Don’t ever say Scott Adkins’ action movies are ever the same again – especially after Take Cover. Directed by Nick McKinless, who comes from a stunt background, from a script by Joshua Todd James, this action thriller puts all the nail-biting tension into a penthouse for the bulk of its running time. Hey, it might […]

Take Cover Movie Review – Scott Adkins’ Latest Action Film Hits the Target Written by Sergio Pereira for Fortress of Solitude...

British martial artist Scott Adkins takes the lead role in the new action thriller “Take Cover,” which will be released in select theaters and on video-on-demand platforms on October 4. The film shows Adkins playing a hitman named Sam Lorde who must fight for his life after a job goes wrong.

In the movie, Lorde is a seasoned assassin who decides he wants to retire. However, his final job unexpectedly targets him instead. Now Lorde finds himself in a desperate struggle to survive with limited help. Movie trailers highlight intense action scenes that have fans excited to see Adkins’ stunt skills. Some compare the fighting style to classics from director John Woo known for stylized violence.

The film is directed by Nick McKinless in his directorial debut. He previously worked as a stunt performer. The screenplay was written by Joshua Todd James. Alice Eve from “Star Trek Into Darkness” and “Bombshell” also stars.

Exclusive: In the kind of brisk battle over a book we would often see yesteryear but not so often lately, a ferocious auction is underway this week that has names like Anne Hathaway and Elizabeth Banks in the mix. This is for Yesteryear, a novel by Caro Claire Burke, who has had work published in The Atlantic and Marie Claire, has an ongoing short story project called Cover Stories that has a following on Instagram and Substack, and is an editor at Katie Couric Media.

The Dish hears that solid six-figure offers are in from Amazon MGM and Apple (with Hathaway attached to those bids), Universal for Banks and Paramount. UTA is brokering and the auction is in the countering stage and should be wrapped up by the beginning of next week.

What is Yesteryear? Here’s the deal, from a submission to publishers that Deadline got hold of: Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle.

Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean will star in Prime Video’s new film Deep Cover. More on that below.

Prime Video has today announced their new film, Deep Cover, starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Nick Mohammed, Ian McShane, Paddy Considine and Sonoya Mizuno.

The Prime original film (not to be confused with Bill Duke’s 1992 neo-noir of the same name) will begin production in the UK on Monday, 5th February. Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow have worked on the original script, with British improv duo Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen setting the script in London.

The film will follow “three improv actors hired by the police to help stage low-level stings. Their instinct to ‘always say yes’ without breaking character leads them deep inside the London criminal underworld.”

Trevorrow will also be producing the film under Metronome Film Co. and Tom Kingsley will be directing.

Emmy-winning writer/producer/director Manny Coto, whose credits include “24” and its sequels “24: Live Another Day” and “24: Legacy,” as well as “American Horror Story,” “Star Trek: Enterprise” and “Dexter,” died Sunday in Pasadena. He was 62.

News of Coto’s death was confirmed by a family representative. Coto died after a 13-month battle with pancreatic cancer, and passed away at his home, surrounded by family.

Born in Havana, Cuba, Manuel Hector Coto was one of primetime’s most prominent Latino writers and showrunners. He shared the outstanding drama series Emmy in 2005 for Season 5 of “24,” and co-created “24: Legacy.” Coto also spend four seasons as exec producer of “American Horror Story,” and also exec produced two seasons of “American Horror Stories,” directing the 2021 episode “Feral.”

“Manny was an incredibly beloved member of the 20th Television and FX family for close to two decades,” the studio and network said in a joint statement.

In HBO’s Jason Isbell doc, he and fellow singer-songwriter Amanda Shires seem to court marital disaster debating the best word for a lyric (spoiler: their union survives). Writing is high stakes for Isbell. “If I was makin’ people dance, I wouldn’t sit there and waste my time,” he says, laughing cautiously. “But they’re not out there dancin’ — I gotta get those prepositions right.”

He does on Weathervanes, his brutally beautiful ninth studio album. Its songs tremble with anger, desperation, and fear; characters wrestle with regret and unhealthy appetites,...

The New Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator has determined that the deadly shooting on the set of western Rust was officially an accident.

Following the accidental shooting of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchinson in October 2021, Alec Baldwin–who also serves as producer on the film–claimed he never pulled the trigger. However, a test by the FBI determined that, despite internal issues with the firearm, the gun could not have been fired without pulling the trigger.

According to the FBI report, “This was the only successful discharge during this testing and it was attributed to the fracture of internal components, not the failure of the firearm or safety mechanisms.” They also noted, “It may not be possible to recreate or duplicate” the scenario.

Baldwin’s lawyers have called it a “tragic accident.” No formal charges have been filed against Baldwin as of publication.

Baldwin’s initial comments following the tragedy were,...

