Following Kevin Costner’s success in the highly acclaimed series Yellowstone, great things were expected from the actor, especially since he ventured into Western filmmaking with his 2024 two-part franchise starter Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1. However, although the sprawling Western epic had promised to be something fresh and groundbreaking, the film suffered a catastrophic blow at the box office.

This led netizens to express their disappointment in Kevin Costner, considering how the actor had previously created hype surrounding his Western epic. But surprisingly, when you look at the bigger picture, Horizon is far from an isolated failure. In the landscape of Hollywood cinema, where sequels and remakes are dominating the box office, there appeared several other original movies that sadly succumbed at the 2024 box office.

Steve Carell recalled a literally painful memory from shooting his iconic 2005 comedy film The 40-Year-Old Virgin where he almost got seriously injured because of one waxing scene. Actors sacrifice a lot to deliver their roles perfectly, and sometimes, it comes to a point where their health is put at risk.

In the case of Carell, his chest almost got mutilated and he remembered seeing blood. This is already too much for one small scene in the film, and his willingness not to use prosthetics definitely took a setback.

Steve Carell Remembers One Bloody Incident on The 40-Year-Old Virgin

Aubrey Plaza's newest movie is officially a critical success — which also means the studio behind the super popular film, Amazon, is pretty happy right now.

In "My Old Ass," we first meet the movie's protagonist Elliott as her younger self played by Maisy Stella as she prepares to take hallucinogenic mushrooms with her friends; when she does, she "meets" her 39-year-old self played by Plaza (who recently stunned audiences on the Marvel series "Agatha All Along"). When Older Elliott dispenses some advice — including a strangely specific note to stay away from some boy named Chad — younger Elliot is suspicious at first but realizes that following it actually helps her solve some critical problems, so she starts seeking out her older counterpart to try and get through her younger years unscathed.

"My Old Ass" is funny, unexpectedly emotional, and features two outstanding central performances from Plaza and Stella. Clearly, critics...

Last month, it was announced that Margaret Qualley, star of the body horror film The Substance, had signed on to star in another genre project; the psychological horror thriller Victorian Psycho, where she will be playing the title character. Now, Deadline has revealed the name of Qualley’s first Victorian Psycho co-star: Thomasin McKenzie, whose previous credits include Old and Last Night in Soho.

Zachary Wigon (The Heart Machine) will be directing the film from a screenplay written by author Virginia Feito (Mrs. March), based on her upcoming novel of the same name. This will be the second collaboration between Wigon and Qualley, as she also starred in his film Sanctuary.

Victorian Psycho has the following synopsis: In 1858, a young, eccentric governess named Winifred Notty (Margaret Qualley) arrives at the remote gothic manor known as Ensor House. Winifred’s responsibilities include teaching the children table manners and educating them about their family’s history,...

After captivating audiences with her mesmerizing performance in Last Night in Soho, Thomasin McKenzie is back with another intense, gripping role. She's set to join The Substance's Margaret Qualley in the upcoming psychological horror thriller Victorian Psycho. We first learned of this movie back in October, and it looks like things are coming right along.

Victorian Psycho is based on the upcoming novel of the same name by bestselling author Virginia Feito. Feito is also penning the script for the movie with Zachary Wigon (Sanctuary) directing. Longlegs producer Dan Kagan will produce under his Traffic banner, along with Sebastien Raybaud and Wigon, in collaboration with Anonymous Content. Executive producers on the project include Nick Shumaker and Bard Dorros.

Additionally, Anton is fully financing the film as well as representing international rights and co-representing U.S. rights alongside UTA Independent Film Group and CAA Media Finance. The production, sales, and financing...

Justin Long and Kate Bosworth — who co-starred in both “Barbarian” and “House of Darkness” — are set to reunite for their first film since tying the knot last year.

The newlyweds will star in survival thriller “Coyote,” following a family fighting for their lives against a pack of crazed coyotes during a raging wildfire in the Hollywood Hills.

The film — which was announced by Capstone Studios’ CEO Christian Mercuri — will be directed by Colin Minihan from a story by Daniel Meersand and Nick Simon (“The Pyramid,” “The Girl in the Photographs”) and Tad Daggerhart (“The Expendables 4,” “Black Lotus), with the script by Daggerhart and Simon.

On Tulsa King Season 2 Episode 9, unlikely alliances and shifting loyalties set the stage for a battle against a greater threat.

Dwight Manfredi, ever the strategic thinker, partners with Bill Bevilaqua and Cal Thresher to tackle a new adversary — a move that’s as surprising as it is dangerous.

As these men come together, the cracks in their relationships deepen, and the episode takes us on a rollercoaster of trust and betrayal.

(Brian Douglas/Paramount )

The addition of Native American allies, led by the enigmatic Old Smoke, brings another layer of complexity to this unfolding drama. Known for his deep portrayals of Native American characters, Taylor Sheridan gives the episode a distinct feel that elevates the story.

With past tensions bubbling just below the surface, it’s clear this alliance is as fragile as it is powerful, making every interaction fraught with the potential for explosive outcomes.

The Digital Binge Hangover:...

Shot lists, storyboards, models, pre-viz: There are many different ways for a director, Dp, and a camera team to plot what a movie will look like before they start shooting. But cinematographer Kristen Correll and director Megan Park have a delightfully lo-fi, surprisingly useful approach to conceptualizing the world they’re about to create.

Correll told IndieWire that, as part of starting to talk about what the film would need and how they would shoot it, she had Park read aloud the script for “My Old Ass.”

She tries to do that with all her directors, because hearing a script helps Correll locate the exact tone she will need to create with her camera.

“The way I’m reading things in my head, I might think I have it correct, but then, you hear it from the writer/director and you’re like, ‘Ok, I got that wrong,’ or ‘I was spot on,...

Music legend, Quincy Jones has sadly passed away. He was 91 so he lived a very full and colorful life in an amazing industry. So, is there a cause of death, and how are his beloved Hollywood friends and followers reacting to the news? Keep reading for more details.

Music Legend Quincy Jones Dead At 91

Paul Rudd garnered a name for starring in many comedy films including The 40-Year-Old Virgin before becoming a big shot for playing Ant-Man. The 2005 film was led by Steve Carell and starred Rudd alongside Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, and Catherine Keener. Although every actor did an impressive job, Carell stole the show with his iconic waxing scene.

Steve Carell’s fans are familiar with the actor’s uncountable memorable moments from The Office. But the waxing scene from the Judd Apatow brainchild was significant in Carell’s acting career. To add genuineness to the scene, he underwent a real-life painful waxing experience, that too from a girl who Paul Rudd does not believe to be a professional waxing lady.

November is considered by many to be the beginning of the holiday movie season, but it’s also when many of the prestige films that will vie for next year’s Oscars get released. In fact, a number of popular festival favorites will be hitting theaters this month and/or expanding from their limited releases, which means that Oscar season is now in full swing. Read on for Gold Derby’s November box office preview.

“Wicked” (Universal – Nov. 22)

This adaptation of the mega-hit Broadway musical based on Frank L. Baum‘s characters made famous in the 1939 film classic “The Wizard of Oz” might be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Directed by Jon M. Chu (“Crazy Rich Asians”), it stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, pop superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, as well as recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, and Bowen Yang from “Saturday Night Live.

Getting a film made is far easier said than done. That's why most Hollywood movies are based on pre-existing material -- both to try and speed up the process of generating a story itself, and to have some assurance that there's an audience for the story. This mentality has led to truly original movies becoming something of a rarity. Truth is, Hollywood has always looked to existing IP (intellectual property).What's new about today's situation is that the IP they're generally tapping tends to be of a short-form or experiential variety: either remakes, reboots, and legacy sequels to older movies, or TV shows, comic books, and video games.

In the early decades of cinema, however, the main source for adaptations was literature. Where comics, games, TV and other movies are all visual mediums and come pre-loaded with their own imagery, books are a covenant between the author and reader's imagination,...

