Ben Stiller is working on a documentary about the New York Knicks.

The actor opened up about what he called a "dream project" in a new interview.

"Couldn’t be more excited to make this doc with @A24 and @HBO about the NY KNICKS!!!!!! #LETSGOKNICKS," the actor and director wrote in an X post Wednesday.

The Knicks' hometown held a ticker-tape parade on Thursday to celebrate their first NBA championship since 1973 last weekend.

Stiller, a Knicks fan, has been seen recording video footage with an iPhone courtside at recent games and throughout the last season.

He discussed the project with Knicks captain and MVP Jalen Brunson, Knicks guard Josh Hart and their co-host Matt Hillman on the latest Roommates Show podcast.

"We are officially making a documentary about the New York Knicks for HBO, and doing it with A24, and full cooperation of [Madison Square Garden] and NBA," Stiller said.

"Obviously, I've been shooting some stuff on my phone but it's kind of gonna be about all eras of the Knicks and this team, obviously, you know, there's a culmination here of something that has been going on for a long time," Stiller continued. "It's super exciting."

Stiller said he plans on filming more footage, including interviews with Knicks players, in the next Knicks season as well.

"There's so many great eras. And this team, I think, you know, when you look at the '70s championships, the '90s runs and then this team doing it again, I think there's just so much within that," said Stiller, adding that he wants to make a doc "for the fans."

A24 also confirmed to ABC News Wednesday that a "landmark" documentary about the Knicks and their legacy is in progress and the "multi-part series" will cover the NBA team's culture and history.

"The series will trace the full arc of the franchise from the 90s to the improbable, record-breaking run that finally returned a championship to New York. The series is expected to offer unprecedented NBA access, never-before-seen footage, and a definitive look at one of basketball's most iconic stories," said the production company.

Returning to the show are series regulars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant, Austin North and Fiona Palomo. J. Anthony Crane and Cullen Moss have also been upped to series regulars for the final season.

This new season finds the Pogues "at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco. Stranded far from home and mourning the heart of their crew, they’ve lost the Blue Crown and continue to face a gauntlet of familiar threats," according to its official description. "With Chandler Groff still at large, Dalia and the Corsairs closing in, and the Kooks ensuring the Pogues have no home to return to, John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo must rely on their scrappy instincts—and an uneasy alliance with Rafe—to keep from falling apart for good."

This new mission is now a race to "reclaim their future and finally win the freedom they’ve been chasing since the beginning," the description continues. "It’s the Pogues against the world as they seek to avenge their best friend and bring it on home…one final time."

The teaser trailer finds the crew reeling after the death of their friend JJ.

"I saw what he did to JJ. And he knows I'm not letting it go," Bailey's Kiara says, before Cline's Sarah Cameron says, "If you're on the bottom, you have to risk everything."

Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke are the creators of Outer Banks. Season 5 consists of 10 hourlong episodes.

The longtime Jimmy Kimmel Live! personality has officially joined season 35 of Dancing with the Stars as a celebrity contestant.

The announcement was made Wednesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, making Rodriguez the latest star revealed for the upcoming season.

Rodriguez has become a familiar face to television audiences through his work alongside Jimmy Kimmel.

Over the years, Rodriguez has become one of the show's most recognizable personalities, appearing in countless comedy bits, celebrity interviews and his signature segment, "Guillermo's Hollywood Roundup."

'Leviticus' director, star talk mixing horror with romance

Horror is the hottest ticket at the box office this summer, with films like Backrooms and Obsession finding success in the theaters. Joining that wave of buzzy new films in the genre is the Australian horror romance Leviticus.

Written and directed by Adrian Chiarella in his feature debut, the film tackles themes of homophobia through a supernatural lens.

“What if there was some ritual that put some seed of fear inside of its victims to make them scared of their own desires? And that's where I came up with this idea of a horror movie monster or an entity that looks like the person you're most attracted to,” Chiarella tells ABC Audio of the film’s premise.

He adds, “And once I had that, I thought, well, now I've got a horror movie, but I really want to focus on this other thing that I'm interested in, which is the love story.”

Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen star as Naim and Ryan, the two teenage boys at the center of the love story who are each forced to undergo a ritual in their devoutly Christian community with the aim of scaring them straight.

