Madonna Biopic At Universal Not Moving Forward

Well before he was Spider-Man, Tom Holland was best known for his acclaimed role in the musical, “Billy Elliott: The Musical,” where the actor could be found jumping and dancing around. Now, years later, it appears Holland is about to break out his dancing shoes once again for a Fred Astaire biopic, and he’s found the perfect director to bring the story to the screen, Paul King.

EXCLUSIVE: Black Bear International has launched international sales on Fred & Ginger, the musical about the passionate and explosive relationship between Hollywood dance legends, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Harrison Ford has recalled saving a hiker in his helicopter who was stranded on the Table Mountain in Wyoming.The actor, who has trained as a pilot, detailed his rescue of Sarah George, 20, on July 31, 2000 during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.“Well, one time we picked up this woman who was hypothermic on the mountain,” Ford said. “She barfed in my cowboy hat but didn’t know who I was until the next day.”Ford, who has saved several hikers in the past, explained that he no longer assists with rescue missions due to the subsequent attention.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has been released.Shared during the 2023 Super Bowl, the 30-second Big Game Spot sees Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones at his whip-cracking best. The clip sees Jones in a variety of perilous-looking situations with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) turning up to “rescue him” before the pair are forced to jump out of a plane before it crashes. Elsewhere the new trailer for Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny gives fans another look at Mads Mikkelsen’s villainous Voller, who was reportedly based on the real-life Nazi-turned-NASA-engineer Wernher von Braun. “My memory’s a little fuzzy, are you still a Nazi,” Jones asks him, before swiftly punching him in the face.“A legend will face his destiny” reads the tagline.The synopsis for Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny reads: “Experience the return of legendary hero, Indiana Jones, in the fifth instalment of this beloved swashbuckling series of films.

Harrison Ford's in-flight air history with vintage planes is so shaky this his wife, Calista Flockhart, refuses to fly with him. She will, though, fly with the "Indiana Jones" star when he pilots other aircraft. Calista's reluctance is based on multiple incidents Harrison has had over the years, particularly his 2015 crash onto a Southern California golf course. In that incident, the acting icon broke his arm and suffered head injuries after crash landing his World War II-era airplane on a fairway at Santa Monica's Penmar Golf Course following an engine failure."My wife does not fly with me in vintage airplanes anymore — she will in others," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I certainly don't want to have to recover from that kind of accident again.

At 80 years old, Harrison Ford is busier than ever. He’s the star of an AppleTV+ dramedy in “Shrinking” with Jason Segel, he plays a hardnosed cowboy in the “Yellowstone” prequel series, “1923,” and he’s joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will be playing General Thunderbolt Ross in “Captain America: New World Order” (and possibly may turn up in “Thunderbolts” too).

Steven Spielberg’s “Indiana Jones” franchise is generally well-beloved, and yes, it has its mystical, supernatural, and paranormal elements—see the end of “Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade” or even, hell, the end of “Raiders Of The Lost Ark.” Geez, there were all kinds of wild iterations that almost made it to the screen like “Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars,” Frank Darabont’s “Indiana Jones and The City of The Gods,” but for whatever reason, the alien elements in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull,” were a bridge too far for most audiences.

It’s not controversial to say that Harrison Ford has gotten older, especially when you consider his age when he starred in the first “Indiana Jones” film back in 1981.

It’s no Millennium Falcon! Harrison Ford revealed that Calista Flockhart refuses to fly in “vintage” planes with him after his near-fatal accident in 2015.

The proposed new Michael Jackson biopic will glorify a man who abused children, according to the director of Leaving Neverland.

EXCLUSIVE: Tosin Cole, Michael Gandolfini, Nadine Marshall, James Norton and Anthony Welsh have joined the cast of the untitled Bob Marley biopic for Paramount. Kingsley Ben-Adir has been set to portray the legendary reggae star, with Lashana Lynch playing his wife Rita. King Richard director Reinaldo Marcus Green is helming.

On tonight's episode of Dragons’ Den, one Scots entrepreneur is hoping to secure a money investment for his business.

Barrett Strong, artist and songwriter credited with having given Motown its first hit with “Money (That’s What I Want),” has died. He was 81.

Coming clean! Hilary Duff isn’t just on good terms with ex Joel Madden — she and husband Matthew Koma are besties with the rocker and his wife, Nicole Richie. 

The Madonna biopic that has been in production since 2020 has reportedly been shelved, after the pop star decided that she’d rather focus on preparing for and embarking upon her recently announced 40th anniversary world tour.If you’re wondering why it matters that Madonna isn’t going to be around to work on this biopic venture, then you must have forgotten that she was on board to both write and direct the film. So, you know, she was sort of required.According to Variety, Universal Pictures has now decided not to go ahead with the project, as Madonna doesn’t want any distractions to take away from work on her new live show.

The Material Girl’s biopic will no longer be materializing. Despite a long casting process to hire someone to play the Queen of Pop, Madonna has scrapped the biopic film she was going to direct herself and is instead going to go out on tour (via Variety and THR).

One can only imagine the blank check that Bill Lawrence has from Apple TV+ after the massive success of his “Ted Lasso,” which he co-created and has won the company dozens of awards, putting them on the TV map. He used that cachet for this week’s likable dramedy “Shrinking,” a show that almost brazenly sets up character archetypes and then asks its cast to push through the clichés of their shallow descriptions.

My guest this week is Jason Segel. 

Pete Davidson loves a good theme park date, and this time was no exception!
