Exclusive: Goodfellas Animation has boarded international sales on Andy Serkis’ animated adaptation of Animal Farm, based on the iconic novella by George Orwell.

The company will introduce the film to buyers in Cannes next week ahead of its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June.

Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes star Serkis has gathered an all-star voice cast featuring Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons, Andy Serkis, Kathleen Turner and Iman Vellani to bring the timeless allegory to life.

Directed by Serkis and written by Nick Stoller, Animal Farm is a modern adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel, one of the most widely read books in history with countless copies sold and translations in more than 250 languages.

The story follows a group of farm animals who rebel against their human owners and take over the farm,...

On May 9, David Mamet’s first directorial film effort in nearly 20 years, Henry Johnson, will be available for streaming on HenryJohnsonMovie.com. The film is a straightforward adaptation of Mamet’s own play, mounted at a black box theater in Venice in 2023 — garnering plenty of acclaim for both the writer and star Shia Labeouf.

The timing could not be better for Labeouf, 38, a highly gifted, scandal-prone actor who currently finds his nose pressed against the Hollywood glass amid fallout from a number of controversies. Not the least of them is a pending lawsuit from former girlfriend FKA Twigs accusing him of sexual assault and emotional distress. Labeouf has conceded to harmful behavior but denies the specific allegations and the matter is set to proceed to trial in September of this year.

In Henry Johnson, he plays Gene, a fast-talking and hyper-intelligent prisoner under whose spell the title character — a white-collar dupe played by Evan Jonigkeit,...

Kieran Culkin will have to wait a bit longer before he can add a Tony to his Succession Emmy and A Real Pain Oscar. | © Searchlight Pictures

Back in 2016, I wrote an article here when one of my favorite actresses, Jessica Lange, won a Tony for Long Day’s Journey into Night, thereby joining the club of elite actors who had achieved the Triple Crown of Acting. Only 24 actors have ever achieved this, and since Lange eight years ago, only two people have joined that list (Viola Davis in 2017 with her Emmy; Glenda Jackson in 2018 with her Tony).

I thought it would be fun to take a look at who is a realistic possibility to join that club. I’m reminded of it because, until just a few days ago, there was a chance that person was going to be Kieran Culkin! Culkin had been largely predicted to be...

For years, Kieran Culkin has steadily built a reputation as one of the finest and most versatile actors in Hollywood, gaining recognition for his role in Succession. At the 2025 Academy Awards, Kieran Culkin took home his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, marking the highest point in his rising career.

But while Kieran’s career reached new heights, it was his older brother, Macaulay Culkin, who had the most heartfelt reaction. Tuned in to only watch him win, Macauley couldn’t help but be emotional. After this, we can only say there’s no better big brother in the Culkin family than Macaulay Culkin.

The Tony Award nominations are out, but that isn’t the week’s most exciting theater headline. The big news: The entire run of Luigi: The Musical, a new comedy about Luigi Magione that’s premiering next month in San Francisco, is completely sold out, according to People.

Here’s the official synopsis from the production’s website: “Luigi: the Musical is a comedy that imagines the surreal scenario of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, sharing a prison with real-life inmates Sam Bankman-Fried and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.”

If that set-up sounds like opportunistic playwrights trying to cash in on multiple contemporary scandals, you wouldn’t be wrong. But as the show’s producers point out, the premise is also “rooted in a strange truth”: Mangione, Bankman-Fried and Diddy were all incarcerated in the same prison. Whoa!

Kieran Culkin is not averse to being on Broadway as long as his one condition is met. What’s that?But first, can we talk about Culkin’s two adorable children with Jazz Charton, son Wilder and daughter Kinsey?

You know, last we had a baby update from Culkin, he had won his first Oscar for his beautiful performance in Jesse Eisenberg’s ‘A Real Pain.’

During his speech, he alerted us to the fact that he had a standing deal with his wife that they’d have another baby if he brings home an Oscar.

He brought home the Oscar, so does this mean baby number three’s going to be announced soon? My baby powder is ready when you are.

Well, big weekly grosses and even bigger stars can’t guarantee a Tony Awards nomination.

Broadway does what Broadway wants, so no Best Play nominations (or anything else) for huge moneymaker Othello, and no Best Play noms for Good Night, and Good Luck, Stranger Things: The First Shadow and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Same for the critical favorite Cult of Love.

