There aren’t many 2025 movie releases left, but if you’re looking for a holiday movie of the feel-good variety, look no further than James L. Brooks’ first movie in 15 years, "Ella McCay." But I bet you didn’t see on your bingo card that this comedy might share some DNA with the last "Alien" movie? Yeah, me too.
Along with "Ella McCay" starring Emma Mackey, Jamie Lee Curtis, Woody Harrelson, Kumail Nanjiani and Julie Kavner, the voice behind Marge Simpson in her first live-action role in 20 years, Spike Fearn is also in the mix. The British actor plays the role of the younger brother to the titular character, who is dealing with challenges associated with suddenly becoming governor as their father also comes back into the picture. Fearn was in "Alien: Romulus," but there’s a larger story about how he ended up moving from the sci-fi sequel to comedy.
