Hollywood Hotline - Week of June 12, 2025
HOLLYWOOD HOTLINE Archives
Howdy Hotliners,
In the words of Falvor Flav, “DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!” L.A. is a beautiful city that is currently resisting the federal government’s ICE/National Guard/Marines deployment. We must unite and band together to stand up for our fellow friends and neighbors and local businesses. Stay safe out there! Spike Lee should reboot DO THE RIGHT THING (1989).
TOP STORY:
SPACEBALLS Told You They’d Be Back!
Better late than never? Legacy sequel sold past its prime. Can’t believe Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement for this!
Without further ado, let’s check the Hotline:
FUTURE FILMS:

Vincent Cassel To Play Quasimodo in HUNCHBACK 2025: TECHNO BELLZ
I’m just joking about the 2025: Techno Bellz part, although that would be a cool Gasper Noe type of movie.
Best Picture Winner CODA Director Casts Mark Ruffalo For Sit In
“BEING HEUMANN Heumann follows [Judy'] Heumann as she leads over a hundred disabled people to take over the San Francisco Federal Building, kicking off a 28-day sit-in in 1977. The protestors quickly form a tightly bound community, refusing to leave until the government enforces section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which required all federal spaces to become accessible. Ruffalo will play Joseph Califano.”
Sounds like another Best Picture contender.
Aaron Pierre & Margaret Qualley in Rachel Morrison’s New Film
Plot details under wraps but sounds sexy as hell!
“Like, for sure bra, I’m totally the director!”
“A24 has greenlit the science-fiction horror film THE BACKROOMS from filmmaker Kane Parsons. At 19 years old, Parsons is the youngest director in A24 history.Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve will lead the cast. Though the plot is being kept under wraps, “The Backrooms” is based on the world of Parsons’ viral YouTube horror universe. His anthological series debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date. Production on the film is expected to start this summer.”
19-yrs old, huh? Well kid, just remember this: it’s a short way up and a long way down.

I still need to see Season 1 with Jake Gyllenhaal. I’m way behind on a lot of shows.
TANGY THEATER:
“You do an eclectic celebration of the dance! You do Fosse! Fosse! Fosse! You do Martha Graham! Martha Graham! Martha Graham! Or Twyla! Twyla! Twyla! Or Michael Kidd! Michael Kidd! Michael Kidd! Michael Kidd! Or Madonna! Madonna! Madonna! But You keep it all inside.”
