Today, we get a new Trailer for DOG MAN starring Pete Davidson, Ricky Gervais, Lil Rel Howery and Isla Fisher!
DOG MAN – IN THEATRES JANUARY 31, 2025
Synopsis:
Part dog, part man, all hero.
From DreamWorks Animation—creators of the beloved blockbuster franchises Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and The Boss Baby—comes the canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s New York Times bestselling literary phenomenon: Dog Man.
When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve—and fetch, sit and roll over.
As Dog Man embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out, Free Guy), he must stop the pretty evil plots of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson; Saturday Night Live, The King of Staten Island). Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself, creating the kitten Lil Petey, to double his ability to do crime stuff. Things get complicated, though, when Lil Petey forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man.
When Lil Petey falls into the clutches of a common enemy, Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in an action-packed race against time to rescue the young kitten. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to bring even the most hostile foes together.
Dog Man also stars Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Rango) as TV reporter Sarah Hatoff; Poppy Liu (Hacks, The Afterparty) as Petey’s assistant, Butler; Emmy nominee Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill) as Grampa; Billy Boyd (the Lord of the Rings franchise, Seed of Chucky) as Sarah’s cameraman, Seamus; and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras) as Flippy the fish.
Dog Man is directed by Emmy winner Peter Hastings (The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness), whose credits include the groundbreaking animated series Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. The film is produced by Karen Foster (Spirit Untamed), who served as co-producer on DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon.
Launched in 2016 by Dav Pilkey—the #1 global bestselling author and award-winning illustrator of the Captain Underpants books—the Dog Man Scholastic series now includes 12 books. The series has more than 60 million copies in print and has been translated into 47 languages. Cat Kid Comic Club, a spin-off of Dog Man launched in 2020, has also topped bestseller lists around the world. The most recent Dog Man book, Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea, was overall the #1 bestselling children’s book in the U.S. in 2023, across all children’s formats and ages. Pilkey’s newest book in the Dog Man Series, Dog Man: Big Jim Begins, is set to release on December 3, 2024.
DreamWorks Animation’s Dog Man will be distributed by Universal Pictures.

Synopsis:
Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman.
That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at Saturday Night Live back in 1995. From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3 decades.
In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves – this time, as herself. Over 16 days, the two drive from New York to LA, visiting stops that are meaningful to them, to their friendship, and to America. Through laughter, tears, and many cans of Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these spaces, and to each other, in this new light.

Orca Cove Media is excited to announce a national theatrical release for the first-ever Indigenous heist film, THE GREAT SALISH HEIST, featuring Graham Greene, Tricia Helfer, and Ashley Callingbull. Coming to Cineplex theatres across Canada for National Truth and Reconciliation Day, the film will be playing in select cities on September 22 and September 28, 2024.
“We are so excited to see our film get the big screen treatment across Canada,” says Harold C. Joe, Cowichan filmmaker and producer of Orca Cove Media. “To see our Indigenous stories get national recognition is amazing, and we can’t wait to bring the first-ever Indigenous heist film to Cineplex theatres.”
THE GREAT SALISH HEIST follows Steve Joe, a traditional archaeologist for the Moquahat people who believes the bad luck in his community is a result of the displacement of sacred artifacts. He and a rag-tag group of rebels from the Rez hatch a plan to break into a museum and reclaim their stolen artifacts.
After a successful theatrical run across the West Coast, THE GREAT SALISH HEIST’s lead cast has made names for themselves, including actress Ashley Callingbull who has since been crowned 2024’s Miss Universe Canada.
“We couldn’t be more proud of Ashley and the success she has received,” says Joe. “From our movie filmed in Southern Vancouver Island to competing in Mexico later this year for Miss Universe, she is a testament to Indigenous talent and we couldn’t be happier to have had her as part of our cast.”
Tickets are now on sale here.
On September 30, 2024, Hollywood Suite will present a day of programming featuring Indigenous creatives and artists as part of the fourth annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

At the centre of the day of programming is APTN’s Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 2024, a 90-minute multilingual commemorative gathering created in partnership with CBC/Radio-Canada and the Algonquin Nation and broadcast live from Ottawa. The special seeks to honour survivors, pay tribute to the children who never made it home from residential schools, and deliver a safe and nurturing environment for reconciliation and healing.

