Anomalisa is set for a limited theatrical release on Dec. 30th.

What started as a stop motion that received a whole lot of love on Kickstarter has gotten a whole lot of love on the film festival circuit.

The brilliant Charlie Kaufman wrote and co-directed, with Starburns Industries’ Duke Johnson, Anomalisa, which Paramount Pictures has acquired while at the Toronto International Film Festival for distribution very soon.

So, come Christmas time, we’ll get to see both Star Wars and Kaufman’s vision of “a man crippled by the mundanity of his life”. Sounds pretty great to us.

While there was no “walk-off”, Derek Zoolander and Hansel strutted down the runway for Valentino in Paris last night. It was the perfect primer to announce that Zoolander 2 will be coming to theaters for Valentine’s Day weekend, Feb. 12th, 2016.

If you have further doubts and/or haven’t checked any of your other news feeds today, here’s video footage of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in their Zoolander trademark Blue Steel and flowing golden locks

We can only hope that Zoolander 2 outdoes the movie that was released on Valentine’s Day weekend this year, Fifty Shades of Grey.

Before embarking on his Black Plague Tour, Chris Rock has something else big on the horizon. His latest movie Top Five following a comedian turned movie star, in which he starred, written, and directed is making quite the ruckus at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Studios are in a bidding war of the likes that have been rarely seen at TIFF and Paramount Pictures reportedly has offered $12.5 million for the worldwide rights to the movie. Not only is that number impressive for a festival buy, but the movie itself only cost around $6 million to make.

So, Rock’s Top Five sounds like it’ll be pretty good.

Paramount and Eddie Murphy Setting to Bring Beverly Hills Cop Back to the Big Screen

While there was some interest about there being a Beverly Hills Cop TV show, there should be much more excitement that Eddie Murphy is setting to return as Axel Foley on the big screen.

If this actually gets made, this would be one of the few Eddie Murphy comedies over the last couple of decades that people won’t immediately be making fun of for years.
