“This Is Us” creator Dan Fogelman is back with a new thriller series full of twists, turns and of course, backstabbing.
In “Paradise,” Sterling K. Brown stars as Agent Xavier Collins, whose life is turned upside-down when he finds James Marsden’s President Cal Bradford dead during a routine morning. As the murder investigation for Cal kicks off, “Paradise” reveals a dystopian twist that altered the U.S. as the characters knew it.
In addition to Brown and Marsden, “Paradise” stars Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Krys Marshall, Jon Beavers and Nicole Brydon Bloom, among others.

Sterling K. Brown is about to discover that some secrets are better left unsaid, and tinfoil hats aren’t just for crackpots. The number of things the government doesn’t share with the public would fill the Grand Canyon to overflow, and the trailer for Hulu‘s upcoming series, Paradise, pulls the curtain back on a startling truth that could change the course of American history.
From the mind of Dan Fogelman, the upcoming drama series stars Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, and Julianne Nicholson, among others. Paradise “is set in a serene community inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent individuals. But this tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds.”

Disney has a way of keeping things in the family as it’s not uncommon for the studio to team up with actors they’ve previously worked with across their various brands. Throughout the Disney branded projects you’ll see many familiar faces crossing over from the worlds of Marvel, Star Wars, Disney Animation, and Pixar with the studio often tapping actors who have brought success in past projects to help lead new movies and shows.
So perhaps for that reason, it will likely come as no surprise to fans that Disney is apparently set to team up with two of the biggest stars in the MCU for a pair of upcoming projects that will see the Marvel alums taking on a pair of iconic Disney animated characters!
Kathryn Hahn is reportedly being eyed to play Mother Gothel in the live-action 'Tangled' movie

In 2024, Amy Adams appeared in the movie Nightbitch, and although the critical ratings are somewhat divisive, there's a chance that this film could win Adams her very first Oscar. Based on a novel of the same name by Rachel Yoder, Nightbitch follows an unnamed protagonist simply known as Mother. After abandoning her art career to care for her toddler, Mother begins to feel restricted, and as a result, starts to notice strange changes in her body. More specifically, Mother starts to believe that she and other mothers are turning into dogs.
Adams has enjoyed an outstanding career over the course of several decades, and arguably, her somewhat odd role in Nightbitch is not a huge surprise. Adams has proven her incredible versatility, from portraying a naive Disney princess in Enchanted to a conniving liar in American Hustle. Adams is not afraid to act in unique worlds or take on heavy characters.

Nightbitch's cast extends boasts some impressive talent opposite Amy Adams' commanding performance. Nightbitch is a black comedy riff on a classic creature feature, combining the themes of films like An American Werewolf in London with an exploration of motherhood. The film centers around Amy Adams' nameless Mother, who finds herself increasingly frustrated by her domestic life as a mother and wife above all else. Mother finds new freedom in the evenings however, especially as she steadily seems to begin transforming into a dog.
Although the overall film received mixed reviews from critics, Amy Adams' Nightbitch has become a streaming success on Hulu. While the film is anchored by Amy Adams' impressive central performance, the movie also features a strong supporting cast who bring out different shades of the lead character.

Before "La La Land" was causing chaos at the Oscars, musicals were putting the ceremony in another mini-crisis back in 2008. That was the year that saw the box office hit "Enchanted" (a Disney kids film starring Amy Adams) nominated for three songs: "Happy Working Song," "So Close," and "That's How You Know." Those tunes lost to a ditty from the lesser-known Irish film "Once," titled "Falling Slowly."
The year before, another popular musical in the form of "Dreamgirls" (which is about a 1960s music trio and stars Beyoncé) was also nominated for three songs, all of which also lost to a movie with only one nomination. That time the winner was "I Need to Wake Up" from Davis Guggenheim and Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." This was the first time a documentary had ever won the award.

The terms "heartthrob" and "movie star" often go hand in hand, as Hollywood was built on stories of young, attractive people. In most live-action projects on both the big and small screens, there is usually an actor meant to be the main eye candy, or at the very least, be pleasant for the audience to look at. Although this approach to casting is without a doubt shallow, as actors should be hired for their skill of the craft, heartthrobs still exist in modern cinema. But, thankfully, many viewers are sensitive enough not to objectify actors.
Hollywood heartthrob culture reached a fever pitch in the 2000s, when most films premiered exclusively in theaters and people still read magazines detailing the lives of their favorite celebrities. While pop culture has largely moved away from declaring which actors receive heartthrob statuses, it is essential to reflect on a time when an actor could...