Since its debut at Sundance earlier this year, anticipation has been high for Megan Park‘s MY OLD ASS. The Actress/Director/Writer who hails from Toronto, has built an impressive track record after Park‘s directorial debut THE FALLOUT swept awards at SXSW ’21, going on to universal praise.
This latest Feature, produced by Margot Robbie‘s Lucky Chap, centers on a teen named Elliott (Maisy Stella) who after getting high on mushrooms, meets her 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza) who warns her not to fall in love. Until she meets exactly the boy who her older self tells her not to fall for.
Park returned to Toronto, along with Stella (also from Toronto), Kerrice Brooks and Carter Trozzolo, who a friend Ro and young brother, Spencer, of Elliott. Also walking the yellow carpet at Cineplex Varisty Cinemas was Park‘s partner Actor/Singer-Songwriter Tyler Hilton who composes the Score for the Film.
Some carpet highlights:
We were thrilled to chat with Park, Stella and Brooks about their experiences working on this Comedy.
Park tells us “I think it’s hard to go into a movie expecting an audience to take away one thing. I don’t want to force any message on anyone, but it is really cool hearing people come out of the movie and when they go home, they call their mom or their dad. That always is really moving to me. I hope that people really feel something and are reminded of how quickly time goes by”.
Stella, who you might remember from TV series NASHVILLE and part of sister singing duo Lennon & Stella, tell us about how she got involved with the project. She says, “I read Megan‘s script for The Fallout and I taped for that, I met her through that and I just really fell in love with her and wanted to work with her so bad. So when I got the MY OLD ASS script it had her name on it, I knew to take it very, very seriously. It was such a good Script. It was such a perfect Script and you actually have to try very hard not to love it.

Netflix and Shondaland announced today Bridgerton is back in production for Season 4. Bridgerton adds new cast Katie Leung (Lady Araminta Gun), Michelle Mao (Rosamund Li); Isabella Wei (Posy Li), and Emma Naomi (Alice Mondrich) and Hugh Sachs (Brimsley) will be part of the main cast this season. The new season will focus on the second Bridgerton son, Benedict (Luke Thompson) and his quest to find the mesmerizing Lady in Silver, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha).
New Cast Include:
Katie Leung (she/her) (The Peripheral) has been cast as Lady Araminta Gun. Twice married and twice widowed, Araminta has two girls debuting on the marriage mart this season and is feeling the pressure to get at least one of them married off. Fabulous, discerning, and blunt, Araminta does not respond well when anything — or anyone — threatens her standing in society.
Michelle Mao (she/her) (A Big Bold Beautiful Journey) has been cast as Rosamund Li. Beautiful, vain, and eager to please her mother, Rosamund is Araminta’s eldest daughter and most prized possession. Rosamund sets her sights on Benedict Bridgerton this season and is determined to get what she wants.
Isabella Wei (she/her) (1899) has been cast as Posy Li. Rosamund’s younger sister, the much kinder Posy is also debuting this year. But her mother rarely puts the spotlight on Posy, as her chatty, overly friendly demeanor often has her putting her foot in her mouth.
Previously Announced Cast: Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Yerin Ha (Sophie Baek), Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton), Victor Alli (Lord John Stirling), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Julie Andrews (Lady Whistledown), Lorraine Ashbourne (Mrs. Varley), Masali Baduza (Michaela Stirling), Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Bridgerton), Hannah Dodd (Francesca Stirling), Daniel Francis (Lord Marcus Anderson), Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton), Martins Imhangbe (Will Mondrich), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton), and Polly Walker (Portia Featherington)
Bridgerton Expands Filming Footprint:

This regal undertaking was designed by Bridgerton Production Designer, Alison Gartshore along with Supervising Art Director Antony Cartlidge and Art Director Adam David Grant. The build spans approximately two acres of Netflix’s backlot at Shepperton, marking a new chapter in the series’ enchanting journey.
Additional Info About Bridgerton Season 4:
