Das Drama um einen ungarischen Architekten und Holocaust-Überlebenden, der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in die USA auswandert, wo er für einen schwerreichen Industriellen ein Mega-Projekt realisieren soll, wurde – wie in dieser Woche auch schon von den Filmkritikern in Chicago – als bester Filmausgezeichnet, Corbet für die Regie, Adrien Brody als bester Hauptdarstellerund Daniel Blumberg für die Musik.

The Indiana Jones franchise has been a cultural icon for over four decades, blending history, adventure, and action. But last year‘s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny received mixed reviews and struggled financially, leaving Lucasfilm at a crossroads. So where does the franchise go from here?

With Harrison Ford’s portrayal of the iconic archaeologist definitively concluded, is Indy’s story officially over? Not necessarily. With the release and positive reception of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, the video game industry might be the next frontier for our favorite archaeologist’s stories.

Indiana Jones Could Have a Future in Video Games

Dial of Destiny was a bittersweet farewell to Harrison Ford as the iconic archaeologist. Director James Mangold recently talked to Deadline about how audiences were hesitant to embrace an older version of the character.

On Wednesday December 11 2024, Nick Jr broadcasts The Creature Cases!

The Bat Cave Crisis; The Mysterious Ant Circle Season 3 Episode 4 Episode Summary

In the upcoming episode of “The Creature Cases,” titled “The Bat Cave Crisis; The Mysterious Ant Circle,” viewers will follow the adventurous duo as they tackle two puzzling problems. This episode promises to be both fun and educational, making it a perfect fit for young audiences on Nick Jr.

Oscar-winning indie studio Neon emerged as the big winner at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association’s 50th annual selections of the best films and performances, clinching top honors for two of its major contenders: the poignant dramedy “Anora” and the politically-charged thriller “The Seed of the Sacred Fig.”

“Anora” took home the best picture prize, following in the footsteps of past Lafca winners turned Oscar darlings such as “The Hurt Locker” (2009), “Moonlight” (2016) and “Parasite” (2019). It seems like smooth sailing to the Dolby Theatre (at least for a nomination) for the Sean Baker dramedy that won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Mohammad Rasoulof directed, co-wrote and produced “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” under immense political pressure, resulting in the filmmaker being forced to flee Iran after facing an eight-year prison sentence and demands from authorities to withdraw the film from its Cannes premiere. His win...

The minds behind the critically acclaimed Love, Death & Robots have turned their attention to the world of video gaming with Amazon MGM Studio’s Secret Level. This is an anthology that celebrates multiple games across different genres and history.

Among the many episodes we’ll see in the series, which are close to their source material, sits the sixth episode called “Circle,” based on Bandai Namco’s Pac-Man.

With its first reveal finally out, it’s fair to say that it looks quite different from what’s been established with the franchise in the past. However, this might prove to be a good chance for Bandai to bring out its own Souslike game for Pac-Man.

Troy Baker had to go through a lot of pain to finally nail the role of Indiana Jones for the upcoming game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. He was working on his role without any payments for 3 weeks straight before the shooting began.

There was a lot of competition for the role of Indiana Jones portrayed in the films by Harrison Ford. The director wanted to cast the perfect person who would fit well into the role of Ford.

Troy Baker has been a part of the gaming industry for the past 20 years now. During these 2 decades, he has secured a special place for himself as an actor within the industry.

Sad news from the world of television, as Paul Teal has passed away at the age of 35.

Teal had a recurring role on the popular teen drama One Tree Hill, which ran on the WB and the CW from 2003 to 2012.

News of his passing comes to us courtesy of his fiancee, Emilia Torello.

“The most thoughtful, inspiring, driven, self-disciplined, loving man passed away,” Torello wrote on Instagram.

“Paul, you were my soulmate, my soon-to-be-husband, my rock, and my future. You filled my lungs with laughter, my stomach with butterflies, and my heart with love. You were taken too soon, in a battle that you fought bravely without fail,” she continued, adding:

“While a part of me died with you, I promise to fight to find joy in life as hard as you fought to live every single day.

Luke Grimes became a household name thanks to his role as Kaycee Dutton on the hit show Yellowstone. He used his name recognition to get a foot into the country music industry. The singer/actor released his long-awaited debut album this year. He said his next album will have a special inspiration.

Luke Grimes Makes Grand Ole Opry Debut

Yellowstone kicked off the second half of Season 5 on November 10. It will be the show’s final season after Kevin Costner’s exit. But the Dutton family will live on in several spinoff prequels and sequels. With the biggest role of his acting career coming to an end, Luke Grimes shifted his focus to music. He credited Yellowstone co-star Lainey Wilson for influencing him.

He released his self-titled debut album in March. The singer reached a huge milestone on November 16 when he made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry.

