Yesterday brought word that Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson had met with the director of the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot, and now the ante is officially upped with the news that Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence has also had a recent meeting with filmmaker Paul Feig.

Lawrence mentioned her meeting with Feig during an interview with MTV UK, in which the cast of various 2014 films were asked who they’d like to see in a female-led reboot of the supernatural comedy series.

“I actually met with the director,” revealed Lawrence around the :37 mark in the video. “I had dinner with him.”

After being warned by her co-stars in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 not to “cross the streams,” Lawrence later admitted that she didn’t actually know there was a Ghostbusters 2.

“Are you serious?” she said (around the 1:51 mark) when told that the 1989 sequel to Ghostbusters starred the same set of leads as the 1984 original film. Although she may not have the Ghostbusters awareness that fans would like her to have, the plan to have the film be a total reboot of the franchise means she may not need it.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
