Director Zack Snyder has revealed additional details regarding his next Netflix sci-fi film Rebel Moon. The film was first announced in July this year and reportedly stems from a Star Wars pitch the director developed a decade ago.

With season three of Atlanta slated to release in 2022, Donald Glover unveiled a website containing a teaser for the show’s upcoming season. The visual clocked in at almost one minute and begins with scenic shots as Sun Ra’s “It’s After The End of the World” plays in the background. Eventually, David Tyree Henry’s Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles is shown sitting at a table while two people behind him are facing the wall.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, comedic actor Will Ferrell divulged that he had turned down a $29 million USD offer to make an Elf sequel. Ferrell recalls the moment he refused the multi-million dollar deal to play Buddy, the man who was raised by Santa’s elves, just because the script was bad. He shared, “I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would’ve been, like, ‘Oh no, it’s not good. I just couldn’t turn down that much money.’ And I thought, ‘Can I actually say those words?’ I don’t think I can, so I guess I can’t do the movie.’” At the time of its release in 2003, Elf was a raving success, grossing $220 million USD against a $33 million USD budget, later becoming one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time. However, the film did r...