“I think the love story has to work for the horror to work,” Bird says. “Because I think you've got to care about these characters and care about this relationship.”

The film was an early success at Sundance and SXSW, and reviews have been drawing comparisons to the queer hockey romance series Heated Rivalry – with one Letterboxd review dubbing it “Haunted Rivalry.” Chiarella and Bird say they appreciate being mentioned alongside an impactful piece of media.

“They're two very different things, I think, but it is exciting that there's this kind of ecosystem of queer stories that exists and that can sort of allow audiences to keep the conversation going,” Chiarella says. 

Leviticus hits theaters Friday.

Zendaya, Tom Holland appear in new 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' trailer

Film still from 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.' (Sony Pictures)

A new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is here.

Ahead of the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed film's theatrical release on July 31, a new trailer dropped on Wednesday featuring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, Zendaya as MJ and more.

The new trailer sees Holland entering the Spider-Verse again, and this time, he's spinning out of control in the aftermath of 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, when he asked Doctor Strange for a spell to make the world forget he's Spidey after his secret identity was exposed.

Brand New Day follows Peter as he fights crime full-time as Spider-Man "in a world that doesn't remember him," according to the synopsis for the film.

"The pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him -- sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control," the synopsis adds. "But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves -- a powerful villain no one can even see."

The synopsis continues, "The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn't forgotten them."

The film also sees the return of familiar Marvel faces Jon Bernthal as Punisher and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. We also get Jacob Batalon as Peter's pal Ned and Michael Mando as villain Scorpion, with Sadie Sink and Tramell Tillman joining as new characters.

The press tour for the new film also began this week with Zendaya and Holland stepping out together in Madrid during a photo call for the film.

Brand New Day is the fourth Spidey solo adventure starring Holland after 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home. It's the 38th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."

Olivia Wilde still 'doesn't understand' why relationship with Harry Styles 'really did upset people'

Over three years after their breakup, Harry Styles' former girlfriend Olivia Wilde is addressing the fact that their relationship really made fans angry.

While appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked the director and actress why she thought her romance with Harry was so "triggering." "It really did upset people," Olivia said, referring to the fact that she's 10 years older than Harry.

"It was crazy, I don’t know how much I understand it yet. That’s one of the factors that I never really felt I like fully … I don’t know," she said. "I mean, I know that it has existed for a very long time in our society. I understand it had very little to do with me. It is something that we have ... done ... to women for a long time. Why is it? I don't know. People were f****** pissed.”

Olivia also chalked it up to the "kind of parasocial relationship people have" with Harry, adding that it's a "burden" that he "carries ... with grace."

She added, "It's wild because, I mean, we had the loveliest relationship. Like so, so sweet and so beautiful and like, really, actually, very domestic and kind and lovely." She noted that she and Harry "existed in this little bubble" where they weren't affected by the negativity.

But, she acknowledged, "It's almost like the happiness made them mad." She recalled how people would criticize her for attending his shows and dancing. 

Olivia and Harry started dating while he was starring in her movie Don't Worry Darling. They split in late 2022. Harry is now allegedly engaged to Zoë Kravitz, but neither Harry nor Zoë has confirmed that.

Sandra Oh is in talks to team up with the filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The actress is being eyed to star opposite Matt Damon in Universal Pictures' upcoming, untitled event film from directors Daniels, ABC Audio has learned.

Universal Pictures had no comment when reached by ABC Audio.

Damon replaced Ryan Gosling in the project back in May. Gosling was announced to star in the film in March, although he dropped out of the project in April due to scheduling reasons.

This upcoming event film marks the first directing project for Daniels, the filmmaking duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, since sweeping the 95th Oscars in 2023 for their groundbreaking film Everything Everywhere All at Once. That movie walked away with seven Oscars, including best picture, best actress, best supporting actor, best director and best supporting actress.

While plot details of the upcoming film remain under wraps, production on the project is expected to start in Los Angeles in the summer.

Kwan, Scheinert and Jonathan Wang will produce the movie through their Playgrounds overall deal with Universal Pictures.

The currently untitled film will release in theaters on Nov. 29, 2027.

