Will Forte is one of my favourite comic actors, but he may only have 19 years left to live. At least, that’s if you believe what a pissed-off spirit said through an Ouija board. While appearing on Rachel Dratch’s Woo Woo podcast, Forte flashed back to when he was a teenager and asked the Ouija board how he was going to die. The spirit answered that he was going to be stabbed to death at 73. Very specific.

The prediction happened when Forte was a teenager and had visited a girl he was interested in. The girl was friends with a “self-proclaimed witch” who brought over the Ouija board. “I would ask questions of this Ouija board that nobody else would know the answers to, and it would get the answers correct. And so I was pretty blown away,” Forte said. “I was thinking, like, is there a way that my hands are moving it because I know the answer? … I was trying not to push it all, but it was pretty nuts — like my grandma’s middle name, that kind of stuff.“

The witch had warned him that some spirits were “kind of aggressive and violent,” so they had to be careful. Forte promptly ignored the advice. “I would be putting the spirit down, trying to get him really angry. I’m sure I told him he had a small penis or something like that,” he said. “But, like, it really did get kind of kind of scary. I found out that I was going to die at at the age of 73 by stabbing. I’ve got 19 years left.“

Forte added that he doesn’t really believe it but admitted that from “time to time,” he starts to wonder if “when I’m 72, when I’m nearing the end, do I, like, start looking into Kevlar, full body Kevlar suits?“

I didn’t mess around with Ouija much when I was younger, but I recall one instance at a friend’s birthday party when we brought it out in the middle of the night. We were supposed to be asleep so we were being as quiet as possible, but then the board started shaking and moving across the floor by itself. We freaked out, and my friend’s parents came running in. Turns out there was a minor earthquake that night, but holy hell, try telling a bunch of seven year olds that.

Although Venom: The Last Dance opened somewhat lower at the box office than expected, the sequel has managed to stay on top for the last three weeks and recently crossed a major milestone. The film has sped past the $400 million mark with a $405.5 million worldwide take. That works out to $118.5 million domestically and $287 million internationally, with all three films generating a total of $1.7 billion.

The first Venom grossed $856.1 million during its theatrical run, while Venom: Let There Be Carnage grossed $506.8 million. At this rate, Venom: The Last Dance could overtake Let There Be Carnage but won’t come close to the first movie.

Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock/Venom alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham. The Last Dance finds Eddie and Venom on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.

Venom: The Last Dance featured Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, as the villain pulling the strings behind the scenes. Although he didn’t have much screen time, writer/director Kelly Marcel has teased that Knull is not a “one and done” villain. “We know full well how important Knull is to the fans, so just as we laid a foundation for Venom, we hope we are doing the same for Knull. The King in Black is way too powerful for ‘one and done,’” Marcel said. “This film introduces Knull, but it just touches the beginnings of his story. Marvel’s greatest film villains are developed over time. Here, Knull is the threat lurking behind the danger that tests the absolute limits of Eddie and Venom’s partnership — but it’s their relationship that remains the heart of this story… This is just the beginning for Knull.“

Our own Chris Bumbray found The Last Dance to be something of a mixed bag, although he says that it “finally kicks into high gear for the rather satisfying last half hour. Here, Venom: The Last Dance finally delivers the Venom film we’ve wanted from the start.” You can check out the rest of Bumbray’s review right here, and be sure to let us know what you think of the film as well.

Hugh Grant stars as a strange and dangerous villain in Heretic, A24’s new horror flick that debuted with $11 million last weekend. And at one point in the film he does an impression of Star Wars character Jar-Jar Binks and folks, it’s the worst impression of the hated alien I’ve ever heard.

Gladiator II will hit theaters next week, and if all goes well, it won’t be our final trip to the Colosseum. Director Ridley Scott has already said he’s working on Gladiator III, and Paul Mescal is ready to return for more.

“Oh yeah, massively down,” Mescal told Variety when asked if he’d want to appear in Gladiator III. “I don’t think it will be [24] years — but I have no idea when it will be.” Although the belated sequel has been receiving positive reviews, it will need to do some serious numbers at the box office to justify the $250 million budget (which some reports claim went as high as $310 million). In a separate interview with Variety, Mescal admits he’s feeling the pressure of headlining a film which needs to make at least $600 million to break even. “I do feel the pressure, and I do feel the desire for this to make money,” he said. “The box office needs a shot in the arm, and if films like ‘Gladiator II’ aren’t doing it, it would be concerning. So I do feel a responsibility.“

Our own Chris Bumbray recently reviewed Gladiator II, and while he admits that it isn’t the instant classic that the original was, “it’s nonetheless a highly entertaining, faithful sequel, jam-packed with action and spectacle. There hasn’t been a lavish, action-driven historical drama done on this scale in some time, with Scott, despite his advancing age, as energetic and kinetic a director as ever.” You can check out the rest of Bumbray’s review right here.

