The Bold and the Beautiful (B&b) spoilers document that Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) feels slighted and emboldened.

The terse talk with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) opens the door to a mass exit from this famous fashion house.

Carter believes his idea to expand Forrester Creations needs to be respected. He’s rarely countered the family that runs the business but has spoken very pointedly to the company’s co-Chief Executive Officers.

Ridge may soon be an ex-best friend. Steffy Forester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) doesn’t know that Carter has fallen for Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).

So, Steffy believes Carter is purely influenced by Hope’s latest need to be saved from herself.

What does Hexit mean? Hope is exiting Forrester Creations and will likely be followed by Carter and others. Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) appears primed to go next.

Children Ruin Everything...

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw 3D, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.

The final installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Secret Santa and the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking. He also teases several projects that are in the works, including a monstrous collaboration with special effects legend Robert Kurtzman.

Secret Santa was born out of Marcus and his writing partner/wife Debra Sullivan’s frustration with the lack of creative control they had on their two previously produced screenplays, 2013’s Texas Chainsaw and 2015’s Momentum. “Artistically, it just started to feel really hollow. I was like, ‘Did I get into this to make money, or did I...

Exclusive: Trimax Media, the production company led by Alan Glazer (The Bank Job), has acquired film rights to No Bullet Got Me Yet, John Stansifer’s forthcoming book about U.S. Army Chaplain, Father Emil Kapaun.

Stansifer has scripted the film adaptation, titled Father Kapaun’s Valley, which Stephen Campanelli (Drinkwater) is attached to direct.

Set to produce are Glazer and Stansifer, whose book is slated for publication on March 12, 2024.

The most decorated chaplain in U.S. military history, Kapaun regularly risked his life during the Korean War to help soldiers survive, also taking great pains to support them in their faith, no matter their religion. Among the most notable incidents from his military history was...

Mission: Possible

“Movies for the big screen”: Tom Cruise launched the latest edition of his sprawling Mission: Impossible franchise Monday afternoon with an elaborate red carpet hoisted up on the Spanish Steps in Rome, and Nancy and Baz were there to witness all. The eternal city and it’s famous stone staircase feature heavily in the film alongside the Piazza di Spagne, giving it quite the European feel. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is the seventh entry in the wider franchise and is once again helmed by Cruise’s now-frequent collaborator Christopher McQuarrie. You can check out images from the premiere here, which appeared to be an emotional event for Cruise, who spoke passionately with Nancy about...

The CW recently picked up the US distribution rights to Australia’s Barons, a surfing drama set in the early 1970s, and will launch the series on Monday, May 29, 2023 at 9pm Et/Pt as part of their summer primetime lineup. Barons was created by Liz Doran, Michael Lawrence (Bra Boys) and John Molloy (The Gloaming) and aired in Australia in 2022.

Acclaimed surf director Taylor Steele – a filmmaker credited with helping to revolutionize the surf genre – was involved as an executive producer and directed a special surf unit charged with shooting scenes on the water. In an April 2022 interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Steele described his work on the series.

“I had a delicate dance because I was an executive producer working on some scripts and storylines, making sure it felt authentic to surfing, so I was the...

Nita Strauss, who recently rejoined Alice Cooper’s band as lead guitarist, has announced a new solo album. The set, titled The Call of the Void, will drop on July 7th via Sumerian Records.

Strauss explained of the album’s new title in a press release, “Have you ever been at the top of a high building and had the fleeting thought, ‘I could jump right now?’ This feeling is sometimes called ‘The Call of the Void,’ also known as ‘high place phenomenon.’ It’s not a suicidal impulse, rather the exact opposite — a subconscious decision to live your life, to step back from the ledge, and take control. As researcher April Smith aptly put it: ‘An urge to jump affirms the urge to live.'”

She continued, “I wanted the follow up to [my debut album] Controlled Chaos to be exciting, new, and fresh, to take listeners to a new place and...

Nathalie Emmanuel is an English actress, singer, and model.

She has also starred in a variety of films including The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Momentum and Animalympics.

Born on March 2nd 1989 in Southend-on-Sea, England to a Dominican father and an English mother of Antiguan descent, she was noticed by an agent while performing at a youth theatre week when she was nine years old. Emmanuel then went on to appear in commercials and stage productions before landing her first major acting gig in 2006 on the British soap opera Hollyoaks as Sasha Valentine.

Just-released “M3GAN” and previous #1 “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” (both 19.99) took the top two spots on the revenue-based Vudu chart as well as on the transaction-based iTunes and Google Play.

