With production shut, Netflix opted to acquire the world rights to the film based on the script and four-minute promo reel. 

The film stars Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd, and Kevin Kline. There’s also an ensemble cast that includes Daveed Diggs, Loretta Devine, and Timothy Olyphant.

In The Starling, a married couple tries to rebuild their relationship after suffering a tragedy. While the husband (O’Dowd) heads off to deal with his grief in recovery, the wife (McCarthy) tries to heal in the real world. After she grows a beautiful garden in their backyard, she finds herself repeatedly attacked by a starling. She then turns to a psychiatrist-turned-veterinarian with baggage all his own (Kline) who tries to help her with her bird problem and ends up making a larger impact on her life.

Multiple outlets report that the 48-year-old actress could be going under the sea for the Rob Marshall-directed live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. Marshall also helmed Mary Poppins Returns. 

According to Variety, which was first to report the news, the deal is not yet completed, but McCarthy’s Ursula could be just what the film’s creative team is looking for in its contemporary reimagining of the iconic story. 

Marshall is directing from a script by David Magee. The film will feature new songs (alongside the originals, of course) by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Miranda is also producing along with Marshall, Marc Platt and John DeLuca.

Disney’s latest live-action remake was Aladdin, which grossed $820 million worldwide. The live-action remake of the highly-anticipated The Lion King is set to debut in theaters on July 19th.

Multiple outlets confirm that Melissa McCarthy has been set to replace Harvey as the host of the unscripted talent competition for kids. The series, which hails from Warner Horizon Television and Ellen DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production banner is set to return to NBC for its fourth season. 

“Melissa’s just an incredible performer and incredible comedian,” NBC’s co-chairman of entertainment Paul Telegdy said in a statement. He continued saying that McCarthy “will bring a completely fresh perspective to it. Melissa is a strong creative force with her own ideas. Changes will be apparent.”

“Shows always go through an evolution and I know Meredith and the team in our Alternative division will come up with all sorts of fun ways to evolve the creative of the show because we feel that Melissa is a strong creative force with her own ideas about what the show should look like and changes will be apparent,” Telegdy added. 

A date for the series’ return has not been announced.
