Sam Hargrave (Extraction franchise) is directing Matchbox from a script by David Coggeshall (The Family Plan) and Jonathan Tropper (upcoming Your Friends and Neighbors). Producers include Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, and Robbie Brenner for Mattel Films, along with Jules Daly.

Hollywood Squares fans are slamming the game show reboot as an “epic fail.” The show premiered on Thursday, January 16th, a week later than anticipated. Unfortunately, those who had high expectations for the revival were less than thrilled with the outcome. Keep reading for more details on what they had to say.

Hollywood Squares Reboot Slammed As ‘Epic Fail’

Rebooted game shows can be hit or miss. Some do not even get a reboot but rather the torch gets passed. Such was the case with Drew Carey on The Price is Right who took over when Bob Barker retired. Let’s Make a Deal has been in the same boat and faced revival status but viewers have appreciated what Wayne Brady has brought to the table. Then, there are true rebooted game shows such as Press Your Luck. It was a hit in the eighties but Elizabeth Banks brought it...

Cameron Diaz is possibly looking for another good time with The Mask.

The actress, who just made her onscreen return in Netflix’s Back in Action following a 10-year hiatus, recently told Access Hollywood that she would be open to reprising her role in a sequel to 1994’s The Mask, starring Jim Carrey.

“If Jim’s on board, I mean, I’ve been riding those coattails from day one,” she said of a potential sequel.

Diaz played Tina Carlyle in The Mask, which followed bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Carrey), who transforms into a manic superhero, called The Mask, when he wears a mysterious green mask. The film was directed by Chuck Russell.

Last month, Carrey also shared that he would be down to put on the iconic green mask once again for a sequel.

“Oh gosh, you know, it has to be the right idea,” he told Comicbook.com at the time.

The best Elizabeth Banks movies and TV shows include a variety of comedies and a few horror and action movies that show her range as a comedy star. Banks got her start in high school when she tried out for a school play and found her calling. After college, she moved on to study theater at the American Conservatory Theater and then turned down her first offered role (the soap opera Santa Barbara). Instead, she got her start in indie films and then worked steadily in smaller movies for a few years.

In 2005, she finally found her breakout role in the comedy movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin. That led to mostly supporting roles over the years before she finally decided to move into directing her own movies. In 2013, she directed the critical failure Movie 43 before she found more success by directing the sequel to Pitch Perfect after appearing as an actor in the first movie.

Amanda Holden, known for her daring figure-hugging dresses, braved the cold Blackpool weather in a flirty pink ensemble before taping a Britain’s Got Talent episode at the Winter Gardens.

Other judges, including Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, were all wrapped in heavy coats for the Saturday taping. But Holden defied the freezing temperatures in a low-cut corset dress. At one point, though, she was seen with a pink coat casually draped over her shoulders.

Any business can be anxiety-inducing, especially the ones that have a whole lot of people ready to rip you apart to make their place. Director Austin Peters’ “Skincare” stars Elizabeth Banks as Hope Goldman, a middle-aged woman trying to make a name for herself in the world of Hollywoodland’s ever-growing line of Beauty Products. However, right before the launch of her own line, a competitor arrives just next door, and out of nowhere, someone starts to jeopardize the name she has built for herself after years of straight-faced networking and star-gazed buttering up.

The tone that Peters uses for the movie is a mix of camp and corporate politics and the way fame and name work in a place like Hollywood. It works for a large part of the film, although it could have gone a little darker and more profound.

In the following article, we will examine Skincare,...

James Gunn is best known for his contributions to some of the most popular films and television series. He has a vast career graph, from being a successful screenwriter and producer to becoming a prolific director and the Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DC Studios. He shares the DC position with Peter Safran.

Gunn’s name comes in today’s few notable pop-culture movies like The Suicide Squad, The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, and more. Now, his upcoming directorial project, Superman, is garnering a lot of attention from the audience.

A teaser trailer has been released, and DC fans are too excited to see how the new movie unfolds further along the lines of the superhero stories. Before this Superman movie became the talk of the town, let’s look at Gunn’s filmography. He has directed a...

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man ushered in a new era of superhero cinema, and many cast members of the Marvel Universe film have gone on to lead notable careers. With an MCU timeline that has gone on to combine all of the various universes in films like Spider-Man: No Way Home, there is reason to believe that additional actors and characters from this iteration of the web-slinger's universe may still play a part in Marvel's future. This makes it important to review the cast of Spider-Man, with an eye to where they are now.