Amy Adams' new horror-comedy with a 59% Rotten Tomatoes score has become a streaming success. After beginning her career in Hollywood with small roles in films and television shows, Adams' breakthrough came with her performance in 2005's Junebug, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. However, it was her portrayal of the spirited Giselle in Disney's Enchanted that showcased her versatility and charm, cementing her status as a leading lady.
With her ability to embody a wide range of characters, Adams continued to garner critical acclaim with her nuanced performances in films like Doubt, The Fighter, The Master, American Hustle, and Vice – all of which earned her additional Oscar nods.

Stephen Schwartz will see you now. The worthier wizard of “Wicked” is the one who wrote one of Broadway’s all-time top song scores and now, a little over two decades later, has overseen the transition of that music into a film that is almost certainly on the fast track for Best Picture contention. He is not the only veteran of the seminal Broadway team on board for the music, either, as the soundtrack finds him rejoined by the stage production’s original arranger and music supervisor, Stephen Oremus.
It’s a world-class Team of Stephens. Beyond having been the primary instigator behind turning “Wicked” into a stage musical (drawn from Gregory Maguire’s book), Schwartz is renowned for winning six Tonys and three Oscars as the composer and/or lyricist of the shows “Pippin” and “Godspell” and films like “Enchanted.” Oremus, meanwhile, is a Tony winner for his orchestrations...

Disney's Enchanted, a beloved classic with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, is an excellent movie to watch this holiday season. Enchanted has stellar songs, a star-studded cast, and a compelling narrative. The movie even has a sequel, Disenchanted, although it is not nearly as successful as its predecessor. Like the title, the characters are enchanting, from Prince Edward's (James Marsden) dimwitted and kind character, to Queen Narissa's (Susan Sarandon) cunning plans, to Giselle's (Amy Adams) optimistic and romantic personality. Although Enchanted's Giselle is not an official Disney Princess, she is still widely beloved and one of the best unofficial Disney Princesses.
Enchanted is also one of Disney's rare hybrid films — a movie that contains animation and live-action, although Enchanted is predominantly the latter. Regardless, the combination is a key aspect of the film's storytelling. The cast comprises many favorites, also including Patrick Dempsey, Idina Menzel, and Timothy Spall. Enchanted...

Amy Adams' 2024 horror-comedy movie is about to have its streaming debut. Adams' first major role was in Steven Spielberg's 2002 movie Catch Me If You Can as Brenda Strong, a naive hospital nurse that Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) falls in love with, although the relationship is ultimately doomed. More recognition, including Adams' first Academy Award nomination, followed her performance in the 2005 comedy-drama Junebug. In the 2007 musical movie Enchanted, Adams cemented herself as a leading actor through her portrayal of Giselle.
Many of the projects considered Amy Adams' best movies would come in the years that followed, including the science-fiction drama Arrival directed by Denis Villeneuve.

One of the most famous Broadway songs ever is “Defying Gravity” from Wicked. Idina Menzel performed the song in the initial production of Wicked, and many people love her version of the song from the musical’s original cast recording. However, Menzel also gave us another rendition of the song that is probably the most misguided cover ever.
Idina Menzel worked with a music legend to make an awful ‘Defying Gravity’
Everyone has covered “Defying Gravity,” including Cynthia Erivo in the 2024 Wicked film adaptation. It’s been done by so many Broadway and West End performers, and there is no shortage of metal covers on YouTube. Some fans even like to combine it with Mendel’s signature song: “Let It Go” from Frozen.
Menzel attempted to transition into the world of top 40 music by putting out an album called I Stand. The record was produced by Glen Ballard, the hitmaker...

Amy Adams has had a prolific career full of numerous high-rated films. She is getting praise for her latest project, Nightbitch, which sees her play a disgruntled mother and housewife who is both plagued and invigorated by a slew of mysterious canine visions. ScreenRant's review of Nightbitch called Adams' performance finds "the perfect balance between joyful liberation and the underlying fear that motherhood has changed her forever." So far, Adams' performance has been critically recognized through her nomination for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.
Overall, though, Nightbitch is a very different performance than the kind of movie that Adams is used to. The 2024 film is a surrealist horror piece; much of Adams' career has been more conventional dramas.

