Did Leonardo DiCaprio earn big from Inception? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Yes, Tom earned the kind of paycheck that turned heads. DiCaprio managed to snag at least $50 million from the hit Christopher Nolan flick. That was just from box office earnings. Add DVD and TV sales into the mix, and Leo’s haul could be much, much bigger.

Back in 2010, Inception was a wild gamble. Nolan’s twisty, dream-heist concept wasn’t exactly a blockbuster sure-shot back then. Warner Bros. was banking $160 million on a film that had zero sequels, zero remakes, and zero cartoon mascots. It was risky—but DiCaprio took a bet on Nolan’s genius and signed a deal that would make him a first-dollar gross player. In simpler terms, he earned money straight off ticket sales, way before studio expenses were even covered. That’s a deal most stars don’t get these days. But DiCaprio was...

Unlike most other survival horror franchises, the Silent Hill games keep fans coming back for more by investing in a certain feeling rather than familiar monsters and recurring characters. Yes, Pyramid Head and the nurses are some of the biggest icons in gaming, but it’s really the series’ unique blend of Nietzschean psychology and moody atmosphere that makes it stand out. That’s why it’s only natural that fans would also search for the same eerie vibes in other media.

And while I’ll admit that there’s nothing out there that feels exactly like the Silent Hill games (even the adaptations can’t quite replicate the surreal solitude of the source material), today I’d like to share a list attempting to answer one of the most common questions asked by new Silent Hill fans: are there any movies that feel like Silent Hill?

For the purposes of this list,...

Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.

Banel & Adama (Ramata-Toulaye Sy)

A directorial debut programmed into the main Cannes competition is typically viewed with suspicion, if not overlooked altogether. Very rare is that lightning-in-a-bottle moment like the arrival of Son of Saul some years back. Typically, the only conversation these debuts generate is the critical debate as to why they’ve been elevated to the top of the pile when there are far more striking debuts buried deeper within the festival. This often means that accomplished films are overlooked and underappreciated by those on the ground, who may be subconsciously comparing a striking feature to the work of more established names it’s competing against for the Palme d’Or, approaching each debut with a “show me” attitude it...

It’s always interesting to see big time directors go against type and into a genre we don’t necessarily associate them with. We have Mount Rushmore type horror directors like John Carpenter and Wes Craven giving us thoughtful entries into their catalogues like Starman and Music of the Heart. On the flip side of that, what happens when a director known for Oscar worthy drama, gangster, and period piece movies goes all in on a scary movie? How did that movie miss out on any major awards nominations even with it being considered prestige horror? How many different adaptations of Denis Lehane’s novel would we get? Take the boat over before the storm hits as we find out what happened to Shutter Island.

Denis Lehane is an American author who began writing in the early 1990s. While he had success with a series of novels with repeating characters early,...

Martin Scorsese is a movie genius, and it shows in his knack for picking the perfect actors for his films. Take Leonardo DiCaprio, for example — one of Hollywood’s biggest stars since the ’90s. When these two teamed up for a suspense thriller that audiences absolutely loved, it was pretty much a match made in cinematic heaven.

Shutter Island is one of those films that still leaves an impact, even more than a decade after its release. It turns out that watching it just once isn’t quite enough. With all the changes over the years, particularly the ongoing conversations about mental health, re-watching this masterpiece can offer a whole new perspective and be a truly transformative experience.

Since 2002, two Hollywood heavyweights have had an illustrious — and productive — working relationship, and cinema as a whole is better off because of it. Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have been working together for decades now, with DiCaprio playing essential roles in some of Scorsese's best modern films, and what makes their relationship all the more touching is that DiCaprio has publicly revealed that Scorsese's movie "Taxi Driver" served as a major inspiration for his own acting career. Before these two joined forces, it may have felt borderline impossible to imagine that they'd become one of the most tightly-knit Hollywood duos in cinematic history; while DiCaprio was getting his start in projects like "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "Titanic," Scorsese was already a directing legend thanks to "Taxi Driver" and other hits like "Mean Streets," "Raging Bull," "Goodfellas," "The Age of Innocence," and "Casino," just to name a few. Thanks...

