Seemingly following in the footsteps of Disney, whose live-action remakes are now more frequent than their animated movies,DreamWorkshas decided to give us a live-action remake of one of its most famous series, How to Train Your Dragon. The live-action remake of the first movie is scheduled for a 2025 release, and we have recently received some new footage from the movie.

And while we could debate the purpose of such a live-action remake, it is happening, and there is not much we can do there.

The first visuals look pretty nice if you ask us, and we are sure that the film will retain some of the charm of the original animated series.

But, as you might have assumed, there are also some controversies surrounding the upcoming movie and the biggest one at this point is the casting ofNico Parker,daughter of actressThandiwe Newtonand filmmakerOl Parker,...

Gaga's involvement with the series was foreshadowed shortly after the first season, when a meme featuringJenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams dancing to a sped-up version of 2011'sBloody Marywent viral.

Ortegawould later state that she would love Gaga to be a part of the show while being interviewed at the 2023 Golden Globes.

Joker2 starLady Gagahas reportedly joined the already-impressive cast actors confirmed forNetflixshow’s second season of Wednesday.

The second season of Wednesday is on the way, and several talented new faces have already been added to the show’s roster to ensure that it builds on the success of its predecessor. We’ve already learned thatThandiwe NewtonandBillie Piperwill be joining the action, but according toEntertainment Weekly,Lady Gaga is now set to join the Wednesday ensemble too.

No details are forthcoming about the actor’s role, so we’re hoping this isn’t a blown-up story over a fleeting cameo. Given that Gaga has put in an award-winning turn on TV’s American Horror Story, not to mention starring inA Star Is Bornand this year’sJoker: Folie à Deux,we’re hoping the creatives behind the show have signed...

Season 1 ending up scoring 12 Emmy nominations, including forOrtegain Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, becoming just the third Latina to ever be nominated in a leading actress category. The series won four Emmys, though Ortega lost out to Abbott Elementary‘sQuinta Brunsonon Emmy night.

Paws up, Little Monsters —Lady Gagais about to take a walk on the creepy, kooky, mysterious, and indeed spooky side! Between the recent releases of both DC supervillain sequelJoker: Folie À Deuxand accompanying albumHarlequin,and the imminent drop of her seventh studio album this coming February, Gaga could've been forgiven for taking a brief sabbatical from the day job(s) to recharge her batteries.

Whilst details of Gaga's role in the upcoming second season of theAddams Familyspin-off show remain under wraps for the time being, Variety's sources suggest that her role will be more likely a cameo than a full-blown recurring thing — try as Netflix's production team may have to work out a bigger...

The behind-the-scenes video showed only slivers of glimpses into the show’s wicked return — and for good reason.Jenna Ortega,who plays the titular role, warned: “If we showed you any more, your eyes would bleed.” Fittingly, Wednesday has recruited a special guest with a long history of startling on-screen appearances: MotherMonsterherself,Lady Gaga.

According to Variety, the musician and actress will make a cameo appearance when the series makes its awaited return.

As Entertainment Weekly reports, Gaga's currently filming her scenes in Europe, where season 2 has been hard at work filming in Ireland.