Olivia Newton-John died today at the age of 73, prompting an outpouring of love for the singer from friends, peers, family and famous admirers.

The singer’s daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, who has been by her mother’s side through her battles with cancer, was among the first to pay tribute. She posted a photo gallery of herself and her mother together from the time she was a baby until now. There was no caption.

Newton-John’s friend and co-star John Travolta wrote in part, “We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!”

Mia Farrow admitted that she’d never met the Grease star, but called her “lovely, talented, brave” and noted that “everyone says she was wonderful – always kind.”

Yvette Nicole Brown wrote, “That’s it. I’m done guys. Heartbroken doesn...

Update, November 23: NewFilmmakers Los Angeles has announced the recipient of its inaugural NewNarratives grant, a program supported by WarnerMedia’s OneFifty division created to support and develop emerging global storytellers. Filmmaker Jim Vendiola will receive $40,000 for the development of his feature “Argus,” about a disaffected private eye who is hired to reinvestigate the case of a missing teen long thought to have run away. It shifts points of view between the detective, an obsessive killer, and the pre-abduction life of the victim and is described by Nfmla as a “subversive, Bipoc, female-driven reimagining of 1970s Neo-noirs.”

The Chicago-based Vendiola, a first-generation Filipino-American, is a writer, director, and development exec who has thrice been a Newcity Film 50 honoree. He’s also a Nfmla alum

“I’m truly ecstatic and grateful to Nfmla and OneFifty for this incredible opportunity. For years I’ve taken meaningful risks with the form and content of my work,...

HBO Max has given a two-season order to a reboot of adult animated series “Clone High,” as well as a series order to a standalone series about “Scooby-Doo” character Velma Dinkley, who will be voiced by Mindy Kaling.

The announcements were part of a larger adult animation slate revealed by HBO Max on Wednesday. The streamer also picked up the series “Fired on Mars” starring Pete Davidson and a Season 2 and 3 renewal for Jg Quintel’s “Close Enough.” Season 2 of “Close Enough” will debut on Feb. 25 HBO Max has also confirmed the development of multiple projects, which are described in full below.

The “Clone High” reboot hails from original series creators Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence. Lord and Miller will write and executive produce the new series, with Lawrence executive producing. Erica Rivinoja, a writer on the original show, will serve as executive producer and showrunner. MTV Entertainment Studios will produce.

Zachary Levi will lead the cast of the inspirational family drama “The Unbreakable Boy” for Kingdom Story Company and Lionsgate.

Levi will portray the father of Austin, a boy with both a rare brittle-bone disease and autism. But what makes Austin truly unique is his joyous, funny, life-affirming worldview that transforms and unites everyone around him. Levi’s character changes his life as he comes to see Austin not as the symbol of something broken, but the triumph of an indestructible spirit.

The film will enter production shortly. Levi will then segue into starring as NFL quarterback Kurt Warner in the Erwin Brothers’ “American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story,” which will begin production next year for Kingdom Story and Lionsgate.

Jon Gunn, the co-writer and executive producer of “I Still Believe,” wrote the script and is directing the film based on the book by Scott M. LeRette with Susy Flory.

Review by Ray Yeung

When it comes to queer cinema, we do not see the romance between two older people, especially not in the surrounding that is quite traditional and family values-driven as it is, or at least was, the case with Hong Kong. “Suk Suk”, the third featured film directed by Ray Yeung, who is considered to be one of the important figures of queer cinema because of his earlier works “Cut Sleeve Boys” and “Front Cover”, is one of the rare films that deals with the topic. The film premiered last autumn at Busan, while the European Premiere took place at Berlinale.

“Suk Suk” is screening at Slovak Queer Film Festival

Pak, played by the legendary Taiwan-based Hong Kong actor Tai-Bo (known for his work in Jackie Chan movies with “Police Story” being the highlight), is a seventy-year-old cab driver. He still works not because of the financial needs,...

“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column (with a special year-end retrospective today) focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.

So many posters proved their greatness this year by being bold enough to make interesting choices where composition is concerned. I’m still talking about mid-tier studios (very few of the below twenty-five are advertising movies produced by Hollywood with a capital-h), but even those independent establishments leaning towards artistry above celebrity wasn’t always a guarantee. That they’re using reflections, extreme close-ups, overlapped objects, and uniquely cut windows turning negative space positive is a testament to a willingness of putting craft above commerce.

It ain’t easy being a clown in the modern world. Thanks to real-life serial killers like John Wayne Gacy, who was known as the “Killer Clown,” as well as shows like American Horror Story: Freak Show, it’s impossible for some audience members to separate the fictional horrifying clowns to those who are just trying to make a living putting smiles on people’s faces.

Stephen King also didn’t help much with his novel It, which saw shapeshifter usually take on the form of Pennywise the Clown. This effect was amplified in 1990 when the miniseries came out, and with the new film on the horizon, there has been an increase in creepy clown sightings that are presumed to have been influenced by fans of King.

