Naughty Deadline reports Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage will star in Naughty, a “holiday comedy” from director Olivia Wilde. The story follows Mallory (Aniston), “whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus (Dinklage) and convince him to testify at her divorce hearing. The film feels like a perfect follow-up project for Wilde, who just showcased her skills as a comedy director with The Invite, one of the best-reviewed films of the year.” Fall 2: Deadpoint Another poster for Fall 2: Deadpoint heralds the new trailer coming sometime later today. Bury the Devil A nurse learns her dementia patient is under the thrall of a demon in the trailer for Bury the Devil, a real-time exorcism movie shot in a single, continuous take. Detective Agent Derek Deadline reports Hulu is developing Detective Agent Derek, a new animated series from Nick Kreiss, Julian Bonosconi, Griffin Poole, and Spencer Rich. Described as “a prestige cop show filtered through the internet’s weirdest subcultures,” the series is said to be “structured like a serious crime drama — tackling murders, conspiracies, criminal organizations — but the lens is warped: Derek is a nunchuck-wielding, anime-obsessed neckbeard who should never be taken seriously… and yet the world treats him as an alpha savior.”