In the genre of horror gaming, few titles have managed to leave as lasting an impression as Red Barrels’ Outlast (2013). While Alan Wake (2010) had already established a successful formula of blending supernatural elements with meta-narrative storytelling, Outlast‘s creators deliberately chose to take their horror in a completely different direction.

As we reflect on what makes a truly scary game, especially in light of Alan Wake 2‘s recent success with its mind-bending psychological horror, it’s fascinating to revisit writer J.T. Petty’s approach to crafting Outlast‘s narrative. His philosophy on horror storytelling stands in stark contrast to the metaphysical elements that have become increasingly common in modern horror games.

A Different Kind of Horror Story

When Outlast first hit the shelves, it stood out for its commitment to realism in a genre often dominated by supernatural threats and psychological twists.

Leonardo DiCaprio delivered some of the best cinematic works in the history of Hollywood. In turn, Hollywood made DiCaprio famous. But now, the Oscar-winner becomes more recognized for his 25-age-limit rule for dating women and attending Diddy’s White Parties than films like What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and Shutter Island.

Now, Donald Trump joins his ranks as hours of uncovered audio files released by CNN reveal some ghastly new details about the 45th and 47th President of the United States.

Shocking to the ears, these conversations held in the company of radio host Howard Stern reveal a much darker truth about Trump and his misogynistic treatment of women around him, including his daughter.

The climax is arguably the most important part of a movie. It is the last thing the audience is left with. Hence, an ending needs to be powerful. How the plot concludes can make or break the film experience. Some endings imprint themselves on the viewers’ minds, while others do not have as much of a lasting impact. Some endings are polarizing. After all, not every cinematic project garners unanimous praise or even acceptance. They leave with controversy in their wake.

Controversial endings lead to some jaws dropping and some brows scrunching. A masterfully curated climax can inspire a plethora of feelings in the audience. Or it can ignite serious disputes, debates, and discussions; which gain a cult following and last for years on end. For instance, Was there enough room on the door for Jack to stay afloat alongside Rose in Titanic might go down as the most debated movie ending of all time.

In the world of fashion and modelling, Gisele Bündchen is a force to be reckoned with. The Brazilian supermodel took the runway world by storm when she debuted in the Alexander McQueen show in 1998. This was definitely a huge feat given that she faced 42 casting rejections before the British fashion designer got her on board. Soon she started walking for major designers and became one of the highest-paid models in no time.

While she was making huge waves in her professional career, her love life also featured some of the biggest names in the industry. In this article, we will take a closer look at her relationship timeline, from her romance with Leonardo DiCaprio to her marriage with Tom Brady as well as her current boyfriend Joaquim Valente.

Jackie Earle Haley has over 70 screen acting credits to his name. He was one of the Bad News Bears, he earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in the film Little Children, he played Rorschach in Zack Snyder‘s take on Watchmen. He worked with Steven Spielberg on Lincoln and with Martin Scorsese on Shutter Island. He has dealt with Dollman, the Maniac Cop, and the remake RoboCop, and he played Freddy Krueger in a poorly-received remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. And now, Deadline reports that Haley is set to star in the game show-themed slasher movie I’m Your Host.

It is always nice to see Ted Danson. Having been a part of the industry for the past five decades, he is more than a seasoned hand at work. He is a vital cog in any wheel that he’s associated with.

That holds true even when the man is at the ripe age of 76 – he’s an actor who can pull the fans together. And as if his credentials were not already strong enough, The Good Place has made him a household name in the industry. And with his next series on the horizon, fans only have one question.

A folie a deux is defined as a shared delusion between two people in close association. So maybe the idea that the “Joker” sequel would perform as well as its predecessor was always meant to be suspect.

