Quibi Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Back when Quibi was still a thing, it was announced that the Farrelly Brothers were teaming up with an all-star cast to bring “The Now” to the mobile streamer. Then Quibi died and the scraps were bought by Roku.

Quibi is alive! Okay, not really. But maybe the content library of “quick bites” will have a new home soon enough, thanks to Roku.

Back in April, a little more than six months ago, everyone at Quibi thought they had the next big thing on their hands. The infant streaming service had earned $1.75 billion in capital and promised to revolutionize how people stream content, relying mostly on the idea that people want to watch “quick bite” content on their phones.

Short-form streaming service Quibi is closing down just over six months since launching, the company has announced.

Back in April, a little more than six months ago, everyone at Quibi thought they had the next big thing on their hands.

As is pointed out in the new trailer for the Quibi docuseries, “Big Rad Wolf,” you couldn’t go anywhere during the 2000s without seeing an American Apparel ad. And you probably remember those clothing ads for their surprising lack of, well, clothing.

A woman’s body goes through all sorts of potentially scary transformations during pregnancy. It’s the natural result of hormones going crazy from a living being growing inside of another human body.

When Quibi launched earlier this year, the platform was hoping that a mixture of new technology and A-list talent would drive interesting in its mobile-first streaming service. Unfortunately, that didn’t totally pan out, and the company is struggling to remain in business, reportedly.

Halloween is about a month away. And though the rules of trick-or-treating may have been affected by the COVID pandemic that doesn’t mean streaming services aren’t teeing up their forthcoming horror offerings.

An early adopter of all and any filmmaking techniques, when director Steven Soderbergh isn’t innovating on his own (he’s a forerunner of digital filmmaking), mentoring talent, or writing three screenplays in the middle of a pandemic, he’s often acting as a godfather, advisor, and no-fee broker on a project simply because he believes in the artists involved and has always had an eye for talent.

To say 2020 has been a rough year for Quibi only paints half of the picture. Sure, company’s go through rough patches, as many are finding themselves in right now during the global pandemic.

As the great streaming glut of 2020 threatened to drown audiences in content—Disney+, HBO Max, AppleTV+ Peacock, etc.— in the confusion of it all (and untimely pandemic), viewers were content to skip the new microcontent mobile app and streaming service, Quibi.

Let’s not beat around the bush—Quibi has struggled since its launch this spring. Even with a massive marketing budget and a debut during a time when people were streaming more than ever, the newest online content platform just hasn’t been able to really catch on.

Ron Cephas Jones and his daughter, Jasmine, achieved this milestone in 2020, when they were recognized for their respective performances on and the Quibi series .For Ron, 63, it marks his fourth consecutive nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for playing William on the NBC series, whereas Jasmine is up for her first Emmy — Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series — for her gripping performance as Tyisha.While Ron has won one Emmy so far, Jasmine tells ET’s

Laurence Fishburne, Stephan James and Jasmine Cephas Jones and executed produced by Antoine Fuqua, is the powerful Quibi series about an innocent man (James) suspected of being involved in the death of a police officer. After barricading himself in his apartment with his girlfriend (Jones) and young son, a standoff between Rayshawn and the SWAT team plays out on social media while Lt.

Maya Rudolph’s anticipated return to to reprise her Emmy-nominated impression of Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, they can catch her making a musical appearance on. And ET has the first look at her unexpected turn on the Quibi series. “We were so lucky to get her to do the show before she became famous,” co-writer and star John Lutz () tells ET about landing a coveted guest role by Rudolph, who is now a three-time 2020 Emmy nominee.

pursued by a relentless LAPD cop (Kiefer Sutherland).“I definitely re-watched [the 1993 film],” Holbrook, 38, tells The Post. “I also watched the original TV show, which the film was based on.

on Quibi, Devine and his celebrity pals travel to different far-flung locations to do dangerous activities. Each episode features a new jaunt with a well-known friend.“For the most part, everyone I talked to [who appears on the show] was excited,” Devine, 36, tells The Post.

