However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he didn’t have his fair share of failures, as Sylvester Stallone had quite a few movies that were box office bombs. One of these movies seems to be relevant even today!

There are two Psycho films that redefined Hollywood over the years. The first was Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho and the Christian Bale film American Psycho which was released in the year 2000.

Featuring two different genres, storylines, and, iconic scenes, the two movies were quite different. However, it was American Psycho that made most people uneasy. Not to mention, several of the crew members had to leave the production of the movie because their wives said so!

Depicting the story of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy businessman who tries to hide his psychopathic tendencies from the world, American Psycho was considered a failure upon release but gained worldwide recognition afterward.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Bruce Wayne had chosen a path a bit more dastardly—perhaps one where his charm skewed toward derision rather than justice? Well, look no further than Christian Bale’s turn as Walter Wade Jr. in John Singleton’s Shaft (2000)—a character who is the poster child of privilege and racism.

Bale’s portrayal is as hard-edged as they come. Walter Wade Jr. serves up his infamous malt liquor line with such icy disdain that it’s like he’s auditioning for a sequel to American Psycho—but with a side of prejudice. His performance is so dripping with elitism that it might make you wonder if Bruce Wayne could’ve turned out this way if his parents had not bitten the dust.

Matt Smith has carved out a truly distinctive career, frequently stepping into the shoes of characters with questionable morals. If he had a nickel for every morally ambiguous role he’s played, he’d be rolling in change. It’s clear these complex, flawed figures are his bread and butter, and he loves bringing them to life on screen.

However, Smith has voiced his frustrations with today’s cancel culture, feeling that these rich, provocative characters are being muzzled and not allowed to fully come alive. Now that he’s hitting a wall with the heavy-handed censorship of modern times, he is undeniably frustrated, especially when he wants his characters to run wild and free.

Christian Bale is not a big fan of acting in sequels or franchises or ensembles. He revealed that he wanted to be part of very varied movies, playing a variety of roles. His stance about acting in the same role again makes it a miracle how Christopher Nolan convinced him to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in the Dark Knight trilogy.

Bale has acted only in three sequel or franchise roles in his career. He had openly expressed his issues with starring in the 2000 sequel of Shaft. His experience in Terminator Salvation and Thor: Love and Thunder was no better, with both films failing to impress the masses.

American Psycho is one wild movie to improvise scenes on, yet with Christian Bale involved, nothing is impossible. Though the Batman actor’s seamless performance makes every scene look seamless yet intricately planned, there’s a gripping detail about the film’s creation that many aren’t aware of. It turns out that Jared Leto’s terrified expression in the scene where he meets his end was completely genuine. The reason? He had no idea his character’s fate was scripted to involve a brutal axing because it wasn’t, at least in Leto’s script it wasn’t.

This absolutely unhinged filming tactic actually proved to be a game-changer. By keeping him clueless, they got a real and terrified look that turned the scene into a next-level shocker.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is back for Season 2, and this time around there are a number of new characters to keep straight. With Sauron revealed to be Halbrand at the end of Season 1, the chess pieces are now fully in the open and the Dark Lord is masquerading as yet another new character this season in order to try and forge the titular rings. We’ve also got drama with the dwarves, in-fighting amongst the elves and that guy who most definitely is Gandalf is wandering the desert with a harfoot.
Absent in Season 2 is Nazanin Boniadi who played Bronwyn, who exited the show. But new to the cast are Ciaran Hinds, Rory Kinnear and plenty more filling out this prequel series that tackles J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age. Check out our complete “Rings of Power” Season 2 cast and character guide below.

Developing a Western in 2024 carries the baggage of a historical genre. So many directors have found ways to explore complex themes within the confines of the American West that coming across an original story in this space is rare. Yet this is precisely what drew Erin Moriarty to the directorial debut of Stuart Gatt, Catching Dust, which opens on August 23.
As the two couples work out their differences against the backdrop of the frontier, their lies and pain come to light. Gatt’s debut features Moriarity as Geena – a young woman looking to understand herself in the face of total isolation. Moriarity and Gatt spoke to FandomWire about the experience of making Catching Dust and how to capture the emotion of the genre.
Gatt wanted to explore isolation and the desert.
Westerns were not traditionally the kind of movies Gatt made. “I just made my last short about the Libyan refugee crisis.

