Guess which well-known actor is about to make his Netflix debut soon? Well, it's none other than Vince Vaughn, an actor known for starring in many comedy flicks. And guess what? The new Netflix movie he's set to star in is a comedy movie as well. It's titled Nonnas, and we're about to tell you everything there is to know about it down below.

After a competitive bidding war, Netflix came out securing the worldwide rights to the comedy film. The streamer reportedly paid $20 million+ for the rights. The movie was initially going to be part of the Toronto International Film Festival, but with Netflix snagging the rights, it will be released on its platform instead in 2025.

Nonnas is based on a true story. It was written by Liz Maccie and directed by Stephen Chbosky. Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane produce for Madison Wells and Jack Turner for Matador Content.

Netflix has picked up director Stephen Chbosky’s feature comedy Nonnas, which stars Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire and Brenda Vaccaro.

The feature portrays a man after the loss of his mother opening up an Italian restaurant with a group of local grandmothers as chefs.

Chbosky wrote the screenplay for Disney’s live action Beauty and the Beast and the film adaptation of R.J. Palacio’s Wonder, and directed the screen adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen and penned and directed the film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the acclaimed 2012 teen drama that starred Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller.

Rounding out the ensemble cast for Nonnas are Linda Cardellini, Drea De Matteo, Joe Manganiello, Michael Rispoli and Campbell Scott. The film is written by Liz Maccie and produced by Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane for Madison Wells and Jack Turner for Boat Rocker’s Matador Content.

Exclusive: Netflix has won an auction for the Stephen Chbosky-directed comedy Nonnas in a deal Deadline hears is $20 million-plus for worldwide rights. Several bidders were in the mix on a film that had been invited to be part of the Toronto International Film Festival slate. That has changed and the film won’t make the trip. Netflix will release the film globally in 2025.

Scripted by Liz Maccie, and based on a true story, Nonnas stars Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, Linda Cardellini, Drea De Matteo, Joe Manganiello, Michael Rispoli, and Campbell Scott.

Vaughn plays Joe, a single man in a dead-end job whose mother has spoiled him with her cooking. When she dies, he tries to pull himself out of grief mode by risking everything to open an Italian restaurants and honor his mother. He enlists a group of Italian grandmothers, who feed his love for home cooking, and they become surrogate moms. Chbosky has a knack for this kind of material, directing Wonder and The Perks of Being a Wallflower among others.

Nonnas is produced by Gigi Pritzker and Rachel Shane for Madison Wells, and Jack Turner for Matador Content. The exec producers are Alexis Garcia, Scott Budnick and Ameet Shukla for 1Community, Vince Vaughn, Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin for Matador Content, Amanda Morgan Palmer and Stacy Calabrese for Madison Wells.

Netflix confirmed the deal, and offered reaction from Nonnas‘ filmmaking team:

Gigi Pritzker, whose Madison Wells originated the film, said she was “delighted that Nonnas has found a great home at Netflix, where it will be widely seen and enjoyed. The film focuses on family, food and community, and in this turbulent time those are things we can all celebrate.”

Said Fifth Season Head of Film Christopher Slager: “Once again Stephen Chbosky has brought magic to the screen in this heartfelt and joyous film. We cannot wait for audiences everywhere to sit down at the table with us and share this fantastic film thanks to our partners at Netflix.”

Scott Budnick, 1Community Executive Producer added that “Nonnas is a celebration of family – the ones you’re born into and the ones you create. We are thrilled to bring this family to Netflix.”

The deal was brokered by WME Independent and Fifth Season, latter of which was the studio on the film. It marks the third deal in the run-up to a Toronto Festival that is chock full of acquisition titles, including some titles that played Telluride. This after the Dito Montiel-directed Riff Raff was acquired for US by Roadside Attractions, and Sony Pictures Classics acquired Jane Austen Wrecked My Life before its TIFF premiere.

