Jude Law doesn’t seem like the type to lead a Star Wars installment, but he is going all-in for the upcoming series Skeleton Crew, headlining as Jod Na Nawood. It’s also only one of a handful of shows Law has been in.
Speaking on why he decided to finally join the Star Wars force, so to speak, Jude Law said it took a lot of contemplation because of the scale of the series. “I don’t think I would have dived in willy-nilly. I wanted it to be right. I didn’t want to be the guy that dropped the ball on Star Wars.” Oh, don’t worry, Jude, plenty of people have beaten you to the punch on that one…

Justin Kurzel and Zack Baylin team up to create the American crime thriller The Order. The film is based on Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt’s 1989 nonfiction novel The Silent Brotherhood, which follows an FBI agent going after a white supremacist group called the Order. The gritty, intense, high-stakes action thriller stars Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult and Tye Sheridan. The Order played at the 2024 AFI Film Festival.
The Order Review
The Order is set in 1983 when an Idaho-based FBI agent follows a pattern of bank robberies, armored car heists, and counterfeiting operations terrorizing the Pacific Northwest. The agent sets out to prove that a radical leader named Bob Matthews is leading the charge, not a prototypical organized crime.
The heist-crime genre is by far one of my favorite movies. What Justin Kurzel captures within The Order is nothing short of spectacular. Several jaw-dropping moments throughout this film will haunt you because of the sheer,...

If you were hoping the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise would return, I wouldn’t hold your breath. Eddie Redmayne, who stars in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as Newt Scamander, gave a less-than-optimistic update while speaking with ComicBook.com.
“I think they probably have [seen the last of Newt],” Redmayne said. “That was a very frank answer, but yeah. And that’s as far as I know. I mean, you’d have to speak to the people at Warner Bros. and J.K Rowling, but as far as I know, that’s it. I think he may come back in a glimpse in the Universal world in Florida that they’re opening up, in which you may catch a glimpse of what he was up to in Paris.“
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them got the franchise off to a good start, grossing $811 million worldwide. Unfortunately, the sequel, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,...

This December, Disney+ will finally release Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, another TV series set during the same post-Return of the Jedi period as The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.
Jude Law being cast as the mysterious Jod Na Nawood, a character widely believed to be a Jedi, has increased interest in the show and getting to head into a Galaxy Far, Far Away isn't a responsibility the British actor took lightly.
"I don’t think I would have dived in willy-nilly," he recently told Variety (via SFFGazette.com) of his meeting to discuss the project with Spider-Man franchise filmmaker Jon Watts. "I wanted it to be right. I didn’t want to be the guy that dropped the ball on 'Star Wars.'"
"It all has to go through the ‘Star Wars’ filter," Law added. "Like, there are no buttons in ‘Star Wars’ — only ties. Buckles? Yes. Velcro? Yes. Although, I...

Jude Law’s most beloved character Mr. Napkin Head almost had a very different origin story.
While fans of Nancy Meyers’ 2006 “The Holiday” are well-versed in the lore of Law’s single father character donning a white napkin over his face and wearing glasses, it turns out that the bit was originally for an entirely different movie: “Alfie.”
Law told Variety that the Mr. Napkin Head scene was cut from the 2004 feature, and Meyers took inspiration from it.
“I’d actually done Mr. Napkin Head before,” Law says. “I did ‘Alfie’ with Charles Shyer, who had been married to Nancy Meyers. And Charles included Mr. Napkin Head in ‘Alfie,’ but the scene got cut. And then I did Nancy’s film, and Mr. Napkin Head was in that.”

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is a little over a month away, and every sneak peek of the show through promotional material ramps up the excitement.
The latest look comes from Variety, where this month's issue features Jude Law on the cover. In an in depth interview with Ramin Setoodeh, Law discussed how he didn't jump into his Star Wars role right away. In fact, it was something he was hesitant about. He revealed he had multiple conversations with showrunner Jon Watts.
"I don’t think I would have dived in willy-nilly,” Law told Setoodeh, citing that he was nervous about the part. “I wanted it to be right. I didn’t want to be the guy that dropped the ball on ‘Star Wars.’” Which is valid. Star Wars is such a huge franchise with a passionate fanbase. Some fans are known to be critical, sometimes to the level of harassing actors.

The ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise is one of the most popular of all time. However, that popularity seemingly didn’t help the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise, as the spinoff films earned far less than the ‘Hp’ films. And so much money was lost, it appears the franchise won’t get to finish its story, according to a couple of ‘Fantastic Beasts’ stars.
Speaking to Variety, while promoting his upcoming film “The Order,” Jude Law was asked about the status of the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films.

I can’t keep up with him.
On a recent September afternoon, Jude Law is running away from the set of “Black Rabbit,” a Netflix miniseries where he plays a Manhattan nightclub owner who welcomes his troublemaker brother back into his life. Today’s setup, shot in the South Street Seaport, involves a flashback sequence between Law’s character and his scraggly sibling, played by Jason Bateman. Law and I are supposed to meet in the lobby of a hotel after the scene wraps, but filming goes over, and his assistant, Ryan, texts me that Law wants to talk to me as he walks to his trailer a few blocks away. But by the time I make it outside, he’s already a distant figure on the horizon.

Actor Billy Zane will debut his portrayal of legendary actor Marlon Brando later this month at the Torino Film Festival in Italy. Zane plays Brando in the film “Waltzing With Brando,” which will close out the 42nd edition of the prestigious festival. The film focuses on an unusual period in Brando’s life when he juggled roles in “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.” It also explores his plans to build a sustainable retreat on the remote island of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia.
Directed by Bill Fishman, “Waltzing With Brando” tells the true story of how Brando recruited architect Bernard Judge to help design and build the eco-friendly retreat in the early 1970s. According to festival artistic director Giulio Base, Zane brings an intense focus and understanding to his role as Brando. Base told an entertainment publication that viewers “won’t believe it” and that Zane appears “possessed” by Brando in the performance.

Billy Zane is set to make the trek to Italy’s Torino Film Festival which has secured the world premiere of hotly anticipated indie film “Waltzing With Brando” directed by Bill Fishman in which Zane plays Marlon Brando during the period when he was preparing to star in “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.”
“Waltzing With Brando,” which is is based on a memoir by the iconic actor’s architect, Bernard Judge, is the tale of how Brando plucked Judge, who was then an idealistic Los Angeles architect, from his stable existence and convinced him that he should build the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on the tiny uninhabitable Tahitian island of Tetiaroa.
The bulk of the film was shot on Tetiaroa, where Brando and Judge tried to spearhead sustainable architecture and practices.

Following a pair of box office hits “Black Box” and “A Perfect Man,” hot French filmmaker Yann Gozlan is now directing Cécile de France (“The Young Pope”), Lars Mikkelsen (“House of Cards”) and French music icon Mylène Farmer in “The Residence,” a tense psychological thriller revolving around AI.
Gaumont is co-producing and handling international sales on the high-concept movie whose first still is being unveiled by Variety. Gaumont’s EVP of international sales and distribution Alexis Cassanet and his team will be teasing the buzzy French project to buyers at the AFM.
Set in a near future, “The Residence” follows Clarissa (De France), a novelist with writer’s block who joins a prestigious, state-of-the-art artist residency where she’s been assigned an AI assistant named Dalloway (Farmer). The latter quickly becomes more than a simple assistant and turns into a true confidante for Clarissa. Feeling unsettled by Dalloway’s increasingly intrusive presence,...

Star Wars has many intriguing spin-offs of the movies, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is building interest and suspense with every new detail released. The series created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford centers around four children, and their efforts to get home after an adventure lead them into parts unknown. It features Jude Law as a Force-using quick-thinker, but a recently released photo shows him doing some serious contemplation that has far-reaching implications.
Via ScreenRant, we have a glimpse of this significant Easter egg in a new photo from a new issue of Empire Magazine. In it, we can see Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood reading an inscription on a cavern wall. This is set "in Wild Space, a vast unexplored sector of space that includes the very outskirts of the galaxy."

Empire Magazine has been giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at Star Wars' upcoming live-action series, Skeleton Crew.
Via ScreenRant, Empire has confirmed that Skeleton Crew is "set concurrently with The Mandalorian and Ahsoka." Earlier, rumors suggested the show was set sometime during The Mandalorian Season 1, but taking place concurrently with Season 3 and Ahsoka makes more sense and opens the door to cameos from characters within the timeline.
News: Kb (Kyriana Kratter) and Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) appear in a snowy environment in this new image from #SkeletonCrew, released by @empiremagazine.

As an avowed defender of the Ewok films, regular /Film readers shouldn't be surprised to see yours truly's byline on this article. The two TV movies about the teddy bear-like inhabitants of the forest moon of Endor made by Lucasfilm in the 1980s -- 1984's "Caravan of Courage: The Ewok Adventure" and 1985's "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" -- may no longer be canon to the "Star Wars" franchise under the watchful eyes of Mickey Mouse and friends, yet their pulpy sci-fi/fantasy adventure ethos has continued to manifest itself in the property, most recently with "The Mandalorian" season 3. Now, it appears at least one element of the Ewok films is about to become canonical thanks to "Skeleton Crew," the upcoming "Goonies"-esque "Star Wars" series that, similar to "Caravan of Courage" and "The Battle for Endor," follows a group of youngsters in over their heads on a most unexpected adventure.

