So, check out the seven best films that are coming to Peacock in January 2025 with a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

Alien (January 1) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93% Credit – 20th Century Fox

Alien is a sci-fi horror thriller film directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay by Dan O’Bannon. The 1979 film follows the crew of a spacecraft that intercepts a distress signal from a planet. They soon set out to investigate, but they are attacked by an alien entity that invades their ship.

Full of snappy dialogue, stylish scenery, and captivating stories, "Suits" more than passes the bar when it comes to contemporary, mass appeal, prestige television. After enjoying an impressive but relatively muted nine-season run from 2011 to 2019, the USA series suddenly became one of the most popular TV shows in the 2020s thanks to a bump from Netflix. The renewed interest in it has apparently been so overwhelming that NBC ordered a spin-off from series creator Aaron Korsh.

Korsh's new series -- titled "Suits L.A." -- will feature a new law firm and a brand new cast of characters, led by "Arrow" star Stephen Amell. While fans of the mothership series may not be surprised by this choice, the absence of these beloved actors will surely be felt, especially since it's hard to find many of them in other shows, unless you know where to look.

Fortunately, we here at /Film have...

The comedy genre has been under attack for quite some time now as the studios have stopped making mid-budget comedy movies and refocused all their attention on big-budget blockbusters. Amidst all this, a niche sub-genre in comedy, like raunchy comedy films, has been forgotten. If it’s not a classic like American Pie or Road Trip, people don’t even remember most of the fantastic raunchy comedies that came out. So, we compiled a list of the best underrated raunchy comedies you might have missed out on.

Despite their success in Hollywood, these celebrities faced setbacks and got fired from their TV or movie roles.MEGAAnne Hathaway – 'Knocked Up'mega

Knocked Up initially paired Seth Rogen with Anne Hathaway before the latter was replaced by Katherine Heigl due to her misgivings about the hit film.

According to reports, Hathaway was fired at the last minute after refusing to film a scene that depicted a woman giving birth. Other news outlets said she was the one who decided to depart from the project.

"I turned down [Knocked Up] because it was going to show a v----- – not mine, but somebody else’s – and I didn’t believe that it was necessary to the story," the Les Misérables star, 42, said.

Charlie Sheen – 'Two and a Half Men'mega

Charlie Sheen was infamously removed from the Two and a Half Men cast after he dropped a profanity-laced tirade against the show's co-creator Chuck Lorre.

Break out the Post-It Notes because Romy and Michele may be headed towards another reunion. While a sequel to Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion may not have been officially greenlit, star Mira Sorvino (that’s Romy) has hopes that it’s the closest it’s ever been to being ready to go.

Speaking with People, Sorvio said that the Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion sequel isn’t entirely ready but just needs a few more tweaks before cameras are ready to roll. “They’ve done his deal, they’ve done Lisa [Kudrow] and my deals as executive producers. [Original screenwriter Robin Schiff] has written multiple drafts of an amazing funny script, which checks all the boxes for all the fans.” As for a time frame, Sorvino noted, “And they’re just going back and forth, tweaking things here and there, and [there are] rumors of shooting it second quarter next year…...

Regular collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have created Apple TV+ comedy series The Studio. Here’s the trailer.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg burst onto the Hollywood scene in 2007 when they co-wrote smash hit comedy Superbad. It was a big year for Rogen, who also starred opposite Katherine Heigl in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up. Since then, they have written stoner comedy Pineapple Express and made the leap to big budget superhero films with The Green Hornet. They made their directorial debut in 2013 with This Is The End, following it up with 2014’s The Interview.

The pair have now created ten part Apple TV+ comedy The Studio.

The cast also includes Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, Bryan Cranston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Dewayne Perkins.

Ellen Pompeo played Meredith Grey for 19 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy before she stepped away from series regular. Pompeo had been the face, or rather, the voice of the show since its pilot episode in 2005. However, in her two decades of working on the show, Pompeo had some issues when it came to some of her character arcs.

Pompeo found Grey’s relationship arcs to be the most problematic, with her listing out issues right from Season 2 to Season 19. Pompeo’s one iconic line in the series comes from Season 2, but the actress absolutely hated filming the scene as she didn’t want to say the line where she had to beg a man.

Drea de Matteo is most famous for playing Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos, where she was the troubled girlfriend of mobster Christopher Moltisanti, a role that won her an Emmy. She also played Wendy Case, the strong-willed ex-wife of Jax Teller, in the hit show Sons of Anarchy.

Recently, she revealed in an interview that she was offered a role in a Marvel project but decided to turn it down to focus on her family, especially because her son would get upset whenever she had to leave for long filming trips.

The actress shared that she no longer felt attracted to the Hollywood lifestyle or its focus on material things, so she decided to stay closer to home and embrace a simpler way of living.

