Okay, so this is wild! Ryan Reynolds is apparently playing the villain in a new movie from the creator of Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino. It’s a live-action take on Eloise, which is a classic kids’ book from way back in 1955. The story is about this little girl who basically lives at the Plaza Hotel in New York City – she’s got this amazing room right at the very top! I’m super curious to see how this turns out.
Mae Schenk will star as the main character, and Ryan Reynolds is expected to play a brand new villain, according to Variety.
Amy Sherman-Palladino will direct and write the adaptation, with Hannah Marks and Linda Woolverton collaborating on the screenplay.

Netflix has acquired the rights to a film praised as a completely new and exciting adventure, a project that’s been in the works since 2020.
Hannah Minghella, who leads feature animation and family film at Netflix, shared that Eloise has been a favorite for generations. The book first came out in the 1950s, and today, many families visiting New York City make sure to visit The Plaza hotel as part of their trip.
She added that it was a privilege to bring this beloved character back to audiences with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Ryan Reynolds, two people who perfectly capture her playful and delightful spirit, in their new funny, touching, and family-friendly movie.
Ryan Reynolds typically doesn’t play villains, having taken on only a few bad-guy roles in recent years. This new part will be a significant change for him.
The actor is known for playing dark roles, including a serial killer in the 2014 film The Voices. He also portrayed a villain in the 2009 movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, as his character, Wade Wilson, was transformed into Weapon XI.
In the 2005 film The Amityville Horror, Ryan Reynolds played George Lutz, the man who was haunted by an evil spirit. Because his character was possessed, he wasn’t truly a villain, but rather a victim of supernatural forces.
Earlier this year, Sherman-Palladino and husband Daniel released a new comedy-drama titled Étoile.
I just finished watching that Prime Video series about the ballet companies in New York and Paris, and honestly, it was really good! Everyone seems to agree – both regular viewers and critics loved it. It’s currently sitting at an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 51 reviews, which is pretty impressive.
According to Time Magazine, Étoile has everything you’d expect from a show created by Sherman-Palladino – it’s simply enjoyable to watch. They describe it as a charming, though sometimes fast-paced, example of their work.
