Ice Cube and Kevin Hart may dust off their bickering buddy act now that “Ride Along 3” is once again in early development at Universal. Tim Story, the director of the two previous installments in the cop comedy franchise, and Will Packer, the producer, are also likely back for more. Before you reserve your ticket, it’s worth noting that all of these players have been trying to get another “Ride Along” off the ground for nearly a decade without success.
That could change. The big news, which Variety has confirmed, is that Daniel Gold, the writer of the Netflix/CBC comedy series “Workin’ Moms,” has been hired to write the screenplay.
It makes sense that Universal, the studio behind the “Ride Along” films, would want to revive the series. “Ride Along” grossed $155 million when it debuted in 2014, while “Ride Along 2” earned $125 million when it hit theaters in 2016. So what’s behind the delay? The answer may be that big screen comedies have fallen out of favor in recent years. Major studios have largely ceded that ground to streamers like Netflix and Prime Video, which have invested more heavily in the genre.
For those who may be hazy on the plot of the “Ride Along” films, they follow a security guard who is desperate to prove himself to his girlfriend’s police officer big brother.
Story and Hart are about to reunite on the upcoming Netflix comedy “72 Hours.” Packer produced “You, Me & Tuscany,” a rom-com with Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page that Universal premiered this weekend. And Cube recently starred in “War of the Worlds” and played himself in last winter’s “Anaconda” reboot.
Natasha Lyonne claimed in a new X post that she was “detained” by ICE after she was kicked off a flight following her April 7 appearance at the “Euphoria” Season 3 premiere in Hollywood. The Emmy nominee, whose appearance on the “Euphoria” red carpet went viral due to her see-through top, was clarifying widely-circulated reports report that claimed she was kicked off a flight from Los Angeles to New York before it took off due to unruly behavior. Page Six was first to report the story.
“Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red eye flight to NYC,” Lyonne posted on X in response to one of the reports tweeted by E! News. “Boarded seamlessly with just a backpack and sneakers, eager for a nap. Plan was to be bushy tailed & beauty rested, as I was meant to head straight to glam for a slot with our beloved Drew Barrymore upon landing. Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess. Thanks for all the love and support. Never had a problem with Delta or TSA before. Heart is with our unpaid TSA workers. Apologies to any travelers who were delayed.”
Variety has reached out to Lyonne’s agents, plus representatives for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, for comment.
Lyonne first revealed she was heading to New York City to appear on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in an April 9 post on X in which she called out the Page Six report by writing: “My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with Drew Barrymore yesterday but guess wasn’t in the cards. Who owns page six/New York Post now again?”
Hours after posting, Lyonne popped up in New York City and walked the red carpet at the premiere for the Focus Features documentary “Lorne.” She also attended the film’s after party, where she took photos with friends such as Seth Meyers and Sarah Sherman. Lyonne walked the red carpet with friend Hamer Morgenstern.
Lyonne revealed in January on X that she had relapsed and was no longer sober, but she circled back with fans in March to announce she was “doing a whole lot better and back on her feet.”
Thanks for the great reporting, @enews. Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red eye flight to NYC.

Natasha Lyonne is continuing to call out those who escorted her off a plane Tuesday night after a red-eye flight incident following the Euphoria season 3 premiere.
According to a Thursday report from Page Six, Lyonne was reportedly still in her sheer outfit worn on the red carpet, and seemed “out of it in a first class seat, and when flight attendants asked her to close her laptop and fasten her seatbelt for takeoff, she didn’t respond.” After “numerous flight attendants repeatedly tried to get the star to follow their commands.” The plane eventually returned to the gate, and Lyonne was asked to leave, causing a delay of over an hour.
On Friday, Lyonne addressed the incident in a post on X, quoting an E! News article, disputing aspects of the report. She said she had taken a sleep aid before the flight and was trying to rest.
“Thanks for the great reporting, @enews. Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red eye flight to NYC. Boarded seamlessly with just a backpack and sneakers, eager for a nap. Plan was to be bushy tailed & beauty rested, as I was meant to head straight to glam for a slot with our beloved @DrewBarrymore, upon landing,” the Poker Face star wrote. “Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess.”
