Disney is missing out on “Cloudhopper”, https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/12/06/disney-is-missing-out-on-cloudhopper/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/12/06/disney-is-missing-out-on-cloudhopper/#respond Wed, 06 Dec 2023 17:23:22 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/?p=1338 I like to know who it in charge of acquisitions for Disney channel, there is a script out there which is owned by Bridgegate Films called “Cloudhopper”, this script is one of the best scripts I have read in a long long time. This film has all the elements of success for a franchise film. Kids inventing, kids playing outdoors instead of playing with tablet indoors all day long, it has element of love, loss and achievement of super success that kids can all dream about and want to become a fighter in life and set goals and achieve success in life.

This is a must read for anyone that has a kid and is a kid inside. If you like goonies, ET Indiana jones series, this is a kids version of that. A must made film. Currently we understand that Bridgegate Films is raising funds to produce the film, they even have a director attached.

Three major celebrities are attached and they are casting for leading child actors to play the 9 year old Mica and 11 year old Jules.

Anyone that has read the script wants to be attached. Some say Tom Hanks has read the script and loves it. Look for the film on IMDB and find out who’s is attached in 2024. We at press Hollywood love it.

Maude Apatow Says She Suffered Concussion in ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Onstage Accident https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/04/05/maude-apatow-says-she-suffered-concussion-in-little-shop-of-horrors-onstage-accident/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/04/05/maude-apatow-says-she-suffered-concussion-in-little-shop-of-horrors-onstage-accident/#respond Wed, 05 Apr 2023 19:37:08 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/?p=1180 Maude Apatow is revealing details about an onstage accident that she suffered earlier this year during her current run in the Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors.

The Euphoria actress recently visited NBC’s Late Night, where she spoke with host Seth Meyers about playing Audrey in the theatrical production. After Meyers asked if she has had to deal with nerves, Apatow said that she sustained a concussion when she accidentally ran into an onstage wall in the middle of a performance.

“I’m always really kind of in a panic the entire time, and I was running offstage, and I guess my eyes were kind of adjusting to the light, and I just ran full speed into the wall,” Apatow said. She explained that she was able to finish performing in the show that evening, although it wasn’t easy: “I swear I was almost crying the rest of the show. I was like, ‘OK, but get through it, get through it, get through it!’ And then yeah, after the show, I think the adrenaline wore off, and I was like, ‘I need to go to the hospital.’ But I’m all good now.”

The actress went on to say that she then had to announce on her Instagram account that the incident would cause her to miss a performance. She recalled that fans were unhappy about this until she clarified in a subsequent post that the absence was due to an injury.

It was announced earlier this year that Apatow would be replacing Tony Award winner Lena Hall as Audrey in Michael Mayer’s Little Shop of Horrors revival at New York City’s Westside Theatre. Apatow’s run, which marks her NYC stage debut, began Feb. 7 and continues through April 30.

The actress also told Meyers that her dad, filmmaker Judd Apatow, had already attended nine performances of her production and intends to see it yet again. “Everyone in the cast is like, ‘Your dad’s here again,’” she recalled. “He sits in the same spot.”

‘Jeanne du Barry,’ Starring Johnny Depp, to Open Cannes Film Festival https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/04/05/jeanne-du-barry-starring-johnny-depp-to-open-cannes-film-festival/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/04/05/jeanne-du-barry-starring-johnny-depp-to-open-cannes-film-festival/#respond Wed, 05 Apr 2023 18:54:29 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/jeanne-du-barry-starring-johnny-depp-to-open-cannes-film-festival/ n what will no doubt provoke some considerable noise, Johnny Depp’s latest film — Jeanne du Barry — is set to open the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

The film — directed by Maïwenn — will have its world premiere in the Palais on May 16.

In Jeanne du Barry, Maïwenn plays herself as the title character alongside Depp, Benjamin Lavernhe, Melvil Poupaud, Pierre Richard, Pascal Greggory and India Hair. Recounting the life, rise and fall of the King Louis XV‘s favorite, the film will be released in French cinemas simultaneously as its Cannes bow.

The film follows Jeanne Vaubernier, a young working-class woman hungry for culture and pleasure who uses her intelligence and allure to climb the rungs of the social ladder one by one. She becomes the favorite of King Louis XV (Depp) who, unaware of her status as courtesan, regains through her his appetite for life. They fall madly in love. Against all propriety and etiquette, Jeanne moves to Versailles, where her arrival scandalizes the court.

