Kim Kardashian in Talks to Star in BRATZ Movie for Amazon MGM — GeekTyrant
Kim Kardashian is in talks with Amazon MGM to star in their upcoming Bratz movie. After a competitive bidding battle, the studio has landed the package for a live-action movie revolving around the Bratz doll line. Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick are writing the script, and while a deal is not closed, sources say Kardashian is being eyed to play the villain in the project.
Erik Feig and Julia Hammer will produce for Picturestart with Kardashian, and Jason and Jasmin Larian producing for MGA. MGA's Isaac Larian will executive produce.
Following the success of the Barbie movie in 2023, studios have been on the lookout for iconic toys that could have a similar pop on the big screen, and Bratz falls right in line as something that could play well at a global level, though I don't think another film in this genre could have the affect the Barbie movie did.
The Bratz toy line has sold more than 200 million dolls to date globally and has the highest social media engagement across all platforms of any toy brand in the world.
Kardashian has landed several Hollywood projects lately, both on the producing and acting fronts. She is currently producing and starring the Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel, which has Eva Longoria directing and Paula Pell penning the script.
On the TV front, she is set to star in Hulu's Ryan Murphy drama series All Is Fair and is also producing and appearing in the Hulu series Group Chat. That series stars La La Anthony and shoots this fall.

The most surreal noir thriller of the year just landed on Hulu — and it will stick with you for days
If you're a fan of Hollywood, you probably watched "The Studio," Apple's critically acclaimed comedy about the movie-making business. But if you're a fan of the noir genre, you were probably disappointed by the show's least successful episode. Smack dab in the middle of "The Studio," the series shifts gears and becomes a shadowy thriller in which Seth Rogen's bumbling studio head attempts to track down a stolen film reel. The episode was a tonal misfire, a rare blip in an otherwise near-perfect season of television and a bummer to anyone whose favorite movie is "Double Indemnity," "Chinatown" or any other noir classic. But to paraphrase a famous Bible verse, when Hollywood takes away, it also gives. And in this case, that gift comes in the form of "The Actor," an indie noir about the dark side of show business that just made its streaming debut on Hulu. "The Actor" is everything that "The Studio's" noir detour failed to be: a taut, trippy, and fiercely authentic thriller that blurs the lines of cinema and reality until they're completely unrecognizable. "The Actor" is the kind of movie that's best watched knowing as little as possible, but if you insist, I'll give you a brief overview. Paul Cole (André Holland) is an actor traveling with a theater troupe who decides to sleep with a married woman while on the road. After the husband gives him a brutal beating, Paul winds up with amnesia and gets stranded somewhere in the Midwest. Without enough money to get back home to New York , he takes a $5 bus to a mysterious town and finds a job at the local factory. He also meets a beguiling woman (Gemma Chan) and begins to fall in love. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In the movie's meaty second act, an old playbill triggers Paul's memory just enough to dislodge his New York address. He heads home, but soon learns some disturbing truths about the man he once was. After struggling to revive his acting career — his utter failure to deliver a single line for a minor role on live television leads to the movie's most stressful moment — Paul attempts to make his way back to a town and a woman he can barely remember. "The Actor" isn't so much a movie about the business of acting as it is a warning about the perils of the profession. Even without the amnesia, Paul lives a sad and depressing life. When he arrives in New York, he learns he was juggling several girlfriends, all of whom seem to hate him. His old friends aren't much better, goading Paul into telling offensive jokes and snickering at him behind his back. It's only when Paul abandons that career for a job in a factory that he seems to find some measure of happiness. But while "The Actor" is surprisingly short on scenes about acting, its promise of noir storytelling comes through in every frame. Filmed on a soundstage in Budapest, where director Duke Johnson could control each tiny variable, the movie is bathed in moody shadows and shades of grey. The music, dialogue, and direction come together to perfectly recreate the feeling of a femme fatale mystery. There's no hesitation or winking at the audience, just pure commitment to this high-concept cinematic vision. At the center of the film is André