Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”
Attention, Marvel and DC! Julia Roberts would love to be in a superhero movie.
When I suggested the idea to the Oscar winner at the “Ticket to Paradise” premiere in L.A., she beamed, “Wouldn’t it be awesome?”
Her co-star George Clooney added, “We should do one — you and me!”
However, Roberts isn’t looking to don a cape for her comic book movie debut. “Maybe an apron,” she said. “Is there a superhero apron?”
Meanwhile, Clooney, who infamously played the Caped Crusader in 1997’s “Batman & Robin,” revealed that his 5-year-old son Alexander’s favorite superhero is … Batman. “I said, ‘You know I was Batman?’” Clooney smiled. “And he was like, ‘Not anymore.’”
“Ticket to Paradise” marks Roberts and Clooney’s first rom-com together. “I read it and thought, ‘This only works with George,’ and he felt the same way,...

Jordan Peele's "Nope" is almost here. Written and directed by the filmmaker, the movie was first announced in 2020, and the cast includes Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Barbie Ferreira, and Brandon Perea. Peele previously worked with Kaluuya for his directorial debut, "Get Out," making this a full-circle moment for the duo.
In the new trailer released on June 9, eager fans finally got a look at some plot details. Kaluuya and Palmer play siblings whose father dies while out on a horse on their family ranch, where they train horses for Hollywood movies. They believe his death is connected to a strange cloud in the sky, and they decide to try to capture and sell the first real footage of UFOs - but it seems that things quickly get out of hand.
Peele and his cast have been tight-lipped about the movie. When Popsugar asked...

Just like Jabari Banks’ character isn’t exactly like Will of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the friends and family around him are also different in the dramatic reimagining for Peacock. “We want to relate to this generation, and this generation goes through some crazy stuff,” Coco Jones (who plays influencer Hilary Banks) pointed out when TV Insider sat down with the Bel-Air cast. Akira Akbar (Ashley Banks) agrees: “We just want to tell these stories in a new modern way.” Kwaku Alston/Peacock Bel-Air‘s versions of Vivian (Cassandra Freeman) and Phillip (Adrian Holmes) Banks are very different. “He’s a successful attorney who built himself a grand career, and she used to be a successful artist, and she put that all on the back-burner, 15 years, to help his career, raise the kids,” Freeman says. While “they’re a united team,” according to Holmes, however, they may not have...

The streaming giant dropped a new spot during the award show featuring 47 black Netflix talent and behind-the-scenes creative who are responsible for more than 20 original shows, movies and documentaries. The spot, which is a reimagining of the famous 1958 photo "A Great Day in Harlem" that featured 57 notable jazz musicians assembled together, was directed by Lacey Duke, and the final photo, above, was shot by Kwaku Alston.

Netflix unveiled a brand image spot during Sunday’s Bet Awards telecast that highlights black artists who work for the streaming giant.
The spot dubbed “A Great Day in Hollywood” was inspired by the famed 1958 photograph “A Great Day in Harlem” featuring 57 jazz legends — including Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, and Count Basie — on the stairs of New York brownstone snapped by photographer Art Kane.
The Netflix spot from director Lacey Duke features 47 black writers, showrunners, actors, and producers. The plan for the spot and the image campaign stemmed from Netflix’s Strong Black Lead initiative designed to foster an “ongoing, intentional focus to talk authentically with the black audience.” A photo similar to “Great Day in Harlem” was taken earlier this month by photographer Kwaku Alston to commemorate the gathering.
The debut comes just two days after Netflix was rocked by the abrupt departure of corporate communications chief Jonathan Friedland...

During the Bet Awards tonight, Netflix debuted a new brand spot featuring 47 black Netflix creators and talent representing the streaming company’s Strong Black Lead initiative.
The ad was conceived and created months ago and had already been scheduled to air during the Bet Awards when on Friday Netflix’s long-time communications chief Jonathan Friedland was ousted for using the N-word on two separate occasions.
In light of the controversy, I hear Netflix brass considered not proceeding with the spot this weekend but ultimately opted against it.
The spot, inspired by the legendary 1958 photo A Great Day in Harlem, which featured prominent jazz musicians of the time, was directed Lacey Duke, with Kwaku Alston taking a photo.
“It was a pretty magical couple of hours,” Duke said. “All these amazingly talented, beautiful individuals in one space being supportive and just looking stunning together, all here to pull off this one take wonder!

During the Bet Awards, Netflix premiered a TV spot called “A Great Day in Hollywood” promoting its Black creator-driven projects such as “Luke Cage” and “Dear White People,” as well as stars and show creators that have worked on original shows for the streaming service.
While the spot was conceived and created months ago by Netflix’s Strong Black Lead Team, the premiere comes with some weird timing, as the company fired its chief communications officer Jonathan Friedland on Friday for “descriptive use of the N-word on at least two occasions,” according to an employee memo sent out by CEO Reed Hastings. An individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap that the incident had occurred on multiple occasions and that several Netflix employees filed complaints.
The spot was inspired by a famous photo taken 60 years ago called “A Great Day in Harlem,” which assembled dozens of the Harlem jazz scene’s most famous musicians.
