Taz Skylar was the talk of the town back in 2023 when he wowed audiences as the smooth-talking Sanji in Netflix’s One Piece live-action series. But in Cleaner, he will be wearing a completely different cap. This time, he’s Noah, dangerous, unpredictable, and nothing like the character fans know him for.

Stepping into My Fault: London, I wondered why they would make a remake of a globally popular movie so soon after its success. But the film makes subtle changes that definitely bring a newness to the story, more specifically for what’s coming next. There is one major difference between My Fault: London and Culpa Mia: Nick isn’t estranged from his mother. Here’s your spoiler warning for Culpa Tuya if you haven’t seen that one. In the Spanish films, Nick is estranged from his biological mother but close to his younger sister, who he believes is a half-sister.

Filmmaker Ridley Scott is known for his opulent commercial films that usually tackle larger-than-life subjects. While most of Scott’s films have been critical or commercial hits, some of them have been absolute duds, including the 2014 biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings, based on the story of Prophet Moses from the Bible. However, the film was criticized for its casting choices.

After the film’s all-white cast was announced, Scott faced heavy backlash and accusations of white-washing. Scott defended his decision to cast Caucasian actors in the movie over staying true to the ethnic roots of the biblical figures. However, Scott’s explanation was bewildering and rather bizarre. Here is how Ridley Scott defended Exodus: Gods and Kings’ casting choices.

Why Did George Clooney Turn Down Noah Calhoun Role In The Notebook? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Imagine George Clooney playing Noah Calhoun in The Notebook. Hard to picture, right? That’s because it almost happened, but George himself put the brakes on it. In a shocking reveal during a virtual panel at the 64th BFI London Film Festival, Clooney confessed that he was supposed to play the young Noah, with Paul Newman set to take on the older version. However, George quickly pulled out. Why? He didn’t feel he could match up to Newman’s legendary looks.

According to Pop Sugar, Clooney shared, “We were going to do The Notebook together… I was going to play him as a young man. It’s funny, we met, said, ‘This is it. It’s going to be great.’” But after watching some of Newman’s iconic films, Clooney had second thoughts. “He...

St. Denis Medical has been a breakout hit for NBC, but its overlap with beloved sitcom Superstore could prematurely stunt its growth. Both series were created by Justin Spitzer (with Eric Ledgin co-creating NBC’s modern sitcom). But while St. Denis Medical’s cast of characters is talented, some names are familiar to the point of being a double-edged sword. Having multiple actors recognizable for a single role in a different show is risky for the medical workplace mockumentary that’s still trying to set itself apart from contemporaries.

On a basic level, the small connection makes NBC’s newest comedy an appealing show for Superstore fans, but it almost guarantees that St. Denis Medical will never be more than a Superstore replacement. In that sense, the medical comedy will always live in its predecessor’s shadow. Since there’s yet to be a confirmed order for St. Denis Medical...

Jennifer Connelly started acting at age 12 will a small part in Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon A Time In America” (1984). She achieved mainstream success in Jim Henson’s “Labyrinth” (1985), and shortly after graduated to more adult roles. However, due to her stunning looks she was often relegated to play either the hero’s girlfriend or the main character’s mistress.

She wouldn’t receive widespread critical recognition until “Requiem For A Dream” (2000) and “A Beautiful Mind” (2001), the latter of which would earn her an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress. While Connelly is still often called upon to play the romantic interest, she has proven herself to be talented and versatile enough to make those characters more complicated.

In addition to her Oscar, Globe and BAFTA success, Connelly earned SAG bids for “A Beautiful Mind” (Actress and Ensemble), an additional Critics Choice nomination for...

While the Harry Potter franchise spawned numerous blockbuster careers, one period drama from 2019 is still the best thing that any of its young stars have done since. The Harry Potter movies brought their stars into fame at a young age, making Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, and Emma Watson household names before the actors had even entered their teens. The best movies that Harry Potter cast members have made since the series ended are proof that they had talent to spare, but not all of their ambitious projects have paid off in the 13 years since 2011.

Since her breakout through the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson has turned eyes with her phenomenal performances through a myriad of projects. But surprisingly, she has never broken hearts, until her interview with Smosh. Apparently, following her appearance in Noah, Watson sat for a conversation on the show, when she ended up having a prank session with the producer and a superfan.

Discussing various topics, Emma Watson was suddenly asked about her Wonderland interview with J.K.

Based on that very topic, Watson was asked about which character she might have chosen as her partner. Guess who she named?

The first-ever pirate in One Piece, Joy Boy, is responsible for a lot of major occurrences in the series. From hiding the One Piece treasure to indirectly saving the Straw Hat Pirates during the Egghead Island arc, Joy Boy holds a lot of importance, and Eiichiro Oda is going to soon focus on his character and reveal more details about him.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Joy Boy’s character is his name. According to the narrative, Joy Boy’s real name was something else, and he was just given this name as a title. However, his real name is yet to be revealed in One Piece, and fans have been waiting for it for the longest time.