While Good Night and Dorian Gray weren’t nominated for Best Play, their big stars — George Clooney and Sarah Snook, respectively — were nominated for their performances, as expected. In fact, Dorian Gray, in which Snook plays all the characters from the Oscar Wilde novel, has the distinction of being the most nominated solo show in Tony history, placing in six categories: Snook’s performance, Kip Williams’ direction, and nods for scenic, lighting, sound and costume design.

The nominations for the 78th annual Tony Awards celebrating the best on Broadway for the 2024-25 season saw Hollywood take a starring role Thursday, when a diverse mix of names best known for movies and TV scored noms.

The acting categories included noms for two-time Oscar winner George Clooney, Daniel Dae Kim (Yellow Face) and Harry Lennix (Purpose) up for Actor in a Leading Role in a Play, while Actress in a Leading Role in a Play saw Mia Farrow (The Roommate), Stranger Things star Sadie Sink (John Proctor Is the Villain) and Succession Emmy winner Sarah Snook (The Picture of Dorian Gray) in the mix.

On the musical side, nominees included actors Darren Criss (Maybe Happy Ending) and Jonathan Groff’s turn as Bobby Darin (Just in Time), while Megan Hilty (Death Becomes Her) and Nicole Scherzinger (Sunset Blvd.) were among the actress noms.

Prime Video is ready with an entertainment-packed May this year. The upcoming month will see the much-anticipated sequel of the hit film A Simple Favor and the release of the much-anticipated mystery thriller series, The Better Sister. Just like every month, Prime Video is ready to overload you with great content. So, we’re here to tell you about the best 8 new movies and TV shows coming to Prime Video in May 2025.

Another Simple Favor (May 1) Credit – Amazon MGM Studios

Another Simple Favor is a mystery crime thriller and dark comedy film directed by Paul Feig from a screenplay co-written by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis. The 2025 sequel film follows Stephanie as she is invited to Emily’s extravagant wedding in Capri, Italy, but when she gets there, she once again finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery.

The 2025 Tony Awards nominations were unveiled Thursday morning, with the musicals Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her, and Maybe Happy Ending leading the way with 10 bids apiece in a loaded season on the boards.

There was plenty of expected good news for the likes of Audra McDonald (landing her record 11th nomination for Gypsy), Mia Farrow (scoring the first major peer-group awards nomination of her storied career for The Roommate), and fellow first-timers Nicole Scherzinger (Sunset Boulevard), Sarah Snook (The Picture of Dorian Gray), and Sadie Sink (John Proctor Is the Villain), it wasn't all bows and bouquets for stage set.

But with 42 musicals, plays, and revivals eligible — six more productions than last season — and several legitimate contenders vying for limited slots, there were more than a few notable snubs to go along with a handful of surprises that defied the odds. Here's our breakdown of the biggies.

Othello, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington, was entirely shut out of the 2025 Tony Award nominations.

While the play received mostly mixed reviews, it has been drawing crowds on Broadway and has frequently had the most expensive average ticket price in the industry, at $374.17 last week.

The new musical Redwood, starring Idina Menzel, was also entirely shut out of the Tony nominations, as was the musical The Last Five Years, starring Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren. McNeal, led by Robert Downey Jr. in his Broadway debut, did not receive any Tony nominations.

Though George Clooney got his first Tony Award nomination for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck, the play, which he co-wrote, did not receive a nod for best play, even as it has also been the highest grossing production on Broadway for the past several weeks.

Similarly, the celebrity-driven Glengarry Glen Ross did not get a...

Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her, and Maybe Happy Ending topped Thursday's Tony Awards nominations with 10 bids each.

Close behind with seven apiece are Dead Outlaw, John Proctor Is the Villain, Sunset Boulevard, and The Hills of California.

Buena Vista Social Club, Dead Outlaw, Death Becomes Her, Maybe Happy Ending, and Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical are up for Best Musical.

English,The Hills of California, John Proctor Is the Villain, Oh, Mary!, and Purpose are the Best Play nominees.

Among the acting nominees are George Clooney, Sadie Sink, Sarah Snook, and Nicole Scherzinger.

Clooney was nominated for Best Actor in a Play for Good Night, and Good Luck, his Broadway debut. Notable snubs in the category were Othello stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington.

Forty-two productions are eligible for Tony Award nominations this year – the announcements come Thursday morning – making many of the categories very, very competitive. Will the movie and TV stars take over the awards just as they’ve done at the box office? Is there room in the major categories for the high-tech items like Stranger Things: The First Shadow and The Picture Of Dorian Gray? And can anything stop Cole Escola and Oh, Mary! I wouldn’t bet on it.