I was offered some Marvel thing, and I turned that down because my son was crying every time I’d go to Canada to just guest star on something.

Drea de Matteo is best known for her role as Adriana La Cerva on ‘The Sopranos,’ where she portrayed the tragic, conflicted girlfriend of mobster Christopher Moltisanti—a performance that earned her an Emmy. She also starred as Wendy Case, the rebellious ex-wife of Jax Teller, in the popular series ‘Sons of Anarchy’, but as it turns out the actress was offered a Marvel role as well, which she declined for a good reason.

In her recent interview with ComicBookMovie de Matteo explained that she turned down the Marvel role beacuse she wanted to prioritize her family, especially her son who would get upset whenever she had to leave for long shoots.

Plot: The ultimate account of the Child’s Play film franchise and Chucky, a horror villain for the ages. With contributions from cast, crew, critics, historians, and experts, as well as clips, photographs, archival documents, behind-the-scenes footage, and more, experience the making-of story that proves you can’t keep a good guy down in a series of films that have created an icon.

Review: There are no better horror franchise documentaries than Crystal Lake Memories and Never Sleep Again. The in-depth looks at the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th franchises are the definitive looks at their respective franchises. They provide unique interviews and insight into the horror productions we thought we knew everything about. Yet they manage to find new information! So I, like many fans, was ecstatic to see them put Chucky in their crosshairs. Given the series’ very unique history and 36-year run, there is so much information to parse from.

Katherine Heigl was on the rise of popularity when she stepped into the role of Dr. Izzie Stevens in Grey’s Anatomy. This show then further pushed her to international stardom, and she became a household name, all thanks to her brilliant portrayal. But in the midst of all the success, she made headlines but for all the wrong reasons when she criticized the writers of the popular medical drama.

This criticism also did not go well with the showrunner of the show Shonda Rhimes. And in an Oprah interview she made sure to slam the actress in her own way.

The latest quarterly report released Wednesday from FilmLA, Los Angeles’ film permitting office, confirmed the pain production crews have been in this year and signaled that it’s only gotten worse.

Shooting days slipped 5 percent over a three-month period from July to September to 5,048, marking the weakest quarter of 2024, and every category of scripted production lags behind five-year averages on both a per-quarter and year-to-date basis. A bright spot came in the feature film production column, which rose by more than 25 percent last quarter to 476 shooting days. FilmLA stressed that an expansion to California’s film and TV tax credit program is needed to curb the downward trajectory and keep productions in the state. It has been both a rallying cry and source of confusion in the industry for years.

One director who has made more than half of his narrative features in the state, Judd Apatow, recently spoke with...

Very few shows can hold a candle to the sheer volume of jaw-dropping Grey’s Anatomy exits.

Sometimes, those goodbyes have been predictable.

While her death was sad, no one expected Ellis Grey to have a particularly long arc on Grey’s Anatomy.

She was introduced as an Alzheimer’s patient in an assisted living facility, so from day one, her impending death was anticipated by fans.

When Addison reflected on her life and decided to start over in L.A., it didn’t really take anyone by surprise.

This article contains spoilers for "It's What's Inside."

As fantastical as the concept seems, the first body swap movie dates all the way back to 1916 with the British fantasy flick "Vice Versa," where a young schoolboy magically swaps bodies with his overbearing father. It's based on the even older 1882 novel of the same name and would mark the start of one of the most evergreen cinematic tropes that exists beyond the confines of genre. Body swap movies are most prominent in family-friendly comedy flicks like the "Freaky Friday" franchise or the criminally underrated "Wish Upon a Star" with Danielle Harris and a young Katherine Heigl, or even action films like John Woo's "Face/Off." Science-fiction films usually explore body swapping as some sort of technological advancement, comic books boast plenty of body swap stories (so it's only a matter of time before we see one in live-action), and even horror...

TV’s production cycle just ain’t what it used to be, and creator Jason Katims is feeling nostalgic.

You can’t blame him: When Katims spoke with Variety recently, the topic was the 25th anniversary of his teen drama “Roswell,” which had been intended for Fox but ended up on The CW predecessor The WB.

Katims waxed poetic about the days when May’s TV upfronts actually mattered.

“Back in those days, it was this mad scramble where things could change drastically in a matter of hours,” Katims said. “At the time, I thought this was such an absurd system. Now I long for it, because you knew right then whether your show was going to go ahead, and you had to immediately get into production to get it on the air and put something in those time slots.”

Oh man, remember time slots?

Meg Marinis got hired on Grey’s Anatomy as her first job out of college.

Already a hit for ABC, the medical drama starring Ellen Pompeo as a wide-eyed surgical intern at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital was in its second season, right in the middle of the Denny Duquette storyline, Marinis recalls (a now-iconic show arc between Katherine Heigl and Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Marinis, who had already been tuning into the drama weekly on Thursday nights, interviewed to be the second assistant to creator Shonda Rhimes. She didn’t get that job. But they were creating a new position, a writer’s Pa, and she got that one instead. “I freaked out because I really liked the show, but I didn’t have any idea what it would become,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “A decade ago, I didn’t think I would still be here!”