The Spider-Verse has only grown larger in the decades since, with live-action and animated films alike cross-pollinating with one another. Audiences have continued to ask where future Tobey Maguire Spider-Man sequels are, and the more time that passes, the more likely it seems that such an event could actually occur. With Sony's villain-centric Spider-Man universe seeming to be ended,...

Launching a successful movie franchise has become a more and more difficult task for studios in today’s day and age, with even the most successful of properties not always leading to sure-fire hits at the box office.

Sony’s Spider-Man franchise is a perfect example of this with Sony now planning on slowing down on its Spider-Man universe after a series of flops at the box office in the form of Morbius, Madame Web, Venom: The Last Dance, and Kraven the Hunter. However, Sony’s failed Spider-Man Universe isn’t the only franchise that has struggled in recent years.

Back in 2017, Lionsgate attempted to bring one of the most successful franchises back to the big screen with Power Rangers. The film had all the makings of a hit including a strong cast led by Stranger Things breakout Dacre Montgomery and an ensemble that included the likes of Elizabeth Banks,...

Yesterday, we shared a rumour claiming that Hasbro is moving forward with a new live-action Power Rangers movie and an animated TV series. The update came after the company's deal with Netflix fell apart, robbing fans of a slate of streaming projects featuring the iconic team of heroes.

X's @Jinsakuu has proven to be a reliable source for Power Rangers scoops and leaks in recent years. Today, he's shared several exciting updates about what's happening with the franchise.

He starts by revealing that the movie has nothing to do with what Jonathan Entwistle (The End of the F***ing World) was planning for Netflix. It appears talks between Hasbro and Paramount Pictures have gained traction, with at least some chatter about a buyout which could see Power Rangers permanently fall under the latter studio's umbrella.

This take on Power Rangers is expected to be released theatrically with all parties well aware...

Mary Katrantzou is one of Greece’s leading fashion designers. After studying briefly in the United States, Katrantzou transferred to London and launched her eponymous brand at London Fashion Week.

The brand has collaborated with household names like Topshop and Longchamp for sell-out collections. Mary Katrantzou has earned the nickname ‘Queen of Prints’ with every collection having its unique print story.

In October 2014, Vogue unveiled the collaboration between Adidas Originals and designer Mary Katrantzou. Drawing inspiration from track shoes worn by medalists in the 1970s and 1980s, Katrantzou reimagined Adidas’s classic designs with bold colors and gold hardware. The collection featured body-hugging zip-up dresses and pullovers made from neoprene and printed mesh, showcasing abstract florals, stripes, and laces.

The versatile John C. Reilly has been announced as the first honoree at the 19th annual Oscar Wilde Awards.

The event, organized by the US-Ireland Alliance, is set for Feb. 27 — in its traditional evening spot three days before the Oscars — at the historic Ebell theater in Los Angeles, its original home.

The casual bash celebrates the work of those from Ireland — and some who are not — who contribute to film, television and music. It also fosters artistic collaborations, from giving young actors and singers a profile in the U.S. to encouraging the shooting of films in Ireland.

The Chicago-born Reilly, 59, speaks often of his family’s strong ties to Ireland. A frequent visitor to the country, he served as the International Guest of Honor at Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities in 2022.

“It might just seem like a goof to just appear at a parade, but to me,...

Cocaine Bear was inspired by a real event that took place in 1985, but the events in the movie are actually nothing like what happened in the real-life story. As a matter of fact, the real story was much more tragic and didn’t involve many of the entertaining moments that the film portrayed. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear tells the story of a drug smuggler parachuting from a plane with bags full of cocaine. However, he knocks himself unconscious and falls to his death. Soon, a bear finds the bags and, after consuming the cocaine, goes on a killing spree.

The movie is mostly played as a horror-comedy, with the bear killing everyone it comes across as the drug dealers associates set out to find the drugs and a park ranger ends up having to save hikers in the area. While it all seems absurd, it is based on a true story,...

Medical sitcom Scrubs is set to be rebooted, creator Bill Lawrence is onboard and the majority of the original cast are in talks to return.

Bill Lawrence is one of the busiest men in television. Shrinking has been a huge hit on Apple TV and has been renewed for a third season. Ted Lasso, which he created with Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, is edging ever closer to a fourth season. His other Apple TV show, Bad Monkey starring Vince Vaughn, has also been renewed for a second series,

On top of all that, according to Deadline a reboot of his hit medical comedy Scrubs, which ran for nine seasons between 2001 and 2010, is in development at ABC in America.