In the old days of Hollywood, people of color were often relegated to being cannon fodders in big-budget releases. While things have drastically improved in the last few decades, some projects still bear this issue, and it appears Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King season 2 might be subject to it.

On top of some poor characterization of certain major characters, especially Jay Will’s Tyson, the penultimate episode also shifts the main threat to the Yakuza and Triad. Moreover, certain aspects of this episode feel reminiscent of the age-old white savior trope.

One of the biggest disappointments in this season has been the character of Tyson, who has proven to be extremely incompetent in the mafia business. Moreover, even though his stupidity got Jimmy killed,...

With Indiana Jones and the Great Circle only a month away from its release, many are super excited to see just what sort of exciting journey MachineGames has cooked up for Indy to go on. To honor what Steven Spielberg’s classic films accomplished, though, the game needs more than action; it needs the same sense of adventure that made those movies a classic in the first place.

A fundamental way the Great Circle can achieve this is by embracing the magic of John Williams’ soundtrack. If MachineGames can channel that iconic soundtrack the way Avalanche did with Hogwarts Legacy, it could breathe new life into Indy’s legendary world to life for a whole new generation to witness.

It was recently announced that a reboot-sequel mix to the original show was in development titled Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. It seems that the upcoming show has found a way of honoring Gomez’s character.

Selena Gomez’s Show Made a Full Circle

The Waverly Sub Station was a sub sandwich restaurant in the show which was owned and managed by the Russos. Since Max Russo (played by Jake T. Austin) was the youngest child, he was often seen helping his siblings.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" was so positively stuffed with Easter eggs, cameos, and the Merc with a Mouth's usual wanton hijinks that it's hardly surprising that some choice bits got left on the cutting room floor. Fans of specific characters might've felt a tad burned three months ago knowing that their favorite folks got short shrift on the big screen, but everyone should know by now that these moments will eventually be included at the very least as deleted scenes on the Blu-ray and digital releases, if not added in an extended cut. And when it comes to the "Deadpool" franchise, you have to know that star, co-writer and producer Ryan Reynolds cares deeply about how his movies play as a whole. His job is to make a great superhero film, not offer up unmitigated fan service.

Still, now that we know Gambit was supposed to make it out of the Void,...

Harrison Ford has been acting for well over four decades, gaining fame for his role as Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise. The veteran actor will soon make his MCU debut and is currently starring in the Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking.

During a talk show appearance to promote Shrinking season 2, Ford opened up about some of his earlier struggles revealing one of his first jobs. However, Ford admitted that he was so bad at his job that he not only injured himself on the very first day but also ended up getting fired.

Alert! For seven seasons, The Circlehas delighted us with catfishing shenanigans, costumed dance parties, and digital friendships that’ll last a lifetime. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried — and we screamed when Kevin and “Gianna” found each other in the influencer chat for the third time in a row.

People are searching for answers when it comes to Diddy’s recent charges. Diddy was once considered a powerful figure in the music industry. These days, it seems other celebs are doing their best to distance themselves from him. Others who had personal experiences with him are willing to come forward to share the nitty-gritty details of different traumas they went through with him.

50 Cent (whose real name is Curtis Jackson) is currently working to create a documentary that will shed more light on the entire Diddy scandal. The “In Da Club” rapper is doing so with the help of Netflix. Here’s what you should know about members of Diddy’s inner circle who’ve decided they want to contribute to the Netflix documentary to make sure their voices are heard.

“The Circle” Season 7’s top contestants delivered their final votes in the Netflix competition show’s season finale Wednesday.

It was an action-packed season, with the game’s new “disruptor mode” causing chaos — and finalist Madelyn putting herself in the record books as one of the series’ biggest villains yet. She left her competition stunned when they discovered how frequently she fully fabricated lies to take out other players and protect herself.

But while she made it to the top five — alongside “Gianna,” Kevin, “Rachel” and “Tierra” — she failed to take home the top prize. The winners: twin brother Jersey catfishes Nicky and Jojo Scarlotta, disguised within the game as Jojo’s girlfriend Gianna.

Lewis will play Antoinette, Crutch’s (Morgan) meddling sister-in-law who, much to his chagrin, has inserted herself as the de facto matriarch of the Crutchfield clan. Elegant, worldly, and self-righteous Antoinette is a long-time divorcee whose life revolves around her weekly hair appointments and her job as a correctional officer at Rikers Island. However, when her sister’s children come back to...

Could Channing Tatum’s Gambit finally get his own movie in the MCU? Well, it’s hard to say — but Ryan Reynolds is certainly making it clear that he could, thanks to a new deleted scene from “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

Tatum tried for years to get a Gambit movie off the ground, but it never quite worked out. So, when he unexpectedly showed up in the “Deadpool” threequel, both Tatum and the fans freaked out. Tatum has since said that he “will owe [Reynolds] probably forever” for making it happen.