The available titles that buyers saw at Telluride include September 5, about how ABC Sports team broadcasting the 1972 Olympics in Munich, German rose to the moment and covered the kidnap and massacre of 11 members of the Israeli team in real time. The twists and turns and split-second decisions they made under Roone Arledge make for a harrowing thriller. Also in that mix is The Friend. In that film, Bill Murray plays an acclaimed writer whose companion is a Great Dane named Apollo. When he dies, the dog is adopted by one of the writer’s protegees (Naomi Watts) who tries to stash the oversized high-maintenance pooch in her Manhattan rent-controlled apartment, which has a firm no dogs allowed policy. Scott McGehee and David Siegel direct a film that was one of the buzz titles of Tellurides.

While recent TIFF deal making has been slow going each year since the pandemic, the abundance of plum titles with strong casts, and an expected buyer appetite could portend a strong atmosphere for deals. TIFF begins tomorrow night.

The Tribeca Film Festival is always worthwhile for character-driven humanist dramas that get lifted from well-known actors, and the new Latinx-centered family drama, “Allswell In New York,” which debuted at Tribeca last year, looks like it fits the bill.

"How did we survive?" "A little bit of luck... A 'lotta bit of grace." S&r Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Allswell in New York, which initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. It won Best Screenplay at the fest back then, and it also just played at the New Hampshire Film Festival this fall. Allswell in New York follows the story of three Puerto Rican sisters in New York who are navigating life's challenges of single motherhood, career, and family, while finding the humor, solace, and bonds of sisterhood make it all bearable. This Latinx dramedy stars Elizabeth Rodriguez (Orange is the New Black), Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), Daphne Rubin-Vega (In The Heights), and the talented Bobby Cannavale, along with Max Casella, Michael Rispoli, Felix Solis, and Mackenzie Lansing. This looks wholesome and authentic, telling stories about life in NYC that we don't often hear.

Exclusive: The Dtla Film Festival has set the full feature lineup for its 15th edition, taking place at Regal L.A. Live from November 1-5, announcing the Jack Huston starrer Hail Mary as its opening night film.

Also starring Angela Sarafyan, Natalia del Riego, and Benny Emmanuel, the film from Rosemary Rodriguez is described as a genre-bending retelling of the Mary and Joseph story following an undocumented, pregnant migrant’s journey to make it safely across the U.S. border.

Nicki Micheaux’s Summer of Violence will serve as Centerpiece film for the fest, being put on in accordance with SAG-AFTRA strike guidelines, with Deborah Attoinese’s Women in Fire to close it out.

Michael Imperioli may be best known for playing Christopher Moltisanti on the TV series The Sopranos, but he has over 100 other screen acting credits and several writing credits (including multiple episodes of The Sopranos). His first writing credit came on 1999 crime drama Summer of Sam (watch it Here), which was directed by Spike Lee… and during an interview for the documentary Ghosts of the Chelsea Hotel (and Other Rock & Roll Stories), Imperioli revealed that he visited a witch and used otherworldly means in an effort to get Summer of Sam into production!

Scripted by Imperioli, Lee, and Victor Colicchio, Summer of Sam has the following synopsis: During the summer of 1977, a killer known as the Son of Sam keeps all of New York City on edge with a series of brutal murders.

Acclaimed HBO series "The Sopranos" was no ordinary gangster show -- it introduced audiences to the inner neuroses of a complicated anti-hero and his criminal work-life balancing act. While mobster Tony Soprano would be played by the late James Gandolfini, giving one of the most acclaimed television performances of all time, the lead role had no end of early contenders.

At one point, series creator David Chase had musician Steven Van Zandt, who had no acting experience, in mind to play the role with more of a comedic bent. Michael Rispoli was also up for the part; he told Imperioli and Schirripa on their Talking Sopranos podcast that he auditioned for Chase in New York, then did a test again in Century City, where he crossed paths with Van Zandt and "Jimmy" Gandolfini. For a hot second, the role was up in the air. Rispoli recalls:

Second Stage Theater will bring back its simulcast streaming of Broadway performances this winter with Stephen Adly Guirgis’ Between Riverside and Crazy.

