It would be weird for fans to see Todd Phillips back to direct the Wolfpack members on another adventure gone wrong. The Hangover was a film that worked on a particular formula, that has been used over and over again in its sequels and other similar comedy films. While Bradley Cooper may want to go down his comedy roots again with a fourth film, it just doesn’t make any sense at this point.

The original film starred Cooper, Ed Helms, Zack Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha as the four protagonists who always end up in a hangover mess when they get together. While the first film became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy at the time, the two sequels failed to live up to the original.

Who knew one of the scariest settings for a TV series could be the Los Feliz real estate market? “Dead to Me” creator Liz Feldman previewed her latest dark comedy series with a first-look teaser for “No Good Deed” on Monday.
The new Netflix series follows three families all competing for the same 1920s Spanish-style Los Angeles home while empty nesters played by Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano do everything in their power to keep the darkness of their house concealed to the prospective buyers.
Lydia Morgan (Kudrow) is a high-strung concert pianist, who just wants to stand by her husband’s side but does not want to leave the family home. Her husband Paul Morgan (Romano) is a broke contractor, who sees no other option but to sell their place and retire.
However, things take an ominous turn for the worst: there’s a woman escorted out in handcuffs,...

Netflix will premiere a new series called “No Good Deed” on December 12th. The show looks at the competitive world of real estate in Los Angeles. Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano star as a couple selling their century-old home. They list the property in a desirable LA neighborhood. This starts a frenzied bidding war among potential buyers.
Each family thinks owning the home will solve their problems. However, the name “No Good Deed” hints the house may conceal sinister secrets.

Anyone shopping for a home knows how brutal the real estate market can be. You want the right neighborhood, school district, tax situation, and other factors to avoid purchasing a lemon of a home. So, when you find what you feel is the perfect house, you’ll fight tooth and nail to get it. However, what happens when competing couples want the same thing? Things could get ugly quickly and often do. In Netflix‘s No Good Deed teaser trailer, everyone falls in love with the same house and will do whatever they can to get it.
Here’s the official synopsis for No Good Deed courtesy of Netflix:
“When Lydia (Lisa Kudrow) and Paul (Ray Romano) decide to move on from their empty nest to forge a new life, they list their gorgeous 1920s Spanish-style villa located in one the most desirable neighborhoods in Los Angeles — and the real estate frenzy begins.

Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 was supposed to be a sweeping epic, but instead, it left one famous actor giving him serious side-eye. Costner’s ambitious project didn’t just fail to hit the mark—it pretty much nose-dived straight into disaster territory. And now, it seems like one of his A-list peers is having a hard time trusting him with anything big again.

Kevin Hart called and hung up on J.K. Simmons just to prove to Seth Meyers that he’d worked with the “Red One” star before.
In the “Late Night” host’s bar-themed segment, “Seth & Kevin Go Day Drinking,” Meyers told Hart that he’d show the comedian a series of actors and Hart would have to share if he’d worked with them or not.
Given that Hart has been in “over 100 projects” (Meyers joked their computers crashed after pulling up the actor’s IMDb page), the host went through several Hollywood stars, including Denzel Washington, Jennifer Aniston and Luke Wilson until he finally pulled up an image of J.K. Simmons.
Before misidentifying him as Richard Jenkins, who was shown next to Simmons’ photo, Hart said he’s certain he and Simmons shared a set together, but it was for a movie that’s yet to come or be...

Welcome back to the wide-open vistas and scattered settlements of Kevin Costner’s Horizon. This installment picks up where the last left off, continuing the story of Western expansion through interconnected tales. Costner wears multiple hats as director, writer, and star, juggling an epic scope across hours of landscape shots and pioneers’ travels.
Chapter 2 centers on wagon trains navigating plains and hardscrabble towns like Horizon, which sprouts from the dust on promises of opportunity. We rejoin favorites like resilient widow Frances and taciturn gunslinger Hayes, dealing with dangers native to the untamed frontier—from the elements and each other. Harsh realities especially face pioneer women, as some find independence while others fall victim to man’s brutality.
Costner plainly loves the Western genre, but ambition sometimes outpaces execution. Nonlinear editing between plots disorients, and character arcs feel rushed. Still, patient viewers can immerse in rich production design and performances that add nuance to stock archetypes.

Just a few months after the first three-hour installment of Kevin Costner’s legacy project had its lackluster premiere at Cannes, his second slab of Western fudge has launched in Venice. There are more snow-topped mountains in Montana, more bars bathed in golden gaslight, more shoot-outs, more lines of wagons moving ever westward ho. Costner obviously loves classic Westerns, including his own — he allows himself a callback to Wyatt Earp — and these are all treasurable, time-honored motifs of the genre. Piling them high over hours and hours does not, however, mean that the result will be all the more classically magnificent. It just means there will be a lot of it, whatever it is.
What it is, unfortunately, is a collection of anecdotes lying side by side, never cohering — so far, anyway — into the comprehensive panorama of the turbulent making of America that Costner and his co-writer, John Baird, must have envisaged.