In 2002, it was finally all coming together for Joaquin Phoenix. He was at long last being considered a leading man after two decades of ensemble parts, and was a year removed from earning a Best Supporting Actor nomination for "Gladiator." The U.S. Army satire "Buffalo Soldiers" could have been the film to fully transform him into a full-blown, top-of-the-poster star, but it wound up getting buried for the offense of poking fun at the military in the immediate wake of 9/11 (it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival the very week of the attacks). So, it couldn't help but feel like he was more actor than M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" needed for the role of Mel Gibson's brother.

Don't get me wrong! I'm thrilled Phoenix got the part if only for his terrified reaction to the alien video, a jump scare we get to share with him as...

It’s Halloween Week on Doctor Odyssey — but did our beloved love triangle bring us tricks, or treats?

Just like clockwork, our two favorite boys, Tristan and Max, butt heads in the beginning of the episode. This time, however, their beef doesn’t revolve around Avery. The pair spar first over Johnny Depp — Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, to be specific — and then Neptune, when they twice turn up in matching Halloween Week costumes. (These two are so similar, we’re willing to jettison the idea of a throuple and root for a Max/Tristan couple!)

Oops, we're late reporting this one. We love following the Golden Horse Awards which give us insight into both Asian cinema as viewed by Asian cineastes and the Oscar race since the nominees here are often a mix of Oscar submissions from the current Oscar race and the next one (given the different calendar requirements). For instance last year's Golden Horse Awards featured one 2023 Oscar submission: Marry My Dead Body (Thailand) and at least two 2024 Oscar submissions: Abang Adik (Malaysia) and Old Fox (Taiwan). Here are the nominees for the upcoming ceremony. 

We only spot one Oscar contender in this year's list though (so far - AMPAS hasn't announced the official submission list. So it's possible our list of 86 submissions is slightly incomplete)  and given the release dates of some of the titles this list may be more predictive of next year's Oscar submissions in Best International Feature.

In an entertainment industry dominated by fantastical blockbusters which often have blatant disregard for physics or reality, you could argue that the "John Wick" franchise might be one of the most cartoonishly fantastical. From the comical way in which every person in New York City seems to be a professional assassin, to the existence of magical bulletproof suits that completely stop the momentum of any projectile, to the many incredible stunts that feel taken out of a Looney Tunes cartoon, the "John Wick" franchise is very close to feeling like a live-action anime. It helps that the ending of "John Wick: Chapter 4" was actually inspired by a classic anime, but now, the franchise is quite literally becoming an anime.

It was reported late last year that "John Wick" would expand its cinematic universe with a new TV show, as well as an anime project. Though at the time we...

Max’s new thriller “Caddo Lake” weaves a complex and eerie mystery centered around the disappearance of an 8-year-old girl, which reveals a series of disturbing deaths and disappearances tied to the same location. Produced by M. Night Shyamalan, “Caddo Lake” features an intricate cast of characters, each connected in ways that deepen the film’s suspense. This guide will introduce you to the key actors and the roles they play in the unfolding story of Caddo Lake. Caddo Lake Main Cast & Characters: Dylan O’Brien as Paris

Dylan O’Brien stars as Paris, a man haunted by the death of his mother, who died in a car crash after suffering a seizure while Paris was with her. Now working to dredge the lake where his mother died, Paris stumbles upon supernatural elements tied to the water. As the movie progresses, he meets Anna in another timeline and embarks on a mission to return her home.

Lighting Up Time

Stuck in a dark and mysterious neighborhood with no memory of how they got there, six strangers will have to piece together their forgotten pasts to escape in “Light Shop,” an eight-part supernatural mystery launching on the Disney streaming service from December.

The show is an adaptation of the “Light Shop” webtoon by Kang Full, who is sometimes credited as the father of Korean web comics and was creator of the Disney hit show “Moving.” Kang Full penned the adapted screenplay. Kim Hiewon directs the series.

The show features “Blood Free” star Ju Jihoon, “Parasite” star Lee Jungeun, and “Pachinko” star Kim Minha. It also features Park Boyoung, as a nurse whose life was changed forever following a near death experience; and Bae Seongwoo as a detective.

The first four episodes of “Light Shop” air from Dec. 4.

