'Courage the Cowardly Dog' movie rumour debunked: no 2025 release in development
Speculation around a possible Courage the Cowardly Dog movie in 2025 has been circulating online, but there is no such project currently in development. The rumour began with an AI-generated post on Facebook, which has since spread widely across social media. The original animated series aired on Cartoon Network for three years and became one of its most recognisable titles. The show followed Courage, a timid dog living in a remote farmhouse in Kansas with his owners Muriel and Eustace, blending surreal comedy with moments of horror and emotion. The recent claim of a live-action adaptation was traced to a post by a Facebook page called Cine History. It included two AI-generated images and linked to a concept trailer uploaded by the YouTube channel Fandom Topics, which has been viewed more than 14,000 times. The post described the supposed film as a 'live-action horror-fantasy' that would turn the cartoon into a 'dark, atmospheric nightmare.' Despite attracting more than 46,000 reactions, 1,400 comments, and 8,000 shares, the story is not true. There are currently no official plans for a Courage the Cowardly Dog film in 2025. Talk of reviving the franchise has emerged before. In 2018, series creator John R. Dilworth revealed he was in discussions with Boomerang about a prequel project, though it did not move forward. In February 2024, he uploaded an animatic titled Goblins of Litter to YouTube, showing unused material. Fans did, however, see Courage return in 2021 with the crossover film Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog, which is available on HBO Max. For now, no further projects have been announced.

MrBeast launches prison survival challenge with cop and ex-prisoner competing for $500K
YouTube creator MrBeast has unveiled his latest large-scale social experiment, featuring a police officer and a former prisoner confined together in a purpose-built maximum security prison for 100 days. The pair stand to win $500,000 if they endure the full duration without quitting, but if either leaves early, neither receives the prize. MrBeast, whose real name is James Donaldson, explained that the prison was designed as a near-identical replica of a real facility, complete with cells, security doors, and solitary confinement. The former prisoner highlighted details of the set-up, noting that while the toilets were authentic, the conditions were in some ways better than those he had previously experienced, including thicker mattresses and pillows. The two participants were introduced only by their first names. Lenny, a police officer with 17 years of service, and Ian, who previously served three years in federal prison, provided contrasting perspectives on life inside. Lenny admitted he had never seen half a million dollars in his life, while Ian told MrBeast he owed that amount when he was released. The video follows the pair as they attempt to adapt to their environment, with moments of both tension and camaraderie. At one point Ian is placed in solitary confinement, while Lenny receives a visit from his partner and three children, adding a personal dimension to the challenge. Viewers have praised the concept for highlighting resilience and the human side of both experiences, while continuing MrBeast's trend of producing ambitious large-scale challenges that blur the line between entertainment and social experiment.