The nominations for The 78th Annual Tony Awards will be announced Thursday, May 1, live from Sofitel New York on the Tony Awards official YouTube page at 9 a.m. Et. A selection of categories will be revealed live on CBS Mornings at 8:30 a.m. Et. A complete list of nominees will be available at TonyAwards.com immediately following the announcement.

The Tony Awards themselves are set for Sunday, June 8, airing...

A new musical and two original plays will lead the 2025 Tony Awards nominations, according to Gold Derby's official odds in 17 categories ahead of Thursday's announcement.

Death Becomes Her, a stage adaptation of the 1992 cult classic comedy film, will have the biggest tally of all shows with eight. It's expected haul follows its 12 nominations at the Outer Critics Circle last week, where it similarly bested all other shows. Two original musicals, Dead Outlaw and Maybe Happy Ending, will tie at six nominations apiece. Gypsy and Sunset Boulevard, which are our leading contenders for the Best Musical Revival prize, and British import Operation Mincemeat will also likely score well with nominators with five bids each.

Cole Escola's historical romp Oh, Mary! and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' fiery family drama Purpose will lead all plays and play revivals with five nominations each. This is Escola's Broadway debut as playwright and performer, while Jacobs-Jenkins...

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, the third movie in its magic-fueled heist franchise. The trailer is packed with flashy illusions, fast cuts, and a new generation of performers. But three movies in, it’s worth asking whether the magic act has truly mastered the art of the con.

With its latest installment on the horizon, the movie series continues to dazzle with spectacle yet struggles to deliver the clever precision that defines the genre’s best. If Now You See Me is truly about heists, it might be time the franchise took a few notes from the Ocean’s movie series, where clever antics make the magic real.

The 2024-25 Broadway season, which kicked off last June with a revival of the play Home and concluded with the openings of musicals Dead Outlaw and Real Women Have Curves this past Sunday, featured 42 musicals, plays, and revivals. With six more productions than last season, Tony nominators will have no shortage of works to consider when they meet to vote, which will no doubt make predictions even more challenging than usual.

Spoiler Warning: To those who have not watched "Succession" and read this article and complain about the massive spoilers, "I love you, but you are not serious people."

HBO's acclaimed series "Succession" immersed viewers in the lives of the Roy family, the owners of the media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo. At the head of the company is the family patriarch, Logan Roy (Brian Cox), one of the wealthiest, most powerful, and yes, most evil characters in recent television history.

Given Logan Roy's unimaginable wealth and influence as a media mogul, his tastes in housing reflect his domineering nature. Whenever he is not busy stepping on heads at company headquarters or playing emotional and intellectual mind games on his children, he spends much of his time in his luxury penthouse. And not just any penthouse, but one located on Fifth Avenue in New York City, across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Según anunció Deadline, Los Juegos del Hambre: Amanecer en la cosecha ya tiene a su Plutarch Heavensbee. Jesse Plemons dará vida a la versión joven del personaje que interpretó el difunto Philip Seymour Hoffman en la saga original.

Erin Westerman, copresidenta de Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, ha dicho: «Jesse es uno de los actores con más talento de su generación, con un historial demostrado de escoger sus papeles de forma selectiva. Nos sentimos honrados de que haya elegido dar su propia visión de una de las figuras más fascinantes de Panem, y creemos que su anterior colaboración con Philip Seymour Hoffman lo hace aún más especial. Su Plutarch será a la vez un homenaje al personaje que los fans ya conocen y un retrato que él hace suyo. Estamos impacientes por que el público lo vea».

Word of the Week: The papal 'conclave' is secretive. The word's origin explains why

The word "conclave" has never been uttered more than in the past six months. So before you (re)watch Conclave this weekend in anticipation of the real conclave, brush up on the word's etymology via NPR.

Studios and campaigners have until May 8 to finalize their 2025 Emmys submissions, and this year in particular, there seems to be more behind-the-scenes strategizing (and last-minute second-guessing) than ever before. After all, deciding whether a performer contends in lead vs. supporting vs. guest can mean the difference between winning a trophy — and being snubbed completely.

Two of the most talked-about Emmy category mysteries that still remain involve Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Allison Janney (The Diplomat).

Warning: this article contains massive spoilers for both of their shows, so read at your own risk!