Over the weekend, “Joker: Folie a Deux” crashed with audiences after finding little support among critics. The Todd Phillips musical drama about the famed Batman villain earned less than $37.8 million at the domestic box office, a far cry from the record-setting $96 million with which the original debuted in 2019. That film grossed a then-record $1.079 billion worldwide, the most money ever for an R-rated release at the time. Now, the expectations are that “Joker: Folie a Deux” might not top $300 million. The project earned a D-grade from ticket buyers on CinemaScore, a service that polls moviegoers about their theatrical experience. Critics, many of whom thought the first film was subpar, eviscerated the sequel too — the...

The rise of spirtualism, mediums, and séances in the 1800s is an endlessly fascinating topic, especially when you consider that, for all of the people that were committing fraud, what if some of them were really contacting the dead? Having read the first issue of Séance in the Asylum, I am very excited to read more, and I was just as thrilled to catch up with Clay McLeod Chapman to talk all about the new series.

The mid-late 1800s are such a fascinating time when it comes to mysticism and the occult. What inspired the idea behind Séance in the Asylum?

I had two guiding lights for Séance in the Asylum. First, I’ve always been a fan of the Fox Sisters. I’m dying to write something for them, about them, some day. I had a feature in development for years and it just fizzled… but I’ve been...

Directors in the entertainment field tend to call it quits before they get too old, but not the legendary Martin Scorsese. Despite being 81, he still stands as a pivotal figure in the movie industry, putting out projects almost every year.

So, what’s Scorsese’s secret? What keeps him active in the industry today? The legendary director of The Wolf of Wall Street and Shutter Island kickstarted his career in 1959. Interestingly, Scorsese initially wanted to become a priest at that time. But life has its weird ways and look where he ended up! Arguably the greatest filmmaker ever.

When we think of the most handsome celebs in Hollywood, one name that always pops up is Leonardo DiCaprio. The 49-year-old has been the heartthrob of ladies since his Titanic and Romeo + Juliet days, but there’s more to the star than his good looks.

Early in his career, DiCaprio sweated away hours on movie sets to bring the best out of his roles. However, sometimes he forgot to wash off that sweat, which caused problems for his co-stars, like Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes.

You know how if you enjoy one actor’s work, you’re likely to enjoy something else they’ve done? For example, if you liked Inception, you might also enjoy Shutter Island. Similarly, if you loved Little Women, you’ll probably like Brooklyn. There are plenty of such examples, and this report focuses on just that.

Today, we’re spotlighting Antony Starr, renowned for his role as Homelander in Amazon’s The Boys. However, he stars in another series that’s equally dark and captivating, and fans are rediscovering it right now.

While this series isn’t a superhero or fantasy show, but rather a crime drama, it shares a similar dark and unsettling tone with The Boys. Plus, it features Antony Starr in another standout role, making it a must-watch for fans.

The series in question is Banshee, which debuted on January 11, 2013, with a 10-episode first season. It was...

You know when you love one actor’s movie or series, you’ll love another similar one? If you liked Inception, you’ll most likely like Shutter Island as well. If you loved Little Women, you’ll also probably like Brooklyn as well. The examples are numerous, and we have plenty to pick from, which is what this report is all about.

This one is going to be focused on Antony Starr, who is best known for playing Homelander in Amazon’s The Boys, but who also has another series that is similarly dark and disturbing, a series that you will most likely love, and a series that the fans are (re)discovering right now.

And while the series in question is not a superhero or a fantasy series – it is a crime drama – it is dark, at times disturbing, and it is very in line with The Boys in several aspects.

And Peacock, Universal’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform, has just unveiled its Halloween programming line-up, full of tricks and treats from the studio’s back catalog, as well as two new series (“Teacup” and “Hysteria!”) for some fresh scares.

In 2022 and ’23, there was at least one big Blumhouse movie that simultaneously debuted on Peacock — in ’22, it was David Gordon Green’s trilogy-capping “Halloween Ends” and last year, it was the video game adaptation “Five Nights at Freddy’s”. This year doesn’t have anything quite like that, but it’s still a powerful collection of titles for every viewer.