While fans wait, a One Piece theory has dropped a major hint about how Oda has already foreshadowed Joy Boy’s real name.

Over the years, there has been more than one instance in the entertainment industry where the actors were actually asked by the filmmakers to work past their limits or go to other extreme measures just to get their roles or scenes right for the particular project. Turns out, director Darren Aronofsky is no stranger to making his actors undergo the same either.

Though he is a commendable filmmaker, Aronofsky’s works don’t come to fruition without having his actors go through a grueling process to make the project perfect. The same was the case with his 2014 film Noah as well, which had Black Widow actor Ray Winstone pretty much lose movement in his right arm because the director wanted to make the perfect biblical apocalypse film.

Hugh Jackman created one of his most fan-favorite films when he collaborated with director Darren Aronofsky for The Fountain. Aronofsky is primarily known for his psychological tales incorporating surreal and unsettling facets. Despite not being a critical or commercial success like his other films, The Fountain later earned a cult classic tag.

Just like most Darren Aronofsky films, The Fountain also had an unconventional story. The 2006 flick starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz featured three versions of the duo woven by love across time and space. Some critics argued that at times, the film’s concept was too bizarre to grasp and the conclusion fell too hard despite an interesting story.

Nonetheless, Hugh Jackman asserted that the film turned his career forever. He added that the responses he gets for it are deeper and far more impactful than...

The Young and the Restless alum Hunter King, who previously portrayed Summer on the soap, shared an exciting update with fans. She gave them a glimpse into the best day of her life. Find out the details.

Overcome With Joy

You can feel the joy radiating out of this video. King posted a reel to her Instagram page. The scene sounds like something out of a soap opera. She walked along the beach with her boyfriend, Chris Copier. The couple brought along their beloved dogs.

But Copier no longer wants to be King’s boyfriend anymore. He wants to be her husband. He got down on one knee and popped the question. The soap alum jumped up and down. She excitedly said, “I will.” King jumped down and kissed Copier on the lips.

“Best day of my life [Chris Copier]. I can’t wait to marry your ass,” she captioned the video.

Lupita Nyong’o had to lose her Kenyan accent in order to become an American actor and take on different Hollywood roles, and she said during a recent episode of the “What Now? With Trevor Noah” podcast that it “felt like a betrayal” to herself when she made that decision. The Oscar winner was born in Mexico but spent her childhood in Kenya. She attended Yale School of Drama in the U.S. before breaking big in Hollywood.

“The first permission I gave myself to change my accent or allow my accent to transform was going to drama school,” Nyong’o said (via Entertainment Weekly). “I went to drama school because I didn’t want to just be an instinctive actor. I wanted to understand my instrument. I wanted to know what I was good at, what I was not good at, and work on the things that I wasn’t good at.

The best Mark Margolis movies and TV shows include a strong mix of truly classic films and groundbreaking television shows that legitimize his place in Hollywood history. Margolis was trained by the best, learning under Stella Adler at the Actors Studio and then trained by Lee Strasberg, the teacher who mastered method acting. This led to Margolis getting his start in stage plays before finally moving on to movies in 1976. He then caught the eye of Brian De Palma, and the rest is history.

Margolis enjoyed an early breakout role in the De Palma classic masterpiece Scarface. That earned him enough attention to pick up supporting roles in several movies. His career took an interesting direction in 1998 when Darren Aronofsky cast him in his debut film, Pi. That led to Aronofsky casting Margolis in almost every movie he made after that until Noah in 2014. Margolis remains most known to younger...

Russell Crowes divisive epic movie Noah gets a glowing review from VFX artists 10 years after its original release. Inspired by Noahs Ark, the biblical drama follows a man (Crowe), chosen by God to construct a vessel for his family and various animals to brave an impending apocalyptic flood. Along with Crowe, the cast of Noah includes Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, and more. The film, directed by Darren Aronofsky, earned over $359 million at the box office, and though met with polarizing reactions, audiences praised the effects.

In the recent "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGI" video, Corridor Crew looked at several moments from Noah. When it came to digitally creating all of those animals, Niko explained: "This is so impressive because you have to have an artist effectively model each one of these creatures." They also discussed the process, with Jordan revealing how skeletons were made for certain animals,...

Jim Henson's 1986 film "Labyrinth" is a deeply beloved classic among kids of a certain age. It presents the raw sexuality of David Bowie, playing a sexy goblin lord in tights, his bulging package kickstarting millions of kids' puberties. At the beginning of the film, the main character, the 16-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) wants nothing more than to live in a fantasy world, happy to remain in her pretty-princess phase indefinitely. However, when Bowie's goblin king kidnaps her baby brother Toby (Toby Froud), she learns that living in such a world is wild and off-putting. Most of the film is a random, light adventure, but one scene points out that Sarah is unduly clinging onto her childhood trinkets.

