BLAST FROM THE PAST: Grab the pinot and head to the couch, because the classic romcom “Four Weddings and a Funeral” is being made into a TV series. Mindy Kaling is once again teaming up with “The Mindy Project” scribe Matt Warburton —as well as the beloved Brit flick’s screenwriter Richard Curtis — to write and executive produce the Hulu anthology series. Each episode will be an hour long and, as in the film, will follow a bunch of friends as their lives cross paths. Word is, with every season, the show will follow a different story line. What we really want to know: Will
Hugh Grant and his dimples make an appearance?
LITTLE CHANGES: Matt Damon’s new movie, “Downsizing,” which premiered at the Venice Film Festival this summer, is coming to a theater near you next month. In the meantime, we’re left to savor the newest trailer gifted to us showing Paul Safranek (played by Damon) in full midlife crisis mode. Tired of the daily grind, he and his wife Audrey ( Kristen Wiig) decide to undergo a novel medical procedure that would make them about five inches tall — and wildly rich by tiny world standards. But all doesn’t go according to plan — spoiler, his wife decides to remain a fullsized human — yet he finds a bigger purpose in his little life.
DENIAL: The Kevin Spacey scandal escalated yesterday, after an anonymous person accused the “House of Cards” star of starting a sexual relationship with him when he was just 14 years old back in 1983. The accuser also tells Vulture.com that Spacey tried to rape him. The accuser says he was 12 when he first met Spacey during his acting class in Westchester County. Spacey, via a lawyer and not Twitter, denied the allegations. His publicist has also announced the two-time Oscar winner is seeking treatment, even as more men have come forward to accuse Spacey of inappropriate behavior while he was the artistic director of the Old Vic
theater in London.
