According to reports, Jonathan Majors is now being eyed to play Dennis Rodman in 48 Hours in Vegas. Currently in the works at Lionsgate, the studio secured the rights from the NBA icon more than a year ago. 48 Hours in Vegas focuses on Dennis Rodman’s infamous trip to Las Vegas with a “skittish assistant GM” for the Chicago Bulls during the 1998 NBA Finals. Despite his two-day trip to Sin City, Rodman was able to help the Bulls led by Michael Jordan secure their third NBA Championship in a row. “There’s only one Dennis Rodman,” said Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group President, Nathan Kahane. “In 1998, there was nobody on Earth who’d be more fun – or maybe more dangerous – to party with. And yet that’s not even half of who he is. This movie takes you on an unforgettable ride with the myth, t...

Marvel‘s formerly forthcoming Disney+ series Armor Wars is now being redeveloped as a feature film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

A plethora of enticing films are set to hit the silver screens before 2022 rolls its credits, one being Bones and All which stars Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell. The movie — which was directed by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino — first premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, but it’s slated to make its public debut this November. Romance and horror collide in this stomach-churning motion picture. The plot takes us through the story of Lee, played by Timothée Chalamet and Maren, played by Taylor Russell, both of which are hungry for love and humans as they find out they each identify as cannibals. It’s equally horrific and heartfelt, and the trailer above — backdropped by the eerie track “You Want It Darker” by Leonard Cohen — shows snippets of their lustful relationship, the...

Peacock has released the trailer for its upcoming documentary series I Love You, You Hate Me, which focuses on the dark and vile side of the beloved children’s show Barney & Friends. Set to release on October 12, the two-part docuseries will hear the first-hand accounts of the notable people involved in Barney & Friends including the likes of former Barney voice actors Bob West and David Joyner. Although creator Sheryl Leach initially wanted Barney to become a symbol of “inclusion” and “acceptance,” its meteoric rise was also met with substantial hate and backlash — so much so that West received “violent and explicit” death threats targeting him and and the “dismemberment of my family,” in addition to the various rumors claiming that Barney would hide drugs in his tail. “As [Leach&...

On top of the news that Tim Blake Nelson is returning as The Leader (Samuel Sterns), rumors are now emerging that are indicating that Mark Ruffalo could also be reprising his role as the Hulk in Captain America: New World Order. If Ruffalo does appear in the Anthony Mackie-led Marvel film — where the fourth Captain America will see Sam Wilson sporting the red, white, and blue uniform — this would be a good chance to tie in the 14 years of Hulk history with the original Samuel Sterns facing off against Ruffalo’s take on the Hulk/Bruce Banner. Fans should not get too excited just yet as Ruffalo has allegedly only entered talks in considering the role.