As vast and flat as its title, “Horizon: An American Saga” can carry many descriptions. Call it hokey or homespun, old-school or out-of-touch, all would apply. But don’t you dare say wistful, because star and director and producer and co-screenwriter Kevin Costner has not leveraged a good part of his fortune for mourning.
Costner has come to celebrate those old myths, not bury them – and that lends “Chapter 2” an unintentionally elegiac quality. Tumbling down the Lido once this year’s Venice Film Festival has become a ghost-town, and with an already canceled theatrical release, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” stands more as a monument to unmet ambitions, to the grand swings-and-misses more often than not left out of the Great American Narrative.

After debuting his Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 in Cannes last May, Kevin Costner is on the Lido today for the world premiere of the second installment in the Manifest Destiny epic. Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2, directed by and starring Costner alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Isabelle Fuhrman, Luke Wilson and more, will screen out of competition at the Venice Film Festival this afternoon. Prior to that, Costner met with the press.
Costner wrote the, so far, two-part epic, with co-writer Jon Baird and also produces under his Territory Pictures banner. A third and fourth film are scripted and ready to shoot. The Oscar winner has a lot of skin in the game on this passion project. He previously told Deadline that he’s projected to pay $98 million himself for the first three films, and that financing the fourth will take it to over $100 million.

Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 2 is the latest installment in writer-director-star Kevin Costner’s planned four-part film series, which opened in the U.S. this past July to many poor reviews, bemused viewer reaction and disappointing box office numbers.
This second three-hour tranche of Wild West-themed soap-operatic drama, premiering at Venice, has basically the same problems as its predecessor: too much setup and not enough payoff; jagged editing that only highlights the lack of harmony between its disparate narrative strands; and cliché-tinged production values that often make it feel corny and old-fashioned, and not in a good way. And that’s allowing for the assumption that it’s aimed at the geriatric market who loved Costner’s pseudo-revisionist Western blockbuster Dances With Wolves back in the day and his return turn to Western-adjacent form with recent TV hit Yellowstone.

And that’s allowing for the assumption that it’s aimed at the geriatric market who loved Costner’s pseudo-revisionist Western blockbuster Dances With Wolves back in the day and his return turn to Western-adjacent form with recent TV hit Yellowstone.
And yet, despite all that, Chapter 2 proves to be more...

36 years after the release of Ron Shelton’s steamy baseball romance “Bull Durham,” co-stars Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon got together again at the 81st annual Venice Film Festival.
“There’s nothing like catching up with an old friend,” Costner wrote on his Instagram Thursday, sharing a picture of himself with Sarandon. “Great to see you [Susan Sarandon] we’ve come a long way since our ‘Bull Durham’ days.”
Sarandon was nominated for a Golden Globe for best musical or comedy for her role in the 1988 hit.

Directed by Ty Roberts, You Gotta Believe is a heart-warming family sports drama set in the early 2000s. Written by Lane Garrison and Roberts himself, the film is a nostalgic throwback to the feel-good, underdog sports movies of the ’70s and ’80s.
Produced by a team that includes Byron Campbell and Houston Hill, the film features a stellar cast, with Hollywood stars Luke Wilson and Greg Kinnear leading the charge.
Based on a true story, You Gotta Believe follows the underdog 2002 Fort Worth, Texas, Little League team. After dedicating their season to their ailing coach (and teammate’s father), these players embark on a miraculous journey that culminates in a record-breaking ESPN showdown. Luke Wilson plays the determined coach, while Greg Kinnear portrays a supportive but sceptical volunteer.

Based on the true story, You Gotta Believe (2024) combines sports adrenaline with the hope of humanity in a tribute to Bobby Ratliff, coach of the Westside Little League baseball team that became the All Stars and went all the way through the Little League World Series to the championship.
Sam Knight (Martin Roach), who owned a baseball memorabilia store that sold trading cards, played a big part in inspiring the team to rally around something bigger than themselves. That turned out to be someone — Bobby (portrayed by Luke Wilson) — whose son Robert (Michael Cash) played on the team alongside the son of manager Jon Kelley (Greg Kinnear). These aren’t the only familiar faces you might recognize in the baseball film, as a particularly well-known one from a different classic sports story shows up in You Gotta Believe.

Yellowstone star Kevin Costner will return to the Western genre with his film series Horizon: An American Saga, the first part of which is set to arrive in theaters June 28. The first film in a planned four-arc installment premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to an 11-minute 40-second standing ovation, which brought the actor to tears.
Costner, who stars in and directs the Western installments, has been wanting to bring this project to the screen since 1988 when he started dreaming it up. He cowrote it with Jon Baird. The Dances With Wolves star revealed that production has begun for the third film and that he has plans to make a fourth. The second part of the series will follow the first with a theatrical release this summer.

