The Dave Bautista family comedy "My Spy" has been given yet another new theatrical release date of March 2020. The film was originally slated for a late 2019 release, but pushed back to January 2020. Promotional material notes the film, "follows JJ a hardened CIA operative (Dave Bautista) who has been demoted and finds himself at the mercy of a precocious 9-year-old girl, named Sophie (Chloe Coleman) where he has been sent undercover begrudgingly to surveil her family. When Sophie discovers hidden cameras in her apartment she uses her tech savviness to locate where the surveillance operation is set. In exchange for not blowing JJ's cover Sophie convinces him to spend time with her and teach her to be a spy. Despite his reluctance JJ finds he is no match for Sophie's disarming charm and wit." The film also features Kristen Schaal, Parisa Fitz-Henley and Ken Jeong. Bautista's last starring film, the R-rated action-comedy "Stuber" brought in $32.4 million at the box office off a budget of $16 million. The film's official website can be found at this link.
The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens will hold a rare screening of cult film My Breakfast with Blassie, starring Andy Kaufman and WWE Hall of Famer Freddie Blassie as they have a discussion over breakfast this Saturday 12/14 at 5PM EST. The film will be part of a program dedicated to Andy Kaufman, a New York native, titled I Trusted You: Andy Kaufman on the Edge of Performance. Official details on the program, which will feature appearances by Kaufman's brother and sister:
Andy Kaufman (1949–1984) claimed never to have told a joke. A performer working in the field of popular entertainment (on Taxi, Saturday Night Live, and more), he confounded audience expectations and challenged the traditional role of the comic. "I Trusted You: Andy Kaufman on the Edge of Performance" features famous and rarely seen clips of Kaufman’s comedy, his interventions on live television, the cult classic film My Breakfast with Blassie (1983), and will include members of Kaufman's immediate family speaking about his work from a personal perspective. This happening will also present live performances conceived by Andy Kaufman that few have ever seen. They will arise within public gallery spaces as well as in the Redstone Theater; true to Kaufman's spirit, the lines between intended and unintended, spontaneous and planned, will not always be clear.