She also thanked supporters and apologized to fellow travelers for the delay, noting she had never previously had issues with Delta or TSA.
The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to ICE and Delta for comment but has yet to hear back.
Lyonne had been scheduled to appear on The Drew Barrymore Show Wednesday to promote Euphoria. Her role in the Sam Levinson-created series remains under wraps. Despite the incident, she later made it to New York and attended the premiere of the upcoming documentary, Lorne, about Saturday Night Live mastermind Lorne Michaels. Lyonne was featured as an SNL host for the sketch-comedy series’ season 47 in 2022.
The Russian Doll star has been open about her struggles with addiction. In January, she revealed in a tweet that she had relapsed and was no longer sober. Last month, she thanked fans for their support amid her recovery journey. “Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better and back on her feet,” Lyonne wrote. “Want to thank our recovery communities and the fans who stood by and were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength and hope as makes sense.”
After a decade of development, Ride Along 3 is starting to see renewed momentum.
Daniel Gold, who was a writer on the Netflix series Workin’ Moms, is set to write a new take on the buddy cop story, with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube in talks to return for the Universal project. Also in talks to return is director Tim Story and producer Will Packer, the latter of whomis releasing the rom-com You, Me & Tuscany with the studio this weekend.
Universal had no comment on the potential project.
Hart and Ice Cube star in the film series as brothers-in-laws who happen to both work in law enforcement, each with drastically different levels of expertise, who often end up in the middle of Florida’s various crime underworlds.
It has been ten years since the last Ride Along movie hit theaters. The first Ride Along, out in 2014, grossed over $130 million at the domestic box office, while the second installment earned over $90 million in 2016, making it an overall profitable mid-budget franchise for the studio.
Ice Cube, who was last seen in sci-fi film War of the Worlds and in a cameo role in Sony’s Anaconda, is repped by UTA and Johnson Shapiro.
For his part, Hart was last in theaters with the video game adaptation Borderlands and is set to return for the fourth Jumanji movie, due out this December. He is repped by WME and 3Arts.
Story is repped by UTA and Johnson Shapiro, and Packer is repped by CAA and Johnson Shapiro.

It seems like a lifetime ago when a record 11 companies — including the six major Hollywood studios — teased their upcoming films in 2018 at CinemaCon, the annual convention of theater owners and operators that’s been held for decades in Las Vegas.
The mood was one of general optimism; annual domestic box office revenue was still clocking in at north of $11 billion despite the rise of streaming. But in a harbinger of a far more serious threat — consolidation — then-20th Century Fox movie head Stacey Snider brought many to tears when addressing the looming sale of a large swath of Rupert Murdoch’s media and entertainment empire, including the film studio, to Disney. “Today we face a new transition and potential merger that will have lasting implications for the film business,” she said. A year later, Snider was gone, with the renamed 20th Century movie division becoming part of Disney’s CinemaCon presentation. “It’s a bit of a shock to be here as colleagues,” confessed Emma Watts, who had been vice chair at Fox and did a brief post-merger stint at Disney.
Shock was one way to put it. This year’s CinemaCon could prove all-out surreal as the number of major legacy studios further erodes at a time when cinemas need more product that can work theatrically, not less, if they are ever to recover from the pandemic and labor strikes. Numerous movies are expected to finally be dated, for example.
A plethora of huge stars and filmmakers are expected to participate,including Christopher Nolan and possibly even Steven Spielberg, as well as actors Zendaya, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet and Tom Cruise. But the radical consolidation underway in Hollywood will share the stage inside the cavernous Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace as nervous exhibitors try to wrap their heads around the notion of Skydance founder David Ellison buying up Warner Bros. — no matter what the cost or debt incurred — when the ink has barely dried on his acquisition of Paramount Pictures, which had been left crippled after years of financial neglect.
But hope runs eternal among box office pundits, with many counting on a repeat of summer 2023 and the Barbenheimer phenomenon. “Everyone feel very bullish about the prospects for a mighty impressive summer for movie theaters and studios,” says Comscore chief analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
Bullish, and terrified. “It’s unclear how the elephant in the room is going to play out, whether increased pressure from the tech companies, or the merging of two iconic studios with little clarity on what a joined Warner Bros./Paramount will ultimately look like in the film ecosystem a year from now,” says one top studio executive. “All of this will cast a bit of shadow on what’s supposed to be a celebratory week.”