Since her career launched into the stratosphere with Netflix's 2020 chess thriller phenomenon The Queen's Gambit, Anya Taylor-Joy has been consistently booked and busy. In the last year alone, she's fended off Bowser as the voice of Princess Peach in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, popped up as the Lisan al-Gaib's sister Alia Atreides in Dune: Part Two, and gotten her Furiosa on in George Miller's aptly titled action epic Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Now, Taylor-Joy is gearing up for a return to Netflix as murderess Grace Bernard in the streamer's upcoming series adaptation of Bella Mackie's 2021 bestselling serial killer satire How To Kill Your Family.

I think part of our collective fascination with serial killers comes from an empathetic desire to uncover exactly what needs to go wrong for a human being to snap and turn into a murderer. That’s why it makes sense that this form of morbid curiosity lies at the heart of so many successful horror stories, with countless genre filmmakers trying their best to explore the minds of predators.
And in honor of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller expertly allowing us to see through the eyes of a cold-blooded murderer, we’ve decided to come up with a list highlighting six other serial killer movies told from the killer’s perspective. After all, there are plenty of interesting cinematic killers out there, and not all of them are as charming as Josh Hartnett in Trap.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ black absurdist comedy Kinds of Kindness was initially titled And. It brings to the fore two huge superstars in the form of Willem Dafoe and Emma Stone, who play multiple roles in three different yet related stories that play out in the movie.
Released in June 2024, Kinds of Kindness saw Emma Stone star opposite Jesse Plemons’ Robert, whose boss, Raymond, is portrayed by Dafoe. As it turns out, one particular scene involved Emma Stone slapping Dafoe’s Raymond off-screen, following which they converse in an actual sequence in the movie.

Joseph Quinn is about to be everywhere. The “Stranger Things” breakout star already appeared in “A Quiet Place: Day One” and has been announced as part of Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four” alongside fellow “Gladiator II” star Pedro Pascal. Now, he’ll be in theaters soon with the award-winning indie film “Hoard.”

The official synopsis reads: “‘Hoard’ film follows young girl Maria (Lily-Beau Leach) living in London in 1984 as she navigates her mother’s obsessive hoarding. One night, their world falls apart, and we join Maria a decade later, living with her foster mother.

Robert Downey Jr is a legend in every definition of the word. He has stood tall through the test of time, still being one of the most respected and successful people to have ever been a part of the film industry. Versatility has stayed constant throughout his professional life, making a name for himself through his work as Iron Man, but starring in all kinds of roles along with it.

Since breaking out in Hollywood in the ’80s, Johnny Depp has cemented himself as one of the most iconic character actors in the business, who isn’t shy of taking eccentric roles. But before earning the status of a revered character actor, who went on to earn three Oscar nods for Best Actor, Depp’s initial shot to fame was a result of his stint in 21 Jumps Street.
But while the show did prove to be his first major break, Depp wasn’t too fond of the fame that came with it, and it wasn’t until his first Tim Burton collaboration that things started to shift for the better.

Saint Clare is a haunting, blood-soaked thriller set for its UK premiere in August at London’s FrightFest. Bella Thorne delivers an outstanding performance as the eponymous lead in a spiritually charged small-town tale in which American Psycho meets Joan of Arc.
In a small town, a solitary young woman is haunted by voices that lead her to assassinate people with bad intentions who think they can get away with it. But her last kill changes everything and sucks her headlong down a rabbit hole riddled with corruption, trafficking and twisted visions from the beyond. Can Saint Clare save herself from unimaginable terror as her pursuit for retribution takes a dangerous turn, carrying her deep into an unknown hell?
Based on a novel by Don Roff, the film is expertly helmed by award-winning Italian director Mitzi Peirone (Braid) who co-wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner (American Psycho). The stellar cast also includes Ryan Philippe,...

Christian Bale is set to really thrill movie fans once again in his new role as Frankenstein’s monster in the upcoming film “The Bride.” Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, this fresh take on the classic “Bride of Frankenstein” story is now scheduled to come out on September 26, 2025. That’s a little later than originally planned for October 2024.
This Warner Brothers production started filming back in early 2024 and promises to be a unique new version of the famous 1935 horror movie. Set in Chicago during the 1930s, the storyline follows Frankenstein’s monster as he looks for help from a Dr. Euphronius. They want to create a companion for him. Their efforts result in the birth of the Bride, which sparks a series of exciting events like a passionate romance, a police chase, and even a radical social movement.

Despite not making a huge splash upon its release back in the 2000s, since then, American Psycho has garnered a major cult following, which boosted Christian Bale to prominence. In recent years, the fascination with the character has only elevated among viewers, and for better or worse, Patrick Bateman has kind of become a role model to many of them, despite his psychopathic tendencies.
Although most would agree that Bateman is far from an upstanding role model for anyone, whose character serves as a parody of ultra-capitalism, this hasn’t stopped fans from impersonating him.

