It’s been more than half a century since Helen Reddy sang, “I am woman, hear me roar!” but the line remains as good a mantra as any for Amy Adams’ ferocious lead performance in Marielle Heller’s tamer-than-expected “Nightbitch.” Identified only as “Mother” in the credits, Adams plays a woman who gave up her career to raise her son, but is only now, four years into stay-at-home motherhood, realizing just how much the experience has changed her. “Transformed” might actually be a better word, since her primeval awakening gives off serious werewolf-movie vibes. This mother believes she might be turning into a dog.
Novelist Rachel Yoder opens “Nightbitch” with the words “for my mom & for all the moms.” To some, that might sound like a warning — “male readers (and childless cat ladies) not welcome here” — when in fact, the book has something to teach us all. As with Yoder’s book,...

Some people bring happiness and positivity into the world, illuminating the lives of all around them, and some make flowers wilt and milk curdle wherever they go. As Pansy, Marianne Jean-Baptiste embodies the latter sort in “Hard Truths,” coming away from her reunion with “Secrets & Lies” director Mike Leigh with her richest character yet — not economically speaking, of course, though we’d all be millionaires if we had a nickel for every blistering complaint that spills from Pansy’s lips.
"Hard Truths” arrives more than 50 years after Leigh’s first film, “Bleak Moments,” bookending a career of tough, tell-it-like-it-is looks at working-class British life. Frankly, that vague-sounding title seems better suited to a Criterion Collection boxed set of his work than to his latest feature. A return to intimate kitchen sink realism after the grand-scale ambition of several relatively expansive period pieces — “Topsy-Turvy,” “Vera Drake,” “Mr. Turner” and “Peterloo...

Who is Vince McMahon? Is he the man everyone knows onscreen as the WWE villain “Mr. McMahon”? A self-made billionaire media mogul? Or is there something darker hiding beneath the surface?
Netflix’s upcoming documentary series Mr. McMahon appears set to explore all of those facets.
“When it comes to Vince, a lot of that is a character,” says Paul “Triple H” Levesque, a former professional wrestler who is now the WWE’s chief content officer, in the trailer. “He is going to show you what he wants you to see.”
Or as McMahon himself says in the trailer: “The lines of reality are very blurred in our business, the individual loses all sense of who they really are.”

Vince McMahon is the latest subject to get a buzzy Netflix deep dive. The six-episode docuseries “Mr. McMahon” will premiere globally on the streamer Sept. 25.
“People wondered who I really am, portray me like I’m a bad guy. But no one really knows me,” McMahon says during an interview in this first trailer.
The camera then cuts to talking head footage of WWE legends such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Hulk Hogan and John Cena discussing the former CEO of the wresting organization. The trailer then rapidly flips through several scandals, including steroid use in the WWE and a lawsuit against McMahon that accuses him of “countless depraved and humiliating acts,” a news anchor summarizes.
“What you expect, that’s exactly what you’re going to get,” Johnson says. Watch the full trailer below:

In the WWE’s infamous “Attitude Era,” Vince McMahon morphed into the “Mr. McMahon” character and never really looked back. Or maybe he was always that guy — and that’s not a compliment.
Netflix’s upcoming “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, from “Tiger King” director Chris Smith and former ESPN personality Bill Simmons, follows Vince’s “rise and fall,” the show’s synopsis begins. Production began on the unscripted series four years ago, and since its cameras were first turned on, McMahon left his own company — twice — amid several scandals.
For “Mr. McMahon,” Smith, Simmons, and fellow executive producer Zara Duffy compiled more than 200 hours of interviews with Vince McMahon, his family members, business associates, and iconic professional-wrestling talent, per Netflix. The trailer alone shows McMahon, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Hulk Hogan, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, John Cena, Bruce Prichard, Eric Bishoff, Jimmy Hart, Bret Hart, and McMahon’s own son-in-law, Paul “Triple H” Levesque,...

The first trailer for Mike Leigh’s latest feature “Hard Truths” had been unveiled, showing its lead star Marianne Jean-Baptiste embarking on an angry rampage against supermarket check out clerks, unsuspecting members of the public and her family.
“People, can’t stand ’em,” she exclaims in the trailer, released ahead of the film’s world premiere in Toronto on Sep. 6. “Cheerful, grinning people.”
"Hard Truths” sees legendary British auteur Leigh return to the contemporary world after “Mr. Turner” and “Peterloo” with what is described as a “fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny ties that bind us.”
Reunited with Leigh for the first time since the multiple Oscar-nominated “Secrets and Lies,” Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked by fear, tormented by afflictions, and prone to raging tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister, played by Michele Austin...