But now, Reynolds might be giving Gambit another push. In a post to X on Tuesday morning, the actor revealed a 20-second sequence of Gambit strutting through the carnage that he and his colleagues left behind at Cassandra Nova’s fortress in the void.

As he does, the camera pans up to his eyes and Gambit gives a knowing smile.

Exclusive: Gina Gershon (Borderlands), Katherine Waddell (Dinner in America), Ethan Slater (Wicked) and Jesse James Keitel (Queer as Folk) have signed on to star in The Designer, a new body horror feature from writer-director Em Johnson.

The film centers on Gerry (Waddell), whose need for an identity pushes her to join the massive multi-level marketing company, Kismetta, opening her up to a world of chaos that succumbs her to her own delusional reality.

Others in the cast include Michelle Hurd (Star Trek: Picard), Annie Golden (Orange Is the New Black), Jessica Belkin (American Horror Story) and Gwendoline Yeo (Star Wars: The Bad Batch).

Hailing from Incandescent Entertainment, First Bloom Films and Hemlock Circle Productions, the film’s producers are Jiarui Guo (Oh Canada), Warner Davis (The Re-Education of Molly Singer), and Waddell. Yuchuan Cao is serving as co-producer, with WME handling domestic sales.

MachineGames and Lucasfilm Games announced at gamescom Opening Night Live that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on December 9, 2024, for Xbox Series X | S consoles, PC, and Game Pass and on PlayStation 5 in the spring of 2025.

As a collaboration between MachineGames and Lucasfilm Games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and takes Indy everywhere from the snowy Himalayas to the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

With a new companion, Gina, the archaeologist faces a formidable group of enemies as they chase clues about the significance of ancient spiritual sites around the world. Check out the latest gameplay trailer, hosted by Indiana Jones actor Troy Baker.

Pre-orders are now open for Xbox, PC, and Game Pass, and wishlisting is also available for PlayStation. And for those eager to experience Indy’s...

The Indiana Jones films have influenced and inspired video games for decades, namely the Tomb Raider and Uncharted series, which have become successful franchises in their own right. Oddly, there hasn’t really been a licensed Indiana Jones game that’s made a lasting impact, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle could be the first game to capture the magic of the movies in the right way.

The preview footage of the game shown at the Xbox showcase in June highlighted that the game is very much aiming to stand alongside the films in scale and tone, with a dialogue-driven scene in which Indiana and his companion, Italian journalist Gina, get into a dicey standoff with the game’s antagonist, German archaeologist Emmerich Voss, and his henchmen as they vie for control over a mysterious relic. Message received: The Great Circle looks, sounds, and feels uncannily like an Indiana Jones movie.

The realization leads him to Charon (Douglas Tait) and Erica Dunne (Alexa Mansour), a missing 17 year old as Matias, his deaf girlfriend Amaya (Stephanie Nogueras...

Are you ready for a new batch of blind daters? Netflix is giving us a British version of the hit dating show Love Is Blind! The trailer just dropped for Love Is Blind UK, and it looks like things are about to get weird…in a good way.

Hosted by married couple Emma and Matt Willis, the show will follow the same crazy format as the US version. Thirty singles will try to find love without ever seeing what the other person looks like! They’ll chat in “pods” and hopefully form a real connection. Then, they’ll get engaged…all before laying eyes on each other for the first time outside the pods. Talk about taking a leap of faith!

Emma, known for hosting The Circle UK, kicks off the trailer by asking “Is love blind?” Her singer hubby Matt is also there to help guide people through this strange social experiment.

The massive 1975 hit Jaws will get a pair of documentaries to mark the 50th anniversary of the Steven Spielberg blockbuster. One of them, Jaws: Making a Splash in Hollywood, tossed chum in the water at Sunny Side of the Doc last week – looking for a bite from potential buyers at the documentary marketplace event in France.

News of that film, from distributor Newen Connect and directed by French filmmakers Olivier Bonnard and Antoine Coursat, comes just days after Deadline’s exclusive report that National Geographic has greenlighted another documentary about the movie, under the working title Jaws @ 50.

‘Jaws’

Chloé Persyn, head of factual distribution for Newen Connect, says the cinematic ocean’s big enough for both films.

“I would strongly believe there is room for two different documentaries with a different angle,” Persyn tells Deadline. “We already know that now, being at Sunny Side where we...

In a bizarre experiment by a fan, players got to witness a new way to see the iconic character from Metal Gear Solid. A player decided to make a deepfake of this character with the face of his original voice actor, David Hayter, and the result was well-received by fans.

Apparently, this crossover would be very well received. A remake of the popular Konami title is expected to arrive sometime this year.