"Nightbitch" has a lot going for it, at least in theory. For one thing, the film hails from director Marielle Heller, the filmmaker behind wonderful movies like "The Diary of a Teenage Girl," "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" (my personal favorite of her films so far), and "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." On top of that, it stars Amy Adams, one of the best performers working today — an actor able to portray both a bubbly Disney princess in "Enchanted" and a solemn, haunted linguist in "Arrival". Then you have the fact that the movie is called "Nightbitch." What a wonderful title! Throw in some genuine female body horror, and you've got yourself a stew, baby!
Sadly, all of these promising details crumble to dust once you sit down and watch the film, which is clumsy, awkward, and saddled with some of the worst voice over narration in recent memory.

Updated Nov. 30: Broadway musicals adapted to the screen are an erratic genre at the box office, despite Miramax’s multi-Oscar winning Chicago reviving the long-dormant Hollywood genre back in 2002 with $306.8M WW. Yet for every Les Miserables ($442.7M) hit from Universal, there were massive misfires like Dear Evan Hansen and Cats. This weekend, Universal defied the odds with their feature take of the $5 billion-grossing Broadway stage show Wicked, opening to $112.5M domestic, $162.5M worldwide as of Monday morning.
Here’s all the records that Wicked broke in its opening weekend:
The Highest Grossing Movie Ever Based on a Broadway Musical at the Domestic Box Office with $214M and counting as of Nov. 30.

Netflix's animated musical Spellbound features an exciting voice cast led by West Side Story's Rachel Zegler as Ellian, the princess of Lumbria. The story, told in the vein of a fairytale, sees the princess go on an important quest after her parents are turned into monsters. Her quest takes her on an adventure through her kingdom and into the Dark Forest, but she and her group are surrounded by song throughout, helping her navigate her feelings and the forest to Spellbound's ending at the pond of light.
Spellbound's music was composed by well-known film composer Alan Menken, known for his work on Disney movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, Enchanted, and many more, with lyrics written by his familiar collaborator Glenn Slater. Spellbound's original songs help explain the Spellbound characters' emotions throughout the movie, as well as outlining pieces of the plot. Spellbound's soundtrack is variously fun and emotional,...

Classic rock and Broadway music aren’t associated with each other, but they sometimes overlap in amazing ways. For example, Queen’s Brian May once played guitar on a version of “Defying Gravity” from Wicked that is incredible. It might be the best version of the song out there. It also proved that the sentiment of the song works better in a hard rock context.

The one that has become the most famous is the show-stopper “Defying Gravity.” Part of the reason why the song is so ubiquitous is its incredible melody courtesy of Stephen Schwartz.

The kindhearted and beautiful Enchanted heroine Giselle would make the perfect Disney Princess, but she's mysteriously absent from the company's official line-up. Audiences first met Giselle (Amy Adams) in 2007 when Enchanted hit theaters. A blend of classic Disney 2D animation and live-action, Enchanted sees the animated Giselle exiled from her kingdom of Andalasia and transported to the loud, cynical live-action world of New York City. A total fish out of water, Giselle eventually finds her happily ever after while learning that the world is a lot more complex than she thought.
Enchanted was a smash hit with audiences and critics alike, earning over $340 million at the worldwide box office (via Box Office Mojo) and a Certified Fresh score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. The pundits praised Enchanted's smart sendup of fairy tale tropes, and were particularly impressed with Adams' performance as Giselle, particularly because it was her first time leading a film.

Andy Samberg has fondly recalled how Amy Adams refused to do a Saturday Night Live song with The Lonely Island because of its raunchy subject matter, and the movie it was supposed to be parodying. Saturday Night Live's best skits have often parodied pop culture media and real-world events, such as the recurring Celebrity Jeopardy! skit or the show's mature take on the character Gumby. Some of its more memorable sketches were done by the comedy trio The Lonely Island, consisting of Sandberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone.
Speaking on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast episode 32 (via Variety), Samberg recalled how, at one point, they were going to make a sketch alongside Adams spoofing her 2007 fantasy film Enchanted. The sketch would see her reprise her role as Giselle and Samberg portray Robert, having the pair become an old couple at a picnic. One gets stung by a scorpion,...

Amy Adams took her princess responsibilities very seriously after she starred in Disney’s Enchanted in 2007. The film marked a breakthrough for the actress, ushering in a young demographic of viewers who only knew her as the girl who stumbled out of a fairytale. It also brought her new opportunities, like a hosting stint on Saturday Night Live in 2008. Not wanting to shatter the illusion for her audience, Adams declined a particularly raunchy Lonely Island skit on the show.