The decision to give Depp the Cannes opening night slot will likely raise a number of eyebrows, his red carpet appearance on the Croisette coming less than a year after the end of his hugely contentious and very public legal dispute with Amber Heard.

In what could well spark additional debate, the film also comes with an historic first, being the first Cannes opener to be funded by Saudi Arabia, having landed postproduction financing from the Red Sea Film Festival.

The film is being produced by Why Not Production Company’s Pascal Caucheteux and Grégoire Sorlat, Johnny Depp’s production company IN.2, La Petite Reine and France Télévisions. The Red Sea Film Festival serve as executive producers, with Goodfellas (formerly Wild Bunch International) handling world sales.

‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ Showrunners on Depicting Women in the ’70s, the Final Concert and That Hopeful Ending https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/31/daisy-jones-the-six-showrunners-on-depicting-women-in-the-70s-the-final-concert-and-that-hopeful-ending/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/31/daisy-jones-the-six-showrunners-on-depicting-women-in-the-70s-the-final-concert-and-that-hopeful-ending/#respond Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:45:11 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/?p=853 Scott Neustadter and Will Graham also talk to The Hollywood Reporter about chronicling Billy and Daisy’s relationship, Camila’s secret romance and expanding Simone’s story in the Amazon adaptation.

Life is already messy without sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll making things more complicated.

Just ask the showrunners of Daisy Jones & The Six Scott Neustadter and Will Graham, who address that and more in their Amazon series adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel of the same name.

Throughout the 10-episode Prime Video series, viewers watch the renowned fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six find their way to success and instant fame in the 1970s. But following their rise into a musical empire, it all ultimately crumbles and implodes amid a series of internal dramas. Led by Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) and Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), the self-proclaimed tight-knit family is confronted with varied hurdles, including substance abuse, unrequited and (dangerously) requited feelings, alongside the jealousy and egos that come with navigating the treacherous waters of fame and success.

Brett Goldstein Details ‘Ted Lasso’ Cast White House Visit https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/31/brett-goldstein-details-ted-lasso-cast-white-house-visit/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/31/brett-goldstein-details-ted-lasso-cast-white-house-visit/#respond Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:41:32 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/?p=850 “I’ve never been more aware of my hands than I was all day. Like what do you do with your hands at the White House? I didn’t know how to stand,” Goldstein recalled.

When the Ted Lasso cast got invited to visit the White House, Brett Goldstein admitted that despite it being a “privilege” to be there, there was one ongoing issue he had to deal with: He didn’t know what to do with his hands.

“It was amazing and it was an honor and it was a privilege. But I’ve never been more aware of my hands than I was all day,” Goldstein recalled while visiting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday.

He added, “Like what do you do with your hands at the White House? I didn’t know how to stand. I didn’t know how to sit. I was like what is a person? I lost my mind. It’s so serious. It’s the fucking the White House. I’m really trying not to swear, desperately trying not to make jokes. Like I’ve never worked hard in my life.”

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ Filmmakers Talk the ‘Freaks and Geeks’ Reunion and That A-List Cameo https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/31/dungeons-dragons-honor-among-thieves-filmmakers-talk-the-freaks-and-geeks-reunion-and-that-a-list-cameo/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/31/dungeons-dragons-honor-among-thieves-filmmakers-talk-the-freaks-and-geeks-reunion-and-that-a-list-cameo/#respond Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:28:47 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/?p=844

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, known for genre-defying projects such as ‘Game Night,’ step into the fantasy realm.

If 2023 is any indication, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves filmmakers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley have leveled up.

The writing-and-directing duo’s fantasy adventure film, which is based on the beloved tabletop role-playing game, has been met with rave reviews from critics and audiences, and most impressively, they’ve managed to pull off the impossible by satisfying both D&D die-hards and newcomers to the world. Furthermore, Goldstein and Daley even have a story credit on one of the buzziest superhero films of all time, The Flash, which finally releases in June after first being announced in 2014. (The pair left the project as writer-directors in 2019 due to creative differences.)

Daley is most known for his role as the D&D-playing Sam Weir on the short-lived cult classic, Freaks and Geeks, and when Paramount’s marketing department pitched a D&D-related reunion among Daley’s character, Samm Levine’s Neal Schweiber and Martin Starr’s Bill Haverchuck, Daley couldn’t resist the full-circle moment that promoted his new movie in the process.

