- Miles Teller has boarded new drama ‘Winter Games.’
- Paul Downs Colaizzo co-wrote and will direct the movie.
- It’s set at the Winter Olympics.
Movies set around the world of athletes, particularly those competing in the heady high levels of the Olympics, have always been a reliable audience-grabber, and the genre has been wide enough to encompass a whole range of categories, including the rom-com likes of ‘The Cutting Edge,’ the full-on comedy of ‘Blades of Glory’ and the noble true-story examples such as ‘Miracle’ and the more recent ‘The Boys in the Boat.’
“Believe in the impossible. Believe in each other.”

Paramount is clearly hoping to take advantage of this sort of movie, and is getting back in business with one of its reliable performers.
Miles Teller, who appeared in the company’s mammoth movie hit ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and led its small-screen Paramount+ streaming hit ‘The Offer,’ is now aboard to produce and star in a new sports-themed movie called ‘Winter Games.’
The new film, per Deadline, comes courtesy of director Paul Downs Colaizzo, who co-wrote the script and will call the shots.

What’s the story of ‘Winter Games’?

The movie is set in the high-stakes arena of the Winter Olympic Games, following a perpetually overlooked skier and a self-sabotaging hockey legend who collide at their breaking points. Their unexpected connection threatens her chance for a medal and his shot at a comeback as they navigate romance and redemption in the Olympic Village.
We don’t yet know who will star alongside Teller.
Colaizzo co-wrote the script with Pat Cunnane, who recently worked on the script for ‘Eternity,’ a new drama starring and produced by Teller (more on that below).
And it’s also a reunion for the actor and producers Tim and Trevor White, whose Star Thrower company helped shepherd ‘Eternity’ and will do the same for ‘Winter Games.’
What else is Miles Teller attached to?
Miles Teller plays Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ from Paramount Pictures, Skydance and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
Teller, whose past resume also includes the likes of ‘Whiplash,’ the 2011 version of ‘Footloose,’ ‘Spiderhead’ ‘Rabbit Hole,’ the less-than-loved 2015 take on ‘Fantastic Four’ and, most recently, Apple TV+ horror action thriller ‘The Gorge,’ is a busy, in-demand actor.
As mentioned above, he has ‘Eternity’ on the way, a new A24 movie directed by David Freyne that also stars Callum Turner, Elizabeth Olsen and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
It’s the story of how, after death, everybody gets one week to choose where to spend eternity. But for main characters Joan, Larry, and Luke, it’s really a question of who to spend it with.
While the movie doesn’t have a set release date in place yet, it’s already drawing potential awards buzz.
Then there is ‘Michael,’ the musical biopic of superstar Michael Jackson, in which Teller plays John Branca, Jackson’s manager, lawyer and close friend. The movie currently has an October release window from Lionsgate, though there has been chatter about legal issues surrounding the depiction of one of his accusers in a sexual abuse case, and the potential for the movie to be split in two so as to cover the full breadth of Jackson’s story.
Outside of those, there is animated tale ‘The Ark and the Aardvark,’ in which Teller voices Gilbert, the titular creature, who is given the task of shepherding the animals on to Noah’s Ark.
The actor is also attached to the long-developing third outing for the ‘Top Gun’ franchise, where he would reprise the role of Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, AKA the son of Anthony Edwards’ Goose from the 1986 original.
There are a number of other projects on his To Do list, including crime thriller ‘Wild Game,’ ‘Bartali,’ another sporting tale (where Teller would here play champion cyclist Gino Bartali, who put his career on hold to fight in World War II) and Martin Scorsese’s wishlist project ‘The Life of Jesus,’ which also has Andrew Garfield attached but has still yet to shoot.
Here’s what the legendary director told the L.A. Times about the movie:
“I’m trying to find a new way to make it more accessible and take away the negative onus of what has been associated with organized religion. Right now, ‘religion,’ you say that word and everyone is up in arms because it’s failed in so many ways. But that doesn’t mean necessarily that the initial impulse was wrong. Let’s get back. Let’s just think about it. You may reject it. But it might make a difference in how you live your life — even in rejecting it. Don’t dismiss it offhand. That’s all I’m talking about.”
When will ‘Winter Games’ be on screens?
Paramount has yet to give the movie a release date. But assuming it films this year (and given Teller’s busy schedule, there’s no certainty of that), it could be out next year.

‘Another Simple Favor’ receives 7 out of 10 stars.
Arriving globally on Prime Video on May 1st, ‘Another Simple Favor’ throws us back into the knotty dynamic of mommy vlogger-turned-crime sleuth Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and mysterious, murderous fashion plate Emily Nelson (Blake Lively).
This sequel to the 2018 murder mystery brought to screens by director Paul Feig, looks to amp up the mystery even further, throwing in new family members and some luxurious Italian island locations.

