We’ve seen other big-screen franchises make the leap to TV over the years, but could Fast & Furious be next?
While speaking with Variety, NBCUniversal Studio group chairman and chief content officer Donna Langley teased the future of the Fast & Furious franchise, saying there’s “still gas in the tank” even after the Fast X sequel hits theaters in 2026. Where the franchise goes from there is unclear, but Langley said, “We may pivot another time and bring it back to the streets of L.A. and maybe make it a more intimate story.” After mentioning previous NBCUniversal shows based on movies, such as Pitch Perfect and Ted, Langley said, “Fast and Furious is a good one” for a potential future TV series.

Paramount Global may be a direct competitor, but NBCUniversal Studio group chairman and chief content officer Donna Langley will be disappointed if the media giant goes away.
“It’s sad,” Langley said at the Kering Women in Motion talk at the Cannes Film Festival, noting that a sale of Paramount means there will be fewer Hollywood studios. “These companies have been great and I’m a big believer in this competitive landscape — kind of ‘all boats will rise. There’s enough to go around.’ I like having healthy competitors; it’s much more fun and interesting and it’s just best for the business.”
Paramount has been entertaining offers in recent months, with companies like Skydance and Sony circling the studio. Langley is hopeful that the deal will be finished by the end of the year. “It’s enough already reading about this,” she said. “No one really knows what’s happening.

What do Cannes competition films “Kinds of Kindness,” “American Horror Story,” “The Iron Claw,” “Hit Man” and “Pitch Perfect” have in common? These are just a smattering of the projects that have utilized Louisiana’s production resources over the decades thanks to the state’s robust incentive program.
In the early 1990s, the state recognized the power of Hollywood and started luring productions to the South with all it had to offer. The program was revitalized in 2002 and continues to grow, encompassing everything from pre- to post-production.
The dollars make sense in Louisiana. The state offers a base 25% production credit, with options to add on from there. A Louisiana-set screenplay nets 10% more credit, with 5% extra tacked on for filming outside of New Orleans. The incentives transfer to post-production, too, with an extra 5% if 50% of the VFX work is completed in state or there’s a $1 million spend. The current rates...

Looking back, can we imagine a bright-eyed Rebel Wilson stepping onto the set of Paul Feig’s 2011 comedy flick Bridesmaids, ready to dive into the challenging waters of Hollywood? Who could have predicted the bittersweet symphony that would follow her joy at receiving her first American paycheck?
Recently, this cheery Australian actress, known for her exceptional wit and comedic timing, humbly shared her success story and the financial struggle during the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. Despite being cast in a hit 2011 comedy that catapulted her into the spotlight, Wilson revealed that the joy was tempered by the harsh reality of a $3,500 salary being swallowed up almost entirely by SAG-AFTRA “union” dues.

After revealing in her memoir Rebel Rising that she only received $3,500 for Bridesmaids, Rebel Wilson has now shared that she lost money on the film because, in addition to having to spend part of her pay to join the Screen Actors Guild, she had to buy her own outfit for the Bridesmaids premiere.
“I basically made no money,” she said. “I lost money because I had to pay to go to the premiere, like to buy my dress and everything.”
Wilson then noted that she had to wait a year after filming to receive her paycheck for the Paul Feig-helmed comedy, which made her financial situation more difficult. “That was a really skint year where I was living on $60 a week in L.A. once I’d paid my rent and my car hire,” she recalled. “I wasn’t partying or living this [movie star] life.

Rebel Wilson is once again in the limelight with her recently released bombshell memoir, Rebel Rising. This is because the book reveals multiple secrets and allegations towards some of her fellow co-stars; all of which have pretty much caught the whole world in a storm. But of all the people, none has faced as brutal allegations as Sacha Baron Cohen.

That being said, the disturbing series of incidents she faced with Baron Cohen while shooting their first and last film together, The Brothers Grimsby, seem to be too harrowing for her, considering how Wilson has refused to work with Baron Cohen ever again, no matter the amount of money offered to her — even if they’re willing to pay her a billion dollars!

Rebel Wilson details how Hollywood’s pay scales can increase exponentially in her new memoir, Rebel Rising. The actress and comedian opens up about her salaries for Bridesmaids and the Pitch Perfect trilogy.
Wilson writes in the book that she was paid only $3,500 for 2011’s Bridesmaids, which starred Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy (Wilson played Brynn, the obnoxious roommate of Wiig’s Annie Walker). But the entirety of her small check went to Screen Actors Guild fees to join the union. Nevertheless, “that didn’t matter to me,” Wilson writes. “The experience was everything!”
Wilson notes she booked six new gigs within two weeks of Bridesmaids‘ release, one of which was the 2012 a cappella smash hit, Pitch Perfect.
“Boy, did that movie pay dividends!” Wilson writes, noting she was paid “SAG minimum scale, which was $65,000,” for the film. Pitch Perfect’s success spawned two sequels, in...

