Madrid in Spain recently welcomed Hollywood star Richard Gere as a new resident.

He sold his Connecticut home to move to Madrid to be closer to Alejandra’s family and to immerse himself in her Spanish heritage.

Richard Gere makes a major move to Madrid, Spain

Richard Gere, 75, has made a major lifestyle change by relocating from the US to Spain to open a new life chapter with his family in Madrid. Gere and his wife Alejandro Silva share two boys, Alexander, five and James, four. Meanwhile, his wife also has a son, Albert, 11, from a previous relationship.

Gere recently sold his Connecticut estate for around €10.2 million ($10.9 million), a little less than the €10.3 million ($11 million) he paid for it.

Michael Douglas has been a part of the film industry for decades. He has curated a filmography of the greats, establishing himself as a legendary actor. Being an icon in the 80s and 90s also meant that he roamed around in all kinds of circles within the industry. During an older interview, the actor confessed that he used to be very good friends with Donald Trump.

This is quite surprising considering the reaction he had when he found out that Trump won the election. One cannot help but wonder what went wrong between the actor and the reality television host.

Michael Douglas and Donald Trump Were Buddies?

During an older interview with Tina Brown, Michael Douglas discussed his past with Donald Trump as well as his presidency. Starting off, he was asked if he knew Trump before he became the president. The...

After a politically charged week, Michael Douglas visited Bill Maher to discuss Donald Trump‘s victory.

As the 2x Oscar winner appeared Friday on Real Time with Bill Maher, he expressed his disappointment at the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, but offered his own personal silver lining.

“The other thing I just have to share, after Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, [I’m] just so pissed at this razor-thin race,” he told Maher. “It was gonna be so close, with all these polls … and it’s a wipeout. I had no idea how that could happen. So, I go down Wednesday morning to play golf just to clear my mind. I go play nine holes, and I get a hole-in-one.”

Referencing inflation and the death of the middle class, Douglas later said, “The very fact now that we can talk about Republicans as being the party for the people, and we are this elitist party on the left,...

Bill Maher capped a week of pop culture reaction to the comeback election of Donald Trump with a few zingers in his monologue on Friday’s edition of HBO’s “Real Time,” including confirmation that “I did not vote for the winner” and a telling disclosure about the West Hollywood pot shop that he co-owns with actor Woody Harrelson.

Maher took a moment to marvel at Trump’s decisive sweep on Election Night.

“Trump won all the swings, all seven — he ran the table. Trump won so big today, he called the Secretary of State in Georgia and he asked him to lose him 11,000 votes,” Maher said, a nod to the 2020 election controversy in Georgia that led to felony charges against the former President. “He has an amazing coalition. He kept the old crowd that likes him. He got a lot of new voters. He got a lot of people...

Miracles and Monsters Season 15 Episode 25 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Fatal Attraction,” titled “Miracles and Monsters,” promises to deliver a gripping story filled with suspense and intrigue. Set to air on TV One, this episode dives deep into the dark side of relationships and the chilling consequences that can arise from them.

In this episode, a couple faces a brutal attack that leaves the community shaken. As detectives work tirelessly to gather clues, they find themselves struggling to piece together the puzzle. The investigation takes a darker turn when another woman goes missing, leading the detectives to suspect that the two cases might be linked. This connection raises the stakes, adding urgency to their search for answers.

As the detectives dig deeper, they encounter a prime suspect who seems to be slipping through their fingers. This individual continues to evade justice,...

Hollywood’s most notable bombs are — sadly — just as well-known as its biggest hits, a factor that a new book joyously celebrates.

From British film critic Tim Robey, “Box Office Poison” digs up the dirt on some of cinema’s wildest misfires, from grand follies to misunderstood masterpieces, disastrous sequels to catastrophic literary adaptations, going behind the scenes to examine how they ended careers, bankrupted studios and changed film history.

Among the features in Robey’s crosshairs are David Lynch’s “Dune,” plus “Speed 2: Cruise Control,” “Gigli,” “Catwoman,” “Pan” and — of course — “Cats.”

In this exclusive extract from the book, being released by Hanover Square Press in the U.S. on Nov. 5, it’s the turn of the swashbuckling catastrophe that was Renny Harlin and Geana Davis’ “Cutthroat Island.” Costing upwards of $115 million to make, the watery flop sank almost without a trace in 1995, earning just $18.5 million globally and...

2013's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is widely regarded as a box office disappointment, if not an outright flop, but a new report reveals that the MCU threequel actually did turn a small - and we mean small - profit.

