What Do We Know About the upcoming comic book series Spider-Noir? More thank you may think. The first Sony-produced television series as part of their Spider-man Universe, Spider-Noir, has many fans excited about what the series will be. We know some cool stuff about the upcoming series, from set photos to casting details. So, let’s jump in and discuss.

Nicolas Cage is not playing Peter Parker.

After voicing the character’s animated version in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and Across The Spider-Verse, Nicolas Cage’s casting as the Noir version excited people. To differentiate the project from the film adaptation and the various versions of Spider-Man’s alter ego, the series will present a different take on the Noir hero by making him someone other than the character played by Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, or Tobey Maguire in live-action. Who this Spider-Man’s alter ego is remains to be seen.

Sony and Amazon/MGM's Spider-Noir series appears to be taking some major liberties with the source material, but given how obscure this Variant of the web-slinger is, does it really matter if "Ben Reilly" is beneath the mask instead of Peter Parker?

That's debatable; regardless, Sony appears to be ignoring the fact Ben is Peter's clone and we don't anticipate that being addressed in any way when Spider-Noir swings on to streaming next year.

Today, we have some new photos from the TV show's set (via Just Jared) showcasing Nicolas Cage's private eye. We've already seen that the series will feature a comic-accurate superhero costume and Cage unquestionably looks the part of "Ben" in these snaps.

Earlier this year, Cage opened up on what led to him reprising a role he first played in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

"I know that the phone's going to be...

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, adapting bigger and bolder storylines to live-action, Sony too is moving ahead with its Spider-Man Universe. Having access to some 900 or so characters related to the fan-favorite web-slinger, the studio is now moving to the small screen to bring yet another story to live-action.

Starring Nicolas Cage, the studio has been developing the series Spider-Noir for quite some time now, and the first looks of the series were recently leaked. Reprising his role from the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, this time in live-action, fans are excited and waiting eagerly for the series.

Despite Sony’s track record of Marvel flicks (other than the Spider-Verse movies) being, bluntly stating, terrible, the prospect of seeing Cage as the live version of his character does seem alluring. So, without further ado, here is all we know about the latest and upcoming series.

Given that it's being developed by Sony, there's been some concern among fans that Amazon's Spider-Noir series starring Nicolas Cage might not see the title character actually suit up. 

Peter Parker has already been replaced by Ben Reilly as Spider-Man Noir, but newly revealed photos and footage from the show's set confirm we're getting a comic-accurate take on the wall-crawling private detective. 

The hero looks like he's stepped straight off the page with a design that's also pretty much identical to what we saw in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Based on how this scene is playing out, Ben will see a fair bit of action as he rides atop a car while shooting webs into the distance. He also has his trademark hat and goggles, though we should point out that it's a stuntman in the suit, not Cage.

Cage will be joined in the series by Lamorne Morris (as...

The gross-out high school comedy: we all get older, they stay the same. “Incoming” marks the genre’s latest addition, a Netflix release written and directed by Dave and John Chernin, who cut their teeth on the landmark vulgarity of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” before creating the short-lived but memorably raucous Fox comedy “The Mick.” The filmmaking brothers’ story for “Incoming” is chock-full of tried-and-true tropes: the rizzless freshman, the grump sister, the wannabe ladies’ man, the blond queen bee. But the Chernins manage a jaunty pace that energizes these familiar ingredients, more in the gag department than in the film’s superficial dramatic components.

Fourteen-year-old boys aren’t the most complicated people on Earth, and “Incoming” knows it, establishing its main ensemble with a punchy opening act that benefits from the Chernins’ sitcom background. Four uncertain young men have entered the gauntlet of high school. Benj (Mason Thomas...

Netflix has just released the trailer for the new raunchy high school comedy from the Chernin brothers — Dave Chernin and John Chernin — who are veterans of irreverent shows It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the tragically cut-short Fox sitcom The Mick. The Chernins reunite with The Mick‘s Kaitlin Olson and Thomas Barbusca in Incoming. The cast includes Mason Thames, Ramon Reed, Raphael Alejandro, Isabella Ferreira, Bardia Seiri, Loren Gray, Ali Gallo, Scott MacArthur, Thomas Barbusca, Kim Hawthorne, Victoria Moroles, Kayvan Shai, with Kaitlin Olson and Bobby Cannavale.

Dave and John Chernin write and direct the film. The producers on the movie include Nicholas Stoller, Conor Welch, Todd Garner, Mark Korshak, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Peter Principato and Ben Silverman.

"This isn't just a party... this is our future!" Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a party movie comedy called Incoming, arriving to watch on Netflix streaming later this summer. It's set for an end-of-summer release just before all the kids go back to school. Four freshmen are faced with the greatest challenge for their young lives: their first high school party. Directed by brothers John and Dave Chernin (of "The Mick" series), Incoming is full of all kinds of wild & crazy things going down. Creating their own party comedy, the Chernins add: "We landed on the title of Incoming and realized, 'Oh, this is four freshmen having this weird early-life identity crisis.' That kind of became the engine..."

There is lots of news dribbling out of Netflix today.

While we don’t have many details, we might as well get the discussion started.

Here’s what we’ve got.

Adam Sandler Revives Happy Gilmore

For fans of Adam Sandler, the movie Happy Gilmore might be one of his greatest achievements.

