West Side Story is being remade by genre-spanning movie megalodon Steven Spielberg.

The Jaws director has never made a musical before, but presumably he does know a lot about Sharks so he must be the man for the job.

He certainly thinks so. The 69-year-old, whose current project is The BFG, has controlled the rights to the remake of the 1961 movie for 15 years and has longed to do it ‘for decades’.

Spielberg told The Hollywood Reporter that Angels in America playwright Tony Kushner is working the script, and that the film will be a co-production between Fox and MGM.

Leonardo DiCaprio may face questions in court about what happened on the set of The Wolf Of Wall Street.

It has been ruled that the 2013 movie’s star can be called up in a case relating to defamation, despite DiCaprio’s lawyers opposing the deposition request because he did not write or direct the movie.

Investment banker Andrew Greene is suing Paramount and others for about £35million – as he claims a minor character called Nicky ‘Rugrat’ Koskof, who engages in illegal and morally questionable acts, was based on him and defames him.

Paul Feig’s all-female reboot of Ghostbusters has caused a torrent of online hatred ever since the idea was first proposed, but stars Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig have seemingly concocted a cover of the classic theme song designed to ‘enrage men’ irritated by the reboot.

And what kind of cover is it, you ask? It’s a ‘folk lady version’ and it’s pretty splendid.

The Lego Movie 2, which was originally scheduled to be released on May 18th 2018, has now been pushed back a whole nine months to February 8, 2019 – and frankly, we’re absolutely livid.

A reason for the delay has not been clarified, but following how excellent the original was – we can only assume the ‘awesome’ dial wasn’t quite up to snuff.

But now, YouTube genius The Unusual Suspect has made ANOTHER mashup, and this time it’s Star Wars that gets the Suicide Squad treatment.

This time around, it’s all based on the second trailer, which means that we get the brilliant sight of the Millennium Falcon going into hyperdrive while Grace’s You Don’t Know Me plays out.

A talented artist called Babak Ganjei was inspired enough by this idea to paint several living rooms from his favourite funny shows and films.
