EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has unveiled a new mockumentary about the making of Cliff Beasts 6: Battle for Everest: Memories of a Requiem, the movie at the center of Judd Apatow’s recently-released comedy, The Bubble.

“My family including my cousin Kanye [West], surprised my grandma for her 85th bday.. Been too long since I (sic) Been was a great day…” wrote Instagram user Lawrenze Franklin (aka @lawrence.the.creator) on Apr. 4. In the video posted by Kanye’s kin on Monday, Ye, 44, met up with his extended family and took part in the surprise for the grandma celebrating her big day. The “Hurricane” rapper didn’t take in these festivities alone. He brought along his new girlfriend, Chaney Jones, and a Chaney fan account captured the meeting.

The Bubble is the latest comedy with a star studded cast to drop on Netflix.

“The Bubble” is not based on the challenging production of “Jurassic World: Dominion” – even though his movie is about a group of actors coming together to make a sequel to a blockbuster franchise about dinosaur-like beasts in London. “It really isn’t based on it at all, other than it seemed fun to do comedic dinosaurs,” Apatow told TheWrap in a recent interview.And yet, when he showed “Jurassic World: Dominion” star Laura Dern his comedy he was relieved that she found it funny.

“The Bubble” may have been partially inspired by the struggles of filming “Jurassic World: Dominion,” but Karen Gillan didn’t actually ask Chris Pratt for any firsthand accounts from his time on set while they were filming. She wishes she would have, though.The comedy, starring Gillan and a whole slew of other famous faces, tells the story of a group of actors trying to film “Cliff Beasts 6” at the height of the COVID pandemic. Of course, because of that, their production starts up and shuts down multiple times, trapping the cast in London for months.

“For once in my life, I wanted to make a movie without having all the responsibilities.” So moans Jeff, the director on the film-within-a-film in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s “Beware of a Holy Whore.” The West German drama sequesters a movie crew in a coastal Spanish hotel, where the combination of cabin fever and psychological discord between a group of insecure, neurotic people breeds the rarefied level of hysteria only found in show business.

The Bubble is not funny. There are jokes. Some of them even land.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticThe COVID-19 pandemic was hard on everyone, not least of all Judd Apatow. Among the many casualties was his last movie, “The King of Staten Island,” which was supposed to open the SXSW film festival, but had to cancel after America went into lockdown. When faced with such challenges, creative people create.

“The Bubble” tells the story of a cast and crew assembling to shoot a franchise blockbuster sequel in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic (inspired by the difficult productions of “Jurassic World: Dominion” and others). Trapped in a hotel for isolation purposes, the cast and crew slowly go mad, and Apatow’s film tackles many of the same issues everyone else experienced during the pandemic – except on a heightened scale.Like with his previous films including “Knocked Up” and “Trainwreck,” Apatow assembled a knockout cast of comedic talent that includes Karen Gillan, Keegan-Michael Key, David Duchovny, Fred Armisen and Leslie Mann.