Will ‘Another Simple Favor’ ask too much of you?

On television, there’s a common trick of sitcoms and other shows usually anchored to one place to goose things up by taking the characters on holiday. ‘The Brady Bunch’ went to Hawaii. ‘Friends’ brought us “The One in Barbados” and the usually hospital-bound ‘Scrubs’ splashed out for a destination wedding in the Bahamas.
‘Another Simple Favor’ tries a similar trick, albeit in movie form (though it is premiering on Prime Video), moving its murder mystery machinations to the picturesque isle of Capri in Italy. But is it enough to elevate everything? That’s a more complicated question, one whose answer is both yes and no.
Script and Direction
Paul Feig attends the Amazon MGM Studios ‘Another Simple Favor’ New York Special Screening on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York City. Photo: Prime Video.
The sequel boasts the writing talents of Jessica Sharzer (who adapted ‘A Simple Favor’ from the novel by Darcey Bell and has written the likes of ‘Nerve,’ and episodes of ‘American Horror Story’) with Laeta Kalogridis –– more known for the dramatic ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Alita: Battle Angel’ –– taking a pass.
Together, they have concocted something that feels as though it has a similar energy to the original movie, while looking to heighten things to an even more absurd degree. Which is saying something, given that the 2018 effort had more turns than a corkscrew.
‘A Simple Favor’ effectively blended its mystery and comedy tones together, and while the follow-up attempts the same trick with some new complications, it mostly manages it, while sometimes tipping too far into ridiculousness.

Still, there are the requisite laughs to be found here, and enough twists to keep you guessing. Once the new main mystery is revealed, it does rather start to deflate, and there is some egregious sequel baiting towards the end.
Feig, returning as director, proves he can adeptly hop between genres, and being let loose in the beautiful island of Capri certainly allows him to up the visual interest of the movie. He also capably manages the new cast recruits while keeping the focus squarely where it should be: the winning, sometimes overly catty dynamic between Kendrick’s Stephanie and Lively’s Emily.
Cast and Performances

Lively might be the superstar here, but it’s Anna Kendrick who really keeps the movie grounded and funny. As Stephanie, who is awkwardly trying to enjoy her newfound fame following the events of the original film (and capitalize on them by writing a book about the case), Kendrick remains the comic powerhouse of the film, whether she’s effectively narrating the movie through her video channel or trading barbs with Lively’s Emily (or, er, Hope, as she should really be called.)
As for Lively, she’s back in full-on comic-inflected femme fatale mode, as she struts around in outrageous clothing and gets passive-aggressive with Kendrick’s character. She once more makes an impact, whether she’s plotting her next move or proving more of a friend to Stephanie than she might have suspected.
There’s also a healthy vein of vulnerability in both the leads, which makes the characters as relatable in the past, even as the screwball murder mystery is dialed up into ever more frenzied levels of complexity.
Around them, a collection of returning and new performers add extra layers to the story.

Henry Golding is able to let loose more as Sean, Emily’s ex-husband (who had a dalliance with Stephanie in the original), and here is a drunken, sarcastic mess, throwing endless shade at his ex.
Of the newcomers, the highlights are Alex Newell, who steals moments and scenes as Stephanie’s enthusiastic assistant/book tour manager Vicky and Elena Sofia Ricci as Portia Versano, the powerful, calculating mother of Emily’s new fiancé Dante (Michele Morrone), neither of whom show up on google searches, but are clearly very rich and powerful –– it won’t take you long to guess why.
Less present, but still entertaining are Detective Summervile (Bashir Salahuddin, returning from the original) and FBI agent Irene Walker (Taylor Ortega), who help drive the plot while not forgetting to bring the laughs.
The really nutritious additions to the cast are Allison Janney and Elizabeth Perkins, who consume whole sections of scenery playing Emily’s grasping aunt and drunken mother.
Final Thoughts

‘A Simple Favor’ sometimes coasted on the power of its stars and some fun plot turns, and ‘Another Simple Favor’ falls into a similar trap.
Still, the idyllic countryside helps it feel different enough, and though it can’t quite keep the momentum up towards the end, watching it is not too much of an ask.
What’s the plot of ‘Another Simple Favor’?
Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman.
Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.

Nicolas Cage stars in ‘The Surfer’.
Opening in theaters on May 2nd is the new psychological thriller ‘The Surfer’, which was directed by Lorcan Finnegan (‘Nocebo’) and stars Oscar winner Nicolas Cage (‘Leaving Las Vegas’) and Julian McMahon (‘Fantastic Four’).
Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with the legendary Nicolas Cage about his work on ‘The Surfer’, his first reaction to the screenplay, his approach to his complicated character, and working with director Lorcan Finnegan on set.

