are just friends.The half hour Apple TV+ comedy, premiering May 24, is a witty and amusing exploration of the age-old question: is it possible for an adult man and woman to be just, well, platonic friends?The series, co-created and directed by Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”), kicks off when when Sylvia (Byrne) learns that her old friend, Will (Rogen), has gotten divorced. Sylvia — a former lawyer-turned-stay-at-home-mom — feels unfulfilled with her lack of a career and is faced with her children’s waning interest in spending time with her as they become more independent. Will, who brews beer, is a staple of the trendy bar scene. Sylvia and Will were best friends for many years; Will even serving as the “maid of honor” at Sylvia’s wedding.
They’ve been estranged for five years, ever since Sylvia made it known that she didn’t like Will’s (now-ex) wife, Audrey (Alisha Wainwright).Sylvia’s husband, Charlie (Luke Macfarlane), could easily be a one-note character as a human obstacle to Sylvia and Will’s relationship … but he encourages his wife to give Will a call to reconnect with her old pal, even as Sylvia says, “It would be weird. Men and women don’t really hang out at our age.”When the two old friends eventually reconnect, they navigate a close relationship amidst the chaos of their 40something lives.This subject matter isn’t new, but unlike the aforementioned “When Harry Met Sally,” “Platonic” does not explore a “will they or won’t they” subplot, deftly balancing its jokes with a refreshing level of realism. When Sylvia and Will meet in a coffee shop to reconnect for the first time in years, their conversation is painfully awkward — not in an exaggerated comedic way, but in a “we’ve all been there” type of
.The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back with Seth Rogen’s help.
Apple TV+ has unveiled a new super tease, highlighting new footage of several current and upcoming shows, including “The Morning Show” season 3.
Ever since 1990, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” have had a footprint on the big screen. While a new live-action film is years away, producer/co-writer Seth Rogen (“The Boys“) is behind a brand new take on the ‘Ninja Turtles’ franchise with the upcoming animated movie, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” As the quirky new animated pic releases this summer, Paramount has released a brand new trailer.
Sophia Scorziello editor Seth Rogen’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” has released another trailer, previewing the new take on the classic comic book characters Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. The film is set to premiere Aug. 2, 2023. The reptilian brothers are voiced by Micah Abbey (Donatello), Shamon Brown Jr. (Michelangelo), Nicolas Cantu (Leonardo) and Brady Noon (Raphael). Supporting voices include Jackie Chan (Master Splinter), Ayo Edebiri (April O’Neil), Rogen (Bebop), John Cena (Rocksteady), Giancarlo Esposito (Baxter Stockman), Post Malone (Ray Fillet), Paul Rudd (Mondo Gecko), Maya Rudolph (Cynthia Utrom), Hannibal Buress (Genghis Frog), Rose Byrne (Leatherhead), Ice Cube (Superfly) and Natasia Demetriou (Wingnut).
Tom Holland is leading a new psychological thriller – and the Spider-Man actor has “never been more excited to share” a project with his fans. The British actor leads The Crowded Room, which is an adaptation of Daniel Keyes’ 1981 novel The Minds of Billy Milligan.
. Following the success of, and the Chris Pratt-led animated adaptation’s billion-dollar payoff, it’s easy to forget that lower down on the box office leaderboard is Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo’s take on pop culture’s most famous plumbers. When 31-year-old Leguizamo chatted with ET on the set, the fan discussions, including concerns about the character's voices, clearly echoed its 2023 counterpart. “We do a kind of New York, Italian thing,” the actor explained in 1992, demonstrating the dialect for ET’s cameras.
Rose Byrne has dished on her plans to marry Bobby Cannavale. While speaking to People for an interview published on Wednesday, the Platonic star was asked whether she would like to eventually tie the knot with the Boardwalk Empire actor. "I'm more married to him than anybody I've ever been with my whole life," Rose told the outlet.
Alison Herman TV Critic The Apple TV+ comedy “Platonic” is a reunion of the 2014 movie “Neighbors” (and its 2016 sequel “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising”), again pairing stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne with the writer and director Nicholas Stoller. But “Platonic” also models itself after another, more enduring classic: Nora Ephron’s “When Harry Met Sally,” a film explicitly referenced in the pilot of “Platonic” and the greatest work of art drawn from the essentially trite question of whether (straight) men and women can be friends. In “Neighbors,” Rogen and Byrne played spouses. In “Platonic,” they’re long-estranged besties who rekindle their codependent bond. As premises go, it’s a thin one. Ephron’s opus is now 34 years old, and even “When Harry Met Sally” was less seriously engaged with the idea of friendship between the sexes than using the setup as a showcase for Ephron’s wit, Meg Ryan’s charm and Ryan’s chemistry with Billy Crystal. “Men and women don’t really hang out with each other at our age,” says Sylvia (Byrne), a former lawyer who’s now a stay-at-home mother of three. Her argument is half-hearted, unconvincing and immediately dismissed by her husband Charlie (Luke Macfarlane), who encourages Sylvia to get in touch with craft brewer Will (Rogen) in the wake of his divorce.

It looks like it’s bad luck for Aziz Ansari‘s “Good Fortune.” THR reports that the current WGA writers’ strike has forced Lionsgate and Ansari to indefinitely suspend filming on the project. Lionsgate made the decision last night after picketers interrupted filming in LA’s Koreatown two days in a row earlier this week, on May 16 and 17.
EXCLUSIVE: While there isn’t any WGA picketing going on over here on the Croisette before the black-tie clad motion picture industry, the guild is sending shockwaves by staying home: Good Fortune, the Aziz Ansari feature directorial debut which is being sold by Lionsgate here at Cannes, saw its physical production paused last night by WGA protestors.

Apple TV+’s latest half-hour comedy “Platonic” is a joyous reunion of “Neighbors” stars Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen, and that film’s director Nicholas Stoller, in another project that features two people questioning where they’ve ended up in ordinary lives. It works mainly through the power of its casting because Byrne and Rogen have an obvious comedic chemistry, translating what feels like real friendship into something that can be seen on-screen.

Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen are undeniably a dynamic duo.
BreAnna Bell The cast of Apple TV+’s “Platonic” was all smiles and laughs as they celebrated the premiere of their rom-com, but the Wednesday night carpet was clouded by Hollywood’s ongoing writers strike. Some of the show’s stars including longtime friends Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Carla Gallo revealed their thoughts on the face off between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers while walking the green carpet outside of Regal LA Live theater in downtown Los Angeles. “I’m personally distressed by not having any sense of how successful these shows and movies we make for streaming services are,” said Rogen. “The secretiveness only makes me think that they’re making way more money off of all of us than they want to share with anybody. These executives are making insane salaries that you would only make if you are running an incredibly profitable business.”
