It can be easy for audiences to feel startled watching a movie where the gore and violence look so real. Actors, on the other hand, are not surprised by what is in their own movie after knowing what goes into making it. David Cronenberg’s new dystopian thriller Crimes of the Future did not sit well

After over 100 hours of testimony across six weeks of Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, the jurors have finished hearing evidence as of Thursday. But in these final days in court, there were certainly more viral moments, including Amber Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft being struck with a sick burn by
As a leading man in Hollywood for the last several decades, Tom Cruise is pretty much used to being in the driver’s – or should we say pilot’s – seat. He famously does his own film stunts, which include the stunts for his reprisal role in the recently released Top Gun: Maverick. Recently, there’s been
Although Leslie Odom Jr.’s career dated back nearly 20 years before its explosive success, when Hamilton came along, it quickly became the actor and singer’s most famous role. With years having passed since his exit as Aaron Burr in the Broadway musical, Odom has shared that he still has the role on his mind and
You may remember the character of United States Naval Aviator “Iceman” from Top Gun who was a rival to Tom Cruise’s “Maverick.” While its sequel Top Gun: Maverick has the return of Tom Cruise, a Top Gun movie would be nothing without “Iceman.” After begging for a role in Top Gun: Maverick, Val Kilmer’s wish
Florence Pugh has had a quick rise to fame following her 2019 breakout role in Midsommar, which has led her to become a Marvel star and reportedly one of Dune Part Two’s latest additions. Unfortunately, being in front of the spotlight has led to Pugh facing the internet’s wrath regarding her dating life, again. The
As if being a blockbuster star in franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Jurassic Park/World wasn’t a big enough deal, Chris Pratt is also now expanding his voice acting resume following his time as Emmet Brickowski in the LEGO movies. In addition to voicing Mario in Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. animated movie, it was
Making a movie tends to require an entire team of people. You’ve got your director, producer, writer, editor, on-screen talent, and more. Now imagine taking on the task of making a documentary entirely on your own. Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck filmmaker Brett Morgen took on that challenge for the David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream,
The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in these weeks has been a wild affair, whether we’re talking solely about the events that have been viewable on TV or also taking into account the online commentary. We’ve also seen how quickly things can change with this defamation trial. For instance, it was reported
I like to imagine that there is another Bruce Willis in a parallel universe somewhere who is not an action movie star, but instead is a New York cop who single-handedly thwarts German thieves at the totally-real-in-this-world Nakatomi Plaza. Within the multiverse theory, the plot to Die Hard may very well have played out somewhere
For the most part, Machine Gun Kelly is professionally known as a singer/rapper, with a few acting roles on the side. But now, the 32-year-old can add the title of “director” to the resume. His Hitchcockian debut as the star/co-writer/co-director of the stoner flick Good Mourning, which also features his future wife Megan Fox, is
Every teenager has rebellious moments that push against their parent’s authority, and The Adam Project’s Ryan Reynolds was no different. For a teenage Reynolds, it was getting an ear pierced. The only problem was that his strict police officer father was against it. While one might think they know how the situation ended up, things
As Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard just passed its sixth week, there’s another viral moment that occurred during a witness testimony. Tina Newman, who is a production executive at Walt Disney Studios was asked about the potential return of Pirates of the Caribbean with reference to a previous quote from
The biggest phenomenon in Frozen was its hit song, “Let It Go” which ended up becoming the most streamed Disney song of all time before Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” took its spot recently. And yet, somehow, one of the film’s stars, Josh Gad, has dodged learning all the lyrics to the hit song
It’s been almost two full months since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the 94th Academy Awards, and the incident is still being periodically brought up in public conversation. Earlier this week, Seth Meyers mentioned the slap while speaking at NBCUniversal’s Upfront presentation, and now Tom Rothman, the chairman of Sony’s Motion Picture Group,
After the middling box office performance of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the future of the franchise is unclear. While Fantastic Beasts 4 isn’t a sure thing, Warner Bros. certainly doesn’t seem to have given up on new Wizarding World of Harry Potter projects, and reportedly they are set meet with J.K Rowlding in
The Fast & Furious franchise has become one of the biggest global box office success stories, and while we just experienced F9 less than a year ago, the “family” is back already filming Fast X. In addition to most of the cast of the previous films returning, including the recent announcement that Scott Eastwood will
Everything Everywhere All at Once became the biggest surprise hit of 2022 so far. The film only scored a major box office milestone for A24, but achieved critical acclaim with star Michelle Yeoh being singled out for her performance. Looking at the multiverse comedy’s success would have any actor feeling left out of the madcap
Out of all of the facts we know about Fast X, the fact that Jason Momoa will be returning to his roots of playing a villain is one of the most exciting things to keep in mind. With Vin Diesel announcing production is back on track, it should be green lights straight into 2023. Keeping
It was way back in the innocent days of 2017 when 20th Century Fox first announced that a movie adaptation of the popular animated sitcom Bob’s Burgers was in development. Originally scheduled for release in 2020, the film saw multiple delays that postponed its release for two years. However, now is the time to rejoice,