World Clown Association president Pam Moody spoke with THR regarding the difficulties that such sightings created for them.

"Last year we were really blindsided.

If Savage Things teaches us anything, it’s that if you kill someone’s parents and enroll them in a government program with the intention of conditioning them into being a world class assassin, your actions may come to haunt you, no matter how sociopathic that subject may be.

In the past few years, Vertigo has firmly proven they aren’t ready to go quietly into the night and remain one of the greatest sources for mature storytelling in the medium of comic books. Not only have they put out stellar books such as The Sheriff of Babylon, The Dark & Bloody, and Frostbite in recent memory, but I’ll argue that each of those is ripe for a motion picture or television adaptation. Actually, The Kitchen is set to get that treatment, which was a limited...

Ashton Sachs, the former California honors student who at 19 murdered his parents while they slept and tried to kill two younger siblings, will spend the rest of his life behind bars.

“The defendant is a sociopath,” Orange County Senior Deputy District Attorney Mike Murray told an Orange County, California, judge at Sachs’ sentencing Friday.

“He has no remorse or empathy. All he cares about is himself.”

Sachs, now 22, previously pleaded guilty to the first-degree murders of his parents, 57-year-old Brad and Andra Sachs, 54. The couple was shot to death in the bedroom of their $2.5 million luxury home,...

Twenty years after prying our way from the clutches of extinction, humanity is thrust into grave danger once more in Independence Day: Resurgence, with today’s barnstorming five-minute trailer – five minutes! – outlining much of the plot underpinning Roland Emmerich’s long-awaited sequel.

The elevator pitch? Commemorating two decades since the War of 1996, and after advancing military tech in the form of the unified Earth Space Defense program, the world’s leading powers stand defiant against any alien threat. But for all of their bravado, complacency creeps through the bleeding-edge defenses when Jeff Goldblum’s David Levinson stumbles upon an alien ship – one that just so happens to be transmitting a distress signal to the stars.

What follows is a deluge of cinematic destruction that hews closely to Emmerich’s M.O. in that the world’s monuments are literally torn asunder and, in the spirit of the ’96 original, the fate...

In the five years that the Justice League has been a team, Green Arrow has never once been a member. And he intends to rectify that right here, right now! One member against his candidacy: Aquaman!

Venom is on the run from his country and he’ll have to turn to the one person he despises the most for help in your first look at Venom #11, from critically acclaimed writer Rick Remender and red-hot artist Lan Medina.

Venom has nowhere left to go and when he’s able to finally find some help…it may be the worst decision he’s made yet. That’s right, it’s the team-up you never thought you’d see as Venom teams with Jack-o-lantern! How bad can things be that Flash Thompson has to side with his archenemy? Find out this December, in Venom #11!

We hold in our hands the covers for DC Comics this February. As a child of four can plainly see, these comics have been hermetically sealed in a Cgc 9.9 slab, and they’ve been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under a giant stack of returned copies of Holy Terror since noon today.

What do we have worth noting? The new look of Darkseid, and we’re far enough into the new 52 books that it’s time for Batman to start crossing over in all of them. Plus Mara Jade, the red-haired assassin who fell in love with her blond-haired man she was sent to kill– oh, I’m sorry, that’s from Star Wars. This is Mera in a jade outfit. Our mistake.

Shall we? Surely!

As usual, spoilers may lurk beyond this point.

1:...

It’s a brand new direction for Flash Thompson as artist Lan Medina (Castle: Richard Castle’s Deadly Storm) joins writer Rick Remender in your first look at Venom #10.

The identity of Venom is in the hands of the villainous Crime-Master and Flash will do anything to keep it from getting out – even if it means going rogue! That’s right, Venom has broken the rules and not only is he on the top of the Americas Most Wanted list, but Captain America’s out to get him. This December, America’s Secret Soldier goes against America’s Super Soldier in Venom #10!

It's always a little difficult for me to write a review on something where I feel a little emotionally attached. For those who haven't been paying attention to this site, we've covered Key of Z pretty much since its inception when we interviewed both Claudio Sanchez and Chondra Echert at last year's New York Comic-Con when it was still known as Subway Seriez up to this past month when we interviewed the writers again to revisit the series and see what else was coming up. They've always been super generous, kind, and open to me. So, that makes viewing the comic objectively extremely hard. It's because of this,...

Fear Agent has always been a series that I think would appeal to a lot of Geeks of Doom readers who maybe don’t read comics. It doesn’t deal with any of the standard superhero tropes of other comics, instead focusing on sci-fi action with smart writing and excellent art. Fear Agent has been chugging along for a few years, and is coming to an end next issue (at least for a while), so it is amazing to see that Fear Agent #31, part four of the Out of Step mini-series, is the best issue of the series so far [...]...
