Over the course of her career, Collie worked with talent including Michael Caine, Henry Cavill, Jessica Chastain, Daniel Craig, Penélope Cruz, Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds and Michelle Williams.
Collie began her career in the sewing room of the BBC alongside costume designer Susan Coates. Following an introduction from Coates to David Parfitt, she worked as a wardrobe assistant to Branagh on “Much Ado About Nothing.” From there, Collie worked as a costume designer on “Peter’s Friends,” which was directed by Branagh.

On social media, some people were puzzled about why the Hollywood actress was there, but what really caught everyone off guard was a moment captured by photographers that quickly went viral among sports fans.

Lauded journalist, host, and moderator Josh Horowitz is a staple among the Hollywood circuit in part thanks to his popular podcast “Happy Sad Confused.” Horowitz, who began his career as a producer and talent booker, parlayed his expertise and ease with filmmakers into his own standalone podcast back in 2014. Its format pivoted during the pandemic to include a video component on YouTube (where he has amassed more than 111K subscribers), and once again took another shape as Horowitz began hosting live podcast recordings with a partnership at the 92nd St Y in New York City.
Horowitz has interviewed notoriously private, or rather, anti-podcast stars such as Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, and Vin Diesel, with Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, and Henry Cavill appearing on multiple episodes. Some of Horowitz’s personal heroes like George Miller, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, Steven Soderbergh, Denis Villeneuve, and...

Spooky season is here, which means it’s time for movies featuring all manner of ghouls, creeps, and monsters. And there may be no monster more famous than Count Dracula, the blood-sucking vampire introduced in Bram Stoker’s gothic horror novel Dracula. He’s appeared onscreen countless times in various iterations – far too many to list here. But here are a few notable Dracula adaptations to sink your teeth into this Halloween.

Vampires have fascinated filmmakers since the early days of cinema. Director F.W. Murnau’s 1922 Nosferatu is an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula. The movie was nearly lost to history when all copies were ordered destroyed after Stoker’s widow sued for copyright infringement. But a print survived, and the movie has gone on to become an influential classic. (The Witch director Robert Eggers’ remake is due out later this year.

Your honor, I must confess — I have a mighty big soft spot for "The Devil's Advocate." The 1997 supernatural courtroom thriller stars Keanu Reeves as Kevin Lomax, a hotshot Florida lawyer (with the world's sketchiest Southern accent) who is recruited by a fiendish defense attorneys office in New York, run by the charismatic and slightly terrifying John Milton (Al Pacino). As he abandons his morals in order to win cases, Kevin's wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron) starts having horrific visions with demonic influences. You see, Milton isn't just devilishly handsome and talented, he's also actually the devil himself.
"The Devil's Advocate" completely hinges on Pacino's performance, as he plays Milton with a kind of outlandish delight that only a rare few of our greatest actors could ever attempt. It's a little bit Tony Montana from "Scarface" when he's on copious amounts of coke and a little bit Lieutenant Hanna from "Heat,...

Is “Shōgun” about to pull a “Succession” at the 2025 Golden Globes?
Currently at Gold Derby, the FX historical epic leads three top categories in our Golden Globe predictions: Best Drama Series, Best Drama Actor for Hiroyuki Sanada, and Best Drama Actress for Anna Sawai. If it also manages to pull off a fourth victory in a supporting race, it would match “Succession’s” total of four from last year.
For its final season, HBO’s family drama won the series prize at the Golden Globes and it also took home trophies for lead actors Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook, plus supporting player Matthew Macfadyen.
If “Shōgun” rides off with only the three top categories for series, lead actor, and lead actress, it would still be in good company indeed, as only a handful of dramas have done so. Besides “Succession” in 2023, “The Crown” most recently accomplished this feat in 2020. Before that,...

