Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio led The Karate Kid movies at different points in history, and they’re finally gearing up to do it by each other’s side! The two The Karate Kid veterans will join forces in the upcoming sixth film in the beloved martial arts series.

Chan and Macchio are no strangers to The Karate Kid franchise, but their characters never met on screen before. Macchio rose to prominence after playing the karate protégé Daniel LaRusso in the original The Karate Kid from 1984, while Chan played a character based on his mentor Mr. Miyagi in the 2010 remake alongside Jaden Smith.

The upcoming sixth film in this franchise was written by Rob Lieber, with Jonathan Entwistle (The End of the F***ing World) serving as the director. Chan and Macchio announced their return in a video shared on Sony Picture’s social media channels and encouraged young actors to submit audition tapes to KarateKidCasting.com, kicking off the search for the next karate kid.

It’s been a while since Jackie Chan’s last foray into The Karate Kid universe, but Ralph Macchio is a different story. He successfully revived the franchise alongside William Zabka with the hit spin-off series Cobra Kai, which centers on their characters Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence years after the events of the original film.

The Billboard Music Awards returned to celebrate the best music of 2023 on Sunday night, and the list of winners is truly an embarrassment of riches. The country singer Morgan Wallen led the way with 11 wins, followed by the pop icon Taylor Swift with 10 awards.

Swift wasn’t able to pick up her awards in person because she’s currently busy touring across South America, but she took a moment to tune in via video and thank her passionate fanbase in her acceptance speech.

“I’m talking to the fans specifically. None of this happens without you. The Billboards base everything off of what you are listening to and what you’re passionate about, and I’m so honored that this year you made The Eras Tour so magical,” said Swift.

As for Wallen, he walked away with 11 awards, including top male artist, top Billboard 200 album for One Thing at the Time, and top Hot 100 song for “Last Night”. Drake collected five accolades, and SZA and Zach Bryan were right behind with four each.

Marvel bosses are getting ready to reboot the Fantastic Four franchise, and it seems they’ve found the perfect man for the job! The Emmy-nominated actor Pedro Pascal is eying the role of the Fantastic Four leader Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in Marvel’s upcoming remake.

Pascal’s casting is yet to be confirmed, but he’s currently a front-runner for the role, according to Deadline. Marvel is yet to officially confirm the news because they have to figure out the scheduling with Pascal, and they can’t proceed with casting other roles before locking down the actor who’ll lead the team as Reed Richards.

Even before eying this role, Pascal was one of the busiest actors working in Hollywood right now. He’s the leading star of Disney’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s The Last of Us, in addition to being attached to several high-profile films, starting with Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 and Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls.

If Pascal manages to officially secure this role, he’ll follow in the footsteps of Ioan Gruffudd and Miles Teller, who portrayed Reed Richards in the previous two incarnations of the Fantastic Four franchise. John Krasinski also made a brief cameo as this character in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The collaboration between Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua is the gift that keeps on giving, and their next project together is shaping up to be the most epic one yet. The two-time Oscar winner will play the legendary warrior Hannibal in Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming historical epic.

According to the film’s official logline, it centers on “real-life warrior Hannibal, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history” and “covers the pivotal battles he led against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War.”

Hannibal is best remembered for storming in Italy with his army, after crossing the Alps atop North African elephants, and his brilliant military tactics secured him a place in history books.

Washington reportedly wanted to play this character for 20 years, but he wasn’t ready to commit to a project of this scope because he was focused on raising his family. He’s finally ready to take on this role, and he found perfect partners in crime in his frequent collaborator Fuqua and the three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan.

The Hannibal biopic isn’t the only historical epic that Washington is attached to. He’ll reteam with Ridley Scott in Gladiator 2, also starring Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Derek Jacobi.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the cult anime Avatar: The Last Airbender was a long time coming, and its release date is just around the corner. The streaming giant gave us a taste of things to come by dropping the first teaser trailer for this hotly-anticipated series.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world divided into four nations ruled by different elements: water, earth, fire, or air. They lived in harmony for centuries, with the master of all four elements known as the Avatar keeping the peace between them, but all hell broke loose when the Fire Nation decided to rebel.

