5 Actors Who Could Play Freddy Krueger in the New Movie
The nightmare is officially returning.
Earlier this month, Paramount Pictures announced that a brand new A Nightmare on Elm Street film is in development through its new horror label, Paramount Primal. The project is being produced in partnership with the Wes Craven estate and will be based on Craven’s original 1984 screenplay, marking the franchise’s first new theatrical chapter in more than 15 years.
With no director or cast announced, fans have already begun asking the biggest question of all:
Who should become the next Freddy Krueger?
No one will ever replace Robert Englund, whose performance helped make Freddy one of the most recognizable horror icons of all time. Instead, Paramount has an opportunity to introduce a fresh interpretation of the dream demon while honoring the legacy that made the character legendary.
Here are five actors we’d love to see take on the role.
1. Bill Skarsgård
If there’s one actor who has already proven he can reinvent an iconic horror villain, it’s Bill Skarsgård.
His unforgettable performance as Pennywise in IT showcased his ability to transform through subtle facial expressions, unsettling body language, and an eerie sense of unpredictability. Rather than trying to imitate Robert Englund, Skarsgård could create a completely new version of Freddy that feels terrifying for an entirely new generation.

2. Jack O’Connell
Jack O’Connell may not be the first name fans think of, but that’s exactly why he’d be such an interesting choice.
Whether playing violent criminals or emotionally damaged antiheroes, O’Connell brings an intensity that feels authentic. He could portray Freddy as less of a wisecracking slasher and more of a psychologically disturbing nightmare that haunts victims long before the killing begins.

3. David Dastmalchian
Few actors have become as respected within the horror community as David Dastmalchian.
His performances in films like Late Night with the Devil have shown that he can balance charm, vulnerability, and unsettling menace all at once. Dastmalchian’s unique voice and naturally eerie screen presence could make for one of the most unsettling interpretations of Freddy Krueger yet.

4. Walton Goggins
Walton Goggins might be the wildcard on this list, but he possesses one quality that’s essential to Freddy Krueger: charisma.
Freddy doesn’t simply kill his victims—he enjoys tormenting them. Goggins has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to mix dark humor, intimidation, and unpredictability into every performance. That combination could make for a Freddy who is equal parts entertaining and terrifying.

5. Andy Serkis (Motion Capture)
Andy Serkis has built an incredible career bringing unforgettable characters to life through motion capture. From Gollumin The Lord of the Rings to Caesar in the Planet of the Apes trilogy and Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Serkis has repeatedly shown that digital performances can be just as emotionally powerful as traditional acting.
Rather than relying solely on practical makeup, Paramount could use motion-capture technology to create a Freddy Krueger whose movements feel unnaturally fluid, distorted, and dreamlike. Serkis’ mastery of performance capture could allow Freddy to move in impossible ways that perfectly fit the surreal nature of nightmares, creating one of the most visually unique versions of the character ever seen on screen.

Final Thoughts
Paramount’s newly announced A Nightmare on Elm Street film is still in the early stages of development, meaning fans may be waiting a while before an actor is officially cast as Freddy Krueger.
Whoever lands the role will have enormous shoes—or rather, a burned fedora and bladed glove—to fill. Robert Englund’s portrayal defined the character for decades, but every horror icon eventually finds a new generation.
Whether it’s Bill Skarsgård’s haunting presence, Jack O’Connell’s intensity, David Dastmalchian’s psychological edge, Walton Goggins’ sinister charisma, or Andy Serkis’ groundbreaking motion-capture performance, each actor brings something unique that could help Freddy Krueger haunt audiences once again.

