Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell Team Up for Action Comedy "Tough Guys"
Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell are in talks to star in and produce "Tough Guys," an action-comedy feature set up at Amazon MGM Studios.
Longtime Workin' Moms scribe Daniel Gold penned the script as a spec, which has the following logline: 'Fed up with being 'disposable,' two henchmen break free from the criminal underworld and rewrite the rules as they abandon their ruthless boss and dodge the elite assassin on their trail.'
Gosling helped bring Ferrell onto the project after becoming enamored with the script.
The Oscar-nominated actor is already a favorite at Amazon MGM Studios, which will release "Project Hail Marry" on March 20, 2026.
The sci-fi feature's first trailer arrived last week, ahead of a splashy Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con next week.
Ferrell, meanwhile, is also a fixture at the studio as the star of the recently released "You're Cordially Invited" and an upcoming Nicholas Stoller feature.
Gosling is in talks to produce "Tough Guys" with Jessie Henderson via their General Admission banner, while Ferrell is in negotiations to produce with Jessica Elbaum via Gloria Sanchez. Underground's Trevor Engelson and Aaron Folbe would executive produce.

Charli XCX Marries 1975's George Daniel in Intamite London Wedding
Yara Sameh Charli XCX and The 1975's George Daniel tied the knot in London on Saturday. Video footage shared on X captures the 32-year-old pop star, who donned a stunning wedding dress, and the 35-year-old drummer celebrating outside Hackney Town Hall, surrounded by close family and friends. For the occasion, the "Brat" hitmaker wore a white, off-the-shoulder silk gown in a shorter style rather than a traditional long dress. She styled her long hair down and completed the look with a flowing white veil. Daniel was dressed in a dark double-breasted suit paired with a light collared shirt. According to TMZ, the ceremony was an intimate affair with around 20 close family members and friends in attendance. Daniel's bandmates from The 1975 were reportedly present, except frontman Matty Healy. Charli XCX and Daniel began dating in 2022 and announced their engagement a year later. The couple made their relationship Instagram official in May 2022, following their collaboration on Charli's 2022 album, "Crash". Daniel also contributed production on tracks including 'In the City,' her duet with Sam Smith, and 'Hot Girl' for the "Bodies Bodies Bodies" soundtrack. The pop star took last summer by storm with the release of her sixth album, "Brat," her highest-charting album to date. From its meme-worthy lime-green cover to its surprising role in the 2024 U.S. presidential race, the project propelled her from cult favorite to bona fide pop A-lister. Following a successful tour in support of "Brat", Charli XCX has shifted her focus to onscreen opportunities, including a film she conceptualized for A24 titled "The Moment". She also recently lined up a gig to star in and produce the next movie from Japanese horror director Takashi Mike (Yakuza Apocalypse). read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs

Ahmed El Fishawy to Star in Film "Saffah Al-Tagamoa"
Yara Sameh Egyptian actor Ahmed El Fishawy is attached to star in the film "The Fifth Settlement Murderer" ("Saffah Al-Tagamoa"), where he plays Karim Selim, known in the media as the Saffah Al-Tagamoa. El Fishawy announced the news on social media, alongside sharing the poster of the film. "Wait for Karim in 'Saffah Al-Tagamoa," a film written and directed by Mohamed Salah Al-Azab and produced by Ahmed El Sobky," he wrote on Instagram . This is the second project to be developed about the murderer. In June 2024, Azab, the scribe of the crime TV series "Saffah Al Giza", is penning the series. The 8-episode show is produced by Ahmed El Sobky and has actor Hassan El Raddad lined up to take the lead role. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ahmad AlFishawy (@fishawyofficial) Dubbed "the Fifth Settlement Murderer", in connection with a luxurious gated community on the outskirts of Cairo where he lived and killed his victims, a 36-year-old man, named Karim Selim, holder of a US passport, admitted during interrogation that he killed an unidentified number of women, other than the three whose bodies were discovered earlier this month. In the following weeks, the bodies of the women were discovered separately, each unclothed in deserted areas in provinces outside Cairo, as their clothes were extracted in other faraway areas afterward. The autopsy reports suggest that the three women were killed by the same person, as all showed similar signs of torture, including strangulation and flogging wounds. The evidence against the perpetrator also included a fingerprint on one of the women's clothes. Laboratory tests of the components of their stomach and blood further indicated narcotics in their system. Following investigations and the examination of CCTV footage in the areas leading to the location of the bodies, security forces managed to identify and apprehend the suspect. The authorities confiscated two mobile phones and a laptop belonging to him on which he videotaped the incidents committed inside a soundproof room at his flat allocated for his practices. The videos in question showed him performing intercourse with his victims after they died. During interrogation, the suspect confessed that he knew his victims online, some of whom he claimed were courtesans. The suspect asked them to come over to his home ,where he performed unusual sexual activities with them before he forced the women to consume drugs and killed them. The suspect acquired a college degree from the most prestigious university in Egypt, the American University in Cairo, and had worked as a teacher at an international school before he quit his job. He created a TikTok channel where he taught American English. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
