Paul Rudd’s Last 5 Films At The Worldwide Box Office (Photo Credit – Facebook)

American actor Paul Rudd, everyone’s favorite Mike Hannigan from the classic sitcom Friends, is everyone’s favorite, and people are very keen on knowing his secret to looking so young even at 55. He is also best known for playing the enigmatic Ant-Man/Scott Lang in the MCU. He played an important role in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. His idea of a time heist formed the base for the Og Avengers to bring back the population disintegrated by Thanos.

Paul made his acting debut in 1991 and then starred in the TV drama Sisters. He then gained recognition in the rom-com Clueless alongside Alicia Silverstone. Gradually, Rudd established himself in the comic genre and appeared in films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Over Her Dead Body, and more. He has also appeared in the drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

We might be adults or quite old now, but when it comes to Harry Potter movies, the child in us is always ready to say Wingardium Leviosa or Expelliarmus! Growing up, we all wished to be at Hogwarts to fight the dark goblins and have the magic wand. That’s the amount of craze that the Harry Potter movies hold. They created a world of magic and mystery that captivated all of us all these years.

The movie series based on Jk Rowling’s novels starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as the iconic characters of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. It goes way back to when the first-ever Harry Potter movie was released in November 2001 and ran across eight films over 10 years.

Plex is gearing up for an exciting lineup of films and series in November 2024. Viewers can look forward to a variety of new additions, including Blue Ridge, But I’m A Cheerleader, Call Jane, and Empire State. Cult classics like The Grudge, Hard Candy, House of 1000 Corpses, and The Midnight Meat Train are also hitting the platform, alongside more recent hits like Wind River and Where’d You Go, Bernadette? For fans of horror, thrillers, and emotional dramas, there’s no shortage of options. However, Plex is also bidding farewell to a number of films and shows in November. Among those leaving are 24 Hours to Live, Drive Angry, The Devil’s Rejects, Snowpiercer, and USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. If you’ve been meaning to watch these titles, now is the time to catch them before they disappear. For those looking to binge their favorites, many notable titles are still available for streaming.

Harry Potter brought a world full of magic and wizards, where anything seemed possible. The first movie, titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released way back in 2001. And even after several decades and eight movies later, the franchise is still loved by millions. Based on the novels of acclaimed author J.K. Rowling, the project also brought forth three new faces out in the open.

They were Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, who played Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley to the best of their capabilities. While they were quite young back then, currently all of them are full-blown actors with several movies under their belt.

Not only these three but also other Harry Potter alumni are doing some amazing work in the industry. Let’s dive deeper into what the cast has...

Emma Watson just doesn’t jump into a role unless she fully gets to understand and transform into a character. Watson has been on a hiatus from films for a long time but fans are still ready to go watch her back on screen anytime. The Harry Potter star famously turned down Emma Stone’s Oscar-winning role of Mia in La La Land.

Watson revealed that she couldn’t accept the offer for the film as she was already committed to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Watson just had a lot to do to prepare for her role as Belle and committing to Damien Chazelle’s musical was never an option for her.

These Are Not the First Book Bans in US History Book banning is not a new or even irregular phenomenon. According to the American Library Association (Ala), an average of 420 challenges to ban books were issued each year between 2001 and 2018, and the first book banned in the US was banned over a century before the United States even earned their independence. New English Canaan, Jacob Frederick Stam’s incendiary critique of Puritan life in the colonies, was banned shortly after its publication in 1637. In this case, banning meant seizure and destruction of the book’s printings. Today, banning takes the form of restricted access. You can find lists online of the most challenged books in the US in recent history, and you’ll likely recognize a lot of them.

Guess which well-known actor is about to make his Netflix debut soon? Well, it's none other than Vince Vaughn, an actor known for starring in many comedy flicks. And guess what? The new Netflix movie he's set to star in is a comedy movie as well. It's titled Nonnas, and we're about to tell you everything there is to know about it down below.

After a competitive bidding war, Netflix came out securing the worldwide rights to the comedy film. The streamer reportedly paid $20 million+ for the rights. The movie was initially going to be part of the Toronto International Film Festival, but with Netflix snagging the rights, it will be released on its platform instead in 2025.

Nonnas is based on a true story. It was written by Liz Maccie and directed by Stephen Chbosky. Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane produce for Madison Wells and Jack Turner for Matador Content.

Netflix has picked up director Stephen Chbosky’s feature comedy Nonnas, which stars Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire and Brenda Vaccaro.

The feature portrays a man after the loss of his mother opening up an Italian restaurant with a group of local grandmothers as chefs.