Taylor Frankie Paul’s Ex Is Dating Mormon Wives Guest
Taylor Frankie Paul continues to make headlines, but this time she has one of her exes to thank for the renewed attention.
The reality TV star has been embroiled in controversies from domestic violence allegations to child custody drama and, most recently, a MomTok issue with her co-stars.
Now, she is making waves because her ex, Dakota Mortensen, is dating a little too close to home. Taylor Frankie Paul shares a son named Ever with her former flame, and they are currently butting heads over his custody.
Dakota has finally moved on from his tumultuous relationship with Taylor, but it seems he can’t get enough of women on the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” The exes are stars on the show, and Dakota’s new flame, Shinia Powell, was a guest on the Hulu series.
The show, which follows a group of Utah-based TikTok influencers known as “MomTok,” has been embroiled in drama thanks to Taylor’s clashes with her co-stars. Now, there may be more feud brewing with Dakota’s blossoming relationship with Powell.
A source told PEOPLE the new couple grew closer during Dakota’s difficult moments, describing Powell as his “steady source of support.” They noted the duo started as close friends, which naturally grew into something more.
The New Relationship Comes Amid A Nasty Custody Battle
The source added that the lovebirds were not rushing into anything, saying, “They are enjoying their time together while thoughtfully navigating what that means for them and their children.” They added that Dakota and Powell wanted privacy as they moved forward “within an already tumultuous environment.”
The mention of a tumultuous environment seemingly referenced the ongoing legal drama between Taylor and Dakota. The exes have been butting heads over the custody of their son, Ever. The outlet reported that the situation escalated with a July 13 filing.
Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services reportedly filed a petition requesting that a juvenile court order protective supervision and appoint a guardian ad litem to represent Taylor’s three children. The petition claimed the entertainer’s kids were “abused, neglected, or dependent.”
The MomTok Drama Exploded With ‘SLOMW’ Stars Unfollowing Each Other

Besides the custody drama, Taylor had her hands full with issues with her “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” co-stars. The Blast covered the drama, reporting days earlier that eagle-eyed fans had noticed the reality TV star had unfollowed Miranda Hope and Layla Taylor.
The duo responded by unfollowing Taylor and defending their actions. Miranda stressed that she hit the unfollow button after noticing the mother of three no longer followed her. Layla echoed similar sentiments, noting she did not know why Taylor unfollowed, but she would not support someone one-sided.
Miranda and Layla’s actions came at the heels of Whitney Leavitt’s clash with Taylor. Whitney unfollowed the latter on Instagram, with Taylor responding with a rant, claiming she was the only one who repeatedly defended her co-star in the past. Yet, she was being abandoned at her lowest.
Another Co-Star Slammed The ‘Bachelorette’ Star As The Problem

The MomTok drama began when Leavitt shared a video with “SLOMW” stars excluding Taylor and captioned it, “We’re surviving.” The latter responded by dropping a video showcasing the job opportunities that have come her way outside the reality TV show.
Taylor also shared a post where she seemingly implied that the show wouldn’t have happened without her. The Blast reported that her words did not sit right with Matthews, who slammed the entertainer as insecure.
According to Mikayla, every woman on the show was responsible for the MomTok era and not a single person could be credited for their success. She accused Taylor of “weaponizing and manipulating” fans with the “I’m the reason you have this” narrative only to “intimidate” others.
Taylor Frankie Paul Blames Her Outbursts On Life Issues

Mikayla’s words seem to have awakened something in her co-star, as Taylor seemingly apologized for the MomTok drama. The Blast reported that she took to Instagram on July 12 with a lengthy statement, seemingly apologizing for her outbursts.
She claimed her frustration stemmed from dealing with too many things at once, and she couldn’t hold back when she saw Leavitt’s video with the other cast members. The TV personality felt excluded and had an emotional reaction to the situation.
Although she did not directly apologize for her actions, Taylor stressed that she was ready to move on from the MomTok drama. She argued that she never discredited her co-stars’ success and clarified that her reaction stemmed from feeling betrayed, not jealousy.