The Sept. 1 batch includes classics like “Bride of Frankenstein,” “It Came From Outer Space” and “Werewolf of London;” 1980s favorites like “Halloween III: Season of the Witch,” “The Funhouse” and “The Thing;” along with more modern hits like the original “Candyman,” Jordan Peele’s “Us” and several entries in the “Saw” franchise.

Peacock invites you to face your fears this Halloween with more than 150 new horror titles headed to the streaming service from September 1 straight through All Hallow’s Eve.

From Universal classics, like Frankenstein, The Raven and Phantom Of The Opera, and nostalgic favorites, like Child’S Play, The Craft and Candyman, to frightening franchises, like Saw, The Purge and Leprechaun, and the best of Blumhouse, like Get Out, Halloween Kills and Happy Death Day, Peacock aims to be “your Halloween HQ with a full spectrum of scares to enjoy.”

Not to mention, two new originals – James Wan’s horror series, Teacup, and satanic panic thriller, Hysteria! – as well as the streaming debut of The Mouse Trap.

There’s barely any actor in the entertainment industry who would sell their soul to Lord Voldemort to get an endorsement from an acclaimed filmmaker like Martin Scorsese. But when it came to the Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, he apparently received the director’s alleged praise out of nowhere, back in 2010.

Fresh out of the Harry Potter fame, The Sun had once reported how Rupert Grint had earned Martin Scorsese’s apparent praise and comparison with Leonardo DiCaprio. It was also stated that Scorsese had supposedly expressed his desire to cast Grint as a gangster in his films. However, later on, the outlet’s report turned contradictory, when Scorsese denied watching any of the Harry Potter films.

Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, which not only shocked Bruce Willis with its ending but also turned into a classic example that revolutionized Hollywood’s approach to plot twists. Willis addressed the film’s influence on cinematic history and recalled his reaction to the ending.

On a recent episode of Jeopardy!, Grant DeYoung was looking for his third straight win. However, his two challengers left a little to be desired. In the final round, only one was left and his answer caused Ken Jennings to get short with him as DeYoung won again.

Here is the final Jeopardy! question and why Jennings was frustrated by this moment in the show.

Ken Jennings Short After Bad Jeopardy! Answers

By the time the Final Jeopardy! rolled around, only two competitors remained. The third, Rachel Shelton, had $0 heading into the finals, so she had to leave the game at that point. This means that Grant DeYoung was trying to win his third game in a row against Nick Coombs.

Jennings had already expressed disappointment when Rachel Shelton bet it all on the Daily Double. She went all-in with $7,000 and then missed the question. Ken seemed sad to see her fall,...

The legacy of Kevin Costner cannot be refuted, despite his insistence on staying on the margins of celebrity worship and fame. The actorʼs familiarity with the world of Westerns and his obsession with it runs in his veins. And given his early rise to the higher rungs of Hollywood, Costner had earned his right to ask for roles that allowed him to explore the genre he loved more than the ones that were assigned to him by studio executives.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 [Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures]The latter years of his career have demonstrated a lower percentage of Costner in films but Taylor Sheridan made sure to resurrect him from the dirges of the ʼ80s and ʼ90s. Sheridanʼs Yellowstone universe rectified that which had been lost by reinstating Kevin Costner to the frontlines of television. Now, the fans reflect on a time that cast him into one...

Martin Scorsese has time and again proven why he ranks amongst the best filmmakers of today and his work will certainly be talked about for centuries to come. From Goodfellas (1990) to Shutter Island (2010), Martin Scorsese has a ton of gems in his portfolio but a sixteen-minute-long short film will remain to be the most unique work of his career.

Back in 2015, Martin Scorsese brought together a star-studded ensemble both in front of and behind the camera to create The Audition. The project is unlike any other short film the world has seen and was actually created as a clever way of advertising a casino when mainland China banned any and all advertising of casinos.

