Still, those recruited players must go through the full casting process. “Believe it or not we receive many applications from the same people year after year,” former casting director Lynne Spillman, who had been with the show from the beginning until 2018, told Reality Wanted. Now, host Jeff Probst is handling casting. “Typically, it goes like this,” he outlined to Entertainment…
There is a version of Alien vs. Predator that exists almost entirely in conversation. It is the movie people bring up when they discuss wasted potential, about what should have happened when Alien and Predator finally crossed over. That version of the film has been fixed in place for years. And then there is the version people are actually watching right now. Because Alien vs. Predator is currently sitting in HBO Max’s Top 10, and that has very little to do with whether it ever lived up to its expectations, but it has everything to do with how people choose…
Paramount Peacock has some way harsh news for all you “Clueless” fans.

“Dream it. See it. Believe it. Make it happen.” That is one of the late Michael Jackson’s favorite expressions. It’s certainly one that would resonate with the “King of Pop” were he around for the opening of Antoine Fuqua’s long-awaited biopic of Jackson in theaters across the globe this weekend. In North America, Michael is on course to gross anywhere from $12 million to $13.5 million from Thursday previews and special Imax and other PLF sneaks on Wednesday night. That’s on par with the likes of event pics, including Dune: Part II or Oppenheimer, which both reported preview grosses in…

But one absence looms large: Martin Sheen. According to Sheen, the decision wasn’t…
Matlock‘s Jason Ritter teased how the hit series will change after the season 2 finale ended on a surprising note, which included multiple arrests. During the Thursday, April 23, episode of the hit CBS series, Matty (Kathy Bates) and Olympia (Skye P.

Has so much time passed that we can considered Paranormal Activity something that gets thrown back to? (Don’t answer that. I may crumble into dust.) A24’s new horror film Undertone very much plays like a variant on that 2010s-era horror series.

They fall into their prescribed podcast dynamics: Justin (Adam DiMarco, unseen in a vocal-only performance) plays up his credulousness, while…
