VP and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris is currently fighting a tough battle with Republican Donald Trump in this year’s Presidential election. The campaign this year has been nothing short of cinematic and is inching towards its climax on election day. However, the days preceding were nothing short of controversial.

Both Trump and Harris took to celebrity endorsements, with the latter receiving support from prominent Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and more. However, Trump supporter and tech giant Elon Musk alleged that Hollywood stars were threatened by the Harris campaign to support or face consequences on their careers.

While visiting Paris to present the French premiere of “The Substance” and receive a career tribute at the French Cinematheque, Demi Moore linked Coralie Fargeat’s bold body horror film to the themes undergirding the U.S. electoral nail-biter now occupying everyone’s minds.

“America is built on Puritans, religious fanatics and criminals,” she said from the stage of the French Cinematheque on Tuesday. “[And] you’re kind of seeing [as much] in our election right now.”

Indeed, the Hollywood icon made a distinction between the European sensibility that informed “The Substance” and the pervading mentality that the movie has tried to subvert.

“Sexuality is always taboo,” she continued. “And there’s a lot of fear in America around the body. That’s something I’ve never understood or related to. I’ve certainly stirred the pot in a few of the films I’ve chosen, which is partly because [I’ve never understood that fear] of the body.

Demi Moore is going glam in France!

The 61-year-old actress posed for photos while posing for photos at the premiere of her new movie The Substance on Tuesday (November 5) held at Cinematheque Francaise in Paris, France.

Demi looked chic in a dark navy coat over a black, silver, and pink floral dress as she was joined at the premiere by director Coralie Fargeat and Thierry Fremaux, who is the director of the Institut Lumière, of the Lumière Film Festival, and of the Cannes Film Festival.

In the movie, Demi stars as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid). She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twenty-something Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule?...

Coralie Fargeat, known for her fierce debut in Revenge (2018), returns to the screen with The Substance, a chilling, satirical exploration of body horror and society’s obsession with youth and beauty. Starring Demi Moore, this feminist horror film shines a brutal light on the high price of fame, ageism, and self-worth. After a celebrated premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the film has garnered attention for its intense story and dynamic cast. Here’s a breakdown of the key characters and cast in The Substance.

The Substance Main Cast & Characters: Demi Moore as Elisabeth Sparkle Character Overview: Elisabeth Sparkle, a once-beloved TV aerobics star, grapples with society’s harsh standards as she approaches 50.

The Substance Box Office (Worldwide): Earns More Than Twice Its Budget & Has Achieved A Mean Feat (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Substance, starring Demi Moore, is setting records every day. It has now entered the list of highest-grossing original films of this year. It is on the list with films like Channing Tatum’s Blink Twice, If, Longlegs, and others. It has already achieved another fantastic feat at the North American box office. Made on a meager budget of around $17.5 million, the movie continues to impress us with its achievements. Scroll below to see the list of top 10 highest-grossing original films of 2024.

Tatum’s Blink Twice was Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut. She and Channing have been in a relationship for a few years and are engaged as well. However, according to E News, the couple has called it quits after being together for three years. They got engaged only last year.

Drea de Matteo never was particularly political. Her only partisan statement came via a 2010 music video she directed for Shooter Jenning’s “Summer of Rage” — a not-so-subtle jab at the Bush-Cheney administration’s ever-churning war machine. In 2020, she voted for the first time in her life in the presidential election, casting her ballot for Joe Biden in his bid to replace Donald Trump in the White House. Then, as the Covid pandemic entered its second year, everything came crashing down for “The Sopranos” actress whose Adriana La Cerva provided the sole conscience in a sea of moral degenerates.

“I’m a hippie. I didn’t want to get the vaccine. I wanted to wait it out to see what the outcome was,” she says.

Her family shunned her for being anti-vax. She became persona non grata among the Hollywood set. And her agent, who she considered a friend, dropped her.

In the late ’90s and early 2000s, Meg Ryan was America’s sweetheart. The actress was celebrated for her girl-next-door charm and romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail. However, there was one film that ended up putting a full stop on her amazing career.

After Ryan’s involvement in the 2003 erotic thriller, In the Cut, the way the world perceived her changed. She co-starred alongside, the Marvel star, Mark Ruffalo. However, the film inadvertently placed her in a media whirlwind over her off-screen affair with the Australian star, Russell Crowe, marking what was the decline of her Hollywood stardom.

