Exclusive: Level 33 Entertainment has taken domestic on H.P. Mendoza’s The Secret Art of Human Flight, which made its world premiere at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival. A July theatrical release has been set followed by a debut on digital platforms.
Pic written by Jesse Orenshein centers around a children’s book author, Ben Grady (Grant Rosenmeyer), who mourning the loss of his wife stumbles upon a self-help manifesto written by an eccentric guru calling himself “Mealworm” that promises to unlock the power to fly.

“Everybody said it’ll change your life when you have a grandchild, and it does,” Perlman said on the Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfous podcast.
“There’s a certain love, I mean I felt it when my own children were born, the kind of love I never felt before for anything … But this was a profound kind of feeling, and here it is again.

Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger has shared a photo on his Instagram posing with his ‘Twins’ co-star Danny DeVito, 79, and DeVito’s daughter Lucy DeVito, 40, on the set of their Broadway play ‘I Need That’.
“My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in ‘I Need That’,” Schwarzenegger wrote in a caption to the photo, reports People magazine.
Arnold further mentioned: “He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.”
Schwarzenegger and DeVito famously co-starred in 1988’s ‘Twins’, a buddy comedy that centred around the pair as genetically engineered fraternal twins separated at birth.
The movie grossed $111 million at the domestic box office upon its release and was the fifth highest-grossing film released that year, per Box Office Mojo.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito had a Twins reunion when Schwarzenegger attended DeVito’s Broadway play I Need That.
Schwarzenegger shared a photo with DeVito and daughter Lucy DeVito on social media Friday.
“My brother!” Schwarzenegger wrote in the caption. “It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in I Need That. He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute — one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.”
Twins starred Schwarzenegger and DeVito as genetically engineered siblings who don’t meet until adulthood, then undertake a road trip.
The two were attached to a Twins sequel titled Triplets (in which the brothers would discover they’re actually triplets), but the project was scuttled when Twins director Ivan Reitman died in 2022.
Earlier this year, DeVito shot down a Twins reunion in an interview with GQ.

In a recent interview with GQ, Danny DeVito discussed the possibility of reuniting with his “Twins” co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger on a project.
DeVito shared that he and Schwarzenegger want to work together again, but this new project would be separate from “Twins,” the 1988 comedy where the two portrayed fraternal twin brothers separated at birth.
“We missed ‘Twins 2,’ because he became governor — which, he should have done ‘Twins 2’ instead of becoming governor,” DeVito quipped. “Now we have a little thing going, a little project that we’ve been chatting about.”
Schwarzenegger served as the 38th governor of Calif. from 2003 to 2011. When asked if “Twins” was related to this new project, DeVito replied, “No, it’s just two friends, two guys, because we have a good time together. We complement each other in a lot of ways. I am way stronger than he is.”

Is one man’s trash really another man’s treasure? That’s the ultimately undramatic question that undergirds Theresa Rebeck’s new play, I Need That, about a hoarder who can’t let go of piles of decades-old magazines, stacks of old suitcases, and more. Which is to say, he can’t let go of the past. Written for comedy legend Danny DeVito and his daughter, Lucy DeVito, I Need That is a vehicle built for two that mostly just spins its wheels.
While his collections of odds and ends do seem, at the very least, like a tripping hazard, the lonely Sam (Danny DeVito) does appear to have genuine meaningful stories about most of the items he’s saved—when he can find them within the mess, that is. Once we discover, early on, that all the books clumped beneath the window and the clothes covering the couch belonged to his late wife,...

Broadway box office held fairly steady heading into trick or treat season, with receipts for the week ending Oct. 29 at $26,480,578 (about 6% down from the previous week) and attendance at 218,581 (a slip of just 3%).
Staying strong was Merrily We Roll Along, enjoying another sell-out week, with the roster’s top average ticket price of $238.20 pushing the weekly gross to a new Hudson Theatre house record of $1,840,835.
Notable too was I Need That, the new Theresa Rebeck comedy starring Danny DeVito and daughter Lucy DeVito. At 94% of capacity at American Airlines Theatre, the non-profit Roundabout Theatre Co. production grossed $608,910 for seven previews. Opening night is Nov. 2.
Non-prof, subscriber-based Manhattan Theatre Club’s Jaja’s African Hair Braiding filled 99% of seats at the Friedman, grossing $351,235 with an average ticket of $68.95.

Preview performances for Broadway’s I Need That starring Danny DeVito begin tonight, and already the limited engagement has been extended by a week.
Roundabout Theatre Company said the extension through December 30 was due to popular demand. The play officially opens at the American Airlines Theatre on November 2.
Written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, I Need That also features DeVito’s daughter Lucy DeVito and Ray Anthony Thomas.
The synopsis: Sam (Danny DeVito) doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things – his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.

