The made-for-tv movie was a programming staple for the broadcast networks in the 1970s and 1980s. While it fell out of favor in the 1990s and was even dropped as an Emmy Awards category for three years beginning in 2011, it has been on an upswing as of late. This year, a whopping 61 telefilms are in contention for the five nominations that will be revealed on July 12. Last year, there were only 48 options, compared to 41 in 2021 and 28 in 2020.
All 20,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 26 to cast their 2023 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for their favorite TV movies. A new rule change will require each voter to make no more than five selections in this category, whereas there was previously no limit. As opposed to the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.

Three months from now, the Weeknd might just have an Emmy to place alongside his four Grammys and his Oscar nomination.
That’s because he joins a dozen other music superstars — including Dolly Parton, Common, Ryan Tedder, “Weird Al” Yankovic and Meshell Ndegeocello — who have entered work in this year’s Emmy competition.
Voting began yesterday in the seven music categories. Approximately 550 members of the Academy’s music branch will cast ballots, although viewing the hundreds of entries before voting ends on June 26 is an impossible task, Academy officials privately concede.
The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, is among the 19 entries in the Music Direction category. He submitted “The Weeknd Live at Sofi Stadium,” an HBO special that aired in February. If nominated, he’s likely to be up against such past winners as Adam Blackstone and Rickey Minor (“The Oscars”).

Just days after it premiered on May 29, 2023, “Reality” is now predicted to receive a top Emmy nomination for Best TV Movie. In the 82-minute telefilm, former two-time Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney (“Euphoria” and “The White Lotus”) portrays Reality Winner, the American intelligence specialist who, in 2017 at the age of 25, was arrested for allegedly leaking a report about potential Russian interference in the 2016 election to the media.
“Reality” made its initial debut at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year to great fanfare. It’s based on the play “Is This A Room” by Tina Satter, who now co-writes (with James Paul Dallas) and directs the movie. Co-stars include Josh Hamilton as Agent Garrick and Marchánt Davis.

“Hocus Pocus 3” is casting its spell.
Following Sunday’s announcement that the Disney+ sequel from last fall is now getting a sequel of its own, TheWrap has learned that film’s director Anne Fletcher and writer Jen D’Angelo will be returning to the witchy franchise.
The news of a new “Hocus Pocus” sequel, after last year’s surprisingly enjoyable follow-up to the 1993 Disney classic, came during a profile of Walt Disney Studios president Sean Bailey in The New York Times. Bailey confirmed that there was another film in development — although, at the time, not much else was known.
It’s currently unclear, for instance, if original stars Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker will be back for “Hocus Pocus 3,” or if other actors from the first film who skipped “Hocus Pocus 2” will return for the new movie. Another looming question: whether the new movie will go straight...

"When you wish upon a star . . ." It's one of the most famous lyrics in the Disney canon, coming from the company's 1940 film "Pinocchio." It's also part of the inspiration for the new Disney animated feature musical "Wish," which releases this fall. Disney first announced the project at D23 Expo in September 2022, which Popsugar was on hand for; it stars Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose as Asha, an optimist living in the magical kingdom of Rosas.
"Wish" follows Asha as she tries to save her kingdom by - of course - making a wish. Per Disney, Asha's plea is literally answered by a little cosmic ball of energy called Star. The pair will work together to try to save the day. The new film has original songs by Julia Michaels, Benjamin Rice, and composer Dave Metzger and is directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn.

Get in line, because Cocaine Bear has made its way to Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital following a successful theatrical run. The “Maximum Rampage Edition” features several featurettes, including a fun audio commentary by director/producer Elizabeth Banks and producer (and Banks’ husband) Max Handelman.
Here are eight things I learned from the Cocaine Bear commentary…
1. The film opens with a Wet Hot American Summer reference.
Cocaine Bear opens to the tune of Jefferson Starship’s “Jane,” which many will recognize as the theme song to Wet Hot American Summer, the film in which Banks got her start. She explains:
“This song straight up is an homage to Wet Hot American Summer. Anybody who knows my work knows Wet Hot American Summer was technically my first movie as Elizabeth Banks. That’s my SAG card, got it on that movie. This is the opening song to Wet Hot American Summer, and I sent David Wain,...

