Taylor Sheridan Sets Action Thriller 'F.A.S.T.', Starring Brandon Sklenar, at Warner Bros. (Exclusive)
Plot details are being kept in the basement, but it is described as a thriller skulking around in the subterranean horror subgenre. The plan is to shoot later this year.
The project is a reunion between Williams with Schneider. The former helmed Paranormal Activity 2, which was part of the hit horror franchise on which Schneider acted as a producer and executive producer.
Spooky is the pairing of two big names in the horror genre. Together, Lee and Schneider produced Late Night with the Devil, last year's supernatural horror thriller that starred David Dastmalchian, as well as Strange Darling, the well-reviewed thriller that put director JT Mollner on Hollywood's radar.
Spooky is currently developing an adaptation of the Scott Snyder horror comic Dungeon. Lee and Schneider are also part of the producing team for The Long Walk, Lionsgate's adaptation of the Stephen King story that will hit theaters Sept. 12.
Randolph in on Hollywood's radar thanks to two key roles in two showy Sheridan TV series. She played Liz Strafford opposite Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren and Brandon Sklenar in 1923, one of the spin-offs in Sheridan's Yellowstone TV series empire. She then landed a role on Landman, in which she plays the daughter of Billy Bob Thornton's titular character. The Paramount+ show was renewed for a second season in March.
The rising actress also has a role in Scream 7, which will be released in February 2026.
Randolph is repped by UTA and D2 Management.

Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber ‘Squash' Their Issues as Music Exec Steps Down as HYBE CEO
Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber have reportedly buried the hatchet. Two years after their decision to part ways professionally, the 'Baby' singer, 31, allegedly still owed the HYBE America CEO millions of dollars in connection with his cancelled 2022 Justice tour. However, the pair have 'squashed their issues and are in a good place' now, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A source told the outlet that Braun, 44, wanted to make sure this was done before stepping down as CEO so he could 'leave the company, and Justin, in a good position.' As for what's next for the music mogul, he is set to transition into a new role as senior advisor to HYBE founder Bang Si-Hyuk. Braun will also join the HYBE Board of Directors. 'Scooter has been an extraordinary partner, a visionary executive, and a true catalyst for cultural exchange,' Chairman Bang said in a statement. 'His contributions have been vital in establishing our ambitious presence in the U.S. market. I am deeply grateful for his leadership, his astute instincts and his unwavering passion for artists. We wish him immense success in his exciting next chapter and look forward to continuing our partnership in executing HYBE's global vision.' The news comes weeks after Braun spoke out on the current status of his relationship with the 'Peaches' artist during a June appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast. 'I'm very proud of what we achieved and always rooting for him,' Braun explained, but noted that his friendship with Bieber was 'not the same' as it once was. 'We worked together for so long and we had such extreme success, and I think you get to a point as a man where you want to show the world you can do it on your own,' he continued. 'And I completely respect that. I think at this point, that's what he's doing. Myself and everyone from the old team is rooting for him.' For the time being, Braun said he would be a 'cheerleader from side' for Bieber, as he hopes for all the artists that he's worked with – which include Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande – to be successful in the industry. The music manager also clarified that he wasn't 'hurt' by Bieber's decision to part ways, adding that he'd felt the same way at the time. 'I wanted to find out who I was, I wanted to experiment with a different career,' he shared. 'We were both communicating enough with each other. The writing was on the wall.'

James Blake Brings ‘Sinners' Song to Cannes Lions
As players from the media and marketing worlds gathered in the south of France for the 2025 Cannes Lions conference, brands jockeying for visibility can be found up and down the Croissette where hosted 'beaches' draw both networkers and revelers. Offshore, however, are the ultra-exclusive events — among them, The Hollywood Reporter's Wednesday afternoon Marketing Power Players event. Held on the gargantuan Kismet yacht, owned by the Khan family, whose sports assets include the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, English Premier league club Fulham F.C. and All Elite Wrestling, the guest list included Activist Artists Management co-founder Bernie Cahill and Activate founder and CEO Michael J. Wolf, who co-hosted the event; Marcie Allen, president of Anzie Blue; Rare Beauty CMO Katie Welch; YouTube co-head creators and gaming Kim Larson; Dhar Mann Studios CEO Sean Atkins; The Macallan head of brand Sergio Cabello; and THR top marketers 2025 list members Bianca Franklin, global business developer, music at H&M, and Universal Music Group executive vp, global brand partnerships Kerri Mackar.

