Original Night at the Museum star Jacob Cherry opens up about his heartwarming experiences on the movie set.

Speaking to People, Cherry, who portrayed Nick Daley, the son of Ben Stiller's Larry, sang high praises of his Night at the Museum co-star. "[Ben] was really, the best way to put it is, just a normal guy," Cherry said. "One of my core memories – he showed me a Tenacious D music video, and he has a cameo in it. And he was so hyped that he was in this cameo… so just stuff like that. I got to see him as just like a normal person. There was no mask or anything like that."

Based on Milan Trenc's 1993 children's book, Night at the Museum premiered in 2006 and quickly established itself as a fan-favorite, family-friendly comedy. The film starred Stiller as Larry Daley, a night-shift security guard at the American Museum...

You know the saying, “Nothing in life is free”? Well, it might just apply to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, as they allegedly joined the global chorus of support for Ukraine.

When Hollywood stars lend their support to global causes, their actions can often stir emotions, rally millions, and even sway public opinion. But what if the cameras are rolling for more than just a good cause? A recent report reveals that several A-listers, including Angelina Jolie, Orlando Bloom, and Sean Penn, took hefty sums from the U.S. Agency for International Development (Usaid) for their appearances in Ukraine.

These actors, who were vocal in their support for the country amid its conflict with Russia, reportedly received millions for their photo-ops and visits. Is it true? Let’s break down the surprising details and what’s being said about this celebrity involvement.

Comedy would not be where it is today if not for the effervescent presence of Ben Stiller in Hollywood. The actor and comedian has been a stalwart figure in the genre, helping land every film after its release and turning it into a modern-day classic.

In the decades past, classics like Night at the Museum, Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, and Meet the Parents have had Stiller’s initials branded on the labels. The films turned into a trove of creative projects that are irreplaceable and irreplicable in their value and worth. And Ben Stiller has been at the center of them all.

It is not every day that a celebrity resigns to shadows and silence in order to keep the audience away from his personal life.

Ben Stiller is one of the most notable comedic talents of his generation. He is known for his ability to shine in goofy films, such as The Night at the Museum, Dodgeball, or Meet the Parents. The comedian is also known for his work in front of and behind the camera. He made his directorial feature debut in 1994 with the romantic comedy Reality Bites, which was part of his claim to fame. After Reality Bites, Stiller directed other movies and TV episodes, including The Cable Guy and Tropic Thunder.

Stiller's comedies have also gotten sequels fairly often. Meet the Parents, for example, was followed up by Meet the Fockers, which then became a trilogy with the 2010 film Little Fockers. It's now expected to have a fourth installment, with Stiller expected to return. Night at the Museum is also a comedy trilogy, beginning with the 2006 film and ending with Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb...

School is back in session, the sun is setting a little earlier, and you need new movies to watch this August.

Luckily, we have compiled a list of the best new movies streaming on Hulu this August. Hulu has a vast array of new titles coming to the platform, including classic films, light rom-coms and critically acclaimed movies. Binge all of the “Alien” movies before you see “Alien: Romulus,” or catch up on “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” or Sydney Sweeney’s “Immaculate” if you missed them in theaters.

Read for the seven best films making their way to the streamer this month:

Have you been waiting to cross “Casino” off your movies-you-should-have-seen list? There’s no better time than tonight. Martin Scorsese’s 1995 crime film follows gambling expert and low-level mobster Sam “Ace” Rothstein, played by Robert De Niro.

Dan Stevens may have risen to fame from his role as Matthew Crawley on Downton Abbey, but he became even more well-known for his work in genre fare and big-budget blockbusters such as The Guest, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, and the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. After co-creator Justin Roiland was fired from Solar Opposites in early 2023, many were wondering who would become the new voice of the series' snarky and often maniacal alien Korvo. Stevens was announced to be taking over the role only two months before Season 4, and breathed new life into the character, making the voice his own instead of trying to replicate what Roiland did before.

Solar Opposites season 5 features a star-studded cast with notable guest stars joining the main voice actors for new adventures. The series follows Shlorpian aliens on Earth balancing their mission with various Earthly vices, showcasing a variety of unique characters. Voice actors like Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, and Tiffany Haddish bring life to characters like Korvo, Terry, and A.I.S.H.A., each with their own quirks.

Solar Opposites season 5 is finally here, and here is every main voice actor in the show's cast as well as every guest star who cameos in the season. Solar Opposites has been one of Hulu's biggest animated shows since the series was first launched back in 2020, with it taking Rick and Morty style humor and combining its unique characters and an original story in order to create an entirely new beloved sitcom. Throughout its five seasons, Solar Opposites has featured a lot of characters,...

Shawn Levy is currently riding high on the success of his MCU debut Deadpool & Wolverine. The filmmaker collaborated with Ryan Reynolds for the third consecutive time with the Marvel film, which has earned over $924 million at the box office. It is the highest-grossing film of Levy’s career.

Levy has helmed some popular films in the past few decades, with his most famous being the Night at the Museum franchise. The filmmaker mentioned one moment on the sets of the third film Secret of the Tomb, which was also actor Robin Williams’ final film, that impacted him.

Ahead of the release of "Cuckoo," I asked Dan Stevens in an interview where his character, Herr König, ranked in his roster of "freaky lil' weirdos." Instead of being a terrible parent and admitting which child is the gold star, he took the more diplomatic route. "I mean, I love all my weird little freaks equally," he says. "I couldn't possibly put them in order, but he's definitely up there in terms of how fun they were to play, largely because of the environment that was created." I can't argue with the answer and I respect his refusal to play favorites, but I am not Dan Stevens, and therefore, I have no qualms about highlighting all of my favorite weird performances of his, and ranking them so as to appease the almighty algorithm that requires such things. This is by no means a definitive list, but 10 of his absolute finest.

You won’t regret picturing this: it’s a tranquil day at the British Museum, and out of nowhere, you’re swept into a burst of laughter as Hugh Jackman leaps into an impromptu Wolverine performance in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.

This cheeky cameo caught us as off-guard as a rabbit in headlights and had us giggling with glee at Jackman’s seamless pivot from noble King Arthur to our beloved adamantium-clawed mutant. But wait, was this the best cameo to ever grace the big screen? Well, sure, many would argue that it could even give Tom Cruise’s riotous turn as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder a run for its money!

Hulu’s hit series Only Murders in the Building returns for its fourth season this month as the crime-solving trio takes a trip from New York City to Los Angeles to solve yet another murder. But just because they’re moving coasts, doesn’t mean that Oliver (Martin Short), Mabel (Selena Gomez), and Charles (Steve Martin) can escape the deaths that keep plaguing their apartment building.

We also get to see what happens to the Solar Opposites in the aftermath of the series-changing finale when the full fifth season of the series drops this August.

Here’s everything that’s coming to (and leaving) Hulu in August.

If you’re like me, you spend a lot of August yelling “Summer is over!” to your nearest and dearest — and they don’t take kindly to that. Summer TV is in its twilight, while fall premieres loom on the horizon after the Emmy Awards on September 15.

But summer is not over, and there’s plenty of new titles to stream in the Disney bundle. Disney+ will premiere new Star Wars and “Winnie the Pooh” titles for kids, as well as the original series “Are You Sure?!” following BTS’s Jimin and Jung Kook. Hulu will become home to “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” “The Woman King,” “Smile,” and more movie titles, as well as the home for FX series — this month: “The New York Times Presents: Lie to Fly: Documentary Premiere.” Hulu originals “Solar Opposites” returns on August 12, and “Reasonable Doubt” for its second season starting August...

Actor Bill Cobbs, who amassed dozens of acting roles over the course of his career, has passed away. He was 90 years old.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Cobbs died of natural causes on Tuesday. His passing was confirmed by his publicist, Chuck I. Jones, who referred to the Night at the Museum star as "just a phenomenal human being." Jones further described the late actor as a "very genuine, kind, and concerned person who was always looking to help others."

Cobbs was born on June 16, 1934. After serving in the U.S. Air Force for eight years, Cobbs relocated to New York with hopes of launching an acting career in 1970. After getting his start with theater productions, the actor went on to make his feature film debut in 1974's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. More work on the big and small screens would be soon to follow, turning Cobbs into a prolific...

American character actor Bill Cobbs, known for his appearances in The Color Of Money, The Bodyguard, Night At The Museum and many other films and TV shows, has died. He was 90.

According to a statement released by his family, Cobbs died on Tuesday (June 25) at his home in California.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Cobbs did not become a professional actor until he moved to New York in his thirties. He made his feature film debut in 1974 thriller The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three and went on to appear in numerous films through the eighties and nineties, including The Cotton Club,...

Bill Cobbs, a prolific film and TV actor with memorable performances in Night At The Museum, Brother From Another Planet, Oz The Great And Powerful, The Sopranos and dozens of others, died surrounded by family Tuesday, June 25, of natural causes at his home in Inland Empire, California. He was 90.

His death was announced by family members on Facebook, and confirmed to Deadline by his publicist Chuck I. Jones.

“We are saddened to share the passing of Bill Cobbs,” wrote brother Thomas G. Cobbs. “On Tuesday, June 25, Bill passed away peacefully at his home in California. A beloved partner, big brother, uncle, surrogate parent, godfather and friend, Bill recently and happily celebrated his 90th birthday surrounded by cherished loved ones. As a family we are comforted knowing Bill has found peace and eternal rest with his Heavenly Father. We ask for your prayers and encouragement during this time.”

Visual effects company Rearden has settled one of the last remaining lawsuits over the unlicensed use of its motion-capture technology by major Hollywood studios, this time with Paramount.

Both sides on Monday moved to dismiss the lawsuit, which accused Paramount of infringing on Rearden’s VFX software called Mova Contour in the 2015 film Terminator Genisys, according to a court filing. With the move, Rearden draws to a close a legal blitz on studios that it started in 2017 when it filed blockbuster complaints demanding courts block the release of several films from Disney, Fox and Paramount that featured characters made with the stolen tech.

The agreement follows Rearden last month reaching deals to resolve identical lawsuits involving use of Mova in Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Deadpool, Fantastic Four and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. Terms of the settlements weren’t disclosed.

Avengers, re-assemble!

Variety has reported that Shawn Levy, reliable director of “Night at the Museum,” “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” and “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” is “in the mix” to helm the next “Avengers” superhero team-up for Marvel. In late July, his promised-to-be-potty-mouthed R-rated “Deadpool & Wolverine” will hit theaters and, clearly, Marvel’s leader, Kevin Feige, liked what he saw.

Marvel is in desperate need of a course correction after some wobbly entries like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Marvels,” and “Thor: Love and Thunder.” There was once a time when the Marvel opening logo was enough to print money and create cultural resonance, but those days have begun to wane, due in part to a glut of Disney+ streaming shows and the fact that “Avengers: Endgame” really did seem like a nice place to end the story. The word “end...

Dan Stevens is a busy man. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire landed in theaters at the end of March, where Stevens played charming leading man Trapper, then anarchic horror Abigail arrived hot on its heels in April. Next up, August brings strange horror/sci-fi Cuckoo, which sees Stevens playing a deranged scientist. Between press tours, festivals, and new projects, he’s got a lot going on. And we get the sense he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Describing himself as an “experience hound,” Stevens is a man who thrives on challenges. He began his career in theater, made it big as tragic heartthrob Matthew Crawley in British drama Downton Abbey, and has genre-hopped ever since, from action-thriller The Guest, to playing Sir Lancelot in family fun Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. He sang and danced on stilts for Beauty and the Beast, played Charles Dickens...

It’s been less than 12 years since Dan Stevens raised a middle finger to the British aristocracy, quitting “Downton Abbey” as the show neared its Emmy-amassing zenith and setting sail for America with his family. As he admits, he had “absolutely no idea” what was going to happen to him.

“There was no roadmap,” the 41-year-old actor explains with frank honestly about a decision that, at the time, was considered by many to be sheer lunacy. “I left ‘Downton’ with a blank slate. It was just, ‘I think I want to do other things.’ But I didn’t know what that looked like.”

To have an idea of what that currently looks like, anyone need just head to their nearest cinema, where Stevens is going head-to-head against himself in two of the biggest studio releases of the season. In what has become something of a calling card for the Brit...

Dan Stevens will soon be heading to Las Vegas, where he’ll be needed onstage.

The busy actor has been selected to receive CinemaCon’s excellence in acting award at the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners. News of the honor comes ahead of a spell that will see Stevens on the big screen in back-to-back films like Adam Wingard’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire for Legendary and Warner Bros. (out March 29), Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s Abigail for Universal Pictures (out April 19) and Tilman Singer’s Cuckoo for Neon (out Aug. 9).

Stevens will be honored during the Big Screen Achievement Awards, hosted by official presenting sponsor the Coca-Cola Company inside the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on April 11. The ceremony will also see trophies handed out to Amy Poehler (vanguard award), Lupita Nyong’o (star of the year), Shawn Levy (director of the year) and...

The “Among Us” animated series in the works at CBS Studios is continuing to build out its voice cast.

Dan Stevens, Liv Hewson, and Kimiko Glenn have all joined the series adaptation of the popular mobile game. They join previously announced cast members Randall Park, Yvette Nicole Brown, Elijah Wood, and Ashley Johnson.

Character descriptions can be found below.

Stevens is perhaps best known for his time on the beloved series “Downton Abbey” and for starring in the FX-Marvel series “Legion.” He also currently voices one of the main characters on the Hulu animated series “Solar Opposites.” In film, he will appear in the upcoming feature “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” and has previously appeared in productions like “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” and “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.”

He is repped by CAA, Julian Belfrage Associates, and Peikoff Mahan Law Office.

Shawn Levy's experience in comedies, dramas, and fantasy projects makes him a strong asset to direct future MCU projects after Deadpool & Wolverine. Shawn Levy would be a great match for future Ant-Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Young Avengers and Midnight Sons projects. Shawn Levy could use his experience working with mutant characters to direct the McU's X-Men reboot or future Deadpool sequels.

Following the release of Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine, there are several upcoming and rumored MCU projects that Shawn Levy would be a fantastic director for. Acclaimed director, producer, screenwriter and actor Shawn Levy made his directorial feature film debut in 1997 with Address Unknown and romantic comedy-drama Just in Time, and has since worked across a variety of genres and film and TV franchises. Levy won a Producers Guild of America Award for his work on Netflix's Stranger Things, and has been nominated for Emmys, BAFTAs and even an Academy Award,...

Director Shawn Levy may have teased a potential battle between Deadpool and the Hulk in the MCU back in a 2021 social media post. Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Mark Ruffalo, are all regular collaborators with Shawn Levy, so it's possible they could all return in Deadpool & Wolverine. Mark Ruffalo's Hulk appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine could adapt one of Marvel Comics' most iconic and memorable battles.

Marvel Studios' biggest upcoming battle might have already been teased by the director of Deadpool & Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will be joining the MCU as Wade Wilson's Deadpool and James "Logan" Howlett's Wolverine in the Shawn Levy-directed Deadpool & Wolverine, which is set to release on July 26, 2024, as part of the McU's Phase 5. Levy has previously worked with both Reynolds and Jackman, the latter on 2011's Real Steel and 2014's Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, and the former on Levy's most recent projects,...

Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy are teaming up for their fourth collaboration, Boy Band, along with Marvel's Deadpool 3 and an unnamed heist comedy. Levy's involvement in Boy Band has been confirmed as part of Paramount Pictures' renewed first-look deal with Reynolds' production company. Levy and Reynolds have a strong working relationship and were predicted to continue collaborating by Hugh Jackman, who has also worked with both actors.

Deadpool 3 star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy are reteaming for the upcoming Boy Band. This will mark the fourth collaboration between the two, following Free Guy, The Adam Project, and Marvel's highly anticipated Deadpool 3. The two are also attached to a fifth project, an as yet unnamed heist comedy. While details surrounding Boy Band are scarce, we do know that Reynolds will star and produce, Levy will direct, and Jesse Andrews (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl...

