Decades after A Different World ended, the Cosby Show spin-off is gearing up for a sequel, and it finally has a cast. The original A Different World show ran from 1987 to 1993 and followed Lisa Bonet's Denise Huxtable and Marisa Tomei's Maggie Lauten as they attended an Hbcu (Historically Black College or University). After the second season, however, Bonet and Tomei both left the show, due to Bonet's pregnancy. Tragically, several A Different World cast members have died since the show's conclusion, including Lou Myers (Vernon Gaines), Diahann Carroll (Marion Gilbert), and Rosalind Cash (Dean Hughes).

According to a report by Variety, Netflix is already planning an updated cast for its sequel show. While there is no word about what will happen to the late actors' characters, the pilot has cast six series regulars already. Chibuikem Uche will be playing Kojo, Maleah Joi Moon will be Deborah, Cornell Young will be Shaquille,...

Director Zach Golden (High Heat) is headed into the zombie arena with his next movie Hellhound, a zombie comedy that’s putting together one hell of an impressive cast.

Variety reports that Oscar winners Marisa Tomei and Sam Rockwell will star in the zombie comedy Hellhound, with the cast also including Chris Messina and Ivan Martin.

In the film, “when a zombie outbreak hits small-town NY, a washed-up veterinarian must team up with his ex-wife and her new cop boyfriend to stop President William White and his right-hand man General Graves from destroying NYC.

The screenplay was written by Ivan Martin.

“We are thrilled to bring Zach Golden’s and Ivan’s Martin’s fun, exciting, action packed script to life,” said producer Joseph Restaino.

Before landing his lead role in Tina Fey’s Netflix dramedy series “The Four Seasons,” U.S.-based Italian multi-hyphenate Marco Calvani had not acted in over a decade.

Calvani, who was born and raised in the city of Prato, near Florence, trained as an actor in Tuscany when he was a teenager and has appeared in several Italian and international TV shows and films, including Tom Fontana’s series “Borgia” produced by Barry Levinson. But he gradually made the transition to becoming a playwright and film director.

“By the time I wrote my fourth play, I started to direct and I was like, ‘I don’t want to act anymore. It’s great, but everything I’ve learned as an actor, now I want to put it into writing and directing,'” he recalls in an interview with Variety.

His career as a writer-director gained traction in the early...

Before Rachel Zegler joined the list of actresses to play beloved Disney Princesses, she had already starred in a few major films. From Maria in West Side Story to Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Zegler made a name for herself quickly. In March, she became Disney royalty, portraying Snow White in the film of the same name. Now, in her first movie post-Snow White, the actress will step into the life of a daughter with an ex-punk rocker mom in the comedy drama She Gets It From Mealongside Marisa Tomei(May Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

According to Variety, Tomei will play the rowdy, wild-living mother, and the project is apparently based on a true story. It follows Nicky (Zegler) as her engagement, a moment that was supposed to be a celebration, turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker...

With Snow White failing to leave the mark that Walt Disney Studios would have expected, many thought that Rachel Zegler was in for a long hiatus. After all, it ain’t an easy task to dissuade an entire fandom from watching a movie with a few statements.

Zegler had done just that, stoking one controversy after another with her statements. For all the positive reactions that came the live-action’s way after the movie’s premiere, fans were not having any of it. But it seems like the 23-year-old has already set her eyes on her next movie.

Rachel Zegler (“West Side Story”) has landed quite the project as she’ll be leading “She Gets It From Me,” which hails from German writer/director Julia von Heinz (“Treasure”), as the project is heading to the film market at the Cannes Film Festival next month with Embankment handling sales.

2025 was supposed to be an exciting year for Rachel Zegler, who officially became a Disney Princess in the new Snow White remake. However, the project was one of the most controversial recent releases, and the actress is now moving on.

Following the disappointing run of Snow White, which has been review-bombed and critically panned, with poor box office results, Rachel Zegler has found her new film.

Finn Wolfhard is about to star inThe Legend of Ochi, a family-friendly A24 film about a young girl named Yuri (Helena Zengel) and her adventure with an Ochi, a creature she's been taught to fear. But also starring in the film is Willem Dafoe, and Wolfhard was totally awestruck by him.

"For the first few days, it was hard not to see Norman Osborn," Wolfhard told People of his co-star. Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, is one of the most feared and famous villains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Originally debuting in Spider-Man back in 2002, he proved to be everything audiences wanted in a supervillain, and he came close to killing Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker a couple of times.

Dafoe returned as Norman in the multiverse adventure Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, and quickly established himself as a terrible threat to Tom Holland's Peter Parker as well.