10 2024 Films that Will Get You Into the Halloween Spooky Season - Main Image

Though horror films are released all year round, the Halloween season in October is really the time to celebrate all things dark and creepy.

Several movies have been come to known as Halloween classics with films like The Thing, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Poltergeist, but 2024 has also brought in some interesting movies that should get you into the spooky season (in no particular order).

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Halloween isn’t always about things being scary. Sometimes things can just be gross and silly, and the Beetlejuice sequel from Tim Burton delivers a great return to his kooky depiction of the afterlife.

Wednesday star Jenna Ortega takes over the role of the dark gothic girl that was played by Winona Ryder in the original, and the movie also gives some interesting backstory to Beetlejuice as a character and why...

Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre are on the case.

On Wednesday, HBO announced that the “Friday Night Lights” Emmy Award winner and the “Rebel Ridge” star will appear opposite each other in “Lanterns,” the cable network’s latest expansion of the DC Comics universe.

HBO says, “The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.”

Pierre plays Stewart, while Chandler stars as Jordan. Chandler’s participation in the series had been widely reported previously, but HBO finally confirmed his involvement.

Pierre has been on a breakout path for a while now. He starred in Barry Jenkins’s acclaimed Amazon series “The Underground Railroad” and M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” in 2021. Last year, he played Malcolm X on the NatGeo series “Genius: MLK/X.” This year, Pierre starred in the Jeremy Saulnier...

Aaron Pierre is officially joining the Green Lantern series at HBO, Variety has learned.

Pierre will star as John Stewart in the series, which is titled “Lanterns.” It was previously reported that Kyle Chandler was in talks for the role of Hal Jordan. According to sources, a number of actors were considered for the role of Stewart, including Stephan James and Damson Idris.

The show is produced by HBO in association with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios and is based on DC’s “Green Lantern” comics.

The show was picked up for eight episodes at HBO in June. Originally intended as a Max original, the show shifted to HBO as part of a new content delineation plan.

Per the official logline, the series follows “new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

Aaron Pierre, the star of Netflix’s Rebel Ridge, has nabbed the plum part of Green Lantern John Stewart in DC Studios’ and HBO’s much-ballyhooed series Lanterns.

The casting caps one of the more scrutinized actor searches in some time. Not only is the show the first major TV endeavor from DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, but the role of Stewart carries much significance, as the fan-favorite comic book character was one of DC’s first Black superheroes.

The intense casting process came down to Pierre and Stephan James, who is on the festival circuit with drama The Piano Lesson and who starred in the 2016 Jesse Owens biopic Race. Both participated in screen tests, with the actors squaring off against the already cast Kyle Chandler on Thursday and Friday. Each actor had their boosters, but the final decision was made Tuesday.

Pierre definitely brings heat to the show,...

M. Night Shyamalan certainly has been busy this year pushing out his signature brand of twisty thrillers. So far in 2024 we have had his daughter’s directorial effort, The Watchers, which he produced; the intriguing modest hit Trap, which stars another daughter and which he directed and produced; and now Caddo Lake, which is being heavily advertised as from “Producer M. Night Shyamalan.” Set for a streaming debut on Max starting Thursday rather than going theatrical like the rest of his feature output, the pic unmistakably fits right into his own filmography, even if he turned over writing and directing reins to the team of Celine Held and Logan George.

Actually this one went into production exactly three years ago under the title The Vanishing at Caddo Lake — while Shyamalan still was working his now-wrapped Apple TV series Servant, which happens to be a key credit for his filmmakers here...

Exclusive: Sony’s sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer has just added Billy Campbell to the booming cast which includes Freddie Prinze Jr., Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers and Jonah Haur-King. Franchise Og star Jennifer Love Hewitt is also in talks to return.

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is directing the follow up, which is written by Sam Lansky and Kaytin Robinson off a draft by Leah McKendrick. Neal Moritz is producing for a theatrical release scheduled on July 18, 2025.

