We have recently reported that the One-Punch Man manga will be getting a live-action movie treatment. This is not a particularly new piece of information, as it has been known that a live-action adaptation is in the works for a while now, but we have gotten some crew updates recently, which confirmed that Rick and Morty writer Dan Harmon and his collaborator Heather Anne Campbell have joined the crew of the upcoming movie as writers, but as it turns out, there is a bigger story there.
Namely, as it turned out, Harmon and Campbell were not hired to simply write the movie; they were, in fact, hired to re-write an already-existing screenplay with which Sony is not satisfied. This doesn’t change much in the long run, but it is a vital piece of information that helps us understand how the pre-production phase is evolving.

When Fast & Furious director Justin Lin was revealed to be at the helm of the live-action One-Punch Man film back in June 2022, the script was in the hands of Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner of Venom and Jumanji: The Next Level . Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter , Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon is teaming up with writer Heather Anne Campbell on a rewrite of the script. The news closed out the end of the latest update on Justin Lin's directorial work. The next project he's hopped on is crime thriller Stakehorse , based on a script by Justin Piasecki that found itself near the top of the 2023 Black List. In addition to that and One-Punch Man , Lin has the thriller Two for the Money —starring Charlize Theron and Daniel Craig—in the works at Apple.

One-Punch Man is an online manga written and drawn by One. It has been published on the author’s personal website since June 3, 2009. A manga adaptation drawn by Yūsuke Murata has been published in Shūeisha’s Tonari no Young Jump web magazine since June 14, 2012, and 30 volumes have been released as of the time of writing. An anime series adaptation produced by Madhouse has been airing since October 2015. If you add all of this up, you will understand, quite easily, that One-Punch Man is one of the most popular animanga titles in the world and why the quirky series has so many fans.
Building on this, you’ve probably heard that there are plans for a live-action adaptation of the manga, which isn’t all that surprising seeing how there is a live-adaptation craze currently in the West, mostly helped by Netflix’s more or less successful live-action adaptations, such as One Piece and Avatar.

While anime fans still look forward to the third season of One Punch Man, the beloved manga series may now have a future in theaters. Sony’s Columbia Pictures announced a live-action film way back in 2020 and the progress has been really slow on the project. Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner were initially signed on as writers, but the latest reports suggest that Rick and Morty writers Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell are rewriting the script.

In a much anticipated update for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of One Punch Man, it has been revealed that Sony Pictures has enlisted the talents of Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon, alongside Heather Anne Campbell, to pen the script.

Justin Lin has come aboard to direct Stakehorse, a crime thriller set up at Amazon MGM Studios.
Lin and his Perfect Storm Entertainment banner will also produce the feature, joining Todd Lieberman and Alex Young of Hidden Pictures on the project.
Justin Piasecki wrote the script, much of which is being kept in the stable. It is known that it centers on a horse veterinarian who has a side hustle doing medical work for criminals who may need work off the books.
Sources say the project is tonally similar to The Town, the crime thriller directed by Ben Affleck. The script landed near the top of the 2023 Black List.

Historically, “Rick and Morty” has ended its seasons with a “big shoot ’em up” episode, aka a high-action, high-octane and highly canonical episode that often influences the course of series for seasons to come. That’s not the approach Season 7’s conclusion takes.
Written by Heather Anne Campbell and directed by Eugene Huang, “Fear No Mort” is one of the most intimate and introspective episodes this series has ever aired. Rick (Ian Cardoni) and Morty (Harry Belden) learn of a “fear hole” located inside of a Denny’s bathroom, a portal that forces those who enter to face their absolute worst fears. Desperate to feel something close to terror again, Morty jumps through the hole, setting off an adventure in which Rick is reunited with his lost love Dianne (Kari Wahlgren) and Morty has to confront what he truly means to his grandfather.

This article contains spoilers for Rick and Morty season 7 episode 10.
Rick and Morty season 7 had a lot to be afraid of.
Adult Swim‘s animated hit went into the year without the original voices of its titular characters following co-creator Justin Roiland’s dismissal of the show. This meant that the show’s writing staff, led by co-creator Dan Harmon and showrunner Scott Marder, had to work in two new major voice actors (Ian Cardoni as Rick and Harry Belden as Morty) while also fighting against the inevitable fan perception of creative inertia that all animated series face nearly a decade in.
Perhaps it’s no surprise then that the theme of season 7’s 10th and final episode all comes down to fear. Fittingly titled “Fear No Mort,” the season finale finds Rick and Morty meeting a mysterious thrill-seeker (voiced by Liev Schreiber) and being brought to a Denny’s...

Sports and music representation powerhouse Wasserman has finalized its acquisition of Brillstein Entertainment Partners, the venerable Hollywood management and production company. Terms were not disclosed. Deadline exclusively revealed the acquisition talks back in February.
Wasserman chairman and CEO Casey Wasserman and Brillstein co-CEOs Cynthia Pett and Jon Liebman made the announcement. It puts Wasserman, grandson of the iconic Hollywood representative and studio chief Lew Wasserman, directly into the film and TV representation and production game for the first time. It is the second strategic alignment for Wasserman, who took over the lucrative music touring business that was once the most profitable part of the Paradigm agency, at a time when the pandemic grounded live touring revenues.
It would be the latest move in management after 3Arts made a deal with Lionsgate, and Range Media Partners linked with Automatik.
Wasserman, Pett and Liebman believe their cultures will mesh in their compatible business and staffs.

