'Happy Face' Brings In The Kids And A Recurring David Harewood

Posted by on
  The upcoming Paramount+ drama series Happy Face has found all of its series regulars and jonesed for its recurring talk show host and Melissa’s boss. The final series regulars found are  Khiyla Aynne   and Benjamin Mackey, while Supergirl alum David Harewood is racking in the ratings. As one could surmise, Aynne and Mackey play Melissa (played by Annaleigh Ashford )’s kids with husband Ben, played by James Wolk . Specifically, Aynne  plays Hazel, their  secure and happy  15-year-old daughter who initially believes that her mother is off on a simple business trip. However,  she soon starts suspecting that something dire is going on, beginning to investigate and uncover the shocking circumstances of her mother’s past.  Mackey plays  lively   9-year-old Max, who takes his stable upbringing for granted and doesn’t grow his older sister’s suspicions regarding mom’s sudden absence. He instead steadfastly believes she’s producing some sort of on-location segment for  The Dr. Greg Show . A

Get In Losers, The ‘Mean Girls’ Musical Movie Trailer Is Here

Posted by on

Paramount has finally released the trailer for the new Mean Girls musical movie to the public. This comes just about four weeks after they attached it to Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, so all the Swifties got to see it first.

Set to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Get Him Back”, the trailer showcases all the familiar plot points to those who love the original film, while somehow only hinting at musical numbers thanks to the glimpse of choreography at the utterance of “Dance break”. After all, the film is not a direct remake of the 2004 film but an adaptation of the 2018 Tony-nominated musical. Cady’s scary Halloween costume ups the freaky factor on the teeth for sure. We even get to see Ashley Park’s role as Madame Park, the French teacher. The implementation of social media is also very apparent, which might come as a bit odd to the original movie fans who are so accustomed to the 2004 of it all.

The film stars Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Auli’i Cravalho as Janis ‘Imi’ike, Reneé Rapp as Regina George, Jaquel Spivey as Damian Hubbard, Avantika as Karen Shetty, Bebe Wood as Gretchen Wieners, Christopher Briney as Aaron Samuels, Jenna Fischer as Ms. Heron, Jon Hamm as Coach Carr, Busy Philipps as Mrs. George in frankly perfect casting with Rapp as her daughter, and brings back Tina Fey as Ms. Norbury and Tim Meadows as Principal Duvall. Cady is the new girl at school as she moves from Africa with her scientist parents to the Illinois suburbs. She is taken in by Janis and Damian, who instruct Cady to infiltrate the school’s popular clique, known as the Plastics. Cady starts to fall for Aaron, Regina’s boyfriend, and soon finds herself more and more entrenched in the lives of the most popular girls in school.

Fey wrote all three versions and also serves as producer. Lorna Mitchells is also producing, with Arturo Perez and Samantha Jayne directing.Jeff Richmond does the music with lyrics from Nell Benjamin. Mean Girls arrives in theaters on January 12, 2024, originally intended for a straight-to-Paramount+ release before the studio pivoted and set its theatrical release date in September.
