Working Title co-chairs Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner say there is “a real opportunity” in the sub-$15m budget feature film space, but that “films need to cost less money, and they need to be bolder in that space.”
Speaking in their Screen Talk at the 68th BFI London Film Festival, Bevan cited – without naming - a film Working Title has just made up in Manchester “that completely falls into that – one of the most energetic and fun movies we’ve done.”
Working Title shot Alicia MacDonald’s romantic comedy Cc: Emily, starring Spike Fearn and Angourie Rice, in Manchester this late summer/autumn.

It looks like “fetch” really is not going to happen, and Lacey Chabert, who memorably portrayed Gretchen Wieners in the teen classic Mean Girls, should stop trying to make it happen — according to her daughter, who naturally had no idea what the term referenced.
The Hallmark actress, who is parent to 8-year-old daughter Julia along with husband David Nehdar, told the Today show’s Hoda Kotb, “When she was younger, she was like, ‘What’s fetch, why does everyone say that to you?'”
“She asked me a couple years ago, ‘Mom, do other people watch those movies that you make?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, baby, they’re not just for you,'” she said, wrapping up the amusing anecdote.
Of course, fans of the 2004 Tina Fey hit will remember Gretchen’s unsupported efforts to make a slang word popular. In one scene of the film — which hilariously traces...

Ryan Gosling is living his best life these days. Or certainly his funniest. After earning an Academy Award nomination purely based on his ability to persuasively turn “Kenergy” into a noun in last summer’s Barbie, he brought that pure, uncut Ken stuff to the Oscar stage. No, not by winning the prize, but by taking home the hearts and minds of the internet with an epic performance of “I’m Just Ken.”
In hindsight, the spectacle of it all might be viewed as a turning point in his career as audiences embrace the guy who seemed so stoic and tortured in the 2010s—with his understated leading roles in Drive, Blade Runner 2049, Blue Valentine, and First Man—as actually a great comedy talent.

Shane Black’s 2016 comedy thriller The Nice Guys didn’t perform well enough to qualify for a sequel, and its co-star Ryan Gosling says the culprit was Angry Birds.
Those surprised by Ryan Gosling’s Oscar-nominated comedy turn in last year’s Barbie almost certainly missed The Nice Guys – writer-director Shane Black’s drily funny thriller from 2016. Co-starring with Russell Crowe, Gosling played Holland March, the worst private detective ever according to his own daughter, played by Angourie Rice.
Despite its two stars and some upbeat reviews behind it, The Nice Guys failed to catch on in cinemas, only making a shade over its $50m budget in ticket sales.

Ryan Gosling is reflecting on the reason he believes the 2016 action-comedy The Nice Guys didn’t score a sequel.
The Barbie actor told ComicBook.com, in an interview published online Tuesday, that there likely won’t be a follow-up because the original movie was overwhelmed by The Angry Birds Movie at the box office during its debut weekend.
“So much of a sequel, I think, is decided by the opening weekend of a movie, and we opened up against Angry Birds,” Gosling explained. “So Angry Birds just, just destroyed us. Angry Birds got a sequel.” The Angry Birds Movie 2 premiered in 2019.
And the Fall Guy star was right, as the Shane Black-directed film had a tough battle during its opening weekend. It was not only up against Angry Birds but also Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. Additionally, Captain America: Civil War was in its third weekend in theaters, so Marvel fans also played a factor.

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe starred in The Nice Guys in 2016, but the movie didn’t get a sequel despite its positive reviews.
In a recent interview, the Barbie actor says he thinks the reason the action comedy film directed by Shane Black didn’t get a sequel was the opening box office numbers.
“So much of a sequel, I think, is decided by the opening weekend of a movie, and we opened up against Angry Birds,” Gosling told Comic Book in an interview. “So Angry Birds just, just destroyed us. Angry Birds got a sequel.”
The Angry Birds Movie had an opening weekend of $38M, easily topping The Nice Guys, which generated only $11.2M at the box office. On the same weekend, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising opened to a $21.7M weekend. The films also had to fend off Marvel fans, with Captain America: Civil War earning $32.9M in its third weekend.

Jenna Fischer put her acting skills to the test on the set of 2024’s Mean Girls. The actress revealed this week she filmed the movie with a broken shoulder.
“I shot for one day on Mean Girls, and then I didn’t have to shoot for a month,” Fischer told People. “And in that month I went on a ski trip and I fell on a sidewalk and I broke my shoulder. So I had to shoot the rest of the movie with a very newly broken shoulder.”
Fischer played Ms. Heron, the daughter of protagonist Cady (Angourie Rice) in the musical movie. After she returned with her arm in a sling, the actress said the crew got creative in accommodating the injury.

