As his next film comes together, an intense bidding war has broken out among the major studios; three have emerged as the top contenders for the project, which is set in 1969 and revolves (at least in part) around the Manson family murders.

Not long after Matt Reeves took over directing duties on The Batman, rumors began swirling about Ben Affleck’s potential exit from the DCEU.

Two More Women Accuse Jeremy Piven of Sexual Assault as 2013 Allegation Resurfaces
You’d be forgiven if — somewhere between Harvey Weinstein, Brett Ratner, Kevin Spacey, and the numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault leveled against them (and others) in recent weeks — you had forgotten about Jeremy Piven.

This afternoon, the New York premiere of Louis C.K.’s upcoming film I Love You, Daddy was canceled amid reports that the New York Times was on the verge of publishing a major story about the comedian. That story is, as many suspected, a damning exposé on C.K.’s history of alleged sexual misconduct. Five women went on the record with the Times to share stories of uncomfortable encounters with C.K., the oldest of which dates back to the late ’90s.
‘Game Night’ Trailer: Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams Night of Fun Goes Haywire
Their screenplay work on Spider-Man: Homecoming may have been wonderful, but John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein don’t have the most impressive track record when it comes to directing comedies. (See: Vacation, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.) However — and that’s a big however — the trailer for their latest movie, Game Night, looks like it just might be a total blast.
Articles About Bryan Singer’s Alleged Assaults Mysteriously Vanish Along With His Twitter Account
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, numerous women have (and continue to) come forward with allegations about the former Hollywood executive’s history of sexual harassment, assault and rape. He’s not the only one. Dozens of brave women and men have spoken out in recent weeks with similar accusations about Kevin Spacey, filmmaker and producer James Toback, and others.

And one of the names most frequently uttered on social media in recent weeks is that of director and producer Bryan Singer.

Disney Ends Ban on LA Times Following Backlash and Boycott
That was extremely fast. Disney has officially ended a ban placed on the Los Angeles Times following the paper’s three-part story investigating the corporation’s business dealings in Anaheim (home to Disneyland parks).

Kevin Spacey Accused of Sexually Assaulting Richard Dreyfuss’ Son as Sony Considers ‘All the Money in the World’ Delay
Following his suspension from Netflix in the wake of a growing number of sexual assault and harassment allegations, Kevin Spacey has found himself at the center of another damning accusation.

Tyrese Gibson Threatens to Quit ‘Fast and Furious 9’ If Dwayne Johnson Returns
Each new development in the Fast and Furious feud is somehow more delightful and absurd than the last. First there was the highly-publicized beef between Dwayne Johnson and Vin “Candyass” Diesel. Then Tyrese Gibson got involved when it was announced that Johnson is headlining a spinoff. That quickly escalated when Universal pushed back the release of Furious 9 to make room for the spinoff, and now, a few irate Instagram posts later, here we are: Tyrese Gibson is threatening to quit the Fast fam if Dwayne Johnson returns for the ninth movie.