The hottest picks on Tubi in May 2025

The Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise is the most successful in Hollywood history. It has grossed over $31 billion at the box office and its legacy will continue in the years ahead, with plenty of exciting titles on the horizon. From the Infinity Saga to the Multiverse Saga and beyond, fans are loving what the MCU is producing.

There are countless beloved heroes in the franchise, but Captain America might just be the most important of all. The Star-Spangled Man With A Plan is, after all, the first Avenger, so it makes sense that he be at the center of the franchise - and he was, for the longest time. As one of the leaders of the Avengers and a pop-culture legend even within the fictitious world of the franchise, Chris Evans' Steve Rogers was a fixture of the MCU until 2019's Avengers: Endgame when he handed the shield over to longtime friend,...

Zendaya on the real Mvp of Spider Man: No Way Home ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

In an interview with Marvel, she didn’t hold back: “She raised a great young man, and she’s done it on her own. She doesn’t get the credit she deserves.” For Zendaya, it wasn’t Tony Stark or any other mentor who shaped Peter Parker into the hero fans loved, it was May. “It’s important to acknowledge May in the respect that everybody is like, ‘Oh, he always has to have a mentor,’ all these father figures and all this stuff. But May has raised him. Shoutout to May!”

And honestly? She had a point.

Spider-Man: No Way Home wrapped up Tom Holland’s trilogy with nostalgia, heartbreak, and multiversal chaos. But amid the surprise returns – Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina – it was May’s quiet strength that anchored Peter’s emotional arc.

When Marc Webb directed "The Amazing Spider-Man" in 2012, many audiences felt ambivalent. It had only been five years since Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3," so that seemed like a very swift turnaround time for a continuity reboot of a well-known superhero. Little did audiences know in 2012 that only two years would elapse between Webb's 2014 sequel "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and Anthony and Joe Russo's "Captain America: Civil War," which featured yet another rebooted version of Spider-Man. That meant there were three mainstream theatrical versions of Spider-Man in nine years. To put that in perspective, there were only three Indiana Jones movies from 1981 to 1989.

That also meant there were three versions of Aunt May, Peter Parker's long-suffering aunt who struggles to pay the bills and doesn't know her nephew is Spider-Man. In Raimi's "Spider-Man" films, Aunt May was played by Rosemary Harris. In "Civil War," she was played by...

One of the most obnoxious sitcom tropes is when a show becomes popular enough that celebrities begin appearing on it as themselves. Now, some shows have made it work. Insane guest stars are The Simpsons thing, for example. And Curb Your Enthusiasm is about a guy in show business, so celebrities playing themselves makes total sense. But when a show is about ordinary people yet gigantic household names keep showing up on their doorstep the reality of that world is blown apart.

There have, however, been a handful of times when a celebrity played themselves on a sitcom and actually pulled it off. These are the top five…

5 Marisa Tomei on ‘Seinfeld’

Tomei’s appearance on Seinfeld worked out of sheer absurdity alone. The very idea that the pathetic George Costanza (Jason Alexander) would be exactly her type is funny on its own, but when George and Marisa meet, the comedy is sublime.

Brand New Day and One More Day. The words that strike fear in the hearts of Spider-Man fans.

Brand New Day successfully rejuvenated Spider-Man comics but at the cost of decades worth of storytelling, character-growth, and fans’ wishes. Love it or hate it, it is one of the most defining stories in recent times, introducing new characters, fresh storylines, and an exciting status quo.

With Marvel set to possibly adapt the storyline, let’s dive into the backstory, status quo setup, and the fans’ reactions to it all.

So, you’re telling me Marvel might be hitting the reset button on Spider-Man’s entire emotional journey? Again? Look, I love a good multiverse twist as much as the next nerd, but if the MCU decides to hit the magical undo button on one of the most powerful moments in superhero cinema, I will personally web-swing into Kevin Feige’s office and demand justice.

We’ve seen it before, comic book storylines getting a little too convenient, like an “oopsie, my bad” moment that resets everything because feelings are hard and consequences are scary. But let me be clear, some things should never be undone, and if the Brand New Day storyline creeps into the MCU, we may be in for a timeline catastrophe that not even Doctor Strange can fix.

Exclusive: Skylar Astin (So Help Me Todd), Jake Cannavale (The Offer), Sabrina Bartlett (Bridgerton), Natasha Leggero (He’s Just Not That Into You), and Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) have joined Marisa Tomei and Virginia Gardner in the cast of romantic comedy F*ck Valentines Day, which is filming in Malta.

