In honor of the beloved movie’s 20th anniversary, Focus Features is bringing it back to theaters nationwide for a special theatrical event starting on April 20. Tickets are on sale now.

The Oscar-nominated film, directed by Joe Wright, stars Keira Knightley as famed Jane Austen heroine Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Mcfadyen as the smoldering Mr. Darcy. The cast also features Judi Dench, Donald Sutherland, Brenda Blethyn, Rosamund Pike and, in her film debut, Carey Mulligan.

A biopic about Tiger Woods is in the works.

Amazon MGM is developing the film, with Barack and Michelle Obama‘s company Higher Ground in talks to produce it. Deadline first reported the news.

The film will be based on Kevin Cook‘s book The Tiger Slam: The Inside Story of the Greatest Golf Ever Played. It will cover the rise of Woods as a child prodigy who later turned into a golf superstar. Reinaldo Marcus Green, who directed the film King Richard, will helm the movie.

It is expected that the film will focus on Woods’ four major consecutive major championship wins, a feat known as the Tiger Slam. He has won 15 major championships and has 82 PGA Tour victories.

Woods’ personal life, though filled with drama, will reportedly not be depicted in the film. In 2009, several extramarital affairs he took part in came to light, which caused many companies to end their sponsorship deals with him. He was then arrested in 2017 for driving under the influence. In 2021, he survived a car accident, though he sustained leg injuries from the incident.

Along with the Obamas, Irwin Winkler, who produced Goodfellas, Rocky and Creed, is also attached to the project.

Sadie Sink is slinging into Spider-Man 4.

The actress, known for playing Max on Stranger Things, is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man film, Deadline reports. ABC Audio reached out to Sony, but they had no comment. 

While it has not been announced who Sink will portray, the outlet suggests she will play a significant role in the film. It is hinted she could be introduced as the X-Men character Jean Grey, though the outlet does not rule out other options from the Spider-Man universe. Jean Grey has previously been brought to the screen by actresses Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner.

Destin Daniel Cretton will direct the fourth Spider-Man film, taking over for Jon Watts, who helmed the first three. Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige will serve as producers on the project. The sequel comes from both Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios.

Plot details for the fourth MCU Spider-Man film are being kept under wraps.

In the third film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker opened the multiverse and allowed other versions of the Spider-Man character, played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, to appear alongside him. This also caused his identity to be erased from his own universe, making every person who knew and loved him forget he exists.

Holland is currently filming Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey. Production on Spider-Man 4 is expected to begin after he finishes wrapping Nolan’s epic.

Spider-Man 4 will swing into movie theaters on July 31, 2026.

Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.

Fans of Lilo & Stitch are saying “Aloha” to the first official trailer for the live-action reimagining of the animated classic.

Disney unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated film on Wednesday.

The upcoming film follows the story of a young Hawaiian girl and an alien who helps mend her broken family.

Like the animated classic, the trailer introduces fans to Stitch, who is described as a “dangerous experiment.” He escapes from those who are after him in space and lands in Hawaii, where Lilo sees his rocket crash into the Earth, but mistakes it for a shooting star.

We then see Lilo meet Stitch at an animal shelter and the island adventures they embark on.

The trailer also features the classic song from the 2002 film “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” and Elvis Presley‘s “(You’re The) Devil in Disguise.”

Leading up to the release of the official trailer, the film received a big game spot during the Super Bowl in February.

At the time, Disney shared a Super Bowl-themed clip of Stitch running wild across a football field before slamming a cart into the field goal post.

“Sign him IMMEDIATELY,” Disney captioned the video.

A teaser for the film was also released in November 2024.

Maia Kealoha, Sydney Elizabeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere and Chris Sanders, the original voice of Stitch, are set to star, with Courtney B. Vance and Zach Galifianakis in key roles. Dean Fleischer Camp directs the film.

Lilo & Stitch arrives in theaters on May 23.

According to reports, the sequel will follow the band as they reunite after 15 years for a final concert. It will feature cameos from Paul McCartneyElton JohnGarth Books, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Metallica‘s Lars Ulrich and more.

In addition to the new film, a newly restored version of the original will be released in theaters this summer, followed by a digital and streaming platform release.

