Vanessa Hudgens's New Netflix Movie The Knight Before Christmas Looks So Good


Vanessa Hudgens stole Christmas last year when she appeared in the now-iconic Netflix holiday flick The Princess Switch. That project was her first foray into the Christmas movie genre, but it’s not her last. In addition to a second installment of The Princess Switch, she’s starring in the upcoming Netflix original The Knight Before Christmas, and the trailer, which dropped today, is perfect.

In the movie, Hudgens plays Brooke, a small-town science teacher who almost hits a time-traveling knight with her car (in a snowstorm, of course, because it’s Christmas). Josh Whitehouse stars as the knight, who wins her heart with all his talk of “value and virtue.” (He also, like, chops down a tree at one point.) No one believes the knight when he says he’s from a different time period, but Brooke is determined to help him. Obviously, romance ensues.

Watch the trailer for yourself, below:

Vanessa Hudgens told Refinery29 recently that she’s very into the idea of becoming a holiday queen between The Knight Before Christmas and The Princess Switch movies. “I was really excited by the idea of being a staple in people’s homes for the holidays,” she said. “I knew if I was doing another Christmas movie, I needed to make sure that it was completely different.”

“It’s a crazy time in the world and everyone could use a bit of light-hearted love,” she continued. “If I can be a part of bringing families together at a time that can be difficult and allowing a little escapism or inspiration, I think that’s wonderful and beautiful.”

The Knight Before Christmas is just one of the many holiday television shows and movies Netflix is serving up this season. Movies like Let It Snow and Holiday in the Wild already have people buzzing, and there’s still more on the horizon. We can’t wait to tune in.

Kristin Davis's Netflix Movie Holiday in the Wild Was Four Years in the Making


What do you think makes Holiday in the Wild stand out from all the other holiday movies coming out this year?

Kristin: The fact that it’s shot in Africa, number one. Even if we leave out the animal part, it’s just in a different setting. It’s more of a travel-adventure movie, in a way; it just happens to be a Christmas movie, but we’re having Christmas in a different place—which is nice. It makes you think about your own Christmas traditions, and then you look at other people’s Christmas traditions and think about them in a new way. Rob [Lowe] brings so much wry humor, which I don’t think you always get in a Christmas movie.

It does feel like the holiday movie genre is having a bit of a renaissance. Why do you think it’s so popular?

Kristin: I think people are very stressed. The world is a stressful place, and the holidays are a time when hopefully we get a little break from that stress. People want entertainment that gives them a good feeling. It’s a nice break. People want to be together; they want to watch things they can watch with the whole family. It’s a time that’s become more important because of the continual 24-hour news cycle and all the things going on in the world. All the difficulties.

Would you be open to doing another holiday movie?

Kristin: Of course! Holiday in the Wild sets the bar pretty high. I think now I’m just going to have to only do holiday movies with animals!

Like a sequel?

Kristin: A sequel would be amazing. I don’t know exactly what we would do or what would happen. For me, shooting in South Africa and Zambia and being able to be around elephants, which is one of my big loves of my life, and getting to write a love letter in the script to the people who take care of them, it really is a dream come true. I never really actually thought the film would get made, so it would be hard to live up to this one.

What did you most relate to with your character, Kate? She sends her son off to college and within seconds her husband leaves her. She goes through a lot just in the first 10 minutes of this movie.

Kristin: I responded to her having her eyes open on this trip she ends up taking by herself to a whole other world and a whole other way people are living and to this crisis of elephant poaching that she had no idea about. I responded to that because that’s very much like my own life.

Rob Lowe and Kristin Davis in Holiday in the Wild.

Netflix

When it comes to your own holiday pop-culture consumption, what are you looking for?

Kristin: I’m looking for something that I can watch with my daughter [Gemma Rose]. She loves Christmas, and when you have kids it’s all about their enjoyment.

How do you think Charlotte York from Sex and the City would take to Kate’s situation in Holiday in the Wild?

Kristin: I think she would be exactly like me! If for some horrible reason Harry left her—which I don’t think he would—and she was going on a single trip to Zambia and found an orphan elephant, I think she’d respond exactly the way that Kate does or that I did.

Holiday in the Wild is now streaming on Netflix.

Lady Gaga Is Starring in a Movie About the Gucci Family Murder: Here's What We Know


Ever since Lady Gaga floored critics and audiences alike with her performance in A Star Is Born last year, the world’s been waiting to see what movie she’ll do next. And now we know: Deadline reports the pop icon is slated to star in a film about the Gucci family, specifically the murder of the founder’s grandson.