In Hollywood, love stories seldom play out like fairy tales, and even though a couple might seem perfect to the T, things can go wrong. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were once hailed as the ultimate power couple until the news of their split in 2016. It was like the end of an era, but the drama that followed was far more compelling and complex than a movie.

With each passing day, there’s a new revelation that comes to light about the couple, so it’s safe to assume that the aftermath of their tumultuous relationship is far from over.

Netflix’s One Piece Live Action became one of the most streamed series in 2023. Fans were skeptical about the project because of past ventures in this category, but the results were better than expected. Eiichiro Oda handpicked the cast, and Matt Owens, a massive One Piece fan, did the rest. Almost immediately after season one, season two was announced.
With One Piece Live Action season one’s massive success, the fans have more expectations from the second season. Several live-action debuts will happen in the upcoming season, and Netflix is quite particular with the casting. After Dr. Kureha and Dr. Hiriluk, another actor has been confirmed as a side character. The role is of Mr. 11, who barely had eleven minutes of screen time in the anime.

Ever imagined being told you can’t have your cake and eat it too, only to end up feasting like a king? This is precisely what happened to Taylor Sheridan during the production of Those Who Wish Me Dead, when he was flatly informed that Angelina Jolie—yes, the iconic ‘Angie’—would never take on the lead role.

Warner Bros. executives were adamant, quoting her then hiatus from live-action films and the tempestuous personal storms she was suffering, including a tough divorce. Oh, the irony! Sheridan’s wish to envision Jolie as the perfect Hannah, a smokejumper wrestling with her own demons. Despite the naysayers, Jolie found the script irresistibly cathartic, mirroring her own sense of brokenness and uncertainty.
Isn’t it fascinating how life’s most challenging times can lead us to the perfect roles?

Angelina Jolie tends to wear more modest clothing these days. The 49-year-old often dons gorgeous gowns draped in luxurious materials, as evidenced by several of her media appearances in 2024. However, the A-list actor occasionally bares her shoulders and back, showing off the extensive tattoos she’s added over the years.

Stephen King‘s novel The Institute (which can be purchased Here) reached store shelves on September 10, 2019 – and that same day, it was announced that David Kelley and Jack Bender, the duo behind the King series adaptation Mr. Mercedes, were working on a limited series adaptation of The Institute. Nearly five years have gone since then and Kelley has dropped off the project along the way, but The Institute is moving forward at MGM+ – and it has just been revealed that Simone Miller (Detention Adventure) and Jason Diaz (The 100) have been added to the cast.

The category is “Celebrity Fights That Could Be on Pay-Per-View.” Show me “Katt Williams and Steve Harvey smacking the shit out of each other!”
At the beginning of 2024, serial shit-starter Katt Williams rang in the new year by going on NFL legend Shannon Sharpe’s podcast Club Shay Shay and talking massive trash about roughly a dozen different stand-up comedians simply for the love of the game. Williams accused aspiring billionaire Kevin Hart of being an industry plant who never sold out a comedy club before beginning his movie career. He said that Michael Blackson is what you get when “most comedians don’t get booed enough.” He even said of Rush Hour star Chris Tucker’s return to comedy, “The Chris Tucker that we have now is Epstein Island Chris Tucker, not Smokey. … He Michael Jackson’s best friend.

Glen Powell Is The Next Big Actor in Hollywood
Sure, Gosling has starred in movies like La La Land, The Notebook, and, Crazy, Stupid, Love which falls into the romantic side of things but that doesn’t mean he only stars in particular kinds of movies.

Stephen King is the undisputed maestro of horror. He might not be your personal favorite writer who's actively working in the genre, but he has unquestionably influenced your fave to some degree in the half-century since the release of his first published novel, "Carrie," in 1974 -- not to mention the classic Brian De Palma film adaptation that followed only two years later.
He's also something of an under-sung talent when it comes to telling stories that aren't strictly of the horror variety. For all their distressing moments, Stephen King movies like "Stand By Me," "Dolores Claiborne," and "The Shawshank Redemption" (like their source material) are more character dramas than unfiltered horror narratives. But even without memorable metaphors like a child-eating clown creature or a father being compelled by ghosts to axe-murder his family, these stories paint complicated portraits of humankind and our shortcomings to rival those of the author's tales of terror.

Long before Brangelina became a thing, Angelina Jolie was married to singer-songwriter Billy Bob Thornton. However, their relationship, which began with matching couple tattoos and a shared love for gothic aesthetics, abruptly ended in 2003, just three years into their marriage.

