Charli xcx is teaming up with A24 to produce and star in a new movie called “The Moment,” based on her own original idea.

The “Brat” pop star will produce the film as the first project under her new production company, Studio365. Plot details are kept under wraps.

“The Moment” is the feature directorial debut of Scottish photographer and filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, who wrote the screenplay with Bertie Brandes. Charli’s longtime collaborator A. G. Cook, a producer whose fingerprints are all over “Brat,” will compose the score.

David Hinojosa is also producing “The Moment” via his production banner 2Am. Brandon Creed, Mikey Schwartz-Wright and Zach Nutman will serve as executive producers. A24 is handling the global release of the film.

The announcement comes just hours after Charli led the Brit Awards nominations with five nods, for artist of the year, album of the year, song of the year and dance and pop act.

If there's one thing that Dowager Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) likes to do on House of the Dragon, it's sulk about her life choices. But if there's one other thing she likes to do, it's to wear the color green. The show is about a battle for the Iron Throne fought between two rival factions of the Targaryen dynasty. Alicent's faction is literally called the Greens, named after a green dress she once wore so well it set off a war. So of course her closet is full of nothing but green dresses.

Folks thought of this when they saw a picture of pop star Charli Xcx on the set of her new movie 100 Nights of Hero:

Brat summer is giving way to celluloid winter. Maybe it's because she already conquered the music scene or because her Letterboxd was exposed and she decided to lean in; either way, Charli xcx is fully committing to her Hollywood career.

Anne Hathaway and co-star Nicholas Galitzine showed immense chemistry in their 2024 film, The Idea of You. Hathaway played Solène, a divorced mother and art gallery owner, who falls for the lead singer of a popular boy band. The duo’s chemistry worked in favor of the film as it received positive reviews from critics upon release.

While filming the climax, Hathaway fell ill and later shared that she wouldn’t have been able to finish the film without Galitzine’s support. Hathaway also credited director Michael Showalter for coming up with the idea to energize her. She shared that both of them helped her get through the most difficult part of the shoot.

Did Anne Hathaway hate making out with men for chemistry tests? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Yes, think back to her royal spark with Robert Schwartzman in The Princess Diaries or her steamy bond with Jake Gyllenhaal in Love & Other Drugs. But those sizzling connections didn’t come without a price. In a recent interview with V Magazine, Anne Hathaway opened up about the awkward—and borderline “gross”—experience of chemistry reads early in her career.

“Back in the 2000s, it was considered normal to ask an actor to make out with other actors to test for chemistry,” Hathaway revealed. “I was told, ‘We have ten guys coming today, and you’re cast. Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?’” Spoiler: She wasn’t.

Hathaway didn’t mince words about how uncomfortable she felt during those “tests.” At the time, the industry was far less conscious of boundaries,...

It was recently confirmed that Jared Leto will be donning the hood as Skeletor in the new iteration. Other villain roles that have been cast include Sam C. Wilson (House of the Dragon) as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson (Game of Thrones) as Goat Man, and Kojo Attah (In the Grey) as Tri-Klops.

According to MovieWeb, Galitzine...

The long-awaited live-action Masters of the Universe movie is finally hitting theaters next year, and fans of the classic series have a lot to look forward to. Nicholas Galitzine stars as He-Man, with Jared Leto taking on the role of the villainous Skeletor.

Directed by Bumblebee filmmaker Travis Knight, the movie boasts an impressive cast and promises to take a fresh approach to the beloved franchise.

In a recent interview with THR, Galitzine shared insights into how this adaptation compares to the original animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. “Our version is quite different from the original animation,” Galitzine explained.

“The classic show had its own campy charm, which worked perfectly for its time, but there have been several iterations since then, like the Revelation series and the comics.” He emphasized that the script is being treated as their “Bible” and aims to balance nostalgia with a...

Nicholas Galitzine, the actor set to play He-Man in the upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe film, provides insight into the intense physical transformation required for the super-human role. Known for his work in romantic films such as The Idea of You and Red, White, and Royal Blue, Galitzine is preparing to portray the iconic hero. After a prolonged development period, the Masters of the Universe movie is set to release in June 2026 and will also star Alison Brie, Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, and Jared Leto as the franchise's iconic villain Skeletor.

During an interview with W Magazine, Galitzine spoke about his daily Masters of the Universe prep routine. He revealed that while consuming 4,000 calories a day is necessary to fuel his body for hours of physical training, it's not always easy. The actor mentioned the challenge of maintaining such a high-calorie intake while also engaging in demanding workouts. His...

While Nicholas Galitzine has been a leading man for some time, he’s now getting the hero treatment.