Golfers rarely get the movie star treatment despite the amount of money that goes to the winners, but this 1996 movie uses adversity to push him toward the big prize.

Today, Netflix announced that they’d be reviving Mr. Gilmore, but little else is known.

Should some of Happy’s old rivals return?

Christopher McDonald played Happy’s rival Shooter McGavin, and he mentioned the project in March.

Whether that means he’ll be along for the ride remains to be seen.

Jennifer Lawrence produces and stars in No Hard Feelings, a raunchy sort-of rom-com that’s much sweeter at heart than it initially appears on the surface. As a result, the tone is all over the place, but it ultimately wins you over, thanks to committed comic performances from the two leads.

Directed by Gene Stupnitsky (who made Good Boys), the film stars Lawrence as Maddie, a 32-year-old native of New England beachside town Montauk, who’s about to lose her home because of the exorbitant tax rates, and because she’s recently lost the car she depends on for her job as an Uber driver. With her options running out, she answers an ad on Craigslist from two wealthy, well-meaning...

In these dark times in which we live, the line between satire and horror can be so razor-thin as to barely exist at all. Peacock’s Craig Robinson comedy Killing It is ostensibly a comedy about how badly the American economic system is stacked against anyone who isn’t already well-off. But its humor is so cutting, and so often feels not that far removed from reality, that I often spend more time covering my face during episodes than laughing.

This is not a complaint, mind you. The series, created...

No Hard Feelings is finally coming into your homes. The R-rated raunchy comedy movie starring Jennifer Lawrence in the lead is releasing on digital, Blu-ray, and DVD this month. No Hard Feelings is set to be released digitally on August 15 and on Blu-ray and DVD on August 29.

Lawrence’s raunchy comedy premiered in theaters on June 23, 2023, after which it enjoyed an above-average theatrical run. While the reviews for the are relatively good much of the audience felt like this movie would have been great if it was released at least 10 years ago.

No Hard Feelings follows Maddie Barker (Lawrence), a strapped-for-cash Uber driver who loses her car and is on the brink of losing her childhood home. That’s when she gets an offer from a wealthy couple to date their extremely introverted son, which is where the comedy comes from.

The R-rated comedy also stars Andrew Barth Feldman as Percy,...

Gene Stupnitsky’s raunchy R-rated comedy, No Hard Feelings, is coming to the home market later this month. According to Sony Pictures, the hilarious and decidedly horny comedy releases on Blu-ray and DVD on August 29, with the Digital release coming next week on August 15. Extras for the home release of No Hard Feelings include Outtakes & Bloopers, A Motley Crew: Meet the Characters, and A Little Wrong: Making No Hard Feelings.

The spicy comedy tells the story of Maddie, a woman on the brink of losing her home who finds a curious job listing: parents looking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old son out of his shell before college. Maddie’s mission is to cure Percy Becker (Andrew Barth Feldman) of his insecurity and turn him into a medalist in the Bedroom Olympics if you catch my drift.

The comedy comes from Gene Stupnitsky, who co-wrote 2011’s Bad Teacher and 2009’s Year One.

Killing It returns for Season 2 on Peacock later this month, and to get people excited, the streaming service is airing select episodes across multiple platforms.

The streaming service announced Monday that the first three episodes of the Craig Robinson comedy are available to stream on YouTube and TikTok.

Additionally, the first two episodes from Season 1 will air tonight, August 7, at 11 p.m. Et, on USA Network following WWE Monday Night Raw.

The move is in anticipation of Killing It Season 2's premiere on August 17, 2023, on the streaming service.

On the first season, Craig Foster (Robinson) teams up with his Uber driver, Jillian (Claudia O'Doherty), to enter a state-sponsored snake-hunting contest in hopes of achieving the American dream and becoming a successful entrepreneur.

The second season picks up a year later, as Craig and Jillian take the money they won from the Florida Python Challenge and use it to buy a saw palmetto berry farm.

As the calendar turns to August, Peacock is going to be home to some of the most exciting sporting events and movies on streaming. In addition to being the streaming home for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the NBCUniversal streaming service will host the WWE’s Summerslam, college football’s premiere Week 0 matchup between Notre Dame and Navy from Ireland.

In addition to all of the sports action, the streamer will become the exclusive streaming home of the most successful movie of the year, all of Hallmark Channel’s Summer Nights movies, and one of the most exciting Viking epics ever made.

Cinema roll-call! Alright, it’s the Summer movie season, and what stalwarts have already taken over the multiplex? Big superhero epic? Check and double-check! Action blockbuster franchises? Check? Family-friendly animated features? Check! Raunchy slapstick comedy? Hello…Anyone there? Oh yes, finally it’s here just as Summer officially begins. And this is indeed rated “R” as in raunchy, ribald, and risque. much in the same vein as The Hangover trilogy and the American Pie dynasty of flicks (theatres and straight-to-video). Oh, for those of you that think these flicks are too “low brow” and “classless”, well the “above the title” star is an Oscar winner, so there! And if you think such a genre is “beneath her”, I’m sure she hopes you’ll laugh and that there will be No Hard Feelings.

The star in question is Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the “barely making ends meet” Maddie Barker. She...