As for the top Oscar nominees, some got the chance to make up for weaker grosses in theaters But for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (A24/19.99) the rich get richer.

Daniels’ metaverse success, which led with 11 nominations, reached home viewing almost seven months ago. It returned to 1,400 theaters this weekend and added 1 million to its 70 million domestic box office. Other than Animated Feature nominee “Puss,” it was the only nominee to make all three charts.

Even more impressive, “Everything” increased its VOD price to 19.99. That includes downloading, but this is an unusual if not unprecedented move.

Among other nominees, “Triangle of Sadness” (Neon/5.99), “TÁR,” (Focus/5.99), and “The Banshees of Inisherin” (Searchlight/3.99) — the last two are also streaming — made two charts each,...

After the Oscar nominations, we already have winners. On iTunes, “Triangle of Sadness” (Neon) currently stands at #2. Among films still in theaters, “The Fabelmans” (Universal), and “Women Talking” (United Artists) saw the biggest box-office jump. Netflix currently lists “All Quiet on the Western Front” as #9 — a rare return to the charts, and a feat not duplicated by last year’s Best Director winner, Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog.”

This slate of Oscar nominees looks a lot like the ones we used to see pre-pandemic: some studio titles, some blockbusters, and a dominant specialized presence. Where it differs: The 2022 arthouse films have much lower grosses.

In a sign of how much of the specialized business has shifted to home revenues, iTunes reflected immediate reactions. Nine of its top 16 titles were nominated in the Best Picture and lead actor categories. Along with “Triangle” and “The Fabelmans” and “Women,” boosts went to “TÁR,...

Of all the snubs and surprises among the 95th Academy Award nominations, there was one that united most in a collective shock: Andrea Riseborough’s best actress nomination for her role as the title character in Momentum Pictures’ To Leslie.

Directed by Michael Morris from a screenplay by Ryan Binaco (inspired by his own relationship with his mother), To Leslie follows a woman who, many years after winning a 100,000-plus lottery jackpot, is estranged from her family and caught in the throes of addiction. When she shows up on her now-grown son’s doorstep — only to immediately cause conflict with her binge drinking — she returns to her childhood home to reckon with the past and the people she has hurt, and to get her life back on track.

While the indie film had been absent from Oscar precursors and the awards race at large, it gained momentum just ahead of...

The 95th Oscars on March 12 have a real shot at a ratings boost with brand-name contenders. There’s nominations leader “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, sequels “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” and original global hit “Elvis”, all vying for Best Picture.

Global box office may succeed in luring more eyeballs to the stateside ABC broadcast and more than 200 countries around the world, but a sequel is unlikely to win the top prize. A mainstream crowdpleaser that tugs at audience heartstrings is more likely to take home the win, like recent winners “Coda,” “Nomadland,” and “Green Book.”

Every year, the entire Academy membership votes to nominate Best Picture. This year the increasingly international body revealed itself yet again, nominating (for the eighth time) a non-English language film for both International Feature and Best Picture. Germany’s Oscar entry “All Quiet on the Western Front” could also notch...

Season 2 of “Girls5eva” has even more hilarious, catchy tunes than Season 1, but if you listen closely they’re not quite the same. With the titular girl group being in album mode and recording their first LP in 20 years for the Property Brothers‘ Property Records, their new songs had to take on a different vibe, according to composer and executive producer Jeff Richmond.

“Last season, we were in this place where we were bringing this girl group back from the late 1990s and the 2000s, so we knew that we’d be visiting a lot of music from that time period,” Richmond tells Gold Derby (watch above). “So we could go into TLC and Spice Girls and all these kind of familiar but old songs and iconic kind of songs, and the jokes that we would have back in those days, which were all these kind of girl power, empowerment kind...

Girls5eva is back for an encore on Peacock — but can the girls keep up the momentum?

Thursday’s Season 2 premiere picks up with the girls fresh off their big Jingle Ball triumph, which landed them a deal with Property Records, aka the Property Brothers’ record label. “We are officially in album mode,” Wickie declares, and they go into their first label meeting with a ton of confidence and a new anthem Dawn wrote titled “Momentum.” Their label rep Tate is totally excited and hopes they can finish their new album in six weeks so they can launch it along...

Formats

Warner Bros. International Television Production has revealed the lineup for its annual Wbitvp Formats Showcase, taking place March 3 at the BAFTA headquarters in London, featuring in-person and live streamed interviews with creatives, broadcasters and talent. Titles include Tvnz’s “60 Seconds” where performers have just 60 seconds to grab the judges’ and viewers’ attention while the clock counts down; TBS’ “The Big D,” a social experiment reality series following recent divorcees as they search for romance in paradise, but with the catch that their exes will be along for the journey; and BBC Two’s “Top Takeout” where some of the U.K.’s best takeaway restaurants battle it out for supremacy in a competition judged by families at home.

