LEGO is helping you add a little nostalgia to your holiday season by way of a massive megastructure modeled after “Home Alone.” Released November 1, the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set features nearly 4,000 pieces, including tiny figurines of the main characters in the ‘90s classic about an 8-year-old boy who outsmarts burglars after his family accidentally leaves him home alone for Christmas. The LEGO Ideas Home Alone set is packed with details from the movie, such as the after-shave scene that left Kevin McCallister screaming in the bathroom, the robbers’ van, paint cans used to knock them down, Buzz’s pet tarantula, Kevin’s treehouse (zipline included), and everything you need to stage a fake Christmas party (like Kevin did in the film)....

In a new interview with Vulture, the “Armageddon Time” director explained he believes studio interference prevented the film from reaching its true potential. “It was kind of a perfect storm,” Gray said. “The birthing of it was so screwed up for reasons that had nothing to do with the movie.

“I wish I knew I was gonna do,” Kimmel said on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I have moments where I go, ‘I cannot do this anymore.’ And I have moments where I go, ‘What am I gonna do with my life if I’m not doing this anymore?’ It’s a very complicated thing. And there are practical considerations, and there are family and friend considerations and coworker considerations.” This is far from the first time the comedian has considered ending his ABC show....

The acting, writing, and producing multi-hyphenate may consider that just a “normal level of output,” but that may be because the actor has maintained a certain tenacity, telling IndieWire that he “fought like hell” to star in projects like “King Richard” and “We Own This City.” In a phone interview from his home in Ojai, California, Bernthal told IndieWire how neither he nor “King Richard” writer-director Green “knew anything about tennis, but we definitely knew that if we were going to do a tennis movie, we needed to get the tennis right....

Having enjoyed Campion’s moody and unpredictable “Top of the Lake” series, Greenwood was drawn to “The Power of the Dog” for her deconstruction of the western, set against the 1925 backdrop of a beautiful, inviting Montana landscape and a dark, oppressive ranch house. “I fancied working on something with the same complexity of tone, and the script for ‘Power of the Dog’ certainly promised that,” he told IndieWire via email. “Phil is both a brutal rancher and a thoughtful, artistic man....