After many years of war and carnage, it’s up to the young Air Nomad named Aang to bring peace to the world ravaged by war. He joins forces with his friends Sokka and Katara and embarks on an action-packed quest to take his rightful place as the next Avatar.

Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, and Ian Ousley will lead the series as Aang, Katara, and Sokka. They’ll be joined by Dallas Liu, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Leung, Maria Zhang, Elizabeth Yu, and Lim Kay Siu in supporting roles.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender marks the second live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon anime, and it will premiere on this streaming service sometime next year.

The Bear became one of the biggest cultural phenomena to premiere on FX in the past few years, and it was just a matter of time before it was renewed. After knocking it out of the park with its second season, the critically acclaimed dramedy is officially coming back for another chapter.

The first season of The Bear centered on the young chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who left the world of fine dining behind to run the rundown Chicago sandwich shop after his brother’s death. The second season switched up the premise and showed Carmy and his crew trying to change their restaurant from the ground up and reopen it as a fine dining establishment.

Jeremy Allen White led the ensemble cast of The Bear, alongside Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson. He already won several accolades for his performance, including the SAG Award and Golden Globe.

Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, confirmed the show’s renewal in a statement and said they’re looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear.

“We’re so proud to partner with Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, and the rest of the creative team, as well as the brilliant cast led by Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable,” said Grad.

A24’s films are a gift that keeps on giving, and they got to film quite a few under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement this year. Death of a Unicorn is their latest high-profile project to wrap up production, and its star-studded cast will be led by Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd.

Rudd (Ant-Man) and Ortega (Wednesday) star as father and daughter whose weekend retreat turns into a nightmare after a disastrous hit-and-run. They end up running over a unicorn that just happens to be the latest target of an eccentric billionaire trying to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties.

In addition to Rudd and Ortega, this quirky project also stars Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Téa Leoni (Flirting with Disaster), Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Anthony Carrigan (Barry), Sunita Mani (GLOW), Jessica Hynes (Shaun of the Dead), and Stephen Park (Asteroid City).

Death of a Unicorn hails from the first-time director Alex Scharfman, who was also in charge of penning the script and producing the film via Secret Engine. The production already concluded under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement this summer, with A24 co-financing it with Ley Line Entertainment and taking charge of its global distribution.

The Von Erich family ruled the world of wrestling for quite some time, and it was just a matter of time before someone told their tale. Sean Durkin took matters into his own hands, and the first trailer for his upcoming film The Iron Claw starring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White is finally here.

Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene) joined forces with A24 to tell the tale of the highest highs and the lowest lows of the Von Erichs clan. They entered the world of wrestling during the ’60s and ruled it for quite some time, but their professional success was followed by many personal tragedies, sparking the talk about the Von Erichs curse.

The first trailer for this project is set to the beat of Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, and it sees the dynasty’s two most popular wrestlers – Kevin and Kerry Von Erich – using camaraderie to overcome their wrestling opponents and their own bullying father.

Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White lead the way as Kevin and Kerry Von Erich, while the supporting cast includes Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich, Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich, Maura Tierney as Doris Von Erich, and Lily James as Kevin’s wife, Pam Adkisson.

The Iron Claw will be released by A24 on December 22.

Wish is one of the most promising animated movies coming our way this fall and Disney is planning something huge for its Thanksgiving release. They just dropped the first full trailer for this magical fantasy film and announced additional voice cast members.

According to Disney’s official synopsis, Wish takes place in the magical kingdom of Rosas, where a sharp-witted idealist Asha makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force. She must join forces with a little ball of boundless energy called Star to save the kingdom of Rosas from its ruthless ruler, King Magnifico.

In addition to Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as King Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Valentino, the voice ensemble of Wish will include several newly announced cast members, including Angelique Cabral, Victor Garber, Natasha Rothwell, Jennifer Kumiyama, Evan Peters, Harvey Guillén, Ramy Youssef, Niko Vargas, Della Saba, and Jon Rudnitsky.

Wish was directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn, while Frozen’s Jennifer Lee co-wrote the script alongside Allison Moore. Wish will be released in honor of Disney’s 100th anniversary, and it’s supposed to tie together the themes explored by many of the studio’s signature films. It will hit the theatres on November 22, and its Disney+ release date is yet to be announced.

Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio led The Karate Kid movies at different points in history, and they’re finally gearing up to do it by each other’s side! The two The Karate Kid veterans will join forces in the upcoming sixth film in the beloved martial arts series.

Chan and Macchio are no strangers to The Karate Kid franchise, but their characters never met on screen before. Macchio rose to prominence after playing the karate protégé Daniel LaRusso in the original The Karate Kid from 1984, while Chan played a character based on his mentor Mr. Miyagi in the 2010 remake alongside Jaden Smith.

The upcoming sixth film in this franchise was written by Rob Lieber, with Jonathan Entwistle (The End of the F***ing World) serving as the director. Chan and Macchio announced their return in a video shared on Sony Picture’s social media channels and encouraged young actors to submit audition tapes to KarateKidCasting.com, kicking off the search for the next karate kid.

It’s been a while since Jackie Chan’s last foray into The Karate Kid universe, but Ralph Macchio is a different story. He successfully revived the franchise alongside William Zabka with the hit spin-off series Cobra Kai, which centers on their characters Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence years after the events of the original film.

The Billboard Music Awards returned to celebrate the best music of 2023 on Sunday night, and the list of winners is truly an embarrassment of riches. The country singer Morgan Wallen led the way with 11 wins, followed by the pop icon Taylor Swift with 10 awards.

Swift wasn’t able to pick up her awards in person because she’s currently busy touring across South America, but she took a moment to tune in via video and thank her passionate fanbase in her acceptance speech.

“I’m talking to the fans specifically. None of this happens without you. The Billboards base everything off of what you are listening to and what you’re passionate about, and I’m so honored that this year you made The Eras Tour so magical,” said Swift.

As for Wallen, he walked away with 11 awards, including top male artist, top Billboard 200 album for One Thing at the Time, and top Hot 100 song for “Last Night”. Drake collected five accolades, and SZA and Zach Bryan were right behind with four each.

Marvel bosses are getting ready to reboot the Fantastic Four franchise, and it seems they’ve found the perfect man for the job! The Emmy-nominated actor Pedro Pascal is eying the role of the Fantastic Four leader Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in Marvel’s upcoming remake.

Pascal’s casting is yet to be confirmed, but he’s currently a front-runner for the role, according to Deadline. Marvel is yet to officially confirm the news because they have to figure out the scheduling with Pascal, and they can’t proceed with casting other roles before locking down the actor who’ll lead the team as Reed Richards.

Even before eying this role, Pascal was one of the busiest actors working in Hollywood right now. He’s the leading star of Disney’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s The Last of Us, in addition to being attached to several high-profile films, starting with Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 and Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls.

If Pascal manages to officially secure this role, he’ll follow in the footsteps of Ioan Gruffudd and Miles Teller, who portrayed Reed Richards in the previous two incarnations of the Fantastic Four franchise. John Krasinski also made a brief cameo as this character in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The collaboration between Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua is the gift that keeps on giving, and their next project together is shaping up to be the most epic one yet. The two-time Oscar winner will play the legendary warrior Hannibal in Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming historical epic.

According to the film’s official logline, it centers on “real-life warrior Hannibal, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history” and “covers the pivotal battles he led against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War.”

Hannibal is best remembered for storming in Italy with his army, after crossing the Alps atop North African elephants, and his brilliant military tactics secured him a place in history books.

Washington reportedly wanted to play this character for 20 years, but he wasn’t ready to commit to a project of this scope because he was focused on raising his family. He’s finally ready to take on this role, and he found perfect partners in crime in his frequent collaborator Fuqua and the three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan.

The Hannibal biopic isn’t the only historical epic that Washington is attached to. He’ll reteam with Ridley Scott in Gladiator 2, also starring Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Derek Jacobi.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the cult anime Avatar: The Last Airbender was a long time coming, and its release date is just around the corner. The streaming giant gave us a taste of things to come by dropping the first teaser trailer for this hotly-anticipated series.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world divided into four nations ruled by different elements: water, earth, fire, or air. They lived in harmony for centuries, with the master of all four elements known as the Avatar keeping the peace between them, but all hell broke loose when the Fire Nation decided to rebel.