Less than a week remains for the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections to commence. Campaigning has been going on with full force as candidates try their best to convince the citizens why they would be the better choice for leading the land of the free and the home of the brave. While there are a number of contenders in the run, Kamala Harris or Donald Trump seem to be the top choice for a majority of the voters.

As we inch closer and closer to November 5th, Hollywood celebrities are taking some time out of their glamorous lives to talk about their preferred candidates. While Donald Trump has the support of some, it is Kamala Harris who takes the win for most celeb support. However, podcaster Joe Rogan wholeheartedly believes that people shouldn’t pay...

We were sad to hear that veteran character actor Louis Gossett Jr, who got his acting start in Broadway productions back in 1950s (including Take a Giant Step and a 1959 production of A Raisin in the Sun where he shared the stage with Sidney Poitier), had passed away at 87. While we have to get used to the fact that our favorite actors are all human, and like all of us, eventually pass away, it can’t help but hurt anytime we lose a legend like this. But he leaves behind a rich legacy, so let’s look back at five of his coolest roles.

With the competition looking razor-thin, speculation about the potential winner is heating up. Who will ultimately come out on top?

How Many Celebrities Are Rallying Behind Kamala Harris?

The outpouring of support for Kamala Harris from Hollywood A-listers is nothing short of remarkable. From Beyoncé to former President Obama and his entire family, a variety of who’s who of the entertainment industry is rallying behind the woman in the power suit.

With a week and a half until Election Day, Zachary Levi is having it out with Whoopi Goldberg.

After Goldberg said on The View that Levi’s recent statement calling Hollywood a liberal town is “not necessarily true,” the Harold and the Purple Crayon actor responded in a lengthy Instagram Live rant, which also earned him backlash for implying Gavin Creel died from the Covid vaccine.

“To Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin and all the folks at The View… I don’t think it’s accurate to say that somehow Hollywood is both a liberal and a conservative town,” he said in the video. “To Whoopi’s point, back in the day, there might have been a bit more of a balance. And there have always been more, let’s say conservative leaning stars, that have been able to say those things. But you really have to be at a certain...

Zachary Levi, the star of the two Shazam films in the Dceu, is making headlines lately, but not because of his acting career. In recent weeks, he has openly supported presidential candidate Donald Trump.

This has led to a lot of negative reactions from his fans and fans of his movies.

Zachary Levi recently took to Instagram to reply to Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that Hollywood has “always been a very right-leaning town.” This discussion started after Levi publicly supported Donald Trump for president on The View. He said that backing Trump could hurt his career because Hollywood is mostly liberal.

Goldberg disagreed, calling his statement “more B.S.” She explained that Hollywood has a mix of beliefs and sometimes has more Democrats or Republicans, but very few people openly say they are Republican. She also mentioned that some Republican actors, like Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid, still have successful careers.

Zachary Levi star of two ‘Shazam’ films set in Dceu is recently filling headlines, but not because of his thriving career as an actor. In the last several weeks the actor has been very vocal regarding his endorsement of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

This has caused significant backlash when it comes to his fans, and the fans of his movies overall.

Zachary Levi recently took to Instagram to refute Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that Hollywood has “always been a very right-leaning town.” Goldberg tried to teach the “Shazam” actor a lesson during an episode of “The View” earlier this month after he publicly endorses Donald Trump for president. Levi said he was risking career suicide by supporting Trump because “Hollywood is a very, very liberal town.”

Goldberg rejected the claim as “more B.S.” and told Levi that “we’re a mixed bunch” in Hollywood and “sometimes it seems like there’s more Democrats and sometimes it seems like there’s more Republicans, but the truth of the matter is very few people seem to bite it because they’re Republican.” She went on to cite the ongoing careers of “working” Republican actors like Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid.

Streaming giant Mubi has announced that it will release The Substance, the latest film from Coralie Fargeat, on 31 October 2024 – just in time for Halloween. A provocative exploration of the beauty industry and its impacts on women’s self-image, The Substance stars Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid, delivering an electrifying blend of horror, satire, and social commentary. The release date and the newly revealed trailer have already generated excitement, promising audiences a horror film that cuts deep into modern anxieties around appearance and worth.