The third Ant-Man movie had a reported budget of around $200 million (before marketing costs), and ended up taking in $476 million worldwide by the end of its theatrical run. Analysts predicted that the movie would need to pass the $500 million mark just to break even, but not according to Forbes.

"The super hero flick debuted in February last year to a lukewarm reception and only grossed $476.07 million according to industry analyst Box Office Mojo. Studios typically receive around 50% of the takings meaning that Disney got around $238.05 million which was $92.05 million less than its net spending on making the movie, as we recently revealed."

Apparently, Quantumania earned a profit of $88,236 after expenses were factored in.

Netflix has a very odd pattern when it comes to the shows that it creates. It is often the case that what Netflix puts out ends up becoming popular, only for the streaming giant to make the devastating decision to cancel it. However, this courtesy is not extended to shows and films that end up not doing so well, and once again, it seems that a Netflix decision is going to backfire on the streaming service.

Squid Game || Credit: Netflix

The English adaptation of Squid Game has been green-lit by Netflix, and the show is to be helmed by David Fincher. This comes as especially devastating news for fans of the director, given that his groundbreaking series. Mindhunters was canceled by the streaming giant due to budget concerns that plagued the production of the show.

If Netflix can helm another Squid Game, why can’t it just give us Mindhunter...

David Fincher's getting back in the game with Netflix! Or, to be more specific, the Squid Game. That's right, folks — having worked on Mindhunter, Mank, The Killer, and Love, Death & Robots at the streamer already, word on the street is that the American auteur has his sights set on giving the platform's wildly popular satirical K-Drama the English-language remake treatment.

According to Deadline's 'The Dish' column, the long-rumoured US redux of Hwang Dong-hyuk's show is actively in the works at the streamer, and Fincher is gearing up to be the one to develop it. If the series does come to fruition, it'd be the first scripted project to spin off from the original Korean-language play-or-die thriller, which is itself set to continue with a second season dropping on Boxing Day this year before a third and final instalment lands sometime in 2025. Earlier rumours had positioned Fincher...

Netflix is all in on the "Squid Game" phenomenon. After the original series, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, became a global phenomenon and introduced a new generation (as well as people who don't normally watch things with subtitles) to the death game genre, Netflix decided to get on board the franchise train. Not only is season 2 fast approaching (with a third and final season recently announced), but there's also that horrendously misguided reality game show "Squid Game: The Challenge" which is getting a second season. Now, there's yet another "Squid Game" title on the way, with "Fight Club" and "Gone Girl" director David Fincher involved.

According to a new report by Deadline, Fincher is developing a new "Squid Game" project, rumored to be a TV series rather than a movie. Though details are virtually non-existent on what exactly this show will be, it is reported that the show is likely to...

Exclusive: While fans of the Netflix series Squid Game still have a couple months to go before the Season 2 premiere, they may be seeing this universe expand in a big way. Sources tell Deadline that a new English-language Squid Game series is in the works at the streamer, with David Fincher coming on to develop it.

Although details are vague, rumors have been growing for several months about what Fincher could be up to next. While he could squeeze in a movie beforehand, insiders say the Squid Game series is likely the project Fincher commits his time to in 2025.

This would mark the first Squid Game scripted series offshoot, though it is not the first universe extension for the Netflix blockbuster; there is also the unscripted series Squid Game: The Challenge, which has been renewed for a second season, along with a video game franchise.

A new public service announcement featuring likenesses of celebrities including Michael Douglas, Chris Rock and Amy Schumer aims to warn voters about AI deepfakes, including those that could be unleashed on Election Day to try to suppress the vote.

The spot is from RepresentUS, a nonpartisan anti-corruption organization that includes figures like Ed Helms and Jennifer Lawrence on its board.

The central aim of the spot is to warn voters of messages that seek to dissuade people from voting. Before the New Hampshire primary, a robocall deepfake of Joe Biden’s voice was sent to voters that tried to discourage them from casting a ballot.

Others likenesses featured in the spot include Laura Dern and Orlando Bloom, while the real Rosario Dawson and Jonathan Scott appear at the end.

According to RepresentUS, the likenesses of the celebrities were used with permission.

Any film with an ensemble Hollywood royalty cast is almost always guaranteed to be a box office hit. Last Vegas is an incredibly inventive play on words, featuring a group of retirees looking to have one last rodeo together in the world’s gambling capital. Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, and Morgan Freeman – the cast probably couldn’t get any more box office if it tried – although rumors were circulating at the time that Jack Nicholson would be involved.

