The trailer for ‘To All the Boys: Always and Forever’, the third and final film in the popular trilogy based on Jenny Han’s young-adult novels was released on Wednesday. ‘To All the Boys: Always and Forever’ is coming to Netflix on February 12, 2021.

Directed by Michael Fimognari, the film stars are Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, Janel Parrish, Anna Cathcart, Ross Butler, Madeleine Arthur with Sarayu Blue, and John Corbett.

Speaking about the film, it follows Lara Jean Covey as she prepares for the end of high school and the start of adulthood, a pair of life-changing trips lead her to reimagine what life with her family, friends, and Peter (Noah Centineo) will look like after graduation.

Speaking about the same, Lana Condor said she feels like she’s graduating, too. USA Today quoted her as saying, “It’s really kind of a surreal moment. I get emotional. I’m really worried because I am not fully (prepared). My heart hurts to know that it’s ending, but also I’m really excited.”

The first two “To All the Boys” films orbited around Lara Jean’s relationships with the guys she likes, Condor said but in the final film “it’s really cool to kind of see her start to think about her future as an independent woman, regardless of whether or not maybe her relationships are going to follow with her.”

For Noah, however, Lara Jean and Peter represent “a very magical feeling of love with someone that you get very rarely in life, but you do get it. When people watch films, it reminds them or gives them hope that they will find that again or they will find that for the first time.”

The two Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem may have found their next roles in Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, respectively. Kidman, 53, and Bardem, 51, are in talks to portray the famous I Love Lucy co-stars and off-screen lovers in the movie Being the Ricardos.

The Trial of the Chicago 7‘s Aaron Sorkin wrote the script and will direct it for Amazon Studios. The meta Being the Ricardos movie will follow Ball and Arnaz during a challenging week of filming the 1950s TV show I Love Lucy. 

The plot starts during a Monday table read and ends with a TV shoot on Friday. It is in front of an audience. The couple’s children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. will executive produce their parents’ official biopic.

Ball and Arnaz got married in 1940 before co-starring in the popular I Love Lucy, which ran from 1951 to 1957. They were divorced in 1960. In 2019, Lucie Arnaz spoke with” Good Morning America “about what she wanted the film to communicate with fans.

“It’s always been hard for me to really comprehend the baseness of what I grew up in and her popularity. It creates an enormous amount of pride,” she said, adding that the movie will depict “the good, the bad, the ugly but primarily the good.”

However, the project seems to have faced several shakeups. In 2018, she spoke with  The Hollywood Reporter about the honor of portraying the small screen legend. The Carol actress said, “I’ve long been obsessed by Lucille Ball.

Who hasn’t? I mean she’s not only as an actress, as a comedian, but as a producer, as a parent, as a force of nature within Hollywood.”

She also said gratefully, “You step onto a film set in America and the male and female washrooms on a film set are called by their name “Desi and Lucy”. Blanchett, 51, called the movie “a work in progress… but one I am very excited about.”

It’s unclear why Blanchett exited the project, though it seems that Amazon is preparing to officially replace her with Kidman, who recently made waves in Big Little Lies and The Undoing.

As for Bardem, the Skyfall actor is currently working on The Little Mermaid live-action film, in which he’ll star as the King Triton to Halle Bailey‘s Ariel.

Actor Sacha Baron Cohen has said that he will not reprise the role of the fan-favorite Borat in future films. Cohen first played Borat Sagdiyev, a slim, gray-clad journalist who worked for Kazakhstan’s state television network, in the 2006 film Borat:

Cultural Lessons from America for the benefit of the glorious nation of Kazakhstan.

He recently released his sequel Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, which launched on Amazon Prime Video ahead of the US presidential election in November.

In an interview with Variety, Sacha Baron Cohen said that he created Borat 2 because he “felt that democracy was in danger” due to the presidency of Donald Trump.

“I felt that democracy was in danger, I felt that people’s lives were in danger and I felt compelled to finish the film. The movie was originally about the danger of Trump and Trumpism.

Joe Biden is poised to become the next US president. After winning 306 votes in the electoral college over Donald Trump, who managed just 232, Sacha Baron Cohen said it was time for him to tell Borat to see new.

“I took out Borat for Trump. This movie had a purpose, and I really don’t see the purpose of doing it again. So yes, he is locked in the closet, “said the actor.

Recently many news are coming off; the films that will be based on best-selling novels, Filmiere.com reports.

One of the most exciting new names of the movie industry of recent years Florence Pugh (pictured) is producing and starring in the murder mystery “The Maid” for Universal Pictures, based on Nita Prose’s debut novel of the same name.

The book itself will be published in 2022. The studio said the story contains elements of Gail Honeyman’s “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine” with an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery.

According to the official plot, by the studio, it’s about Molly the maid, who leaves every room perfect and pristine, while getting to know each guest’s dirty secrets, and explores Molly’s descent into the murderous underbelly of her gilded workplace.

The other news is coming from Jennifer Lopez. Playing FBI agent is no stranger to Lopez and in movies, she had to deal with serial killers before in “The Cell” and now she’s back to the mystery area.

She will play the role of FBI agent Nina Guerrera in the Netflix adaptation of Isabella Malondo’s novel ‘The Cipher’.

Currently, there’s no writer or director of the project but Lopez herself is the executive producer of this and she’ll probably manage to bring big names to the project. So the murder-mystery or serial killer story lovers still have big and exciting projects to look forward to.

It seems the success of “Knives Out” had made the Agatha style murder mysteries popular again and of course, other kinds as well.