Apparate! A return to the Wizarding World (and to our childhood) is set for 2026. Warner Bros. Discovery and HBO are currently putting their wits behind bringing Harry Potter to television—and they strongly iterate the fact that it will explore J.K Rowling’s seven-book saga in way more detail. Well, it’s about time something happened with this IP.
A significant name in the cultural zeitgeist, Francesca Gardiner of Succession fame will run the series and will take the role of lead writer. Seems like responsible enough hands. She will find familiar company in Mark Mylod, who is set to direct multiple episodes and also serve as executive producer.

Ridley Scott's 2001 horror thriller "Hannibal" was a long-in-the-tooth sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs," both of them based on the works of author Thomas Harris. "Silence of the Lambs" was a boffo blockbuster when it came out in 1991, winning many Oscars and making millions. Anthony Hopkins took the world by storm with his lip-smacking performance as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist with a penchant for mutilating, killing, and often eating his victims. At the end of "Lambs," Hannibal escapes his high-security prison and proceeds to wreak havoc in the world.
In "Hannibal," however, we learn that Dr. Lecter left one of his victims alive. Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) was a child stalker who, years ago, fell into Lecter's psychiatric care. Lecter, being a brilliant manipulator of minds, convinced Mason to use his autoerotic asphyxiation noose while slicing off his own face and feeding it to nearby dogs.

Keanu Reeves has been an absolute favorite of many film critics and audiences. His career has been very interesting since this actor has been open to starring in almost any genre. However, he has been mostly known for his action-driven films. For example, a lot of action movie lovers recognize him for the Matrix films and John Wick series. What they don’t know is how he has struggled in his personal life as well as experimented with other genres.
Reeves was born on September 2nd, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon. He was raised in Toronto, Canada. He is of Chinese-Hawaiian descent from his father’s side. His father was a geologist. Reeves had a mother that worked in the industry as a performer and later designed costumes. His parents divorced nonetheless. He ended up residing with his mother and sister. As he got older, he developed a keen interest in acting.

The Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling is particularly tough to predict early on because of the complicated system by which the nominees are determined in two stages. First, upwards of 15 members of the branch who attend special screenings cast preferential ballots with the top 10 vote-getters moving on to the second stage (it was a lucky seven till 2021). Those members from the first stage and any other members who either attend screenings of excerpts from these semi-finalists or attest that they have seen them cast preferential ballots and the top five films are nominated; that is up from three in years past. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.)
The award for Best Makeup was introduced in 1981, following an outcry over the lack of recognition for Christopher Tucker‘s groundbreaking work on “The Elephant Man” (1980). Hairstylists began sharing the award with makeup artists in 1993 when “Mrs. Doubtfire” won.

Gary Oldman, an Oscar-winning British actor, will perform in a production of Samuel Beckett’s play “Krapp’s Last Tape” at York Theatre Royal in Yorkshire, England, from April to May 2025. This marks Oldman’s return to the stage for the first time in almost 40 years. His last stage appearance was in 1987.
The production will take place at York Theatre Royal, where Oldman began his career after graduating college in 1979. For several years, he acted in various roles at the small theater. Oldman visited York Theatre Royal earlier this year, sparking discussions about performing there again.
Now 66 years old, Oldman is best known for roles in films like “Darkest Hour,” for which he won an Academy Award. However, he started as a theater actor, a career path his longtime manager Douglas Urbanski says they have frequently discussed bringing Oldman back to.

Exclusive: Slow Horses star Gary Oldman is stepping back on stage in April 2025 for the first time after an absence of nearly four decades to star in Samuel Beckett’s celebrated one-man play Krapp’s Last Tape for a limited season at the British theatre where the actor began his professional career in 1979.
Oldman, who won an Oscar for Darkest Hour, is in London shooting season 6 of the acclaimed Apple TV+ spy drama Slow Horses. He will play Beckett’s famous old-timer, struggling to listen to a tape he recorded 39 years ago, at York Theatre Royal in North Yorkshire from April 14 through May 17.
There are no plans to transfer the production to London’s West End or Broadway, Douglas Urbanski, the actor’s longtime business partner and manager, told me when I tracked him down in the early hours of Wednesday in London.

“Slow Horses” is Apple TV+’s Clydesdale. The streaming service has given the Gary Oldman-led spy drama an early Season 6 renewal, which means the reliable workhorse of a show is likely to become Apple TV+’s first series to run for more than five seasons. The announcement comes just after the conclusion of Season 4 on October 9. Apple announced the Season 5 pickup back in January.
Technically, “For All Mankind,” one of Apple TV+’s launch titles in 2019, has been running for longer than “Slow Horses,” which premiered in 2022. Both shows have released four seasons, and “For All Mankind’s” fifth (and a spinoff) is in the works. But “Slow Horses” is an anomaly in the streaming industry because it moves really fast. Previous seasons of “Slow Horses” have shot back-to-back, which reduces the amount of time the show takes between seasons. Two six-episode seasons were released in 2022, and the show...

Apple TV+ recently debuted a sneak peak of their upcoming programming which includes Slow Horses. Starring Gary Oldman, Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House.

Fans of the hit TV show “Slow Horses” have long wondered about the mysterious past of Jackson Lamb, the brilliant yet gruff leader portrayed by Gary Oldman. Now, showrunner Will Smith has discussed the possibility of a prequel series that dives deeper into Lamb’s history. However, such a project would face significant creative challenges to capture the essence of the beloved character.
In a recent interview, Smith talked about both the opportunities and risks of exploring Lamb’s backstory through a potential prequel. While some audience curiosity exists, Smith originally thought delving too far into the mysteries surrounding Lamb could diminish their appeal. He pointed to other fictional characters whose revealed pasts sometimes lost some of their magic.
However, Mick Herron’s novel “The Secret Hours” provides potential source material for a prequel. The book offers a glimpse of Lamb in postwar Berlin in a way that maintains his character.

Cameos and "Star Trek" go together like cake and ice cream, in large part because celebrities are big fans of the franchise themselves and want a chance to be a part of it. Whether it's superfan Seth MacFarlane, who created the "Star Trek"-inspired series "The Orville" starring in two episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" as a Starfleet officer, or classic Dracula actor Frank Langella playing a Bajoran politician on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" because his kids were such fans, it's always great when people just want to be a part of the massive sci-fi franchise.
For one seriously intense "Star Trek" fan, getting the chance to play a tiny role in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" was more than just a dream come true, it was also a really lucky break courtesy of some good old nepotism. Actor Christian Slater could probably talk his way into a...

“I can’t imagine Slough House without Lamb,” Slow Horses executive producer Will Smith says. Well, the good news is not only has the Apple TV+ spy thriller been renewed for Season 5 already, but it also doesn’t seem like Gary Oldman‘s ready to say goodbye anytime soon. Each season of Slow Horses thus far has covered a book of Mick Herron’s series: Slow Horses, Dead Lions, Real Tigers, and Spook Street. Season 5 will be adapted from London Rules. The season synopsis reads as follows: “Everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, ‘London Rules’ should always apply.” There are eight books (and five novellas) in the series thus far,...

Heath Ledger died months before The Dark Knight arrived in theaters. As a result, the actor never got to see the response to his performance as The Joker or receive the "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar, which he was posthumously awarded the following year.
According to The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield, Ledger was understandably confident about The Dark Knight being a hit after teaming with Christopher Nolan on the Batman Begins sequel.
Garfield, who shared the screen with Ledger in 2009's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, remembers the actor as a "very generous, beautiful, creative spirit." He'd call him "a kind of beacon, it was like a wild animal" on set, adding, "He was so free and so wild and so, kind of dangerous on set in a way that was the kind of thing that is inspiring and spontaneous."
"He would say before every take, or one take every scene,...

