Ike Barinholtz Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

What makes history funny? Mel Brooks cracked the code 40 years ago with his classic comedy “History of the World, Part I.” The film takes viewers through various periods ranging from pre-historic to The French Revolution — each one producing hilarious results. A sequel was always part of the joke, even cemented by a fake trailer that teased its upcoming segments.

It’s the long, anticipated follow-up!

Hulu is offering up a first look of History of the World, Part II, the sequel to the seminal Mel Brooks film History of the World: Part I from 1981. It will premiere this spring.

Season 3 of Apple TV+’s animated comedy Central Park will premiere Sept. 9. It will feature original cast member Kristen Bell who is rejoining the series as a new character, Abby, Paige’s (Katherine Hahn) little sister. (first-look image above)

EXCLUSIVE: Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga are set to star New Line and Picturestart’s Sweethearts with Dollface creator Jordan Weiss on board to direct. The film will be produced by Picturestart for New Line Cinema and is currently in production. Weiss also co-wrote the script with Dan Brier. Caleb Hearon, Tramell Tillman and Christine Taylor are also part of the ensemble.

Daniel Pemberton composed the music for Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Lord and Miller then hired him for their Apple TV+ series The Afterparty, but the job was exponentially more complicated.

In “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” Nicolas Cage stars as himself. Or at least, a version of himself.The film finds Cage at a rough spot in his acting career, where he can’t seem to book any big roles.

extraordinary off-screen persona that have transformed Cage into an unwitting walking, talking (and sometimes yelling) meme.The memeification of Cage has in and of itself spurred a Cage-ification of pop culture, and that’s the foundation for Lionsgate’s “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” which stars Cage as his greatest character yet — himself. Rather, a fictionalized, off-the-wall and sometimes CGI-produced young version of himself. The action-comedy spoof, from director-writer Tom Gormican and executive producer Kevin Etten (who previously collaborated on the short-lived Fox sitcom “Ghosted”), sees Cage — on the edge of bankruptcy — accept a $1 million offer to attend an über-wealthy super-fan’s (Pedro Pascal) birthday party at his agent’s behest (Neil Patrick Harris).

Vampire’s Kiss and The Wicker Man alongside lesser-known obscurities like 1991’s erotic spectacle Zandalee and 1993’s noir-ish flop Deadfall, the video expertly served up four minutes of Nicolas Cage screaming his gills off. Cage fans and skeptics alike ate it up.That cut inspired other highlight reels — Nicolas Cage laughing, Nicolas Cage being silent — but it also presaged a decade in which Cage was often treated more as meme than human.

enthusiastically agree with this assessment. The riotous comedy is something of a “Cage Your Enthusiasm.” Like Larry David on the long-running HBO series, Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself who can’t do anything right. Nic’s career has plateaued, he’s hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and his marriage has crumbled — he lives away from his wife (Sharon Horgan) and daughter (Lily Mo Sheen) in the Sunset Towers Hotel and downs whiskey like water. So when his agent (Neil Patrick Harris) gets a $1 million offer for Cage to fly to Mallorca and spend a weekend with a wealthy fan, Javier (Pedro Pascal), the actor has no choice but to hop on a plane to Spain.Soon after arriving, however, he learns that two FBI agents (Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz) are on the hunt for his Spanish host because they believe he’s kidnapped the daughter of a political candidate.Says Haddish to Cage: “I loved you in ‘Croods 2’!” There are so many delicious cracks at his erratic résumé: “Gone in 60 Seconds,” “Face/Off,” “The Rock,” “National Treasure,” they’re all in here. Pascal — whose sensitive, goofy performance is a surprise — gives an emotional speech about how he and his father were brought together by “Guarding Tess.” Hilarious.

Nicolas Cage stepped out with his family and co-stars for the latest screening of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

EXCLUSIVE: WME has signed Ilana Glazer, who is best known for co-creating, showrunning, directing and starring in the hit comedy series Broad City, for representation.

After forty years in show business, what else is there left for Nicolas Cage to do? At his best — for thirty years, in fact — the actor nimbly toed the line between blockbuster action hero and fully committed dramatic performer. Often aware of his onscreen habits and lampooned for his onscreen vocal and physical excesses, Cage intermittently played those expectations for greater dramatic tension and pure comedy.

Nicolas Cage is taking on the role of a lifetime as Nick Cage, the Hollywood actor who has just about had enough of the industry in the new meta-action-comedy “The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent”.

Tiffany Haddish-fronted murder mystery comedy The Afterparty will be back for a second case.

Selome Hailu The mystery continues.Apple TV Plus announced that “The Afterparty” has been renewed for a second season. Tiffany Haddish is confirmed to return in the role of Detective Danner.The series, which hails from Chris Miller and Phil Lord, is a comedic murder mystery where each episode is told in a different genre and from a different character’s perspective. For example, Episode 1 is styled like a romantic comedy, as it follows the narrative of escape room designer Aniq (Sam Richardson), whose primary goal is to reconnect to his high school crush Zoë (Zoë Chao).

Amy Poehler gets sandwiched in by a few of her famous friends at the premiere of Lucy and Desi held at the Directors Guild of America on Tuesday night (February 15) in Los Angeles.

Barinholtz, 42, who played Marcus White, the sophomoric, dim-bulb warehouse supervisor on the sitcom, created by Justin Spitzer (it ended its run last March). “Justin approached me about a show he was going to take out for pilot season — this was 2019 — and without even reading the script I knew it was going to be amazing.”That series was “American Auto” and Barinholtz snared a co-starring role, but COVID shut production down in 2020 just as shooting was about to begin.

On with the television!“The Afterparty”Friday, January 28, Apple TV+Apple’s latest buzzy series is co-written and directed by “21 Jump Street” filmmaker Christopher Miller (his creative partner-in-crime, Phil Lord, is a producer), someone who has gotten very good at upending expectations. (Consider: “The LEGO Movie,” “21 Jump Street” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”) “The Afterparty” takes place at (duh) an afterparty following a high school reunion, where a bunch of friends (and potential enemies) gather after an awkward evening reliving the past.

We should all be so lucky to have Tiffany Haddish sit us down for an unauthorized police interrogation, and stipulate that our witness statements be delivered in the form of a specific movie genre. What fun! Except she’s Tiffany Haddish, and she suffers fools the way giraffes suffer pesky insects—with a huff and a slap.

What do you need to know about “The Afterparty?” Well, it’s almost “Knives Out” as brought to you by Phil Lord and Chris Miller with a stellar cast that includes Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco. You probably don’t even need convincing beyond that.
