"Everybody wants one!" Shout Studios has unveiled a second trailer for a wacky, extra dark comedy / crime thriller mashup titled The Kill Room, arriving in theaters nationwide next week. The first trailer arrived during the summer. Looks like it could be a hit! The sneaky crime plot is about a hitman (Manganiello), his boss (Jackson), an art dealer (Thurman), and their money laundering scheme that turns the hitman into an overnight, avant garde art sensation (called "The Bagman"), forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld. Everyone comes together for one big showdown at the most unlikeliest, yet perfect place for them all - The Miami Art Fair. Uma Thurman stars with Joe Manganiello, Samuel L. Jackson, Debi Mazar, Maya Hawke, Dree Hemingway, Amy Keum, Candy Buckley, Larry Pine, Jennifer Kim, & Alexander Sokovikov. The film seems like a fun riff on how ridiculous the art world is,...

Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke are making their onscreen debut together in the dark comedy crime movie “The Kill Room.”
Directed by Nicol Paone, the film centers on art gallery owner Patrice Capullo (Thurman) who enters a money laundering scheme with the mob to save her company. The only catch? Hitman Reggie’s (Manganiello) artwork inspired by his brutal killings leads him to become the biggest name in high art since Banksy. Now his fans — and crime syndicate enemies — are clamoring to uncover the identity of the anonymous artist only know as the Bagman.
Samuel L. Jackson stars as Reggie’s boss Gordon Davis, marking a “Pulp Fiction” reunion alongside Thurman. Hawke is among the many cast of characters seeking the Bagman, along with Debi Mazar, Dree Hemingway, Amy Keum, Candy Buckley, Larry Pine, Jennifer Kim, Matthew Maher, Tom Pecinka, and Alexander Sokovikov.

The producers and creative team behind Broadway’s upcoming musical adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ The Notebook say they are “encouraged” by the author’s “strong statement of support of the Lgbtq+ community today,” and note in a statement of their own that they have “complete freedom to create a very new piece of art from the source material of the book” that “that reflects our core values of diversity and inclusion.”
The pointed assertion of artistic independence came just several hours after Sparks released a lengthy statement (read it below) in which he took issue with last week’s Daily Beast article that portrayed the hugely successful romance writer as homophobic and racist.
Included in the Daily Beast article – which detailed a lawsuit that pits Sparks and the faith-based Epiphany School of Global Studies (which he co-founded) against former headmaster Saul Benjamin. The fired Benjamin is suing Sparks and the Epiphany board over his dismissal,...

For the second time in recent months, real-world controversy has visited the make-believe world of Broadway musicals.
Nicholas Sparks, whose 1996 novel The Notebook is being turned into a Broadway musical by, among others, playwright and This Is Us producer Bekah Brunstetter, was slammed in a Daily Beast article today for seemingly anti-gay emails he sent to the former headmaster of the faith-based prep school Sparks co-founded in 2006.
The situation echoes – if at a much lower volume – the recent and far-from-over controversy trailing the Michael Jackson-based musical Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.
Just this week, Vanessa Hudgens confirmed that she would take part in the first staged reading of the musical Notebook adaptation at Vassar and New York Stage & Film’s prestigious annual play development incubator called the Powerhouse. Others reportedly set to take part in the one-time-only reading on June 23 are Jelani Alladin, Nicholas Belton, Candy Buckley,...

Scandalous Neil Simon Theatre, NYC
Well, you can't blame the cast, and shaking one's fists at God seems pointless, but regardless of who's at fault, Scandalous, the new musical playing at the Neil Simon, is painful enough to make even the most fervent believers question their faith in musical theater. Armed with a heavily plotted story and the general mirth of a crucifixion, this musical is sadly beyond salvation.
It all begins with a poorly selected and misleading title that makes us feel we're about to see something tawdry, or at least mildly titillating; instead we are pushed through the life story of Aimee Semple McPherson, a woman we hardly care about and who would be much better served by a more objective Ken Burns documentary.
Carolee Carmello deserves some kind of award for endurance, as she spends less than seven minutes off the stage for this song-heavy production and,...
