Kevin Smith’s horror feature Tusk hits theaters in a few weeks, but the director has already lined up his next project, and it’s set to star his daughter and the daughter of another famous Hollywood dad, Johnny Depp.

Titled Yoga Hosers, the film will star Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp, the teenage daughters of Smith and Depp, respectively. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project will begin shooting this week and is envisioned as the second installment of Smith’s “True North” trilogy of films based on Canadian legends and culture.

The film is written by Smith and features a pair a teenage girls in Manitoba who must use their extensive knowledge of yoga to battle an “ancient evil” that emerges from the earth and endangers their ability to attend an upcoming party. They’re assisted in their mission by a feared hunter named Guy Lapointe, who will be played by Depp.

“People always ask me ‘Are you ever going to make a comic book movie?'” said Smith in a statement accompanying the announcement. “This is it — but instead of yet another dude saving the day, our antiheroes are the most feared and formidable creatures man has ever encountered: two 15-year-old girls.”

While Yoga Heroes offers a decidedly different tone than Tusk, much of the latter film’s cast will return for the teenage action-adventure movie. There’s no word on a release date for the film at this point, but quite a few other recurring actors (and possibly a few characters) from Smith’s previous films are expected to make cameos in the film.

Are you ready to get Glicked this weekend? No, I didn't call you a dirty name, that's the actual moniker being used for the simultaneous release of Wicked and Gladiator II. I'm not going to see either this weekend as both are expected to make tons of cash and draw in a lot of crowds in theaters over the next few days.

I'm content to stay in this weekend and queue up a good movie (or three) on Netflix. Feel the same way? Well, here's a handy list of a few underrated movies that are worth your time. You can always watch Glicked later in the year ... or never, if that's more your vibe.

A man holds a gun in Out of the Furnace.

Are you ready for Glicked? Yes, that's the actual nickname for the simultaneous release of Gladiator 2 and Wicked this weekend. Hollywood is hoping for another bountiful Barbenheimer box office bonanza (say that three times fast), and if the tracking is correct, they are going to get it. Expect tons of crowds at movie theaters this weekend.

If you're like me and hate people, er, crowds, then don't worry, I've got you covered. You can stay in and enjoy some films that have been overlooked. I've assembled a list of three underrated movies that are streaming on Max right now. None of them have the spectacle of Ariana Grande singing in a floating pink bubble or Paul Mescal in a blood-stained toga, but maybe that's a good thing.

And that film more than earned its place on our weekly list of the three great Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend.