Our top streaming pick this week, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1,” is Kevin Costner’s spiritual sequel to his seven-time Oscar winner “Dances With Wolves.” The awards chances for “Horizon” look dimmer than “Dances,” though, especially after the passion project flopped in theaters.
The film is a Western epic following the arduous journeys of settlers and outlaws as they try to reach the frontier town of Horizon. In addition to Costner, who plays a stoic horse trader named Hayes Ellison, the sprawling cast includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Abbey Lee, and Luke Wilson, among many others. The release of in-the-can second part has been postponed indefinitely, but now that “Chapter 1” can potentially gin up some interest with its streaming release on Max, maybe “Chapter 2” will get a new date soon.

Costner, in addition to directing, stars in "Horizon", alongside his son Hayes Costner, who plays the young Costner.

Kevin Costner’s new film “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” has faced challenges since its theater release in June. The western epic, directed by and starring Costner, has earned just $34.2 million worldwide on a reported budget of $100 million. In response, the film’s studios have changed their release strategy.
“Horizon” tells the story of American families during the Civil War period from 1861 to 1865. Costner aimed to explore different perspectives on the west’s expansion and the conflict’s impact on national identity. Despite its ambitious vision and cast including Sienna Miller and Sam Worthington, the film failed to find large audiences in theaters.
As a result, New Line Cinema and Territory Pictures postponed the August theatrical debut of planned sequel “Chapter 2.” They will instead focus on releasing “Chapter 1” through video-on-demand services and streaming. A Territory Pictures statement expressed gratitude for fan interest but said more exposure is needed.

Kevin Costner’s Western epic “Horizon” is finally coming to streaming. The filmmaker’s passion project “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” will stream on Max starting on Friday, Aug. 23.
The film, which is the opening salvo of a planned four-film franchise, explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. The story spans the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865.
Costner co-wrote, directed, stars in and partially financed the film, which opened in theaters in June. “Horizon 2” is already completed and was originally set to be released in August, but after the lackluster performance of the first film at the box office, the decision was made to push the release of “Horizon 2” so more people could catch up with the first film.

Kevin Costner‘s period Western Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 has a streaming date.
The first chapter in the former Yellowstone star’s film saga will release on Max on Aug. 23.
Following the film disappointing at the box office — Chapter 1, which runs three hours and one minute, opened to just $11 million over the June 28-30 weekend — Costner’s Territory Pictures and distribution partner New Line Cinema decided to pause on releasing Horizon: Chapter 2. The second installment was pulled from a planned Aug. 16 theater release in order to give audiences the opportunity to discover the first installment on PVOD and Max.
Chapter 1 debuted in the home on Premium VOD July 16 while it remained in theaters, but at that time, a Max date had not been announced. The switch-up in what was an ambitious release plan was in hopes of allowing more time to grow the audience, as the first film sports a $100 million price tag.

Despite a recent surge in popularity due to the hit Yellowstone, Kevin Costner’s posse of grown-up, Western-loving movie-goers failed to show up at cinemas this summer to support the first part of his (partially) self-financed epic “Horizon: An American Saga.” When the wheels got stuck in the mud, the Emmy-winner and two-time Oscar-winner paused the release date of “Chapter 2,” originally set for August 16, and left the future of the project (it was originally intended as four movies) in doubt.

While Warner Bros initially intended to release Chapter 2 just two months later, on August 16 — in an unusual move — the sequel’s release has since been delayed for an indefinite period, the hope being to give audiences who have not yet caught up with Chapter 1 a chance to do so.

You Gotta Believe follows an underdog baseball team that dedicates the season to a teammate’s sick father and ultimately makes it to the 2002 Little League World Series, where they deliver a record-breaking performance.
“I play Cliff and it’s kind of a cool pivotal point in the film where I’m tasked with kind of convincing Greg Kinnear, who’s the head coach, to do the impossible and take on this tall task and turn this – you know, not the worst team but not the best team – into a team that can compete against the best,” he told uInterview founder Erik Meers.

Vince Vaughn feels Hollywood executives “overthink it” when it comes to developing the types of R-rated comedies the actor is famously known for.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm actor, who rose to fame in the late ’90s and early 2000s with his hard R-rated movies such as Wedding Crashers, Old School and Swingers, recently shared on Hot Ones his thoughts on those films not being made in this day and age.
“They [execs] just overthink it,” Vaughn told host Sean Evans “And it’s like, it’s crazy, you get these rules, like, if you did geometry, and you said 87 degrees was a right angle, then all your answers are messed up, instead of 90 degrees. So there became some idea or concept, like, they would say something like, ‘You have to have an IP.’”

Chapter 2 of Kevin Costner’s Western epic Horizon: An American Saga won’t be released in August after all.
Nobody can accuse Kevin Costner of being lazy. He has financed, produced, co-written, directed and co–starred in Horizon: An American Saga, which was conceived as a four film series, each one pushing the three hour mark.
Chapter 1 was released in the UK last month, and the plan was to release Chapter 2 in August.
However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the second film has been pulled from the release schedule. The reason given is the lacklustre box office reciepts for the first film, which took $20 million against a budget of $100 million.
It seems the plan is to encourage people to discover Horizon at home, so anticipation can build for the second film.

There are many rules in the genre of horror. Never build anything on top of an ancient Indian burial ground. Don’t say “I’ll be right back”. Because you won’t.
