Right now, we know very little about the new project, beyond the fact that Fox –– fresh off of success from co-writing the two ‘Wicked’ movies is writing and producing, and that Bullock will also produce via her Fortis Films company.
What’s the story of the new Sandra Bullock/Dana Fox movie?

The new film is being kept very quiet for now –– Sony has yet to release any plot details on this one.
All we really know at this point beyond the star and writer is the fact that the package was attractive enough for Sony to stump up the money to buy it in a competitive situation.
Where else can we see Sandra Bullock?

Perhaps the most exciting Bullock movie on the horizon is ‘Practical Magic 2’ witch the witchcraft sequel reuniting her with Nicole Kidman. That one is headed for theaters on September 11.
Bullock also has an untitled romantic thriller in the works that sees her team back up with ‘Speed’ co-star Keanu Reeves.

The ‘Game of Thrones’ movie is reportedly moving forward at Warner Bros.
‘House of Cards’ and ‘Andor’ writer Beau Willimon is at work on a script.
The movie may be impacted by Paramount buying Warners.
Back before ‘Game of Thrones’ wrapped up its small screen run, there was talk that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss wanted to end the story with three movies in cinemas, a prospect that HBO bosses shot down.
But the idea of a ‘GOT’ movie didn’t go away, and in late 2024 chatter began about new development. Things have been quiet since then as Warner Bros. focused instead on prequel series ‘House of the Dragon’ and the recent launch of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’, though news has now arrived of someone actually developing a film.
What’s the potential story for a ‘Game of Thrones’ movie?

Both Page Six and a recent Hollywood Reporter profile of ‘Thrones’ novelist George R.R. Martin have pointed to a focus on Aegon I, who birthed the dragon-happy Targaryen dynasty and united six of the seven kingdoms through bloody conquest about 300 years before the original series (the iconic Iron Throne is forged from swords captured from those his armies defeated in battle).
It’s certainly fertile territory for ‘Thrones’ to explore, and indeed it appears HBO is also looking at a TV take on the idea.
Paramount has seemingly won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery.
Netflix had seemed to be in prime position but have backed out.
The news sent shockwaves through the industry.
Though it looked in December as though streaming giant Netflix had been successful in its attempt to buy Warner Bros., in a surprise move, Paramount Skydance has swept in to snatch the deal from the company’s hands.
Paramount’s David Ellison and his team had been making overtures to the Warner board, and recently upped its bid to the point where the board decided to go with the new offer.

Now the big question is whether one media giant –– especially one as similar to Warner Bros. as Paramount, can clear the regulatory hurdles such a deal would generate. But Ellison and his company’s faithfulness to the current administration would seem to be a help to them.

Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters released the following statement about the company’s decision to drop out of the bidding process:
“We’ve always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance’s latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match. This transaction was always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price.”
What next for Paramount and Warners?

Pending regulatory approval, Paramount will own not only Warner Bros. and HBO, but also many popular cable networks including CNN, TNT, TBS and Food Network. The deal would represent a major ground shift for the entertainment industry, which is trying to adapt to seismic shifts in audience habits and technology.
Will the giant merged legacy media company be able to overcome competition from Netflix, which has its own sphere of influence? Only time will tell…
The Golden Globes will air on Paramount+ live January 11th, 2026.