From writer Steve Bencich and director Mark Gantt, the film follows Gina (Gardner), born on the most celebrated day of love, Valentine’s Day, which she detests immensely. She is determined to stop her boyfriend from popping the question on a birthday getaway in Greece, home of her vivacious mother (Tomei). Enlisting fellow vacationers, the handsome Johnny Giovinazzo and his brassy sister Mickey, Gina hopes to delay the proposal, leading Gina to discover that she just might be with the wrong guy.

Producers are Nancy Leopardi of Indy Entertainment, John Ierardi and Bo Youngblood of Showdown Productions and Michael Cassutt.

Netflix is eying A Different World as its next shot at a hit reboot series.

Per Deadline, the streaming giant is currently set to produce a pilot for a sequel series to 1987's A Different World. The follow-up will focus on Deborah, the daughter of Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert-Wayne, portrayed by Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy in the original series.

Like the original, the A Different World will follow its cast of characters as they navigate life at an Hbcu (Historically Black College & Universities). The sequel will be written by Felicia Pride and directed by Debbie Allen. The pair will both executive produce alongside Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Bythewood. This marks a partial reunion, as Allen, Werner, Prince-Bythewood and Bythewood all worked together on the original series, with Allen having directed 83 of the series 144 episodes. Casting is currently underway for the part of Deborah and other leading and featured roles.

A new open letter signed by around 600 Oscar voters, including Ava DuVernay, Olivia Colman and Javier Bardem, has criticized the leadership of the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its initial response to the recent assault and arrest of Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal.

“It is indefensible for an organization to recognize a film with an award in the first week of March, and then fail to defend its filmmakers just a few weeks later,” the open letter updated Friday and signed by AMPAS members across a range of genres, including documentaries, stated.

The AMPAS voters were reacting to a statement put out Wednesday by Academy leaders Bill Kramer and Janet Yang that suggested the beating and arrest of recent Oscar-winner Hamdan Ballal is something Academy members will have “many unique viewpoints” on.

Other well-known Academy members who signed the letter include Mark Ruffalo, Oscar-winning Zone of Interest director Jonathan Glazer,...

Updated, 12:50 Pm: More than 900 Academy members have now signed the letter, including actors Carey Mulligan, Glenn Close, Andrew Garfield, America Ferrera, Edward Norton, Jane Fonda, Pedro Pascal, Kristin Scott Thomas, Frances Fisher and Elizabeth Olsen; actor-directors Taika Waititi, Ben Affleck and Todd Field; filmmakers Denis Villeneuve, Michael Moore, Stephen Frears, Abigail Disney, Asif Kapadia, Jay Roach, J.J. Abrams and Michael Mann; composer Carter Burwell; Board of Governors VP/Secretary Howard Rodman (writers branch); and all three documentary branch Governors — Simon Kilmurry, Chris Hegedus, and Jean Tsien.

Ralph Macchio is not done with Daniel Larusso yet as he returns in this year’s Karate Kid: Legends alongside Jackie Chan. The actor finally had his arc completed in Netflix’s Cobra Kai along with William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence. The show reunited many of the iconic characters from the ‘80s The Karate Kid franchise and gave them an arc.

While the reboot of The Karate Kid may have worked out, Macchio’s wishlist for another of his classic’s reboot may not be as easy as Cobra Kai. The actor mentioned that he was having conversations with writers for a reboot of My Cousin Vinny, which starred Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei, who also won the Oscar for the role.

If you've paid any kind of attention to Sylvester Stallone's film career for any amount of time, you know he's made some absolutely terrible movies. To be fair, some were out of necessity. Prior to becoming a big screen superstar in 1976 with "Rocky," a briefly homeless Stallone starred in a quickie pornographic romance called "The Party at Kitty and Stud's" (which was rereleased post-stardom as "The Italian Stallion"). Around the same time, he also appeared in the low-budget terrorism thriller "No Place to Hide," which was recut as a comedy and dumped into video stores in 1990 with the title "A Man Called... Rainbo."

For the most part, however, Stallone has been the author of his own cinematic misery. After the wild critical and commercial success of "Rocky", the star went on a decade-plus tear during which he could get anything greenlit. At first, he put his newfound box office...

If Ralph Macchio has his way, Vinny Gambini may find himself in a courtroom once again. While speaking with People at PaleyFest, Macchio teased that he’s spoken with writers about a possible sequel to My Cousin Vinny, the comedy in which he starred alongside Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei.

