Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Blythe Tanner are in talks to return for another movie in the Meet the Parents series, Deadline reports.
There are no plot details for the new film, which is being developed for Universal Pictures, but John Hamburg is set to write the screenplay. Hamburg wrote all three of the franchise’s films and produced Little Fockers. No director has been slated to helm it as of yet.
De Niro and Jane Rosenthal will produce the film through Tribeca Productions, as will Stiller and John Lesher through Red Hour Films.
The original Meet the Parents film was released in 2000, when it grossed more than $330 million worldwide and was the seventh-highest-grossing film globally that year.
Its sequel, Meet the Fockers, was released in 2004, while the third film in the franchise, Little Fockers, was released in 2010. As a whole, the franchise has generated over $1.13 billion.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer star in the trailer for 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel in the 28 Days Later franchise.
“It began 10,228 days ago. Days became weeks. Weeks became years,” on-screen text reads in the trailer, which was released Tuesday.
While there’s no dialogue from the characters, a haunting radio voice is featured throughout the trailer, which shows Taylor-Johnson and Comer facing off against zombies in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
“It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected,” the film’s synopsis reads.
“One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway,” it continues. “When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutilated not only the infected but other survivors as well.”
The film is directed by Danny Boyle with a script from Alex Garland, the same team behind the original 2002 film 28 Days Later starring Cillian Murphy that started it all.
A 2007 sequel titled 28 Weeks Later saw a different creative team and cast.
Starring alongside Taylor-Johnson and Comer in the third film in the horror franchise are Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes.
The Brutalist, a highly anticipated historical drama starring Adrien Brody, released a brand-new trailer on Tuesday.
The Brady Corbet-directed film, which releases Dec. 20, focuses on the life of Brody’s character, László Toth, who survives the Holocaust in World War II Europe and travels to America in search of a new life.
The Brutalist stars Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin and more.
In the new look at the film, Brody’s character arrives in America and greets a cousin who informs him his wife, Erzsébet, has also survived the war.
The trailer also shows Brody’s Toth being discovered for his architectural talents.
“Tell me why is an accomplished foreign architect shoveling coal here in Philadelphia,” asks Pearce’s character, a businessman, of Toth, who says, “I’m afraid it is not so simple.”
In the trailer, Toth describes the longevity of his work in Europe during World War II. “There was a war on, and yet many of the sites of my projects had survived,” he said.
The trailer also depicts the discrimination faced by Jewish immigrants at the time.
“Your English is impressive. Perhaps you can help your husband sound less like he shines shoes for a wage,” Pearce tells Jones, who plays Erzsébet.
The trailer climaxes as Toth vocalizes in frustration, “They do not want us here.”
The Brutalist recently earned several Golden Globe nominations, including best motion picture (drama) and best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for Brody.
Jamie Foxx opened up about the mysterious health scare he experienced last year in his new stand-up comedy special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was….
The Oscar-winning actor was hospitalized last year while filming his new movie Back in Action, with his eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, saying at the time he had “experienced a medical complication” but was “already on his way to recovery” thanks to “quick action and great care.”
Earlier this year, Foxx told a group of fans it all started with a “bad headache” on April 11 and, after asking a friend for something to treat the headache, he was “gone for 20 days” and doesn’t remember anything.
In his new stand-up special, the comedian revealed the doctors told his sister that he had “a brain bleed” that “led to a stroke.”
“I was fighting for my life, but I’m here in front of you!” he told the audience.
Foxx said in his special that when he woke up on May 4, he found himself in a wheelchair, with doctors telling him he couldn’t walk. He credited the therapists who pushed him to get better, slowly but surely.
“She said, ‘I can help you, Jamie Foxx,'” he recalled. “She says, ‘You remember the movie Karate Kid?’ I say, ‘Yes.’ She said, ‘We gonna wax on, wax off.'”
Foxx said he leaned on his faith in God and the love from his family to get him through that dark period of his life, with his youngest daughter, Anelise, joining him onstage during the special.
His motto through it all? “If I could stay funny, I could stay alive,” he said.
Foxx filmed his stand-up comedy special — his first in nearly two decades — last October during a set of three shows in Atlanta.
Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…, which received a 2025 Golden Globe nomination for best performance in stand-up comedy on television on Monday, is now streaming on Netflix.
