Blumhouse Closes Deal For ‘Saw’ Rights; Lionsgate Still Retains 50% Stake In Horror Property

Blumhouse Closes Deal For ‘Saw’ Rights; Lionsgate Still Retains 50% Stake In Horror Property
Blumhouse, the powerhouse behind modern horror hits, has finalized a deal to acquire Twisted Pictures' stake in the Saw franchise rights—though Lionsgate still holds onto 50% ownership. This move effectively reunites Saw with its original creator, James Wan (now part of Blumhouse after Atomic Monster’s merger), sparking speculation about where the gory, twist-filled series could go next.
Editor’s Note: Horror fans might want to sharpen their excitement—this deal could mean fresh, Wan-infused life for Saw. Blumhouse’s track record (think Get Out, The Purge) suggests they’ll either revive the franchise creatively or milk it dry. Either way, it’s a big shake-up for a series that’s been dormant since Spiral. If Wan’s involved, expect more than just recycled traps—maybe a return to the grim, inventive roots that made the first film a cult hit.

Melissa Rauch Eulogizes ‘Night Court’ After Trying “Everything In Our Power” To Find NBC Show A New Home
negativeEntertainment
Melissa Rauch, star and executive producer of the Night Court revival, is saying goodbye to the show after NBC canceled it last month. In a heartfelt statement, she expressed how hard she and the team fought to keep the sitcom alive, trying "everything in our power" to find it a new home. The revival, which premiered in 2023, was a fresh take on the beloved 1980s series but couldn’t secure a future beyond its three-season run.
Editor’s Note: For fans of Night Court, this is a bittersweet moment—Rauch’s emotional farewell underscores how much the cast and crew believed in the revival, making its cancellation sting a little more. It’s also a reminder of how tough the TV landscape can be, even for reboots of nostalgic hits. If you were holding out hope for another season, well… time to pour one out for the courtroom comedy.

Sarah Jessica Parker Asks Why Fans “Judge Women” Characters For Mistakes But “Not Men”
negativeEntertainment
Sarah Jessica Parker, who's played Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw for decades, is pushing back on the way audiences scrutinize flawed female characters way more harshly than male ones. She pointed out how messy, imperfect women on screen often get ripped apart, while men in similar roles get a free pass—a double standard she’s clearly tired of seeing.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Carrie Bradshaw—it’s about how society still holds fictional women (and by extension, real ones) to unfair standards. Parker’s calling out a pattern we’ve all noticed: male characters can be chaotic, selfish, or downright terrible and still get labeled "complex," while women get branded "unlikable." It’s a reminder that even in entertainment, old biases stick around.

Sunjay Kapur funeral: Karisma's kids join in final tribute
negativeEntertainment
Industrialist Sunjay Kapur, who passed away last week at 53 from a reported heart attack, will be laid to rest today in New Delhi. His funeral is set for 5 PM at Lodhi Road Cremation Ground, followed by a prayer meet on June 22 at the Taj Palace Hotel. Notably, Karisma Kapoor’s children were seen paying their respects, adding a touch of Bollywood connection to the somber occasion.
Editor’s Note: Sunjay Kapur wasn’t just a businessman—his ties to high-profile circles, including Bollywood (he was once married to Karisma Kapoor), make his passing a notable moment for both corporate and entertainment spheres. The presence of his ex-wife’s family at the funeral underscores how personal and public lives often intertwine in India’s elite circles. It’s a reminder of how sudden loss can ripple through interconnected worlds.

‘The Pitt,’ ‘Nobody Wants This,’ ‘Only Murders in The Building’ Publicity Campaigns Win at 2025 TPEC Awards
positiveEntertainment
The 2025 TPEC Awards celebrated the best TV publicity campaigns, with shows like The Pitt, Nobody Wants This, and Only Murders in The Building taking home honors. Held in Los Angeles, the event also gave a lifetime achievement nod to CBS’s Chris Ender for his decades of work in TV communications. Think of it as the Oscars for the folks who make sure you want to watch these shows in the first place.
Editor’s Note: While awards for actors and directors get the spotlight, this is a reminder that behind-the-scenes teams—especially publicity wizards—play a huge role in shaping what we binge. Winning here means these campaigns cut through the noise of endless streaming options, and for industry folks, it’s a career-boosting badge of honor. Plus, honoring Ender nods to the unsung work of keeping TV in the cultural conversation.

Mammootty’s health- Brittas says actor doing well
positiveEntertainment
Good news for Mammootty fans—the legendary Malayalam actor is doing fine despite recent health rumors. Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas stepped in to clarify that Mammootty is simply dealing with a minor health issue and is under treatment. His team also shut down wild cancer speculations, explaining that he’s actually taking a personal break for Ramzan fasting and will be back to work soon.
Editor’s Note: When a beloved figure like Mammootty faces health rumors, it can spiral into unnecessary panic. This quick clarification matters because it reassures fans while pushing back against misinformation—something that spreads way too fast in today’s digital gossip mills. Plus, it’s a reminder that even megastars take breaks for personal reasons (like fasting), and that’s totally normal.