‘The Odyssey’ Is Actually the Most Christopher Nolan Film He’s Ever Made
It’s no secret that Christopher Nolan has built one of the most impressive resumes in modern Hollywood. By refusing to repeat himself and always maintaining his unique filmmaking style, he’s created a broad body of work that includes noir mysteries, superhero blockbusters, science fiction, historical drama, and, with the release of The Odyssey, a mythological epic. However, within the seemingly-disparate 13 movies Nolan has directed, a remarkably consistent set of ideas stick out. Nolan’s fascinations with time, identity, obsession, guilt, and sacrifice appear across nearly all his movies: Interstellar focuses on the long journey home and the emotional cost of absence; The Prestige centers on obsession; The Dark Knight trilogy examines what it means to be a hero.
That’s why his adaptation of The Odyssey doesn’t feel like the unexpected career choice some thought it was when the film was first announced. Previously, Nolan has made a point to present a certain realism in his movies, with even more fantastical works like Inception and Tenet feeling conceptually grounded in reality.
However, despite his general aversion to the fantastical elements of filmmaking, he embraces them with The Odyssey — and rather that serving as a rejection of his previous work, this decision builds on every movie he’s made before. It’s the themes that he infuses into the movie that has already led to its massive success, both financially and critically, despite a campaign mounted against the film deriding it as “woke,” with many believing it was doomed to fail. Even though the noise outside was loud, Nolan was determined to make the movie he envisioned, by infusing it with what he’s learned along the way.
Nolan’s career has largely been defined by stories about people who find themselves in circumstances with the potential to unravel their lives, and whose defining strengths threaten to become their greatest weaknesses. J. Robert Oppenheimer’s pride and pursuit of knowledge becomes his curse, a creation that could bring about humanity’s end in the wrong hands. Bruce Wayne’s desire to protect others threatens to destroy the life that he knows while he fights crime as Batman. Inception‘s Dom Cobb grapples with his past and his PTSD, while it causes him to spiral downwards.
Odysseus, portrayed in The Odyssey by Matt Damon, is far from an ordinary person; he’s a Greek general who has found himself far from home, stuck in what seems like an endless cycle of physical and mental challenges on his quest to get home to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland). Odysseus very much feels like an amalgamation of characters like Oppenheimer, Bruce Wayne, and Cobb, among many others of Nolan’s protagonists. Nolan’s version differs from Homer’s original character in a number of ways, with Damon’s performance feeling more like an original character from the director and less like a Greek hero. It works here because Nolan knows what works for him, how to get the best out of the actors in the moment, and what to keep in place to allow the characters feel real — and his filmography shows us that.
Odysseus and his men are no saints; they burned an entire city, butchering its population, and thus offended the Gods and were punished for their wickedness. While we as an audience have not committed the sins they have, we know what it feels like to feel guilt and chastise ourselves for it. In a world filled with gods, monsters, witches, and an underworld designed to torment the living, his characters still manage to feel grounded, so that you can identify with them.
‘The Odyssey’ Embraces the Blockbuster Spectacle Christopher Nolan is Known For
While The Odyssey works fantastically as a character piece, examining desire, trauma, desperation, and longing, Nolan doesn’t shy away from what he’s known for: spectacle. The fall of Troy unfolds almost like a horror scene, as the Greek army gleefully massacres the Trojan population, military and civilian alike. Despite the ghastly violence on screen, Nolan knows how to film it to enrapture the viewer. You feel every arrow shot, every explosion. These are all methods he utilized in films like Dunkirk and Interstellar, which keep the audience focused on the screen and let the visuals tell a story.
In scenes following Odysseus’ crew’s encounter with the Cyclops, the battle against Scylla and Charybdis, and trying to survive a fight with the giant Laestrygonians, The Odyssey never feels small. It’s loud, it’s violent, and it’s full of dread, all qualities that you can find in almost any Nolan film. That said, even with the blockbuster angle, some of the film’s biggest moments come at the smallest of times. Odysseus’ conversations with crew mates, Penelope, Telemachus, and Eumaeus, his loyal servant played by John Leguizamo, are among the movie’s most pivotal.
It’s this delicate balancing act that Nolan has perfected in the past, where he delivers action that can keep you visually engrossed — but those moments have no weight if the audience loses sight of Odysseus’ desire to return home. Nolan continues to show that he can make spectacle serve the character instead of merely overshadowing it.
Looking across Christopher Nolan’s career, The Odyssey doesn’t feel like a dramatic change in direction. Rather, it is the culmination of everything he has worked toward so far. His mastery of non-linear storytelling, complex heroes, blockbuster action, and immersive world-building are all perfectly suited for this project. For the first time, it doesn’t feel like he’s taking on another ambitious challenge. Rather, it feels like the movie he’s been waiting for his entire career.