Here’s a guide to the biggest headlines that could come out of CinemaCon 2026 from the five remaining legacy studios hosting presentations — Sony, Warners, Universal, Paramount and Disney. Amazon MGM, which is celebrating its first major box office hit, Project Hail Mary, also is presenting, as is the indie outfit Neon. Amazon MGM could leave exhibitors all-out elated if it dates the next Bond pic, although Daniel Craig’s replacement as 007 isn’t likely to be revealed just yet. Then again, it is Vegas.
WHAT WILL HE SAY THIS TIME?

Sony Pictures Entertainment chair Tom Rothman, whose studio for years has opened the show on Monday night, can generally be counted on for a pithy quote, such a “Netflix, my ass” (said at 2017’s CinemaCon). He and his team also could share sneak footage of what’s virtually assured of being the biggest live-action pic of the summer, Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31), produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. And don’t forget about the four Beatles pics that are Rothman’s passion project. Directed by Sam Mendes, they are opening in April 2028. Maybe we’ll finally know the exact dates each one is debuting.
HOW TO CELEBRATE DURING AN AWKWARD PERIOD

This year, they’ll be plugging Diggers, starring Tom Cruise, who is seen (far right) at the 2022 premiere of Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick with then-Skydance CEO David Ellison, who now runs all of Paramount and could soon be running Warners as well.

A year ago, Warner Bros. film chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy were raked over the coals by the media — this reporter included — when touting Sinners and One Battle After Another at CinemaCon. Pundits said both films cost far too much. The duo certainly got the last laugh: Sinners picked up a record 16 Oscar nominations and won a slew of top categories, including best original screenplay for filmmaker Ryan Coogler and best actor for Michael B. Jordan, and One Battle After Another won best picture, best director and adapted screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson. It isn’t clear if De Luca and Abdy will follow Snider’s cue and talk about the ownership change; Ellison has said repeatedly he’ll keep the two studios separate (many say that’s likely true for at least two years).
Otherwise, expect to see something from their year-end movie Diggers, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Tom Cruise in his first potential awards film in years. Legendary’s Dune: Part 3, starring Chalamet and Zendaya, and DC’s Supergirl will also be highlighted. Overall, Warners’ presentation may have fewer stars, but those that do turn out will be names known around the world.

MEET THE NEW TEAM
Whether or not Ellison will be on the ground in Vegas, new Paramount studio chiefs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein are sure to make as much news as possible, either by announcing release dates or new projects. They’ll also promote films including May’s Billie Eilish — Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, a 3D concert film directed by James Cameron. And Cruise recently was filmed atop Paramount’s water tower for some sort of CinemaCon reel. At Skydance, Ellison grew close with Cruise when partnering with Paramount and co-financing the Mission: Impossible and Top Gun franchises.

Like Warners in years past, Universal is known for throwing a talent-rich CinemaCon show. Don’t expect that to change this time as it pulls off nothing short of a coup: having Nolan on hand to plug his July epic The Odyssey (Damon plays the lead, while other high-profile names on the call sheet include Zendaya, Holland and Charlize Theron). And don’t be surprised if Spielberg could make his CinemaCon stage debut to promote Disclosure Day, his summer sci-fi event picture that stars Emily Blunt (she’s also in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which kicks off the summer box office May 1), Josh O’Connor, Eve Hewson, Colin Firth and more. And exhibitors never tire of the chance to catch up with longtime Universal movie chief Donna Langley, who now overseas all content across movies, TV and streaming as chair of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios.
Disney, which historically relied on footage instead of talent, also is expected to pull out all the stops in terms of star and filmmaker power. Its slate is enviable, from 20th Century’s The Devil Wears Prada sequel to Pixar’s Toy Story 5 to the December event pic Avengers: Doomsday. That last one, from Marvel, has been shrouded in mystery, so now would be an opportune time to demonstrate that the film will deliver. Sources say Doomsday is exploding on long-lead tracking. Disney also has two Star Wars films on the horizon: director Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu, which releases in May, and next year’s Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosling.