The gang on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" are a pretty tight-knit group with a long, complicated family history. At some point or another, most of the gang have claimed Frank (Danny DeVito) as their father, and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Dennis (Glenn Howerton) as twins. The cast have their own family connections too, as Olson is married to series creator and the man who plays Mac, Rob McElhenney, and the other guys have each had their spouses on the show! Charlie Day, who plays Charlie, is married to The Waitress (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), while Howerton's wife Jill Latiano made an appearance in season 5 and DeVito's wife Rhea Pearlman finally had a cameo in season 16. It's truly a family affair on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and in the latest season, another member of the extended "Sunny" family made his first appearance.

"That's so shallow. I love this for you." Universal has revealed an official trailer for a direct-to-vod sex comedy called The List, which looks as cheesy and cliche as you might expect from that title. It's written by two men, because of course it is, though it's directed by Melissa Miller Costanzo. After her fiance sleeps with a celebrity on his "free pass" list, Abby, with nothing but five names and the fantasies shared by millions, sets out for Los Angeles to sleep with someone from hers. Just as she starts to get close to living the ultimate dream in La La Land, things become complicated when Abby meets Jake, a waiter with big dreams of his own, who offers a fresh perspective. Starring Halston Sage as Abby, Christian Navarro, Lucy DeVito, Clark Backo, and Chrissie Fit, plus the hot guys: Rich Morrow as Mac West, Gregg Sulkin as Cooper,...

The TV academy has honored voice-only performances since 1992, when six cast members from “The Simpsons” collectively became the first actors to receive Emmys for such work. The Best Voice-Over Performance category became an official non-juried one in 2009 and was then split into two categories in 2014: Best Character Voice-Over and Best Narrator. Harry Shearer (“The Simpsons”) was the former category’s first champion, having been nominated once before for the same series.
The 2023 Best Character Voice-Over ballot consists of 148 performances, which is down by 74 from last year. Seeking her third victory is Maya Rudolph, who plays Connie the Hormone Monstress on “Big Mouth.” Also in the mix are former winners Shearer, Hank Azaria (“The Simpsons”), Alex Borstein (“Family Guy”), and Seth MacFarlane (“Family Guy”).
Unlike the live action and fictional program nominees, which are chosen by all 20,000 plus academy members, the Best Character Voice-Over contenders are picked only by voters...

When we meet Ben Grady (Grant Rosenmeyer), he can barely lift himself out of the living room chair. By the end of this lo-fi indie drama, he’s soaring among the clouds like some kind of schlubby superhero — or one of those kids from “Chronicle” — having mastered what “The Secret Art of Human Flight” calls … well, you heard the title. Maybe not “mastered” exactly, but Ben’s finally getting the hang of it, and that’s exhilarating, since flying couldn’t be farther from the state we found him in earlier, wallowing in melancholy after the unexpected death of his wife Sarah (Reina Hardesty).
As presented by director H.P. Mendoza, Ben and Sarah were practically the cutest couple you could imagine. They published children’s books together and made video diaries for their followers on TikTok, which Ben insisted they turn into a kind of insurance policy so that each...

The cast includes Paul Raci, Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 2021 for his starring role in “Sound of Metal,” and he’s joined by cast members including Grant Rosenmeyer, Lucy DeVito, Nican Robinson, Reina Hardesty, Maggie Grace, and Sendhil Ramamurthy.

Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber will return to Broadway this winter in a revival of John Patrick Stanley’s play Doubt: A Parable.
The play, directed by Scott Ellis, is scheduled to begin performances in February 2024 at the American Airlines Theatre. Exact dates and additional castmembers will be announced at a later date.
This is the first Broadway revival of Stanley’s 2004 play, which was adapted into the 2008 film starring Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The story follows Sister Aloysius (Daly), a principal of an all-boys Catholic school in the Bronx, who suspects a relationship between Father Flynn (Schreiber) and a student. Aloysius must then figure out how to verify whether something has occurred, whether to confront either party about it and how she can reconcile that with her religious beliefs.

Of all the many villains in Gotham City's menacing menagerie, the Penguin is one of the strangest. The character of Oswald Cobblepot, the stout and menacing crime lord with a penchant for penguins, has been portrayed by a handful of actors, including Burgess Meredith ("Batman" '66), Robin Lord Taylor ("Gotham"), and Wayne Knight ("Harley Quinn"), but the two most people think of as the Dark Knight villain are Danny DeVito and Colin Farrell. DeVito played the Penguin in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" in 1992 and Farrell played the character in Matt Reeves's "The Batman" in 2022. With 30 years between the characters and two very different takes, it's really tough to tell which Penguin was truly the greatest.
In a Vanity Fair polygraph interview with his daughter, Lucy DeVito, to promote their animated series "Little Demon," Danny DeVito was asked which Penguin performance he thought was better, between him and Collin Farrell.

