David Hasselhoff. You may know it as the musical that once starred David Hasselhoff, or as the source material for that Hugh Jackman Oscar opening number. But now, Deadline is reporting that Birdman writer Alexander Dinelaris has written a script for a movie version of the Broadway musical Jekyll and Hyde. Though the original production opened in 1997 to “mixed critical reviews,” as Deadline puts it, it did well enough with audiences to run for three years (about as long as that Spiderman musical and, hey, they make plenty of those movies.

Is it too late to throw a line about the library into “Empire State of Mind”? The Brooklyn Public Library debuted a massive exhibit dedicated to Jay-Z’s life and career, called “The Book of Hov,” on July 13, in the same borough where the rap mogul grew up. Now that it’s in the books, Jay celebrated the exhibit alongside Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, and friends at a starry opening ceremony that closed down the library on Thursday.

Longtime Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch isn’t one to mince words about awards-show hosts, so when we caught up with him last night at the premiere of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, we had to ask him about James Franco and Anne Hathaway, who emceed this year’s poorly received Academy Awards broadcast. “I have to call James Franco and tell him the show’s over,” Vilanch quipped. “He doesn’t know. He took a nap and he woke up in class.

Instead of a deceptive Instagram filter, maybe modern daters ought to give that vintage VHS look a try. Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Bryan Cranston journeyed back to a part of his professional past that included a video-dating service, and it became very clear that the man is a sterling emblem of learning on the job. Leading by example — “If you like threesomes, just remember, I like Malcolm in the middle” — Cranston shared his expertise with fellow guests Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch, and the mystical duo soon put their quick mastery of the double entendre on display.

So how did Burlesque manage that unexpected Best Picture nomination at the Golden Globes? “If you talk to the top award-season consultants, they can barely disguise their lack of respect for the HFPA members, who often put themselves in indelicate situations,” notes the L.A. Times’s Patrick Goldstein, “as with this year’s crew, which took a Sony-sponsored trip to Las Vegas to see Cher in concert, then gave her film a stunning best picture nod.

It’s an engaging enough book, but it becomes something else when you listen to it. Reynolds reads the memoir himself, in a voice that is slow, soft, and unsteady — at times, barely a rasp. It feels like it’s going to be a disaster, and you might even find yourself wondering whether he only agreed to do the recording because of his much-publicized financial troubles.

Dan Aykroyd and Kumail Nanjiani in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. It opens with a Robert Frost poem, for God’s sake. The people who made Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire can’t simply be content to declare victory in their battle to turn a silly comic franchise into something baggy and self-important; no, they have to rub it in, too. That Frost’s immortal poem “Fire and Ice” (“Some say the world will end in fire / Some say in ice …”) isn’t actually about fire or ice or even really the end of the world is beside the point.