Christian Bale made his name synonymous with quality movies of all genres. These include the comedy horror American Psycho, The Dark Knight superhero trilogy and the drama Ford v Ferrari.
Nevertheless, the accomplished actor has some failures in his portfolio too. The biggest one is his 2022 movie that both underperformed at the box office and earned a shameful critical score of 32% on Rt, but, surprisingly, entered HBO’s global chart this weekend.
Set in the 1930s, this film follows three friends - a doctor (played by Bale), a nurse and a lawyer - who witness a murder of a general and become suspects themselves.
The more they explore what happens around them, the more they delve into one of the most shocking political conspiracies of the United States, the so-called Business Plot.
Even though this thriller is based on real-life events, it appears to be not realistic, but rather written by AI.

Chris Van Allsberg's picture book "Jumanji" was first published in 1981, and it quickly became a staple in elementary schools and libraries, read widely and joyously by several generations of kids. The book won a Caldecott medal, and Allsberg would go on to write other children's classics like "The Z Was Zapped," "The Polar Express," and the "Jumanji" sequel "Zathura."
The premise is fun: Two kids, bored at home, find a jungle-adventure-themed board game called Jumanji in their attic. When they play it, however, they find that the dictated events of the game manifest in their house. When the game cards tell them they've run into chimpanzees, chimpanzees appear in their kitchen, and more and more animals begin wreaking havoc as the game progresses. It's only when the game ends that the mayhem ceases.
In 1995, director Joe Johnston adapted "Jumanji" to film, expanding the story onto a longer timeline and inventing...

Christian Bale and Matt Damon are two of the finest actors of today’s time. While Damon is best revered for being a one-of-a-kind action star, Bale has made a name for himself as being one of the best method actors in the entire realm of cinema. Having worked in just one movie together in their decades-long careers, both are now Hollywood legends that even A-list actors look up to.

Axel Foley returning to Beverly Hills, an animated feature from former Studio Ghibli talent, a jaw-dropping doc about love-struck “rooftoppers” and final seasons from three big shows — a Spanish teen drama, a viking saga and Daniel Larusso’s last hurrah — are some of the highlights on Netflix in July.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Netflix’s high profile feature release for this month, arrives on July 3. The fourth installment in the Eddie Murphy-led action-comedy franchise, sees Detroit detective Axel Foley return to Beverly Hills, thirty years after his last visit. This time, Foley must team up with a new partner — played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt — when his daughter’s (Taylour Paige) life is threatened. Franchise fans will be happy to see regulars Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), John Taggart (John Ashton), Jeffrey Friedman (Paul Reiser) and Serge (Bronson Pinchot) make appearances and series newcomer Kevin Bacon is also part of the action as Captain Grant.

Apart from expressing emotions and acting out a scene, memorizing dialogue is considered a fundamental skill for actors. And each performer often develops their own distinctive methods to ensure flawless delivery on screen or stage. Similarly, Jim Parsons, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, disclosed his unique approach to tackling the show’s most complex dialogues.

Unlike traditional methods favored by many actors, Jim Parsons relies on a method that will undoubtedly leave even seasoned method actors like Christian Bale astonished. Considering how complicated his dialogues were, since he played a PhD and doctor of science with a genius-level Iq, Parsons revealed his distinct memorizing technique, during an interview.

The decade of the 1980s and its intrigues are really one of the biggest sources of inspiration for filmmakers. Some movies set in that era manage to capture its atmosphere in a surprisingly authentic way, despite being filmed in the 21st century.
Here are 6 horror gems that capture the vibes of the 80s, handpicked by Reddit.
1. The House of the Devil (2009)
Directed by the Pearl filmmaker Ti West, this flick follows a woman hired to babysit at an isolated house that appears to be haunted. It perfectly uses the satanic panic of the 1980s as a central plot element and pays homage to the genre’s classics.
2. Summer of 84‘ (2018)
This teen horror focuses on a group of kids who suspect their neighbor might be a serial killer and does a phenomenal job of recreating the atmosphere of those years. It can be compared to both Netflix’s Stranger Things...

Christian Bale is celebrated for his chameleon-like method of acting, known to immerse himself deeply into roles, sometimes to the brink. Yet, he’s also adept at knowing just where to draw the line.

His reputation for going a bit too method is legendary in Hollywood circles, and in a 2019 interview, his friend and Ford v. Ferrari co-star Matt Damon finally set the record straight on a persistent myth surrounding Bale’s approach.
Thank Goodness Matt Damon Busted This Christian Bale Myth!
Christian Bale has earned global acclaim for his daring feats of method acting, yet his approach is not as extreme as many believe. In the 2019 film Ford v Ferrari, where he portrayed British-born car racer Ken Miles, audiences were naturally curious about how deeply Bale delved into his character.

