Moritz and Toby Ascher of Original Film and Toru Nakahara, head producer at Sega, are producing the adaptation of the Crazy Taxi game that since a 1999 arcade launch has put players behind the wheel of a fearless cabbie racing the clock through chaotic city streets.

Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran‘s Loop Tour as the rapper drew major headlines for his pro-Palestine speeches during his opening performances on the trek, with Sheeran’s promoter stating Monday that venues set to host the tour threatened to pull out if Macklemore was on the bill. “As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of…
When the White House was looking for a way to attack Richard Gere this summer, they went low. Very low — even for this administration. Gere, the politically active 77-year-old actor and philanthropist, had criticized President Trump’s “ignorance” for cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development. At an event promoting an educational partnership on migration, Gere remarked, “He has idiots around him.” Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, fired back in a July 21 post on X, “Not going to listen to a guy who may have put a gerbil up his ass.” And there it was. Again!…
As we meet Emma, a spirited professional dancer played by the exceptionally spirited Annie Murphy, she’s about to turn her life upside down. And who can blame her? She’s in her 30s and her latest gig, a commercial for panty liners, has her slithering around in a Santa’s helper getup.

Presto change-o, Emma is single again, for the first time in 10 years, and determined to start a new…

Now, the 31-year-old is ready to close this chapter of her life with a show at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night. “I’ve found that if I don’t have some degree of ritual or marking of milestones, I get really sad,” Dacus tells The Hollywood Reporter on a recent Zoom from Nashville. “I make plans trying to be respectful of beginnings and endings.” She’s using the show to officially close out this important time in her career. At the time of this conversation,…
CBS on Sunday night warned that the world may be sleepwalking toward a future where artificial intelligence runs amok, and perhaps destroys all of humanity. For now, however, we will have to be content with the AI companies subsidizing our football broadcasts. Sunday afternoon, viewers of the NFL on CBS were surprised to hear that the broadcast has a new sponsor this season: OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. The AI chatbot, it turns out, is now the presenting sponsor of the NFL sideline report segments, where the broadcast booth throws to the sideline reporter on the field. Videos online showed…
Prima Facie carries a bracing, important, timely lesson about getting justice for victims of rape. Cynthia Erivo plays Tessa Ensler, a rising star among British barristers, who often deals with assault cases, and whose world crumbles along with her belief in the legal system when she herself is assaulted by a colleague she was dating. Suzie Miller wrote the screenplay, expanding on her one-woman stage version, which won the 2023 Olivier for Best New Play, along with the Best Actress Olivier and a Tony for Jodie Comer, and its easy to see how well it might have worked in the…

The comedian mentioned during the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday that Anderson watched the movie, which Rock wrote and directed, before telling The Hollywood Reporter that he watched Misty Green as a friend and critic. “Both,” Rock said when asked if Anderson watched as “a bud” or to give notes. “But it’s always for notes.

A new trailer for Peacock‘s Crystal Lake reveals more about the Friday the 13th prequel series —and unsurprisingly, the new information is rather creepy. The full trailer, released on Sunday (the 13th), delves a little deeper into the story of Pamela Voorhees (Linda Cardellini), the mother of the Friday the 13th movie franchise’s unkillable killer. The series is set in 1971 and opens with Pam employed at Camp Crystal Lake as a “lunch lady” —until her son drowns. “I don’t want to heal,” she tells a local cop played by William Catlett. “I want to find my son.” Pam becomes…