Andy Samberg praised Amy Adams during a recent episode of the “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly) for rejecting the comedy group’s pitch for her to star in a raunchy “Saturday Night Live” digital short. Adams was hosting “SNL” in 2008, a year after winning raves for her leading turn in Disney’s “Enchanted.” Samberg remembered the actor being loyal to her Disney fans, so much so that she had to protect them from The Lonely Island’s “very dirty” sketch pitch.
“I’m not gonna go into great detail about it, but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams, and it was very dirty,” Samberg said of the lost sketch. “It was basically like we were both really old and we were having a picnic, old people couple, and one of us gets stung by a scorpion.

Andy Samberg and Lonely Island, who hit big with raunchy SNL songs/sketches for Natalie Portman and Justin Timberlake, had something extra filthy in mind when Amy Adams came to host in 2008. On the latest The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast, Samberg said, “I’m not gonna go into great detail about it, but it was a song that would have been a duet with me and Amy Adams, and it was very dirty.”
Here’s the bit you never got to see: Samberg and Adams would have played an elderly couple enjoying a picnic in the park. “And one of us gets stung by a scorpion,” he said, revealing a ludicrous twist. “And then I’m dying and the one lament on my deathbed is that we didn’t explore things more sexually in our life, and it’s this huge up anthem about that.”

While speaking on a recent episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers rewatch podcast, Andy Samberg — one-third of the trio that also includes Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone — recalled a behind-the-scenes moment where the Nightbitch actress declined to film a short that might have been upsetting to some young fans of Enchanted.

Released in theaters on August 2, 2024, Harold and the Purple Crayon broke into Netflixs top 10 after an October 31 streaming release. The Oscar-nominated director Carlos Saldanha utilizes the actors expertly, ensuring that their background experiences fit perfectly with their Harold and the Purple Crayon characters.
Although there are some crucial differences, Harold and the Purple Crayon shares the same basic premise as the book. When Harold and his friends draw a portal into the real world, they must seek help to return to their magic homeworld. While waiting for the portal to open back up, Harold, Moose, and Porcupine set out to draw magic in the life of a family of two.

Moana 2 has revealed which songs are being submitted for Oscar consideration, and the choices highlight an unusual Oscar “rule” Disney inspired!
Whenever a new Disney animated movie hits, folks are ready for a song from it to be nominated for an Oscar and, more often than not, winning. It’s been that way since the 1990s and has led to some intriguing choices and winners.
With Moana in 2016, it was no shock that Tony-award-winning writer/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda provided some great songs. The one nominated for the Oscar was “You’re Welcome,” which lost the award to “City of Stars” from La La Land.
Miranda won’t be handling the writing duties for Moana 2. Instead, the songs come from Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, best known for the acclaimed unofficial Bridgerton: The Musical and getting a huge break with this film.

In the paperwork identifying which tunes should be considered for the best original song Oscar for Disney’s forthcoming animated musical Moana 2, the company could have chosen any number of high-quality options featured on the film’s soundtrack, but, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, the studio is submitting just two: “Beyond” and “Can I Get a Chee Hoo?”
Both numbers feature music and lyrics by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear. “Beyond,” which also includes Pacific choral vocals written and arranged by Opetaia Foa’i, is essentially this film’s version of the first Moana’s “How Far I’ll Go” (the only song submitted for the 2016 film, and one which wound up with a nomination). “Beyond” is the classic Disney “I want” anthem and is performed in the film by the actress who plays the title character, Auli’i Cravalho (alongside Rachel House in the 2024 film). Meanwhile, “Can I Get a Chee Hoo?...

“I’ve had people be like, ‘Oh my gosh, you looked awful,’” Amy Adams says with an eye roll as she reflects on her physical appearance in her latest film, “Nightbitch,” about a struggling stay-at-home mom who — go with us here — sometimes turns into a dog. “I was like, ‘You do realize that’s what I look like in my life, right?’”
Considering the role sees Adams bounding around on all fours, six nipples swaying in the breeze, and chowing down on a bowl of meatloaf on hands and knees, some frumpy clothes and frizzy hair hardly feel like the bravest part of her performance.
In Marielle Heller’s surreal, often biting examination of motherhood, Adams’ character is upset over having given up a fulfilling career as an artist to become her baby’s primary caregiver (a role she finds stifling), with only her clueless husband (Scoot McNairy) to help her — or not.