“From legendary director Ridley Scott, Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome,” reads the official Gladiator II synopsis. “Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.” The film will hit theaters on November 22nd.

Singer/songwriter Lady Gaga didn’t have anything to do with the first season of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday, but when video clips of Jenna Ortega’s “Goo Goo Muck” dance scene went viral, many fans replaced The Cramps’ song “Goo Goo Muck” with a sped-up version of Lady Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary.” So Wednesday and Lady Gaga have been connected for a while now – and that connection is going to be deepened with the now-in-production season 2, as Deadline reports that Lady Gaga has been added to the cast of the show! Details on the character she’ll be playing have not been revealed.

Wednesday comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore. Snap snap.

Jenna Ortega plays the title character and beyond Wednesday, other members of the Addams Family include Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Gomez and Morticia, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester. Uncle Fester has only appeared on one episode of Wednesday so far, but we recently heard that the character might be getting his own spin-off series. New additions to the cast for season 2 include Steve Buscemi (The Big Lebowski), Billie Piper (I Hate Suzie), Evie Templeton (Lord of Misrule), Owen Painter (Tiny Beautiful Things), Noah Taylor (Law & Order: Organized Crime), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous), Thandiwe Newton (Westworld), Frances O’Connor (The Missing), Haley Joel Osment (Tusk), Heather Matarazzo (Scream), and Joonas Suotamo (The Acolyte).

The cast of season 1 also included Christina Ricci as botanical sciences teacher Marilyn Thornhill; Riki Lindhome as Wednesday’s therapist Dr. Valerine Kinbot; Joy Sunday as Siren Nevermore student Bianca Barclay; Emma Myers as Wednesday’s sunny roommate Enid Sinclair; Hunter Doohan as townie Tyler Galpin; Moosa Mostafa as quirky Nevermore student Eugene Otinger; Georgie Farmer as awkward and shy Nevermore student Ajax Petropolus; Naomi J. Ogawa as vampire Nevermore student Yoko Tanaka; Percy Hynes White as supernaturally artistic Nevermore student Xavier Thorpe; Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, Tyler’s father, who has a vendetta against Gomez; Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems, “the principal of Nevermore Academy who still has an axe to grind with her former classmate Morticia Addams”; Victor Dorobantu as Thing, the non-verbal disembodied hand; George Burcea as Lurch; Tommie Earl Jenkins as Mayor Walker; Iman Marson as Lucas Walker; William Houston as Joseph Crackstone; Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Deputy Santiago; Oliver Watson as Kent; Calum Ross as Rowan; and Johnna Dias Watson as Divina. Some of them are returning for Wednesday season 2, some are not.

Tim Burton is directing half of season 2, which is the same thing he did for the first season. That means Burton is at the helm of four of the season’s eight episodes.

Lady Gaga’s previous acting credits include The Sopranos, Machete Kills, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, American Horror Story, A Star Is Born, House of Gucci, and Joker: Folie à Deux.

Tom Cruise might not be getting any younger, but the rumor about his Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell (Twisters, Hit Man, Hidden Figures) replacing him in Paramount’s Mission: Impossible franchise couldn’t be farther from the truth. Today, Powell is cutting the head off a rumor that would upset his mother. There are whispers about Powell replacing Tom Cruise as the star of the Mission: Impossible franchise after Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Still, Powell says there’s no validity to the rumor.

“My mom would never let me do that,” Powell told Pat McAfee of ESPN. “That’s a death trap,” Powell added, referring to executing the death-defying stunts that go hand-in-hand with the series. After hearing the rumor, McAfee called Powell to congratulate him, though it seems the Anyone But You star was in the middle of filming Edgar Wright’s remake of Stephen King’s The Running Man.

Glen Powell stars in The Running Man as a “desperate man, needing money for his sick daughter, who joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer that a contestant survives, the more money that person makes. But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.” Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame) is also set to star as the ruthless producer behind the violent reality show, alongside Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding) as one of the contestants and Lee Pace (Foundation) as the brutal chief hunter tracking down Powell’s character. Daniel Ezra (All American) and William H. Macy (Mystery Men) will also appear. Wright’s Scott Pilgrim star Michael Cera also stars as a “naïve rebel who tries to help the desperate man.” In contrast, Emilia Jones will play a “privileged woman blind to the oppression of the government opposite Powell’s Richards.”

Edgar Wright is directing The Running Man from a script he co-wrote with Michael Bacall. It’s based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, which was published in 1982 under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Wright has previously said that The Running Man remake will be closer to the original Stephen King novel than the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
