Max has dropped the official trailer for Duster, J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan's high-octane crime drama series starring Lost alum Josh Holloway and Rachel Hilson.

Set in the 1970s Southwest, Duster explores the life of a gutsy getaway driver (Holloway) for a growing crime syndicate (headed by Keith David's Ezra Saxton) that goes from dangerous to wildly, stupidly dangerous when a tenacious young agent (Hilson) comes into town hellbent on taking his crime family down.

'How do you feel about violence?", asks David's Ezra Saxton as the trailer opens, followed by sounds of engines revving and tires screeching. It only gets wilder from there.

In addition to Holloway, HIlson and David, cast also includes Sydney Elisabeth, Greg Grunberg, Camille Guaty, Asivak Koostachin, Adriana Aluna Martinez, and Benjamin Charles Watson.

The first two episodes are written by Abrams and Morgan; first two episodes directed by and executive produced by Steph Green; series is executive produced by Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich for Bad Robot; executive produced by Morgan for TinkerToy Productions.

The eight-episode season, produced in association with Warner Bros. Television, will debut new episodes weekly through July 3.

Check out the trailer above.

{blackbabes} Teri Polo, James Udom, Davida Williams & Sa’Raya Paris Johnson To Star In Dramedy ‘Caroline’ From Morningstar Angeline

Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Per Angeline, who directs from a script by novelist Daniel Blum (The Feet Say Run), "Caroline maintains a perspective from a young girl at the precipice of becoming a teenager. In our timeless small town where big city dreams aren't even a thought, Caroline runs free, making this small world seem full and big. Even when the stakes feel high, the audience remains with Caroline, enduring her life through her naivety, curiosities, and ambitions."

Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Joel McHale (Animal Control) and Paula Patton (Sacrifice) are set to star alongside Yonas Kibreab, the lead of Pixar's forthcoming Elio, in Reimagined, a musical feature marking the directorial debut of composer Mateo Messina (Juno), which adapts his original symphony The Pageant.

Written by Messina and Jeff Witzke, the film follows Felix McCoy (Kibreab), a young boy grappling with the loss of his mother, Mary (Patton), the beloved creator of the town's annual holiday pageant. When the production is taken over and rebranded into a shallow spectacle by cocksure director, Hamilton Lydell (McHale), Felix secretly sabotages the event, only to realize that saving the show might be the only way to keep his late mother's spirit alive.

Currently shooting on location in the Hudson Valley, New York, the film also stars Cress Williams (Black Lightning), Josh Holloway (Duster), Kate Micucci (Dog Man), Jade Catta-Preta (Future Man), Aaron David Harris (Matlock), Savannah Dahan (Kids Bop), Jeff Witzke (Saturday Night), and Scott Hoying (of a cappella group the Pentatonix).

Robert Graf (No Country for Old Men), Gabriel Roth (Drugstore June), Chris Bongirne (Marshall), and Pete Muller are the producers.

Reflecting on the process of making Reimagined, Messina told Deadline, "It's been fascinating to create a story completely from a musical perspective. The exciting challenge has been every element of the score will be seen on the screen. This is a musical film, just not in the traditional sense."

Best known for starring in NBC's cult hit comedy Community, which will soon be getting a long-teased film continuation, McHale has made memorable recent appearances on Yellowjackets and The Bear and headlines Fox's sitcom Animal Control, which returned returned earlier this year for its third season. Upcoming, he's also set to star in Scream 7. He's represented by UTA and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

Over the years, Patton has been seen in numerous films, including The Do-Over, About Last Night, 2 Guns, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and Precious, to name just a few. She's represented by Gersh and MPE.

{blackbabes} Zoë Kravitz In Talks To Direct ‘How To Save A Marriage’ From Sony And Producer Robert Pattinson

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Following her directorial debut on Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz looks to have found her next helming gig. Sources tell Deadline that she is in talks to direct How to Save a Marriage for Sony Pictures. Ross Evans penned the script, and Robert Pattinson is producing with partner Brighton McCloskey via their Icki Eneo Arlo banner along with Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg via Entertainment 360.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, and studio sources say the project is still in early development. Evans will also exec produce. As of now, Pattinson, who starred with Kravitz in 2022's The Batman, is only producing the pic.

Sony is high on the project and was aggressive in pursuing it when it hit the market last year. The deal marked a huge sale to a major studio for Evans and at the time showed studios' interest in high-profile packages following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

While plot details are unknown, sources say Marriage has edgy undertones similar to Blink Twice that made that film work, and helped inform the execs' decision to tap Kravitz as director. While still busy on the acting front, she showcased her helming talent with the thriller, released in August 2024 and starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum. The Amazon MGM Studios film earned strong reviews and put Kravitz on the map as a director.

On the acting front, Kravitz can be seen next opposite Austin Butler in the Darren Aronofsky thriller Caught Stealing, which bows this fall.

She is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.

{blackbabes} Maurice Hall & Tony L. Patterson Set Cast For Indie Dramedy ‘#WorstChristmasEver’

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Filmmakers Maurice Hall and Tony L. Patterson have set the cast for their third feature together, the indie dramedy #WorstChristmasEver. The list includes B.J. Britt (The Groomsmen Last Dance), Taja V. Simpson (Tyler Perry's The Oval), Shanti Lowry (The Game), Bill Bellamy (Bel-Air), Tamala Jones (Ordinary Angels), Maurice Hall (High Potential), Tyler Lofton (The Pitt), and Mo Ashley (All American: Homecoming).

Written by Patterson and Hall, who also features in the ensemble, the film follows recently divorced workaholic Billy Turner (Britt) as he's persuaded to fly across the country to celebrate Christmas with his children, James (Lofton) and Haley (Ashley), his ex-wife, Alicia (Lowry)….and her new fiancé, Chris (Hall). Billy's longtime friends, Larry (Bellamy) and Cynthia (Jones), try to talk him off a ledge in his dread of this years' holiday. And in a feat to drink away his sorrows, he literally stumbles upon high powered lawyer, Harmony Davis (Simpson). Though brief, their first encounter over chicken wings and a series of jokes turns to an unlikely romance that leads Billy to invite her to Christmas dinner. James, Haley and friends travel from separate coasts, dealing with delays, cancellations and daddy issues as their parents navigate their own past and pettiness.

The intention, Hall said, was to give the audience the opportunity "to create memories that emphasize the importance of family, love, and resilience, especially during the holidays. Think Almost Christmas meets Guess Who."

Hall produced for Mo-tivation Unlimited, alongside Patterson's PattersonHouse Productions, and Simpson & McGowan Studios, with Ricki Maslar handling casting. Carl McDowell (Ballers) and René Ashton (The Man in the Guesthouse) round out the cast.

Britt is repped by Joseph Le Talent Agency and Luber Roklin; Simpson by Stewart Talent and E Cubed Management; Lowry by Buchwald; Hall by Eileen O'Farrell Management; Bellamy by Buchwald; Jones by IAG and Alchemy Entertainment; Lofton by AEFH and Luber Roklin; and Ashley by Kia Todd Agency and Sheila Legette Entertainment.

{blackbabes} TLC Musical ‘CrazySexyCool’ Aims For Broadway

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

CrazySexyCool, the upcoming jukebox musical about '90s trio TLC that's set to premiere at Arena Stage in Washington D.C. next year, is aiming for a Broadway move, sources tell Deadline. A Broadway production timeline hasn't been set.

The musical tells the story of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins (ex-Sheila, Days of Our Lives), Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the Grammy-winning trio behind such hits as "Waterfalls," "Creep," "Unpretty" and "No Scrubs." Written and directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, the former artistic director of London's Young Vic whose credits include One Love: The Bob Marley Musical, CrazySexyCool makes its world premiere at Arena Stage in June 2026 for 8 weeks as part of the company's 75th Anniversary season.

Casting hasn't been announced.

Producing is Bill Diggins' Diggit Theatrical Group, with Stephen Gabriel as Executive Producer. Gabriel's Broadway producing credits include The Roommate, The Who's Tommy, Jagged Little Pill and Ain't Too Proud.

Billed as a "(mostly true) story of unshakable sisterhood," CrazySexyCool will feature choreography by Chloe O. Davis, the associate choreographer of the current Gypsy whose other credits as a performer include Paradise Square and Hell's Kitchen.

