This adaptation of the beloved children’s show is being co-developed and produced by A24, Daniel Kaluuya’s 59% Productions, and IP owner Mattel Films.

Over the weekend, Shatner was a guest at Fan Expo Vancouver. During…

Director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the duo behind “Top Gun: Maverick” and the upcoming Brad Pitt racing film “F1,” are teaming up again. The pair is leaving behind airplanes and race cars for more adult pursuits- aliens.