The Paradigm and Link Entertainment repped Campbell recently starred in 2x Primetime Emmy winning Amazon series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. He was also last seen in the CTV/Hulu television series, Cardinal. Campbell won a Canadian Screen Award for Best Actor in Cardinal for two years in a row as well as nominated for an International Emmy Award for Best Actor in a series. He is...

Plot: When an eight-year-old girl mysteriously vanishes, a series of past deaths and disappearances start to link together, forever altering a broken family’s history.

Review: When you stick the name M. Night Shyamalan in your marketing, you promise audiences a particular type of film. The trailer for Caddo Lake boasts Shyamalan’s credit as producer, coupled with the October debut on Max, making it seem like Caddo Lake is a dark thriller or horror film when it is anything but. Set in the sprawling wetland on the border between Louisiana and Texas, the real Caddo Lake is a protected body of water that has been important to indigenous peoples since before the United States even existed. With oil discovered in the late 20th Century, the lake took on a different importance, which factors into this mystery with an unexpected twist. With strong leading performances from Dylan O’Brien and Eliza Scanlen,...

Spirit Halloween is kicking off spooky season by trolling “Saturday Night Live” after the NBC sketch comedy series aired a Spirit Halloween parody during the Season 50 premiere. The fake commercial had cast members like Chloe Fineman roasting the Halloween store for “providing vulnerable communities with the things they need most: Wigs that give you a rash, single-use fog machines and costumes of famous characters tweaked just enough to avoid a lawsuit.”

The official X account for Spirit Halloween responded by giving “SNL” its own costume tweaked just enough to avoid a lawsuit. The store posted a photo for an “SNL” Season 50 costume titled “Irrelevant 50-Year-Old TV Show” that includes “dated references, unknown cast members and shrinking ratings.”

“We are great at raising things back from the dead,” the Spirit Halloween account wrote in the caption.

Leung has expansive credits in both film and television.

Kris Kristofferson did his best to get Johnny Cash to listen to his songs when he was still a struggling artist. At the time, though, Cash was a major star and had grown accustomed to receiving tapes from young musicians. When Kristofferson realized Cash likely hadn’t listened to his tape, he stole a helicopter to make sure his music got to the country star.

Deadline brings word today that Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) and Stephan James (Beacon 23) are the current frontrunners to play John Stewart in DC Studios and HBO's Lanterns.

Kyle Chandler was cast as Hal Jordan earlier this week and, according to the trade, no offers have been made yet. As we reported earlier today, F1 star Damson Idris was in the running but that no longer appears to be the case.

Both actors would bring a lot of this series and the wider Dcu and, as of now, it appears the plan is for John to be this shared world's main Green Lantern. Chandler has reportedly only signed a deal for Lanterns and no features so likely won't appear beyond the series.

Pierre is no stranger to the DC Universe after playing Dev-Em in Krypton and recently became a fan favourite choice to play John after starring in Rebel Ridge.

It’s the night of the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards, so let’s take a moment to look at everyone expected to attend!

Shania Twain is hosting the show live from the Grand Ole Opry House Tonight (September 26) in Nashville, Tenn.

Is that the faint sound of a hand trailing through a field of wheat? No! It's the bombastic sound of a brand new trailer for "Gladiator II." Director Ridley Scott's follow-up to his 2000 historical epic once again centers around the blood-stained sands of Rome's Colosseum, and a vengeful warrior whose violence is entertainment for the masses.

In this sequel, Paul Mescal ("All of Us Strangers") plays the now fully-grown Lucius, nephew to Joaquin Phoenix's villainous emperor Commodus from the original film. Though he was once the heir to the throne of the Roman Empire, "Gladiator II" begins with Lucius living far away from the capital, having settled in the north African kingdom of Numidia. When his home is invaded by a Roman army, commanded by Marcus Acacius (Pedro Pascal), Lucius finds himself back at the Colosseum -- only this time he's not in the stands as a spectator,...

Back in early 2023, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan told Collider, “I have three movie ideas. I even have the structure of all three to some extent. And so it’s a very weird and interesting situation I’m feeling. I wish I could tell them faster. I wish I could get there faster, but there is no shortcut. I have to spend the six to nine months to write it. I have to storyboard for three months, and then we have pre-production, and then shooting it, and edit for as long as I can get every single second.“ Soon after, it was announced that he had secured a multi-year deal with Warner Bros. – and he immediately went to work on his recent thriller Trap. Now that Trap has made its way out into the world, it’s time for Shyamalan to start putting the second of those three movie ideas he said he had,...