“Yeah, I’ve had conversations with other writers about that,” Macchio said. “Yeah, that one’s a beloved piece. It’s about finding the smart angle in.“

Although Pesci doesn’t exactly do a lot of acting these days, Macchio knows that the great actor would need to be involved, at least in some way. “He could FaceTime it in here,” Macchio suggested. I’m not sure if that would fly.

The 1992 comedy involves two young New Yorkers who are arrested in Alabama and put on trial for a murder they didn’t commit. Macchio’s character calls up his cousin Vinny,...

Ralph Macchio is not one to shun a reboot or remake of some of his popular works. From The Karate Kid to The Outsiders and My Cousin Vinny, the actor has starred in some beloved movies, with The Karate Kid being his most popular role. The franchise has been rebooted numerous times in TV and film, with the latest being Karate Kid: Legends, in which Macchio is involved. People caught up with the actor at PaleyFest and the 1992 film came up. Macchio admitted there have been conversations sorrounding a reboot. "I've had conversations with other writers about that," he said. He added: "Yeah, that one's a beloved piece. It's about finding the smart angle in.” However, Macchio had a caveat for a future reboot. He said it must involve his costar Joe Pesci, who played the titular character. He suggested Pesci's potential appearance, saying,

"He could FaceTime it in here.

The 90s brought us a lot of great comedies that are still talked about today. Groundhog Day, Dazed and Confused, Friday, and Clueless are a few that come to mind, but there is one that often goes overlooked when being added to "Best Of" lists: My Cousin Vinny. Starring Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, and Ralph Macchio, the film earned Tomei an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and at the time, it was a box office smash. Now, almost 35 years after it made its world premiere, Macchio says there is the possibility that a legacy sequel could be in order.

Speaking with People at PaleyFest on Saturday, March 22, the subject of a reboot of My Cousin Vinny was broached to Macchio, who recently found success starring in Cobra Kai, the sequel series to one of his other beloved classics, The Karate Kid. While nothing has been made official, the 63-year-old actor...

Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner has withdrawn his proposed plan to evict O Cinema from its publicly owned building over the theater’s decision to screen the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.”

Instead, he said at a City Commission meeting on Wednesday that he wants the theater to offer “a fair and balanced viewpoint” going forward, according to the Miami Herald. The update comes the same day that city officials were set to vote on the theater’s future.

Commissioners Tanya Katzoff Bhatt, Laura Dominguez, Alex Fernandez, Kristen Rosen Gonzalez and Joseph Magazine voiced their disagreement with Meiner’s plan at said meeting, while David Suarez offered his support. The vast majority of local attendees were in opposition to Meiner’s proposal, per the paper.

“I legitimately viewed this as a public safety threat,” the mayor said. “I really am appreciative of the passion that we saw today.”

On Monday,...

Michael Moore, Barry Jenkins, Marisa Tomei, Ezra Edelman, Phil Lord and more than 600 other members of the international filmmaking community have signed an open letter to the Mayor and City Commission of Miami Beach over their proposed censorship of “No Other Land.”

“We, the undersigned members of the international filmmaking community, write to express our deep concern and condemnation of your attempts to censor O Cinema, a local independent movie theater, for its exhibition of the Academy Award-winning documentary, ‘No Other Land,’ by withholding its funding and ending its lease,” the Monday letter reads.

“O Cinema has a long history of supporting important and diverse viewpoints that foster dialogue. We as filmmakers invite critical discussion of any film, but your decision to punish O Cinema for screening ‘No Other Land’ is an attack on freedom of expression, the right of artists to tell their stories and a violation of the First Amendment,...

Sadie Sink has been cast to star opposite Tom Holland in “Spider-Man 4” – but who could she play?

Sink is the first major actor to join the project and her announcement led to much speculation as to who she could play in the Marvel sequel, which will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi”) and is due to start filming this year.

The “Stranger Things” star has been at the top of fans’ wishlist for a certain phoenix-fueled X-Man for years now, but that’s far from the only option for the actress.

Below are three of the top running possibilities for Sink to play in the upcoming MCU sequel and how she could possibly be incorporated.

While the Academy Awards don’t often honor actors for comedic work, over the decades a few funny performances have still slipped through the cracks, such as Marisa Tomei, who won for My Cousin Vinny. And even then, some people tried to claim that her well-deserved win was really due to some kind of La La Land-esque screw-up.

One memorable comedy win came in 1989, when Kevin Kline took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for playing the psychotic dum-dum Otto in A Fish Called Wanda. This probably would have been the biggest shock of the night, if not for the fact that it was the same ceremony that opened with a trainwreck of a musical number starring Rob Lowe and Snow White.

