Following reports suggesting Dev Patel might be joining Scarlett Johansson in Jurassic City, more names are now in the casting mix.
Watching the film that may or may not be called Jurassic City come together in double quick time has been a fun process to observe. First David Leitch was directing, then he was out due to ‘creative differences’. Then, Gareth Edwards, the filmmaker behind Rogue One and The Creator was in, working on a script by original Jurassic Park writer, David Koepp.
Since then, Scarlett Johansson and Dev Patel are both rumoured to have signed up for the project which, unbelievably, is set to arrive in cinemas next summer.
While huge productions like this one aren’t well known for coming together quickly and then going on to be brilliant, we’re heartened by the stories that originally circulated suggesting that Universal was looking to fast track this production...

While he's been more known for swanning about in britches on Bridgerton (and earning acclaim for his work on recent miniseries Fellow Travelers), it appears Jonathan Bailey is ready to take on a whole other level of challenge. According to Deadline, the actor is now in early talks to join Scarlett Johansson in the cast of the next Jurassic World film.
Gareth Edwards is in the director's chair for the new entry, which reportedly will tell a new story set in the World, er, world, which means pivoting focus away from the likes of Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard (or the original Jurassic Park trio).

It’s almost time to return to the Ton for an all-new romance as Bridgerton‘s third season turns its attention to secret gossip columnist Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), a.k.a. Lady Whistledown, and her longtime crush Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). Trading in the enemies-to-lovers trope explored in Season 2’s fiery entanglement between Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and his bride Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), Season 3 explores the friends-to-lovers angle, one that showrunner Jess Brownell tells TV Insider “lent itself more naturally to rom-com sensibility.” Liam Daniel/Netflix “We’re definitely leaning into the humor and the playfulness and the coziness between the couple,” Brownell teases. As fans of the Netflix hit have seen over the years, Penelope has pined from afar, embracing her wallflower status, but as the Season 3 tagline points out, “even a wallflower can bloom.” Eager to break free of the family who doesn’t recognize her brilliance,...

Fellow Travelers stars Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey waded into the sex-scenes debate at Deadline Contenders TV event Saturday. The actors got intimate on the set as characters Hawk and Tim in the Showtime limited series based on Thomas Mallon’s book that follows their love affair in the 1950s.
“I just feel like the characters were never the same after the scenes as they were before, which to me is always a sign that it’s integral to the story,” said Bomer, who plays Hawk. “The way they connected was so reflective of their societal conditions. It was therapeutic. It’s not always the most comfortable thing, but it was always an extension of their relationship.”
Bailey, who plays Tim, said the characters could not be open about their sexuality in the ‘50s. So their love scenes became the only place they truly could be themselves.

Less than 24 hours after unveiling exclusive Wicked footage in Las Vegas, filmmaker Jon M. Chu found his way into the spotlight of another CinemaCon stage inside Caesars Palace, this time for a special luncheon in his honor at which he revealed secrets about filming the two-part epic musical.
“It was pretty magical last night,” Chu told The Hollywood Reporter’s co-editor-in-chief Nekesa Mumbi Moody, who moderated a fireside chat with the filmmaker after he was presented a trophy for cultural impact in filmmaking (by his In the Heights star Ariana Greenblatt). Chu has been in the editing room while managing a full household of four young children, so he said that being in Las Vegas where he could sleep and hang out with others, “I’m, like, ‘Let’s go.’”

Jon M. Chu revealed it was “heartbreaking” and “very hurtful” for him when he learned his 2021 musical “In the Heights” was being released in theaters and on streaming via HBO Max on the same day.
Speaking to a crowd of exhibitors at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas on Thursday, Chu lamented the “Project Popcorn” campaign put in place by former Warner Media CEO Jason Kilar back in 2021, in which Warner Bros. took its entire theatrical slate for the year, including films like “In the Heights,” “Dune,” and “The Matrix Resurrections,” and put them in theaters and on streaming day-and-date, all as a means to drive subscribers to HBO Max.
When he was asked how “In the Heights” prepared him for thinking about his next film “Wicked,” another movie musical adaptation, this time for Universal, he said it made him realize the importance of theatrical.

“Even a wallflower can bloom.”
That’s the cute tagline for “Bridgerton” Season 3, which premieres in two blocks on Netflix in May and June. On Thursday, Netflix released a trailer for the third installment of Shondaland’s hit historical romance that should set fans’ hearts a-flutter.
Season 3 follows the friends-to-lovers courtship of Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). Penelope, the pseudonymous author of the Lady Whistledown gossip column, has always been an observer of love, but never a participant. So when Colin, whom she’s had a crush on for ages, returns to London, he decides to help her find a husband, as a sort of penance for the cruel things she heard him say about her last season. But he starts to suspect that he knows the right man for her very well, know what I’m saying?

Netflix and Shondaland have released the official trailer and a set of new images for ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3. The trailer teases the steamy, friends-to-lovers romantic beginnings of Nicola Coughlan’s Penelope Featherington and Luke Newton’s Colin Bridgerton.
The eight-episode third season finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) having finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters.

But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly.

Dear reader, does star-crossed romance ever go out of style? Apparently not, based on the rabid response to Netflix's ever-popular "Bridgerton" series that's now set to debut its third torrid season. By now, even those who don't watch the streaming phenomenon can't help but feel intimately familiar with the politics of the Ton, their fondness for extravagant parties, and the heartrending tendency for even the most different of friends -- and oftentimes even enemies -- to fall hopelessly in lust love with each other.
That's the main theme of the season 3 trailer, newly released by Netflix this morning. It's actually been quite some time since season 2 came and went in March of 2022, which centered on the roguish Viscount Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and his fiery attraction to Kate Sheffield (Simone Ashley), and the familiar voiceover narration is keenly aware of that fact.