Gaga will play Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted in 1998 for arranging the murder of her husband, Maurizio Gucci. She was released from prison in 2016 after serving 18 years.

Ridley Scott, who’s directed several critically acclaimed movies, like The Martian and Gladiator, will helm this project. If his previous work is any indication, we’re in for another awards-season blockbuster. (Scott himself has amassed four Oscar nominations, while Lady Gaga scored a nomination for best actress and a best original song win for “Shallow,” the central tune in A Star Is Born.)

Not much is known about the Gucci project at this time, but here are a few details.

The plot: From a script by Roberto Bentivegna based on Sara Gay Forden’s book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, the movie will center on the rise of the Gucci empire and its foray into the corporate world under CEO Domenico De Sole and creative director Tom Ford. Interspersed with this is the story of Reggiani, who had two daughters with Maurizio Gucci (he left her in 1985 for a younger woman). According to Deadline, Reggiani had a brain tumor removed, which her children blame for her actions involving Maurizio’s murder. But the tabloids weren’t as kind to the matriarch, dubbing her a scorned “Black Widow.”

The cast: Lady Gaga is the only actor attached to the project right now. That will surely change soon.

The director: Ridley Scott.

The release date: Unknown at this time.

We’ll update this post as more details come in.

A New Hocus Pocus Movie Is Happening—Here’s Everything We Know


Halloween is just a week away, and everyone is starting to get into the spirit. We’re all planning our costumes and rewatching the iconic movies of the season like Scream, the OG Halloween, The Shining, and, of course, Hocus Pocus.

The 1993 classic stars Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), Bette Midler (Winifred), and Kathy Najimy (Mary) as the Sanderson sisters whom a group of kids accidentally resurrect on Halloween and then must stop from becoming immortal. The film was actually a bit of a flop at the box office when it was first released, but has reached cult favorite status in the passing years, in no small part thanks to the fact that it reruns constantly on various basic cable networks.

Now, as first reported by Collider, a sequel is in the works. The movie is in development for Disney+, the new streaming platform launching on November 12 that will also be home to all your favorite Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel movies, along with new original programming. (It will cost $6.99/month or $69.99/year.)

We don’t know too many details yet, but Jen D’Angelo is writing the script. Parker, Midler, and Najimy are not currently attached to the project in any official way, but Entertainment Weekly reports that Disney is hoping to get them involved. “I don’t think any of us who were making it at the time thought Hocus Pocus would have such a long life,” Parker told the magazine last year. “People tell me all the time they grew up watching it, and that they still watch it. I think it’s wonderful.”

She also posted a still from the movie on Halloween, calling it “one for the books.”

At a Halloween 2019 event, Midler and Najimy both cited their excitement for the project. “Oh, I hope they get to me before I’m a corpse,” Midler told Entertainment Tonight. “We wanna fly again. I hope Disney+ is a big success and I hope we get to do it, because [Winifred] is of course one of my favorite characters…We’re gonna see what happens.”

Added Najimy, “I heard about it online the same time as [everyone else]. But here’s the honest answer: Sarah and Bette and I all have a million projects and things that we’re into, so I don’t know if they’re gonna offer us [roles]. I don’t know if the worlds are going to collide so that we could all three do it at the same time. But I’m happy that it’s happening, because the fans are really rabid and they really want it. If we’re not all available to star in it, I think it would be so great to do a cameo. I think that’d be really fun.”

It’s also unclear whether the new movie will be a direct sequel or more of a reboot with new characters.

People online had mixed opinions—some were excited but others were afraid a new movie could never live up to the original.

Here’s hoping that, whatever the movie is, it’s available for Halloween 2020.

The Best Movie Sex Scenes of All Time


Listen, there’s absolutely no shame in enjoying movie sex scenes. None. Whether you’re into the romance-in-the-rain vibes of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in The Notebook or something a little more domineering, like Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson‘s relationship in the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, there’s a little something for everyone. Plus, you may find some films you missed out on the first time around, like Angelina Jolie’s early work in Gia or Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz in Disobedience.

Even better, most of these movies are about way more than their super-sexy moments, so there’s no reason to fast-forward to those scenes (not that there’s anything wrong with that). But you might just enjoy the plots too.

So without further ado, here they are: the best movie sex scenes of all time. And yes, we included steamy throwbacks like Basic Instinct, Body Heat, and Fatal Attraction.