Thomas Lennon voices Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, honoring Robin Williams' legacy. Lennon's distinctive voice brings a stately and presidential quality to Teddy Roosevelt's character. Night at the Museum fans will always remember Robin Williams' final scene, a tear-jerking and inspirational moment that brings hope and happiness.

Teddy Roosevelt is a recurring character in the Night at the Museum film franchise, and in Night At The Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again a new actor replaces the late, great Robin Williams in the role. The Night at the Museum franchise includes four films: Night at the Museum (2006), Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014), and the animated Night At The Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again (2022). The series follows a night guard at the American Museum of Natural History, where the exhibits come to life.

If "Rocky" is for Boomers and Gen-Xers and "Creed" is for Millennials, then what is the boxing film of choice for Generation Z? One could argue it's "Real Steel." Yes, really.

Released in 2011, the Hugh Jackman-led sci-fi film is loosely based on "Steel," a short story written by Richard Matheson in the 1950s and one that was previously adapted into an episode of "The Twilight Zone" in 1963. Yet, the film itself was very much meant for families -- including then kiddie-aged Gen-Zers -- when it opened in theaters. It would proceed to top the charts on Netflix almost a decade later when the world was on lockdown in 2020, at which point it became apparent just how much of a lasting imprint Jackman's surprisingly heartfelt boxing robots flick had left on the public's consciousness.

Directed by Shawn Levy, "Real Steel" takes place in an alternate future where, instead of people...

That summer of 2022, the walled coastal French town of Saint-Malo got a taste of Hollywood, with “Stranger Things” director-executive producer Shawn Levy running up and down the windy beach, fiercely determined to shoot crucial scenes of his World War II-set Netflix series “All the Light We Cannot See.”

It wasn’t over-the-top action that Levy was hyped about, but rather an intimate father-daughter moment portrayed by Mark Ruffalo and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti, who plays Marie-Laure, a courageous blind teenager living in Nazi-occupied France.

Loberti, who is a Ph.D. student in rhetoric at Penn State, was discovered through a worldwide casting call for actors who are blind or visually impaired. In “All the Light We Cannot See,” Marie (as she’s called in the series) crosses paths with Werner (Louis Hofmann), a conflicted young German soldier hired for his radio tech skills, who is willing to challenge orders. The textured adaptation,...

This week’s highly anticipated Rick and Morty season 7 premiere, “How Poopy Got His Poop Back,” saw the return of fan-favorite characters Mr. Poopybutthole, Birdperson, Gearhead, and Squanchy, as they try to stage an intervention and inadvertently get riggity-riggity-wrecked with Hugh Jackman. Not a person impersonating Hugh Jackman like they did Ice T in the early seasons, but The Hugh Jackman as a fictionalized version of himself, depicted as a frat boy party animal. In every circumstance, this would be a hysterical cameo if not for the fact that the Wolverine actor has been getting his claws into adult animation for the past several years. Jackman has wholly gotten into his silly voice-acting bag, and I’m here for it.

Dating all the way back to 2006, amidst playing Wolverine in countless X-Men films and hosting the Tonys, Jackman began exploring roles that explored his vocal range, literally. So he starred...

The 2023 Goosebumps reboot features a mix of familiar faces and relatively unknown actors as its main characters. Justin Long, known for comedic roles, plays the strange and unhinged Mr. Bratt, who is possessed by the ghost of Harold Biddle. Rachael Harris, a comedy veteran, takes on the role of Nora, a guilt-ridden mother, while Rob Huebel plays the understanding guidance counselor, Colin.

While 2023’s Goosebumps reboot features a couple of familiar faces, some of the show’s main characters are played by relatively unknown cast members. The Goosebumps franchise began as a series of successful children’s horror novels in the ‘90s. The success of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books inevitably spawned a TV adaptation, and that show became a starting point for future stars. Ryan Gosling famously appeared in an episode of Goosebumps long before he was famous. 2015 also saw the arrival of a live-action Goosebumps movie starring Dylan Minnette,...

Rebel Wilson is rising up the ranks to become a memoirist.

