The only reason Murder Mystery 2 or even its predecessor exists is as a star vehicle in the most literal sense of the word. The recipe is simple: Sign Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, put them in glamorous locations with lots of action and schtick, and then set it loose on a global platform – Netflix – that can easily sell these kinds of recognizable shenanigans in all points of the world. It worked in 2019, and it works again now, only this time with the action and stunts so ramped up they almost overtake the plot, such as it is. The template and characters were firmly established in the original which had our stars caught up in a murder in which they were suspects, but eventually save the day before the entire cast of characters wind up dead in the process.

“I didn’t want to talk I’m too drunk,” said director Jonathan Levine after the screening of the world premiere of his film Long Shot on Saturday at SXSW. Levine, who was joined on the stage by stars Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen, O’Shea Jackson, June Diane Raphael and Ravi Patel, admitted that he was nervous that no one was going to like the comedy, which follows an unlikely romance between a by-the-book, influential politician (Theron) and her super-progressive speechwriter (Rogen).
When the mic was passed to Theron to say a few words about her role she admitted, “I don’t know why I have a mic because I’m drunk too!”
Then it was Rogen’s turn. He didn’t say whether or not he was drunk but he did admit that everyone — like Levine — was nervous. “I don’t know what to say,” he said. He started talking about Boyz II Men,...

Start spreading the news, John Goodman is packing his bags and is on the verge of heading to the Coldest City, Focus Features’ upcoming war-time thriller to be directed by John Wick‘s David Leitch.
Deadline has the scoop, with the outlet reporting that the Trumbo scene-stealer has opened negotiations to join the project, which would see him star opposite James McAvoy and Mad Max: Fury Road‘s Charlize Theron. According to Deadline, Goodman is in line to play an American agent, one who assists both McAvoy and Theron’s agents as they attempt to leverage a masterplan from opposite sides of the Berlin wall.
Set during the twilight years of the city-dividing monument (i.e. 1989), Coldest City is a spy thriller in every sense, with Theron and McAvoy setting aside personal differences in order to foil a potentially destructive ploy that would expose the real-life identities of all spies...

David Leitch’s war-time spy thriller Coldest City has recruited X-Men: Apocalypse actor James McAvoy. He joins Charlize Theron in the adaptation of the eponymous Oni Press graphic novel.
Leitch, who is perhaps best known for co-directing last year’s white-knuckle ride John Wick, takes point for this one. Working from a script produced by Kurt Johnstad, the director’s foray behind the lens will be set against the fall of the Berlin Wall circa 1989. Specifically, Coldest City takes place on the eve of the barrier’s destruction, telling the gripping tale of two spies working to locate and destroy a blacklist containing the names of secret agents operating on both sides of the wall.
Not only will Charlize Theron star in the feature, but the actress is also set to produce with Leitch. Furthermore, Beth Kono, A.J. Dix, Eric Gitter, Peter Schwerin and Kelly McCormick will each assume producing duties,...