During his speech, Kline shouted out the film’s screenwriter John Cleese, who he jokingly claimed once told him, “I want to write a movie where you get...

As we previously reported, Gene Hackman passed away at the age of 95 this week.

Hackman was a Hollywood legend with two Oscars and countless incredible performances to his name. But his death is generating headlines for reasons that have nothing to do with his career accomplishments.

The actor was found dead alongside his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and one of the couple’s dogs.

Police have deemed the circumstances “suspicious,” and the more we find out about his bizarre case, the more questions we’re left with.

When word got out that Hackman’s wife and dog were also among the deceased, many assumed that a gas or carbon monoxide leak had caused their deaths.

Soap operas are often an overlooked genre, but earlier this week, daytime dramas were spotlighted in heart-lifting and heartbreaking ways at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

In Memoriam

The soap community has experienced many losses in the last year, and at the SAG Awards, several soap actors were honored and remembered. The show’s In Memoriam segment featured General Hospital’s Leslie Charleson, Johnny Wactor, and Nicholas Pryor; Days of Our Lives‘ Roman Bradys, Wayne Northrop and Drake Hogestyn; Another World and The Bay star John Aprea; and the great James Earl Jones, who once appeared on Guiding Light and As the World Turns.

To the surprise of many—except those who follow awards season closely, of course—Best Supporting Actress is one of the most exciting categories at any given Oscar ceremony. The category has provided some of the Academy's all-time best winners, from the heartbreaking Cloris Leachman in The Last Picture Show to the irreverent Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny to the terrifying Mo'Nique in Precious. Indeed, few categories are as consistently exciting or unexpected as Best Supporting Actress, to the point where it feels the Oscars see it as the one chance they get to actually have fun with their pick.

Sony and Marvel Studios’ new untitled Spider-Man with Tom Holland and from Destin Daniel Cretton is going a week later on July 31 instead of July 24 in 2026.

What’s so special about July 31 over July 24? It’s the last Friday in July, which essentially where Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine played to an opening of $211.4M domestic, $444.7M worldwide.

There’s something else though: Spidey on its old date was going in the immediate week wake of Christopher Nolan’s new Matt Damon movie The Odyssey on July 17 from Universal. On its new date, Spidey is two weeks from Nolan’s feature take of the Homer epic, and now going up against Spin Master/Paramount’s Paw Patrol 3.

It can also be inferred that Nolan will at least get his fair share of Imax screens — for about two weeks. Likely another reason why Spider-Man moved.

As the 2025 Ee BAFTA Film Awards got underway on Sunday in London, a slew of stars hit the red carpet. The guest list includes a number of performers nominated this year, including Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore, Timothée Chalamet, Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Isabella Rossellini, Mikey Madison, Ralph Fiennes, Denis Villeneuve, Colman Domingo, Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Strong, Sebastian Stan, Saoirse Ronan, Sean Baker, Marianna Jean-Baptiste, Guy Pearce, Hugh Grant and plenty more.

“Conclave” leads the pack of 2025 BAFTA Film Awards nominees with 12 nods, one more than “Emilia Pérez.” “The Brutalist,” meanwhile, received nine nominations, including best film, director (Brady Corbet) and actor (Adrien Brody), followed by seven each for “Anora,” “Dune: Part Two” and “Wicked.” Of those three, only “Anora” made the cut for best film and director (Sean Baker). Coralie Fargeat landed the last spot in the director category, for “The Substance.” She, like Baker and Corbet,...

Throughout its brilliant nine-season run, "Seinfeld" brought a number of celebrities on to play amusing caricatures of themselves. Raquel Welch (star of "Scarsdale Surprise"), Marisa Tomei and "The Velvet Fog" Mel Tormé are just a few big names that got in on the fun, but it's arguable the most memorable drop-ins came from the world of sports. Given that Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are both massive sports fans, this shouldn't be surprising, but it is interesting that both men managed to get players from their favorite, and very different, New York baseball teams to guest on the show.

David, a well-known Yankees fanatic, prevailed upon newly minted World Series champions Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams to appear on the Season 8 episode "The Abstinence" in 1996. Though not anywhere near a top-tier episode, Jeter and Williams were game and comfortable within the comedy genre – which is not always the case for...

Was Kaley Cuoco anout to lose the role of Penny to a known actress? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Kaley Cuoco may have been the perfect fit for Penny on ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ but the role almost went to someone else after she was initially rejected for the part, and several other Hollywood stars were in the running.

However, according to LADBible, this initial rejection might not have been as devastating as it seems, considering the character of Penny was originally written quite differently.