A version of this story appeared in the April 8 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Click here to subscribe.
Netflix’s Olympic gymnastics drama “Perfect” is no longer moving ahead at the streamer after Millie Bobby Brown exited the project due to creative differences, two sources with knowledge of the project have confirmed.
Brown was set to star as Kerri Strug, a member of the 1996 “Magnificent Seven” USA gymnastics team with Gia Coppola directing and Ronnie Sandahl as screenwriter.
The project was announced last September. Brown had been set to produce under her PMCA shingle, which Nik Bower of Riverstone Pictures and Thomas Benski for Magna Studios as lead producers.
At 18 years old, Strug helped her team win the gold medal after she performing the vault on an injured ankle. After she landed perfectly and her ankle gave out, her coach had so carry her off the mat, which became a landmark moment in Olympic history. Her team insisted she join them for the gold medal ceremony, and again her coach helped carry her to the podium. She became a heroic figure with appearances on talk shows, a “Saturday Night Live” parody and her photo on the Wheaties box. After her gymnastics career, Strug went on to work as an elementary school teacher and in several positions in the White House and Justice Department.
Brown just completed five seasons of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” which she started at 12 years old, and has “Enola Holmes 3” premiering on Netflix this summer. She has also wrapped production on the streamer’s upcoming rom-com “Just Picture It,” in which she stars and also produces, co-starring Gabrielle LaBelle. She’s also working on another Netflix project, “Nineteen Steps,” which will adapt Brown’s debut novel for the screen.
Spokespeople for Netflix and Brown declined to comment.
At the time, Knight — who created the boozy Netflix show starring the fast-rising Brit as an Irish brewery heir — had just been unveiled as the writer of the 26th James Bond film, being directed by Denis Villeneuve. It represents Amazon MGM Studio’s major reboot of the spy franchise after the company acquired creative control from Eon. Partridge, like any actor with his eyes on arguably cinema’s most coveted role, was understandably eager to show off his finest 007 moves.
Six months on and, whatever Partridge — also known for “Enola Holmes,” “Disclaimer,” Netflix’s upcoming “Pride & Prejudice” and a recent relationship with Olivia Rodrigo — did at the bar in front of Knight, rumors would suggest it paid off. Speculation has now reached Variety that he’s in contention for the job (and beyond simply being put on a bookmaker’s list)
Of course, as with almost anything regarding Hollywood’s most famous superspy that’s not come directly out of the mouths of its key creative team, it’s important to note that this is no more than speculation. Attempts to confirm with Partridge’s reps or Amazon MGM Studios have been as predictably futile as any Bond villain’s wildly-complicated plans for global domination.
The Partridge rumor does, however, align with widespread chatter that the incoming 007 will be much younger than previous Bonds. Following a (speculative, of course) report in Deadline earlier this year, the word “fresh-faced” has done the rounds, and many in the industry Variety has spoken to seem to be sure the age is being dialed down a few notches.
But just how fresh-faced are they going for? At 23-years-old, Partridge’s face is considerably fresher than that of every other name on the ever-evolving conveyor belt of likely candidates (a list currently led by Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Harris Dickinson). As many might note, he’s barely old enough to have developed a fussy preference over how his cocktails are mixed, let alone legally drink one.
Elordi, thought to have been a keen target for Amazon for some time, would already have been the youngest Bond at 28 years old. By contrast, Sean Connery was 32 when he started his tenure, Daniel Craig was 38, Pierce Brosnan was 42 and Roger Moore was 45 (and 57 when he signed off). Half a decade younger than Elordi, Partridge would throw the average down considerably more.
Turner — who recently shot to the bookies’ favorites following, yes, rumors — is 36, a good 13 years older. If the Bond team are considering someone as young as Partridge, is anyone in their mid-to-late 30s, or even in their 30s, off the menu? As one producer tells Variety: “Writing a film to be led by a 23-year-old is completely different to writing one for a 36-year-old — they’re just totally different.”
