Two decades after taking its final (and ever chaotic) bow, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with a revival series. And if you're wondering how the titular genius and his family are doing, the reboot's title, Life's Still Unfair - a nod to the original show's theme song - should give you an idea. But behind the scenes, things were much cheerier. "It was the first time in my entire life that, when I was done filming the reboot, I was happy to call myself an actor," Frankie Muniz recently told Peopleof reprising his role as Malcolm. He also said reuniting with his TV family felt like "not a single day went by."

Mel Gibson has apparently decided to recast the role of Jesus in his upcoming Passion of the Christ sequels. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Jim Caviezel will not return to play the lead role in Gibson's upcoming two-part sequel, which is slated to arrive in theaters in 2027. The role of Mary Magdalene, portrayed by Monica Bellucci in the first film, is also being recast.