More recently, Marsden starred as the kindhearted android Teddy Flood in "Westworld," and he also plays himself in "Jury Duty," albeit a more narcissistic version.

James Marsden is one of our favorite comedic actors, but fans might not know he's also a loving dad. James has three kids - Jack, Mary James, and William Luca - and he's very dedicated to the trio.
"Of all my achievements in life, being a father is the one thing I'm most proud of. It is the most fulfilling," he told Men's Health back in 2018. "I'm always self-deprecating, but I don't have a problem saying that I am a great dad."
He added that a big part of setting an example for his kids is showing that it's Ok to fail. "It takes seeing the hero mess up or fail at something to become a man," he explained. "That, to me, has become more important than being this superstar, movie star, or an actor. It's integrity and substance of character - it's like when sh*t happens to you in hard times,...

You know what’s cool? A billion dollars. Theater stocks jumped when Amazon pledged to spend that amount on movies destined for the big screen last year. Now Apple reportedly plans to take a similar chunk of its multibillion-dollar content budget and allocate it to theatrical releases.
Netflix alone, still steadfast in its commitment to treating theatrical as a sop to throw at feisty actors or fussy awards-show rulemakers, risks losing out on high-level talent and top-tier cultural impact — as well as the financial rewards from a film that moves the needle on streaming.
Two years after “Godzilla vs. Kong” proved the multiplex wouldn’t go down without a fight, an old-fashioned wide release now signals seriousness in the streaming wars. Executives at the major Hollywood studios have all pointed to strong box office as contributing to streaming views.

After months of murmuring, the latest A-list ensemble project from The Big Short and Don’t Look Up filmmaker Adam McKay has hit Hollywood.
Titled Average Height, Average Build, the project is being described as part serial killer thriller, part comedy, following a killer who uses political lobbyists to change laws in order to make it easier for him to kill, according to sources. Like all of McKay’s recent work, the project will tackle larger sociopolitical ills — à la the 2008 housing crisis (The Big Short) and climate crisis (Don’t Look Up) — this time taking on crime and corruption.
McKay wrote the script and would direct the feature that hit the inbox of studio heads this week. Actors already attached include Robert Pattinson, Amy Adams, Robert Downey Jr., Forest Whitaker and Danielle Deadwyler. The script calls for many more characters to be filled in.
The project has been percolating with McKay for quite some time,...

Ireland has been selected to host the Association of Film Commissioners International’s 46th annual Cineposium Conference, which will be held in Limerick in September. The event, being held in Ireland for the first time, brings together film commissions and industry leaders from around the world to discuss policy, economic development and film production.
The right to host the event was the result of a competitive bid process open to all Afci film commission members; it was won this year by Film in Limerick.
Thanks to its generous tax incentives, stunning scenery and experienced crews, Ireland has become an international hub of film production. Oscar-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin filmed there, and so did Disney’s Disenchanted, which transformed the village of Enniskerry and employed a 98% local crew. This year’s surprise hit Cocaine Bear also shot on the Emerald Isle, re-creating a U.S. national park in the Wicklow countryside.

15 years after Eli Roth's fake trailer "Thanksgiving" debuted as a part of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse," the slasher is finally coming to feature film fruition. The film is in talks to have Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey to star in an undisclosed role, but thanks to a recent report from Deadline, the "Disenchanted" star won't be alone for long. TikTok star and the leading lady of "He's All That," Addison Rae, has been tapped to join the cast in a leading role.
The original "Thanksgiving" trailer was shot like a throwback slasher about a killer who made his own carving board out of victims in a small New England town that celebrates the holiday with a little bit too much enthusiasm. There's no telling where Dempsey or Rae will fit into the fold, but considering she snagged a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, it's doubtful Rae's presence will be small.