The multi-hyphenate has struck a deal with Simon & Schuster to publish a memoir titled Rebel Rising that will be rolled out globally in hardcover, ebook and audio on April 2, 2024. Wilson will narrate the audiobook.

The book will track her “unconventional journey” to finding success in Hollywood after growing up in Australia. She broke out with scene-stealing turns in Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids and has built a resume that includes Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, How to be Single and What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

In recent years, she’s made headlines for testing her chops in dramatic fare, forays into music, becoming a producer and prepping her directorial debut. Her personal life has also provided inspiration for such a book as she came out after falling in love with a woman, battling weight and fertility...

At 5’2, Mickey Rooney may have been small in stature, but he had a huge personality and was one of the biggest stars in the heyday of the Golden Era of Hollywood. He had one of the longest careers of any entertainer, with a body of work that spans nine decades in the industry, including vaudeville, films, television, radio and the stage.

Rooney was born Joe Yule, Jr. on September 23, 1920, in Brooklyn, New York. At 17 months old, he made his stage debut in his parent’s vaudeville act, and made his motion picture debut in 1926. In 1927, he starred in the first of several short films in the “Mickey Maguire” series, and adopted the stage name “Mickey Rooney.” He made 78 of these comedies, and also received great notices in films such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (1935). Then in 1937, he made the film that would establish his star status. “A Family Affair” was...

Solar Opposites season 4 sees a major change with Dan Stevens replacing Justin Roiland as Korvo, the show's narrator and alien with a distaste for humans. Thomas Middleditch joins the cast as Terry, the laid-back alien partner of Korvo, while Sean Giambrone plays Yumyulack, a cunning and prank-loving scientist alien. Mary Mack, Christina Hendricks, Kieran Culkin, and Christopher Meloni also join the cast, bringing a talented and diverse range of actors to the new season of Solar Opposites.

The Solar Opposites season 4 cast brings back some of the biggest names from the animated series, but there is also one major change that shakes up the entire show. Created by Rick and Morty co-creators Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, the show is about aliens who ended up landing on Earth after their home planet was destroyed by an asteroid. These aliens then set up on Earth, pretending to be humans and fit in,...

The cast of The Resort is an eclectic mix of major stars and recognizable faces that help to make the Peacock original series such a compelling show. The Resort follows a couple on their Mayan Riviera vacation at the Oceana Vista resort who gets wrapped up in a mystery that involves disappearances from years past. Eschewing the typical approach to its mystery story, The Resort deftly blends humor into its narrative for an engrossing mixture of tension and laughs. Though very much plot-driven, the show also put its emphasis on its characters which not only made it more interesting but more engaging as well.

The Resort's first season polarized fans but was met with resounding approval from critics with particular praise being given to its lead actors and its jaunty approach to storytelling. The Resort joins a long list of original programming that has taken the streaming world by...

There’s nothing quite like when HBO is airing one of its trademark watercooler-worthy dramas weekly. Thankfully, we’ll get to it experience exactly that and more on HBO Max in March 2023.

The big ticket item on HBO Max this March is undoubtedly Succession Season 4 on March 26. Part prestige drama and part screwball comedy, Succession is about as fun a watch as they come. Season 4 of the series about egregious wealth will find the Roy siblings reeling after trying and failing to take down their father, Logan (Brian Cox).

HBO Max’s other major TV option this month is another weekly release from HBO. Matthew Rhys returns as the titular lawyer in Perry Mason Season 2 on March 6. Season 1 of this period piece reboot flexed the classic TV character’s detective skills. From the look of the trailer, it seems as though this is the year Perry makes his name in the court room.

HBO Max’s new additions in March 2023 will feature the season finale of a hit series, the return of another award-winning show, and plenty of classic movies for the streamer’s library. February 2023 saw the streaming premieres of Oscar nominees Empire of Light and HBO documentary All That Breathes. The month also brought the releases of the holiday special Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver season 10. Additionally, HBO Max’s February and March streaming titles include two 2023 Best Picture nominees: Elvis and The Banshees of Inisherin.

