If you’ve ever been around a runner or went to high school pretty much anywhere, you’ve probably seen the cross country shirts with the message, “Your team’s punishment is our team’s sport.” It’s not untrue that runners are usually not shy to talk about running, whether they’re asking you to make a donation in support of them running a marathon or trying to get you to come on a run with them in a snow storm because the texture is just better that way.
Yet, aside from films like 2007’s “Run Fatboy Run” starring David Schwimmer, there are no comedies that punch up at runners the way “Caddyshack” did for golfers or “Slap Shot” did for hockey players. So, when producers Brian Hunt of Believe Entertainment Group and Marc Lieberman from Above Average teamed up to make an ensemble comedy with a very specific kind of audience,...

Exclusive: Academy Award winner Jim Rash (Bros) has signed on to star alongside Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in Project Artemis — the high-profile Apple Original, to be directed by Greg Berlanti.
Specifics as to the film’s plot have thus far been kept under wraps, though we hear that it will be set against the space race of the 1960s.
While unconfirmed, sources say that Rash will play Lance, a fashionable, chic commercial director. Flamboyant and determined to create art, Lance is known for constantly going over budget on set, being incredibly opinionated and is perpetually un-hirable.
Apple acquired the hot package for upwards of 100M when it hit the market this past spring, as we told you first. Jason Bateman had at that point been set as director, with Johansson’s Avengers co-star Chris Evans tapped for Tatum’s role, though both have since departed — Bateman, due to creative differences,...

Exclusive: Alyssa Milano (Brazen), Virginia Madsen (Sideways), Gina Torres (9-1-1: Lone Star) and Milana Vayntrub (This Is Us) have signed on for roles in the feature-length anthology Give Me an A, which links together 15 short films, in response to the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The film currently in post-production will have been completed within two months from the date of Roe’s overturning — which eliminated the longstanding constitutional right to abortion — in an effort to ensure this is a response and not a delayed reaction. The creators, cast and crew have made a significant effort to expedite the process in order to start a conversation with audiences about the importance of bodily autonomy and address the dysfunction of a democracy that is not protecting the needs of a majority of the population. Support from vendors like Keslow, Panavision and The Ebell of Los Angeles has allowed...

In Comedy Central’s upcoming movie “Out of Office,” Ken Jeong and Leslie Jones star as a dysfunctional couple whose marriage increasingly unravels during work-from-home. And in a sneak peek scene, shared exclusively with TheWrap, the two characters go at it in a hilarious Nsfw rage so all-encompassing that they forget the existence of several coworkers listening in via Zoom.
The minute-long clip opens with Jones’ character chucking a dirty porcelain plate at Jeong’s head: “If one of those shards of glass ends back up in my underwear drawer, I’m gonna take it and cut off your dick.”
While the eyebrow-raising threat elicits gasps and gapes from Kyle’s (Jeong) employees, he doesn’t lose a beat in answering, “That might be difficult, given your newfound allergy to dick.” In response, his wife hits back, “Your dick, Kyle. Your dick.” And the insults keep flying (watch the clip...