What We Do in the Shadows is ending in December after six seasons, and Taika Waititi is shocked that the series based on his vampire mockumentary film has gone on this long. “This went on for far too long, but I’m proud of it,” Waititi told Entertainment Weekly. “I thought that the movie, when we were making the movie, I said to Jemaine [Clement], ‘This feels like this is like a five-minute idea that we’re stretching out into a movie.’ Next thing, we made six seasons of the same idea” …
Linda Cardellini is joining the upcoming limited series DTF St. Louis in a lead role, Deadline reports. The dark comedy project, which stars and is being executive produced by Jason Bateman and David Harbour, will span seven episodes and follows a love triangle between three adults that leads to one of them dying …

Ryan Reynolds thinks Andrew Garfield stole the show in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
In Variety‘s first Actors on Actorsepisode of this awards season, released Monday, the Marvel superhero actors discussed their respective franchises: Deadpool and Spider-Man.
Garfield said that in retrospect, he is so grateful for the opportunity to be Spider-Man.
“One of the first photos of me as a 3-year-old is in a Spider-Man costume that my mother made out of felt. And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, this person, this character, it means so f****** much to me,’” Garfield said.
Reynolds told Garfield that he “did sort of steal” Spider-Man: No Way Home.
“Oh, shut up,” Garfield tells Reynolds, who responds: “And if I were Tom [Holland], I’d be angry.”
Holland, of course, is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man. Garfield famously appeared as his Sony-verse take on Peter Parker in the 2021 global smash hit No Way Home.
Garfield also asked Reynolds about the future of Deadpool in the MCU after the success of this summer’s Deadpool & Wolverine.
“I don’t know. Honestly, my feeling is that the character works very well in two ways. One is scarcity and surprise. So it had been six years since the last one, and part of the reason is that it swallows my whole life,” Reynolds said. “I don’t know what the future of ‘Deadpool’ will be, but I do know that we made the movie to be a complete experience instead of a commercial for another one.”
Came all this way, had to explain, now that he’s a Funko.
Here’s one for the terminally online — Funko Pop has announced it’s releasing a figure of Marcello Hernández‘s viral Saturday Night Live character Domingo.
“He came all this way, so give a warm welcome to POP! Domingo,” the item’s description reads. “This suave charmer is sure to form a strong connection with your collection! Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Saturday Night Live by making this comical character the next addition to your SNL lineup!”
The character made his SNL debut on season 50’s Oct. 12 episode hosted by Ariana Grande. In the sketch “Bridesmaid Speech,” a group of bridesmaids sing about their wild bachelorette trip to the tune of Sabrina Carpenter‘s “Espresso.” Throughout the song, it’s revealed that the bride cheated on her husband with a man named Domingo.
Domingo then appears to sing his own verse. “Hey Matt, came all this way/ Had to explain, direct from Domingo/ Kelsey’s a friend/ She’s like my sis/ But we did hook up though,” Hernandez sang.
SNL‘s video of the sketch has over 13 million views on YouTube, with 15 million additional views on TikTok. It became a viral sensation, with Hernández even making an appearance at one of Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet concerts in costume as Domingo.
“Came all this way/ Had to explain/ Direct from Domingo/ Sabrina’s a friend/ She’s like my sis/ But I would hook up though,” he sang before Carpenter performed her hit “Juno.”
The Domingo Funko Pop is now available to preorder at Funko.com.
Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Ariana Grande are among the stars reacting to their 2025 Golden Globes nominations.
Washington detailed his experience filming Gladiator II — the film that earned him his 11th nomination, the most of any Black performer at the Golden Globes — after being nominated in the best performance by a male actor in a supporting role in any motion picture category.
“Before I even worked with Sir Ridley Scott, I was a fan of his movies and his talent,” Washington said in a statement. “The sheer size of this particular production and the incredible cast of actors and crew he assembled, not to mention what he literally built of ancient Rome, humbles me – it humbled me every day on set. And giving me Macrinus – to embody, to enjoy, to create – what an incredible honor this is, and has been.”

“oh my goodness oh my goodness… i am floored and honored to be recognized by members of the @goldenglobes. crying (of course) … It’s impossible to find my words, but I am simply, so deeply grateful for this acknowledgement,” she wrote. “i can’t possibly express my gratitution.”
Hugh Grant shared a statement reacting to his nomination for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for his role in Heretic.
“I feel like a gate crasher. But a very warmly received one,” he said. “Massive thanks to the Golden Globes and to Scott Beck and Bryan Woods for spotting my need to kill, and to A24 for sponsoring it.”
