NCIS: Origins will tell the story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his start in the NCIS branch. Of course, Mark Harmon played Gibbs in the main NCIS series for 19 seasons. However, since Gibbs retired, he moved to Naktok Bay, Alaska, and that is where Harmon’s character has been all this time.
As for NCIS: Origins, here is what you can expect from Harmon in the new series.
Mark Harmon Only Voicing Series Narrator
Mark Harmon will serve in the same role in NCIS: Origins that Jim Parsons did in Young Sheldon. Harmon will executive produce the show, and he will serve as the faceless narrator (an older Gibbs recounting his youthful days). However, Harmon will not physically appear on screen in the new series.

Jamie Lee Curtis was born for the Hollywood life, given that she was the daughter of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. But being from a high-profile family also presents its own set of challenges. Something that even Lee Curtis was not immune to. Despite having the versatility to be an actor, she was constantly labeled a nepotism baby. But even this status couldn’t stop the actress from getting fired from the ABC show Operation Petticoat.

In her 47-year-long career and counting, she has played several iconic roles and does not intend to stop adding more under her belt. The True Lies actress was very eager to portray the role of Doctor Kureha in the widely acclaimed live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece.
However, in a tragic turn of events, that is no longer the case, and it has sent a temper tantrum in the fan community as they believed the 65-year-old actress to be the only one to play the role.

Manny Jacinto is looking back at his time on Top Gun: Maverick and saying he was not shocked his lines got cut from the film.
The actor stars in Disney+’s The Acolyte, but in 2018, he joined the film starring Tom Cruise and trained for months in actual fighter jets alongside his co-stars, like Glen Powell.
However, when the film was released in 2022, Jacinto was left without much screen time after most of his dialogue was left on the cutting room floor.
“It wasn’t shocking to me,” Jacinto told GQ in a new interview. “There was this sense of where the film was going [on set], like I can see them focusing the camera more on these [other] guys and not taking so much time on our scenes. Fortunately, it still was a great experience — you get to see this huge machine at work, see how Tom Cruise works, and you get...

Director Niclas Larsson didn’t hold back when he approached the reclusive Lara Flynn Boyle about appearing in his new film “Mother, Couch.”
“I needed someone for the character to be broken,” Larsson says. “Instead of faking a broken person, I did some research of who is really broken, and this is something I’ve been very open with Lara about.”
He continues, “I went back to the ‘90s. My mother was a hairdresser and always had all these celebrity magazines. Lara was on the cover throughout my whole childhood. Hollywood fucking raped her. That’s what they do with the starlets.”
Boyle, Ewan McGregor and Rhys Ifans star as siblings who reunite when their mother, played masterfully by Ellen Burstyn, sits on a couch in a furniture store and refuses to leave.
“I didn’t want any verbal characterization between the siblings telling the audience where Lara’s character comes from,...

Revenge director Coralie Fargeat’s new body horror satire, The Substance, screened at the Cannes Film Festival back in May to highly positive - and more than a little shocked - first reactions (see below), and the first trailer has now been released online.
The film focuses on an acclaimed actress turned celebrity host of a daytime exercise program (Demi Moore) who gets replaced by a younger star, sparking a confrontation between the two women that ultimately turns violent.
Specific plot details had been under wraps, but THR spilled a few beans in their coverage of the trailer.
It seems Moore's character, Elizabeth Sparkle, makes use of a secret cloning procedure and the titular substance known as Activator to produce a younger, more perfect version of herself, Sue, played by Margaret Qualley.

Mother, Couch filmmaker Niclas Larsson isn’t afraid to take big swings both personally and professionally.
As a teenager in Sweden, Larsson embarked on a five-hour train ride to a Stockholm hotel just so he could have a chance to meet one of his all-time favorite filmmakers, Gus Van Sant. After waiting around all night at a hotel bar, he eventually approached the Good Will Hunting director to praise his Palme d’Or-winning film, Elephant. Their subsequent exchange altered his perspective on filmmaking a great deal, but it also paved the way for Van Sant to eventually serve in a mentor-like capacity during post-production on Larsson’s feature directorial debut, Mother, Couch.
Larsson initially paid his dues as a child actor until a Ruben Östlund-involved short film whet his appetite for filmmaking. He then proceeded to make a series of acclaimed short films, music videos and commercials, including two shorts for Vogue,...