Idina Menzel's most underrated role is in the 2007 film Enchanted. Surprisingly, this is one of the very few screen roles where Menzel doesn't sing. Menzel is most famous for her musical roles as Maureen in Rent and Elsa in Frozen, as well as her groundbreaking Broadway career. Meanwhile, in Enchanted, Menzel plays Robert's (Patrick Dempsey) girlfriend, Nancy Tremaine. However, when Giselle (Amy Adams) ends up with Robert, Nancy leaves with Prince Edward (James Marsden) and lives happily ever after in Andalasia.
Although she doesn't sing in Enchanted, Menzel returned for the film's sequel, joining Disenchanted's cast. As well as getting the chance to sing in this installment, Menzel is reunited with most of the original cast from the first installment and expands upon her role as Nancy, now the queen of Andalasia. Nancy's role in the sequel is a lot bigger, with more effect on the plot's outcome in Disenchanted's ending,...

Barbie was a phenomenon, but the story is strikingly similar to Amy Adams fantasy romcom movie, Enchanted. In Enchanted, Amy Adams character, Giselle, finds herself taken from a fairy-tale world to the real world, where there are no happy endings. Like Barbies journey in Barbie, Giselle goes through an adventure of self-actualization that leaves Giselle unable to return to who she used to be. Barbie, which felt so modern and fresh, has a lot in common with Enchanted, which came out almost two decades ago.
Barbie and Enchanted are both meta-commentaries on feminism, a fun gender-bent twist on the traditional heros journey. Enchanted was released in 2007 and explored many of the same themes as Greta Gerwig's acclaimed Barbie, but did not get the same praise because it was marketed as more of a childrens movie than an Oscar-worthy exploration of womanhood. Nevertheless, the similarities between the two projects are undeniable.

Nightbitch made waves with its 2024 Toronto International Film Festival premiere, a horror-comedy about a mother feeling harried by the pressures and double standards for women in modern society and possibly feeling hairy because she's turning into a dog. Star and producer Amy Adams is no stranger to award-worthy work, having received nearly universal critical acclaim with movies such as The Fighter, The Master, American Hustle, and Arrival. She is also an actor with her finger on the pulse of pop culture, a power she's tapped into time and time again in projects like Enchanted and Man of Steel.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Nightbitch offers a fascinating mix of both. Based on Rachel Yoder's novel of the same name, the movie is written and directed by Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), extrapolating on the supernatural...

Kamala Harris is making it clear: she’s a fan of Taylor Swift, as opposed to former President Donald Trump.
The Vice President’s campaign followed her opponent’s “I hate Taylor Swift!” declaration on social media with a statement, incorporating over two dozen references to the 34-year-old singer-songwriter, who recently endorsed Kamala for President in the 2024 election.
The campaign’s release, called “Trump’s Bad Week (Taylor’s Version),” begins: “We’re pretty sure it’s Safe (& Sound) to say Donald Trump’s week has him Down Bad. Mr. Not-at-all-Fine has spent this week working through his feelings, whining about his Champagne Problems…”

“His rambling, yelling and constant conspiracy theories have many asking of The Man is ‘too emotional’ to be president. Call It What You Want, but it’s Nothing New for the Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” the statement continues, via spokesperson Sarafina Chitika.

Amy Adams has only been away from movie screens for a couple years. Her last credit is 2022’s “Disenchanted.” But Saturday night at the Toronto Film Festival felt like the return of an actor who’s been sorely missed, judging from the massive ovation Adams received after the world premiere of Marielle Heller’s new “Nightbitch.”
Adams’ complex, bravura performance fits right in with her other roles of self-actualization in “Junebug,” “Enchanted” and “Sharp Objects.” Here, in a film that combines domestic struggles, comedy, direct-to-camera address, social satire and magic, Adams plays a mother who finds herself transforming into a big, strong, beautiful dog.
Onstage after the premiere, Adams explained that she was drawn to the human qualities of the material. “One of the wonderful explorations of the film is about the isolation that comes from [motherhood]. The transformation from motherhood to parenthood is a shared experience that isn’t often shared.