Also launching are a brace of NPO3 Netherlands formats – “Hot Shots,” a youth-skewing consumer TV format where some of Holland’s most successful social media stars take a close look at...

Aimee Mann knows a sinking ship when she sees one. And she saw the holes in the ballast back at the turn of the century when she asked for her release from her record company so that she could release “Bachelor No. 2 or, The Last Remains of the Dodo” herself. It’s not so much that the majors were going down so much as the marriages between these companies and a classic breed of singer/songwriters going down for the count. In asking for, and receiving, her exit, she was getting a few years’ head start on nearly every other significant artist of a similarly artisan ilk also looking to go independent, either out of choice or necessity.

It could hardly have worked out better: “Bachelor No. 2” not only became a landmark record on its own — with a little cross-promotional help from “Magnolia,” which employed several of its songs,...

“Mulan” (Disney) likely had the greatest revenues of any feature films available in homes this weekend. At $29.99, five times or more costly than alternatives and only in its second week of availability, the big-budget remake more than ever needs PVOD to bolster its chances to recoup its cost. With disappointing initial theatrical results in China ($23 million for its initial weekend), one of the countries where it is not streaming, Disney+ interest becomes even more important.

Perhaps the Chinese fiasco could lead to Disney replicating what Universal did with “Trolls World Tour” after its second weekend of home sales. It was an earnings call (not due for several weeks now though), but that is the one time the studio has released specific numbers on one of its releases ($95 million to that point).

After a weekend where much of the media finally noticed that “Tenet” had its initial domestic gross success overstated...

Popular streamer Dr DisRespect has revealed his final 3D design for “The Arena,” the map he created for the free-to-play multiplayer shooter Rogue Company. The streamer, who made his comeback on YouTube earlier this month after being permanently banned from Twitch in June, has been working on the new map for the past few days as part of a partnership with the game, which is currently in a closed beta.

Momentum is a new Netflix Original comedy special which is written by, and staring Mo Gilligan. Having only known of Mo from his minor role on the Big Narstie show, where he is almost the side-kick to Bigs’ antics on the show, I was not aware of how funny and extremely clever Gilligan is – but this series showcased his comical ability excellently.

Mo Gilligan: Momentum contains very strong language and themes which means it is not completely family friendly; the show also deals with modern issues that a younger audience may not be aware or and/or not find funny. However the great thing about the jokes in Momentum is that there are incredibly relatable and accessible to most of the viewers. This means the show is meant for, and targeted at, a “young adult” audience, which is not to say that of you are not in this age bracket...

Ever since Heather Wixson's 4-star review of Bloodline, we've been excited for Daily Dead readers to see the new Blumhouse horror thriller starring Seann William Scott, and ahead of the movie's South Florida premiere at Popcorn Frights Film Festival, Momentum Pictures has acquired North American rights to the film, with a theatrical, Digital, and On Demand release planned for September 20th.

“We were a brotherhood…Surfing was my saviour”

Inspired by the 1992 film Momentum by Taylor Steele, brothers Jeff and Michael Zimbalist have written and directed their new feature documentary Momentum Generation. It sees a group of young teenage boys come together through their passion of surfing. Each member has their own story to tell and has given their life to becoming some of the biggest influential and best surfers in the world. “The ocean is chaotic, but I felt calm out there”.

Taylor Steele’s Momentum was ground-breaking and inspired surfers and non-surfers alike to grab a board and jump straight in. With the help of his filmmaking skills as well as the handy friendships he made with the young boys, we can have a deeper understanding of the lives of the Momentum Generation. Packed with raw footage from the 1970s and 80s, as well as interviews taken in the present day,...

IFC Films has acquired U.S. rights to “Charlie Says,” the Manson Family drama that recently world premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The movie is directed by “American Psycho” helmer Mary Harron and stars Matt Smith as the infamous killer Charles Manson.

In a deal believed to be in the seven figures, IFC beat out bidders such as A24, Momentum and Rlj Entertainment.

Written by Guinevere Turner and based on Ed Sanders’ 1971 bestselling book “The Family,” “Charlie Says” focuses on the three young women who fell under Manson’s spell and carried out a series of savage murders on his orders in 1969, including that of Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski’s pregnant wife. The women were given death sentences, later changed to life in prison. “Charlie Says” depicts their psychological rehabilitation as they faced the reality of their crimes.