Pedro Pascal

The show: The Last of Us (Season 2)

The character: Joel Miller, an initial survivor of the zombie apocalypse

The decision: Pascal previously earned a Best Drama Actor Emmy nomination for Season 1, where he was bested by Kieran Culkin (Succession). The shocking death of Pascal's character in Season 2, Episode 2 means he'll have much less screen time this season,...

The Golden Globes are no longer the first major awards show of the calendar year.

The Critics Choice Association has revealed that its 31st annual event will take place Jan. 4, 2026. This announcement comes one day after the Golden Globes picked the following Sunday, Jan. 11, as its awards date. Fun fact: the last time the Critics Choice Awards aired before the Golden Globes was nine years ago, when the 22nd Cca aired Dec. 11, 2016, and the 74th Globes aired Jan. 8, 2017 — both gave La La Land a Best Picture prize.

The Cca's television nominations will be announced Dec. 4, and the film nominations Dec. 5. A host for the 2026 ceremony has yet to be named; Chelsea Handler hosted last time.

Returning to the E! network for the second consecutive year, the telecast will also air live on USA Network beginning at 7 p.m. Et/Pt. Once again, the kudos will be held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, an upcoming prequel film revolving around Haymitch Abernathy, continues to round out its star-studded cast with one of the most exciting additions yet. Plutarch Heavensbee, previously portrayed by the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman, will be appearing in the new adaptation based on the best-selling book from franchise author Suzanne Collins. Longtime franchise director Francis Lawrence is set to helm Sunrise on the Reaping based on a screenplay written by Billy Ray.

According to Deadline, Jesse Plemons has joined Sunrise on the Reaping as Plutarch Heavensbee, the future leader of the rebellion. After being rumored to play the villain in Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie, Plemons finds his next big franchise role in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel. The acclaimed actor will have big shoes to fill after Hoffman made the role his own, but Plemons was certainly the longtime favorite to...

Nominations for the 2025 Outer Critics Circle Awards were announced Friday by Oh, Mary! stars Cole Escola and Conrad Ricamora. Winners for these kudos, which honor Broadway and off-Broadway productions, will be announced on May 12.

The musical Death Becomes Her dominated the pack with 12 nominations, more than any other show, followed by Maybe Happy Ending with nine citations. Stranger Things: The First Shadow led in the play categories with seven bids, followed by The Hills of California with six.

While there are no Tony Awards nominators within the ranks of the Outer Critics Circle, the list of nominations nevertheless provides important insight into what performances are registering with the industry during awards season. A major difference is that the Outer Critics Circle employs gender-neutral categories but still capped at five slots. So, the actors named here have muscled their way past a large field of competitors in an impressive showing of awards strength.

The hit Broadway musical Death Becomes Her starring Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard leads the list of nominations for this year’s Outer Critics Circle Awards, the organization announced this morning.

The musical garnered 12 nominations, including Outstanding New Musical and nominations for Simard and featured performer Christopher Sieber. Coming in at #2 was the musical Maybe Happy Ending starring Darren Criss with nine nominations.

In the non-musical play categories, Stranger Things: The First Shadow snared the most nominations, with a total of seven, followed by The Hills of California with six.

The winners of the 75th Anniversary Outer Critics Circle Awards will be announced on Monday, May 12, 2025 followed by an awards ceremony held on Thursday, May 22, 2025.

Nominees for the annual John Gassner Award — for a new American play, preferably by a new playwright — are: Becoming Eve by Emil Weinstein; Good Night, and Good Luck by George Clooney and Grant Heslov; Pre-Existing...

Looks like awards circuit habitués will have a little bit longer to recover over the winter holidays this season.

The Palm Springs Film Festival said Thursday that the date of its awards event is being moved back one day to Saturday, January 3. It had been scheduled for Friday, January 2.

The Palm Springs International Film Awards are usually the first big, awards season event to take place after New Year’s. Given the fact that AMPAS just revealed a new procedural rule indicating that voters must now watch all nominated films in each category in order to be eligible to vote in the final round, an extra day to watch screeners or attend a screening or just plain rest up is welcome.

Nearly all honorees at the Palm Springs International Film Awards went on to receive Oscar nominations, and four went on to win in their categories including Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin,...

The Invite will be about “a couple [who] invites the neighbors over, igniting an evening full of unexpected twists and turns, revealing deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality.”

Variety reports that Wilde has her cast with Seth Rogen starring in the film alongside Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz. The production has already started in Los Angeles.