Moviefone: To begin with, can you talk about your first reaction to the screenplay and what were some of the aspects of this character that you were excited to explore on screen?
Nicolas Cage: The first response I had when I read the script was, I love the title, ‘The Surfer’. I just love the idea of playing a surfer, any surfer. But second, when I read the script, I thought, this is not like anything I’ve read before. This is weird. This is unusual. This is the kind of story I aspire to write. If I were a writer, I would want to write something like this. So, I knew then that it would be genuine and an honest expression from me, if I played the part. A mantra of mine is that if you scratched the surface of anybody, man or woman long enough, you would eventually reach the inner caveman element. You see the character being scratched, you see the onion layer is getting peeled off and what happens ultimately happens. Then the relevance of the human condition, that we think we can fix things with a house, or we think we can fix things by getting back to our childhood memory or trying to reclaim that memory. I can fix my relationship with my ex-wife, or I can fix my relationship with my teenage son if I just work hard enough and get this house and it’s of course, misguided and ill-advised and it doesn’t work. That’s a story I think people can relate to.

MF: Your character is basically having a mental breakdown throughout the movie. As an actor, is it physically or emotionally draining to go to those places on screen?
NC: Well, you know, what’s interesting is the short answer is no. It’s not emotionally and physically draining. I’ll tell you why, because I’m working with people I like, and I like this director as a person, and I like him as a filmmaker. I like Julian (McMahon) as a person. I like him as an actor, and it goes all the way down the line. I like being with these folks and I enjoyed the location, it was a gorgeous location. I mean, baby humpback whales were pounding the water with their big white flippers. So, I felt comfortable enough to explore what I wanted to get to. In terms of what was horrific and what was uncomfortable, it’s all up here. I mean, I have that tucked away in my mind and without boring you to as how I access it, I can get there. It’s easier to get there if you have people that you like working for.

MF: Finally, what did you like about working with Lorcan Finnegan and what is he like to collaborate with as a director on set?
NC: I mean it sounds so trite, but first, he’s a nice guy and that’s important. Second, and part of why I think he’s a singular director is that he’s hilarious. When I was doing the scene with the phone, and it’s not attached, the phone cord is dangling. I was like, “I need the prop phone.” Lorcan would find it and say, “It’s for you,” and he handed it to me. I couldn’t stop laughing. That kind of wit that kind of timing is in his work. It’s in his movies. So, he’s a director that like David Lynch is not afraid to take you right into the depths of chaos and horror yet infuse it with that which is comedic. I love that balance. That mix is delicious in my view. I love it.

According to the official synopsis, Wilde’s latest directorial effort is about a couple who invites the neighbors over, igniting an evening full of unexpected twists and turns, revealing deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality.
The story has its origins in 2020 Spanish film ‘Sentimental’ (AKA ‘The People Upstairs’), which was written and directed by Cesc Gay.
It has been adapted a variety of times before, including into 2022’s Italian version ‘Vicini di casa,’ 2023’s Swiss effort ‘The Neighbors from Upstairs,’ 2024 French remake ‘Maybe More’ and that same year, a Czech movie called ‘V dobrém i zlém.’
This latest script comes courtesy of Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, who have collaborated on the likes of ‘Celeste and Jesse Forever’ and contributed story material to ‘Toy Story 4.’

In addition to this latest project, Wilde also has other directorial gigs in development, including Universal Pictures’ Christmas comedy ‘Naughty’ and Warner Bros.’ ‘Avengelyne,’ a film adaptation of the ’90s comic book character, both of which boast the support of Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap production company.
There’s also a new, untitled comedy project she’s been writing with ‘Booksmart’ collaborator Katie Silbermab.
As an actor, she’ll next be seen in Gregg Araki’s comedy ‘I Want Your Sex’ opposite Cooper Hoffman and Charli XCX.
What else is Seth Rogen working on?
(L to R) Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogen in ‘The Studio,’ premiering March 26, 2025 on Apple TV+.
Rogen is enjoying success with his Apple TV+ Hollywood satire ‘The Studio,’ which he co-created, co-directs and stars in as a newly crowned studio head wrangling with the division between art and business in his job.
The show features an appearance by Wilde, playing a version of herself.
He was recently heard reprising the voice of Pumbaa in ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ and has the role of autocratic porcine in Andy Serkis’ animated ‘Animal Farm.’
Beyond that is Aziz Ansari’s ‘Good Fortune,’ new drama ‘The Wrong Girls,’ and a wealth of projects in development.
Where else can we see Penélope Cruz?

Cruz was last seen in Michael Mann’s motoring biopic ‘Ferrari, and has ‘Johnny’s Inferno’ in the works.
She’ll be seen in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Frankenstein take ‘The Bride,’ and is starring with Johnny Depp in ‘Day Drinker.’
What else has Edward Norton appeared in?

