‘Men in Black’ Reboot Eyes ‘Fate of the Furious‘ Director F. Gary Gray
To answer your first question: No, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are not returning. And to answer your second question: No, this isn’t that 21 Jump Street spinoff / crossover.
Judd Apatow Takes Diane Keaton to Task Over Woody Allen Defense
In what may be the first — and possibly strangest — celebrity feud of 2018, filmmaker Judd Apatow has seen Diane Keaton’s defense of longtime friend and collaborator Woody Allen, and he’s not having any of it.

Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson Top List of Highest-Grossing Actors in 2017
It looks like Vin Diesel has bested Dwayne Johnson in at least one arena, clocking in at number one on Forbes’ list of the highest-grossing actors of 2017 — and throwing a little more fuel on that Fast & Furious feud (say that five times fast). Thanks to The Fate of the Furious and xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Diesel edged out his Fast co-star / arch-nemesis, and with fewer 2017 releases under his belt.
Peter Jackson Explains How Harvey Weinstein Blacklisted Ashley Judd and Miro Sorvino From ‘The Lord of the Rings’
After Harvey Weinstein’s extensive history of sexual harassment and assault allegations were exposed, so too were the former film executive’s disturbingly zealous attempts to silence his victims. As many of the brave women to come forward have revealed, Weinstein often threatened to ruin their careers, and some of them found their Hollywood access limited as a result of rejecting or attempting to speak out against his aggressive advances. Still, questions have lingered about exactly how Weinstein effectively stifled the careers of these actresses, including Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino. In a new interview, filmmaker Peter Jackson sheds some additional light on one of the industry’s darkest corners.
Seth Rogen to Play Walter Cronkite in David Gordon Green’s ‘Newsflash‘
Seth Rogen, who stays about half as busy as The Rock (which is still, like, 20 times busier than you’ll ever be), is stepping behind the news desk for his next gig. In what could be a surprising dramatic turn for Rogen the actor, he’s signed on to play the late Walter Cronkite for director David Gordon Green’s Newsflash — which chronicles the evening news host’s coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’ Will Be Rated R, Potential Writers Revealed
Well that was fast. Although we’re still mighty skeptical about Quentin Tarantino actually directing this thing, his Star Trek pitch is moving along rather quickly. The director has met with a trio of writers, with one reportedly emerging as the frontrunner to script the new Star Trek movie based on Tarantino’s idea. But the most interesting part of the latest update on this wacky concept is that Paramount has agreed to Tarantino’s stipulation that the film be rated R.
James Mangold to Direct Patty Hearst Movie, Elle Fanning in Talks for Lead Role
We’ve been wondering what the director of Logan would pick for his next project, and although last week it seemed like James Mangold would follow up his gritty superhero flick with a more kid-friendly endeavor, a new report says otherwise. Mangold is set to direct an untitled drama about Patty Hearst, with Elle Fanning in talks to portray the notorious heiress-turned-left wing terrorist.
Ryan Reynolds Will Play ‘Detective Pikachu’ Because Someone Has to Do It
Ryan Reynolds is adding another quirky note to the delightfully bizarre timeline of his career, which is already punctuated with a strange collection of notable characters like Van Wilder, Green Lantern, and Deadpool — the latter of which has helped us forget all about the first two (until now, I am so sorry). The actor is trading in his mercenary spandex and seemingly infinite mental Rolodex of profanity for a Pokeball and some decidedly family-friendly language in Detective Pikachu.