Godzilla vs. Kong Star Kaylee Hottle Cause of Death Revealed
New details surrounding Kaylee Hottle’s death have been revealed.
The Godzilla vs. Kong actress died of multiple blunt force injuries in a car crash on Tuesday, July 21, the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to Deadline.
The manner of death is listed as accidental. An initial autopsy was also completed on Wednesday, July 22, with results to be released at a later time.
Earlier this week, news broke that Hottle had died after being involved in a car accident in Maryland. She was 18.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office previously issued a press release on Tuesday, confirming that officers responded to a single-vehicle collision in Ijamsville, Maryland, at about 2:52 a.m. local time.
A preliminary investigation shared that a vehicle driven by a 19-year-old man traveled off the right side of the road and struck a culvert. The press release noted that excessive speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash.
The driver, whose name has yet to be revealed, was transported to a local hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening. One of the passengers declined medical treatment at the scene, while the second passenger was identified as Hottle. She was transported from the scene to a trauma center in the area, where she was pronounced dead.
The crash is currently under investigation by the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Unit.
Hottle was well known for playing Jia, a deaf youngster who is adopted by Rebecca Hall’s Dr. Ilene Andrews, in the Godzilla franchise. Her character communicated with King Kong via sign language.
“Devastated to hear this news,” Hall, 44, shared via Instagram on Tuesday with throwback photos from the set of Godzilla vs. Kong. “ My heart goes out to your family. You will be missed Kaylee.”
Costar Millie Bobby Brown added, “I’m so devastated to hear this. You will be deeply missed Kaylee.”
Hottle was born in Atlanta and comes from a multi-generational deaf family. She was raised in Austin, Texas, and attended the Texas School for the Deaf.
Outside of the MonsterVerse films, Hottle appeared in a 2021 episode of Magnum P.I. and continued finding success in Hollywood. In 2024, she received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Younger Performer in a Film for her work in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
“I see a lot of positive things. There’s not a lot of Deaf roles or opportunities out there,” Hottle shared with The Houston Chronicle in March 2024. “And so now we’re able, [and] I’m able to get them, and I think I’ve seen more and more growth and positivity.”

Cajun Navy VP Says He’ll Turn Over Body Photos
Roommates, United Cajun Navy vice president Brian Trascher is opening up about his role in the search for Nolan Xavier Wells on July 6. Trasher joined the aircraft search team and snapped wide-angle photos of the law-enforcement response from about 400 feet above ground. He says he later zoomed in on the images and noticed Nolan’s body. Now, Trascher says he’s willing to give the photos to Nolan’s parents, Christine and Elmore Wonsley, if they want to see them.

United Cajun Navy VP Shares Details From The Search For Nolan Wells & The Photos He Captured
Recently, Cajun Navy Vice President Brian Trascher spoke exclusively with TMZ about the day Nolan Wells’ body was discovered. Trascher said he captured images of the scene during the search, and after zooming in on the photos, he noticed a body that fit the description of Nolan Wells. He explained that he never intended to photograph the body, but the images captured it during the search. Brian also said the photos show “a body laying faced down at the shoreline right at the water’s edge wearing swim trunks.” He added that some images are difficult to look at and hopes Nolan’s family never has to see them, but he said the United Cajun Navy will provide anything that Nolan’s parents request. “We will give them whatever they want, anytime they want, all they have to do is ask,” Trascher said.
Brian Trascher Explains Why His Team Held Off On Sharing Their Findings With Nolan’s Family
Brian also explained why he and his team decided not to share details from the day they found Nolan with his parents right away. He said he didn’t want to add to the emotional pain Nolan’s parents were already experiencing after learning about his death. Trascher added that he believed Nolan’s mother would likely ask him to explain what he saw, and he felt those details could have made an already difficult moment even harder. “I just didn’t think it would be helpful to his mom as she was just finding out that her son was dead.”
Furthermore, Trascher made it clear that he was never trying to hide anything. He said plenty of law enforcement officials were near Nolan’s body and could have also provided details from the scene. He added that he later learned that Nolan’s parents did not get access to view his body, which was something he didn’t know at the time. Trascher explained that if he had known, he would have shared information that could’ve helped Wells’ family get more clarity.
Attorney Ben Crump Shares Preliminary Findings From Nolan’s Independent Autopsy
Brian Trascher’s remarks come shortly after Attorney Ben Crump provided an update on Nolan Xavier Wells’ independent autopsy. On Wednesday, July 22, Crump addressed the findings during a press conference at the 117th NAACP National Convention. He explained that Dr. Roger Mitchell, a pathologist and current president of the National Medical Association, performed the independent autopsy and shared the preliminary observations.
According to Crump, the autopsy listed Nolan Wells’ cause and manner of death as “undetermined pending investigation.” He also revealed that the preliminary examination found a 12×8-inch area of “soft tissue” with red discoloration on the back of Wells’ head. Attorney Crump further stated that doctors could not examine certain internal neck structures because they did not receive the trachea and other neck tissues with Wells’ body for the second autopsy. Crump added that Dr. Mitchell wants to receive the missing tissue so he can conduct a more thorough review and reach a clearer conclusion.
“It is assumed that the initial pathologists retained these structures for additional evaluation. The retention […] is common […] He doesn’t know why they held the throat back, but he says the throat was not with the body of Nolan Wells when he received it in Washington DC to perform the second autopsy of the body,” Crump explained,