Holland, who appears in nearly every scene and beautifully conveys the experience of a man drifting through life with no memories of his past. Paul is somehow both perpetually lost and unnaturally confident, as if amnesia robbed him not just of his life story but of his anxiety, too. It's hard to imagine anyone else in the role (although, fun fact: Ryan Gosling was originally set to star before dropping out for scheduling reasons). Holland's performance alone is enough to anchor "The Actor," but the rest of the cast isn't slacking either. It's clear everyone involved is fully devoted to both the noir aesthetic that envelopes the film like cigarette smoke, and the Hollywood critique at its core. Each scene and each line feels pulled straight out of some lost 1940s thriller. It just goes to show what's possible when you decide on a bit and stick to it. Stream "The Actor" on Hulu

I would definitely cancel Peacock and Hulu this month — here's why
With summer in full swing, you're probably spending more time outdoors—and less time glued to your TV. So why keep paying for streaming subscriptions you barely touch? Summer is the perfect time to cut down on monthly costs. In 2025, streaming costs are higher than ever. Americans pay an average of $61 a month for streaming services, according to a Deloitte report — or a hefty $732 a year. But you can save a chunk of that by pausing a service or two. It's easy to hop back in when a must-watch show or movie finally drops. In July 2025, I recommend canceling Hulu and Peacock. Both services are rated highly on our list of best streaming services for their solid catalogs, but their upcoming lineups are pretty quiet, with no big premieres or buzzworthy originals dropping soon. Unless there's something specific you're catching up on, you can safely drop them for now and resubscribe when they have something you really want to watch. Here's why I think you should consider canceling Peacock and Hulu this month. Hulu boasts a fantastic library, particularly when it comes to TV shows. Not only does it have acclaimed originals like "The Handmaid's Tale," it houses FX series like "The Bear" and "Shogun" and airs new episodes of ABC shows the next day. "The Bear" season 4 recently dropped all episodes in late June, and if you haven't binged them, perhaps you may want to consider keeping Hulu. But likely, most fans have run through the entire season. July doesn't have much new to offer. The biggest original is "Washington Black," a limited series drama following a young boy fleeing a sugar plantation in the early 1800s. It's got a star-studded cast that includes Sterling K. Brown, Tom Ellis, Charles Dance and Billy Boyd. "Washington Black" looks fantastic and I'll certainly watch it ... after I resubscribe to Hulu down the road. The miniseries doesn't premiere until July 23 and I can wait a couple of weeks to binge it. Meanwhile, the only other noteworthy new titles on Hulu this month are "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 (premiering July 7) and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 17 (premiering July 9). The latter is a show that's much better binged, so waiting a month or two is more than doable. As for "Bachelor in Paradise," you can watch ABC for free the old-fashioned way — with a TV antenna. Mine is hooked up to a Sling AirTV Anywhere device so I can record shows to watch later. But if you don't have this setup, some smart TVs have a built-in antenna or you can get an antenna to hook up to your smart TV. As for Peacock its July schedule is a desert when it comes to originals. The only one is "Twisted Metal" season 2. Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz return in the post-apocalyptic action comedy, which sees their characters entering the deadly Twisted Metal tournament, a sinister demolition derby hosted by a mysterious man known as Calypso. Looks like a riot, but "Twisted Metal" season 2 doesn't even premiere until the very last day of the month, July 31. You're not missing out on much else ... unless you're a fan of "Love Island." Season 7 of the dating competition series will continue airing episodes throughout July. So if you can't get enough of the drama and romance in the villa (and Casa Amor), you should keep Peacock. How much you can save by canceling Peacock and Hulu depends on which tiers you currently have. The ad-supported Peacock Premium is $8 per month, while ad-free Premium Plus (with the live NBC feed) is $14. Ad-supported Hulu is $10, and ad-free Hulu is a whopping $19. So, if you have the basic standalone versions of both, you'll save $18. If you have the highest, ad-free tiers, you'll save $33. That may not sound like a lot, but churning various streaming services throughout the year can save you well over a few hundred dollars. Put that toward your summer vacation or stockpile it for holiday shopping at the end of the year.
