The studio landed the film pitch, still in early development, that has Will Speck and Josh Gordon attached to direct and produce. EGOT winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul will provide original music and produce via their Ampersand production banner. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the movie will feature a couple of original musical numbers in the vein of Barbie.

The Lucas Bros. (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Max Reisman are set to pen the screenplay about the game that is meant to mimic 19th-century pioneer times, following a covered wagon train heading west.

Speck, Gordon, Pasek, and Paul recently worked together on Sony feature Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. Speck and Gordon, repped by CAA and Sloane Offer, are also behind films Blades of Glory and Office Christmas Party.

Pasek and Paul recently earned an Emmy for their work on the last season of Only Murders in the Buidling.

The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity.

Comedy Central announced Monday that Stewart has signed an extension that will keep him as a once-a-week host and full-time executive producer of The Daily Show through December 2025. The news comes just over nine months after Stewart made a deal to return to the show he hosted from 1998-2015.

That initial deal had Stewart hosting the show once a week (usually Monday nights) through the presidential election. With Election Day looming (and Stewart set to host a live, hour-long special on Nov. 5), the extension will keep Stewart on The Daily Show through the first year of the next president’s term.

The third and final season of Good Omens, Prime Video's fantasy series adapted from the classic 1990 novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, will not be a full season after all, Deadline Hollywood reports. In the wake of allegations of sexual assault against Gaiman this summer, the streaming platform has decided that rather than a full slate of episodes, the series finale will be a single 90-minute episode—the equivalent of a TV movie.