“RHOSLC” Star Whitney Rose And Husband Living Separate Lives
Production on season seven of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” wrapped in May 2026. Now, months later, a new report says one of the show’s stars, Whitney Rose, is living a separate life from her husband, Justin Rose. Following the report, some of her co-stars have seemingly weighed in on the tension with Whitney.
The rumored trouble in the Rose household comes after another “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star, Angie Katsanevas, has reportedly split from her husband of nearly three decades.

Whitney has been open about some of the problems she’s faced in her marriage. This is the case both on “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” and in various interviews and pubic appearances. However, according to Page Six, the beloved Bravo couple is said to be living separate lives despite still being married and under the same roof.
An insider said, “They are never together, even when they’re in the same place, like the gym.” The source also says that Whitney and Justin have expressed “frustrations” about their marriage to people in their lives. Additionally, it’s being said that they remain a couple “for the sake of the kids.”
Whitney Left Justin Rose Out Of A Recent Photo Dump
As mentioned, Whitney and Justin have made no secret of their marital issues since joining “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” However, the Bravo star sparked new rumors in July 2026 when she left her husband out of a photo dump.
She said in the caption of the Instagram post, “This summer I have been enjoying the simple things that bring my life the deepest sense of happiness and joy.
Whitney then listed the aspects of her life she’d been enjoying, writing, “Time with my family, Bobbie & Brooks, sunrises, sunsets, food, golf, friends, mountains, sunshine, and healing.” The photos included the children she shares with Justin, various friends, a beach trip, and more.
It’s important to note that while she didn’t mention Justin by name, Whitney did list family in the post. Still, many wondered why she omitted him directly, and others questioned the absence of her wedding ring in the photos.
Whitney And Justin Have Been Married Since 2009
Whitney met Justin while they were both employees at a direct sales company, with him being her boss at the time. After starting an office romance, they left their respective partners and then tied the knot in November 2009.
Since getting married, the couple has had two children; the first, Bobbie, was born in 2010, with the second, Brooks, arriving in 2013. They celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary in November 2025, with her celebrating the occasion on Instagram.
She said in the caption, “Happy Anniversary @justinmichaelrose. Today we celebrate 16 years of marriage. I looked up the “symbol” and “gift” that you give someone who is celebrating 16 years, and it told me that the symbol is wax. At first, I was like wth, but I started reading more about it, and it’s beautiful.”
Whitney continued, “The wax represents the flexibility and the warmth that a couple needs to mold their lives together over time. This is beautiful, and it definitely resonates with how much we have been through yet while always loving each other every step of the way. I love you, J. Thanks for molding this life with me.”
Whitney’s ‘Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City’ Co-stars Have Seemingly Referenced The Issues

Following the report about Whitney and Justin living separate lives, their co-star, Meredith Marks, posted a cryptic message to her official Threads account. She said, “It’s ironic when you see everything that has been said about you manifest in the people who said it.”
Marks continued, “Much more to come on this subject, but people who spread negativity about an aspect of someone else’s life usually are insecure of that in their own life. 2026 has been a year of karma in so many different ways.”
It’s important to note that this comes after Whitney and Marks had a strained relationship in season six of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” Additionally, another “RHOSLC” co-star, Lisa Barlow, has posted what many fans assume to be a diss to Whitney.
She did so by taking to Instagram to post a photo of herself alongside her husband, John Barlow, highlighting their tequila brand, Vida Tequila. She said in the caption, “Partners in it all.” Fans reacted, with one person saying, “Messy.” Someone else said, “Shady.” Lastly, someone else wrote, “I love the pettiness of it all.”
Of course, it should be noted that Brooks and Barlow could have been referencing Katsanevas’ rumored split from her husband. This is especially true of Barlow, who had a difficult season six with Katsanevas.
Whitney Previously Opened Up About The ‘Rules’ In Her Marriage

