Hot Frosty’ Review: Lacey Chabert Trades Fruitcake for Beefcake in Netflix’s Heartwarming Holiday Romp

News
By Courtney Howard According To The variety Shaking up holiday traditions in irreverently welcome ways, director Jerry Ciccoritti and writer Russell Hainline’s “Hot Frosty” redesigns the look and feel of the familiar snow-made showcase. Their story, centered on a wishful widow who magically transforms a snowman into a hunky rube, balances its sillier aspects with a touching sense of sincerity. They do away with the cartoonish character’s corncob pipe, coal eyes and rotund body, replacing these features with beefy biceps, chiseled bone structure and sculpted abs. The narrative delivers some refreshing highlights for the benefit of Netflix’s Holiday Cinematic Universe, specifically acknowledging its target audience’s yearning for a sprinkling of cheeky, wanton lust alongside its...
Lupita Nyong’o Joins the Star-Studded Cast of Christopher Nolan’s Next Film

Lupita Nyong’o Joins the Star-Studded Cast of Christopher Nolan’s Next Film

News
By Rebecca Rubin According To The variety Lupita Nyong’o is the latest boldfaced name to join the buzzy ensemble of Christopher Nolan‘s next film. Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya and Anne Hathaway are among the A-listers who are expected to star in the untitled movie, which is otherwise shrouded in secrecy. It will release in theaters on July 17, 2026. Universal had no comment about Nyong’o’s casting. The upcoming feature is expected to start shooting in early 2025. Plot details as well as the genre haven’t been confirmed. Nolan is writing and directing the movie for Universal Pictures, the studio behind the filmmaker’s best picture-winning historical epic “Oppenheimer.” Nolan was awarded the first directing Oscar of his career for “Oppenheimer,” a three-hour, R-rated per...
Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Red One’ Targets $30 Million Box Office Bounty

Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Red One’ Targets $30 Million Box Office Bounty

News
By Rebecca Rubin According To The variety Will “Red One,” a Christmas action-comedy where Dwayne Johnson plays Santa’s head of security, bring movie theaters a box office bounty? The film, from Amazon MGM, is targeting $30 million to $35 million from 4,032 locations in its first weekend of release. Independent tracking services are mixed, suggesting that “Red One” could earn as little as $25 million and as much as $40 million in its debut. Ticket sales on the higher end of that range would be decent for an original holiday film. However, “Red One” cost $250 million before accounting for global marketing efforts. So either way, the movie will need positive word-of-mouth to portend a long life in theaters and justify its cost. Of course, Amazon MGM cares about much more than box off...

Yellowstone’ Director on John Dutton’s Bloody Crime Scene, Beth’s Primal Wail and More Secrets

News
By William Earl According To The variety SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for “Yellowstone” Season 5 Episode 9, “Desire Is All You Need.” Sunday’s episode of “Yellowstone” was a game-changer, as patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was killed off after the actor decided not to return to the show. As shocking as the event was, the aftermath has reverberations that set the scene for the whole season. Director Christina Alexandra Voros spoke with Variety about the intense emotions conjured while filming the episode, how the crew supports the cast on complicated shooting days and what sequel series “The Madison” will have in common with “Yellowstone.” There was a long time between filming the first and second half of Season 5, and Kevin Costner a...
Gladiator II’ Review: Paul Mescal Is a Pensive Avenger in Ridley Scott’s Serviceable but Far From Great Sequel

Gladiator II’ Review: Paul Mescal Is a Pensive Avenger in Ridley Scott’s Serviceable but Far From Great Sequel

News
By Owen Gleiberman According To The variety It may not be high praise, but “Gladiator II,” the sequel to Ridley Scott’s landmark slash-and-burn ancient Rome spectacular, is probably about as good a movie as we could have expected it to be. Written by David Scarpa (“Napoleon”) and directed by Scott (who, at 86, hasn’t lost his touch for the peacock pageantry of teeming masses thirsting for blood), the movie is a solid piece of neoclassical popcorn — a serviceable epic of brutal warfare, Colosseum duels featuring lavish decapitations and beasts both animal and human, along with the middlebrow “decadence” of palace intrigue. The whole film is tailored to the next-generation specifications of its star, Paul Mescal, who plays a descendant of Russell Crowe’s Maximus (I won’t say more)...