The Substance centres around Elisabeth Sparkle, played by Demi Moore in a role that critics have called one of her best. Sparkle, a former A-list TV fitness host, is ousted from her show by an exploitative studio head, Harvey (Dennis Quaid). Facing an uncertain future, she encounters The Substance, a mysterious drug offering a path back to her youth – if only for one week at a time.

Jack Quaid stole our hearts away as the very lovable yet sometimes infuriating Hughie Campbell in The Boys. Time and again, he has established himself as an extremely capable actor. After all, he is half Dennis Quaid and half Meg Ryan! Speaking of the rom-com queen, almost a decade ago, the actress took a break from Hollywood to focus on herself and develop herself as a human being.

She finally returned to business last year with What Happens Later, a rom-com that she not only starred in but also directed and wrote. And while she has been in a number of flicks since 1981, her role as Sally Albright in When Harry Met Sally, will always be a fan favorite. However, despite the fact that the rom-com holds a very iconic scene that made the world fall in love with her,...

Seven years have gone by since director Coralie Fargeat made her feature directorial debut with a very cool revenge movie that was appropriately titled Revenge – you can read our 8/10 review of the film at This Link. Now Fargeat is back with an “explosive feminist take on body horror” called The Substance, which stars Demi Moore (Ghost) and Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). The movie received a theatrical release last month (you can read our 9/10 review Here), and now it has been announced that The Substance will be available to stream exclusively on Mubi as of October 31st. No tricks – just a Halloween treat…

The film is gory, but also humorous, and it’s quite a wild ride. Here’s the official synopsis: It generates another you. A new, younger, more beautiful, more perfect you. And there’s only one rule: You share time. One week for you.

It seems like everyone’s talking about (and unfortunately sharing social media Gif spoilers from) The Substance, Coralie Fargeat’s body-swapping, body-horror masterpiece starring Demi Moore as a fading celebrity who injects herself with a cell-replicating green substance that quite literally makes her give birth to a younger version of herself (Margaret Qualley).

With its shades of David Cronenberg and Stuart Gordon, The Substance firmly catapults Fargeat (Revenge) into the realm of mad genius, and distributor Mubi has managed to scare up $34 million at the worldwide box office thanks largely to the incredibly positive word-of-mouth. Granted, this movie should be making way more money than that, but I digress.

If you’ve been dying to experience The Substance but haven’t been able to get out to your local theater, the good news is that Fargeat’s new movie is coming home for Halloween!

In fact, The Substance heads home On Halloween.

The Substance (2024) is a satirical body horror film written, directed, and co-produced by Coralie Fargeat. The story centers on Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore), a fading celebrity who is fired from her TV show for being deemed too old. Desperate to regain her youth and career, she turns to a mysterious black market drug known as The Substance, which has the ability to create a younger version of herself named Sue (Margaret Qualley).

The program comes with strict rules: Elisabeth and Sue must alternate every seven days, sharing the same consciousness. As they navigate this bizarre arrangement, unexpected and grotesque side effects begin to unravel their lives. The film blends dark humor and body horror, drawing comparisons to Cronenberg’s work, with stellar performances from the cast. Some view it as a grotesque fever dream that explores themes of identity, obsession with youth, and the price of vanity. Set in both urban and isolated locations,...

It’s time to update your Golden Globe predictions at Gold Derby, because a major contender has just announced its awards strategy for the upcoming 2025 kudos. “The Substance” and its lead actress Demi Moore will compete in the Comedy/Musical categories, per our sister site The Hollywood Reporter. Previously, awards pundits assumed Mubi’s body horror flick would enter in the Drama races, but the satirical nature of the project convinced the campaigners — after a “debate even within the film’s and Moore’s camps” — to try their luck elsewhere.

This news comes on the heels of the November 4 submission deadline for the 2025 Golden Globes. THR’s Scott Feinberg previously unveiled the campaign strategies for many of the other films that could be seen as straddling the line between Drama and Comedy/Musical.

Being perhaps a candidate for film of the year, ‘The Substance’ (2024) is a recently released body horror film starring Demi Moore and is the second film of Coralie Fargeat. Like other entries in the genre, the film has a good deal of shock value and unnerving sequences that are in perfect tune for this Halloween season. However, ‘The Substance’ transcends this genre as it is not merely a modern attempt at a Cronenberg style body deconstruction, but a compelling look into the struggles of aging actresses and the idea of a double identity. All have been previously seen in cinema, but it is with this film that all are combined to create an experience that is as distressing as it is disturbing. One that is certainly worth checking out in anticipation for awards season. Things to do: Subscribe to The Hollywood Insider’s YouTube Channel, by clicking here. Limited Time...