Film production and setting

Once the film’s production was underway, it became clear that Nicholson had bypassed the project. He can be very selective of his work now that he’s in the twilight years of his life, starring in only two films since his incredible performance in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. Yet, maybe his intuition about what it takes to make a good film might have played a...

Searchlight Pictures’ top international exec Katie Goodson-Thomas has acknowledged the constant battle the specialty studio has against the deep-pockets of streamers when it comes to securing projects.

Speaking at an industry talk at the BFI London Film Festival, Goodson-Thomas, head of international production and development, said that Searchlight being “priced out” by streamers was something “that happens on a daily basis, it really does.”

She added: “But we just can’t be competitive with Netflix of Apple or Amazon.”

Goodson-Thomas pointed to Emerald Fennell — someone she said she’d “love to work with” — and her upcoming “Wuthering Heights” adaptation, a film Searchlight simply wouldn’t have the finances to support. “But I think she’s an extraordinary filmmaker and I want her film to be made so I’m happy for her to go to those people who have the money to finance it,” she said.

A Deadly Dose Season 14 Episode 48 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Fatal Attraction,” titled “A Deadly Dose,” promises to delve into a complex and gripping story. Set to air on TV One, this episode centers around the mysterious death of a hardworking immigrant. When she is discovered beside two empty pill bottles and a handwritten note, it initially appears to be a straightforward case of suicide. However, as the investigation unfolds, the detectives find that the truth is far more complicated.

Detectives begin their work by speaking with those closest to the victim. They soon uncover layers of her life that suggest there may be more to the story than a simple suicide. The episode will explore the relationships and circumstances surrounding her death, revealing secrets and motives that complicate the case further. As the detectives dig deeper, they face challenges that test their skills and instincts.

Veteran actor Jack Nicholson is known for his signature style of psychotic acting, which he achieved the peak of in films like The Shining, The Departed, and his Oscar-winning role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Based on the book of the same name, the latter reportedly had a long journey to production and eventually won big.

Nicholson mentioned that his process in acting involved finding what he called the ‘secret’ to each character. He said that his character Randy McMurphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest was a man who genuinely believed that he would be able to seduce the villainous Nurse Ratched and that is what guided his entire performance.

When people think of Basic Instinct, it’s hard to recall the movie without imagining Sharon Stone’s iconic performance as Catherine Tramell. But believe it or not, Stone’s journey to the film was marked by significant obstacles, starting from the audition to the credits. According to the actress, she was apparently one of the last people producers wanted, since they had their eyes set on a Marvel actress.

According to Sharon Stone, while she was the 13th person to be offered the role, producers actually wanted the Ant-Man and the Wasp star Michelle Pfeiffer to agree to the role of Catherine Tramell. Unfortunately, after Pfeiffer rejected and so did the other 11 actresses, Stone was eventually offered the role. But that wasn’t the end of her struggles—the actress revealed that she was not allowed to have her name on the poster.

Catherine Zeta-Jones may have dazzled audiences in Entrapment, but one offhand remark from Sean Connery left her with a lingering regret. During filming, Connery’s casual comment about her fitting the mold of a Bond girl didn’t sit well with Zeta-Jones, who was determined to break free from stereotypical roles.

Despite her performance, the idea of being typecast as just a sidekick in the spy world rubbed her the wrong way. It was a moment that left her reflecting on the roles women play in action films. For Zeta-Jones, this remains a missed opportunity for something more empowering, and it’s a regret that sticks with her to this day.

After coming up short on his first two Best Actor Oscar bids for “Walk the Line” and “The Master,” Joaquin Phoenix took the gold in 2020 for “Joker.” The film reaped a whopping 11 Oscar nominations and cracked the billion dollar mark at the box office.

Early in his career, Denzel Washington received some crucial advice from Sidney Poitier, the gist of which was that, as a young Black actor attempting to make his mark in the early 1980s, Hollywood would only give him three or four roles before passing judgment on his value as performer. There weren't many non-comedic Black stars to begin with at the time (especially with the then 50-something Poitier in the midst of a lengthy on-screen hiatus that lasted from 1977's "A Piece of the Action" to 1988's "Shoot to Kill"), so Washington's margin of error must've felt particularly slim, regardless of his undeniable talent.

He took the message to heart. There was a lot working against him in the white-dominated industry. And even if he "made it," the paucity of opportunities meant the competition to remain a prominent actor would always be fierce.

After the commercial and critical failure of his debut feature,...

Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio’s coming-of-age saga “In the Summers” took top honors at this year’s 50th edition of the Deauville American Film Festival, claiming both the Grand Prize and the Fondation Louis Roeder Revelation Prize, awarded by a parallel jury.

At once intimate and expansive, the film traces a Latin-American family portrait, using four vignettes to span two decades while following the evolving and often challenged relationship two siblings share with their father, played by Puerto Rican rap great Residente. “In the Summers” had previously won the grand jury prize and the director award out of Sundance, and is set for release by Music Box Films next week.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of French cinema so it was already an honor to show my film at the Deauville American Film Festival,” the director tells Variety. “To win was unbelievable; [I’m] incredibly grateful. I hope this allows more...

On my show, I won’t just talk you through the news of the day – I’ll underscore the larger issues spinning our country out of control.”

Captain America: Civil War was a landmark film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, featuring an epic clash between Captain America and Iron Man. But amidst all these action-packed sequences and intense drama, the flashbacks took the cake.

There were flashbacks of a young Tony Stark with his deceased parents in that movie, which added a touch of nostalgia to it. It took enormous efforts and special effects to achieve this look-in-the-golden day. The head of the special effects stated that they used Robert Downey Jr.’s face from his old movies when creating his teenage face.

He had a hero’s welcome and a standing ovation as he received his award from French actress Ludivine Sagnier who starred with him on the TV mini-series Franklin, about the US Founding Father Benjamin Franklin who spent eight years in France to secure support for the American Revolution.

Michael Douglas reminisced about meeting his now wife Catherine Zeta-Jones at France’s Deauville American Film Festival in 1998 as he received a career tribute on Friday, the opening night of the milestone 50th anniversary edition.

Douglas, who was introduced on stage by his “Franklin” co-star Ludivine Sagnier (“Lupin”) and drew a long standing ovation, went on to talk — partly in French — about his long history with the Deauville Film Festival and precisely the “slight issue of Catherine.”

“I had just seen three weeks before I came to the festival this movie ‘Zorro,’ ‘Mon Dieu!,” joked Douglas. “When I arrived supporting our film, I think it was ‘Perfect Murder,’ I look at the catalogue and I see that ‘Zorro’ is coming the next night, so I ask my assistant, ‘Can you find out if Catherine Zeta-Jones is coming?’ And is she coming alone and if I could have a drink with her.

Actor Michael Keaton has a diverse filmography to boast of. From superhero movies to comedies to dramas, he has dipped his toes in all different pools and come out successful. But did you know that Michael Keaton is not his real name? The actor was born as Michael Douglas, but since another actor by the same name was already in the Screen Actors Guild, Keaton had to change his to become a part of it.

There was no fanfare in choosing his stage name. The actor looked at a phone directory and chose his stage name at random. But now, after decades in the industry, it seems like he wants to go back to his roots and adopt his real name alongside his stage name. But it’s not like Michael Keaton is the first person to forego his...

Michael Keaton is one of the most recognized actors in all of Hollywood. Recently, the legendary actor announced that he would be changing his name for the first time in nearly 50 years. So, why is the Batman actor doing this after all this time?

Michael Keaton Has A Legendary Acting Career Spanning Decades

When you think of both versatility and longevity in Hollywood, Michael Keaton is one of those names that comes up. He has had some iconic roles over the years, including in the cult classic Beetlejuice. He is also one of the few actors out there capable of saying that they have been Batman as well.

He is right at home making comedic turns as he is playing the hero or the villain. Not a lot of working actors out there today can brag about this level of versatility and actually back it up. Michael Keaton is exactly that kind of actor,...

This year’s Venice Film Festival lineup was not only the starriest in recent history, it was also the steamiest. Literally and figuratively. Aside from the brutal heatwave that plagued festivalgoers, the roster was filled with sexually charged movies, ranging from “Babygirl,” starring Nicole Kidman, to Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” with Daniel Craig. Elsewhere in the festival circuit, Audrey Diwan’s “Emmanuelle” is kicking off San Sebastian, while Alain Guiraudie’s “Misericordia,” which opened at Cannes, is playing at virtually every major fest this fall.

But like Kidman’s character in “Babygirl” who only gets triggered when something is at stake, erotic movies in 2024 aren’t created as mere entertainment as they once were; they exist to push boundaries and break down clichés revolving mainly around female and gay protagonists.

“Babygirl,” directed by Dutch helmer Halina Reijn (“Bodies Bodies Bodies”), tackles the complexity of female sexuality and the issue of...