The unexpected success of Helldivers 2 was a surprise from Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment. The gaming community found all the features they had been looking for in a perfect online multiplayer game and the developers passed with flying colors and shared it to the PC player base.
The live service game is in the grey area for what one may consider a PlayStation exclusive since it is also playable on PC; however, there are no plans of porting the game along with other Sony first-party exclusives, but the Xbox community is convinced these games will be shared.
The Xbox Community Is Optimistic About Sony Porting Helldivers 2
Sony Interactive Entertainment struck gold after the gaming company decided to gamble on the ambitious live service project of Arrowhead Game Studios a few years ago, and a few months ago, the game was hailed as one of the best multiplayer experiences.

Vedaa Worldwide Box Office Day 8: John Abraham’s Film Falls Short of Kollywood’s Demonte Colony 2 in Week 1 Business. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Vedaa, the much-anticipated action thriller starring John Abraham, Sharvari Wagh, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Abhishek Banerjee, has underperformed at the box office. Despite a respectable opening of 6.75 crore on Independence Day, the film struggled to maintain momentum, ultimately failing to meet expectations.
Vedaa’s Week 1 Lackluster Box Office Performance
After the initial buzz, the film’s extended opening weekend brought in a disappointing 14.20 crore, indicating a significant drop in audience interest. Weekday collections were even more disheartening, with the first Tuesday marking the film’s lowest collections since release.
Vedaa concluded its first week with a total India net collection of 17.60 crore, a gross collection of 20.76 crore, and overseas collections of 3.15 crore. This brings the film’s worldwide total to 23.91 crore, a far cry from the anticipated success.

Directed by film historian Howard Berry and penned by legendary editor Walter Murch, Her Name Was Moviola pulls back the curtain on a seminal slice of cinema history. For decades, the hulking Moviola reigned supreme as the tool of choice for editors shaping movies into coherent works of art. Berry and Murch aim to resurrect this bygone era of analogue editing through an act of loving restoration.
Transporting viewers past the gloss of modern post-production suites and placing them at the elbow of masters plying their craft, this documentary delivers unique insight into the feel and flow of the editing process.
Academy Award winner Murch has cut together some of the most admired films in recent memory, from Apocalypse Now to The Godfather Part II. Here, he returns to his roots, editing scenes from Mike Leigh’s Mr. Turner by hand using a painstakingly sourced Moviola. Berry’s camera hovers close,...

ITV is yet to find itself in a position where it is “turning stuff down because we can’t afford it,” according to programs boss Kevin Lygo, who nonetheless acknowledged “the middle ground has gone” from the the market due to massive hits like Netflix’s The Gentlemen.
Addressing the Edinburgh TV Festival, Lygo attempted to calm nerves among the producers watching his session over a lack of work, coming after a panel during which a number of execs said there are far too many production companies in the ecosystem.
Lygo said his commissioning team is constantly thinking about the balance between not wanting to “mortgage the whole future” and commissioning a producer “walking in with something that you suddenly want to do next week.”
In the face of market contraction and dozens of layoffs, he said he “understands how hard it is for small indies to get business away...

Joe’s a regular, everyday guy: average, you might say. Born and raised in Pittsburgh; blood runs Steelers black and gold; works as a plumber. Got a wife, a kid, a house to pay off. Like anyone, he’s hit with all kinds of feelings when his dad — also an ordinary, working-class man — dies unexpectedly. But in the thick of that grief comes another sudden blow, this one dealt straight to the head. And when Joe comes to, there’s a ruthless gangster in his face demanding the money he says Joe’s father owes him … or else.
How can this be real, Joe struggles to believe, that his father was in cahoots with the Russian mafia? Just as you’re also likely wondering, could Average Joe,the dark comedy thriller — from series creator Robb Cullen (Mr. Robinson) and co-producer McG, starring Deon Cole (Cole Hearted) —...

With an Emmy nomination for her guest spot as a marriage counselor on Mr. & Mrs. Smith in hand, Sarah Paulson has hit a milestone all of her own. The nomination is Paulson’s ninth, all for playing different characters. She’s the first actor to accomplish that feat and it says reams about the versatility with which she practices her craft. “It means audiences have accepted me playing different people and haven’t just gotten attached to me as a character that they love,” she says. “It means they’re responding to my work and not just to me as a person or a character I’ve played that they love.”
In addition to Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Paulson scored nominations for five seasons of American Horror Show, for Game Change (2012) and Impeachment: American Crime Story. Paulson won an Emmy for her role as prosecutor Marcia Clark. In The People v.

