When Travis Knight's "Bumblebee" was released in 2018, it was almost unanimously hailed as a breath of fresh air, a sort of watershed moment for the "Transformers movies (a blockbuster franchise that had begun to run out of steam). It is rare for the sixth installment in a property to elicit such reactions, but "Bumblebee" proved that a fundamentally silly franchise like "Transformers" could cut the cake and eat it too, with meaningful, grounded charm going hand in hand with the flashy thrills that the "Transformers" movies are known for. The first Michael Bay-directed "Transformers" films that came before this had set a very different precedent when it came to quality, yet they all have a few things in common: they're pulpy, tonally inconsistent, feature jokes that haven't aged well, and elicit divisive responses among longtime fans of the property.

Regardless of how you feel about Bay's first "Transformers" film,...

Duhamel teamed up with Lopez for the first time in Amazon Prime’s Shotgun Wedding, where the two played a married couple whose wedding gets hijacked. In addition to Duhamel, Lopez worked with many stars including Jennifer Coolidge and Lenny Kravitz. Although Duhamel is a star himself, he initially found Lopez intimidating thanks to her star power.

“It could have been scary,” Duhamel told Entertainment Weekly about doing a film with her.

But fortunately, Lopez quickly put him at ease.

There could be more 9-1-1 on the horizon, and the possibilities surrounding that are endless.

When news broke via Variety recently that Ryan Murphy was working on another spinoff of the popular first responder procedural that would potentially come in the wake of 9-1-1: Lone Star officially ending its run over five seasons, many thoughts came to mind.

Fans were delighted to hear that there could be more 9-1-1 to devour, but the scarce details left many wondering what exactly the latest spinoff would entail.

(Disney/Justin Stephens)

Would one of the original characters from the original series or Lone Star find their way over to the new spinoff so audiences already knew a familiar face? Or would this new series feature a brand-new cast?

Would they keep the same setup as the others or switch things up?

And the most important question of all: what...

Kathryn Hahn is currently having her big moment in Hollywood following her scene-stealing performance as Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, followed by her standalone show Agatha All Along. Therefore, with the Ohioan actress holding onto her headlines all year long, let’s take a look at her early life and discuss a few things that people might not know about this witchy wonder.

Considering how Kathryn Hahn showcased her iconic performance in the MCU spinoff series, it’s for sure that the actress isn’t new to the industry. Actually, she has had ample opportunities to flex her acting prowess, since Hahn has been a top-tier performer for well over a decade. But her acting skills aren’t all that’s interesting about Hahn. This treasure trove of talent has more to her than you might know.

'Rugrats' is reportedly returning with a new live action hybrid movie.The iconic Nickelodeon cartoon - which first ran from 1991 to 2006 - is returning to the big screen in a unique way under the direction of 'Pitch Perfect' filmmaker Jason Moore.As reported by Deadline, the upcoming movie will be a mix between live action and CGI, with the babies themselves being animated.The script has been co-written by 'Saturday Night Live' star Mike Day and head scribe Streeter Seidell.The animated classic follows toddlers Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, and twins Phil and Lil DeVille in their day-to-day adventures, with ordinary life experiences becoming grand adventures in their imagination.Other characters included bully Angelica Pickles (seldom seen without her doll Cynthia), Tommy's baby brother Dil, and their dog Spike, as well as parents Didi and Stu Pickles, Chas Finster, Drew and Charlotte Pickles, and Betty and Howard DeVille.

Great Reptar’s scales! What year is it? Hold onto your diapers and let your imagination run wild because a live-action hybrid of the classic Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats is waddling our way from Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore. It’s the ’90s all over again, and we’re all about it!

Created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain, the Nickelodeon series premiered in 1991 as the second of three series in the Nicktoons lineup alongside Doug and The Ren & Stimpy Show. Rugrats follows a group of toddlers comprised of Tommy Pickles, his best friends Chuckie, the twins Phil and Lil, Susie, and his spoiled 3-year-old cousin Angelica. Using their cunning and the power of imagination, the group often wanders away from their caregivers to engage in grand adventures that offer a poignant life lesson.

The original Rugrats series was essential for ’90s kids, with shows like Rocko’s Modern Life,...

“Rugrats” is returning to the big screen. Paramount is developing a live-action/ CG hybrid feature film that’s based on the beloved ’90s animated children’s TV show.

Tommy Pickles and his pals Chuckie Finster and Phil and Lil DeVille will be animated in the movie, which is set in the real world à la “Sonic the Hedgehog.” It’s unclear who from the original series — the foursome is orbited by bully Angelica Pickles, Tommy’s baby brother Dil Pickles, dog Spike, as well as their parents Didi and Stu Pickles, Chas Finster, Drew and Charlotte Pickles and Betty and Howard DeVille — will appear in the upcoming film.