Renowned director M. Night Shyamalan has started developing his next movie. Shyamalan revealed on social media that he has begun writing in a bright red notebook as he works to create his 17th feature film.

The director is now working on a new project after the success of his latest thriller, “Trap.” That movie has earned over $80 million globally since its release in theaters. In his social media post, Shyamalan expressed his gratitude to fans for their support over the years.

Shyamalan chose the red notebook as part of his ritual for brainstorming ideas for each new film. He will use it to jot down early notes and concepts before outlining the full story. The notebook’s vibrant color inspired him as he launches into developing his upcoming work.

“Trap” stars Josh Hartnett and tells the story of a serial killer who is caught at a large concert. Shyamalan’s...

"Rings of Power" season 2 is without a doubt the nerdiest show on TV. It relishes translating absurdly small details from Tolkien's Legendarium to the screen, exploring not only the origin of some of the biggest moments in the history of Middle-earth, but also making sure to remember the weird, silly, and poetic aspects of the source material like Tom Bombadil, Old Man Willow, or the existence of orc babies.

Even when actually exploring the origin of items like the rings or Sauron fooling Celebrimbor with his Halbrand disguise (and then his Annatar disguise), the show makes sure to provide its own spin on the source material while still honoring the essence of the mythos. Take Mordor, which gets its own origin story in season 1 of the show -- an origin story that was not what fans expected, but still resulted in the best episode of that season. The transformation of...

Plot: A mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott face-to-face with her 39-year-old self. But when Elliott’s “old ass” delivers warnings to her younger self, Elliott realizes she has to rethink everything about her family, life, and love.

Review: Whether it’s Weird Science or even a Freaky Friday, it can be fun in a film where logic takes a backseat to entertainment. Do I need a full-blown explanation for how a computer and a barbie doll resulted in one of the most beautiful women in existence? Of course not! This is a movie after all and if we’re able to suspend our disbelief that people can fly, I think a little lunacy for the sake of a story can be quite appealing. So I was intrigued by My Old Ass and its focus on a young girl meeting her older self and rethinking her future. But it doesn’t...

Early in his acting career, Aaron Pierre heard he was too tall to ever convincingly convey emotion onscreen. The passing remark stayed with Pierre, who, standing at 6 foot, 3 inches, has spent much of his career disproving that notion with memorable characters on stage and screen.

After starting out in London theater, Pierre broke out as an enslaved man fighting for freedom in Barry Jenkins’ historical limited series “The Underground Railroad” and as a rapper cheekily named “Mid-Sized Sedan” in M. Night Shyamalan’s existential horror film “Old.” But this year marks a new career-high for the 30-year-old English performer, who became the latest actor to reexamine the legacy of Malcolm X in the fourth season of National Geographic’s anthology series “Genius” and will debut as the rich baritone voice of Mufasa in Jenkins’ new “Lion King” prequel this December.

Pierre’s latest leading role, in Netflix’s “Rebel Ridge,...

There's a corner of the multiverse where Neon beat out Netflix to acquire "Hit Man" and turned the Glen Powell-Adria Arjona two-hander into the word-of-mouth theatrical hit it deserved to be. It's possible that same, better timeline is also where one of the streamer's rivals released "Rebel Ridge" in theaters instead of directly onto streaming, ensuring we would all be heralding Aaron Pierre as our next major movie star right about now.

Fortunately, Jeremy Saulnier's tension-ratcheting action-drama has managed to avoid being swallowed into the streaming void and is currently topping the Netflix charts in the U.S., which means the internet is actively in the process of fan-casting Pierre's next big project. With naught but a voice role as a young Mufasa in his "Underground Railroad" director Barry Jenkins' upcoming "Lion King" prequel on his docket, what do people have in mind for Pierre? Playing a superhero, of course!