Chbosky wrote the screenplay for Disney’s live action Beauty and the Beast and the film adaptation of R.J. Palacio’s Wonder, and directed the screen adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen and penned and directed the film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the acclaimed 2012 teen drama that starred Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller.

Rounding out the ensemble cast for Nonnas are Linda Cardellini, Drea De Matteo, Joe Manganiello, Michael Rispoli and Campbell Scott. The film is written by Liz Maccie and produced by Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane for Madison Wells and Jack Turner for Boat Rocker’s Matador Content.

Exclusive: Netflix has won an auction for the Stephen Chbosky-directed comedy Nonnas in a deal Deadline hears is $20 million-plus for worldwide rights. Several bidders were in the mix on a film that had been invited to be part of the Toronto International Film Festival slate. That has changed and the film won’t make the trip. Netflix will release the film globally in 2025.

Scripted by Liz Maccie, and based on a true story, Nonnas stars Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, Linda Cardellini, Drea De Matteo, Joe Manganiello, Michael Rispoli, and Campbell Scott.

Vaughn plays Joe, a single man in a dead-end job whose mother has spoiled him with her cooking. When she dies, he tries to pull himself out of grief mode by risking everything to open an Italian restaurants and honor his mother. He enlists a group of Italian grandmothers, who feed his love for home cooking, and they become surrogate moms. Chbosky has a knack for this kind of material, directing Wonder and The Perks of Being a Wallflower among others.

Nonnas is produced by Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane for Madison Wells, and Jack Turner for Matador Content. The exec producers are Alexis Garcia, Scott Budnick and Ameet Shukla for 1Community, Vince Vaughn, Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin for Matador Content, Amanda Morgan Palmer and Stacy Calabrese for Madison Wells.

Netflix confirmed the deal, and offered reaction from Nonnas‘ filmmaking team:

Gigi Pritzker, whose Madison Wells originated the film, said she was “delighted that Nonnas has found a great home at Netflix, where it will be widely seen and enjoyed. The film focuses on family, food and community, and in this turbulent time those are things we can all celebrate.”

Said Fifth Season Head of Film Christopher Slager: “Once again Stephen Chbosky has brought magic to the screen in this heartfelt and joyous film. We cannot wait for audiences everywhere to sit down at the table with us and share this fantastic film thanks to our partners at Netflix.”

Scott Budnick, 1Community Executive Producer added that “Nonnas is a celebration of family – the ones you’re born into and the ones you create. We are thrilled to bring this family to Netflix.”

The deal was brokered by WME Independent and Fifth Season, latter of which was the studio on the film. It marks the third deal in the run-up to a Toronto Festival that is chock full of acquisition titles, including some titles that played Telluride. This after the Dito Montiel-directed Riff Raff was acquired for US by Roadside Attractions, and Sony Pictures Classics acquired Jane Austen Wrecked My Life before its TIFF premiere.

The available titles that buyers saw at Telluride include September 5, about how ABC Sports team broadcasting the 1972 Olympics in Munich, German rose to the moment and covered the kidnap and massacre of 11 members of the Israeli team in real time. The twists and turns and split-second decisions they made under Roone Arledge make for a harrowing thriller. Also in that mix is The Friend. In that film, Bill Murray plays an acclaimed writer whose companion is a Great Dane named Apollo. When he dies, the dog is adopted by one of the writer’s protegees (Naomi Watts) who tries to stash the oversized high-maintenance pooch in her Manhattan rent-controlled apartment, which has a firm no dogs allowed policy. Scott McGehee and David Siegel direct a film that was one of the buzz titles of Tellurides.

While recent TIFF deal making has been slow going each year since the pandemic, the abundance of plum titles with strong casts, and an expected buyer appetite could portend a strong atmosphere for deals. TIFF begins tomorrow night.

Known as Hermione, the brightest witch of her age, Emma Watson became an overnight sensation when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released in 2001. But what most don’t know is that her journey to stardom was almost derailed by the very thing that made her famous.

As a child actor, Watson was thrust into the spotlight at just nine years old. While the Harry Potter movies catapulted her to global fame, it also took a toll on her mental health. The actress almost quit the industry while filming for the last few movies. It took a great deal of strength and her passion for the project for her to continue with it, despite feeling immensely burnt out.

Coming-of-age stories are not a new phenomenon in Cinema. In a generation where ‘Lady Bird’ and ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ are the cornerstones of growing up, the stories of characters becoming the person they are meant to be can sometimes be lost in the noise of the classics. However, a new coming-of-age story is rising to the occasion. ‘Janet Planet’ is the film debut of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Annie Baker, and the coming-of-age story is one not to be missed.