‘One Battle After Another,’ ‘Hamnet’ and more won at this year’s Golden Globes.
Seth Rogen and Noah Wyle were among the TV nominees who went home with trophies.
The show added Podcast and stand-up categories this year.
The 2026 Golden Globes ceremony happened on Sunday night, and there weren’t a lot of surprises.
Host Nikki Glaser’s opening monologue took some potshots at the Warner Bros./Netflix deal, Leonardo DiCaprio’s penchant for younger girlfriends and, in slightly more pointed moments, the Epstein files and the ongoing, disturbing changes at CBS news.
On the TV front, it also felt a little like a repeat of other awards ceremonies, with the likes of Noah Wyle, Jean Smart and Seth Rogen all picking up trophies after winning at other events.
At least the Podcast category was new, even if Amy Poehler (a popular former Globes host) wasn’t a big shock winner for her ‘Good Hang’ interview show.
But if you were a composer hoping to see your work honored, you were out of luck, since the Globes organizers chose to hand out that category off the air (congratulations and, er, sorry to ‘Sinners’ Ludwig Göransson, by the way).
(L to R) Lesley Ann Warren and Colleen Camp talk 1985’s ‘Clue’.
Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with icons Lesley Ann Warren and Colleen Camp about the 40th anniversary of the classic film, their first reaction to the screenplay, their approach to their characters, working with the all-star cast and director Jonathan Lynn, and the film’s groundbreaking alternate endings.
You can read the full interview below or click on the video player above to watch our interviews.
Moviefone: To begin with, Lesley, can you talk about your first reaction to the screenplay and what were your thoughts on adapting a board game into a movie, which is common now but very unusual in the 1980s?
Lesley Ann Warren: Well, the good news in a strange way is that I read it as a script for a film. I had not ever played the board game. So, I was not familiar with the characters. I didn’t know anything about the story of Clue. I was also asked to play Mrs. White because Carrie Fisher was playing Miss Scarlet. The cast was beginning to come together, and I was excited, some of them were on board already. Then Carrie had to drop out because she had personal issues she had to deal with. They came back to me and said, would you like to play Miss Scarlet? Well, I’ve always thought I was better Miss Scarlet than Mrs. White. So, I was thrilled to be able to step into the very high heels of Miss Scarlett.
MF: Just to follow up, the film’s multiple endings was also groundbreaking at the time, but again something that is quite common now. What was it like shooting the different endings and was that something that director Jonathan Lynn had to really fight for?
LAW: I don’t know whether he did have to fight the studio, but we did not know that there were going to be multiple endings until about two thirds of the way through the script, which was kind of great because we didn’t know where the murderer was. So, we were able to play those scenes really having no clue. If we had known, we would have been playing it very differently. So, when it was revealed to us, then we were able to embrace whoever was the murderer, and I was glad I was one of them. But it was it was a surprise to us as well.
MF: Colleen, Yvette was not a character in the board game, do you think that gave you a certain freedom in playing the character?
Colleen Camp: I think it did, and I was a clue fanatic. I loved that board game. I thought it was such a phenomenal board game. I had so much reverence for the board game that I never even imagined who could play all these characters. When I was faced with these icons playing these characters, I thought, I’ve hit pay dirt. I always loved the game. Now if I go back and play that game, I really believe they should have a game with every one of their faces on the board. I think there should be a year of ‘Clue’ anniversary celebrations. I think we should have ‘Clue’ parties. That’s not easy, when you have a board game and then these characters in the movie are so brilliant. There is no one that could have played Miss Scarlett but Lesley Ann Warren. So, for me, being a character that was not part of that initial board game, in one sense, I was apart from the group. But then it also gave me an opportunity to have a depth that may not seem on the surface of this French maid. I’m there taking a big view of what’s going on, and I’m much more calculated than you would expect. That was exciting because it did give me more freedom. In terms of the endings, no, we did not know. So, for me, all a sudden, to find out that I’m one of Miss Scarlet’s girls and I’m being strangled by the pool table was very interesting. Because at the time, we weren’t sure about those endings. We thought it was a great idea, but they thought that maybe it impacted the box office, that people were confused and what version they were watching.
MF: Lesley, the film features an all-star cast, what was it like working with them and was there anyone that you really bonded with?
LAW: Colleen! No lie. We really did, bond. We were talking a lot about our relationships, but we just did, and we hung out in each other’s trailers. But the other person that I personally bonded with was Martin Mull. I adored him beyond. We were put together, Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlett a lot. But then we went on to do four or five different movie and television projects together. We stayed very much in contact. I was devastated at his passing. You know, you hear this a lot, but this is really the truth, we were so compatible as a group, both artistically compatible and emotionally compatible. There was no drama, no acting out, we supported each other’s work and were rolling in the aisles when somebody would do something. It was an amazing experience. One of the things that I say a lot, and I really mean it is that each one of these actors had such a specific perspective on comedy and character, and yet, the work blended, which is very unusual. We were all very different, and unique in our way of creating these characters that are now indelible. But it never got in the way of the ensemble rhythm and just ability to bring these moments to life.
MF: Colleen, what was your experience like working with the cast?
CC: Amazing. And what she just said is that there was such a love and generosity from the actors as see great work. Somebody would do “The flames” like Madeline Kahn or Eileen Brennan with the feathers or any of the other actors. You were so thrilled and so excited that you were cheering them on. Fortunately for me, I worked with Michael McKeon, and then I worked with Christopher Lloyd four times. When I start to think about the movies that we all did together, that were different films, that we were in, that created a bonding as well. So, that’s what was also exciting.
MF: Finally, Colleen, can you talk about collaborating with director Jonathan Lynn on set and his unique vision for this project?
CC: He’s a genius. He had a theater background, and he was a genius at direction. He understood humor and he understood the nuance and the rhythm. Jonathan Lynn had a style, and he was very brilliant. He’s an intellectual. So, I think it was a very smart script and I was very fortunate to work with Jonathan again in ‘Greedy’. Jonathan always had a great casting sense. The casting was very interesting, and I think that that’s the genius of ‘Clue’ because it’s great acting and big stars, but stars on a level that are also character actors.
‘Clue’ is now available to buy or rent on 4K Ultra-HD Digital in honor of the film’s 40th anniversary.
What is the plot of ‘Clue’?
‘Clue’ finds six colorful dinner guests (Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kline, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren) gathered at the mansion of their host, Mr. Boddy (Lee Ving), who turns up dead after his secret is exposed: He was blackmailing all of them. With the killer among them, the guests and Boddy’s chatty butler (Tim Curry) must discover out the culprit before the body count rises.
It does, however, mean that forward development on a darker, grittier Turtles outing, ‘The Last Ronin,’ a live-action/CG animation hybrid project that was in development as an R-rated feature, and had ‘Nobody’ filmmaker Ilya Naishuller in talks to direct, is on indefinite pause.
That one will have to dwell in a sewer for now. And the studio has also cancelled future episodes of animated series ‘Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ an animated small-screen spin-off from ‘Mutant Mayhem.’
What is the history of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