Not only is Marinis still at Grey’s Anatomy,...

The Star Wars franchise has always had an interplay between good and evil, and some of the most interesting stories have explored where heroes interact with a side that is not their natural state. I remember being both disappointed in and intrigued by Princess Leia attempting to assassinate Darth Vader in Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Dark Empire settled Luke into the role of Palpatine's apprentice, following in his father's footsteps years after Anakin Skywalker died as a Jedi.

Now, a recent comic played on those pulls between dark and light as the heroes of the Rebellion had to make a die choice about the ethics of fighting their enemy.

"Evil is everywhere."

Inverse has recently discussed the final comic issue of Charles Soule's Star Wars run. In the issue concluded the run that began in 2020, the story paints the rebels as more scummy than we previously thought,...

No matter how much a slow-burn romance makes us want to rip our hair out in anticipation, we cannot deny that we are total suckers for it.

Depictions of cancer on television have not always been the most accurate portrayals in the past.

Luckily, the tides have turned due to writers using experts as reference points to ensure characters diagnosed with cancer have genuine storylines with correct medical details in the fictional cancer narrative.

Not only is it dangerous to spread false narratives, but disseminating valuable information and raising awareness is vital.

Not all specialists agree that TV portrayals of cancer are as accurate as they need to be in terms of actually living with it instead of using it as a tragic plot.

However, seeing characters diagnosed with cancer who aren’t solely defined by it can be good.

That was almost nonexistent a couple of decades ago, and we want to share those stories of strength!

Netflix even aired a companion series, The Netflix Book Club, in which some authors discussed how their novels were adapted to the screen.

There is a fine line between staying true to the source material, pleasing the fans, and developing the characters and stories as your own.

Deciding Which Format Works Best

The network or studio will decide which format works best based on whether it adapts one book or a series of books.

Developing a two-hour film worked best if the book had a clear plot with a beginning, middle, and end, such as Red, White, & Royal Blue.

Television is a magical place full of drama, laughs, and sometimes, absolute chaos. But the drama doesn’t always stay on the screen.

Being labeled as ‘difficult to work with’ is similar to a career death sentence in Hollywood. These words are often used to describe women who stand up for themselves and set boundaries in the workplace. While many have acknowledged the sexism behind these words, the effect they have on careers is unfortunately still lasting. Katherine Heigl was one such victim, being labeled as a ‘rude’ actress by a few she has worked with in the past.

While many would stay quiet and never address these allegations, hoping that they would eventually get swept under the rug, that is simply not how Heigl functions. The actress addressed these issues head-on during interviews, challenging the mindset that caused them to exist in the first place.

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill star in this Academy Award-nominated baseball movie. Pitt plays Billy Beane, the general manager for the Oakland A’s. He’s determined to take his team of misfits to the top by challenging the old playbook.

In a candid conversation on Shannen Doherty‘s Let’s Be Clear podcast, acclaimed actress Katherine Heigl opened up about the controversy around her decision not to submit herself for an Emmy nomination in 2008 in her tenure on the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.

Heigl, who had previously won an Emmy for her portrayal of Dr. Izzie Stevens, found herself at the center of a media storm after her comments regarding the lack of material she received that season. However, the actress now seeks to set the record straight and dispel the notion that she had outright “turned down” the nomination.

“I didn’t turn it down,” Heigl clarified. “You have to submit yourself. You have to submit your work, and then they deliberate and then they decide if they want to give you a nomination. I just didn’t submit my work that year.”

Katherine Heigl recalls the controversy surrounding the Emmys after allegedly turning down a nomination for her work on Grey’s Anatomy.

The 27 Dresses star made an appearance on Shannen Doherty’s podcast, Let’s Be Clear, when the topic came up.

“I don’t know any person except for you that turns down an Emmy nomination,” Doherty said, which made Heigl jump in and say, “Well, I didn’t, and everybody keeps saying that. I didn’t turn it down.”

“You know, you have to submit yourself. You have to submit your work, and then they deliberate and then they decide if they want to give you a nomination,” Heigl explained. “I just didn’t submit my work that year.”

News of Heigl not wanting to be considered for the Emmys was controversial as the actress had won in the Best Supporting Actress category the year before. In a statement from 2008, Heigl said,...

Katherine Heigl, known for her role as Dr. Izzie Stevens on the hit medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” has recently addressed the long-standing controversy surrounding her decision not to submit herself for Emmy consideration in 2008. In a candid interview on the podcast “Let’s Be Clear… with Shannen Doherty,” Heigl attempted to set the record straight and reflect on her actions from over a decade ago.