But an actor of Partridge’s age would offer producers some solid franchise longevity. Were he to do five to six Bond films over the next 15 or so years, he’d still be under 40 by the time he handed in his Walther PPK. With his star power still yet to hit A-list levels, he’d also be considerably less expensive than an Elordi or Taylor-Johnson.
If 23 is the rough age being considered, of known names, away from Partridge there’s a relatively small pool of British talent available (and reports earlier this year suggested Bond would be British). “Heartstopper” breakouts Kit Conner (22) and Joe Locke (23) would fit, as would Noah Jupe (21), riding a current wave thanks to the Oscar-winning “Hamnet” and the buzzy “Romeo and Juliet” West End stage production. But, unless they’re going for someone more unknown (a distinct possibility), that’s about it.
Again, this is mostly informed conjecture and nothing more than that. Never has there been a cinematic topic so fueled by speculation than who will next step into Craig’s blood-splattered 007 brogues (just ask Idris Elba, who has been batting off rumors for what feels like a lifetime).
And who started this particular bit of speculation? Could it have been someone in Partridge’s team or family? Riz Ahmed’s new semi-autobiographical satirical series “Bait” for Amazon that sees him play a struggling actor who seeks to boost his own Bond chances by ensuring he’s snapped by paparazzi leaving a (lousy) audition. Anything is possible.
Just to underline the how little we truly know about this, another name recently resurfaced in conversations as someone being “considered.” This time, it was 40-year-old James Norton.
Lionsgate has promoted Laurel Pecchia to the tole of senior vice president of corporate communications, Variety has learned.
In her role, she helps lead Lionsgate’s corporate media relations strategies and initiatives, executive communications, employee communications and preparation for quarterly Board of Directors presentations and earnings calls.
“Laurel is an exceptionally talented and versatile spokesperson whose responsibilities have expanded across the full range of our communications activities,” said Lionsgate chief communications officer Peter Wilkes. “She combines a strong grasp of our fast-changing business environment with a remarkable work ethic, and she is well liked and highly regarded by her Lionsgate and media colleagues alike.”
Pecchia works across Lionsgate’s motion picture and television groups. Her work involves the studio’s 20,000+ title library as well as communications for the studio’s AI, live and location-based entertainment, digital media, and 3 Arts talent management and production initiatives.
She originally joined Lionsgate in 2022 as vice president of corporate communications. Prior to her time at Lionsgate, she worked at WME, where she handled corporate and client media relations, wrote executive scripts and press releases and managed internal communications. Before that, she worked in publicity at CBS Films.
Lionsgate upcoming film slate includes the highly-anticipated Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” as well as “Mutiny” starring Jason Statham and “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.” On the TV side, the studio currently has shows on the air like the critically-acclaimed Hollywood satire “The Studio” at Apple TV, “The Hunting Wives” at Netflix, and the “Power” franchise at Starz.
“Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson focused much of the HBO series’ third season around Fezco, the character played by Angus Cloud, before the actor’s death from a fentanyl overdose in July 2023.
In an interview with the New York Times, Levinson spoke about a version of Season 3 that he wrote before the WGA strike began in May 2023. “Angus was the backbone of that season. I used to even talk to him about it because I wanted him to stay clean,” he said. “So I would invite him over and I’d tell him what the plans were for the character. I’d say, look, he’s been in prison for a few years, so you’ve got to get that yoked prison body. Because I wanted him to start working out and taking care of himself.”
Levinson also revealed that in his original scripts for Season 1, Fez died at the end, but he felt he “couldn’t do it,” saying that Cloud “needed something to look forward to or else he might get lost in the world.”
“And then when I was writing Season 2 and I got to the end, I thought, OK, I’m gonna have to do it this time: Fezco’s gonna die,” Levinson continued. “And as we got closer, I just couldn’t do it, especially with everything we’d gone through. I wanted him to have something to hold onto, a tangible goal for the future.”
At the red carpet premiere for Season 3, Levinson spoke to Variety about Cloud’s death. “Losing Angus was really hard for us as a production. I loved him very deeply,” he said. “I fought hard to keep them clean.” In the version of the the season that will premiere on Sunday, Levinson aimed to “keep [Cloud] alive” in the story, and wrote the episodes in honor of him.