Skeleton Crew is hopefully going to be a refreshing new take on the franchise that the fans will love. It will definitely be something new that live-action Star Wars fans can enjoy, as there is no other such project out there like Skeleton Crew; such stories could only be enjoyed by those who read the books or the comics until now.
The series will star Jude Law as a mysterious Force user named Jod Na Nawood, and a group of child actors. Their characters get lost in space and now Jod has to help them get back home in a world that is not really pleasant or gentle towards the youngest.
But, aside from having a big name in front of the camera, the series will also feature several major names behind the camera, as showrunner Jon Watts, best known as the director of Tom Holland’s MCU Spider-Man trilogy,...

The show is going to air later this year and it should be worth noting that – with everything we know about the series – the expectations are high.
The project has been described as something completely new for the franchise, and based on what we’ve seen in the teasers so far, it is going to be something completely different. The fans will be able to enjoy a wholly different perspective on the franchise, something that – up until this point – only book and comics fans were able to enjoy.

"Ford and I sat down like, 'Who are our favourite directors, who would be good at this?'" said Watts. "We went out to all you guys, and you all said yes. No-one turned it down!

Across the Star Wars saga, all kinds of legendary filmmakers have come out to play – from George Lucas kicking it all off (alongside Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand), to Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams in the sequel era, and the likes of Jon Favreau, Bryce Dallas Howard, Carl Weathers, Robert Rodriguez, and Kogonada helming episodes of the streaming series. But even by Star Wars standards, upcoming series Skeleton Crew – a galactic pirate adventure, in which four suburban kids get lost in the vastness of space and have to find their way home – boasts a particularly stellar roster of filmmakers.
Jon Watts – of the Spider-Man MCU trilogy – devised the show along with his longtime collaborator and friend Christopher Ford, and together the pair assembled an who’s-who of directing talent: Bryce Dallas Howard and Twisters' Lee Isaac Chung return after their Mandalorian episodes; longtime Star Wars devotee David Lowery (The Green...

Vertical ha publicado el primer tráiler y póster de The Order, el thriller policíaco dirigido por Justin Kurzel y escrito por el guionista Zach Baylin, que tuvo su estreno mundial en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Venecia.
La película, basada en los hechos reales descritos en el libro de 1989 The Silent Brotherhood, de Kevin Flynn y Gary Gerhardt, se ambienta en el noroeste del Pacífico en los años 80. El agente del FBI Terry Husk (Law) se convence de que una serie de audaces y violentos atracos a bancos y furgones blindados a plena luz del día son obra de una banda de supremacistas blancos, liderada por Bob Mathews (Hoult), que planea utilizar el dinero para financiar atentados terroristas a gran escala contra el gobierno de Estados Unidos.

I am generally indifferent to collage style posters, particularly when designers transitioned from hand-painted to photoshop. However, I do admire the commitment to verticality taken by design house, Fable, for Justin Kurzel's neo-nazi procedural, The Order. The pull quotes, the above the line credits, festival laurel, the title, even the American flag, and Nicholas Hoult's pump action all emphasize the top-down approach here. The only outlier here is Jude Law pointing his firearm off screen. As an aside, Law is giving a magnificently haggard character-actor performance here, riffing on a specific kind Nick Offerman americana. Given its early 1980s setting, the poster here goes with a burnt cream (not sepia!) colour palette, which I am also digging here. The whole package comes together without looking too busy...

Nicholas Hoult and Jude Law were kept apart for the first few weeks while they were filming new thriller 'The Order'.The actors star in Justin Kurzel’s crime movie with Law playing an FBI agent named Terry Husk tasked with investigating a white supremacist group called the Order with Hoult playing the group's leader Bob Mathews - and the pair were not allowed to meet until their filmed their first scene together to amp up the tension.During a screening of the film in Los Angeles on Tuesday (15.10.24), Hoult told the audience: "We’d shot for three, maybe four, weeks before that [first meeting]."It added to the energy on set, where I’d get a little buzz. The crew loved keeping us separate, and everyone was like, ‘Jude’s going over here. Keep Nick [away!]’ It got me all jazzed up."Law also spoke about the film - which is set...

The stars of The Order are very aware that their forthcoming thriller film, although set in the 1980s, tackles themes that feel as relevant as ever.
Director Justin Kurzel’s fact-based crime movie is set to hit theaters Dec. 6 from Vertical after premiering over the summer at the Venice Film Festival. Starring Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, Jurnee Smollett and Tye Sheridan, the film follows an FBI agent (Law) investigating a white supremacist group called the Order and its possible connection to a string of robberies and other crimes in the Pacific Northwest.
Law, Hoult and Smollett took part in an onstage panel conversation about the project following a screening organized by SAG-AFTRA in Los Angeles on Tuesday. During the chat, Law, who is also a producer for The Order, discussed the contemporary resonance for the film that screenwriter Zach Baylin adapted from authors Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt’s 1989 nonfiction book The Silent Brotherhood.

