Twitter & Bobby Brown Agree: ‘The Bodyguard’ Remake Is The Bad Movie Idea Nobody Asked For
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Legato / Getty A lot of people are done with all the remakes. Even the news of Bel-Air, the dramatic remake of the ’90s sitcom favorite, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, has probably been met with just as much scorn as it has anticipation. It’s like every day there’s news of a new movie or TV show that has literally been done before, and often it’s the kind of timeless classic that leaves plenty of detractors expressing the same sentiment: Just leave it alone. Also, some of these remake and reboot ideas are just bad. According to TMZ, Tony-nominated playwright Matthew Lopez is reported to have been tapped to direct a remake of the classic 1992 romance drama, The Bodyguard, which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner and gifted the world with W...

KDrew Breathes New Life Into 2014 Dance Anthem “Let Me Go” With Melodic Dubstep Remix
KDrew has revitalized “Let Me Go,” a 2014 collab with Rico & Miella that has stood the test of time as one of the most influential songs in his venerated discography. The original track epitomized the soaring progressive house sound that dominated the electronic dance music scene in the mid-2010s. And despite its release over eight years ago, Rico & Miella’s stentorian vocals, which explore the painful realization of a turbulent relationship’s expiration date, still hold water. KDrew has now breathed new life into “Let Me Go” with a riveting rendition that should stuff trashcans with tear-soaked tissues. Serenaded by the same melancholic lyrics, he dunks the arrangement into a melodic dubstep batter and cooks up an aching banger that ma...

Melody Joyce Taps EDM Duo Going Deeper for Vibey Remix of “Won’t Give Up”
Dutch singer-songwriter Melody Joyce has tapped Platinum-certified electronic dance music duo Going Deeper for a scintillating remix of her latest single, “Won’t Give Up.” Joyce’s original track is an indie pop stunner, but the Russian duo have flipped it into a heart-pumping dance rendition that could work in both clubs and on the radio. Going Deeper employ future house-inspired synths in the drop here, adding a breezy element to the chorus to compliment the buoyant nature of the lyrics. The power of Joyce’s voice is just as clear as in her original, repurposed in a kinetic new arrangement. Hailing from Kampen and raised in the Canary Islands, Joyce has released over 20 singles to date—including three as a featured artist—and ten music videos. She’...
New ‘Succession’ Season Three Trailer Welcomes Roy Family Civil War
Almost two years following the season two finale of HBO‘s Succession, the Emmy-winning drama series will return on October 17. And ahead of season three’s debut, HBO on Friday dropped off the official full trailer. The visual begins in the aftermath of the jaw-dropping press conference Kendall (Jeremy Strong) gives at the end of season two, showing how family members ultimately pick sides while Kendall tries to take down his father, Logan (Brian Cox), and gain control of Waystar RoyCo. The official logline reads, “Ambushed by his rebellious son Kendall at the end of season two, Logan Roy begins Season three in a perilous position, scrambling to secure familial, political, and financial alliances. Tensions rise as a bitter corporate battle threatens to turn into a family civil war.” The tra...
Netflix Drops ‘Seinfeld’ Trailer Ahead of the Sitcom’s 180-Episode Premiere
Netflix on Friday dropped off the official trailer for NBC‘s top-rated sitcom Seinfeld, which is slated to land on the streamer with a 180-episode premiere on October 1. The two-minute trailer humorously calls Seinfield “this fall’s hottest new show,” though the series’ nine seasons originally aired from July 1989 to May 1998. “We all have that one friend,” the visual reads, before introducing the show’s main characters. “Meet four of them.” Set in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Seinfeld stars comedian Jerry Seinfeld as a fictional version of himself and follows the story of his personal life alongside three of his friends, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards). The series was co-created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfel...
15 Minute Live Performances: Grace Weber
Back in June, Grace Weber gave us a glimpse into what a day in her life is like. When she’s not grabbing coffee, hopping on her Peloton or cuddling with her cats, she was readying her debut. Now, with that album out and readily available to the masses, Weber is ready to showcase those songs for the world to hear. But, if for some reason you aren’t familiar with Weber, you should be. Weber has a Grammy victory to her name, after writing Chance the Rapper’s “All We Got” (featuring Kanye West and the Chicago Children’s Choir) and had a major label deal in the wake of that. But leaving Capitol Records has proven to be fruitful for her. Don’t believe us? Then have a listen to A Beautiful Space. “Making this album, I decided that I would let it take us on a journey, instead of try...
A24 Drops First Trailer for The Humans with Beanie Feldstein & Steven Yeun: Watch
The Humans are about to arrive. Today, A24 unveiled the first official trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play. Watch it below. Based on the 2016 one-act by Stephen Karam, the movie tells the story of the Blake family over a single Thanksgiving Day hosted by youngest daughter Brigid (Beanie Feldstein) and her boyfriend Richard (Steven Yeun) at their rundown apartment in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Also starring Richard Jenkins as father Erik, Jayne Houdyshell as mother Dierdre, Amy Schumer as elder sister Aimee, and June Squibb as grandmother Momo, The Humans made its world premiere last week at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. Directed by Karam, it’s set to hit theaters and Showtime, rather appropriately, on the day before Thanksgiving (November 24t...
Phil Collins Says Genesis Won’t Exist Past 2021
Next week, Genesis will hit the road together for the first time in 14 years. While the name of the “The Last Domino? Tour,” suggests the possibility for more shows beyond 2021, Phil Collins has now confirmed that once the band wraps up their North American leg in mid-December, that’ll be it. In the latest issue of Mojo, Collins advised fans that this will be their final chance to see Genesis in concert. “This English and American tour, that will be enough for me,” he said adamantly. When the interviewer asked if that meant the question mark would be removed from the tour title and the shows would end before 2022, Collins replied, “Yes. The question mark was Tony Banks’ idea.” By the sound of it, the rest of the band could be persuaded to go either way. “I think it depends a little bi...
