BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Apple TV+ 'The Afterparty' Trailer Starring Tiffany Haddish & Ike Barinholtz

Apple TV+ today debuted the teaser trailer for the new highly anticipated murder-mystery comedy series, “ The Afterparty ” from Academy Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord (“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “The Lego Movie,” “21 Jump Street”). The eight-episode series will premiere globally in January 2022 on Apple TV+.   “This is one of the most surprising, original and fun projects we’ve ever made,” said Lord and Miller. “Our goal was to tell a comedic whodunnit story in a new and exciting way. By giving each episode its own unique style of storytelling, we were able to make what feels like eight distinctly different but interconnected films that highlight how everyone’s personal perspective and biases shape how they see the world.” “ The Afterparty ” features a stellar ensemble cast including Tiffany Haddish (“Girls Trip,” “Like a Boss”), Sam Richardson (“Tomorrow War,” “Veep”), Zoë Chao (“Love Life,” “Downhill”), Ben Schwartz (“Space Force

Donald Glover Cast As Lando Calrissian In The Han Solo Stand-Alone Film

Lucasfilm announced today that Donald Glover , an acclaimed actor, award-winning writer, and Grammy-nominated artist, will be playing the part of Lando Calrissian in the still-untitled Han Solo Star Wars film, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Glover will join Alden Ehrenreich -- previously cast as Han Solo -- in bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy's underworld -- years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi. “We're so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said Lord and Miller. “These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we'd like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-C

Seth Grahame-Smith Is In Talks To Direct & Write The Flash

THR is reporting Seth Grahame-Smith is in negotiations to direct and write The Flash , Warner Bros.' comic book movie based on the iconic DC Entertainment scarlet speedster super hero. The movie project has a treatment from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the Lego Movie duo that were also eyeing it as a possible directing vehicle.

Flash already has a release date – March 3, 2018 – and an actor who portrays the classic hero known as "the fastest man alive" – Ezra Miller . Miller’s Flash, aka. Barry Allen, is due to be introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , and then more prominently in Justice League Part 1, which will be released in the summer of 2017. The Flash is already generating awareness in the form of a hit television series on the CW. Charles Roven is pr

The duo will direct a Star Wars anthology spin-off centering around none other than rakish space pirate Han Solo , iconically portrayed by Harrison Ford in the original Star Wars trilogy (and to be reprised in this December’s The Force Awakens ). Famed Empire Strikes Back writer Lawrence Kasdan (who also worked on the scripts for Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens ) will script the film along with his son, Jon Kasdan.

Character Posters From The Upcoming LEGO Movie

At first, he was known as 1980-something-space-guy, but now we know his name is really Benny . Also, there's a retired kinda-sorta-wise wizard called Vitruvious, but he doesn't have a bite mark on his helmet, so we're not as interested. Still, enjoy these two new Lego Movie character posters from Phil Lord and Chris Miller (of 21 Jump Street and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs fame). The plot revolves around a very normal mini-fig construction worker named Emmet (and voiced by Chris Pratt ) who accidentally finds himself anointed "The Special" by a band of rebels who believe he is the key to saving their world from a controlling dictator. Other characters populating the world include car genius Wyldstyle ( Elizabeth Banks ), Batman ( Will Arnett ), villain President Business ( Will Ferrell ) and nasty, conflicted henchman Good Cop/Bad ( Liam Neeson ).

Lego The Movie Has Found It's Directors

Empire recently spoke to Phil Lord and Chris Miller , the directorial double act behind Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street , about the latter's upcoming home release. And naturally their possible adaptation of the much-loved novel Carter Beats The Devil came up pretty swiftly... as did their work on Lego The Movie . Talking about Carter Beats The Devil , Lord was keen to point out that "it’s very early. There’s a good script: we’ve read a lot of material since Jump Street, and this was the first thing that felt intriguing, and so we’re literally just starting to talk about it. We’re deep in the LEGO bunker right now, so when we come up for air in a couple of months’ time, we’ll get more serious talking about that could be." Then began the Lego discussion. And the good news for fans of the Danish plastic bricks is that their plans for turning building blocks into cinematic building blocks are rather encouraging. Where do you begin when you’re m

21 Jump Street Movie Update

21 Jump Street Movie Update Here is an u;update on the upcoming 21 Jump Street movie. comingsoon got their hand on Jonah Hill and he let them in on a few things. "We're going to shoot it this year I think." says Hill, "We hired directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller who directed 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and are friends of mine. They are incredible. Their take on the movie is incredible... It's about cops who go back to high school. Young rookie cops who go back to high school. I think that's a real interesting idea as opposed to saying, that's not what happened in the show so it can't happen in the movie'. Working from a script by Michael Bacall and Joe Gazzam with an original idea by Hill (who is also executive producing), the film will keep the same basic premise as the series but will have a tone that Hill believes will surprise fans. "[Audiences are] not expecting what it's going to be. It's not a parody of the