There are so many Star Wars movies and TV shows, it’s hard to keep track. The film trilogies are easy enough to remember the order in which their respective plots take place, but then adding the live-action and animated series into the mix gets tricky. The universe stretched back farther in its past than ever before with the canceled-too-soon The Acolyte, and the reach of its cinematic galaxy is only expanding with the upcoming premiere of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew starring Jude Law later this year. That series is set to debut on December 3 on Disney+ and takes place in the same time period as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, aka after the events of Return of the Jedi. There’s also a Mandalorian movie in the pipeline which will take place around the same time. Here, find a full breakdown of the chronological order in...

Fans cannot seem to forgive People Magazine for never awarding the title of Sexiest Man Alive to Henry Cavill. Since its inception in the 1980s, the title has been held by several handsome men in Hollywood. Cavill impressed fans with his looks and physique, especially since his portrayal of Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel.

Cavill’s role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher also captured the stunning looks of the star. Despite being celebrated for his appearance, he still hasn’t claimed the coveted title. The recent recipients of the title include Patrick Dempsey, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, and Michael B. Jordan.

Heath Ledger’s turn as The Joker in 2008’s The Dark Knight remains one of the most chilling performances of this century, the actor eventually winning a posthumous Oscar for the defining portrayal of The Clown Prince of Crime. Based on peeks and teases, we knew we would be in for something special when the film came out. And so did Ledger himself, fully aware just how powerful the performance and The Dark Knight would be.
Recounting working with Heath Ledger on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Andrew Garfield (Anton) remembered the star telling him about his go as The Joker. “He had just done the Joker, he had just finished doing The Dark Knight, and he was so smug about it. I was like, ‘How did that go?’ and he was like, ‘Yeah, it’s really good.’”
However, Heath Ledger wouldn’t find everything to be funny surrounding the promotion of The Dark Knight,...

Justin Kurzel directs The Order, about an FBI agent trying to stop a US domestic terrorist group. Here’s the first trailer.
If we told you that Jude Law’s next film would see him play a ‘tenacious FBI agent hunting down a neo-Nazi terrorist group,’ your curiosity would want to know more, wouldn’t it? Crikey, hope so. We’ve done 300 words or so here, and we need the clicks.
And if we then told you that the film’s bad guys ‘had been behind a recent string of bank robberies and car heists in order to finance an armed uprising against the US government,’ (that’s according to The Hollywood Reporter’s synopsis) you’d probably think that sounded worth scrolling down a bit and clicking on an advert or something.

You’ve never seen Jude Law like this. The handsome British two-time Academy Award nominee puts on a dramatic hairline and a mustache to play a harried FBI agent investigating a neo-Nazi group in the ‘80s in the new historical crime thriller “The Order,” which got a new trailer on Thursday.
Here’s the official logline for the film, which comes out in theaters this winter from Vertical: “Based on a true story, an alarming surge in violent bombings and bank robberies in the Pacific Northwest leads a weathered FBI agent into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a charismatic domestic terrorist plotting to overthrow the US government.” Emmy nominee Nicholas Hoult stars as Bob Mathews (no relation), founder of the Order, the titular white supremacist group that was responsible for a harrowing crime spree between 1983 and 1984. The cast also includes Tye Sheridan, Jurnee Smollett, Odessa Young, Alison Oliver, and Marc Maron.

From Macbeth to True History Of The Kelly Gang to Nitram, across eras and genres Australian director Justin Kurzel has proven himself to be a firebrand filmmaker, capable of grabbing an audience by the throat and never letting them go through jaw-slackening imagery, tension-filled storytelling, and — to pinch a popular phrase — a seriously locked-in directorial sensibility. And his latest, true story inspired thriller The Order — in which Jude Law plays an FBI agent caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a Neo-Nazi (Nicholas Hoult) in 1980s Washington State — looks every bit as thrillingly tense as the Aussie helmsman's past works. Check out the official trailer below:
At a moment in time where the political temperature is rising once again across the pond, it looks like Kurzel's new movie — which begins with Nicholas Hoult's Aryan Nation leader Bob Mathews declaring that "in every revolution, someone has to fire the first...

"It's happening. The war has begun." Vertical has revealed an official trailer for The Order, the latest film from Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel, making his first film set in America this time around. The Order premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival recently, the same place his last film Nitram premiered. A series of bank robberies and car heists frightened communities in the Pacific Northwest.