Mike Myers says there will be an 'Austin Powers 4'

Groovy, baby!

Mike Myers says there will be a fourth film in the Austin Powers franchise.

The actor seemingly announced the news after he was asked if another film in the franchise was in the works during Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party on Tuesday. Noah posted a clip of the moment to his Instagram.

When Noah asked Myers if fans were ever going to see a fourth film, he simply answered, "Yes." There was no further elaboration from the actor.

"Wow, that was a quick yes," Noah said in response.

"Did Mike Myers just casually reveal Austin Powers 4?!" Noah captioned his post.

The first film in the Austin Powers franchise, International Man of Mystery, was released in 1997. It was followed by its sequel, The Spy Who Shagged Me, in 1999. The third movie, Goldmember, debuted to theaters in 2002. 

This would make a potential fourth Austin Powers movie the first in over 20 years. Jay Roach directed all three of the previous films.

Shrek, Fiona and Donkey are returning to the land of Far Far Away for another adventure.

The trailer for DreamWorks Animation's Shrek 5 has been released, nearly a year ahead of its release to theaters on June 30, 2027.

“Shrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends off on another whirlwind big city adventure,” Donkey, voiced by Eddie Murphy, says in the clip.

Shrek (Mike Myers) reluctantly teams up with his old pal, as well as his wife Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and their two sons Fergus and Farkle, voiced by Marcello Hernández and Skyler Gisondo. It’s unclear where the adventure is taking them, but at some point they all end up in jail.

The trailer ends with Donkey badly singing the 1977 song "Baby Come Back" to the annoyance of his ogre cellmates.

Zendaya voices Shrek and Fiona’s teenage daughter Felicia, but the character does not appear in the trailer.

The first Shrek film was released in 2001. It was the first-ever winner of the best animated feature Academy Award. Its three sequels were subsequently released in 2004, 2007 and 2010.

Tom Holland seemingly confirms wedding to Zendaya already happened

Tom Holland has seemingly confirmed what has long been speculated: that he and Zendaya are already married.

In an interview with Esquire, the Spider-Man: Brand New Day star was asked about the AI images that circulated purporting to be from their wedding. He said the images confused his granny, who thought she hadn’t been invited.

The reporter then asked whether he had to reach out to other family members to explain the photos, to which he paused then replied, “No, because they were all there.”

When the reporter said they didn’t realize the wedding had happened already, Holland firmly responded, “That’s all you’ll get on that.”

Before this, the closest the public got to a confirmation was Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach telling Access Hollywood at the 2026 Actor Awards that the "wedding has already happened. You missed it."

When asked by a reporter if that was true, Roach replied, "It's very true."

ABC News reached out to a representative for Holland and Zendaya at the time.

Holland and Zendaya are set to star together in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey this year.

A Love Island USA executive producer has died during production on the reality dating show's eighth season.

Peacock said in a press release Monday that executive producer James Barker died last week in Fiji, where the reality show is currently being filmed, "after suffering an unexpected medical emergency."

"James' unimaginable loss has been deeply felt across not just the entire 'Love Island USA' production, but throughout all of ITV and Peacock," Peacock and ITV America, which produces the reality series, said in a joint statement. "He was a beloved and greatly valued member of our collective family whose kindness, talent and dedication left an indelible mark on all of us and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. We extend our heartfelt condolences to James' partner, family, friends and colleagues."

Peacock and ITV America said that Barker will be honored on Tuesday's episode of Love Island USA.

According to the press release, Barker started his television career in 2011 at Leftfield Pictures, where he was a producer on shows including Counting Cars, Forged in Fire and Pawn Stars. He also produced Queer Eye while working for ITV America.

Barker started working on Love Island USA in 2020 as a story producer and worked his way up to executive producer, according to the press release. He went on to produce numerous seasons of Love Island USA and Love Island Games.

Outside of television, Peacock and ITV America said Barker was passionate about music and "spent 20 years DJ'ing across the country building a dedicated following of fans."

Barker is survived by his partner, Adam, whom he met at one of his shows, according to Monday's press release.

Love Island USA season 8 kicked off June 2 with Ariana Madix returning as host. New episodes arrive daily, except on Wednesdays.