“I jumped at the chance, because it is truly bizarre and amazing that there is this association with me as Sam Weir playing Dungeons & Dragons 23 years ago and now co-directing and co-writing this film,” Daley tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Daley’s days as a full-time TV actor are still paying dividends, as he first met his future creative partner Goldstein on the set of The Geena Davis Show (2000-01), which the latter wrote for at the time. And five years later on Kitchen Confidential (2005-06), Daley forged a relationship with a now-acclaimed actor and director who would later provide a rather delightful and unexpected cameo in Dungeons & Dragons, as Holga’s (Michelle Rodriguez) ex-lover, Marlamin. The surprise appearance was added during the later stages of post-production. (Skip the following quote if you’ve yet to see the film.)

“I co-starred with Bradley [Cooper] on the show Kitchen Confidential when I was 19 years old, and we appreciated each other’s careers from afar after that experience,” Daley shares. “So I don’t remember who it was that pitched Bradley, but the second I heard the name, I thought, ‘Oh, let’s go for it.’ So we sent him a copy of the unfinished film and he loved it. So he was ready to jump on board, and it was such an awesome day.”

Below, during a recent conversation with THR, Goldstein also discusses the film’s test screenings that ultimately led to additional photography.

John, the studio just released a brilliant promo spot for Dungeons & Dragons in the form of a Freaks and Geeks reunion with Samm Levine and Martin Starr. How did this come together?

John Francis Daley: Well, I would like to take the credit for it, but it was actually an idea from a brilliant person in our marketing department at Paramount. She was friends with Martin [Starr] and thought it would be a fun mini-reunion for the Geeks. So I jumped at the chance, because it is truly bizarre and amazing that there is this association with me as Sam Weir playing Dungeons & Dragons 23 years ago and now co-directing and co-writing this film.

Was this the same marketing team that put creepy smiling people at baseball games to promote Smile?

Daley: I think it probably was the same people, and I still think that was one of the most genius marketing schemes to this day.

Did Freaks and Geeks kick-start your affinity for D&D?

Daley: It did. It definitely introduced me to the mechanics of the game and what made it so special. But admittedly, it wasn’t until I was an adult that I picked it back up. This was a few years before we started on the film, and I fell back in love with it. There is this unpredictability in the storytelling and this sense of fun and humor that is naturally associated with D&D, and that’s what makes it so appealing as a film.

Bill Maher Says Sports is One of the Last Industries that Hasn’t “Fallen to Nepotism” https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/27/bill-maher-says-sports-is-one-of-the-last-industries-that-hasnt-fallen-to-nepotism/ https://rec.labhanya.com/2023/03/27/bill-maher-says-sports-is-one-of-the-last-industries-that-hasnt-fallen-to-nepotism/#respond Mon, 27 Mar 2023 20:00:59 +0000 https://presshollywood.com/?p=137 The comedian said, “Sports is the last place where it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, just what you do.”

Bill Maher isn’t holding back on his take on the nepo baby debate.

During Real Time on Friday night, the comedian shared his thoughts on the highly discussed topic across social media, with stars like Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Hanks, Maude Apatow, Gwyneth Paltrow and O’Shea Jackson Jr. previously weighing in.

“Enjoy the good life, nepos. Just don’t say you didn’t have a huge advantage, or it didn’t matter that much who your parents were, or it just got my foot in the door,” Maher said, showing a montage of celebrities. “This is fucking show business, getting your foot in the door is 80 percent of it.”

The host went on to list many industries that are “full of nepo babies,” including Hollywood, politics and modeling. But he claimed the sports world is one of the few entertainment fields that hasn’t “fallen to nepotism.”

He said, “This is one reason why of the top-rated telecasts on television, sports last year accounted for 94 of the top 100 because it is the last refuge of meritocracy in America.”

He explained there are star athletes that are the children of former players, but it’s not the reason they play — it’s because of their skills and talent. “Laila Ali (former professional boxer) didn’t knock out 21 opponents by smacking them with her birth certificate,” he joked.

“Sports is the last place where it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, just what you do,” he continued, listing off entities, businesses and people he doesn’t trust, “but I do trust that the 450 players in the NBA are the absolute best 450 players the teams could find anywhere in the world.”

Maher questioned why America has “each other’s respect and the love” in sports but nowhere else. He even took a stab at higher education, claiming, “42 percent of private colleges admit applicants based almost entirely on the fact that their parents are alumni. You get in if you work hard, and your dad bought a building. These are called legacy admissions.”
