Chris Bremner Will Write Paramount’s M.A.S.K. Film

Chris Bremner Will Write Paramount’s M.A.S.K. Film

Paramount has finally taken another step toward getting its long-gestating M.A.S.K. film off the ground. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has just recruited writer Chris Bremner to tackle the movie’s screenplay.

Bremner most recently co-wrote Bad Boys for Life, which was a surprise critical and financial hit when it opened earlier this year. Sony also hired him to write a fourth installment in that franchise even before the film was released. The sequel’s success also convinced Disney to hire him to write National Treasure 3.

M.A.S.K. hit the action figure scene in 1985. The name is an acronym for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, and its team members are an underground strike force tasked with fighting terrorists, including their enemies in V.E.N.O.M. (or Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem). The classic Hasbro toy line also eventually spawned comic books, video games, and a beloved animated series.

F. Gary Gray has been attached to direct the M.A.S.K. film since 2018. He’s also producing the movie through his Fenix Studios banner alongside Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures. M.A.S.K. is only the latest Hasbro line that Paramount intends to bring to the big screen. Aside from their G.I. Joe and Transformers films, the studio is also producing adaptations of Micronauts, ROM, and Visionaries. The original plan was for all of these films to inhabit the same shared universe à la the MCU. However, it’s not clear if this is still Paramount’s intention.

M.A.S.K. is still without a release date.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