Norton was Oscar nominated for his role as Pete Seeger in Bob Dylan movie ‘A Complete Unknown’ and is lending his voice as narrator for new documentary ‘Fasting and the Longevity Revolution.’
And, as with many of his colleagues, there are a number of projects in development.
When will ‘The Invite’ accept an invitation to appear in theaters?
At this stage, the movie has yet to lock down a distributor, so we’re guessing a deal is forthcoming or the rights will be available at an upcoming film market.
Given the name cast, we doubt it’ll take too long for it to be snapped up.

Preview:
- Charles Melton and Sophie Thatcher have been cast in ‘Her Private Hell.’
- The movie marks Nicolas Winding Refn’s return to big screen work.
- Neon is backing the new movie.
If you’re a fan of Nicolas Winding Refn’s enigmatically stylistic take on thrillers, dramas and horror movies, you might have been waiting to see when he’d get back into the director’s chair for a new big screen project.

An edgy, hypnotic and unhinged thriller based on an original story that promises “lots of glitter, sex, and violence.” Read the Plot
The man behind ‘Drive,’ ‘Only God Forgives’ and ‘Pusher,’ has been busy working on TV series in the last few years, but thanks to a story in Deadline that reported Charles Melton nabbing a lead role, there was also a tweet from distributor Neon confirming he’s cooking up “something groovy” called ‘Her Private Hell,’ with Melton, Sophie Thatcher, Kristine Froseth and Havana Rose Liu in the cast.
What’s the story of ‘Her Private Hell’?

This being Refn, most of the pertinent details are still being kept quiet for now. But if we know anything about what the man whose last movie was ‘The Neon Demon’ is coming up with, we can expect something dangerous and stylish.
The Danish director recently said his next film would shoot in Tokyo, Japan and would involve “lots of glitter, sex, and violence”.
Which is not all that surprising, since he does love a story set overseas (see: ‘Only God Forgives,’ which dives into Bangkok’s criminal underworld).

What else has Nicolas Winding Refn worked on?
Elle Fanning stars in ‘The Neon Demon’. Photo: Amazon Studios.
As we mentioned, Refn last made theatrical release ‘The Neon Demon,’ and since then has been channeling his efforts into short films and TV series.
He wrote and directed fantasy/mystery short ‘Touch of Crude’ and last year brought us another short, ‘Beauty Is Not a Sin.’
There was also Prime Video’s 2019 miniseries ‘Too Old to Die Young,’ which starred Miles Teller as Detective Martin Jones, who leads a double life as a killer for hire in Los Angeles’ deadly underground. He suffers an existential crisis which leads him deeper into a blood splattered world of violence.
And in 2022, he was behind Netflix crime thriller series ‘Copenhagen Cowboy,’ which tracks Miu (Angela Bundalovic), who travels through Copenhagen’s criminal netherworld.
Perhaps more surprisingly, he was also the creator and executive producer on a new TV adaptation of Enid Blyton’s children’s book series ‘The Famous Five’ starting 2023.
It’s definitely not what we’d expect from Refn but he explained his reasoning for pursuing the project to Deadline:
“I didn’t read until I was 13 so TV was a big thing for me as an eight-year-old coming to the States. Scooby Doo had something that just magically transported me into this adventure land, so this feels like a very full circle that’s coming to completion. And I’m finally making something that my kids would actually watch. I’ve always liked the concept of not really wanting to be an adult; staying in ‘adventure land’ forever. ‘The Famous Five’ feels like one of the very few things that you literally hand down the generations.”
Where else can we see Charles Melton, Sophie Thatcher, Kristine Froseth and Havana Rose Liu?

Best known for his role as Reggie on the CW series ‘Riverdale,’ Melton has been on a roll in scoring roles in critically acclaimed films from interesting directors that kicked off with Netflix drama ‘May December,’ directed by Todd Haynes and also starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.
Melton earned rave reviews and a Golden Globe nomination.
He most recently starred in the A24 pic ‘Warfare’ from directors Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza and recently wrapped production on the highly-anticipated second season of feud drama ‘Beef’ at Netflix.

Thatcher, meanwhile, is best known for ‘The Boogeyman,’ ‘Heretic’ and, most recently, ‘Companion,’ and has a starring role in Showtime series ‘Yellowjackets.’
American-Norwegian actor Froseth played a young Betty Ford in Showtime’s ‘The First Lady’ and appeared in Apple TV+ series ‘The Buccaneers.’ Her recent movies include ‘Sharp Stick’ and ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline.’
Actress and model Havana Rose Liu made her name as the lead in the satirical comedy ‘Bottoms’ and recently appeared in Sundance hit ‘Lurker.’
She’s currently filming Jesse Eisenberg’s untitled musical comedy with A24 alongside Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti and Halle Bailey.
When will ‘Her Private Hell’ be in theaters?
Neither Neon nor Refn are saying anything about when the movie might be landing in theaters, but it could conceivably be ready for release next year.