In a move that came as a shock to many both in Britain and the world at large, U.K. voters on Thursday opted to leave the European Union. Just under half of voters were opposed to the hotly debated referendum, whose full effects and implications will likely take years to fully manifest. In response, a petition has been launched calling for new stipulations to the process — namely, that if either the Leave or Remain vote is less than 60% based on a turnout of less than 75%, there should be another referendum.

A number of celebrities — who, based on public calls to action, appear to have largely been in favor of remaining in the EU — have both signed and drawn attention to the do-over request. “Sign, if you’d like to,” tweeted James Corden. “I have.

Beautiful, ruthless criminal Alex Faraday (Kurylenko – The November Man, Quantum of Solace) is forced to go on the run after witnessing one of her comrades being brutally murdered discovers her problems are only just beginning.

Quickly realising she has become involved in the work of a highly specialised international syndicate who seem to be searching for a key, Alex attempts to evade capture but finds herself in the midst of a high-octane and brutal game of cat and mouse, with the chillingly efficient Mr. Washington (Purefoy – John Carter Solomon Kane). It soon becomes apparent that he will stop at nothing to retrieve...

A robbery, (a diamond heist), comes off with what seems to be a minor glitch; one of the thieves, (all of them wearing identical body armor suits, head to toe, with voice altering microphones), is unmasked and can be identified by witnesses. All this during an argument by the thieves.

The unmasked robber is revealed to be not only a woman but young, and drop dead beautiful. This is Alex (Olga Kurylenko, Quantum of Solace, The Water Diviner), We learn that she was talked into this heist against her better judgment. She once had a relationship with the “brains” of this outfit.

Of course the thieves do not get away with their loot, a fortune in diamonds, without complications. Wouldn’t be an action movie if things didn’t get fouled up now would it? Turns out there is a flash drive among the jewels, with some very damaging and...

When Alex (Olga Kurylenko), an infiltration expert with a secret past, accidentally reveals her identity during what should have been a routine heist, she quickly finds herself mixed up in a government conspiracy and entangled in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a master assassin (James Purefoy) and his team of killers.

It looks like the voice of God is going to need some divine intervention if his new film is going to recoup its investment. Morgan Freeman.s Momentum just opened in the UK to an unbelievably horrible box office showing.  Movie flops happen all the time. But rarely does a film do so tragically that it fails to reach triple digits. That.s right, Momentum earned a whopping $69 from its UK release. You read that right. $69, total. While this number seems almost impossible, there are a few explanations that contribute to the dismal numbers. The Hollywood Reporter reports that the film was released in just 10 theaters nationwide. This means that the movie earned a staggering $6.90 per theater. Wow. And even with the minuscule amount of theaters showing Momentum, it is reported that up to two of those establishment failed to sell a single ticket. Momentum looked promising enough on paper.

Morgan Freeman‘s latest thriller, “Momentum” seemed to lack exactly that when it opened in the United Kingdom last weekend, making just $69. According to The Telegraph, while the film didn’t open wide, it only grossed £46 although it had a £20 million ($30 million) production budget. The film opened in only 10 cinemas across the country, roughly grossing £4.60 ($6.90) per cinema. However, two theaters didn’t sell any tickets at all. The film was also simultaneously released as a digital download, which, according to the publication, may have affected its performance.

The South Africa-set action film, co-starring Olga Kurylenko, is set to be one of the year’s biggest flops after taking just £46 in the UK on its opening weekend

Momentum, a thriller starring Olga Kurylenko and Morgan Freeman, never quite picked up speed, with a disastrous opening weekend in the UK.

The $20m-budget film, about a thief who becomes entangled in a terrorist plot, made just £46 from 10 sites, giving it a screen average of £4.60 per cinema. It screened in various regional locations, including Kidderminster, Hull and Morecambe. It was given a simultaneous digital release.

Olga Kurylenko hasn’t much to do except hit people and Freeman was probably thinking of his bank balance when he agreed to appear in this mess

Of the execrable Jaws: The Revenge, Michael Caine famously said: “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.” One hopes that Morgan Freeman feels the same way about the new kitchen for which Momentum presumably paid. Nothing other than home improvements can explain his involvement in this cack-handed heist thriller. Freeman quite literally phones in his performance as the senator whose primary role is to ring up James Purefoy and ask whether the job has been done yet. Said “job” involves hunting down a group of jewel thieves and retrieving a memory stick that contains vital blah blah blah blah blah.

Purefoy has fun as the...
