Deep Inside Hollywood: Sean Hayes’ Drag Race

Sean Hayes’ Drag Race

It’s a comedy tradition, the man in a dress. Milton Berle, Tyler Perry, Tom Hanks, Martin Lawrence, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Eddie Murphy have all done it to great success. Adam Sandler has, too, but we’re trying to forget about that. Now it’s Sean Hayes’ turn in an indie comedy called Lazy Susan. Co-written by Hayes, Darlene Hunt (The Big C), and Carrie Aizley (Transparent), it’s about a woman named Susan – that’s Hayes – with a lot of problems, including a lack of motivation to solve those problems. It co-stars Aizley, Margo Martindale, Jim Rash, Matthew Broderick and Allison Janney. These are, to a person, comedy names we trust, but still we have no idea if the final product will work in the tradition of Some Like It Hot or crash and burn like Jack and Jill (that’s the Sandler one, and it hurts to even type out the title). For now we trust and hope and wait and watch some reruns of Trixie & Katya to keep our enthusiasm stoked.

Tessa Thompson Spins Off

Tessa Thompson is tearing up movie screens this summer in Sorry to Bother You as the woman with the world’s most anarchic earrings. And if you think you’ve seen her before, it’s because she’s spent 13 years working regularly in film and TV: on Westworld, in Dear White People, Thor: Ragnarok, and, most recently, that Janelle Monae video that spawned all the rumors of their now-confirmed-now-denied romantic relationship (both women recently came out but are still keeping their private details private, so we’re happy to give them their space). Now all those years of dues-paying has yet another franchise opportunity, this time outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Thompson will play a lead role in next year’s Men In Black spin-off film (as yet untitled). Director F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) has taken on helming duties, and Thompson’s co-stars include Chris Hemsworth, Rafe Spall, Liam Neeson and Kumail Nanjiani. No story details yet – they’re rightly keeping everything under wraps — but you’ll know everything you need to know come summer of 2019.