Millie Bobby Brown says she would shave her head again: ‘Really liberating’

Millie Bobby Brown is interested in shaving her head again.

The 21-year-old actress, who plays Eleven on Stranger Things, recently told host Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast she would be interested in revisiting her character’s iconic shaved head look.

Brown said she initially did not care about shaving her head for the part.

“I didn’t have anxiety, I wasn’t sad when they shaved it off. I just thought, ‘Cool. Now this is what I’m doing,'” she recalled. “I think it started to hit me months and months in,” Brown said.

She then explained why the insecurity started hitting her.

“You get to that age where you’re 11 now and you’re shaving it consecutively every three days because it cannot grow past a certain length because we’re filming. So every time it started to grow and I’d get excited, we’d shave it again. So, I think it [got] to the point where — I was like 11 or 12 — where I was like, the boys started liking girls and I was kind of like, ‘Why are boys not liking me?'”

Now, however, Brown says she is interested in shaving all of her hair off again, this time as a woman.

“Honestly, I still to this day loved the experience and I would do it again,” Brown said. “I always tell [husband] Jake [Bongiovi], for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off. It was really liberating, I would suggest it for anyone — any girl.”

Brown called the feeling of having a shaved head liberating, reiterating that shaving it off before giving birth would be ideal.

“I just think hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with. I’m gonna nurture my child, why deal with my hair?” she said. “I had that experience as a girl, but I’d like to have that experience as a woman.”

Sophia Bush talks ‘really exciting’ ‘One Tree Hill’ sequel series

Sophia Bush is ready to return to One Tree Hill.

The actress, who starred on the WB/CW drama series for nine seasons, recently told Deadline at the SXSW festival she is pumped about returning to her character Brooke Davis for a sequel series.

“We’ve been asked about bringing the show back for so long, and I think for so many years, all of us said that would be a hard no,” Bush said.

Now that Bush co-hosts a recap podcast covering One Tree Hill, called Drama Queens, she’s been thinking more about what it would be like to return to it.

“The podcast has given all of us this sort of opportunity to have a homecoming. And to get to analyze what was so special about it in the first place has made that more of a possibility,” Bush said.

What really got her excited about returning was the leadership team. Bush is returning as an executive producer along with co-star Hilarie Burton-Morgan and writer and executive producer Becky Hartman Edwards. Bush said it’s “really exciting to work on such an amazing female leadership team.”

“It’s also really exciting to be at this stage in our lives where everyone gets to bring what they love to do to the table,” Bush said. “Everyone’s getting to bring their particular executive skill to the table now in ways that we didn’t get to do when we were in our mid-20s, so we’re pumped about that.”

The sequel show will take place 20 years after the events of One Tree Hill, and will follow best friends Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer (Burton-Morgan), who are now parents to teens facing challenges similar to what they went through in the original show — like love, insecurities and grief.

Scarlett Johansson won’t return to play Black Widow: ‘We’re going to have to let her go’

Scarlett Johansson doesn’t carry any hope of a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The actress, who starred as Black Widow in the superhero film franchise, told InStyle for a cover story that she does not see a possibility for that character to return.

“Natasha is dead. She is dead. She’s dead. Okay? They just don’t want to believe it,” Johansson said. “They’re like, ‘But she could come back!’ Look, I think the balance of the entire universe is held in her hand. We’re going to have to let her go. She saved the world. Let her have her hero moment.”

Johansson’s Natasha Romonoff was killed off in the 2019 blockbuster Avengers: Endgame. The character appeared in the prequel movie Black Widow, which debuted in theaters in 2021.

Johansson is now gearing up to star in a brand-new film franchise. She’ll appear in the upcoming Universal Pictures film Jurassic World: Rebirth.

Johansson said the studio recently asked if she would join Instagram to help promote the film.

“I mean, even today, I got an email from Universal [Pictures], and they’re like, ‘Hey, would you consider joining Instagram in tandem with the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth?'” Johansson said. “I get a lot of pressure to join social media. [It does make me think] … is there a way where I could do this and stay true to who I am? It didn’t feel like I could.”

The actress said that all of the work she puts out is based in truth and that joining Instagram would not be true to her.

“So if I was a person who really enjoyed social media, then I could totally get on the bandwagon. But I’m not,” Johansson said. “And I think the film will do fine.”