Ana de Armas had zero difficulty finding streams of research to play Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. But learning what drove Norma Jean, the delicate and insecure woman behind the public persona, was an entirely different challenge.
“It was important to find the emotional truth in this character,” she said Saturday at Deadline’s The Contenders Film: Los Angeles. “One of the biggest themes in this movie is the private and public self. Norma Jean was completely unseen. I wanted to capture the essence of that woman, to find the human underneath. It was a long process studying her and her films, to understand what she was feeling at all times, always thinking that Norma for the most part never thought she could live up to Marilyn. What people thought of her was not at all what she felt like.”

The series: "Little Demon"
Where you can stream it: Hulu
The pitch: Thirteen or so years ago, partying pagan Laura (voiced by Aubrey Plaza) hooked up with the prince of darkness himself, Satan (voiced by Danny DeVito). Nine months later she gave birth to the Antichrist, and named her Chrissy. Now Chrissy (voiced by Lucy DeVito) has hit her teen years, and despite Laura's attempts to keep her safe from her dear old dad, Satan has re-entered the picture. He wants a chance to be a part of Chrissy's life, and while Laura doesn't trust him, she wants to try and give Chrissy a bit more freedom after years on the run.
"Little Demon" starts out as a goofy animated comedy about a teenager discovering that she's the Antichrist, but soon develops into a story about dysfunctional families and how we hurt the people we love the most.

There are lots of embarrassing times ahead for Chrissy in the first season of the Little Demon TV show on Fxx. As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Little Demon is cancelled or renewed for season two.

The Netflix film “Blonde” has received its first reviews, and critics are celebrating Ana de Armas’ commitment to the role while questioning the techniques of the film itself.
Directed by Andrew Dominik and rated Nc-17, the film adapts Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name. Alongside de Armas, cast members include Bobby Cannavale, Adrien Brody, Garret Dillahunt, Julianne Nicholson, Sara Paxton, Lucy DeVito and Scoot McNairy.
Some critics appreciate the different approach to the biopic of the woman born Norma Jeane Mortenson. Others find the mostly black and white film devoid of any resonance as to the bigger picture of who Marilyn Monroe actually was as a person.

Blonde director Andrew Dominik and his star Ana De Armas very much felt the presence of Marilyn Monroe while making the long-awaited biopic that has its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival tonight.
Dominik told the Lido press corps this afternoon, “We were kind of chasing her ghost around… Her dust is everywhere in Los Angeles.”

Said De Armas, “I truly believe that she was very close to us, she was with us… She was all I thought about, she was all I dreamed about, she was all I could talk about. She was with me and it was beautiful. I think she was happy… Being in the same places that she was, filming in her house, it was a very strong sensation there was something in the air and I think she was approving of what we were doing.”

There has been a lot of hype built around the upcoming film, Blonde, which is to be a look into the tragic life of actress Marilyn Monroe. From the casting decision of Ana De Armas – who has shown to be a really good doppelganger, but some are struggling with hints of her accent still peeking through – to the Nc-17 rating the film has received from the MPAA, many are curious about the film for numerous reasons.
Recently, Armas sat down with L’Officiel to discuss how the Nc-17 rating shouldn’t be a stigma. Despite the film being available online for streaming, the rare rating usually indicates that no one under 17 years old is not allowed in any fashion to view the movie in the theater, as opposed to an R rating where viewers under 17 can still attend with an adult present. Usually, such a rating is given if there is explicit sexual content presented.

Fans often attempt to compare different versions of comic book characters on the big screen as portrayed by different actors. Recently, Danny Devito weighed in on who played the superior version of Batman villain, The Penguin. DeVito was hooked up to a lie detector for Vanity Fair with his daughter Lucy DeVito asking him various questions to seek truthful answers.
In that process, the actor revealed he believes his incarnation of the Penguin from “Batman Returns” is “better than” Colin Farrell’s version from “The Batman.”

Danny DeVito dropped a brrrr-utally honest take on Colin Farrell's Penguin performance. When Vanity Fair hooked DeVito up to a lie detector and had his own daughter Lucy DeVito ask him some very pointed questions about the Batman cinematic universe, the legendary actor, who played Penguin in 1992's Batman Returns, couldn't help but speak his truth! "What about this Penguin?" Lucy asked, while sliding over a photo of Farrell, who played Penguin in 2022's The Batman. "I love Colin. He's a terrific guy," Danny said. "My Penguin was better." Danny then chuckled and asked the test administrator, "Was I telling the truth?," to which she responded,...

Executive produced by Rick and Morty and Community‘s Dan Harmon, the new Fxx animated comedy series Little Demon blends elements of Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, Dogma and Family Guy into an engaging and hilarious stew of sacrilegious silliness. The story chronicles the relationship between Satan (Danny DeVito), the Earthly woman he impregnated, single mother Laura (Aubrey Plaza), and their 13-year-old Antichrist daughter Chrissy. As one can imagine with a family this non-traditional, chaos reigns…as does the non-stop threats posed by demons and Old Scratch himself, who yearns to possess his spawn’s soul.
The show itself is among the year’s most engaging animated efforts, buoyed by its stellar voice acting.

