Netflix finalized the deal, which has a budget of “$75 million or more,” according to bidding sources.

The story is about “two scientists who discover that a meteor will strike the Earth in six months. They go on a media tour trying to warn the world but find an unreceptive and unbelieving populace.”

“She’s what folks in the 17th century used to call ‘a dynamite act.’ And the fact that Netflix sees this movie as a worldwide comedy sets the bar high for me and my team in an exciting and motivating way,” said Adam in a statement.

The movie is set to begin principal photography in April, with a hope to release the movie later this year.

Back in the end of 2017, Jennifer announced she was taking a break from acting. As previously announced, she’ll also be starring in a movie called Mob Girl.

Michael Shannon has a new television role lined up!

The 45-year-old The Shape of Water actor will portray the late businessman Dr. Jerry Buss in HBO’s upcoming drama series about the “professional and personal lives” of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s, Variety reports.

Jerry was the majority owner of the Lakers, winning 10 league championships. His character “redefines American sports, celebrity, and wealth by transforming the Lakers into a dynasty but his house of cards threatens to collapse on him—and the people he loves most.”

The “Untitled Showtime Lakers Project” is based on Jeff Pearlman‘s book “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s.”

Adam McKay will executive produce and direct the pilot.

Will Ferrell and producer pal Adam McKay have decided to go their separate ways.

The two first met when they were hired on the same day by Saturday Night Live back in 1995. 13 years later, they formed the multi-platform comedy generating production company Gary Sanchez, later branching into a female-centric offshoot, Gloria Sanchez.

Together, they worked on tons of comedies together including Anchorman, Step Brothers, and Daddy’s Home. Will starred in the films while Adam directed.

“The last 13 years could not have been more enjoyable and satisfying for the two of us at Sanchez Productions,” the two said in a statement via Deadline. “We give massive thanks to our incredible staff and executives and all the writers, directors and actors we worked with through the years. The two of us will always work together creatively and always be friends. And we recognize we are lucky as hell to end this venture as such.”

It is being reported that they will remain friends, but their production companies will dwindle down after releasing their existing projects.

Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb are a picture perfect couple at the 2019 Academy Awards on Sunday (February 24) at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Sam was also spotted embracing Helen Mirren on the red carpet, as well as pairing up with Vice director Adam McKay and his wife Shira Piven.

Vice is nominated for eight awards, including Best Picture.

The Oscars are being presented without a host for the first time in 30 years. The show kicks off at 8pm EST/5pm PST on ABC.

Christian Bale happily hits the red carpet alongside his wife Sibi while attending the premiere of his film Vice held during the 2019 Berlin International Film Festival at Berlinale Palace on Monday (February 11) in Berlin, Germany.

The 45-year-old actor was also joined at the big premiere by writer-director Adam McKay.

Earlier in the day, Christian and Adam also attended a press conference and photo call for Vice, and Christian dished about how transforming himself into former Vice President Dick Cheney made him feel “like a bullfrog.”

“Like a bullfrog. Or sometimes he’s been described as a walrus,” Christian expressed. “I built up my neck so I felt like I could take anything … I just felt like a bulldozer all day long. It’s lovely to have a challenge… it seemed almost impossible.”

Amy Adams is the lady in red while walking the carpet at the Vice premiere on Thursday night (February 7) at the Cinema Gaumont Opera in Paris, France.

The 44-year-old actress was joined by the film’s writer and director Adam McKay. Both of them are nominated for Oscars later this month, but first they’ll be attending the BAFTAs this weekend in London.
