Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk, Succession‘s Kieran Culkin, and actor and comedian Bill Burr will tackle David Mamet‘s classic drama Glengarry Glen Ross in 2025.
The revival of the Tony-winning play will mark the Broadway debuts of Odenkirk and Burr.
For those unfamiliar with the landmark play, or the 1992 film adaptation that starred Alec Baldwin, Al Pacino and Jack Lemmon, Glengarry centers on the ruthless and desperate salesmen of a cutthroat Chicago real estate office.
Glengarry Glen Ross will debut this spring at a venue to be announced at a later date, along with additional casting information. The production will be directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Patrick Marber.
Grant Ellis, a former pro basketball player from New Jersey, is the next star of TheBachelor, and he recently shared some goals for his upcoming journey with Bachelor Nation’s Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt on the latest edition of their Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.
When asked what he’s looking for in a potential partner, he answered, “Obviously a beautiful woman, but I’m super open in this process, ’cause I know … just through life experience that sometimes the best things come in the most unexpected ways.”
Grant’s also put together a list of do’s and don’ts for his season, including, “Be sure of yourself and when you commit, you need to commit, and that’s something that I’m ready to do. There’s not gonna be any ‘I love yous’ and taking that back. When I see someone … and I feel like I’m ready, it’s gonna be a decision that I’m ready to make.”
As for what not to do, he says, “Don’t be insensitive.”
“Just be emotionally aware that these women are going through this experience also,” he continues. “So, even though I’m gonna have to disappoint some people, I’m gonna try to make it to where I’m understanding of them and assure them that, you know, even though I’m not your person, there’s somebody out there for you that is your person and you’re gonna learn from this experience.”
Grant says he had absolutely no reservations about becoming the new bachelor, saying, “When people can, you know, hand pick your potential partner for you based off of certain things and you get to sift through and see which woman is for you, which woman is not, I mean, who wouldn’t want to do that?”
A premiere date for The Bachelor season 29 has not been announced.
The rumored tension on the set between producer and star Blake Lively and her co-star and director Justin Baldoni on the film It Ends with Us has apparently ensnared Lana Del Rey.
While Lively and Baldoni haven’t commented publicly on the growing number of headlines that they butted heads making the adaptation of Colleen Hoover‘s bestseller, a Blake interview with Hits Radio UK on Sunday added fuel to the fire.
Lively admitted she “wasn’t supposed to be talking about this,” but claims “they” — without naming Baldoni — “begged me” to take Lana’s song “Cherry” out of the movie.
Blake rolled her eyes when asked why that was the case, offering, “they felt like it was too charged and heavy” for the scene.
She insisted the choice was appropriate because her character Lily’s relationship with Baldoni’s Ryle, which turns abusive, is “still good … at that point.”
However, when Brandon Sklenar‘s character Atlas enters, “there’s conflict, there’s pain, there’s turmoil, there’s tension. You’re like, ‘Oh my God, my soulmate, the one that got away in my life.'”
This is just the latest inkling of the rumors of tension between the pair, who didn’t pose for pictures together at the movie’s premiere.
A source recently told Page Six, “It’s not just Blake. None of the cast enjoyed working with Justin.”
People also quoted an anonymous source who said, “The principal cast and Colleen Hoover will have nothing to do with him.”
The Daily Mail claims set sources said Baldoni was “chauvinistic” and “borderline abusive” playing the domestic abuser, and took rewrites — some “guided” by Hoover and at least one written by Blake’s husband, Ryan Reynolds — personally.
That said, some snarkers online have dinged Lively for giving the impression that the heavy drama is a rom-com.
New Yorkers are used to ignoring most stuff they see on the street, but a new guerilla marketing campaign for Alien: Romulus made even some New Yorkers pause.
Spotted by outlets including Screen Thrill, the campaign features people collapsed on the subway, hanging out of a cab window and even in the middle of Times Square, convulsing with “breathing” replicas of the alien parasites known as facehuggers covering their faces.
Back in April, Romulus director Fede Álvarezshowed off his new “favorite toy,” an extremely creepy facehugger prop that can skitter around the floor via remote control.
The Romulus campaign is similar to another viral effort from 20th Century Studios, when replicas of the ape men from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes patrolled California’s Venice Beach on horseback.
Alien: Romulus hits theaters Aug. 16.
20th Century Studios is a division of ABC News’ parent company, Disney.
