Geek Tyrant08-05-2025
Ben Foster ( Hell or High Water , 3:10 to Yuma ), Manny Jacinto ( The Good Place , Freakier Friday ), and Fiona Shaw ( Bad Sisters ) have signed on to star in the upcoming film The Stalemate , an absurdist Western comedy from first-time feature filmmaker Nicholas Arioli, who's directing from his own script. Currently in production in Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Stalemate focuses on a robber (Jacinto) and sheriff (Foster) who, out of bullets and far from town, must negotiate their way out of an absurd, unending chase in the Old West.
'I spent many years writing this completely absurd movie,' Arioli said, 'and I'm honored to work with such an incredible team who are as excited as I am to bring it to life. The Stalemate is part wacky buddy comedy, part poignant Western elegy – and just straight up a ton of fun. We can't wait to share it!'
In the meantime, Foster will next be seen starring opposite Sydney Sweeney in David Michôd's biopic on boxer Christy Martin. Recently, he wrapped shooting Motor City opposite Shailene Woodley.
Jacinto most recently starred in Disney+'s Star Wars series The Acolyte from Leslye Headland. Upcoming, he'll be seen starring opposite Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday , which hits theaters on August 8, and in the indie rom-com Love Language .
Recently seen starring in John Krasinski's IF , as well as the hit series Bad Sisters (Apple) and True Detective: Night Country (HBO), Shaw will be seen in a pair of films releasing later this year: Hot Milk , directed by Rebecca Lenkiewizc, and Apple's Echo Valley , opposite Julianne Moore and Sweeney.

Bill Maher slams woke mob over Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy

HBO 'Real Time' host Bill Maher ripped into the woke mob for branding actress Sydney Sweeney a Nazi — all because she joked about having 'great jeans' in a new American Eagle ad. 'In other uncomfortable racial news, sad news, we found out this week that Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi,' the late night funny quipped Friday night. 'No she's not, but you've seen the ad … This a very important ad that we're seeing now, there she is dressed like Jay Leno in all blue denim.' HBO 'Real Time' host Bill Maher slammed the woke mob Friday for claiming actress Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi — because she boasted about having 'great jeans' in an American Eagle ad. AP 'And she talks about the fact that she has blue eyes and then says she has great jeans, you know, because she's wearing jeans!' goofed Maher, referring to the ad's pun of the word 'genes' made by the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 27-year-old Euphoria star. 'But according to the woke people this means she's a white supremacist.' Actress Sydney Sweeney shows off her 'great' jeans in American Eagle ad. American Eagle Then Maher landed a savage blow. 'It also doesn't help that her bra size is 36KKK and that the name she gave her tits is the 'Proud Boys,'' he said. 'I also like it's pretty funny that all the online social justice girls are like 'it's racist, there is no such thing as good genes. Right, and then you go on Tinder and swipe left on every bald guy.' American Eagle's stock rose more than 10% immediately after Sweeney's campaign launched July 23. The White Lotus actress has yet to respond to the backlash caused by the new 'Great Jeans' campaign.

And Just Like That Ending After Season 3

Originally appeared on E! Online And Just Like That…the world is saying goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw. Series creator, Michael Patrick King revealed the Sex And The City spin-off starring —which premiered on HBO Max in 2021—will end after the current third season in a two-part finale, bringing the total episode count to 12. 'And just like that…the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end,' Michael said in an Aug 1 Instagram post. 'While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That…season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.' Michael explained why he, Sarah—who has played Carrie since 1998—and other showrunners waited until mid-season to share the shocking news. 'SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season,' he added. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.' More from E!