Type-casting acts as quicksand in the world of Hollywood. One minute, an actor picks up a role for the sake of making their name. All of a sudden, they find themselves being sucked into it, not being able to escape the clutches of the identity that is being forced on them. Many actors have become prey to it and very few have managed to survive.

Rebel Wilson writes in her new memoir “Rebel Rising” that she was able to successfully negotiate a $10 million salary to reprise the role of Fat Amy in “Pitch Perfect 3” (via People). The payday proved how much of a career Wilson built for herself over six years as she earned just $3,500 for her small breakthrough in 2011’s “Bridesmaids.”
The small “Bridesmaids” sum “didn’t matter to me,” Wilson writes. She took the role and didn’t think twice about the salary because the fee was enough to get her into the SAG-AFTRA union, which meant more opportunities in Hollywood. Wilson says she booked six movies after “Bridesmaids” opened in theaters, “one of which was ‘Pitch Perfect.’ Boy, did that movie pay dividends!”
In an interview with The New York Times about her memoir, Wilson was asked about her decision to write candidly about some of the salaries she earned during her acting career thus far.

Rebel Wilson has recently made a surprising revelation in an excerpt from her new mémoire, Rebel Rising. Explaining how she believes Adele doesn’t like her, Wilson claimed that perhaps the singer’s hatred towards her was because of the way people often confused them for one another back in the day when they had gained a bit of weight.
Rebel Wilson as Stephanie in Senior Year
According to an excerpt obtained by US Weekly, the Pitch Perfect actress asserted that a few celebrities often took offense at the term “plus-size”. Assuming that perhaps that’s why even Adele hated her, Rebel Wilson noted how the singer would allegedly “always quickly” turn away when they crossed paths at events.

Actress Rebel Wilson admitted to using Ozempic to help her lose 80 pounds but says she is no longer taking the drug. Ozempic is a type 2 diabetes drug that has recently begun trending on social media for weight loss.
Wilson told The Sunday Times, “Someone like me could have a bottomless appetite for sweets, so I think those drugs can be good.”
In 2020, Wilson underwent a complete health transformation after doctors told the actress she could face infertility due to her weight and polycystic ovarian syndrome, also known as Pcos.
Known for her comedic roles such as Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect film series, Wilson said about her weight loss, “People thought I’d lose my pigeonhole in my career, playing the fat funny character, and they wanted me to continue in that.”
Wilson and her partner Ramona Agruma welcomed a baby girl via surrogate in November 2022 named Royce Lillian.

Rebel Wilson says she made herself “ugly” in the early parts of her acting career because it was the best way to get comedic roles. Wilson also says she was “degraded” due to her appearance, and — at least once — her weight was literally a mandate for continued employment.
Wilson told The Sunday Times she had a contract clause for her breakout performance in the “Pitch Perfect” trilogy to not lose weight from 2012 to 2017. She played the character “Fat Amy” in the films. Wilson said the role, in part, led to her “deliberately making myself less attractive” to achieve success in comedy.
“I wanted to make something of myself, have a great career, and make a lot of money,” Wilson said. “I knew I wouldn’t be taken seriously like a Cate Blanchett or Nicole Kidman, but I quickly realized that the bigger you were, the more audiences laughed. So I...

“It felt like every time I’d speak to Sbc, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene, I was like, ‘Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha,'” recalled Wilson from her time on set with the multihyphenate.

Sacha Baron Cohen is not keeping mute on the “A–hole” name his “The Brother’s Grimsby” co-star Rebel Willson called him in her upcoming memoir “Rebel Rising.”
In case you’re wondering how Cohen became the“A–hole,” it all started with Wilson’s March 15 Instagram post in which she promoted her upcoming book.
In the post, Wilson shared with her followers how it was for her when she “first came to Hollywood.” She said, “People were like, ‘Yeah, I have a no-a–holes policy that means, like, I don’t work with a–holes.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I mean, that sounds sensible, logical.’”
She went on to add, “But then it really sunk in what they were meaning by that, older people in the industry. Because I worked with a massive a–hole, and, yeah, now I definitely have a no-a–holes policy chapter on said a–hole.