Hollywood is rallying behind Bruce Willis after the actor’s family announced on Wednesday that he will be stepping away from acting after being diagnosed with the cognitive brain disorder aphasia.
“To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,” the announcement read. “As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
The announcement sparked an immediate outpouring of support for Willis, who broke out on the ABC series “Moonlighting” before transitioning into film with the iconic action film “Die Hard.” From there, Willis became one of biggest movie stars in the world with films including “Pulp Fiction,” “The Sixth Sense” and “12 Monkeys.”

On Tuesday the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced that it would cut eight categories from the live portion of this year’s Oscars broadcast, apparently in an attempt to shorten the broadcast length.
While it remains to be seen how rank and file normies will react once the show airs, the overwhelming response from within the industry and from invested fans was fairly intense outrage over what many critics said was an insult to the people in the affected categories.
“Wow f— this,” actor Dylan O’Brien tweeted, just for one example.
The affected categories, just for reference, are: Documentary (Short Subject), Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Production Design, Short Film (Animated), Short Film (Live Action), and Sound. They’ll be presented in a more sparsely attended ceremony just before the broadcast, with shortened, edited footage edited into the live broadcast in some way.

The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 5
Remember the opening of Ghostbusters? After that poor librarian got her socks knocked-off by the library ghost, we meet Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), and he’s testing two people for psychic powers. Venkman was using something called Zener cards, known mostly for their use in testing psychic abilities. In the opening of Ghostbusters, the Zener cards are a punchline: Venkman is faking the results to make the “wavy line” guy look bad and to flirt with a woman. But what if the Zener cards weren’t a joke? What if the opening of Ghostbusters suggested a totally different type of story: A young woman pretends not to know the answer to every Zener card, even though she totally does.

Fox has put in development a multi-camera workplace comedy from writer, comedian and actress Heather Anne Campbell and Fox Entertainment-owned SideCar Content Accelerator.
Written by Campbell, the Untitled Heather Anne Campbell Comedy centers on online shopping company Endless that has taken over nearly every aspect of life. Warehouse 14 is Endless’ West Coast distribution center, and it’s so big it has three zip codes. The people who work in the warehouse are each on different trajectories – some are climbing the ladder of success while others are sliding toward obsolescence. It’s a big warehouse in a brave new world. A world designed by Endless, filled with the stories of Warehouse 14.
Campbell executive produces with SideCar’s Gail Berman. The project is a co-production of SideCar and Fox Entertainment. It is one of almost dozen projects SideCar has in development at Fox.

The Twilight Zone Episode 8
Some scholars and fans of science fiction will tell you that the purpose of the genre isn’t to answer the fascinating question it poses, but instead, to simply ask those questions in ways that make you think.
In this sense, the latest episode of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone reboot — “Point of Origin” — is exactly like The Twilight Zone of old; it dips us into an interesting premise, but ends before we can figure out exactly how to feel about it. Most forward-thinking people probably have a sympathetic view of “illegal” immigration, but what this episode does is try to push the controversies around immigration into another dimension — literally.

The writer of “Not All Men” and co-writer of “Six Degrees of Freedom” explains the most chilling new trips to The Twilight Zone.
This week, the latest episode of Jordan Peele’s newly rebooted Twilight Zone tackles aspects of the #MeToo era with the chilling episode “Not All Men.” When a meteor shower seemingly causes all the men in small town to turn into murderous rioting monsters, the episode explores just exactly where the problem comes from originally, and more importantly, how women can fight back.
The episode also borrows a few beats from one of the best episode of the original series; “The Monsters are Due On Maple Street.” But, the writer of the episode — Heather Anne Campbell (who also co-wrote “Six Degrees of Freedom” — tells Den of Geek that this episode wasn’t about fan service.

The Twilight Zone Episode 7
Watching the newest episode of The Twilight Zone— “Not All Men” — it will be impossible for a viewer not to associate the subject matter with the #MeToo movement. The evil that men do, and the evil that lurk in their hearts is something that isn’t just a science fiction premise; it’s a fairly obvious mirror for the real-world, too. That said, there’s something in this outing to the Zone that feels like it needed a smile from Captain Jack from Torchwood or even a touch of Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek.
After mysterious red asteroids shower a small town, a woman named Annie (Taissa Farmiga) starts noticing certain people behaving oddly. For fans of old-school sci-fi,...

