It’s been a while since Ben Stiller played a lead role in a major Hollywood movie, but he’s finally ready to step back in front of the camera! The beloved comedy actor will play the lead role in David Gordon Green’s upcoming film Nutcrackers.

Written by Leland Douglas, Nutcrackers will center on a work-obsessed Mike, who reluctantly travels to rural Ohio to look after his four rambunctious nephews after their parents die in a car accident. His three-day trip quickly turns into weeks of farm-life mayhem, and Mike quickly comes to realize he doesn’t need to find a home for his nephews because they’ve found one for him.

Stiller dedicated himself to his work behind the camera in recent years, and we haven’t seen him play a lead role since 2017 when he starred in Mike White’s Brad’s Status and Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories. He currently serves as director and executive producer of Apple TV+’s Severance, which received 14 Emmy nominations for its first season.

In addition to playing the lead role in Nutcrackers, Stiller will also produce it through his Red Hour Films banner, alongside his partner John Lesher, Rivulet’s Rob Paris and Mike Witherill, and Rough House’s Nate Meyer.

Awesome news Halloween fans! Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to Haddonfield as Laurie Strode for the next installment of the franchise.

The original Halloween movie, which premiered in 1978 was Curtis’ film debut. Since then, she returned to the franchise four times for sequels. Now, 40 years later, Curtis will be starring in the next film of the horror franchise.

Curtis took to social media and announced her return on Twitter, posting a photo of her on set next to a jack-o-lantern with a masked Michael Myers standing behind her in the doorway. She added the caption: “Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween.”

The new Halloween is co-written by comedian Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down) and filmmaker David Gordon Green, who will also direct the film. Director of the 1978 original horror film John Carpenter wrote on Facebook earlier this year that the duo’s vision for the new movie is simply “WOW.”

Curtis’ casting comes with little surprise as McBride is a fan of the original. He told EW that he just loves the original, adding that “there’s something so scary about how simple it was.” He also revealed that their ambition for the new installment is “to strip it down and get it back to [being] grounded in reality, which I think makes it scarier.”

The new Halloween will hit theaters on October 19, 2018.