2004's "Mean Girls" has become a seminal classic of teen girl cinema, with Rachel McAdams' Regina George, Lacey Chabert's Gretchen Weiners, Amanda Seyfried's Karen Smith, and Lindsay Lohan's Cady Heron just as culturally important (and quotable) as say, Matthew Broderick in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." A time capsule of early aughts fashion and sensibilities, "Mean Girls" is a cultural touchstone and arguably the last time a teen movie crossed over into mainstream popularity without being a part of a massive franchise like "Twilight" or "The Hunger Games" (or a slasher film). Simply put, "Mean Girls" is now woven into the fabric of American pop culture.
The film helped solidify Lohan's place as one of Hollywood's "it girls," and her off-set antics became just as talked about as whatever film she had out in theaters. So much so, that even the insulting nickname "fire crotch" for her made...

The digital release of the 2024 musical remake of Mean Girls arrived on February 20th, but not included was a joke utilizing the term “fire crotch,” which was reportedly removed after Lindsay Lohan expressed “hurt and disappointment” over the remark.
The joke in question is delivered by Megan Thee Stallion, portraying herself. Stating her support for the film’s protagonist, Cady Heron (Angourie Rice), she says: “We are going back red. Y2K fire crotch is back!”
Lohan, who portrayed Cady in the 2004 original and even makes a cameo in the new 2024 film, expressed her distaste for the joke through a publicist, Leslie Sloane, who told The Messenger that she was “very hurt and disappointed by the reference.” The term “fire crotch” was previously associated with her in 2006 when socialite Brandon Davis made derogatory comments about her in a viral video featuring Paris Hilton.

A not-so-fetch joke has been removed from the “Mean Girls” (2024) movie musical for its digital release.
The quip in question seemingly referred to original 2004 “Mean Girls” star Lindsay Lohan as “fire crotch,” a callback to an infamous TMZ paparazzi video in which socialite Brandon Davis made comments about Lohan’s body.
In the new “Mean Girls,” rapper Megan Thee Stallion — playing herself — uses the term to reference Lohan. The scene comes in the final moments of the film during a prom sequence, where Stallion, tells the new Cady Heron (Angourie Rice; Lohan was the Og Cady): “We are going back red. Y2K fire crotch is back!”
The updated cut for streaming and VOD release now has Stallion solely saying, “We are going back to red” — you can watch the re-edited version here.

The new Mean Girls film is heading to digital but Paramount has wisely removed a joke that offended original star Lindsay Lohan. More below.
Despite mixed reviews and trailers, which didn’t really make it clear it was a musical, Mean Girls has had a very successful run at the global box office. The film has grossed over $100 million worldwide, but it also caused some controversy upon release.
Lindsay Lohan, who played the main role of Cady Heron in the original 2004 film, was said to have been “hurt” by a joke in the film.
The “joke” in question happens during a montage which showcases online videos made in Cady’s (played by Angourie Rice in the new film) support.

A joke from Mean Girls which Lindsay Lohan pushed back against seems to be missing from at-home versions of the film released last week.
The movie musical version of the film, which began as Tina Fey’s beloved 2004 movie starring Lohan and then went to Broadway before making its way back to the screen this year, became available on digital platforms last week after its theatrical debut in January.
The film, which opened 2024 with a bang at the box office, featured a cameo from Megan Thee Stallion telling Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) that “Y2K fire crotch is back.”
In 2006, a TMZ video made headlines for oil empire heir Brandon Davis’ insulting comments about Lohan, which included him referring to the actress as a “fire crotch.”
The controversial joke is now missing from some versions of the film’s digital release, including an edition rented from Amazon by The Hollywood Reporter.

Dakota Johnson and Henry Cavill’s big box office releases of 2024 were major misses at the theaters. Despite its ensemble cast, Cavill’s film with Matthew Vaughn, Argylle, bombed at the box office. Dakota Johnson, on the other hand, tried her hands at the superhero genre with Madame Web but failed miserably and her film gained the new title of ‘worst comic book movie of all time’. Despite potentially losing millions for the studios, these films are currently among the top 5 movies of 2024.
Top 5 films of 2024 so far – The Beekeeper, Mean Girls, Bob Marley: One Love, Argylle, and Madame Web