Scrubs followed the misadventures of a group of doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital, beginning with them as interns in season one and following them through their development into fully fledged doctors...

One thing that always bothers Jeopardy! fans is when a question ends up counted wrong when it should have been correct. It seems that Pop Culture Jeopardy! has found a way around that, and it happened very early on in the first season of the new spinoff series on Amazon Prime Video.

Here is what happened in the episode and how the players’ protests paid off with a huge reversal on the show.

Pop Culture Jeopardy! Reverses Call For Paul Rudd Question

The second episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy! already had a controversial moment that has many fans talking. In that episode, a team was answering a question about a movie, and their answer was deemed incorrect. However, during the break, they protested the wrong answer, and when the show returned, they got it reversed.

Colin Jost read the clue to the players and it was about a Paul Rudd movie.

No matter what your career is, it's important to set personal and professional boundaries. Whether that's refusing to do work when you're off the clock or just making a rule that you never work on your birthday (like me), it's important to know where your boundaries lie for peace of mind. When you're an actor, those boundaries can involve some very different elements, including performing in sex scenes. Though sex scenes may be awkward to film (unless you're Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh), they are often a necessary and important part of storytelling because sexuality is a part of the human experience. So, how do actors navigate their own boundaries when it comes to filming sex scenes? For Jada Pinkett Smith, it's always been about one simple rule.

On Lena Waithe's podcast "Legacy Talk" (via People), Pinkett Smith explained that despite the fact that she's acted in several love scenes onscreen over the years,...

Ever since Covid-19 hit the world with the pandemic, people have been more dependent on Ott platforms. Now, several streaming platforms make it easier for you to enjoy your favorite shows while being in a cozy and homely environment. Since A Handmaid’s Tale created a buzz after its release, many people have started subscribing to Hulu. But, between Netflix, Disney, Prime Video, and Apple TV, it seems that viewers miss out a lot on Hulu.

However, there have been a few well-made web series that despite having a great storyline and stunning star cast, went unnoticed.

Scrubs' original run was filled with a wide array of characters, but it wouldn't make sense for all of them to come back, nor would it be possible for everyone to do so. The Scrubs revival has been gaining momentum lately, with showrunner Bill Lawrence and other members of the original cast and crew dropping comments and updates about how far away the sitcom is from returning. Lawrence has gone as far as claiming the Scrubs comeback is "so very close" to happening. So, it only seems like a matter of time until Disney greenlights the project.

In an ideal world, every character would return for Scrubs season 10, but sadly, that isn't realistic. For example, Sam Lloyd sadly passed away in 2020, meaning Ted the Lawyer won't be present. Additionally, Johnny Kastl probably won't be back as Doug, as the former actor is now a lawyer and hasn't performed since 2009. Regardless,...

Exclusive: Jessica Biel is in talks to star alongside John Cena in Matchbox a new, live-action feature film from Apple Original Films, Skydance and Mattel Films that will be directed by Sam Hargrave. The new film is based on a screenplay by David Coggeshall and Jonathan Tropper.

The film will be inspired by Mattel’s iconic real-world die-cast toy vehicle line of the same name. The legendary Matchbox brand was invented in 1953 by automotive enthusiast Jack Odell to solve a challenge for his daughter, who was allowed to take a toy to school only if it was small enough to fit in a matchbox. When his daughter’s school friends too began clamouring for a “matchbox car,” an iconic brand was born. The high standards of authenticity for Matchbox die-cast cars have driven the brand for over 70 years and generations of fans. Today, two Matchbox cars are sold every second somewhere around the world.

Exclusive: Lionsgate has picked up Rager, an adult comedy from Imagine Entertainment, which Jon Kasdan (Solo: A Star Wars Story) will direct from his script written with Emmy nominee Dan Klein.

While plot details are under wraps, we hear the film is in the spirit of The Hangover. Imagine developed the script with Kasdan and Klein and sold it on spec. Producers will include Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Allan Mandelbaum, with Justin Wilkes exec producing.

In addition to co-writing Solo: A Star Wars Story, which Imagine Entertainment principal Ron Howard directed for Disney/Lucasfilm, Kasdan is known for writing and showrunning Disney+’s Willow, co-produced by Imagine. He also wrote and directed the romantic comedy, The First Time, starring Britt Robertson and Dylan O’Brien, as well as Warner Bros’ In the Land of Women, starring Adam Brody, Kristen Stewart, and Meg Ryan.