The non-profit theater company will sell tickets to live-streamed performances of the play, which will also be happening in front of a live audience, from Jan. 31 through Feb. 12, 2023, the last two scheduled weeks of the play’s run. While rare in the industry, due to the costs involved and fear of cannibalizing the audience, this is the second time the theater company has simulcast a Broadway play from the Hayes Theater.

Last year, Second Stage launched the program by simulcasting 14 performances of Lynn Nottage’s Clydes during the last two weeks of its run in January and in the thick of the omicron variant. Eleven of the 14 simulcast performances sold out, with 78 percent of viewers coming from outside New York City.

The rapper has also established his place as a Hollywood actor, with starring roles in films such as Just Wright, The Informer, and John Wick: Chapter 2.

However, he has recently moved his talents over to the Broadway stage and will be starring in the role of Junior in Stephen Adly Guirgis’ play, Between Riverside and Crazy.

“This has been a dream of mine for a very long time to act in a play, to do theater, and to be a part of a theater company,” he shared on Instagram. “I am supremely grateful and overwhelmingly inspired to be a part of Between Riverside and Crazy. I can’t wait to begin this process and to live this journey.”

The rapper continued: “You never could have told me that little south side boy that he would be on Broadway. When I got this role, I called my mother like I had gotten my first record contract.

Common, the actor, rapper and songwriter who has won Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Awards, will make his Broadway debut in the coveted role of “Junior” in Stephen Adly Guirgis’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play Between Riverside and Crazy.

“Allswell” is one of those rare movies that feels less like a cinematic presentation and more like a personal invitation into someone’s home. There’s no pageantry, no fuss; they didn’t even clean the place up for you. You’re going to get to know everyone better, they’re not going to hide their unflattering sides, and by the end you’ll feel peaceful and welcome.

Directed by Ben Snyder, it’s the story of two sisters, Daisy and Ida, and their sister-in-law Serene (Daphne Rubin-Vega). Daisy, about to adopt a child from a young mother who advertised on Craigslist, co-owns a restaurant with no small amount of drama attached. Clinic counselor Ida reconnects with their troubled and dying brother Desmond, and Serene is losing patience with her adult daughter, Connie, who’s working as an erotic model.

Family members come together in the wake of trauma, only to dredge up past wounds as they eventually hope to start fresh. It’s a well-worn trope that’s an indie-film staple because it relies on small casts and limited locations.

Soon, the familiar is mired in unrealized character arcs, clunky lines, and

The indie drama “Allswell” wrapped principal photography this month in New York, N.Y. The film stars Elizabeth Rodriguez, Liza Colón-Zayas and Daphne Rubin-Vega (from “In the Heights”) along with a cast that includes Felix Solis, Max Casella, Michael Rispoli, Shirley Rodriguez, MacKenzie Lansing and J.

“Allswell” tells a story of family trauma and reconciliation. The film was written collaboratively between director Ben Snyder and the three lead actors.

Additionally, the film marks the second feature directed and written by Snyder. Snyder’s first feature was the award-winning “11:55,” which also starred Rodriguez.

"Are you worried a new dead guy will show up and sweep me off my feet?" Vertical Ent. has debuted an official trailer for an amusing romantic comedy titled Here After, previously known as Faraway Eyes when it initially premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival last year. This is a dark fantasy-comedy about the meaning of love in the afterlife. When an actor dies after a bad breakup, he finds himself stuck in "singles Purgatory" where he must find his soul mate in order to cross over to the other side. Ha! And you thought dating in real life was hard, just wait until the "ghostly dating scene". The film stars Andy Karl as Michael, with Christina Ricci, Nora Arnezeder, Jackie Cruz, and Michael Rispoli. This reminds me a bit of The Lobster at first, about being stuck somewhere until you find a partner. It looks quite sweet, I'm curious.