Formed in 1990 Atlanta, TLC would eventually score nine Top 10 hits, including four number-one singles – "Creep", "Waterfalls", "No Scrubs" and "Unpretty." The group sold over 95 million records worldwide, though creative differences and internal feuds set in. Lopes died on April 25, 2002, in a car crash while filming a documentary in Honduras.

"TLC completely changed the game," said producer Bill Diggins. "Their music gave a voice to women everywhere, empowering them to be confident and unapologetic. But this isn't just a story about the music; it's about the sisterhood between these women and what kept them together through both unimaginable challenges and chart-topping success."

"Bringing this story to the stage is a dream come true," said Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins. "We have performed in a lot of different venues all over the world throughout our career, but bringing our story and music to the theater is a totally new and exciting challenge."

"We have some of the best people in the business working on this project," said Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. "Audiences will get to hear our story – mostly fact with a sprinkle of fiction – told in our own way, and of course it's set to all your favorite hits."

{blackbabes} Danielle Deadwyler To Star In & Produce Adaptation Of Ann Petry’s ‘The Street’

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Gotham Award winner Danielle Deadwyler (Till) is teaming with Alix Madigan and Michael Sherman to develop and produce The Street, a feature adaptation of the novel by Ann Petry, in which she's set to star.

Also aboard the project is Gina Atwater (Westworld), who will write the script and serve as executive producer.

Reissued in 2022, Petry's 1946 debut novel was famously the first book by a Black woman to sell over one million copies. This is the harrowing story of young Black woman Lutie Johnson (Deadwyler) and her spirited struggle to raise her son amid the violence, poverty, and racial dissonance of Harlem in the late 1940s.

In a statement accompanying the development announcement, Deadwyler said, "Ann Petry's The Street has quaked my understanding of motherhood, Black and American family life experiences on how to just get by (historically), and the festering emotions that seed alongside the wilted optimism and dark hope of the American Dream."

She called The Street "essential to American literature," saying that this was "evident upon its marvelous critically acclaimed debut; and, now, with this steadfast and dynamic collaboration with Alix, Michael, Gina, myself and the Petry estate, we hope to rumble the film landscape with an adaptation of her evergreen tale of the lengths to which one mother, one woman is stretched for self, family and the costs of survival."

Commented Madigan and Sherman, "We are inspired to be a part of bringing Ann Petry's harrowing classic to life with Danielle and Gina and could not imagine better creative collaborators to partner with on this journey."

Currently, Deadwyler can be seen starring in Universal & Blumhouse's horror film The Woman in the Yard, which opened March 28. Recently seen in Netflix's smash hit Christmas action thriller Carry-On, her other best known credits include Station Eleven, Till, The Piano Lesson, and The Harder They Fall. Other upcoming projects for the actressinclude HBO's untitled Steve Carell comedy from Bill Lawrence, Matt Tarses and Warner Bros. TV, as well as Fifth Season's Otis & Zelma opposite John Boyega, of which she is an EP.

Atwater wrote on HBO's Westworld, has developed TV for Apple and HBO, and just wrapped up a multi-year overall deal at Netflix. Currently, she's writing and producing Myrtis, based on the life of bull rider Myrtis Dightman, with Dee Rees attached to direct, in addition to developing projects at Orion Pictures and Ley Line Entertainment. 

An Oscar nominee, Madigan has produced titles like Winter's Bone and Hold Your Breath. Credits for Sherman include The Truffle Hunters, The Fight, and Native Son, to name just a few.

Deadwyler is represented by Paradigm, Play Management, and Ziffren Brittenham; Atwater by The Mission Entertainment, CAA, and Gang, Tyre, Ramer.

Producers on the project include Mason Novick, Diablo Cody, Trent Hubbard and Mary Anne Waterhouse. Charlie Traisman and Katherine Romans are exec producing for Madhouse Films, alongside Casey Durant and Rachel Douglas from Range Media Partners.

Recently, Union garnered Gotham and Spirit Award nominations for her starring turn opposite Jeremy Pope in Elegance Bratton's A24 drama The Inspection, and also starred opposite Octavia Spencer in Apple TV+'s Truth Be Told.