Heigl, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2007, emphasized that she didn’t turn down a nomination but rather chose not to submit her work for consideration. “I just didn’t submit my work that year,” Heigl explained, adding that she felt her material that season didn’t warrant a nomination.

The actress expressed regret over how she handled the situation, acknowledging that her attempt to make a “snarky point” about her material backfired. “I should have said nothing,...

Nearly two decades have passed since Grey’s Anatomy first opened the doors of Seattle Grace Hospital. It all started with the aftermath of a one-night stand: A guy picks up a girl at a bar the evening before her first day of work. And then the guy turns out to be her boss. That initial spark grew into an unforgettable TV romance. But what makes Grey’s Anatomy so special isn’t just that love story. The series was a fresh look at the medical drama, mixing personal complications with high-stakes medical procedures.

Twenty seasons later, cast members have come and gone and the series has reinvented itself time and time again. Shonda Rhimes’ first big television outing has a trove of memorable hours to revisit. Whether it’s your third rewatch or your 13th (or if you were inspired to revisit the show after original cast members Ellen Pompeo, Katherine Heigl,...

Netflix has announced the release date for the Season 9 episodes of Suits. The last season had been missing on the platform in the U.S.

The Netflix site Tudum.com announced that Season 9 will be released on July 1 during a panel at Atx. Seasons 1 through 8 are currently available on Netflix in the U.S. Seasons 1-9 have been available in the rest of the world.

The show gained new popularity when it bowed last summer on Netflix. Season 1 of Suits spent four weeks in Netflix’s weekly top 10 during the summer of 2023

The ninth and final season of Suits centers on an evolved firm, Zane Specter Litt Wheeler Williams, facing uncertainty and change yet again after Robert Zane (Wendell Pierce) took the fall with the Bar Association to save Harvey.

After his sacrifice, Samantha Wheeler (Katherine Heigl) is left reeling from the loss of her mentor, and while trying to console her,...

Grey’s Anatomy has broken many hearts over its 20 seasons (and counting), but it’s also angered fans with how certain characters were written off. Realistically, no one wants to see their favorite character leave a show, but if it’s handled the right way, a good departure allows the legacy of the character to remain untouched.

While there are many factors that go into planning and handling a character’s exit, the final product can be hit or miss. Here are what we consider to be the worst and most unnecessary exits from TV’s longest-running primetime medical drama.

10. April Kepner

While April’s (Sarah Drew) departure in season 14 could be considered a “happy ending” for the character, it was deeply unsatisfying for viewers. She had apparently been dating Matthew (Justin Bruening), who she left at the altar, for months and didn’t tell anyone. That itself is surprising but...

If Hollywood aims to bring older audiences back to theaters by making movies about them, I submit Summer Camp as a case study in what works (Eugene Levy!) and what definitely does not — painfully flat attempts at wackiness being the chief offender. Veering between strained slapstick and thoughtful tête-à-têtes, this boomer-focused reunion comedy strands a game cast of accomplished septuagenarians in a mostly laugh-free zone of zip lines and predictable beats.

Director Castille Landon’s screenplay offers some well-crafted dialogue, but it never adds up to anything resembling momentum. Landon, whose previous features include the Katherine Heigl starrer Fear of Rain and a couple of entries in the After series of romance movies, does get the setting right in a story that brings together three lifelong friends at the sleepaway camp where they first met. The friends are played by Diane Keaton (who also serves as a producer), Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard.

Is “Grey’s Anatomy” on tonight? Yes. ABC’s long-running medical drama airs its 430th episode, titled “Burn It Down,” on Thursday night. It serves as the highly anticipated Season 20 finale. Here is the official synopsis: “Wildfires threaten the Seattle region, leading to a flood of patients and emergency procedures; the doctors juggle overcapacity in the ER, complex surgeries and personal stress; Meredith makes a rash decision that can’t be undone.” Watch the promo video above for Season 20 Episode 10, and read on for everything to know about “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Note that the new season was delayed until mid-season due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes of 2023. Because of the late start, the 20th season will be the shortest since the first season with only 10 episodes total. Behind the scenes, Meg Marinis has taken over as showrunner from Krista Vernoff, who departed after Season 19.

Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl was once a rising star in movies and television in the late 2000s. However, her career saw a declining graph after she went on to publicly bash her movie with director Judd Apatow. In 2007, Heigl starred opposite Seth Rogen in Apatow’s comedy film Knocked Up. She had brutal criticism for the film in a 2008 interview, where she called the film sexist.

The film also starred Marvel star Paul Rudd and Apatow’s real-life spouse Leslie Mann. The director responded to the comments sharing that he expected an apology from the actress. Interestingly, Apatow earned flak from Tom Cruise’s fans for brutally trolling him while hosting DGA 2023.
