Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have set the comedy horror feature Family Movie as their next project and, true to its title, the film will be a family affair.

The Hollywood couple are set to direct the movie, in which they will star alongside their real-life kids, Travis and Sosie Bacon, according to Variety.

Family Movie follows “an eclectic but tight-knit family of filmmakers” who wind up in the middle of a real-life horror movie when a body turns up on the set of their latest low-budget slasher film, per the outlet. They soon realize the only way to keep the production afloat is by covering up the murder at any cost.

Sedgwick’s previous directing credits include the 2022 feature film Space Oddity and the 2017 TV movie Story of a Girl. As an actress, she’s best known for her role in TV’s The Closer, as well as the films Singles, Something to Talk About, Edge of Seventeen and Born on the Fourth of July.

Kevin Bacon’s film credits include Footloose, Apollo 13, Mystic River, X-Men First Class and Tremors.

Sosie Bacon is best known for her roles in HBO’s Mare of Easttown, Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why and HBO’s Here and Now. She recently made her directing debut on the 2024 comedy What We Got Wrong.

Travis Bacon is a writer, producer and actor.

Will Smith and his Bad Boys director, Michael Bay, may be reuniting for the first time in more than 20 years on the upcoming Netflix action movie Fast and Loose.

Sources tell Deadline that Bay is in final negotiations to helm the film in which Smith is set to star.

Fast and Loose, per the outlet, “follows a man who wakes up in Tijuana with no memories. As he pieces together his past, he learns he’s been living two lives: one as a crime kingpin and the other as an undercover CIA agent.”

The film has reportedly been on Smith’s radar since the release of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which earned $400 million worldwide.

Smith and Bay’s first collaboration, the original Bad Boys movie in 1995, marked Bay’s directorial debut and solidified Smith’s reputation as a bona fide box office star.

Marlon Wayans says Harvey Weinstein’s imprisonment was “God’s revenge” after ‘Scary Movie’ deals

In a chat on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Marlon Wayans went off on Harvey Weinstein and his “evil, ugly brother Bob,” who were producers on the Wayans family’s Scary Movie franchise via their Miramax company.

Further, he suggested to host Shannon Sharpe that Weinstein’s downfall — and eventual imprisonment on sex charges — was “God’s revenge.”

The horror spoof franchise started with 2000’s original Scary Movie, for which they were given a “crappy deal” by the company.

“We opened at $42 million,” noting it was the biggest opening for “any” comedy at the time, not just “for a Black director,” which is how it was spun.

He said his director brother Keenan Ivory Wayans said, “No, no, no, don’t you try to marginalize me … with that label … there’s no such a thing as ‘Black success,’ just success.”

After the “huge” first film, “We got a good deal for the second one,” but then “Miramax did what they did.”

What the studio did was “stole” the franchise from the Wayans family, he says.

“I always say they didn’t just rape and molest women, they raped n***** too and molested us with them deals,” Marlon said. “They were terrible people.”

“They took it from us,” he insisted, and they paid for it at the box office. “You can’t do Wayans s*** without the Wayans. You can try, but … [what] we do is special. We have 200 years of comedy between me, Shawn and Keenan. Damon, Kim. We have a lot of years of excellence of what we do.”

Ultimately, Marlon adds, “God comes for you. All the toxic things you did to me and my family, you took the franchise from us. Vengeance is mine.”

“Sometimes you ain’t gotta do nothing because God’s gonna do it all — God’s revenge,” Marlon says.

New trailer for Nicole Kidman’s upcoming erotic thriller ‘Babygirl’ released

A new trailer for the upcoming erotic thriller Babygirl, starring Nicole Kidman, has been released.

The Halina Reijn-directed film, which arrives in theaters Dec. 25, centers on the scandalous relationship between a high-flying CEO named Romy, played by Kidman, and her much younger intern, Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson, according to a brief synopsis.

After introducing Romy as a powerful executive, the trailer hints at the first signs of the pair’s flirtatious relationship in a Q&A between the two. “Your behavior is unacceptable,” says Romy before their relationship turns physical.

“If we’re going to do this, we’re gonna need to set some rules that you and I both agree on,” Samuel says, setting the framework for the relationship. “Starting with, I tell you what to do, and you do it.”

The trailer ratchets up as the pair develop an intimate relationship. “I think I have power over you, ’cause I can make one call and you lose everything,” Samuel says in a voice-over before he is seen appearing in Romy’s home with her children.

The film will also star Antonio Banderas, who plays Jacob, Romy’s husband. Sophie Wilde also stars in the project playing the role of Esme, Romy’s assistant.

Kidman touched on the major themes of the film at the Venice Film Festival in August, where she won the award for best actress for her role in the film.

“Yes, it’s about sex. It’s about desire, it’s about your inner thoughts, it’s about secrets, it’s about marriage, it’s about truth, power, consent,” said Kidman.

Babygirl hits theaters Dec. 25.
