There's been a long-running joke that The Fast and the Furious franchise would get so crazy that the characters would eventually venture into space. But is that joke about to become real? In a new interview with Sirius XM's "The Jess Cagle Show", Fast & Furious franchise star Ludacris talked about how the movies' creative team is using the downtime during the coronavirus pandemic to make the next few installments of the series as big and bold as anything they've done. That led host Jess Cagle to bring up the 'Fast & Furious: In Space" joke - and surprisingly enough, Ludacris actually teased that space could be a part of the upcoming Fast 9!

"You just said something very important," Ludacris teases a few moments after the space comment from Cagle. "I will say that you are very intuitive, cause you said something right, but I'm not going to give it away."

If you actually go back and watch the F9 trailer, it looks like there's actually multiple hints at some kind of space or low-orbit mission in the footage. We see Ludacris' character Tej and Tyrese's Roman Pierce meet up with Lucas Black's Sean Boswell from Tokyo Drift. That crazy crew seems to be working on some kind of contraption involving a car that's been fitted with a rocket booster. We figured the team just really needed a burst of speed for a key piece of the mission - but hey, maybe they're about to go aerial?

A reboot of “The Wonder Years” has landed a pilot production commitment at ABC.

The new half-hour comedy series would focus on how a black middle class family in Montgomery, Alabama in the turbulent late 1960’s made sure it was The Wonder Years for them too. That puts the new show in the same time period as the original series, which was set between 1968 and 1973. A mini writer’s room for the show will be opened once ABC approves a pilot script.

Saladin K. Patterson will write and executive produce. Lee Daniels and Marc Velez will executive produce via Lee Daniels Entertainment. Fred Savage, the star of the original series, will direct the pilot and executive produce. Neal Marlens, the co-creator of the original series, will serve as consultant. 20th Century Fox Television will produce, with both Patterson and Daniels currently under overall deals at the studio.

The wait for the next “Halloween” movie is extending by a year as Universal Pictures has announced David Gordon Green’s “Halloween Kills” will now open in theaters October 15, 2021. The new release is a full year later than its original October 6, 2020 release date. The release date for the third film in the rebooted trilogy, “Halloween Ends,” has been pushed to October 14, 2022. Blumhouse has also moved “Candyman” from September 25 to October 16 and “The Forever Purge” to July 9, 2021.

“Halloween Kills” is the sequel to Green’s 2018 “Halloween,” which opened to $76.2 million (the highest opening in the horror franchise’s history) and ended its run with $159 million in the U.S. and $255 million globally. Green directed his “Halloween” reboot on a $10 million budget, making the film hugely profitable for Universal. Most importantly, the film got critics and fans back on the franchise’s good side after a series of poorly received sequels. “Halloween Kills” re-teams Green with Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, and Andi Matichak.

A new Fly movie is once again in active development and is also set to follow the recent trend of late sequels acting as direct continuations of the first film and ignoring everything else in between.

Jeff Goldblum is being eyed for the project, too, despite having his head blown off at the end of the first movie, and while it’s unclear how exactly they’d bring him back, the actor has never ruled out a return if he connected with the story. We’ve also heard that the latest version of The Fly is set to have a female lead this time around, and though the details we’ve been given end there, the gender-bent spin could certainly provide an entirely fresh and even topical take on the material.

With an extended cut of “Rambo : Last Blood” hitting streaming platforms this month, Sylvester Stallone has assured Rocky fans they won’t be left out.

The veteran actor and filmmaker promises a director’s cut of “Rocky IV” is just around the corner.

In the comments section of Instagram, where Sly posted the “Rambo” announcement, the Oscar winner said that an “amazing” director’s cut of the 1985 film is on the way. There isn’t, however, any plans for a director’s cut of “Rocky Balboa”

Stallone also tells his readers that “Rambo : Last Blood” mightn’t be the final go-round for the Vietnam Vet, suggesting a sixth instalment in the series might be in the works.

Sly’s big on giving audiences more of what they want, with plans recently revealed for a “Demolition Man” sequel and a fourth “Expendables” still in development.

On the surface, Hunter Conrad (Haley Bennett, The Girl on The Train) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, Hunter seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell, Whiplash). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica – a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects.
