Under the deal, Sphere Films will theatrically release pics including Charlotte Wells’ Cannes breakout “Aftersun,” which is currently screening as part of TIFF, and Ari Aster’s “Disappointment Blvd.” starring Joaquin Phoenix. The latter is believed to be A24’s biggest production to date. The A24 deal comes off the back of Sphere Films’ acquisition of MK2 Mile End in April.

The Chicago P.D. world won’t be the same. Tracy Spiridakos is weighing in on costar Jesse Lee Soffer‘s impending exit from the series.

Rambunctious and rough-textured in ways reminiscent of the independent filmmaking boom that had fully erupted out of New York City by the mid-late 2000s, “Funny Pages” is the debut directorial feature by Owen Kline, previously best known for co-starring in one such film from that era.  In Noah Baumbach’s painfully semi-autobiographical “The Squid and the Whale,” about a middle-class New York family torn asunder by divorce, Kline played the 12-year-old brother of Jesse Eisenberg’s neurotic teen; his character’s compulsive habit of masturbating in public added to the film’s already-laudable cringe factor.

Variety, the Social Network star said that he will be covered in full body hair for the role, and that he won’t speak a single line of dialogue.“The next movie I’m doing is the Zellner Brothers’,” said Eisenberg. “They’re just these brilliant directors that I’ve wanted to work with for a long time, and I’m playing a Sasquatch.”He added: “In full makeup.

Jesse Eisenberg’s next project promises to be a hairy experience — literally.

"Take Me Out" is coming back to Broadway with "Modern Family" actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson and former "Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams both reprising their roles. The Tony award-winning play written by Richard Greenberg, directed by Scott Ellis and produced by Barry and Fran Weissler will be playing for 14 weeks at the Schoenfeld Theatre, beginning on October 27.  The play ran for a limited run this past spring and received four Tony nominations.The play is about Darren Lemming, a fictional baseball professional baseball player played by Williams who comes out as gay.

As Warner Bros. Discovery charts its course into the future under new CEO David Zaslav, questions abound about what will become of the DCEU.

Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at the 28th Sarajevo Film Festival after screenings of his directorial debut When You Finish Saving the World, Jesse Eisenberg covered a lot of bases, from his introduction to acting as an anxious teenager to his dislike of the sitcom Friends (“My sister loves it, and we get into arguments all the time,” he said. “Because no one talks that way, and there’s not a group of six people that are all that good-looking and all that funny”). Eisenberg also expressed dismay at the response to his portrayal of Lex Luthor in the 2016 blockbuster Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. “I felt very personal about it,” he said. “The writer, Chris Terrio, is a very serious writer, and he’s a very emotional person. He thought a lot about my character, and I thought a lot about my character too. I talked with my acting coach about the character a lot, about his backstory with his father and his emotional life—and then people hate me.”

Tony winner Jesse Tyler Ferguson and nominee Jesse Williams are suiting up again as stars of the baseball-themed Take Me Out, which is set to return to Broadway in the fall. The hit revival will re-take the field October 27 at the Schoenfeld Theatre for 14 weeks, it was revealed today.