In 2015, Netflix released the indie horror film Circle on its platform, and it instantly became the talk of the town due to its intriguing premise. It centers around a group of 50 strangers who awaken in a dark room to find out that they're being held captive and forced to participate in a deadly game. Faced with their imminent executions, they must choose one person among them to live.

It was written and directed by Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione and was inspired by the 1957 legal drama film 12 Angry Men. Michael Nardelli, Carter Jenkins, Lawrence Kao, Allegra Masters, Julie Benz, and many others starred in the movie.

Now, almost 10 years after its release, the horror flick has been announced to be getting a sequel. It's titled Circles, and two producers from the original film are back to make it. Those two producers are Nardelli, who also starred in Circle as sole survivor Eric,...

A decade ago, the writing and directing duo of Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione drew inspiration from the classic 1957 drama 12 Angry Men while making the sci-fi psychological thriller Circle, which ended up gathering a cult following after it was released through the Netflix streaming service. Now Variety has broken the news that Circle is getting a sequel called Circles, with the first film’s star Michael Nardelli (The Collection) coming back to produce the follow-up with Brent Stiefel.

If you need a refresher, Circle had the following synopsis: In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Organized in an inward-facing circle and unable to move, they quickly learn that every two minutes one of them must die… executed by a strange device in the center of the room. At first the attacks seem random, but soon the strangers realize that they,...

“It’s us… we’re choosing who dies.” That’s the horrifying realization at the center of Circle, a psychological horror movie from 2015 that is now getting a sequel almost 10 years later.

Variety reports that the upcoming sequel to Circle will be titled Circles.

According to the outlet, the sequel is “financed and entering production later this year.”

In the 2015 movie from writers/directors Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione, “Held captive and faced with their imminent executions, fifty strangers are forced to choose the one person among them who deserves to live.” Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming sequel:

“17 years after being pawns in a cruel game of psychological warfare, the survivors of an invasion face a new threat.”

Devon Graye is writing Circles, with original star Michael Nardelli producing.

In 2015, Netflix acquired the indie horror film “Circle,” which saw 50 strangers trapped in a room and forced to decide who would be the one survivor through a series of votes and debates about the worth of each human life.

Nearly a decade later, with the “12 Angry Men”-inspired project having become something of a cult hit, two producers of the film have reunited to create a sequel, “Circles.” Per the official logline, “17 years after being pawns in a cruel game of psychological warfare, the survivors of an invasion face a new threat.”

Michael Nardelli, who starred in “Circle” as lone survivor Eric, and Brent Stiefel are re-teaming to produce the sequel. Devon Graye is writing the film, which is financed and entering production later this year.

Annecy International Animation Film Festival returns to the fold once more with its 2024 edition and, once again, Dn is here to recommend a selection of shorts that we had the pleasure of catching from the festival over the past week. As we’ve said in our previous Annecy roundups, the most exciting aspect of the festival is getting to see work the world’s leading animation film festival regards as worthy of its programme. Now, obviously that doesn’t mean the festival sees itself as superior to its animators, it just means there’s a high bar of entry, which makes the process of narrowing down the programme to a tight selection of ten shorts pretty tricky. In fact, there are a handful of excellent films left off this list as they have recently appeared in other Dn Best of Fest roundups including Circle and Kawauso from Berlinale, and Tennis,...

Mexico City has cultivated a reputation as a foodie’s paradise, with three of its restaurants — Quintonil, Rosetta, and Pujol — earning spots on this year’s World’s 50 Best list. And while a trip purely dedicated to fine dining makes a flight to Cdmx more than worth it, we’d argue that the city’s passion for art and design is equally as motivating. This is obvious in its hotels.

The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 was a memorable event for many gamers,the cinematic trailer for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle surprisingly stole the spotlight, but not necessarily in the way Microsoft intended. While some announcements caused excitement, the much-anticipated Starfield presentation didn’t quite meet expectations.

However, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers a potential solution to the disappointment of the underwhelming reaction to Bethesda’s current key title. In this article, we’ll examine why the Great Circle could be instrumental in Bethesda regaining the favor of gamers.

Short Documentary Review: Myanmar Anatomy (2023) by Prapat Jiwarangsan

Yangon Zoological Garden, Yangon Circle Railway and the Drug Elimination Museum are the focal point of this blend of documentary and essay. Jiwarangsan adds accounts of Myanmar activists and their struggle during the coups as well as their conflicts with the authorities which made it necessary for them to flee the country. Also, the images from the three locations are altered, using various illustrations of animals, their anatomy, their muscles and blood circulation, as well as various color filters. The effect is often remindful of a museum installation, but at the same time, especially in combination with the other elements, enlightening for the viewer, give more context to the scenes.
