Jacob Tremblay has signed to star in the R-rated comedy “Good Boys” for Universal with production starting in July.

The studio acquired the script by “The Office” alums Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, who will also be making their feature directorial debut.

The movie described as being in the vein of “Superbad “and “Sausage Party” and follows four 12-year-old boys who skip school to embark on a day-long adventure fraught with comedic peril.

Point Grey principals Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver will produce. Good Universe’s Nathan Kahane will executive produce.

Tremblay starred in Lionsgate’s surprise hit “Wonder,” which grossed nearly $300 million worldwide. He broke out in 2015’s “Room” opposite Brie Larson, for which he was nominated for a SAG Award and was recognized by the Broadcast Film Critics and National Board of Review. He will next be seen in “The Predator” and recently wrapped Xavier Dolan

Ione Skye is the latest addition to the cast of the upcoming HBO series “Camping,” which hails from “Girls” creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner.

Skye has been cast in the series regular role of Carleen, who has spent her life in the shadows as a sister, as a hospice worker and as an unsuccessful equestrian. It has left her meek, terrified and relying on her own strange passions, like crocheting with polyester yarn, to get her through the lonely days.

The series is based on the U.K. series of the same name created by Julia Davis. It tells

Kumail Nanjiani, who was nominated for a best original screenplay Oscar for his romantic comedy The Big Sick, will star opposite Dave Bautista in Stuber, an action comedy from Fox.

Michael Dowse, who helmed the hockey movie Goon, is directing the feature that is being produced by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.

Nanjiani will play a mild-mannered Uber driver named Stu that picks up a grizzled cop (Bautista) who is hot on the trail of a brutal killer. The driver finds himself thrust into a harrowing ordeal where he has to keep his wits, his life and his five-star...

With its fifth weekend at #1 and $605 million domestic to date, the incredible ride of “Black Panther” continues. It’s already bigger than “Rogue One”; soon it will surpass the biggest hit of 2017, “The Last Jedi,” and it could gross another $100 million before its theatrical run is finished.

There aren’t many comps for a performance like this. The only prior blockbuster to open in February was “Deadpool,” which grossed nearly 90 percent of its final gross by its fifth weekend. “The Avengers” and “Wonder Woman” made 16 percent of their total take after weekend five with summer playtime to increase weekday totals (but also faced elevated competition).

Extrapolate those three titles against to “Black Panther” and its final domestic gross could be from $670 million-$720 million; my guess is the upper range of $690 million-$710 million.

Why better than “Deadpool”? Four reasons stand out.

Reduced competition. The upcoming release calendar doesn’t look particularly strong,

Henry Cavill has shaved his infamous mustache — and posted a dramatic tribute video to prove it. “Oh, hello,” the newly stubble-free actor said in the Instagram video on Tuesday. “Don’t be alarmed — it’s me, Henry Cavill. Sometimes superhero, and former secret agent. But now, completely clean shaven.” He added, “sometimes, I even have trouble recognizing myself. This is not CGI, he’s really gone. I can tell you this though, I will remember him. Always.” Also Read: 'Justice League' Fans React to Henry Cavill's Mustache Removal: 'This Is F-king Real?!'

Andrew Garfield's search for a missing woman devolves into a surreal journey throughout Los Angeles' mysterious locales in the debut trailer for Under the Silver Lake.

The clip opens with Garfield's protagonist, Sam, gazing out his window at Sarah (Riley Keough), a bubbly neighbor swimming in the apartment pool. He is in love with her, but when he knocks on her door the next day, he realizes she's moved out without telling him.

"Who moves out in the middle of the night?" Sam asks his landlord. "Nothing strange about it,

Mark Hamill late Tuesday night shared a picture of a painting in his London hotel room that contained a special image: a figure that looked just like Princess Leia from Star Wars: A New Hope. 

"Sooooo.... Look who I found looking over my shoulder in a painting on the wall of my London hotel room. Coincidence? I Don't Think So! #AlwaysWithMe," Hamill tweeted along with the painting. 

Fans were quick to point out that not only did the figure look like Fisher's character, but also its pose in the painting was similar to that of Princess Leia's...

IndyCar, the auto racing league behind the Indianapolis 500, is driving over to NBC after spending decades at rival ABC.

The Indianapolis 500, one of the best-known races in motorsports, will appear on NBC in 2019, as part of the switch, marking the first time since 1965 that the race will not be broadcast on the Walt Disney-owned network.

Under terms of the three-year deal, NBC Sports will own the rights to present all IndyCar races, qualifying, practices, and Indy Lights races across its platforms beginning in 2019. The Indianapolis 500 and seven additional Verizon IndyCar Series races will be broadcast annually on NBC, with

Jim Carrey has unveiled yet another topical masterpiece on Twitter, only this time it’s not aimed at a member of Donald Trump’s administration, but the king of social media. The comedian tweeted out his latest creation on Tuesday, which featured none other than Mark Zuckerberg, who wore a cheery grin, accompanied by a less than friendly “quote.” “They trust me, dumb f—s,” read the line positioned between the Facebook boss’ head and a giant “thumbs down” (or “dislike”) button. “Who are you sharing your life with? #regulatefacebook” Carrey wrote alongside the image, referencing the recent news of a Facebook hack many...

Stephen Colbert once again tackled the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Facebook's lack of response in a blistering Late Show monologue Tuesday.

"Does anybody here use Facebook? Still? The company is reeling from revelations that they allowed the private information of 50 million Americans to be harvested by the Trump campaign's consulting firm Cambridge Analytica," Colbert said. "Cambridge Analytica, by the way, also the scientific name for John Oliver."

Colbert also noted that Facebook's value had plummeted $36 billion in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and that, despite the uproar,

Fox’s “9-1-1,” an eye-popping drama about cops and rescue workers, is chock full of interesting characters. One of them doesn’t get a shout-out in the opening credits.

If you’ve watched the Ryan Murphy-produced drama, which has shown a man falling out of an upside-down roller coaster and a metal bar piercing another fellow’s cranium, you’ve no doubt noticed a few members of the stellar cast. There’s Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, an L.A.P.D. patrol sergeant with a troubled marriage; Peter Krause as a fire captain with a dark past; and Connie Britton as Abby Clark,

If Katie Couric tells you it’s time to get a colonoscopy, then you better hop to it. Even if she demands it be on camera. Actually, especially if she demands it be on camera. Couric surprised Jimmy Kimmel on his ABC late-night show Tuesday with a trip to get the exploratory procedure for the very first time. Of course, she was happy to go with him, having famously done the same thing herself on the “Today” show back in March 2000, after her husband Jay Monahan died of colon cancer at the age of 42. Bright side: Kimmel’s colon is looking just fine....

If you tweet with poor spelling and grammar from time to time — you might be crazy. That was certainly the implication on the set of “Morning Joe” Wednesday morning. After President Trump released a typo-laden tweet this morning, show co-host Mika Brzezinski suggested it raised new questions about his mental fitness for office. “He’s renewing his attacks on Bob Mueller this morning in writing, in a series of misspelled tweets which should tell you something about state of mind,” said Brzezinski.

President Donald Trump was tweeting up a storm Wednesday morning, but it may have been a little too early for the commander-in-chief who had to delete one of those tweets after working in no less than five typos. “Special Council is told to find crimes wether crimes exist or not. I was opposed to the the selection of Mueller to be Special Council, I still am opposed to it. I think President Trump was right when he said there never should have bee a Special Council appointed because…..,” the tweet read. That’s three misspellings of “Special Council,” “the the” and of...