Out of all the big-budget blockbusters Jake Gyllenhaal has landed in his career, the 2004 sci-fi-action piece The Day After Tomorrow most certainly wasn’t one. Although it more or less received some fans’ appreciation, a majority of the critics were still as displeased by it as ever, even though it managed to become a considerable commercial success.

Gyllenhaal, on the other hand, was rather disgruntled with the piece himself. While it was one of his initial experiences working on a big-budget project, the actor had quite a few issues with it. As he didn’t hesitate to let known to everyone, one of his biggest problems was his dialogue for the film, which he had a hard time translating to the screens.

French director and screenwriter Coralie Fargeat is back with a bang after her 2017 debut feature film “Revenge.” A powerful voice in reiterating gender issues, her works challenge societal norms and gender stereotypes, often exploring themes of rebirth, female empowerment, and the complexities of human nature. In her sophomore feature “The Substance” (2024), she continues her winning streak with her characteristic “blunt, bloody, and stylish” films, which are a fusion of exploitation and feminism.

It is a mind-blowing and gasp-inducing farcical film belonging to the genre of body horror/splatter film that challenges stereotypical conceptions of body image, beauty standards, and aging. In “The Substance,” Coralie Fargeat refashions the Jekyll and Hyde trope to develop a story in which a fading celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle uses a cell-replicating injectable substance to swap bodies with a younger, hotter, better version of herself. In the subsequent feud with the manifestation of her enhanced self, she...

“The Substance” is the new ‘satirical’ body horror feature, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid, following a ‘fading celebrity’ who uses a black market drug to create a much younger version of herself, now playing in theaters:

“…on her 50th birthday, ‘Elisabeth Sparkle’, a once-celebrated, now-faded Hollywood movie star, is unceremoniously dismissed from the long-running aerobics TV show she hosted, with producer ‘Harvey’ citing her advanced age as the reason.

“While driving home, Elisabeth is distracted by a billboard featuring herself being taken down, causing an accident. During a hospital check-up, a nurse slips her a flash drive advertising ‘The Substance’, a serum that generates a ‘younger, more beautiful, more perfect’ counterpart.

“After some deliberation, Elisabeth orders The Substance and injects the single-use activator serum, causing a much younger version of herself to emerge from her body called ‘Sue’…”

Lea Thompson is putting her ex Dennis Quaid on blast.

If you didn’t know, Lea, 63, and Dennis, 70, first met on set of Jaws 3 back in 1982. They got engaged in 1984 before splitting in 1987.

Over the weekend, Dennis endorsed Donald Trump for President while speaking at his rally in California’s Coachella Rally. During his speech, Dennis urged voters to “pick a side” and support his “favorite president of the 21st century.”

Following the rally, Lea, who has been a vocal support of Vice President Kamala Harris, took to X (formerly Twitter) to throw some major shade at Dennis.

“The Substance” is a movie starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. It is written and directed by Coralie Fargeat.

“The Substance” emerges as a film designed to stand out in every aspect, employing stark contrasts in its cinematography, embracing a Kafkaesque narrative, and maintaining a pace full of dramatic turns. It features an electrifying visual style and is driven by the performances of two exceptional actresses to tell a convoluted story filled with ingenious touches.

The mastermind behind this film is Coralie Fargeat, who not only wrote the screenplay but also directed the movie. Fargeat successfully makes “The Substance” her own creation on all levels, crafting a unique visual style characterized by provocative imagery and rhythms.

Dennis Quaid is the latest Hollywood star to throw support behind Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Over the weekend, the 70-year-old Parent Trap alum took the stage at a rally for the former president over the weekend in California’s Coachella Valley.

While giving a speech there, he urged voters to “pick a side” and support his “favorite president of the 21st century.”

“God bless you. God bless America. I’m here today to tell you that it’s time to pick a side,” he said during the speech, via Fox News. “Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution? Or for TikTok? Are we going to be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders? Which is it? Because it’s time to pick a side.”

Dennis compared Donald to former president Ronald Reagan, noting...

Dennis Quaid has declared Donald Trump the best president since Ronald Reagan.