Ezra Miller and their Flash legacy were simultaneously the beginning and end of their Hollywood career. The career that was given root with a big superhero break in Zack Snyder’s Dceu film Justice League propelled them out of their arthouse genre anonymity to worldwide acclaim.

However, the fame and celebration didn’t last long, after controversy – both within Hollywood and in Miller’s personal life – began to snowball into epic and uncontrollable proportions. With the actor’s mental health in jeopardy, their career took a backseat and Miller became the trending subject of every news headline and publication.

Now, 3 years after the scandal that broke the internet, more facts have come to light on the Ezra Miller case.

After claiming the top spot in Netflix’s English Film list with The Union, Mark Wahlberg is back in the news for a different project that brings him back to Apple. Wahlberg is teaming up with Stephen Chbosky for Weekend Warriors, a comedic sports drama written and directed by Chbosky. Multiple studios tried to snag the rights to this one, but Apple Original Films took the pot. Mark Wahlberg stars in Weekend Warriors, with Plan B and The SpringHill Company producing.

Weekend Warriors takes inspiration from the 2023 feature Weekend Rebels, an original German-language sports comedy focusing on the true story of Mirco and Jason von Juterzcenka. The plot revolves around a father and his autistic son, who wants to find his favorite soccer club in the Premier League by forcing his dad to take him to see every team so he can decide.

As you navigate the world of college, balancing studying, homework, and personal growth, movies can offer a unique form of solace and inspiration. Coming-of-age films, in particular, resonate deeply with college students as they capture the essence of transitioning into adulthood and the myriad challenges that accompany this journey. These films often mirror the experiences you face daily—from developing your identity to managing complex relationships and academic pressures.

While you juggle assignments and learning, you might occasionally seek a break, perhaps something as simple as watching a good movie that reflects your current life phase. If you find yourself needing a break from the academic grind, consider using a paper writing service that can do my paper to handle some of your workload, giving you time to delve into films that might inspire and entertain you.

In the new Amazon Prime Mexican series, No One Will Miss Us, directed by Catalina Aguilar Mastretta, we meet a boy named Memo, who starts off as shy and timid and feels out of place. Over time, Memo finds a group of nerdy friends who support him, protect Memo from bullies, and help him build confidence. Memo goes from being an unnoticed outsider to the talk of the school. But then, just as suddenly as Memo appeared, he was gone. Memo is a bit like Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter—an unsung hero. This boy doesn’t share his feelings with anyone, and when he decides to end his life, it happens so fast and unexpectedly that no one, not even his friends, sees it coming.

No One Will Miss Us really dives deep into the struggles of being a teenager, making friends, and finding yourself. It handles the tough topic of suicide so delicately.

Studios love a trendy needle drop in their trailers. The 2010s were especially fraught with movie previews set to Imagine Dragons tunes, which might have been single-handedly responsible for the band being unduly maligned and declared "the new Nickelback" by musicophiles. Sorry, but I gotta defend my boys; one of them's from my hometown!

The problem wasn't the songs but how they were used -- that and, in the case of Imagine Dragons, how often they were utilized. When the trailer for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" deployed "It's Time," the band's debut single was seamlessly meshed with clips from Stephen Chbosky's bittersweet coming-of-age drama. However, when "Believer" suddenly hit in the teaser for "Murder on the Orient Express," it just shattered the mood. This wasn't a carefully-constructed attempt to enhance the murder-mystery's chilly atmosphere, it was Hollywood aspiring to be "hip" in a painfully obvious stab at...

Exclusive: Netflix is developing a feature adaptation of A Thousand Boy Kisses, the bestselling novel written by the UK’s Tillie Cole, sources tell Deadline.

Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) will direct from a script by Liz Maccie (Siren), with David Hoberman producing for Hobie Films. The project marks a reteam for Chbosky and Maccie on the heels of Nonnas, the comedy starring Vince Vaughn for Fifth Season, 1Community and Madison Wells, on which we were first to report.

Originally published by Bloom Books in 2016, the novel’s protagonist is seventeen-year-old Rune Kristiansen, who in returning from his native Norway to the sleepy town of Blossom Grove, Georgia, where he befriended Poppy Litchfield as a child, has just one thing on his mind. Why did the girl who was one half of his soul, who promised to wait faithfully for his return, cut him off without a word of explanation?...