The main mutant foursome –– Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo –– first burst onto the pop cultural scene via Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s 1984 comic book, launched as a satire of other titles at the time.
That first run was a huge hit, and has since spawned a vast media empire encompassing several animated TV series, a number of movies and enough merchandise to clog New York’s sewers.
‘Mutant Mayhem’ was received much more kindly and did healthy business, but now the aim is for Moritz to bring a similar all-ages feel as he has to ‘Sonic.’
With zero creative talent attached yet, it’s much too early to speculate; but you know Paramount –– which owns the Turtles outright as opposed to sharing as with ‘Transformers’ –– will want to get something to theaters as soon as possible.
The yet-to-be-titled ‘Mutant Mayhem’ sequel, which sees the return of director Jeff Rowe, is scheduled for release in September 2027.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are developing a new ‘Star Trek’ Movie.
They’ve come up with a new idea not connected to previous movies or shows.
They’re also writing the script.
While the TV side of the franchise has been ticking along nicely, big-screen ‘Star Trek’ fell into something of a black hole, with little progress towards theaters.
At least, they’re aboard to develop a new movie (more on that below), with the hopes of kickstarting the franchise back to life. Will they succeed? Others have tried and failed (again, see below), but we’re certainly hoping to see them give it a shot.
What has been happening with big-screen ‘Star Trek’?

