A few years back, you might remember that Kenya Barris— creator of the ABC sitcom “Black-ish”— and actor Jonah Hill had written a project together, and it would be a family comedy that also co-starred Eddie Murphy. Well, the project, a Netflix film, is called “You People,” and the teaser has finally arrived.
Lionsgate offered up a new “John Wick 4” poster during their presentation at this weekend’s CCXP (also known as the Brazil Comic-Con). The poster is just an extreme close-up of a suited-up Keanu Reeves.
Jonah Hill has filed a petition to legally change his name. The 38-year-old actor - whose real name is Jonah Hill Feldstein - has filed a petition in Los Angeles to legally drop Feldstein from his name, according to TMZ. The documents explained that Jonah simply wants to be known by the name that he's used publicly for years.
While we know Jonah Hill for his acting, his comedies, and his dramatic work—he already has two Oscar nominations under his belt for “The Wolf Of Wall Street” and “Moneyball”—in recent years, Hill has pivoted to feature filmmaking and has really flexed his directing skills. Having just released his latest documentary on Netflix, Hill is moving on, once again, to his next dramatic feature film effort, and it has nabbed quite the lead.
You might ask, how’s Jonah Hill doing these days? Because truthfully, if you lean in and think about it, we haven’t seen the actor on screen all that much since he seemingly pivoted to directing with his promising debut, “mid90s,” in 2018. In the four years since, we’ve seen him all of twice, smaller supporting roles in “The Beach Bum” and “Don’t Look Up,” a quick appearance on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and some small animated voice work.