Hulu’s acclaimed new limited series “We Were the Lucky Ones” is led by Logan Lerman. who give the best performance of his career. Adapted from Georgia Hunter‘s 2017 book of the same, the story follows the Kurcs, a Polish Jewish family torn apart by WWII. It’s a difficult watch but creator Erica Lipez has crafted a gripping, vital narrative with Lerman at the center of the show. He plays Addy Kurc, the middle child who pursues a career as a composer in post-war Paris. Critics agree, Lerman is a revelation in this role.

Proma Khosla (Indie Wire) stated: “As Addy, Lerman is siloed from the other siblings for almost the entire series, but never waivers in his portrayal of someone sustained by hope and eventually in the haze of grief.”

Maggie Levitt (Collider) observed: “Lerman is another clear standout in the series, though his performance is more subtle...

Matt Shakman’s The Fantastic Four is reported to have hired Ozark star Julia Garner in the film. The film already has an ensemble cast in the form of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon-Moss Bachrach. It will be the first depiction of the characters in the MCU and is rumored to be set in an alternate reality. The characters have had two iterations before.

Julia Garner has been cast as the Silver Surfer in the upcoming film, which seemingly has not gone down well with fans. Though it is speculated that she would be playing the role of Shalla-Bal, a female version of the supervillain in another reality, fans seem to be extremely upset with the gender-swapped role and criticized Marvel for the move.

Logan Lerman, best known for the Percy Jackson film series, began acting in commercials when he was young and made his film debut in 2000 with the movie The Patriot. After starring in several movies, he decided he needed a break in the early 2000s and would return to the industry when he was 12. In 2004, he was cast in one of the two titular roles in the TV series Jack & Bobby.

Logan Lerman in Hunters

By the time he was cast as the titular character in the 2009 movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, he had appeared in numerous projects and won three Young Artist Awards. The movies have been criticized for deviating from the source material for years. With the release of the new Disney+ series, fans were hoping to have those mistakes corrected. However, Lerman’s recent words have drawn a surprisingly new reaction from them.

For fans of World War II period dramas and the original "Percy Jackson" films, I have incredible news. The limited series "We Were the Lucky Ones" is coming to Disney's newly-purchased Hulu very soon, and it looks like it's going to be worth the wait.

The show is "inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family separated at the start of World War II, determined to survive and reunite," according to the official synopsis. "The series demonstrates how in the face of the 20th century's darkest moment, the human spirit can endure and even thrive. The series is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds."

It is adapted from a New York Times best-selling novel of the same name by Georgia Hunter, a 46-year-old Jewish-American author. Her book is based on the true story of her family's survival in the Holocaust. Although the...

Writer-director Sean Wang is tough on himself in “Dìdi,” a fresh and funny summer-before-freshman-year flashback that provides an Asian American angle on that Sundanciest of indie-film genres: the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age movie. In what feels like a cross between Bing Liu’s “Minding the Gap” and Jonah Hill’s “mid90s” — courtesy of the young director’s teenage desire to make skate videos — Wang serves up some of his most wince-inducing adolescent memories, from an aborted first kiss to the realization that he’d been trying to downplay his Taiwanese heritage.

Hacky creative writing coaches are always insisting, “Write what you know.” And yet, when the result comes out as specific and self-effacing as Wang’s Fremont, Calif.-set time capsule, it’s hard to improve on that advice. As Wang reminds, the year 2008 (which also saw the financial crisis in precipitous fall) found thousands of teens making the transition from...

Robin Williams shines as an English teacher who encourages his pupils to seize every opportunity that presents itself while pushing against societal norms. This film reminds us to embrace our true selves and pursue our dreams with enthusiasm. 

2. "The Breakfast Club" (1985):

John Hughes once explained why he loved stories about young people caught between childhood and adulthood. “One of the great wonders of that age is your emotions are so open and raw,” he said. “At that age it feels as good to feel bad as it does to feel good.”

The poet laureate of the coming-of-age film wasn’t wrong. These movies are built on some of the biggest feelings there are – first love! True friendship! Desperately trying to find a decent party and some booze! – and put you right back in the time when you felt everything so much, you thought you might actually burst. The arc is simple: a young person (or little gang of them) goes through some kind of quest or experience which opens their eyes to the world and shows them how innocent they were, and now never can be again. Come the credits, everyone...

Emma Watson is opening up about why she stepped away from acting.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Watson reflected on why she hasn’t made a movie since Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, which finished shooting at the end of 2018.

“I wasn’t very happy, if I’m being honest, I think I felt a bit caged,” she said.

“The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over. To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’ It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process,” she explained.

Watson continued, “I was held accountable in a way that I began to find really frustrating,...