The Bottoms actor was tapped in May 2024 as the star of Amazon MGM and Mattel’s forthcoming Masters Of The Universe, which centers on the all-powerful He-Man, or Prince Adam of Eternia. The character was first introduced to the world via a line of popular action figures in the ’80s, battling the evil Skeletor.

In an interview with W Magazine, The Idea of You star previewed the intense preparation required to play such a commanding figure.

“No pressure, I just have to embody the strongest man in the universe,” he joked.

He continued, detailing the prep: “There’s been a lot of eating and weightlifting, a lot of stunts. I’m eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work I’m doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day,...

After what felt like endless delays and false starts, we're finally going to get a live-action Masters of the Universe movie in theaters next year. Nicholas Galitzine is playing He-Man and Suicide Squad and Morbius star Jared Leto will transform into the evil Skeletor.

The Hollywood Reporter (via SFFGazette.com) recently caught up with Galitzine and asked if he's been watching the classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon and, if so, how that compares to the upcoming movie.

"I have, yeah. Look, what I will say is our version is quite different from the original animation, which we all agree was camp within its own right and worked so well for the time," the actor explained. "But there’s been a couple of iterations, obviously since there was the Revelation version of Master of the Universe, and the comics themselves."

"And we’re very much treating our script as as Bible,...

Masters of the Universe lead star Nicholas Galitzine compares the upcoming movie to past takes on the franchise. The 2026 movie is based on the classic Mattel toy line that depicts the battles between Eternia's hero, He-Man (Galitzine) and Skeletor (Jared Leto). The upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe movie will feature Camilla Mendes, Leto, and Aliison Brie alongside Galitzine.

Though production has yet to kick off on Masters of the Universe, Galitzine teased to The Hollywood Reporter how the adaptation will approach the franchise's source material. While the star acknowledged that the earlier and most influential versions had a distinct and memorable campiness, the upcoming movie will have its own tone. The actor highlighted how several more recent iterations of the character had their own approach to hint at how the movie would treat the source material:

Look, what I will say is our version is quite different from the original animation,...

Nicholas Galitzine opened up about getting in superhuman shape to play He-Man in his new movie Masters of the Universe.

The 30-year-old actor was cast in Amazon MGM’s live-action movie, which will be directed by Travis Knight.

“I’ve been lifting all the heavy things in the world to get into He-Man shape,” Nicholas told Vogue in an interview, acknowledging that he’s been keeping a low profile since September.

Just a few weeks ago, we learned that another popular actor had joined Nicholas in Masters of the Universe and would be playing an iconic villain.

Nicholas Galitzine is rapidly becoming one of the most talked about new talents in the acting world and his best movies and television shows demonstrate his wide range of talent. Galatzine has only been acting professionally since 2014, and in that time he has amassed a small roster of projects, but they are quality projects. He is a star on the rise, tapped to star as the titular He-Man in the live-action reboot of He-Man: Masters of the Universe.

Because Galatzine does not yet have a huge body of work behind him, his best movies and TV shows provide glimpses of the star he can become in the future. They also offer a great look at his range of talent as he has appeared in romantic comedies, dramas, musicals, and satires. Galatzine has done a terrific job at landing roles that allow casting directors and audiences to see just what he...

Red One has broken a streaming record that may prove that Dwayne Johnson's career is undergoing a major shift. Johnson is a star who is very familiar with shifts in his career, as he originally became famous as a WWE wrestler under the moniker "The Rock." After taking on a role as the antagonist in the 2001 adventure sequel The Mummy Returns, he began to transition toward acting, and he has become a major movie star with many blockbuster movies and franchises under his belt, including the new Jumanji movies, the Fast Saga, the Moana franchise, Rampage, and more.

However, his new Christmas action-comedy underperformed both critically and commercially. On Rotten Tomatoes, it earned a dismal 30% score from critics, which ties it with 2005's Be Cool as the eighth worst-rated Dwayne Johnson movie ever. Although its audience score on the platform is a Verified Hot 90%, this has not translated to success in theaters.

There have been several different interpretations of the Masters of the Universe in various media since the original animated series aired in the '80s, but it sounds like the upcoming live-action reboot from Amazon MGM and Mattel is going to make a pretty major change to the established lore surrounding Prince Adam/He-Man.

According to scooper Daniel Richtman, the movie will introduce Adam as a regular guy in "the real world," working "a boring office job." Apparently, "the whole He-Man and Masters of the Universe story are tales he heard as a little kid."

If accurate, this would suggest that the following rumored synopsis was indeed on the level.

“10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across...

Amazon MGM is putting together a new movie based on Masters of the Universe, about the oiled-up fantasy hero He-Man and his battle against the skull-faced Skeletor. The series began as a collection of action figures released in the early 1980s, continued with an animated series released soon after, and landed in theaters with a live-action movie in 1987, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and Frank Langella as Skeletor. The new Masters of the Universe movie will star Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man. Meanwhile, Oscar winner Jared Leto will play Skeletor.