Since taking over in 2022, Nifff director Pierre-Yves Walder has made the festival’s socially tinged retrospective program a hallmark of his tenure. Rounding out a so-called trilogy that started with queer representation then followed with a gender focus that put the femme fatale and scream queen under the spotlight, this year’s retrospective will tackle class conflict in cheeky terms, putting the screws to those swells with a 20 film program titled Eat the Rich.
“Genre cinema has always treated questions of predation, exploitation and everyday brutality with such complexity,” says Walder, “which makes it so interesting to how this theme evolves over the course of film history.”
The far-ranging program tackles nearly a century worth of upper-class perfidy, beginning with Yakov Protazanov’s early-Soviet sci-fi “Aelita” from 1924 and running through to Jenna Cato Bass’ South African servitude creeper “Good Madam” from 2021.

Stories about deranged men on their way to seize power and prove themselves are nothing new in cinema history. You can recall such classic gems as Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1971) or Martin Scorcese’s Taxi Driver (1976) in this respect.
These days, in the era of TikTok, these plots refer to so-called sigma male grindset films and are regarded as the typical movie buff’s favorites. There is a horror that is, presumably, the most notorious and most viral sigma flick of all time, as well as its lead.
The film’s plot revolves around a handsome investment banker living a successful life in New York City. He has it all, but wants more and more, and that’s why by night he leads a double life as a merciless serial killer, staying uncaught and still insatiable.

Believe it or not, June is almost over. That can mean only one thing! Okay, it can actually mean lots of things, but for the purposes of this story, we're specifically talking about new titles coming to Netflix for July. Every month, the streaming giant says goodbye to a few movies and TV shows to make room for new stuff. These days, most of the new entries that hit Netflix are Netflix originals, but there are still a handful of library titles that arrive as well. And as June rolls into July, we're looking at one genre specifically: horror! Now, you might be one of those folks who only watches horror around Halloween season, but any month is a good month for a horror movie — even in the middle of summer.
And as the calendar flips over from June to July, you might be craving something scary. Thankfully, Netflix will...

This article contains spoilers for "Hit Man."
Netflix acquired Richard Linklater's comedy "Hit Man" out of its screening at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and the choice seems to have paid off for them. /Film has been a little more down on the movie than most (read our review here), but "Hit Man" soon hit #1 on Netflix's streaming charts after its June 7 debut on the platform. The streamer is probably feeling pretty good now after many other studios passed up the chance to shepherd "Hit Man" to completion.
"Hit Man" is loosely based on a true story, first told in a 2001 Texas Monthly article written by Skip Hollandsworth about Gary Johnson, a Houston community college professor who had a movie-worthy side-gig; he played the part of a professional assassin during police sting operations. "Hit Man" (which moves its story to Louisiana) stars Glen Powell as Gary, portrayed as a...

Christian Bale’s radical physical transformations can easily pass for his modus operandi when it comes to films. From shedding weight like a second skin to putting on more than just a few pounds, The Dark Knight star has left no stone unturned when it comes to perfecting his on-screen characters.
American Psycho (2000) | Lionsgate Films
Take The Machinist, for instance, a 2000s psychological thriller starring Bale for which he practically emaciated himself to attain the sickly pale and hollow appearance of the protagonist. Despite nearly starving himself for the role, however, Bale had far from a bad experience throughout the movie. If anything, he had a bewilderingly good time.

Acting is the art of being someone you are not. Some actors will go to any length to embody the characters they portray on the big screen. One of Hollywood’s most committed actors, Christian Bale, stands out as a paragon of physical and mental transformation. American Psycho was only the first of Bale’s numerous bodily metamorphoses undertaken in the name of art.
His relentless approach to literally reshaping his body for his on-screen characters raises the bar so high that his intense preparations often become as much a topic of conversation as the films themselves. While fellow actors, like Zoe Saldaña, often express deep admiration for Bale’s dedication, they also acknowledge their personal limits.

Christian Bale is known for his amazing transformations as an actor and has been a part of acclaimed films such as The Dark Knight Trilogy, American Hustle, The Fighter, Ford v Ferrari, and more.

Bale’s breakthrough role was in the black comedy American Psycho, which saw him play a deranged killer named Patrick Bateman.

Bret Easton Ellis, who wrote the original novel, was reportedly terrified of Bale when he first met him as he was in character.