As the director behind films such as “Twilight,” “Lords of Dogtown” and “Thirteen,” director Catherine Hardwicke has a strong eye for poignant and differing ways in telling the coming of age story. Her latest venture finds her in the home of Quibi, the very niche streaming service that has seen big talent but little critical buzz so far in its tenure.

Quibi, the streaming service that still baffles even those subscribed to it, has dropped a trailer for its upcoming remake of The Fugitive.

‘Bad Ideas with Adam Devine’ is an adventure series that goes to different locations and does some dumb things.and Adam Devine is the perfect host for it.In it Adam goes to locations that are naturally pretty dangerous and then tries to one-up the situation to make it especially horrible.

Quibi is an odd streaming service, to say the least. Sure, the whole format is strange with “quick bite” content of roughly 10-minute episodes of series.

Hitman’s Bodyguard stars Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds are set to reteam for a new Quibi animated series.The pair will lend their voices to writers Jim and Brian Kehoe’s Futha Mucka.The news was announced by bosses at the streaming service in a comical press release, which reveals the two will star as themselves.“Futha Mucka will see Jackson play Reynolds’ primary caregiver,” the release states.

When launching a new streaming service, there seems to be a pretty simple (at least, on the surface) formula for success. You combine a healthy library of well-known titles with a bunch of new original series/films featuring A-list actors and/or big-name filmmakers.

Quibi might not be enjoying the massive launch that the company hoped for, but there’s no denying that the streaming service has some impressive talent working on projects, as seen in the upcoming series, “Don’t Look Deeper,” which combines filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke with a pretty great cast.

Kevin Hart is a pretty damn great comedic sidekick in a number of films, especially when he stars opposite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson—such as in “Central Intelligence” and the “Jumanji” films. But in the new Quibi series, “Die Hart,” the actor does his best to learn how to be the badass lead.

What does it take to launch a media company in 2020? Better yet, what does it take to launch a media company that is attempting to create a new type of content in the crowded streaming environment? Lots of money, clearly. And probably, incredible leadership.

In a world where everything is being remade or made with realistic CGI, there is one movie that I would have said should never be remade.The Princess Bride.That movie is a classic and CGI or anything of the like would have ruined the magic and the je ne sais quoi of the original. I say that, but then Quibi released clips of their remake, and I am entirely ok with it.

Beloved 1987 film “The Princess Bride” is getting a DIY makeover from some of Hollywood’s biggest names.Though the project is helmed by “Juno” director Jason Reitman, who has previously staged live readings of the film’s script, the remake was shot entirely at-home by each cast member using their phones.

It’s now mid-June, just over two months from the launch of the streaming service, Quibi, and all signs are pointing to a launch that was incredibly flawed, to say the least. The service has fallen well short of its modest expectations and is spending insane amounts of cash just to keep its name in the streaming conversation.

Let’s be honest, Quibi isn’t doing so hot right now. We are just over two months post-launch and the fledgling streaming service isn’t taking off in the way the executives could have hoped.

It’s common knowledge that the April launch of Quibi didn’t go as well as the company had hoped. After a first week where the app was downloaded millions of times, the new streaming platform that focuses almost entirely on mobile viewing quickly plateaued and fell out of the Top 10 download lists on mobile devices.

Is Quibi a hit? Shoot, will Quibi even survive to 2021? Well, founders Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Witman have already tried to blame its tepid launch on the Coronavirus pandemic so that’s probably not a good sign. And, almost eight weeks after launch it’s currently ranked no.

Darren Criss is becoming a force on TV in recent years. He won a Golden Globe and Emmy award for his work in “American Crime Story,” and he just recently starred in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series “Hollywood.” And now, he’s taking control of his next series, titled “Royalties,” on Quibi.

Darren Criss and Mark Hamill will make history next month (June 2020) when they feature on the first major-label soundtrack release for a Quibi show.

You’ll soon be able to be serenaded by Luke Skywalker himself.