The movies have been mired in development limbo since ‘Star Trek Beyond’ opened to less-than-thrilling box office in 2016.
There have been various films announced or reported upon, including a return for Chris Pine’s Kirk and co. from J.J. Abrams’ “Kelvin” timeline movies, a one-off by Quentin Tarantino (which always seemed less likely to happen) and the more recent word of a prequel/origin story to be directed by ‘Andor’s Toby Haynes with a script by Seth Grahame-Smith.
The latter may still happen (with Paramount going on a “try anything” spree), but there was more recent word of ‘X-Men’ veteran Simon Kinberg being hired as the producer overseeing the whole thing. There’s no mention of him in Deadline’s story about Daley and Goldstein’s deal, but perhaps he will be around to help out?
What’s the story for this latest ‘Trek’ development?

Little is known about what Daley and Goldstein have planned for ‘Star Trek’, though new Paramount overseer David Ellison said on a recent earnings call that it would not be a sequel in the Pine-led series but something different with new actors.
Which is almost a shame, since Pine clearly enjoyed working with the directors on ‘Dungeons & Dragons’…
When will this new ‘Star Trek’ movie head to screens?
If you’ll pardon us, given recent history we won’t hold our breath just yet until this thing actually has a trailer.

Peter Berg and Taylor Sheridan are developing a ‘Call of Duty’ movie.
It’ll be based on the bestselling Activision Games.
The movie is based at Paramount.
Does Taylor Sheridan really have much free time given how many TV shows he’s overseeing. Even with delegating to other showrunners, we wonder when he found time to take on another project –– presumably between three and four a.m.
But found time he has, teaming up with ‘Lone Survivor’ director Peter Berg to adapt Activision’s huge-selling ‘Call of Duty’ game series into a new movie for Paramount.
h1cIH5jdbOI6sTd98kkPr1
The games have been in development as a potential movie since at least 2015, and at one point, no less a director than Steven Spielberg pitched a take.
Still, the creator of ‘Lioness’ and the director behind a variety of battle-happy movies feel like the right duo to make it work –– with the added bonus that they’re friends and have collaborated before on the likes of ‘Hell or High Water.’
‘Call of Duty’ is backed by Microsoft-owned video game publisher Activision. It encompasses more than 30 mainline games released since the original title debuted in 2003.
When the deal to make a movie was announced in September, Variety heard that while the pact is focused on making one movie, the deal includes the potential for Paramount to expand the ‘COD’ universe across film and TV.
As for the actual plotline, that’s yet to be revealed, but given the warfare-focused first-person shooter style of the game, not to mention both Sheridan and Berg’s love of action, we’d expect conflict.
What else are Peter Berg and Taylor Sheridan working on?
The biggest recent news for the prolific writer/creator is that his professional services were poached by NBC Universal, and in 2029 he’ll move his TV duties there.
Paramount still retains his various ‘Yellowstone’ shows and other series created under his deal with the company. And ‘Call of Duty’ will represent one of the final film projects he works on for the studio.
When will ‘Call of Duty’ be in theaters?
Paramount has yet to specify when the movie might arrive, most likely waiting to see if it makes it out of the development boot camp.

Premiering on Paramount+ August 26th is the new documentary ‘Stans’, which was directed by Steven Leckart and chronicles both the career of rapper Eminem (Marshall Mathers) as well as his relationship with his fans.

Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with director Steven Leckart about his work on ‘Stans’, the decision to focus on the fans, finding them for the film, working with Eminem, the legacy of the song ‘Stan’, and the moment when Eminem became the GOAT.

Moviefone: To begin with, can you talk about how this documentary came together and was it your idea or Eminem’s to focus on his fans?
Steven Leckart: So, the project predates me in terms of the original conceit, and Paul Rosenberg, who is Eminem’s longtime manager and is a producer on the film with us was an incredible collaborator. Paul has made it clear that they didn’t want to make anything conventional. They didn’t want to just look at his career and put him in a chair and tell his whole story. Paul has said very clearly and said this to me that the idea of doing that, I think it’s twofold. One, he’s such an unconventional artist that to do something so straightforward would be just not interesting, but also not very on brand for them. I think the other piece of it is, and Paul has said this, that apart from just that’s who he is as a person, you don’t necessarily do a whole retrospective of your career and life when you’re only in your early 50s and you’re still putting out music and doing things. The story’s not over. So why would you do that? So, I was delighted when I met them about five years ago and that they didn’t want to do anything conventional. Then because of the song ‘Stan’ and the way it’s impacted pop culture and become part of the ethos, so to speak, they thought, ‘Well, why don’t we turn the camera around on the fans?” Because if you know about the song ‘Stan’, it’s written from a fan’s perspective. So, when I came along, that was kind of all sitting there, but it was like, “Well, how do we navigate?” I think it’s important that we find a way to weave Marshall’s perspective through interviews and do some filming, but where’s the line in terms of when it’s him versus the fans? So, figuring out that balance is something we all collaborated very intensely on together, and as a filmmaker, it added to the challenge and that’s why I was so grateful and excited about this project.