Bobby Moresco, an Oscar-winning screenwriter, will bring the incredible story of Bugatti’s founder to the big screen in a new biographical film. The project, simply dubbed “Bugatti,” will follow the life of the brilliant automotive pioneer who altered vehicle design in the early twentieth century.

Moresco, who earned an Academy Award for co-writing “Crash,” will collaborate on the screenplay alongside Amanda Moresco and Soraya Azzabi. The film is set to begin filming in late 2025, with locales spanning Italy and France.

Producer Andrea Iervolino expressed enthusiasm for the project, saying, “We aim to explore the life of another visionary in the automotive world, delivering an exciting and faithful narrative that celebrates Italy’s automotive tradition.”

The film will explore Ettore Bugatti’s complex life and focus on his breakthrough contributions to automobile and aircraft engine design. A heartbreaking component of the story is the loss of his son Jean, who...

Lucy Liu is game to listen to ideas for a possible Charlie’s Angels reboot and reprise her role of Alex Munday.

In a new interview, Liu said she was open to revisiting the character she played in the 2000 film directed by McG and in which she co-starred alongside Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz.

“I don’t hear much of anything until it actually happens,” Liu told Entertainment Tonight when asked if she had heard anything about a possible reboot.

Although there are no set plans to reboot the franchise, if there were, Liu said, “I’m never going to say no to that. But I would be surprised to hear anything that gets done or undone. You just never know until it happens.”

Turn a true auteur like Alfonso Cuarn loose on his first major TV project, and its no surprise audiences are eating up his Apple TV+ series Disclaimer. A slow burn of a show combining mystery, psychological thrills, and a complicated narrative, the five-time Oscar-winning director keeps ratcheting up the secrets and lies throughout. Disclaimer's all-star cast includes Cate Blanchett as journalist Catherine Ravenscroft, who learns shes the lead character in a new book that somehow exposes the darkest deed of her past.

As highlighted in the reviews for Disclaimer, the show plays with viewer expectations throughout, mixing truth and perception into a time-hopping story that doesnt reveal all of its cards until its final episode. Disclaimer cleverly dices up how personal biases, murky pasts, and even the modern media landscape shape how people view their own reality. Once audiences have digested all of Disclaimer's seven episodes and its shocking end,...

Three years ago, Julie Bowen, notable for her 11-year-long stint in Modern Family, took the internet by storm after the news about her saving a fellow hiker in Utah broke out.

An LA salon-owner gets involved in an escalating feud with a rival facialist in this blackly comic thriller with a pleasing female focus

Following hot on the stiletto heels of female-led body-horror hit The Substance, comedy thriller Skincare also centres on a female protagonist – in this case facialist Hope Goldman (Elizabeth Banks) – who is dedicated to the pursuit of youthful appearance. This effort is far more grounded in realism than The Substance (it even sports a “based on a true story” tag at the beginning), but there is a similar blackly comic vibe at play, which makes it both fun and full of cringe moments that echo the Demi Moore-Margaret Qualley gorefest. At the very least, Banks proves herself equal to The Substance’s leads when it comes to projecting barely concealed anxiety and desperation under a thickly madeup facade. Her Hope is in some ways a far...

Medical dramas come with their own set of challenges. The professional jargon can bog down their overall dramatic impact. However, if made well, they can make us resonate with their pathos. The same happens with the 2024 New Zealand medical drama “A Mistake.” Based on Carl Shuker’s book of the same name, the film revolves around a fatal mistake that turns the lives of some medical professionals upside down. The film stars Elizabeth Banks in the lead role as medical surgeon Elizabeth Taylor. Besides her, the central cast includes Richard Crouchley, Simon McBurney, and Mickey Sumner.

Steve Carell’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin is often regarded as one of the funniest films of the 2000s and was instrumental in introducing many future stars. Judd Apatow’s directorial debut saw Carell leading a film for the first time and also featured Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Catherine Keener, Romany Malco, Leslie Mann, and Elizabeth Banks.

The film was reportedly based on a sketch that Carell had envisioned while he was performing improv comedy with the Chicago-based troupe The Second City. He mentioned that he pitched the idea as a last-minute ditch attempt after talking about multiple ideas with Apatow. He also said that the film was greenlit in a few weeks.

Variety honored some of the most influential and accomplished women in entertainment at its Power of Women event on Thursday, Oct. 24, in LA. Celebrity guests, including Selma Blair, Amy Poehler, and Elizabeth Banks, went all out with gala-appropriate outfits, some more traditional than others.