Season six of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” premiered in 2025, with Whitney’s marriage to Justin being highly talked about. According to Bravo, she opened up in an episode from November about the rules that make their marriage work.
She said, “My agreement with my husband is: I’m not gonna do anything stupid, I’m always going to get home safe, and I’ll always communicate with him. Agreements need to be had.”
Whitney continued to explain, saying, “Obviously, with our age difference, like, we’ve talked about it a lot. If there’s something that I wanna do, then I would bring it to Justin, and we’d talk about it. Obviously, with our age difference, like, we’ve talked about it a lot. If there’s something that I wanna do, then I would bring it to Justin, and we’d talk about it.”
She added, “The minute you break trust with the agreement, it’s over. So you can’t do anything behind each other’s backs. You have to follow the rules. And he was doing the same. But the best thing I ever did was speak what I need and want.”

Ghostface Has An Unexpected, Risqué New Career Move
Ghostface is trading the murder weapon for a camera as part of a raunchy new marketing campaign for the latest “Scary Movie” sequel. The masked killer, who became an instantly recognizable figure through the “Scream” franchise and its parody counterpart, has officially opened an OF account. To introduce Ghostface to the platform, original “Scary Movie” star and experienced adult content creator Carmen Electra offered some hilariously inappropriate content advice.

Ghostface’s surprising OF debut coincides with the digital release of the sixth “Scary Movie” installment. Rather than placing one of the sequel’s actors on the subscription platform, the marketing campaign created an account for the horror villain himself.
The profile leans heavily into Ghostface’s murderous reputation, joking that the masked killer has a “high body count.” However, the page apparently establishes at least one firm boundary for subscribers by insisting there will be no “foot stuff.” While the account’s language plays with the adult nature of OF, it also fits the exaggerated, risqué humor that has defined the “Scary Movie” franchise.
The unusual promotion comes after the sequel earned an impressive $230 million at the global box office following its theatrical release in June.
Carmen Electra Teaches Ghostface How To Create Adult Content
Electra appears alongside Ghostface in a promotional video introducing the killer’s latest career venture. The 54-year-old “Baywatch” star, who has built her own following as an OF creator, takes charge of a photoshoot and attempts to teach Ghostface how to produce seductive content. “Turn around and give me some a-s,” Electra commands in the video.
Ghostface follows her direction by turning around and twerking on a sofa while still wearing the franchise’s signature mask and black robe.
Electra also has the killer recreate her memorable opening sequence from the original “Scary Movie.” In the new version, Ghostface runs through a garden sprinkler in their underwear, offering an absurd reversal of the scene that helped introduce audiences to the parody franchise.
‘Scary Movie 6’ Brought Back Anna Faris And Regina Hall

The latest “Scary Movie” sequel marked a major homecoming for the franchise. The sixth installment was written and produced by the Wayans brothers and welcomed back original stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall.
Faris reprised her role as Cindy Campbell after spending years away from major theatrical releases. Before receiving the opportunity to return, the actress believed that her Hollywood career might be winding down. “I had been coming around to the idea of Hollywood sort of putting me out to pasture,” Faris admitted to Entertainment Weekly. “And that was OK.”
The sequel gave Faris her first major theatrical project since the 2022 dramedy “The Estate,” which featured an ensemble cast. Her last leading role in a major theatrical release had been the 2018 remake of “Overboard.” The film received poor reviews, and Faris subsequently focused much of her work on television and voice acting. She provided voice work for “The Simpsons” and starred in the CBS sitcom “Mom” before leaving the series in 2020.
The Horror Parody Became A Box Office Hit