Lindsay Lohan recently told ABC’s “Nightline” that returning to the Disney lot to film “Freaky Friday 2” has her feeling like a little kid again as it’s the place where she filmed not only the original “Freaky Friday” but also some of her biggest hits, like her breakthrough role in 1998’s “The Parent Trap.” Lohan stayed in the Disney family in the years that followed with films such as “Life-Size” (2000), “Get a Clue” (2002) and more.
“I think really for me was when I went onto the Disney lot,” Lohan said. “And being back on the Disney lot because that’s not just ‘Freaky Friday’ for me.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about filmmakers! Not the films that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
Today, as a sort of B-Side to our own recent Bruce Willis B-Side episode, we speak to screenwriter Daniel Waters about Hudson Hawk! And much, much, much more!
Daniel and I talk about the overnight success of Heathers getting made, the overnight failure of Hudson Hawk, followed by the complicated reaction to Batman Returns. Oh, and what about the three seashells in Demolition Man?
We also discuss Renny Harlin and The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, that incredible Sandra Bullock performance, and his underseen directorial efforts (Happy Campers and Sex and Death 101).
Questions asked and answered include: what happened to all of the individual style in screenplays? Why does everybody save the cat these days? Is there a...

Mark Harmon may not be returning to the screen as NCIS’ Leroy Jethro Gibbs anytime soon, yet he is about to make a comeback with another iconic role.
After months of speculations and rumors circulating in the media, Freaky Friday 2, starring the same lead actresses Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, is officially in the works, with Mark Harmon also reprising his role as Ryan Coleman.
No further details about the upcoming sequel’s plot line have been revealed so far, though the previously shared rumor had it that this time a body swap would become a much more serious trouble for grown-up Anna and her teenage daughter that would potentially show up in the movie.

For years now, those who grew up on Lindsay Lohan’s classic films – read, younger millennials – have been waiting for her comeback to really pick up. From festive romcom Falling For Christmas, to less-festive romcom Irish Wish (plus a brief cameo in this year’s Mean Girls musical remake) she’s been slowly but surely returning to our screens. But if there’s one thing fans have wanted more than anything else, it’s this: a follow-up to Freaky Friday, reteaming her with Jamie Lee Curtis for more pop-punk-fuelled body-swap LOLs. And that is now officially happening.
As confirmed by Disney, the Freaky Friday sequel isn’t only real – it’s officially started shooting, with Lohan and Curtis both back in action. The news was confirmed with a set photo of the pair together, comically sitting on the steps of each others’ trailers (see what they did there?) and Curtis...

With the commencement of production on Freaky Friday 2, the long-awaited sequel to Disney’s 2003 body-swap classic, Disney has confirmed Sophia Hammons and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as two new additions, as well as the return of original cast members Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao.
Also confirmed today was the fact that the film will hit theaters nationwide in 2025, rather than going straight to Disney+.
Boasting a multigenerational twist, Freaky Friday 2 picks up years after mother and daughter Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured a body-swapping identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.

Jodie Foster, 61, recently opened up about a terrifying experience she encountered during her college years shortly after John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on then-President Ronald Reagan.
As many may recall, March 30, 1981, marked the day when Hinckley, aged 25, shot Reagan in Washington, D.C., reportedly in an attempt to impress Jodie Foster, who was an 18-year-old actress at the time. Hinckley was later acquitted based on mental illness and was committed to a hospital.
Following the attempted assassination, Jodie Foster said she experienced a "traumatic" experience at her college play when a man brought a gun into the theater.

Noah Schnapp was reportedly forced to leave a New York club after drinking too much and getting angry at other patrons who didn't want to drink with him because he was underage.
The actor has had his fair share of controversy, including accusations of saying the N-word and revealing his DMs with singer Doja Cat.
Schnapp also came under heavy scrutiny last year for his stance on the Israel-Hamas crisis, as he was very vocal about his support for Israel.
In January this year, Noah Schnapp addressed the matter and claimed that his "beliefs have been so far misconstrued."