Between playing the Joker in movies like Suicide Squad and playing the title character in Morbius, Leto has made a habit in recent years of playing freaky villains and anti-heroes, so this more or less fits that pattern. Variety also revealed who will be playing some of Skeletor's henchmen: Kojo Attah is Tri-Klops, Sam C. Wilson is Trap Jaw, and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is Goat Man.

The comedy genre has been under attack for quite some time now as the studios have stopped making mid-budget comedy movies and refocused all their attention on big-budget blockbusters. Amidst all this, a niche sub-genre in comedy, like raunchy comedy films, has been forgotten. If it’s not a classic like American Pie or Road Trip, people don’t even remember most of the fantastic raunchy comedies that came out. So, we compiled a list of the best underrated raunchy comedies you might have missed out on.

The actor, who won an Oscar for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club, is known for his transformative performances whether it's The Joker, a Living Vampire, or even Paolo Gucci. As Skeletor, Leto will be squaring off with Nicholas Galitzine's He-Man.

Jared Leto adds another creepy character to his portfolio as he is tapped to play Skeletor in the live-action Masters of the Universe film. Leto will now star opposite Nicholas Galitzine’s He-Man. However, Leto’s reputation in such characters hasn’t been great. With the mixed reception to his role as Joker in the Dceu, fans don’t expect him to outmatch Frank Langella’s performance in the 1987 version of the film.

The live-action Masters of the Universe had already faced criticism for the casting of Galitzine and Camila Mendes as He-Man and Teela.

Fans of the "Masters of the Universe" franchise might finally be getting an updated live-action adaptation of the Mattel toy line-turned-cartoon-series, the first since Gary Goddard's rather interesting 1987 attempt. Though the film has been in and out of development for years, starting at Netflix before being dropped and then picked up by Amazon, it now seems on track for a 2026 release with a red-hot rising star at its center. Helmed by "Bumblebee" director Travis Knight with a script by "ParaNorman" scribe Chris Butler, "Masters of the Universe" will star "The Idea of You," "Bottoms," and "Red, White & Royal Blue" lead Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, better known as the heroic He-Man.

This casting news has been around for a little bit and seems kind of odd, as the handsome Brit is generally a little on the lean side and Prince Adam is absolutely ripped. However, a photo posted to...

What films cracked you up in 2024? Or, more specifically, what moments in movies made you laugh the hardest? Sometimes, a film can be generally meh but contains a scene or a performance so funny that you can forgive its shortcomings. Likewise, a serious drama might include something so darkly hilarious that’s shockingly effective precisely because it’s completely unexpected. And, of course, there are the unfortunate unintentional laughs that can happen when a woefully inept movie falls flat on its face. Hey, we’ll take our laughs however we can.

Below, I’ve counted down the 34 funniest moments in movies this year. Maybe the films themselves weren’t amazing — although some of them certainly were — but they had something so clever or amusing that I never forgot it. Also, I left room for a few instances in which internet users enhanced a movie’s comedic impact by introducing a...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and the latest picture Nicholas Galitzine has shared on his Instagram is about to give all those naysayers who questioned his casting as He-Man in Mattel’s Masters of the Universe movie.

After taking a social media break the last few months, Galitzine returned on Instagram on Dec. 18 with a holiday shot posing by his Christmas tree but it wasn’t his holiday decorations that left fans speechless. In the new photo, Galitzine subtly showed off his insane transformation in preparation for filming the Amazon MGM original film which is slated to release on June 5, 2026.

While Galitzine has always been in incredible shape, one glance at the photo and it’s clear to see that Galitzine has been putting in the work to bulk up in order to play Mattel’s towering, muscular hero. Even hidden behind his casual sweatshirt, you...

Given the sheer volume of new shows released each month, it's unfortunately natural for some shows to slip through the cracks completely or fade away after having a minor moment. After one show pops, there's another one ready to take its place the next month — or even week!

Sometimes the circle of television life isn't kind to shows that should be much more popular and/or successful, and they remain underrated until they either build a cult following, fizzle out, or get canceled far too soon. The past year wasn't without its long list of shows that deserved more love.

It's no secret that 2024 was a huge year for television, on both the small screen and streaming. There were huge hits like Baby Reindeer, Presumed Innocent, Industry, Shōgun, House of the Dragon, High Potential, The Penguin, and so many shows that had everyone watching and talking.

But there were even...

Nicholas Galitzine is clearly preparing for his big role as He-man, because he looks super buff already!

The 30-year-old The Idea of You actor uploaded a photo of himself to his Instagram Story on Wednesday (December 18), standing next to a Christmas tree looking like he’s put on a considerable amount of muscle for the upcoming role.