After many years of war and carnage, it’s up to the young Air Nomad named Aang to bring peace to the world ravaged by war. He joins forces with his friends Sokka and Katara and embarks on an action-packed quest to take his rightful place as the next Avatar.

Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, and Ian Ousley will lead the series as Aang, Katara, and Sokka. They’ll be joined by Dallas Liu, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Leung, Maria Zhang, Elizabeth Yu, and Lim Kay Siu in supporting roles.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender marks the second live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon anime, and it will premiere on this streaming service sometime next year.

The Bear became one of the biggest cultural phenomena to premiere on FX in the past few years, and it was just a matter of time before it was renewed. After knocking it out of the park with its second season, the critically acclaimed dramedy is officially coming back for another chapter.

The first season of The Bear centered on the young chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who left the world of fine dining behind to run the rundown Chicago sandwich shop after his brother’s death. The second season switched up the premise and showed Carmy and his crew trying to change their restaurant from the ground up and reopen it as a fine dining establishment.

Jeremy Allen White led the ensemble cast of The Bear, alongside Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson. He already won several accolades for his performance, including the SAG Award and Golden Globe.

Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, confirmed the show’s renewal in a statement and said they’re looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear.

“We’re so proud to partner with Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, and the rest of the creative team, as well as the brilliant cast led by Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable,” said Grad.

A24’s films are a gift that keeps on giving, and they got to film quite a few under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement this year. Death of a Unicorn is their latest high-profile project to wrap up production, and its star-studded cast will be led by Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd.

Rudd (Ant-Man) and Ortega (Wednesday) star as father and daughter whose weekend retreat turns into a nightmare after a disastrous hit-and-run. They end up running over a unicorn that just happens to be the latest target of an eccentric billionaire trying to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties.

In addition to Rudd and Ortega, this quirky project also stars Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Téa Leoni (Flirting with Disaster), Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Anthony Carrigan (Barry), Sunita Mani (GLOW), Jessica Hynes (Shaun of the Dead), and Stephen Park (Asteroid City).

Death of a Unicorn hails from the first-time director Alex Scharfman, who was also in charge of penning the script and producing the film via Secret Engine. The production already concluded under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement this summer, with A24 co-financing it with Ley Line Entertainment and taking charge of its global distribution.

The Von Erich family ruled the world of wrestling for quite some time, and it was just a matter of time before someone told their tale. Sean Durkin took matters into his own hands, and the first trailer for his upcoming film The Iron Claw starring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White is finally here.

Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene) joined forces with A24 to tell the tale of the highest highs and the lowest lows of the Von Erichs clan. They entered the world of wrestling during the ’60s and ruled it for quite some time, but their professional success was followed by many personal tragedies, sparking the talk about the Von Erichs curse.

The first trailer for this project is set to the beat of Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, and it sees the dynasty’s two most popular wrestlers – Kevin and Kerry Von Erich – using camaraderie to overcome their wrestling opponents and their own bullying father.

Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White lead the way as Kevin and Kerry Von Erich, while the supporting cast includes Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich, Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich, Maura Tierney as Doris Von Erich, and Lily James as Kevin’s wife, Pam Adkisson.

The Iron Claw will be released by A24 on December 22.

Wish is one of the most promising animated movies coming our way this fall and Disney is planning something huge for its Thanksgiving release. They just dropped the first full trailer for this magical fantasy film and announced additional voice cast members.

According to Disney’s official synopsis, Wish takes place in the magical kingdom of Rosas, where a sharp-witted idealist Asha makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force. She must join forces with a little ball of boundless energy called Star to save the kingdom of Rosas from its ruthless ruler, King Magnifico.

In addition to Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as King Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Valentino, the voice ensemble of Wish will include several newly announced cast members, including Angelique Cabral, Victor Garber, Natasha Rothwell, Jennifer Kumiyama, Evan Peters, Harvey Guillén, Ramy Youssef, Niko Vargas, Della Saba, and Jon Rudnitsky.

Wish was directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn, while Frozen’s Jennifer Lee co-wrote the script alongside Allison Moore. Wish will be released in honor of Disney’s 100th anniversary, and it’s supposed to tie together the themes explored by many of the studio’s signature films. It will hit the theatres on November 22, and its Disney+ release date is yet to be announced.