Grammy-winning singer and songwriter James Blake performed two songs, including his latest, 'Séance,' from the soundtrack to Ryan Coogler's Sinners, which he co-wrote with two-time Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, who scored the movie and was also at Cannes Lions, serving as a featured speaker at Spotify's beachside headquarters. 'I leaned into the metaphysical love relationship between the two main characters, not the vampires,' said Blake, who also attended Cannes Lions as an official speaker, of the song, which was written before he saw the movie. 'It was actually quite spooky when I saw it, I could understand how it felt so pertinent to what I was writing about it.' Blake shared the spotlight with singer Monica Martin for one of her tunes, the wistful 'Go Easy, Kid.' Their harmonies, coupled with Blake's accompaniment, elicited enthusiastic applause from the intimate audience. Blake's partner, the actress Jameela Jamil, was also in attendance. Ahead of production on a new Ron Howard movie, she was promoting her podcast, Wrong Turns. Blake, meanwhile, has a new album coming out in October. But as much as the people were impressive — Tony Khan serves as founder, CEO, general manager and head of creative of AEW, the third-most valuable combat sports league in the world (behind UFC and WWE) — all eyes were on the details of this massive marvel at sea which was meticulously designed by Shad Khan, owner of the Jaguars, Fulham F.C., AEW and Flex-N-Gate. The eight-story super-yacht features a pool, an underwater theater, a helipad, multiple bars and dining areas, and designer furnishings in each of its well-apportioned guest suites. The father-son team was aglow in the success of AEW, which recently inked an extension with Warner Bros. Discovery that will keep its popular Wednesday Night Dynamite and Saturday Night Collision on TBS and TNT, respectively. 'Over six years, as things have evolved and entertainment has changed, we've been a staple of cable and continue to be a huge staple of TBS, which is a channel that's had wrestling in its lineup since the 1970s,' said Tony Khan. The numbers whiz name-checked CEO David Zaslav and CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels, along with WBD chief revenue and strategy officer Bruce Campbell, for being 'key supporters.' And while AEW's partnership with WBD has seen as many leadership changes in the six years they've collaborated, Khan added, 'We've come out stronger and stronger under the leadership of Warner Bros. Discovery. And now to be on such a prestigious platform as Max, that's a huge expansion for AEW to reach a new audience or even reconnect with fans that maybe cut the cord and didn't have access to TBS and TNT anymore.' Internationally, AEW has also become destination viewing on ITV, another network with a tradition of wrestling. 'We've been able to build that great linear audience and become the most-watched TV company of all wrestling with the biggest attendance,' said Khan. 'By most of the key metrics, AEW is the no. 1 wrestling company in the U.K.' No doubt the Khans are moving in super-exclusive circles. Aboard the Kismet the evening before were several major players in entertainment and beyond, including agency and Olympics 2028 head Casey Wasserman, Fox Corp. CEO Rob Wade, and former NBA stars Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin. With AEW currently valued at $2 billion, it looks as if the son is following in the steps of his self-made father and at the same time expanding the empire. The younger Khan was heading to Mexico for AEW's first event in the country, which took place June 18, and he's also pushing his roster's brand extension to TV and film. Pro wrestler MJF, for instance, will appear in Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to a movie he saw in the theater as a kid. 'Wrestling is the only 52 weeks-a-year sport,' adds Khan. 'It's a never-ending tour of all different cities and places. It's cool. I never stop.'