The Golden Globe nominee referenced his starring role as his “favorite president of the 20th century” in the recent Reagan biopic as he showed his support for Trump at the Republican nominee’s campaign rally Saturday in Coachella, California.

“God bless you. God bless America,” said Quaid to the crowd. “I’m here today to tell you that it’s time to pick a side. Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution? Or for TikTok? Are we going to be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders? Which is it? Because it’s time to pick a side.”

He proceeded to compare the current state of affairs in the US to when Reagan took office. “It’s amazing how the issues of the 1980 election are very similar to what they are today,...

Most moviegoers can’t remember the last time they saw silly, campy fun on the big screen. That’s because not nearly enough of them saw Bottoms.

“Camp” in comedy is hard to define scientifically, and it’s mostly understood through examples. For instance, The Rocky Horror Picture show is considered the quintessential camp flick for its over-the-top performances, garish aesthetic and the inherent silliness of its excess. But, hey, nobody saw that movie in theaters either. In fact, it’s kind of an unspoken rule that campy comedy films can’t make a single dollar at the box office, a standard that the literal camp comedy classic Wet Hot American Summer staunchly upheld upon its release in 2001.

However, and though many of these camp comedies failed to achieve mainstream popularity, they succeeded in influencing the next generation of filmmakers who would carry on the tradition of unashamed, unrestrained playfulness,...

Hollywood has seen a lot of happily-in-love couples get married after realizing they were perfect for each other through onscreen chemistry. One of these pairs was Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid as well, both of whom decided to tie the knot after co-starring in two movies together. But like many other marriages, this pair couldn’t stay together for too long.

That said, when they did split up, a lot of rumors started swirling around how the reason for their split was alleged infidelity, with Ryan’s affair with Russell Crowe catching serious limelight. However, as it turns out, the actress never left Quaid because of Crowe, nor did she ever blame him for breaking her marriage. Rather, it seemed like the blame was on her ex-husband himself.

The upcoming US presidential elections have seen a huge wave of celebrity endorsements. Particularly the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has rallied a plethora of Hollywood bigwigs in her support. One name on the massive list is the Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts.

The Pretty Woman star has been very vocal about her support for the Democratic representative. As elections are soon approaching, the actress took it upon herself to raise awareness in her hometown. Roberts returned to Georgia to campaign for Harris, and fan reactions state she got their attention.

A couple of months ago, Jaws 3D (as well as Jaws: The Revenge) was released on 4K Ultra HD, but the release came under fire because it appears that some fairly aggressive AI was used to help restore the movie. Owing to the 3D process used to film the movie—which divided a 35mm film frame in half along the middle—Jaws 3D has never been the best-looking movie on home media. The film has always had a great deal of grain and some frame distortion, but the AI processing has smoothed things over just a little too much, as well as turning the background characters into rather horrifying creatures. We dig into the 4K release in the video embedded above, and you can also see some images of the AI upscales in the embeds below:

If these screen grabs from reddit are true, then the Jaws 3 and 4K Uhd's are just AI upscales.

Every now and then we come across stories of actors, their relationships, and the amount of turmoil or struggle they’ve had to deal with.

One of the main reasons for the project’s success was that it brought back actors who were key players in the 1986 film. With this, one cannot help but wonder why Meg Ryan wasn’t among them, even though it could have done a lot for both, the film, and her professional life.

During an interview, the director of the film, Joseph Kosinski, revealed the reason why some actors from the past weren’t brought back, and the answer is quite unfortunate for Ryan.

Prime Video is all in on Alan Ritchson and his mega-popular Reacher series. The studio announced Reacher Season 4 on Wednesday, just a few days after greenlighting The Untitled Neagley Project, a spinoff of the Reacher series starring Maria Sten. The second season of Reacher did gangbusters for Prime Video in 2023 after becoming the most-viewed release on the streaming platform.

According to Prime Video, Reacher Season 3 is inspired by the seventh book in Lee Child’s best-selling series, Persuader. In the book, Reacher must go undercover to rescue an informant held by a haunting foe from his past. Maria Sten reprises her role as Frances Neagley in Season 3, with Anthony Michael Hall, Sonya Cassidy, Brian Tee, Johnny Berchtold, Robert Montesinos, Daniel David Stewart, and Olivier Richters along for the action-packed ride.

“Reacher has become a phenomenon that continues to resonate with our global customers beyond our wildest expectations and we are...

