Greg Berlanti to Make Film with Channing Tatum
There's a lot of big news happening around Apple's much-hyped outer space movie Project Artemis. While the film was set to star Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, and be directed by Jason Bateman, things have changed and now it will star Channing Tatum opposite Johansson, and will be directed by Love, Simon helmer Greg Berlanti. With most of Berlanti's projects (Riverdale, The Flight Attendant, Doom Patrol, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl) featuring queer characters, we might finally get to see Tatum play gay!
Jonathan Bennett Stars in New Hallmark Movie
Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett has his next romantic lead role lined up. The hunky actor is starring oppisode Brooke D'Orsay (Grace and Frankie) in Wedding of a Lifetime. In the movie Bennett and D'Orsay play an engaged couple who have been together since high school and find themselves in a rut. When they're about to break up, they find themselves entered in a "romantic relationship competition" where the prize is a televised all-expenses-paid "wedding of a lifetime," and decide to give their relationship one more try, even if it's just for TV.
Miss Lawrence Joins Exorcism Film ‘The Deliverance’
Bros star Miss Lawrence - along with Omar Epps, Demi Singleton, and Anthony B. Jenkins - has joined the cast of Lee Daniels' upcoming Netflix film The Deliverance. Formerly titled Demon House, The Deliverance follows a mother fighting for "her life, her faith, and the souls of her children after discovering their new home is haunted by a demonic presence."
Queer Couple Leaves ‘Sex Education’
Tanya Reynolds, who plays Lily, and Patricia Allison, who plays her girlfriend Ola on Sex Education, have both announced that they are leaving the cast ahead of the show's fourth season. "I'm not [returning], actually, which is sad, very sad," Reynolds told the UK's Radio Times. "It's just the natural progression of these shows - when you have such big ensemble casts and so many characters, I think you have to let a few older characters go to make way for newer ones, which is absolutely the right thing, the way it should happen."