MF: Can you talk about working with Eminem on this project and what was it like to sit down with him and interview him?
SL: Well, by the time we sat down to do the interview, obviously we’d met each other and he’s a producer on the movie. It was a long time coming. So, by the time we sat down, it was like I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve for the film. We had already been in the edit. When I met everybody, my promise to them was that we would be incredibly mindful of his time, and we wouldn’t waste his time. That’s not just because I think that’s a better way to manage the situation. It’s just, as a filmmaker, I like to be efficient. So, I wanted to make sure that what we did was we got a lot of depth in as little time as possible while simultaneously serving the needs for the film to have some balance between just being fans and needing his perspective. Because the film, if you think about it, is very much about the double-edged sword of the relationship between an artist and the fans. So, to not have the artist’s perspective to come in and punctuate it at times would’ve been a real missed opportunity. So, by the time we sat down, one, I’d met him before and we had, I think from the beginning, a nice rapport. He’s incredibly funny, sharp, witty, and all the things you’d probably expect. But what I found to be profound for me and very moving, was the way he could turn on a dime and become incredibly sincere, earnest and thoughtful. I think that’s what will be ultimately surprising to a lot of people in the film is just how much depth is there. But if you go to the records, it’s there. We just don’t necessarily know that if you haven’t listened to all the records or if you just know the singles. It’s in the albums. So, to me, he was exactly what you see in the movie, and I’m proud of that interview.

MF: Can you talk about finding the “Stans” to interview for this project and did any of them alarm you?
SL: No, there was no one that was scary to me, and there was nobody that I was concerned about being in a room with, partially because we just vetted people quite a lot on the front end. We did casting-tapes and calls with people. So, we started with a link that went out over Eminem’s social media, which was fantastic because basically we put out this link to a questionnaire and we presented all the questions. So, we were able to kind of go through all of that and get a sense of each person already. Then we also asked for a 60-minute video. So, then we sort of culled from that. Then we worked with a great casting team, and they would go through the stuff, and they’d set up Zooms with people, and we would talk every few days about, “What are you seeing? Who are you finding? This person seems charming. Okay, but do they have all the story points that we’re looking for?” The thesis in POV of the movie is one of the lyrics from the song ‘Stan’, which is, “I’m just like you.” So, Stan in the original song writes to Marshall in his letter and says, “I’m just like you. Here’s how I’m just like you.” So, we looked through the profiles for people who felt they were just like him and could articulate why they were just like him. We found people that reflected on different parts of his life. Some people were like Venn diagrams, they had it all. Some people only had one kind of piece. Then we were looking for people that just popped off-screen, people that would be memorable, whether you like them, or you’re intrigued by them or you’re not sure. That was really by design. But everyone by and large was incredibly sweet. Then there were several people that I also talked to before we went to film with them, partially because I understood that if you’re going to make a film about people who will open-up about very deeply personal things, I wanted them to know who I was before we showed up on set. It was important to me to sort of, I think give them a safe space, and made them feel like they knew the interviewer before they showed up. It’s been great seeing and hearing from so many of them since they all now seen the film and that feels good that they expressed such vulnerability and they’re okay with it. Some people could feel a little either embarrassed or exposed, but they’re just like Eminem in that way because Eminem exposes so much of his own vulnerabilities in the music. It’s an interesting fun house mirror.