De acuerdo con Deadline y confirmado posteriormente por la misma Lionsgate, el actor australiano Joseph Zada dará vida al joven Haymitch Abernathy en la película Los juegos del hambre: Amanecer en la cosecha, papel que fue interpretado anteriormente por Woody Harrelson. Junto a él, se ha anunciado que la también emergente Whitney Peak (Las escalofriantes aventuras de Sabrina) encarnará a Lenore Dove Baird, la novia de Haymitch.

Para quienes aún no tengan ubicado a Joseph Zada, conviene tomar nota. El joven actor ha empezado a hacerse un hueco en la industria.

Today, Prime Video announced the premiere date and revealed first-look images for the second season of the action-packed adult animation comedy, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy.

All eight episodes will debut exclusively on Prime Video on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

From creator Cirocco Dunlap and executive producers Maya Rudolph and Natasha Lyonne, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy follows daring surgeons (and inseparable best friends) Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak, who frequently risk everything to take on the most dangerous cases in the universe.

In season two of The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, doctors Sleech and Klak relish the fame of their recent success until a cyborg journalist starts digging a little too deep into Sleech’s past.

After Joel's death in Sunday's episode of The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal's Emmy category placement remains up in the air for now, but there is one category he most definitely will not be submitted in: Best Drama Guest Actor.

You might have missed it, but the TV Academy modified eligibility in the guest categories in January, one of its 2025 rule changes. The general guest eligibility rule remains unchanged: Performers can submit in guest if they appear in less than 50 percent of a show's season. The new addendum states that a performer who has been nominated or has won in a lead or supporting category is not eligible to submit in a guest category for playing the same role on the same show in subsequent years; they can only submit in lead or supporting.

The tweak is to prevent easy nominations and wins and name-checking, which is common in the guest races.

Dr. Sleech and Klak are about to clock in for their second shift at The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy. Collider is excited to exclusively share the first images from Season 2 of the Prime Video animated comedy, teasing more alien medical hijinks to come with Stephanie Hsu and Keke Palmer's daring surgeons and their colleagues. After just narrowly saving everyone from a mutated worm, the intergalactic besties are back to solve more dangerous medical mysteries from throughout the universe and get themselves into more trouble in the process. In addition to the first look, we can also confirm that all eight new episodes will be dropping on May 27.

Season 1 of Second Best Hospital introduced viewers to Sleech and Klak as they tackled deep-space STIs, illegal time loops, and, most importantly, anxiety-ingesting parasites. While their research into the latter nearly dooms the universe, they ultimately managed to save the...

It’s going to feature an extensive voice cast, including Seth Rogen, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Steve Buscemi, Gaten Matarazzo, Jim Parsons, Kathleen Turner, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson and Iman Vellani.

A classic novella first published in 1945, “Animal Farm” is a satirical political allegory about anthropomorphized animals who rebel against their human farmer owners in the hopes of creating a new society, but the story shows how new challenges can emerge and that revolution is just the beginning. Rogen leads the cast as the cunning pig named Napoleon.

Good Night and Good Luck, starring George Clooney, broke its own record for highest weekly gross for a play, bringing in $3.9 million last week, up close to $100,000 from when it broke the record the prior week, and playing to more than 100 percent capacity. 

The ticket price for the play creeped up slightly to $309.77 from $303.40 the prior week. 

The play was the highest grossing show in the industry last week, even as the popular shows Aladdin, Wicked and The Lion King played nine performances in an effort to capture the spring break crowds, rather than the typical eight. Wicked was the second highest earner on Broadway with $3.3 million, followed by Othello with $3.1 million, The Lion King with $2.9 million and Glengarry Glen Ross, starring Kieran Culkin, Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk, with $2.3 million. 

Othello, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington, continues to have the top ticket price on Broadway, at $376.03 last week.

Following the success of Succession, the show's creator Jesse Armstrong has continued his collaboration with HBO. The creator has switched from TV shows to an HBO Original film titled Mountainhead.

The project was announced in January this year, as the Emmy-winning filmmaker was set to write the script and executive produce with Frank Rich. New details came out in early April, as the film received the title of Mountainhead, with a release date on Max on May 31. Ahead of the new release, Mountainhead unveiled its first teaser.

The first details about Mountainhead were that it followed "A group of billionaire friends get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis." Now, the teaser suggests that the international financial crisis might happen because of the four billionaire friends.

But the others don't seem to be too concerned. "I think that's why I'm so excited about these atrocities.
