'Bend It Like Beckham' sequel in the works, director Gurinder Chadha confirms: What we know so far
The announcement comes 23 years after the first film hit theaters. Yes, you did read that correctly: Bend It Like Beckham is getting a sequel. Two decades after Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley charmed audiences with their portrayals of teammates turned bestie footballers in West London, the film's director and cowriter, Gurinder Chadha, has confirmed that a second installment is officially in the works. Released in 2002, Bend It Like Beckham quickly became a cultural phenomenon. With Nagra as its lead, 18-year-old Jasminder 'Jess' Bhamra, the film functioned as a sort of love letter to football-obsessed England. It offered a thoughtful depiction of a young girl's dream of making it big in a male-dominated field, while also showcasing the realities of growing up in a traditional Sikh household and coming of age in the Indo-British diaspora. 'Let's hope we can bring back that same joy and feel good about putting women and girls on the map like we did 23 years ago,' Chadha told Deadline this week. From Chadha's confirmation to whether the original cast will be returning, here's everything we know (so far!) about the Bend It Like Beckham sequel. When was the sequel confirmed? Deadline broke the news on July 26 that a Bend It Like Beckham sequel is underway. Chadha was in Basel, Switzerland, at the time, for the Women's European Championship final, where the England women's soccer team won gold. The London filmmaker said her desire to bring a second Beckham film installment to fruition was influenced, in part, by the increased interest in women's soccer across the globe. 'Women's football is more competitive, more exciting, and more global than ever,' she told Deadline. 'It is an honor for me to be a small part of it.' Chadha said she hadn't wanted to revisit the Bend It Like Beckham world until she came up with a good enough story that warranted it — which, she says she did 'just about a month ago.' Now, Chadha and her husband, Paul Mayeda Berges (with whom she cowrote the original), are working on the script. Chadha says she's also working 'collaboratively' with Emma Hayes, the new head coach of the U.S. women's national soccer team, to help bring the project to life. 'I'm excited to revisit the original characters and revive the enduring story and build on the legacy we helped to create for the women's game,' Chadha said. Is the original cast returning? Nagra and Knightley lit up the screen as costars back in the day, with some fans even hoping that their onscreen characters would turn out to be each other's romantic interests (they didn't, alas). Chadha told Deadline that Nagra, Knightley, Archie Panjabi, Juliet Stevenson and other members of the original cast 'are aware that a sequel is being developed,' but they'll want to see a script before they actually commit. 'Everything hinges on the script and if the original cast likes it,' she said. 'I am working really hard to make sure every character I bring back has a decent arc and scenes.' Original Bend It Like Beckham cast members haven't spoken out about the news of the sequel yet. Knightley, however, previously shared her support for a follow-up to the original that explores a lesbian love story between Jess and Jules. 'F*** yeah! That would've been amazing. I think they should've been too,' Knightley told Pride Source in 2018. 'I think that would've been great. We need a sequel.' When can we see 'Bend It Like Beckham 2'? The goal, Chadha told Deadline, is to have the sequel ready for the original film's 25th anniversary in 2027, the same year that the FIFA Women's World Cup tournament is set to kick off in Brazil.

How ‘The Naked Gun' reboot mocks former star O.J. Simpson
The gloves are off. The new 'Naked Gun' reboot, which opens in theaters Friday, doesn't shy away from the franchise's most controversial cast member: O.J. Simpson. For three movies of the 1980s and '90s police spoof series, Simpson, who died in 2024 at age 76, played Officer Nordberg. The fourth flick, starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, acknowledges — and mocks — Simpson's 'Naked Gun' history. 3 O.J. Simpson starred in three 'Naked Gun' films with Leslie Nielsen (center) during the 1980s and '90s. ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Coll In an early scene, Neeson, who plays Lt. Frank Drebin, Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen's 'Police Squad' character, emotionally speaks to a photo of Nielsen hanging on the station's wall. 'Hi, Dad,' the 'Taken' star begins. Then the camera pans out to reveal a long line of other officers opening up to pictures of their own fathers — including Simpson's Nordberg. 'Hi, pops,' says actor Moses Jones as Nordberg, Jr. to Simpson's mug. After a beat, Jones comically looks directly into the camera, shakes his head back and forth and makes a 'nuh-uh' noise. 3 Liam Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin, Jr. AP Better known as a football player who played nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Simpson also had a modest acting career. He appeared in 'The Towering Inferno' with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen and on an episode of the miniseries 'Roots,' among other titles. But his biggest part was as Nordberg in the 'Naked Gun' trilogy. In fact, his last outing on the big screen, 'Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult,' hit theaters just three months before he was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in Los Angeles, California. Simpson was acquitted in criminal court in 1995, but was found liable for their deaths during a civil trial in 1997. 3 Simpson attended the premiere of 'Naked Gun 33 1/2: The Final Insult' with ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. Getty Images He would notch one more acting credit — filmed before the murders and ensuing trial — in Disney's TV series 'Adventures in Wonderland.' However, Simpson's episode, called 'White Rabbits Can't Jump,' was pulled from the air. And it is the sole 'Wonderland' chapter that's not available on Disney+. Simpson died of prostate cancer in 2004 while he was living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