If you didn’t know, Nicholas was cast in Amazon MGM’s live-action Masters of the Universe, directed by Travis Knight.

Masters centers on “Price Adam of Eternia who, thanks to his Power Sword, turns into He-Man and is embued with superhuman strength and abilities, which he uses to defend his native planet and Castle Grayskull,” via THR.

It’s set for worldwide theatrical release on June 5, 2026.

Mattel’s Masters of the Universe brand was first introduced in 1982 in the form of action figures. In 1983, the beloved animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe arrived.

Engines are being warmed up on “One,” the drama series set in the world of Formula One racing that Felicity Jones is attached to both star in and executive produce.

Variety understands that the series is in development with Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video, although it has not been officially ordered yet.

“One” — which marks Formula 1’s first officially sanctioned scripted series — will focus on a failing family-owned racing team, led by Jones’ character, as it contends with fierce personalities, ever-changing rivals and multi-million-dollar stakes.

The series is produced by Bedrock Entertainment, launched in 2020 as a joint venture between “Band of Brothers” producer Tony To, “True Detective” executive producer Dan Sackheim and ITV Studios America. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby — who were Oscar nominated for “Children of Men” — will write and executive produce.

To will executive produce “One” for Bedrock, alongside Sackheim and ITV Studios America’s president and managing director Philippe Maigret.

Exclusive: Veteran writer-producers John Hoberg and Kat Likkel (Elemental) have signed to write Alloy Entertainment’s animated feature Christmas Forever, based on Penguin/Random House children’s book of the same name by Elysa Koplovitz Dutton.

A first-time author, Koplovitz Dutton is the executive vice president of film at Alloy Entertainment. She’ll produce alongside Alloy’s president and chief creative officer, Leslie Morgenstein, in the company’s first foray into animation.

Christmas Forever takes place on Christmas Eve, watching as a group of ornaments, tired of being stuck in storage all year, devise an escape plan to the North Pole where it will be Christmas forever.

Writing partners Hoberg and Likkel were two of the three scribes on Disney/Pixar’s Elemental, starring Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie, which last year earned nearly $500 million at the worldwide box office, and collected a slew of honors including Oscar, BAFTA and...

Since its inception in the 1980s, the Masters of the Universe heroes have been serving up some compelling action, but some are far more powerful than others. With a an action cartoon series, movie specials, and a sister show, this mythical world has spawned some powerful beings.

She-Ra bravely took on Hordak, and they both joined forces to defeat their enemies together.

The series came back a few times, with a reboot in 2002 and another in 2021, as well as more comic book and video game outings.

Other notable inclusions are Barry Keoghan (‘Saltburn,’ "Masters of the Air"), Nicola Coughlan (“Bridgerton”), Eve Hewson (“The Perfect Couple”), Dafne Keen ('Deadpool & Wolverine'), and Rebecca Ferguson (‘Dune: Part Two’), all of whom delivered performances that left a lasting impression on viewers.

While established stars continue to dominate, the Breakout Stars list shines a spotlight on emerging talent. This group of stars charted on the IMDb annual Top 100 lists for the first time in 2024, and consistently ranked high on the IMDbPro STARmeter chart throughout the year. Joining Powell on the list, actors like Nicola Coughlan, Emma Corrin (‘Deadpool & Wolverine’), Cailee Spaeny (‘Alien: Romulus’), and Nava Mau (“Baby Reindeer”) have captured the attention of audiences, suggesting a bright future for these rising stars.

Idris Elba might be making the jump from the MCU to Eternia, leaving Heimdall behind to play another highly-skilled warrior in service of a sprawling mythical kingdom.

The Wrap is reporting that Elba is in talks to play Prince Adam's loyal master of weapons, Duncan, aka Man-At-Arms in MGM and Mattel's live-action Masters of the Universe movie.

If he signs on, Elba will join Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, Riverdale alum Camila Mendes as his right-hand woman and (possible) love-interest, Teela, and Alison Brie as Skeletor's second-in-command, Evil-Lyn.

As for Skeletor himself, Jared Leto is said to be on the studio's radar to play He-Man's nemesis, but this has yet to be confirmed. Previous rumors have claimed that Sacha Baron Cohen was in contention to play the iconic baddie.

After numerous false starts, Netflix was all set to develop a feature take on the...

Idris Elba has an interesting filmography. He tends to go back and forth between interesting, challenging roles and blockbusters. He’s the type of actor who will star in George Miller’s “Three Thousand Years of Longing” and then voice Knuckles in a ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ film. It’s almost a “one for them, one for me” mentality. So, it actually makes sense that he’s going to star in “Masters Of The Universe.”
