One of the most anticipated sporting events of the year is almost here. Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight.
As spotted on Variety Magazine the streaming platform has kicked off their promotional efforts for the main event. The almost two-minute clip opens up with a panoramic external shot of AT&T Stadium then quickly cuts two both fighters in the ring. Both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson look very focused as they await the first bell. From there we get some footage of each fighter’s past bouts including Paul’s dismantling of Nate Diaz and Iron Mike’s signature right hook that forced Michael Spinks to lean back. The trailer ends with both brawlers finally meeting at the middle of the ring ready to swing on each other.
Announced on March 7, the bout was originally scheduled for July 20 but was postponed due to Tyson suffering an ulcer problem while traveling. The former heavyweight champion of the world confirmed that this bout will actually be an exhibition match thus the results would not impact their respective professional records. This is not the first time the two would appear at the same event. When Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. back in 2020, Jake Paul defeated Nate Robinson on the undercard.
The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight will stream on Netflix on November 15 at 8 PM EST / 5PM PST. You can see the official trailer below.

It only took 30 years, but Will Smith and Michael Bay are finally working together again.
Spotted on Variety and first reported by Deadline, Will Smith and Michael Bay will reunite for the upcoming Netflix action film Fast and Loose.
According to the website, Fast and Loose will follow a man, played by Smith, who wakes up in Tijuana with no memories. As he works to regain his memory, he learns that he has been living a double life as a crime kingpin and an undercover CIA agent.
The upcoming project marks the first time Smith and Bay have worked together since 1995’s box office blockbuster Bad Boys, which also starred Martin Lawrence and went on to spawn three successful sequels.
Speaking of Lawrence, the actor/comedian joked on X, formerly Twitter, “Don’t forget about ya boy.”
Variety notes that Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner, and Eric Pearson will work on the script with Smith, Kelly McCormick, and David Leitch for 87North, serving as producers.
Jon Mone and Ryan Shimazaki are in negotiations to produce for Westbrook Studios.
Since Bad Boys, Smith has become one of Hollywood’s biggest names. He won an Acadmey Award for his portrayal of Richard Williams in King Richard and starred in Apple’s Emancipation in 2022. He is set to star in the long-awaited sequel to I Am Legend alongside Michael B. Jordan and Sony Pictures’ sci-fi thriller Resistor.
Michael Bay has been busy blowing things up on screen in blockbuster Transformers live-action films and has sat in the director’s chair for other high-action films like Pearl Harbor and Ambulance.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has offered relentless commentary regarding the ongoing legal issues that Sean “Diddy” Combs faces, and now is set to bring forth a new docuseries centered on the mogul. Partnering with Netflix, 50 Cent is putting forth the series with Alexandria Stapleton directing.
In an exclusive report from Variety, 50 Cent — who promised late last year that a documentary of sorts was coming soon — will work with Netflix for the as-of-yet untitled docuseries. In a statement from Jackson and Stapleton, the pair are looking to examine the decades of Diddy’s reign in music and uncover the root of the serious allegations he faces.
From Variety:
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
The docuseries will be executive produced by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television alongside Stapleton’s House of Nonfiction company. Texas Crew Productions are also named as producers of the docuseries. It was reported that proceeds from the film will go towards assisting victims of sexual assault.
A release date will be forthcoming.

Gamers tend to agree that Netflix’s Castlevania animated series is arguably the best video game adapted feature since 1995’s Mortal Kombat. So it shouldn’t be surprising that Netflix continue to keep the franchise going as fans can’t seem to get enough of the animated undead.
This past Monday (Sep. 16) Netflix released their first teaser trailer for the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne which promises more bloody vampire violence and according to Deadline, will pick up 300 years after the events of the original series.
Per Deadline:
Season 1 took place in France in 1792 — the height of the French Revolution. Here’s the synopsis: In a remote part of western France, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to ‘eat the sun’ and unleash an army of vampires and nightcreatures to crush the revolution and enslave humanity. Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.
In Season 2 , now joined by the legendary Alucard, Richter Belmont and his band of vampire hunters are in a desperate race against time. Erzsebet Báthory, the Vampire Messiah, who already seems invincible, seeks the full power of the goddess Sekhmet so she can plunge the world into endless darkness and terror.
Too bad there’s no way Castlevania could ever crossover with Blade or Vampire Hunter D or something. Just sayin.’
Castlevania: Nocturne season 2 is set to premier on Netflix this coming January of 2025. Will you be tuning in? Let us know in the comments section below.