MF: Can you talk about the legacy of the song ‘Stan’ and how it has managed to stay in the pop culture zeitgeist for so long?
SL: I mean, I think it’s a perfect storm and confluence of everything that you hear in the song coming together. You have this Dido sample, which was a huge pop song that wound up in this movie ‘Sliding Doors’ with Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s just a love song, and it starts with a conga beat, and it’s just so soothing and gentle. Yet to make something that takes that and flips this on its head in terms of the narrative that was created by Eminem and his rapping, that’s what makes it so fascinating because it’s dark and light running together. I think that’s what we wanted to do in the movie was to have dark and light running concurrently together. I think what’s made it sustain is the fact that there was really nothing like it at the time. The song’s also been prophetic. Having a major artist write something about fame was I think a little bit interesting and new, right? Because he was newly famous when he wrote that song. I think that struck a chord, and then the video itself, which was co-directed by Dr. Dre, is cinematic. They shot on film; they had a crane. I mean, there’s stunts involved where a car is driving over a bridge. I think at the time it came out, people were really stunned by it and shocked. Then I think even people discovering it today, it’s just a masterpiece.

MF: Finally, since you’ve done so much research on Eminem and his career, when do you think was the exact moment that he went from a respected rapper to the GOAT?
SL: I’m trying to remember if I can, when I feel like I heard about the GOAT conversation coming up, but I can’t remember exactly. I think looking back, I really think ‘8 Mile’ solidified the legacy and the legend of him because it gave a glimpse of where he came from, which is battle rap, which so many fans didn’t know about, but for fans who did know, it provided a sense of deep authenticity to him to come from that scene. I think the movie made average people who don’t know anything about hip hop aware of it. I think for people who are hardcore, I’m going to argue with you about this rapper versus this rapper, to see his old battle raps, which you can do on YouTube now, and find those raps, you realize just how preternaturally talented he was. I think the other aspect more recently that’s become clear about him as why people argue he’s the GOAT, is that he treats it like a 9 to 5 job. He goes to the studio in Michigan five days a week and works five days a week on music. I’m not the first person to say that. People know that. It’s hard to imagine any other rapper that’s going to work as hard as he works to create the art that he creates for as long as he’s planning to create it. I think that’s the other aspect that leads to people feeling he’s the GOAT. To me, he’s certainly on the Mount Rushmore. That’s not debatable.

What is the plot of ‘Stans’?
A revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of super-fandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic and enduring artists, Eminem, and the fans that worship him.

The movie will be out in June next year.
While the new instalment of the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise has been in the works for a while now, we only learned later last year that the Wayans brothers –– who were a key part of the creative team as well as appearing in the movies.
We wondered at the time whether the likes of fellow franchise stalwarts Anna Faris (who played Cindy Campbell in a variety of the films) and Regina Hall (Brenda) will both also be back for this new one. Deadline has now confirmed that they will.

Marlon Wayans and Faris also teased the duo’s return via Instagram:
There are no details of what the new movie will be about but given that the original two films were primarily spoofs of ‘Scream,’ ‘The Exorcist’ and other horror classics, we’d expect some combination of riffs on the current crop of movies and tropes.
The script this time comes from the brothers and Rick Alvarez, who is a regular Wayans contributor, having written the likes of ‘Fifty Shades of Black,’ ‘Sextuplets’ and ‘Naked.’
And Michael Tiddes, a fellow Wayans veteran, is in the director’s chair.

This is what Hall and Faris had to say about their return:
“We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon — three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again).”
Here’s what the brothers told Deadline about their comeback:
“We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the new ‘Scary Movie’ and work with each other again. This is a franchise we created more than 20 years ago. We remember people laughing in the aisles and hope to see that happen again. We look forward to working with Jonathan Glickman and his team at the new Miramax to bring these laughs to theaters, where they belong. It’s a double reunion.”
When will the new ‘Scary Movie’ entry be in theaters?
Paramount has scheduled the movie for a June 12th, 2026 release date, and with cameras set to roll this October, it’ll be ready to make us laugh again next summer.