Fortunately for Netflix, Nobody Wants This is definitely not living up to its title: The comedy from writer/actress Erin Foster is currently No. 1 on the platform and is already considering what a season 2 would look like.

Here, Foster and her sister Sara — who is an EP on the show and co-host with Erin on “The World’s First Podcast” — talk about the comedy’s semi-autobiographical evolution, how no one except Netflix wanted it, and how “this story, hands down, is good for Jewish people.”

Smith doesn't play the baseball player; that honor goes to Austin Butler, lately of Dune: Part II and Elvis.

It might be unbelievable, but it’s true, and Miura is not alone in this phenomenon. Many popular mangakas feel insecure about their works, even after their creations have become popular.

Known as Hermione, the brightest witch of her age, Emma Watson became an overnight sensation when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was released in 2001. But what most don’t know is that her journey to stardom was almost derailed by the very thing that made her famous.

As a child actor, Watson was thrust into the spotlight at just nine years old. While the Harry Potter movies catapulted her to global fame, it also took a toll on her mental health. The actress almost quit the industry while filming for the last few movies. It took a great deal of strength and her passion for the project for her to continue with it, despite feeling immensely burnt out.

The global superstar joins Zoë Kravitz and Austin Butler in the Sony Pictures crime thriller, based on Charlie Huston’s novel of the same name. It is unknown who the artist will portray in the film adaptation.

Nikki Glaser was nominated for her first Emmy in July for her HBO special Someday You’ll Die. That day, she told Deadline that she wanted to parlay that show’s success, as well as her breakout appearance at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, into three things: working with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, sitting in a VIP box for a Taylor Swift show and hosting SNL.

Less than a month on, it seems that the latter is happening.

Glaser, speaking at Deadline’s Contenders Television: The Nominees event, said there’s “interest” from the NBC late-night show. “I think I would kill it,” she said.

Glaser, who has been working in comedy for more than 20 years, knows that she needs to take advantage of this moment, where she was one of the stars of Netflix’s biggest-ever live event and her stand-up special broke records for HBO and Max....

Zoë Kravitz is in talks to join Austin Butler in Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The film is based on the book of the same name by Charlie Huston, who also wrote the script. The story, per the logline, follows Hank Thompson, a burned-out former baseball player, who’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of 1990s New York City.

Together, they’ve worked on the director’s π, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Noah, Mother! and The Whale; as well as Tobias Lindholm’s The Good Nurse, Pablo Larraín’s Jackie, Lance Oppenheim’s Some Kind of Heaven, Josef Kubota Wladyka’s Catch the Fair One and Alex Pritz’s documentary The Territory.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes made $394.7 million worldwide, surpassing its $160 million budget. The film performed below expectations, falling short of the previous trilogy's box office success. Despite not reaching the projected $500 million, Kingdom of the Apes is still considered a modest success.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth movie as part of the modern reboot of the original five-film narrative.

Gena Rowlands is living with Alzheimer’s disease, her son Nick Cassavetes announced in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. Cassavetes, who directed his mother in 2004’s “The Notebook,” said Rowlands is “in full dementia.” A four-time Emmy winner and two-time Golden Globe winner, Rowlands is a screen icon best known for her acclaimed collaborations with husband John Cassavetes, including the films “A Woman Under the Influence” (1974) and “Gloria” (1980). Both performances earned her Oscar nominations for best actress. She received an honorary Academy Award in 2015.

Nick Cassavetes told Entertainment Weekly that his mother’s Alzheimer’s disease is made all the more surreal for him considering he directed her as a woman with dementia in “The Notebook.”

“I got my mom to play older Allie, and we spent a lot of time talking about Alzheimer’s and wanting to be authentic with it, and now, for the last five years,...

The Boys season 4 premieres its first three episodes on Thursday, June 13.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has had fans of the franchise hooked ever since its release. The film acts as a fresh take on the iconic film series, following a world long after the events of the War of the Planet of the Apes. It also has an exceptional cast of actors, as well as Wes Ball as its director.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

The film paid homage to the original Planet of the Apes in many ways, having several scenes reminiscent of the classic. While many fans thought this would end their affair, the director seems to have other intentions. Could the Charlton Heston classic get a sequel almost 60 years after its release?

A Revival of the Planet of the Apes?

Wes Ball recently gave an interview with IndieWire, where he talked about his recently released film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

Wes Ball's "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" stands on the shoulders of the most recent trilogy that came before it and the legacy of fallen chimpanzee leader, Caesar (Andy Serkis). That trilogy contains some of the strongest entries in the entire series, which meant Ball's venture had huge shoes to fill. Fortunately, "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" has already proven to be a critical hit, which has many thinking it could be the start of another trilogy.

Taking place hundreds of years after the events of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," and "War for the Planet of the Apes," all of the events are inching audiences closer and closer to 1968's "Planet of the Apes" set in the year 3978, where a human astronaut crash-lands on a planet inhabited by intelligent apes, unaware that the planet is...