Since it first hit theaters in 1975, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has been a spooky season mainstay and a staple for late-night moviegoers. Based on the stage musical of the same name — which came out two years prior — the cult classic introduces a young couple, Janet Weiss and Brad Majors (Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick), whose car breaks down near a mysterious mansion; when they call on the house to ask for help, they're met by a fascinating cast of characters, to say the absolute least.
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is referred to as a "cult classic" for a reason; as Roger Ebert once put it, "it was ignored by pretty much everyone" when it originally came out. These days, pretty much every major city offers midnight viewings of the movie, inviting audiences to dress up, throw things at the screen, and participate while the movie screens. So what...

Enchanted cards are one of the most exciting parts of any Disney Lorcana expansion, and the best Enchanted cards of Shimmering Skies certainly live up to that ideal. As the rarest cards in Disney Lorcana, Enchanteds can be hard to find in the wild, and opting for standard variants of each is often the more feasible strategy. With exclusive foil art that stands out from the pack, however, pulling an Enchanted is definitely a thrilling moment for any collector.
Shimmering Skies also features a minor re-design to the style of Enchanted cards, making the info boxes take up less space so that the art can properly stretch to every border of the card. This makes Shimmering Skies Enchanted cards even more striking at a glance, and the coolest ones could easily be the pride of any Disney Lorcana collection.

Amy Adams believes she is slowly turning into a canine in Nightbitch, and here’s the trailer for the incoming movie.
Amy Adams has been nominated for an Academy Award six times – for Junebug, Doubt, The Fighter, The Master, Vice and American Hustle. It’s something of an oversight that none of them were for her pitch perfect performance as Disney princess Giselle in 2007’s Enchanted, a role she reprises in 2022 sequel Disenchanted.
Her next role in the dark comedy horror Nightbitch has exactly the kind of one line elevator pitch premise that could attract attention come awards season – a stressed mother begins to turn into a dog.

It's often said that motherhood changes a person — physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. In Can You Ever Forgive Me? director Marielle Heller's upcoming horror comedy Nightbitch however, motherhood is set to change Amy Adams in an altogether more peculiar way as the six-time Oscar nominated actor plays an artist who may or may not be turning into a dog. Yes, you read that right: a dog! It's a barking mad set-up to be sure, but the first trailer for the film — adapted from Rachel Yoder's 2021 novel — promises this one could well be the, er, dog's doodads. Check it out below:
If you went into this one blind, the first minute or so of this trailer would seem to be setting up a run-of-the-mill domestic drama, with Adams playing the put upon stay at home mother opposite Scoot McNairy's oblivious husband. But then Adams' toddler turns around and tells her she's fuzzy,...

Amy Adams embraces the messiness of motherhood in an unusual way in the first trailer for her new film, “Nightbitch.”

After taking her son to Mommy and Me classes and gossiping with the ladies at the grocery store, Adams’ character feels like she may be different from the rest.
Based on Rachel Yoder’s magical realism novel of the same name, Mother’s life starts to take a turn as she takes on dog-like features. The dark comedy even portrays Adams eating raw meat, growing canine teeth and running wild with the neighborhood dogs.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 continues the story of these classic video game adaptations, bringing back the majority of the original cast for a third installment in this blockbuster franchise. Like the previous entries in the franchise , Sonic the Hedgehog 3s story is an original narrative that draws from the history of the games. In this case, the film seems to be pulling from Sonic Adventure 2, which introduced Sonic's vengeful counterpart Shadow the Hedgehog as a dark mirror to Sonic.
The original Sonic the Hedgehog movie was a huge box office success, and the success of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 cemented the character's cinematic potential. This was in part thanks to a star-studded cast and veteran voice-actors, which brought fresh life to the classic video game characters.

Disney's live-action remake trend heated up in 2010 with "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" but was overshadowed by "Alice in Wonderland." "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is actually a Disney live-action remake inspired by "Fantasia" and Mickey Mouse's character. Despite a star-studded cast, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" was criticized for being cliched and not unique enough to stand out.
In recent years, Disney has been building on a live-action remake trend, yet 2010's The Sorcerer's Apprentice was one of Disney's earliest live-action reboots, and it was a box office bomb. Disney's live-action remakes have become increasingly commonplace, with The Little Mermaid premiering in 2023 and Snow White and Moana in the pipeline. However, Disney's live-action remakes began decades ago. The first was 1994's Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, followed by 101 Dalmations and 102 Dalmations in 1996 and 2000 respectively. In reality, 2010 is when these movies really started to pick up.