As the voice of Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews) declares at the top of the “Bridgerton” Season 3 trailer — it has been far too long.
After more than two years away, the steamy Netflix series based on Julia Quinn’s novels returns, this time to tell the story of Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan). Unlike previous seasons, both leads in this installment are already familiar to the hungry “Bridgerton” fanbase, as is the romantic trope of friends to lovers.
The trailer for Part 1 (four episodes) shows Penelope and Colin rekindling their friendship after Colin returns from Europe so strikingly handsome that even his siblings notice; he offers to coach Penelope in how to charm suitors so that she may find a suitable husband, but the teaching process has Colin wondering about his own feelings. That’s all complicated by the arrival of Lord Debling (Sam Phillips), who is actively seeking a wife.

Based on the book by Gregory Maguire, the hit Broadway stage musical "Wicked" opened on October 30, 2003, at the Gershwin Theatre, and has been running there ever since. It recently surpassed "Cats" to become the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history, although it has a long way to go to supplant "The Lion King" as the third-longest. The musical is a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," depicting the Wicked Witch of the West as a young green-skinned woman named Elphaba whose reputation has been wildly misunderstood. The show won three Tonys upon its release, and the accompanying soundtrack album won an Emmy. One might say that "Wicked" is very ... Popular.

Universal ended its CinemaCon presentation with Wicked last year, and they continued to beat the drum for director Jon M. Chu’s feature take of the Broadway musical with a colorful spectacle. Every attendee at Caesars Colosseum was given a faux tulip that lit up in varying colors, in particular pink and green, creating a great visual before Jeff Goldblum aka the Wizard took the stage to introduce Chu and producer Marc Platt.
Chu regaled: “I was a Silicon Valley kid, and as a matter of luck, I was there when Wicked was workshopped in San Francisco. I’ll never forget it; it imprinted on me permanently.”
He was joined by Michelle Yeoh and Jonathan Bailey. Yeoh praised Chu for casting her in roles in which the filmmaker “knows her so well.”
But the big surprise came when the witches themselves, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, stepped on stage.

Clive Owen hopes to divide and conquer with his dual Emmy submissions this year.
With two competing limited series in the Emmys race, the star will be submitting his two acclaimed performances in AMC’s “Monsieur Spade” and Hulu’s “A Murder at the End of the World” in separate acting categories, Variety has learned exclusively.
For his work as detective Sam Spade in AMC’s neo-noir miniseries “Monsieur Spade,” he’ll remain as expected in the highly competitive lead actor in a limited series or TV movie race, where he’ll face potential contenders such as Jon Hamm (“Fargo”) and Tom Hollander (“Feud: Capote vs. the Swans”). However, regarding his turn in Hulu’s psychological thriller “A Murder at the End of the World,” he’ll seek Emmy consideration as a supporting actor, eyeing competition in actors like Jonathan Bailey (“Fellow Travelers”) and Lewis Pullman (“Lessons in Chemistry”), and...

When Nicola Coughlan takes center stage on Bridgerton Season 3, her parents won’t be watching the same version as the rest of the world.
The Penelope Featherington actress has revealed in a new interview that she will have a PG cut of the steamy romance drama for her parents to watch.
Coughlan, born in Galway, Ireland, is from an Irish Catholic family.
“It’s literally written into my contract,” she dished on SiriusXM Hits 1 earlier this week.
“People think I’m like saying it as a joke. I just don’t want to. I grew up Irish Catholic. That’s just not how we vibe.”
The Derry Girls alum said that her mother “didn’t know it was gonna be saucy” when watching the first season.

Bridgerton’s steamiest Season 3 scenes will definitely be Nsfw (not safe for work), but apparently they’re also Nsfncp (not safe for Nicola Coughlan’s parents).
The upcoming season of the Netflix series will follow Coughlan’s Penelope and Luke Newton’s Colin as they fight their feelings while falling hopelessly in love. And, according to the Julia Quinn novels on which the series is based, things will get pretty saucy. (Get a sneak peek.)

Pssst, Mr. and Mrs. Coughlan. Only watch the Bridgerton DVD. Do Not turn on the television.
Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington on the Shondaland bodice-ripper, revealed in an interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 that she has it written into her contract that Netflix and Shondaland must provide a PG-version of Bridgerton for her family’s viewing.
“It’s literally written into my contract,” she said. “People think I’m like saying it as a joke. I just don’t want to. I grew up Irish Catholic. That’s just not how we vibe.”
It all dates to her mother’s surprise at the show’s nudity upon watching season 1. “When she first saw Bridgerton, she didn’t know it was gonna be so saucy,” Coughlan recalled. “And then you get a bottom, Jonathan Bailey’s lovely bottom, about two minutes into the first episode ever. And she was like,...

Nicola Coughlan plays Penelope Featherington, the youngest daughter in the Featherington family, in Netflix’s historical romance-drama Bridgerton. Coughlan’s character was portrayed as a reluctant debutante in Regency-era London. The Big Mood actress had several steamy scenes throughout the two seasons of the show. Since Coughlan’s family is Irish Catholic and would not be happy about these scenes in the series, the actress had a special clause written into her contract.