Even if the latest Twilight Zone episode isn't a direct homage to Ray Bradbury, his influence can be felt.
The following contains spoilers for The Twilight Zone, "Six Degrees of Freedom."
If the latest episode of the newly rebooted Twilight Zone — “Six Degrees of Freedom” — feels old school to you, you’re not crazy. For bookish types, the most obvious Easter egg in the episode comes pretty early; the Mars-bound spaceship central to the story is called “Bradbury Heavy,” a kind tribute to Elon Musk putting the word “heavy” after the names of rockets, but also, of course, the iconic author of The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury. And, even if the screenwriters of this Twilight Zone episode (Glen Morgan and Heather Anne Campbell) weren’t intentionally homaging Ray Bradbury’s writing, his ghost haunts this creepy episode in surprising ways.

The signpost ahead reads “The Twilight Zone,” ushering viewers to a realm that at once feels familiar and yet is almost entirely new. Executive producers Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg have reimagined Rod Serling’s classic horror/science-fiction/fantasy series from the ‘60s for a whole new generation.
At an event in Hollywood this year, Kinberg revealed why it was the perfect time to bring back the show. “I think the world all of a sudden was in desperate need of ‘The Twilight Zone,’” he said. ‘If you said three, four years ago that like a reality star who had no political experience will be the leader of the free world with access to the nuclear button, you think that’s a crazy ‘Twilight Zone’ episode.”
Kinberg also said that the vision Peele and CBS All Access had meshed with how to tell stories while pushing it to the limits.

Jake Weisman, the co-star and co-creator of the new Comedy Central series “Corporate,” raises an interesting point, one that also happens to explain why the 10th and final episode of “Corporate” Season 1 is an episode-length riff on 9/11, delivered with the usual rhythms of an inspirational Christmas story.
Along with co-creators Pat Bishop and Matt Ingebretson, the team behind “Corporate” has used its opening season to cover everything from Hr complaints to surface-level small talk about bingeing TV shows on smartwatches. Weisman and Bishop spoke with IndieWire about the path to “Remember Day,” a final episode that’s unlikely and a completely logical endpoint all at once.

Joe Bronczyk, the father of 22-year-old Heather Campbell, told local TV station Wjw he is suffering through the single hardest time in his life.

“The nightmare starts over,” he said. “This is the second day … it starts all over in the morning again.

With Fxx's Man Seeking Woman returning for its second season last Wednesday, we asked the show's mastermind Simon Rich to look back on his years as a Saturday Night Live writer and pick the most obscure sketches he penned. He obligingly chose nine, with one caveat: "All of my SNL sketches were obscure, so I went for my favorites." With constant praise for the cast, the hosts, and his co-writers John Mulaney, Marika Sawyer, Mike O'Brien, Colin Jost, and Heather Anne Campbell, and a ton of self-deprecation reserved for himself, Rich took us through the thought process of creating one-joke premises, making dog death funny, adding in ass humor, and much more.

But the heart of the show is still what it always was — sharp, fast-paced short-form improv performed by a team of veterans who know each others’ rhythms inside and out. The only real difference is that Colin Mochrie’s few remaining hairs have changed from blondish-brown to snowy white.

If you're anything like us, you've been a fan of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" since the British episodes started airing on Comedy Central in the early 1990s. And you are also extremely happy to have these funny folks back on your TV.
The premiere episode featured a couple new improvers, Gary Anthony Williams and Heather Anne Campbell, plus some special guests -- "Walking Dead's" Lauren Cohan and "Glee's" Kevin McHale.
Favorite games were played -- Scenes From a Hat, Let's Make a Date, Living Scenery -- plus there were new games, like What's In the Bag and Sideways Scene. The Sideways Scene was particularly a lot of fun, as the improves laid on their sides and performed on a red set, which was then shown right-way up on TV. Trust us, it's a lot cooler than it sounds here.

While accepting the Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy Film on Thursday night, Bridesmaids producer Judd Apatow skewered legendary funnyman Jerry Lewis, giving him the big old 'F*ck you!"
At the end of his acceptance speech, Apatow remarked, "Jerry Lewis once said that he didn't think women were funny, so I'd just like to say, with all respect, 'F*ck you!'"
While I’m not sure if bashing an 85-year-old onstage at the Critics’ Choice Awards is the most appropriate venue for such remarks -- I can’t say I disagree with the sentiment. In fact, I wholeheartedly agree with it.
Here’s some backstory on Lewis’ sexist statement: During a Q&A session at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen in 1998, the original Nutty Professor told the audience, "I don't like any women comedians" and "A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me but sets me back a bit.
At the end of his acceptance speech, Apatow remarked, "Jerry Lewis once said that he didn't think women were funny, so I'd just like to say, with all respect, 'F*ck you!'"

Atrocious title aside, this improvised comedy gameshow is a worthier successor to Whose Line Is It Anyway‘s crown than BBC2′s recent Fast & Loose, primarily because it’s the same basic show with only minor differences. A svelte Drew Carey (host of Whose Line‘s Us remake) ostensibly takes charge, supported by a bunch of all-star improvisers: Whose Lineveterans Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops, Chip Esten, Jeff Davis and Brad Sherwood, teamed with Jonathan Magnum and Sean Masterson from Drew Carey’s Green Screen (a short-lived post-Whose Line improv show), and joined by Kathy Kinney and MADtv’s Heather Anne Campbell.