Writing on Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island in 2010, Anthony Lane whipped a quote from Umberto Eco: “Two cliches make us laugh but a hundred clichés move us, because we sense dimly that the clichés are talking among themselves, celebrating a reunion.” Eco’s words resonate even stronger in Christmas Eve at Miller’s Point, a fascinating simulacrum of festive movies in which references to annual favorites are thrust together with about as much delicacy as the family it tenderly depicts. The island isn’t Shutter but Long, specifically a small town in Suffolk County where we meet four generations of the Bolsanos, a blue-collar family going through the motions and rituals of their annual get-together, adoring and enduring each other as best they can in what might be their last year in the family home. The filmmaker behind this delicate, strange, reflective bauble is Tyler Taormina, co-founder of the...

Nearly three years have gone by since Chris Stuckmann, a movie critic and author with a channel on YouTube that has over 2 million subscribers, signed a deal with Paper Street Pictures to write and direct the mystery horror film Shelby Oaks. Two years ago, the project became the most-funded horror film project in Kickstarter history, with its crowdfunding campaign pulling in over $1 million. Filming took place in the Cleveland, Ohio area back in 2022, and while we still don’t know when we’re going to have a chance to see Shelby Oaks, Deadline reports that genre filmmaker Mike Flanagan has just board the project, which is making its way through post-production, as an executive producer.

Flanagan’s previous credits include Absentia, Oculus, Hush, Before I Wake, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and...

After breaking records and raising over $1 million on Kickstarter, YouTube critic Chris Stuckmann is making his feature directorial debut with horror movie Shelby Oaks, which we haven’t heard any updates on for a bit now. Today brings a pretty exciting one, however.

Deadline reports that horror master Mike Flanagan has come on board the upcoming Shelby Oaks as an executive producer. Flanagan, Trevor Macy and Melinda Nishioka of Intrepid Pictures have joined the team.

Shelby Oaks is currently in post-production, so we expect to hear more soon.

“Intrepid’s films and TV shows have inspired me for years, and it’s a dream come true to work with Mike and Trevor on my first feature,” said Stuckmann. “I’m ecstatic beyond words to partner on the release of Shelby Oaks.”

“For a film that had such a hard time getting going, it’s remarkable the doors that then opened to us,...

The duo reunited for the 2010 psychological thriller project, Shutter Island which garnered widespread acclaim from critics and viewers. Although it faced a major Oscar snub, one would be surprised to know how the legendary filmmaker ended up helming that project.

Back in 1922 Campton Manor was the scene of an unexplained mass death, twenty-eight guests at a New Year’s party died of heart attacks at the same time. There was no trace of poison, and the case was never solved. The mansion has, needless to say, sat empty ever since.

Decades later, the film seems to be set in the 1950s, Teddy is a detective and a horror novelist. He’s helped in both of these careers by his ability to see, and talk to, the dead. Right now he’s more concerned with Jack. Despite his secretary’s best efforts, Jack keeps turning up in his office talking about Campton Manor, in fact he’s rather insistent that Teddy investigate it.

After getting an invitation to that fateful party, Ted thinks Jack sent it,...

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese have collaborated on a number of projects together as actor and director. Beginning their partnership with Gangs of New York, the duo went on to work on films such as The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, and the recent Killers of the Flower Moon. The duo are also rumored to collaborate again on a Frank Sinatra biopic.

While the two have worked together on many projects, they have also developed projects that have never seen the light of day. One of those was apparently a biographical drama on Alexander, The Great. The two never got to make it, but the duo may have no regrets about it as Colin Farrell’s version of the film ended up almost costing the actor his career.

Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to play Frank Sinatra in a new biopic from Martin Scorsese.

Variety broke news of the project on Wednesday, while also noting that Jennifer Lawrence is in line to play Sinatra’s second wife, actress Ava Gardner. Not surprisingly, the film is reportedly drawing major interest from studios, including Sony and Apple, but must still receive approval from Sinatra’s daughter, Tina, who controls her late father’s estate.

The project would mark the seventh collaboration between DiCaprio and Scorsese, following Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, and last year’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

Scorsese hopes to begin production on the Sinatra biopic immediately after he finishes a film about Jesus Christ, which is set to begin shooting later this year. Andrew Garfield and Miles Teller are among the actors being courted for the Jesus film,...
