Tim Burton has officially begun production on his live-action version of Dumbo, the most depressing Disney movie of all time. (Okay, maybe that’s up for debate, but this movie wrecked me as a child.) We’ve heard rumors about the cast for a while now, from Colin Farrell to Danny DeVito and Michael Keaton, and they’re all true! The casting news, along with some plot details and an official release date was announced today during Disney’s live-action panel at the D23 Expo.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s future got surprisingly cloudy for a series renewed through two more years, as cast conflicts put its thirteenth season premiere in question. We may now know when Paddy’s Pub will finally re-open, however, as reports point toward a 2018 premiere.
We knew Always Sunny cast like Danny DeVito might take additional projects over hiatus, but Jeff Goldblum leading an Amazon series? We will definitely, uh, find a way. The once and future Jurassic Park star will lead a new Amazon musician comedy alongside DeVito, featuring the two as “an iconic music duo from the past.”
That Dumbo movie still seems to be, for all intents and purposes, happening, and with Eva Green in talks to star the ball continues to roll. Now, it looks like Danny DeVito — yes, you read that right — might also be heading to the big top.
The Always Sunny gang will be back for Season 12 in early January, and we may need a few trips to Paddy’s Pub to make it through this one. Not only do we have a look at the new musical episode in eight (!) new promos for Season 12, but also a visit from Game of Thrones boss David Benioff, and so much more.
Not that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has ever shied away from coarse language, but the move to FXX and a 14-season vote of confidence from the network was bound to offer a little leeway. So it is, that Mac, Charlie, Dee, Frank and Dennis are at their most vulgar in a full trailer for Always Sunny Season 12, hitting FXX in 2017.
It’s been a rough year and at the end of 2016 nothing would be more needed and appreciated by American audiences than a good ol’ comedy. It’s too bad the first trailer for Robert De Niro’s The Comedian isn’t, um, very funny.