Netflix has released the trailer for the documentary series on the controversial WWE chairman Vince McMahon.
The trailer for the Netflix documentary series Mr. McMahon made its debut, showing the rise and tumultuous fall of World Wrestling Entertainment chairman and co-founder Vince McMahon. The trailer is loaded with snippets from interviews with a few of the wrestling federation’s legends including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, and Paul “Triple H” Levesque. McMahon himself is extensively featured, having sat down for multiple interviews concerning his career during the filming of the series. Mr. McMahon will debut on the platform on September 25.
Mr. McMahon covers the life and career of Vince McMahon from his beginnings as a businessman who helped found the WWE (formerly the World Wrestling Federation), overseeing its rise from a regional force to a dominant global entertainment company to the shocking sexual abuse allegations that forced him to step down. The six-part series, according to the press release, aims to “present an unflinching, no-holds-barred look at one of the most enigmatic figures in sports entertainment.” It was originally announced in October 2020. McMahon would announce his retirement from the WWE as its board of directors was investigating allegations of misconduct. He’d return to oversee the sale of the WWE to Endeavor, who merged it with the UFC under the TKO umbrella in 2023. McMahon would then step down again due to another sexual assault allegation.
Tiger King filmmaker Chris Smith is the director of the series and is an executive producer along with the noted sports journalist Bill Simmons and Zara Duffy. There was speculation that the series wouldn’t go forward after Netflix’s 10-year, $5 billion deal to be the home of WWE’s Monday Night Raw beginning next January. “The goal behind Mr. McMahon was to pull back the curtain and reveal the true Vince McMahon, obscured beneath the persona he presented to the world,” Smith said in an interview with Deadline. “Over the four years of production, the story evolved in truly shocking ways, culminating in some extremely harrowing allegations. The final product is a revealing documentary that we believe offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the man and the complex legacy he left behind.”

Looks like a popular ’80s franchise will be given some new life as a new Ghostbusters animated series is making its way to Netflix sooner than later.
Seventies and ’80s babies remember with fondness The Real Ghostbusters animated cartoon that ran from 1986 to 1991, and with the success of the recent Ghostbusters films, it seems like there just might be a market for the supernatural comedy/action franchise in 2024.
According to Variety, Netflix has just ordered a new Ghostbusters animated series and has tapped Elliott Kalan to serve as a writer for the project as well as its executive producer.
Per Variety:
The show was first reported to be in development at the streamer back in June 2022. Exact plot details are still under wraps, but sources say the 3D animated series will be tonally in line with the recent “Ghostbusters” films.
As previously reported, the series hails from Sony Pictures Animation, with Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan of Ghost Corps, Inc. onboard as executive producers. Reitman and Kenan recently co-wrote the live-action features “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” with Reitman directing the former and Kenan directing the latter. Production on the series will be handled by Netflix and Ghost Corps, Inc., which is based at Sony’s Columbia Pictures.
What’s the chances they get the OG Ghostbusters like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson to voice their characters? Probably slim to none, but hey, we can dream, right?

Early last week, it was reported that the highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul had been derailed after Mike Tyson’s ulcer suddenly flared up, and while fans were disappointed in the news, the fight is still scheduled to go down just not on July 20 as originally planned.
According to ESPN, the big fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned fighter, Jake Paul has been rescheduled to Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The new date will land right as the NFL season is underway so the new date will become a “Friday Night Fight” affair as the Dallas Cowboys have a game Monday night (Nov. 18) and would need the weekend to properly set up the field for their game against their rival Houston Texans.
Aside from the highly anticipated big fight between Iron Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the night will also feature the big rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for Taylor’s Undisputed Super Lightweight Championship. All in all, it should be a good night for boxing enthusiasts all around.
“Our team has worked diligently with all parties involved to reschedule this monumental fight to a date that ensures both Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are fully prepared, with equal training time, as well as allowing us to keep the event at AT&T stadium in the midst of the Cowboys season,” said Nakisa Bidarian, Most Valuable Promotions co-founder, in a statement. “We appreciate the outstanding dedication, collaboration, and flexibility of our partners at Netflix and AT&T Stadium. Paul vs. Tyson is the most cross generational sporting event in history, and we are committed to providing fans worldwide with this unforgettable night of boxing, live globally on Netflix. We look forward to seeing everyone on Friday, November 15 for a showdown that will be talked about for generations to come.”
Well, at least it’s still happening. For a minute there it seemed like the entire event was in danger of being canceled altogether after Mike Tyson’s health scare.
What do y’all think of Mike Tyson’s big fight with Jake Paul. Does the soon to be 58-year-old boxing legend have a chance against his 27-year-old opponent? Let us know in the comments section below.

Fans will have to wait to see if Iron Mike Tyson is able to beat the brakes off Jake Paul. Due to the former’s recent medical scare on a flight, their bout scheduled for July has been postponed.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and was to stream live on Netflix. However, on Saturday, June 1, Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions announced that the bout was being postponed.
Apparently, Tyson’s medical emergency was due to an ulcer flaring up. Since he will be unable to fully train for several weeks, both boxers agreed to push the fight back out of fairness. A new date for the match will be shared on Friday, June 7th.
“I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time. Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flareup, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover,” said Tyson in a statement. “My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.”
Added Paul in his own statement: “I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night. My fans know I don’t want to face Iron Mike at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake — when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. Paul vs Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup.”
While Jake Paul is 27, Mike Tyson is 57.