Emma Watson hasn’t acted since December 2018, when she wrapped production on Greta Gerwig’s beloved “Little Women” adaptation. Considering the “Harry Potter” star isn’t currently attached to any film or television projects, her acting hiatus could very well hit the five-year mark by the end of 2023. Why did Watson step away from acting? She told Financial Times in a recent interview that she “wasn’t very happy” with the profession.

“I think I felt a bit caged,” Watson said. “The thing I found really hard was that I had to go out and sell something that I really didn’t have very much control over. To stand in front of a film and have every journalist be able to say, ‘How does this align with your viewpoint?’ It was very difficult to have to be the face and the spokesperson for things where I didn’t get to be involved in the process.

As an avid moviegoer, I have always been fascinated with the life and career of John Malkovich. His versatility as an actor is truly remarkable, having portrayed various characters in both theatre and Hollywood. In this blog post, I will take a closer look at Malkovich’s early years in theatre, his big break in Hollywood, his notable performances in theatre, his contributions to the fashion industry, and the future of his career. Let’s begin.

Malkovich’s Early Years in Theatre

John Malkovich was born in Illinois in 1953 and grew up in a family of conservationists. He attended Eastern Illinois University, where he initially studied environmental science, but later changed his major to theatre. Malkovich moved to Chicago after college and became a founding member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. He established himself as a talented stage actor in the 1970s and 1980s, earning critical acclaim for his roles...

Celebrity relationships are often a point of interest among fans, particularly when the couple in question does everything they can to evade media attention. But every once in a while, a famous couple will open up about their journey, endearing fans to them even more. Such is the case with Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter, the latter of whom shared his personal account of their relationship.

Where fans have seen Jason Ritter and Melanie Lynskey before

Ritter and Lynskey have both been balancing careers in film and television for decades. In Ritter’s case, the actor — son of the late John Ritter — has appeared in movies such as Freddy vs. Jason, Frozen II, and The Wicker Man. And on TV, he’s starred in Joan of Arcadia, Gravity Falls, and Parenthood, the latter of which landed him an Emmy Award nomination.

Lynskey, meanwhile, landed significant roles in shows such as Two and a Half Men,...

James Gunn is still searching for his Man of Steel. The DC Studios head shot down rumors that casting for his highly anticipated young-Superman film is nearing completion on Twitter Wednesday, as well as the notion that actor Logan Lerman is the top candidate.

On Wednesday, Grace Randolph, a YouTube host and internet personality, tweeted that she heard casting for Gunn’s upcoming “Superman: Legacy,” a reboot of the character focusing on the beginning of his career, is “very close” to being set. After a fan tagged Gunn asking him to weigh in, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” director said the rumor was false and that he “hadn’t had a single talk with a single actor about the role.” He did share that he was “making private lists” for candidates, however, and was in the middle of prepping audition materials for the film.

Not true. Haven’t had a...

Over two decades after the pair first worked together on "Friends," Mae Whitman is finally getting to thank Jennifer Aniston for supporting her when she was just getting started as an actor. During a March 22 appearance on "Live With Kelly and Ryan," Whitman told Aniston how much she appreciated the way she treated her when she was just an 8-year-old guest star on the sitcom.

"I was on 'Friends.' I played the girl that gets knocked down the stairs with the Girl Scout cookies," Whitman said. "I just wanted to say hi because you were so kind to me. It was my favorite show and you really made me feel like I was a part of the cast. And you were so kind and you hugged me. Thank you. It's always stayed with me."

"I'm so glad you're good!

Emma Watson has established her career with many films after her Harry Potter days. One of the films that helped round out her filmography was the 2012 feature Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Perks also saw Watson making out with her co-star Logan Lerman in the film. But it was one of the few scenes that Watson tried to avoid watching.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was a 2012 drama that was based on the novel of the same name by Stephen Chbosky. Chbosky would also end up directing the feature. It starred Watson as a very outgoing high school student mentoring a socially awkward teenager played by Logan Lerman.

When Watson was first sent the script for the movie, she was already fresh off of her Harry Potter films.

The YA adaptation boom of the 2010s is a fascinating time, filled with potential franchises that never took off, some that lingered far beyond their expiration date, and others that remained successful till their final curtain call. The landscape had never been more fruitful for teens and, especially, young girls to have something for them at the box office. But if you weren’t already in love with an established book, like Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games,” the odds weren’t in your favor that your favorite adaptation would get more than a single feature.

In February 2013 Warner Bros. released “Beautiful Creatures,” an adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s 2009 novel. The story follows Southern boy Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich) and his growing attraction to newcomer Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert). Ethan soon realizes Lena comes from a long line of witches, and on her 16th birthday her soul will...