In the premiere of Fxx’s animated comedy Little Demon, Chrissy Feinberg (Lucy DeVito) discovers she’s the spawn of Satan. Literally: Her human mom, Laura (Aubrey Plaza), fucked the Devil (Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito’s real-life dad) 13 years ago, and Chrissy was the result. Now her dad’s finally tracked them down, and as Chrissy warily lets him into her life, she finds herself increasingly torn between the ordinary teen girl life she thought she wanted and the apocalyptic dreams her father’s offering her — all the while trying to figure out who she really is as her own person.
It’s a tension echoed, with some corresponding awkwardness, in the show itself. In the first three half-hour episodes sent to critics, Little Demon can be wobbly in balancing its impish sense of humor and squishy sense of heart, its otherworldly shenanigans and its more grounded emotions.

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then good intentions are also sending “Little Demon” to TV’s fiery pit of no return. Over its first three episodes, the adult animated sitcom created and written by Darcy Fowler, Seth Kirschner, and Kieran Valla is high on crude jokes — with nudity, bloodshed, and cringe comedy aplenty — but low on ingenuity, taking a novel premise and steering it toward conventionality. In a crowded landscape of TV-ma animation (unless you’re working for HBO Max), simply talking the filthy talk isn’t enough, and the DeVito family’s fictional foray into hell needs more pep in its step if it’s going to avoid damnation.

To get the easy joke out of the way quickly, Fxx’s upcoming adult animated series “Little Demon” gives new meaning to the phrase “the ex from Hell.” In fact, “Little Demon” is a very to-the-point title, as the series revolves around the aftermath of 13-year-old Chrissy (voiced by Lucy DeVito) — an otherwise unremarkable seventh-grade girl, with no friends other than her single mother — finding out that she just so happens to be the Antichrist and more remarkable than she could ever imagine. More importantly, she learns that her mother, Laura (Aubrey Plaza), has lied to her whole life, and that the father she’s always believed to be dead is actually Satan (Danny DeVito) himself. And now he wants to be a part of her life. The series follows Chrissy’s new normal, caught in the middle of a custody battle that is also ultimately a battle for her soul.

Fxx is gearing up for a father-daughter tale like no other with the arrival of its new animated series Little Demon. Set 13 years after reluctant mother Laura (Aubrey Plaza) was impregnated by Satan (Danny DeVito), she and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy (Lucy DeVito) attempt to lead an ordinary existence in Delaware. But their lives are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan who hopes to secure custody of his daughter’s soul. (Credit: Meaghan Darwish/TV Insider) “We are playing father and daughter, but in a very fantastical world,” Lucy DeVito says of the dynamic with her real-life dad Danny DeVito. TV Insider caught up with the duo while attending the Disney Upfronts in May where they spilled some exciting details. “It’s a crazy comedy with mythical creatures in different realms, but it’s rooted in core relationships between families,” Lucy adds.

Growing up is never easy. It's been especially tricky for 13-year-old Chrissy (Lucy DeVito). She's never been able to put down roots and establish friends, as she's constantly on the move from place to place. Chrissy has never met her father who died when she was young, and her mom, Laura (Aubrey Plaza), has them jumping from one remote locale to the other. On her first day at yet another new school, Chrissy is feeling optimistic, having struck up a conversation, and friendship, with a sweet young boy named Bennigan (Eugene Cordero). If only Chrissy could stay long enough in her new surroundings, things might finally calm down.
The only problem for Chrissy is that this is "Little Demon," a fantastic and utterly bonkers show that never stops raising the stakes and the feeling of bloody, cacophonic delirium. Within moments of the first episode, Chrissy is bullied by some boys in the bathroom,...

No show that chronicles life as the devil’s spawn should be G-rated, amiright? That’s one of the unique characteristics of Little Demon, FX’s upcoming animated show about a mother named Laura (voiced by Aubrey Plaza) whose antichrist daughter Chrissy (Lucy DeVito) is quite literally the daughter of Satan (Danny DeVito).
Among other shenanigans, the comedy from creators Darcy Fowler, Seth Kirschner and Kieran Valla drops some potty language and shows Laura nude — with no pixillation.
“We are going to keep going for it, until we are told no,” Kirschner told reporters today during FX’s Television Critics Tour panel. “We cut a bunch of stuff out, oddly enough.”
“It’s not something to be pixillated,” adds Fowler. “What’s exciting about it, what it says about the character of Laura is that she’s a total badass. She’s Sarah Connor meets Emma Peel meets John Wick.