Jason Moore, whose credits include “Pitch Perfect” and the Tina Fey-Amy Poeheler comedy “Sisters,” is directing the film. “Saturday Night Live” actor Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidell penned the script. Karen Rosenfelt is producing, along with “Rugrats” co-creators Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó.

Exclusive: Everyone’s favorite adventurous toddlers are getting the big-screen treatment unlike any film or show in the franchise before, with sources telling Deadline that Rugrats, the classic Nickelodeon cartoon from the 1990s, is getting a live-action/CGI feature adaptation with Jason Moore on board to direct. Saturday Night Live star Mikey Day co-wrote the script with Streeter Seidell.

Created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain, the Nickelodeon series premiered in 1991 and became one of the network’s most popular series. It followed a group of toddlers — Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil — and their day-to-day lives, usually involving life experiences that become much greater adventures for the foursome.

The show would get rebooted in 1996 following three seasons and would go on to last through the 2000s. Its popularity led to three animated movies and a number of accolades, and has gained new life as a new generation discovers old episodes on streaming.

Shaun Weiss played Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks, but it’s been a long time since he’s laced up his skates and hit the ice. In fact, it’s been nearly three decades, with the last time being during the production of the third Mighty Ducks movie. Given the actor’s health and addiction struggles, it’s heartwarming to see him having some fun.

“Last time I skated was the final day of filming D3. It’s like riding a bike,” Weiss said. “With bones that have aged 30 years. Such a blast working on promos for FunkAway. Thanks for giving me a reason to lace up.“

Although Weiss continued to work after the Mighty Ducks movies, his career didn’t take off the way he hoped. He found himself getting in trouble with the law and struggling with methamphetamine addiction.

Peacock is developing a limited series about Thomas Randolph called “The Thing About Tommy,” sources tell Variety.

In April, Randolph was sentenced to at least sixty years in prison for the murder of his wife and the man he hired to kill her. This was not his first conviction or his first deceased wife, however; Randolph is also known as Black Widower for having been married six times, with four of his wives ending up dead, though he maintains his innocence.

The true crime series will be written by Bruce Marshall Romans, who has previously written and produced on “Shantaram” on Apple TV+, “Deputy” on Fox and “Messiah” and “Marvel’s The Punisher” on Netflix.

Romans serves as executive producer alongside Jason Blum, Chris Dickie and Jeremy Gold for Blumhouse and Liz Cole for NBC News Studios. Universal Content Productions is the studio.

Whether it’s because of the character’s bat-inspired get-up or his eerie rogue’s gallery comprised of killer clowns and mutant madmen, it’s only natural that horror fans tend to gravitate towards the Caped Crusader when it comes to choosing a favorite super-hero.

This genre influence extends to big-screen adaptations as well, with even Christopher Nolan’s hyper-realistic re-imagining of Batman featuring its fair share of horrific moments (especially in the first entry of the Dark Knight trilogy). However, I’d argue that one of the darkest and most entertaining Batman adaptations isn’t even in live action. Naturally, I’m referring to 2021’s two-part animated epic, Batman: The Long Halloween – a surprisingly gloomy super-hero story that I think will especially appeal to horror fans.

Despite their polarizing big screen adaptations, DC has quite the impressive track record when it comes to animated films based on their characters.

When Megan Fox Made A Bizarre Confession About Her Transformers Wardrobe! (Photo Credit – Koimoi)

Megan Fox rose to unprecedented fame with her role in Transformers. She played the famous Mikaela Banes in the 2007 film and its sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen . While many would remember her hot scenes, the actress once grossed us out with a ‘smelly’ confession about her wardrobe on sets. Scroll below for all the details!

In Transformers, Megan played the love interest of Shia Labeouf‘s character Sam Witwicky. It is considered her “breakthrough” role, and it would be safe to say that she has attracted many footfalls to the big screens. However, despite shooting for the third installment, she was thrown out of the franchise because of her controversial remarks comparing director Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler.

Glen Powell is having a moment. Propelled by the box office success of "Anyone But You," and its subsequent streaming domination, the most handsome man you've ever seen is slowly taking over Hollywood. His Richard Linklater-directed Netflix film "Hitman" quickly conquered the streamer's charts when it debuted in June, and Powell will soon guide us all into the eye of the suck zone with the upcoming blockbuster legacy sequel "Twisters." Soon after, Powell will face what might be his biggest test yet in Edgar Wright's upcoming adaptation of "The Running Man." But considering the man's resilience — his first film role was in the more-than 20-year-old "Spy Kids 3" — he should be up to the challenge.

It hasn't been an easy road from "Spy Kids" to leading man, however. Take "Misconduct" for instance. You've likely never heard of this 2016 legal thriller, which is probably for the best considering the...
