Fran Drescher has signed on to join the cast of Marty Supreme, in which she’ll be playing Timothée Chalamet‘s mother, ABC Audio has confirmed.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, The Creator also appear in the project, which is currently underway.
The film from director Josh Safdie and studio A24 “is a fictional work set in the world of 1950s ping pong culture, not a biopic” of one of the sport’s biggest names, Marty Reisman, the studio explains.
The cast also includes Hellraiser‘s Odessa A’zion, actor and magician Penn Jillette, Kevin O’Leary aka Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank and Abel Ferrara.
Walt Disney Animation Studios teased more of the highly anticipated sequel in a special look video on Tuesday, which features Moana sailing the seas of Oceania, battling monsters and more with her pal Maui by her side.
The special look also features Auli’i Cravalho, who voices Moana, singing a new song in the film called “We’re Back.”
News of the Moana sequel was first announced in February by Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger, and a trailer for the film debuted at D23 in Anaheim, California, in August.
Fans of the film were first introduced to Moana in 2016. The first film follows the adventurous teenager as she embarks on a quest to save her people on the Polynesian island of Motunui.
A press release for the sequel describes the film as following Moana “on an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui.”
During an interview with Good Morning America at D23, Dwayne Johnson, who voices Maui in the film, shared what fans can expect from Moana in the sequel.
“There’s something in her instinct and in her gut,” he said at the time. “There’s an inner voice that keeps telling her that there’s more out there. And it’s beyond the reef as she thought before but also, there’s more — especially when it comes to the culture and the islands — and you have a young lady who’s just not satisfied with what is currently happening and she does believe there’s more and she needs a little help from her demigod friend, Maui, and we go on a crazy, unbelievable adventure.”
Rebel Wilson and her fiancée Ramona Agruma tied the knot in Sardinia, Italy on Saturday, Sept. 28, according to the author and actress.
On Rebel’s Instagram, she posted a photo from the event, with both women wearing gorgeous white bridal gowns, against a breathtaking postcard perfect location.
According to Us Weekly, the intimate affair included Wilson’s mom Sue Bownds, her sisters Annachi and Liberty Wilson, and her brother Ryan Ryot, along with some of the couples’ close friends.
The Pitch Perfect actress, 44, and Agruma, 40, began dating in 2021 and went public with the romance in 2022, the same time Wilson came out as queer.
That same year, Wilson welcomed her first child, a baby girl, via surrogate.
The couple announced their engagement in 2023.
One of the first to salute the happy couple online was Rebel’s Pitch Perfect co-star Adam Devine, who enthused, “Both of you look stunning! Congrats Rebs. Look at us all grown up! So happy for you!”
Richard Gadd’s follow-up project to Baby Reindeer is taking shape.
Gadd is confirmed to star in the HBO/BBC series Half Man alongside actor Jamie Bell. The series follows estranged “brothers” Niall, played by Bell, and Ruben, played by Gadd.
It will cover the ups and downs of Niall and Ruben’s relationship over the course of 40 years. The show kicks off with Ruben making a surprise appearance at Niall’s wedding, which leads to a violent altercation that sends the viewer back throughout their lives.
“I am delighted to confirm I will be playing Ruben in the newly crowned Half Man for the BBC / HBO alongside the incomparable Jamie Bell,” Gadd, who created and will executive produce the show, says in a statement. “When I wrote the show, I did it with him in mind, never thinking for a second we would manage to land him. So I could not be happier for everything that has come to pass in getting him on board.”
Bell adds, “I’m so excited to join this incredible creative team. Richard has once again crafted something poignant and singular. I’m honored to have been asked to bring this to life with him.”