Keith Kupferer, Katherine Mallen Kupferer and “Ghostlight” director Alex Thompson will reunite for a body swap comedy. Think “Freaky Friday” with an indie sensibility.
From “Heaven Can Wait” to “Big” and “The Hot Chick,” it’s a familiar genre. However, what makes this film unique is that it’s believed to be the first family body swap movie to star an actual parent and their child.
Keith and Katherine starred in Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan’s acclaimed Sundance movie “Ghostlight,” which opens this Friday in limited release by IFC Films and Sapan Studios. It continues its theatrical rollout throughout the summer. Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan will co-write the untitled film, with Thompson set to direct. Full plot details are being kept under wraps. However, the film is being likened to “Columbo” with a twist (we may have missed the episode where Peter Falk and a younger version of himself swap raincoats).

Chad Michael Murray is opening up about his private struggles with anxiety at the height of fame.
In the 2000s, Murray starred in Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill and played the romantic lead in A Cinderella Story and the Lindsay Lohan-, Jamie Lee Curtis-starrer Freaky Friday. In a new The Cut profile, the actor shared that, at the time, he was “far more fragile than I ever put on.”
“Everyone starts telling you ‘Yes’,” he said. “But I was walking around with a really pained heart.”
He recalled a moment when he was 23 years old, during which he had an event in Miami but couldn’t leave his hotel room. “The world felt like it was closing in; I was having anxiety attacks,” he explained in what The Cut says was the beginning of Murray’s experience with agoraphobia, or a fear of being in a place...

Revenge director Coralie Fargeat’s new body horror satire, The Substance, screened at the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend, and the reactions have been (mostly) very positive - although it sounds like the movie has its share of shocking moments.
The film focuses on an acclaimed actress turned celebrity host of a daytime exercise program (Demi Moore) who gets replaced by a younger star (Margaret Qualley), sparking a confrontation between the two women that ultimately turns violent.
The Substance reportedly features some pretty extreme gore, but the scene that's sparked the most discussion is a brutal fight between Moore and Qualley's characters - complete with graphic, full-frontal nudity.
“I had someone who was a great partner,” said Moore of her co-star. “We were obviously quite close at some moments… and naked. But there was also a levity [in shooting those scenes].”

Demi Moore is using her juiciest leading role in years to make a statement against the sexism of Hollywood.
Moore stars in Coralie Fargeat’s body horror Hollywood satire “The Substance,” which premiered in competition at Cannes to rave reviews. The actress plays an aging star who acquires a mysterious serum that births a younger, more ideal version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley. The two women are nude throughout the film, which shows the horrors of women going to extremes to preserve their self-image in Hollywood. Moore credited Qualley for being a “great partner” during a nude scene they share together.
“We were obviously quite close at some moments…and naked,” Moore said during the Cannes press conference (via The Hollywood Reporter). “But there was also a levity [in shooting those scenes].”
Moore explained that the gross-out horror feature, which debuted at Cannes Sunday night, undermines the “male perspective of the ideal woman” to a harrowing degree.

Certainly the grossest, most way-out-there, and dare-you-to-lose-your-dinner film to debut in the Cannes competition so far, Coralie Fargeat’s “Revenge” follow-up “The Substance” premiered in the Palais Sunday night after a morning press screening that saw plenty of expected walkouts. Surely the same volume of repulsed exiters carried over to the premiere public screening, where Greta Gerwig’s jury got their first glimpse of the otherwise since-secretive film whose synopses and press notes tell you little. Mubi has distribution rights, which the company purchased just before the festival started. IndieWire’s David Ehrlich calls it an “instant classic.”
In this audacious, two-plus-hour feminist body horror, Demi Moore bares all to play a once-decorated actress quote-unquote past her prime named Elisabeth Sparkle, now resigned to Jane Fonda-esque fitness videos. But her time is finally up. She’s fired for being too old, sent packing home back to her sparse LA apartment,...