“Scary Movie 6” proved there was still a sizable audience for the horror-comedy franchise. After arriving in theaters in June, the sequel grossed $230 million. Its success followed a lengthy absence for the parody series and demonstrated the continued appeal of original characters like Faris’ Cindy and Hall’s Brenda.
Ghostface’s OF account gives the studio a provocative way to promote the movie without simply releasing another traditional trailer. Electra’s involvement also creates a direct connection to the original “Scary Movie,” which featured her in its memorable opening sequence.
The Original ‘Scream’ Franchise Is Also Moving Forward

The franchise that inspired “Scary Movie” is enjoying its own theatrical success. “Scream 7” arrived in February and grossed $214 million, making it the highest-grossing installment in the slasher series.
The sequel featured the return of Neve Campbell, who had skipped the sixth “Scream” film following a pay dispute. Despite its financial success, “Scream 7” also received the franchise’s weakest critical reception. The film earned a 30% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the worst-reviewed “Scream” installment to date.
An eighth movie is reportedly already in development. Campbell is expected to return, although her involvement has not been officially confirmed.

Jania Meshell Seemingly Addresses DeJounte Murray
This week, a video circulating on social media showed Jania Meshell becoming emotional while speaking about the father of her children. Although she never explicitly mentioned DeJounte Murray by name, fans quickly connected the dots after she revealed that he allegedly blocked her following Thursday’s announcement that they’re expecting their second child together. The emotional clip quickly gained traction online as Jania struggled to make sense of the situation.
During the video, Jania admitted she was still processing everything while expressing that her feelings hadn’t changed. “I can’t help who I love. I love him,” she said before explaining that, despite everything they had been through, she never asked him to follow her on social media. According to Jania, the two eventually followed each other again, but she later realized she had been blocked.
Jania Shares How The Situation Affected Her
Although she appeared heartbroken, Jania said she’s trying to accept the situation for what it is. She admitted that being blocked did sting, saying, “Did it hurt my feelings? Yes, a little bit, it did. But I can do nothing about it.” Despite the setback, Jania didn’t speak negatively about Murray and instead focused on being honest about how the situation made her feel.
Jania and DeJounte Murray have had an on-and-off relationship since 2020. The pair share a daughter, Icelynn Mercedes Murray, and recently announced they are expecting their second child together, making Jania’s emotional revelation all the more surprising to many fans. During the livestream, viewers actively chimed in with questions and reactions as Jania spoke. One commenter asked, “Why did DJ block you?” while another wrote, “He’s not supposed to block you no matter what—you’re his girl,” echoing the confusion many viewers appeared to have about the situation.
Social Media Shares Mixed Reactions
Following the emotional clip, folks quickly flooded Live Bitez’s Instagram comment section to share their thoughts on the situation. Some commenters claimed Jania was the problem, while others encouraged her to focus on loving herself before pouring so much into someone else. Meanwhile, a few people speculated that DeJounte may have blocked her because he was embarrassed by the public attention or was simply trying to humble her.
One Instagram user @3gyptian_godd3ss89 said, “Jania, baby girl, I’m going to hold your hand when I say this 😂 you need to find yourself love ❤️ having another baby will not mend things”
This Instagram user @monet_reign added, “THIS GIRL DONE WENT FROM BET YOU CANT PULL ME TO BET YOU CANT BLOCK ME 😬😱🤣🤣🤣”
And, Instagram user @brennanbeasy wrote, “U actually can help who u love, who told yall that lie😂😂😂”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @oneeye_patch said, “Sis I no it hurts but hold your head and move on. God is good god❤️🙏🏾”
While Instagram user @michellerenee664 claimed, “Maybe because you run to the internet about everything..I would block yo a** too”
Instagram user @c52622 shared, “He don’t like what you doing on the Internet so he blocks you? He hasn’t left you. He just doesn’t want to see behavior he doesn’t agree with.”
Finally, Instagram user @skylaawaterr commented, “He did this too humble her”

Brandi Glanville Calls Sons ‘Boring’ For Lack Of Drug Use
Brandi Glanville has a bizarre definition of what “boring” means!
The reality star devised a rather intriguing way to criticize her kids’ lack of passion for trying out some questionable substances like c-caine or alcohol, but this does not mean she is not proud of them for living healthily.
Brandi Glanville welcomed two sons with her ex Eddie Cibrian in 2003 and 2007, respectively, before they finally separated two years later in 2009 and have continued to co-parent their kids amicably.