The 1970s saw an explosion of TV-movies, and a number of these small-screen features were based on novels. The two examples here, which are some of the most memorable of their day, sit on opposite ends of the adaptation spectrum. While Bad Ronald (1974) took liberties with its source material, Are You in the House Alone? (1978) stays somewhat true to the spirit of the novel. Both features also teeter on the edge of horror, a recurring genre in the “golden age” of made-for-television movies.

Jack Vance was not a horror-only author, so Bad Ronald (1973) is an anomaly in his overall body of work. ABC quickly acted on the success of the novel, with the network ultimately airing its adaptation a week before Halloween. However, Andrew Peter Marin’s screenplay is different from what Vance had penned. Anyone who has read the original novel would understand — maybe even appreciate — the changes in director Buzz Kulik’s version.

A fixed frame hunches over a star being neatly installed onto the Hollywood Walk Of Fame— for a prime-time dance show host, Elisabeth Sparkles (played by Demi Moore). The crowd carefully steps around, photographing & admiring it. Seasons merge rapidly with the passing of time. Noticeable cracks start to appear on it as people carelessly walk all over it & even tarnish it with an accidental ketchup smear. The camera slowly inches closer to the star to intimately observe its displeasing, vulnerable & stained atrocity.

Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance” opens with a noteworthy scene lasting a little over two minutes as a metaphor for a withering star—one of many such instances, establishing exposition as its primary language of storytelling. It doesn’t shy away from vehemently bombarding every choice & nuance throughout, with glaringly stylish & ginormous text alongside the nudging symbolic visuals. As an ardent admirer of purposeful & gory body horror — “The Substance...

Meg Ryan is not here for Dennis Quaid riding the wave of their son Jack Quaid’s success, and it seems she’s had enough. The When Harry Met Sally star reportedly feels like Quaid is trying to steal the credit for Jack’s big break, but Ryan’s the one who actually made the key call to launch his career. Rumor has it she’s furious, reminding everyone that she was the one hustling behind the scenes, pitching Jack for roles while Quaid was more of a bystander.

Dennis Quaid recently took the theatre by a storm with his autobiographical film, Reagan. The actor is one of the most celebrated Hollywood celebrities who established his credibility via a plethora of movies.

Quaid once attributed The Parent Trap as giving his career a second chance or a turnover. The hilarious family movie has since then been regarded as a classic, one which launched Lindsay Lohan too. However, despite its popularity the senior actor revealed he wasn’t interested in a sequel. The reason however is not with the movie itself rather it’s because one absent cast member.

Exclusive: Director Jeff Celentano and producer Warren Ostergard, who recently collaborated on Dennis Quaid movie The Hill, have reunited to launch Enliven Content, a film and TV production company with a focus on “true, inspiring, and uplifting stories”.

The company’s debut development project is Cody’s Wish, the true story of champion racehorse Cody’s Wish and his endearing bond with his namesake, Cody Dorman, a Kentucky teenager with a rare genetic disorder and love for horse racing.

Dorman first met the horse during a Make-a-Wish visit to Gainsborough Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, when Cody’s Wish was a five-month-old foal in 2018. Unnamed at the time, the animal is said to have walked over to Dorman’s wheelchair and put his head in the boy’s lap. Dorman drew the same reaction in succeeding visits, and the horse never failed to acknowledge the young boy’s presence. When it...

One shocking incident involved him facing five bullet wounds in an event that led to the infamous East Coast vs West Coast rivalry in the hip-hop world. On 30 November 1994, the Do for Love singer was shot five times during a robbery at Quad Studios in New York City. However, his somewhat nonchalant response in the aftermath gave fans some chuckles.

Whoopi Goldberg gave Zachary Levi a little lesson in Hollywood on The View after the Shazam star said his endorsement for Donald Trump could end his career.

Levi swore his vote for the twice-impeached former president of the United States in a rally in Michigan over the weekend. When the topic came up on the ABC talk show, Goldberg had a gripe with the Chuck alum, saying Hollywood was a “very, very liberal town” that could cost him work in the industry.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Goldberg said. “From the beginning of Hollywood, it’s always been a very right-leaning town. But I know you don’t know much about the Hollywood history, so let me school you.”

Goldberg continued, “We are, like America is, we’re a mixed bunch. And sometime it may seem like there’s more Democrats and sometimes it seems like there’s more Republicans.