Coming to HBO Max in March 2023 is the highly-anticipated premiere of Succession season 4 (March 26). The month will also see the series premieres of Perry Mason season 2 (March 6) and the new dark comedy Rain Dogs (March 6). HBO Max subscribers will be able to watch the new comedy special Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me (March...

Rami Malek will star in the 20th Century Studios thriller “Amateur.” The picture, sources affirm, is in development.

Set to be directed by James Hawes, “Amateur” concerns a CIA cryptographer who loses his wife in a London terrorist attack. After his bosses refuse to take direct action, he blackmails his own agency into training him to allow himself to do the job himself.

Malek, who got his start in a small role in “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” burst onto the scene in USA Network’s buzzy conspiracy thriller “Mr. Robot.” He also played Freddie Mercury in Bryan Singer’s controversial but incredibly successful musical biopic, winning the Best Actor Oscar for the 905 million-grossing blockbuster. He has since starred in films like “Amsterdam” and “The Little Things” along with playing the prime bad guy in the most recent 007 movie, “No Time to Die.”

‘Night at the Museum’ has been a beloved comedy for children. In 2006, 20th Century Fox released the first entry to the series which focused on a night guard named Larry Daley who secures a job watching over the American Museum of Natural History since he was desperate to find a job. However, he discovers that the manikins and other objects that symbolize historical figures have come to life every night. The movie was praised for its astonishing special effects, which have made the film a lot more creative in having its children viewers enjoy learning about the fictionalized versions of historical individuals and their humorous and wacky interactions with the guard. The film did an excellent job of having parents entertained with Ben Stiller’s comedic performance as well as casting Robin Williams as Theodore Roosevelt.

Sony’s Columbia Pictures has pushed back the release date for its live-action Harold and the Purple Crayon film by five months, from January 27 to June 30, 2023.

The film from Oscar-nominated director Carlos Saldanha (Ferdinand) was previously set to open against Universal’s genre-bender Distant with Anthony Ramos, IFC Films’ Bob Odenkirk comedy Worlds Apart and Lionsgate’s action-thriller Plane starring Gerard Butler. It will contend on its new date with James Mangold’s Indiana Jones 5, in which Harrison Ford is joined by Fleabag‘s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook and more.

Based on the 1955 children’s book of the same name by Crockett Johnson, Harold and the Purple Crayon follows Harold — a curious four-year-old who, with his purple crayon, has the power to create a world of his own. The film’s ensemble includes Zachary Levi, Zooey Deschanel, Lil Rel Howery, Ravi Patel, Camille Guaty, Tanya Reynolds and Pete Gardner.

Disney is no longer at risk of surrendering profits on two of its blockbusters — Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool — for using allegedly stolen VFX technology to animate CG characters. Conceding that he erred in a previous ruling clearing the way for trial over these films and exposing the company to massive damages, a federal judge on Wednesday found that earnings from the movies cannot be tied back to use of the technology.

Disney still faces the prospect of losing proceeds from Beauty and the Beast, which has grossed 1.26 billion.

The long-running case has a complicated history, featuring a personal feud between two Silicon Valley figures that threatened to delay multiple movies at Disney. At the core of the dispute, software company Rearden asserted ownership of lauded VFX technology called Mova Contour that had improperly been licensed by an outfit founded by a former employee.

Exclusive: Pete Gardner (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) will star alongside Zachary Levi, Zooey Deschanel, Lil Rel Howery, Ravi Patel, Camille Guaty and Tanya Reynolds in Sony Pictures’ live-action adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon, which has wrapped production.

The film from Oscar-nominated director Carlos Saldanha (Ferdinand) is based on the 1955 children’s book by Crockett Johnson, which follows Harold—a curious four-year-old who, with his purple crayon, has the power to create a world of his own. David Guion and Michael Handelman (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb) adapted the screenplay, with John Davis (Dolemite Is My Name) producing through Davis Entertainment. The film is currently in post-production and is slated for release in theaters on January 27, 2023.

Gardner is perhaps best known for his turn as Darryl Whitefeather—the overly-friendly boss of Rachel Bloom’s Rebecca—on The CW’s Emmy-winning musical comedy series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The actor has...