During last Saturday’s episode of her “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast, the reality star revealed that she previously had episodes of drug usage in her past life.
However, the rise of fentanyl ultimately quenched her thirst for cocaine, as she joked with co-host James Maas about getting drug testing strips to check cocaine for fentanyl because of her kids.
“Luckily my kids don’t do cocaine because they’re boring,” the reality star added, adding that she preferred that they lived like that, as they do not even explore alcohol or have fun in the extreme ways most people choose.
She continued that while she enjoys their resolve, she would still like them to be more outgoing and social, all while avoiding the tempting allure of hard substances.
The reality star’s confessional did capture loads of attention and comments from viewers across all age groups who have followed her life on television and heard some of her wild stories. Several unforgiving replies like a netizen asking:
“Why are people calling her for a podcast or interview? She is so nasty for promoting cocaine. She deserved everything that happened to herself.”
However, another user seemed more understanding of her humor and perspective, stating that she existed in Glanville’s 90s era where drugs and drinks were the norm compared to now, where good grades have taken over among kids.
“#RHOBH Lmfaooo. Brandi has been on reality TV since S2 in 2011. I can’t believe fans don’t get her sarcastic humor by now and take everything so f-cking literally,” this X user added.
This critic compared her parenting skills to her ex, Cibrian, stating that while he might have been a bad husband, he does a better job at raising kids than the reality star.
Brandi Glanville’s Is Operating A No-Stress Co-Parenting Situation With Her Ex-Husband

The media personality and her ex-husband, who fathered her two children, have continued to carry on parenting with love and mutual respect. PEOPLE shared that Glanville linked up with Cibrian and his wife, LeAnn Rimes, for Christmas in 2024 as a testament to their enduring bond.
She raved about her adoration for her children and how it has necessitated being at peace with everyone, ensuring they all have a great time with the kids.
The trio also got together to celebrate Glanville and Cibrian’s son, Mason’s 18th birthday in 2021. When the reality star’s second child, Jake, graduated from high school in 2025, the family showed up as a united front to support Jake.
The former couple’s first child has also picked up an interest in the entertainment industry, signing to DT Model Management for an exclusive modeling deal in 2022, debuting in 2023 for Ben Sherman’s sports campaign.
As for his baby brother Jake, he basks in the stillness of a life away from the camera and would often give proof of his existence via occasional posts on social media.
The Bravo Alum Addressed The Painful Chapter Of Eddie Cibrian’s Affair

Before their marriage hit the rocks in 2009, Glanville recalled sensing that something beyond friendship was brewing between Rimes and Cibrian, and he dismissed her concerns every time she brought it to his attention.
As shared by The Blast, she continued that her ex would refer to her as jealous whenever she had doubts, and that matter would get swept under the carpet.
When the truth finally got revealed, Glanville could not stop the heartbreak, as she could not get past noticing her ex and Rimes were attracted to each other when she stopped by the 2009 “Northern Lights” set.
Despite confronting her ex over a clip of him and Rimes kissing and sucking on each other’s fingers, Cibrian tried to convince her it was not real and even suggested they go in for counseling.
Rimes and Cibrian eventually tied the knot in 2011 and recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary in April, constantly raving about how their relationship is better than it has ever been.
Why Brandi Glanville Tried To Be A Virgin Again

The mother-of-two navigated her nasty divorce from Cibrian by making a very expensive decision to get her v-ginal rejuvenation surgery in 2009, with Dr. David Matlock at the wheel.
While there are non-surgical means to achieve a revamp these days, Glanville noted that she went in for the actual surgery in a bid to finally get rid of her ex’s intimate memories of physical touch on her.
She recalled her ex making a lewd comment about her private part after she pushed out her two children, declaring that it had become different than before. Glanville detailed that the procedure cost nearly $12,000, but it was worth every penny spent.
“A brand new v-gina would be an Eddie-free v-gina. I understand that, to many of you, this may seem like an extreme measure to cut someone out of your life. But I’ve always been an extreme kind of girl, with extreme emotions,” she said.
The reality star added that she also made her ex-husband pay for the surgery, and when he saw the bill, he was beyond shocked at just how much it cost, but it felt good to have him do that.