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine aren’t returning for season 2 of Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith?! What? Is this some sort of contract negotiation standoff? Even after the series’ 16 Emmy nominations including Lead Actor and Lead Actress in a drama?
Hardly, according to co-Creator and EP Francesca Sloane and the show’s director and EP Hiro Murai.
“We’re just trying to make the best version of season 2 possible,” Sloane tells Crew Call, “That’s why we’re being so coy about it.” That is whether Glover and Erskine are really not returning.

Well, then is the gist of future Mr. & Mrs. Smith seasons to be like an anthology series ala Fargo? Sloane was a producer on that Noah Hawley created series. “Maybe,” she tells us.

The world rejoiced when Robert Downey Jr. removed his Doctor Doom mask at the San Diego Comic-Con 2024. It was finally time for Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU.

However, there was another, more capable actor who was in talks with Marvel Studios for the role of Doctor Doom. As per speculations, Marvel allegedly went ahead with the safer choice.
Marvel Allegedly Played It Safe With Robert Downey Jr.
In Hollywood, there are several actors who are meant to portray a villainous role. Be it Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, Joaquin Phoenix, or, Colin Farrell, these actors have a face that would suit a villain (not that they are villains in real life).

“I would like to dedicate this next song to Mr. Waterhouse,” Hayley can be seen saying in a video from the concert posted on X (formerly Twitter). “He has the skin of a killer, Bella. It’s for you, Robert.”

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we discuss the drama the categories, of which “Shōgun” is favored to win many.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We’ve circled back to the drama around drama and I’m excited! It feels like we’ve got some real races here — or is that just me creating drama where none exists during the dog days of summer? We’re not moving off “Shōgun” for Best Drama Series (sorry to “The Morning Show” and “The Crown”) or either actress frontrunner (Anna Sawai and Elizabeth Debicki). I also feel fairly confident in Billy Crudup winning for “The Morning Show,” a lead dressed in supporting clothes and a beloved performance from a previous winner. But Best Drama Actor remains really tight in my head,...

Abe Sylvia, the creator of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale, had for years been trying to make a show that takes place in Palm Beach, and he finally cracked it with the Kristen Wiig-led comedy series about a woman who strives, and will do anything, to be a part of high society in the exclusive community. The writing, the star-studded cast (including Carol Burnett, Allison Janney, Laura Dern and Ricky Martin) and the vibrant production and costume design all helped the show resonate with Academy voters, who awarded the series 10 Emmy nominations, including best comedy.
Below, Sylvia talks filming in Los Angeles, how the script was tailored when Burnett came on board and why multiple seasons were always the endgame.
Talk to me about the conception of the show, originally called Mr. and Mrs. American Pie andbased on the novel of the same name, correct?

The Simpsons has created many hilarious and iconic moments over its 35 year run. We watched Homer be his version of a devoted dad while Marge usually cleaned up his antics. And let's not forget the Simpson kids--Bart, Lisa, and Maggie--who contributed to the moment-making.
It wasn't easy to pick out five when there were so many classics to choose from. You can't go wrong with Homer's constant act-ups or the celebrity guest stars. Or when Mr. Burns wasn't as malevolent while working with his employees or in Springfield, although I highly enjoy him as a villain.
Season 36 premieres on September 29 as part of the new Animation Domination block on Fox. In celebration we're looking back at five moments that defined The Simpsons' lore and legacy.

Francesca Sloane, writer and co-creator of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, worked with Donald Glover to reinterpret the 2005 film of the same name into a dark dramedy about two for-hire agents embroiled in a tumultuous fake marriage. Sloane selected this scene from episode six, “Couples Therapy (Naked & Afraid),” where John and Jane Smith (Glover and Maya Erskine) break into a scathing fight while on a spy mission in the woods, and tensions that have been simmering over the course of the season come to a head.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith script
“It’s probably the most raw scene between them,” Francesca Sloane tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s definitely the moment where they get the ugliest with each other. It’s a breaking point.” The argument begins when Jane is noting that a bug, which has been attracted to the light of their campfire, has flown to its demise. “It...

Many awards prognosticators expected the drama categories at this year’s Emmys to feature an odd assortment of nominated titles. Consider it a perfect storm of sorts: With the ending of HBO’s Succession (which took the top prize for three of its four seasons) and AMC’s Better Call Saul (which garnered a staggering 53 nominations across its six seasons without a single win) — plus the fact that last year’s strikes forced shows like last year’s drama nominees The Last of Us, Stranger Things, The White Lotus and Yellowjackets to delay production — this year’s contenders for best drama series include only one previous nominee in The Crown, which won the prize in 2021.
While the royal drama from Netflix might be the reigning champ, it’s FX’s Shogun that stands as the strongest frontrunner — a claim it couldn’t make until the network renewed the show, forcing...