“Slow Horses” showrunner and writer Will Smith told TheWrap that one of the things he loves about the show’s lead, the gruff, unkempt Jackson Lamb, is that the spy series leaves much of the character’s backstory untold.
“Lamb has seen a lot of loss and he’s slightly burnt out from it all,” Smith told TheWrap following the Season 4 finale, in which Slough House loses yet another agent.
“He hasn’t got the emotional bandwidth to deal with that anymore,” Smith continued. “He talks about that in Series 1. He says to River, “It’s a tough life. And when I was your age, I lost the baker’s dozen.'”
Even if someone where to mount an adaptation of Mick Herron’s 2023 novel “The Secret Hours,” which spends half of the book with Lamb and MI5 archivist Molly Doran (Naomi Wirthner) in Berlin during the Cold War, Smith...

Apple’s first-look trailer for Season 5 of spy hit “Slow Horses,” which dropped on the streamer following Wednesday’s Season 4 finale, features a few eyebrow-raising developments, including River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) kissing a surprised Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar).

In the 47-second clip, Taverner tells Claude Whelan (James Callis), the man who is technically First Desk at MI5, “Lamb’s here. He says he knows what’s coming next,” after an unspecified crisis.

Tuner tells the story of a talented piano tuner (Woodall), whose life is turned upside down when he discovers that his meticulous skills for tuning pianos can equally be applied to cracking safes in this jazz-infused crime drama about love, loss and the lengths we’ll go to for the people who matter most. The film is being produced by JoAnne Sellar and Lila Yacoub, with Black Bear representing international rights. Elevation Pictures is co-producing and will also release the film in Canada. Debra Zane is casting the picture.

This post contains spoilers for "Slow Horses" season 4.
The recently concluded fourth season of the spectacular Apple TV+ spy series "Slow Horses" continued to prove that it's one of the best shows on television, with the season culminating in a big revelation about River's parentage, a literally explosive climax, and a fatal shootout at Slough House. But one of the saddest scenes of the season comes just moments before the finale's end credits, when MI5 agent River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) moves his confused grandfather, former agent David Cartwright (Jonathan Pryce), into an assisted living facility because the man has been increasingly suffering so acutely from dementia. It turns out, the only reason it played out in that fashion was because of a different moment that happened in the previous season.

Spoiler Alert: The following story contains plot details from “Hello Goodbye,” the Season 4 finale of “Slow Horses.”
“Slow Horses” is not, as a rule, a sentimental show. Deceptively disheveled spymaster Jackson Lamb’s (Gary Oldman) idea of caring for his “joes” is to negotiate up their active-duty death settlement on a bureaucratic technicality. Yet the Emmy-winning Apple show’s fourth season, which concluded on Wednesday, was its most personal yet. River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) — a former MI5 golden boy whose exile to the series’ namesake box of broken toys established the show’s premise in Season 1 — began his latest misadventure by trying to save his dementia-afflicted grandfather David (Jonathan Pryce) — and ended it by coming face-to-face with his father, a sociopathic American mercenary named Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving).
“What I love about Series 4 is that personal story,” says creator and showrunner Will Smith (not that one!), a comedian and frequent collaborator of Armando Iannucci.

Steve McQueen has long been upfront about his desire to make a musical; before Widows underwhelmed at the box office, it appeared likely that a passion project within that genre would be his next film. With each subsequent effort, it seems McQueen is slowly pushing himself into that wheelhouse, getting audiences to imagine what such a film in his distinctive style would look like––it’s similarly become apparent that it would be less reminiscent of the downbeat New York, New York sequence in Shame, more like the jukebox joys of his Small Axe entry Lovers Rock. For a filmmaker who was initially characterized as one obsessed with bleak character studies, he is increasingly finding an inner warmth through music, and in his large-scale WWII drama Blitz he utilizes the power of a communal sing-along in ways reminiscent of Terence Davies, cutting through the darkness with tunes wherever possible.

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the Season 4 finale of “Slow Horses”
The actor whose character dies in the Season 4 finale of “Slow Horses” had to keep the secret for more than a year, even from his own family. “You’re the first person I’ve told,” he said in an emotional Zoom interview.
If you’ve already watched the finale, which is now streaming on Apple TV+, you know that it’s Marcus Longridge (Kadiff Kirwan) who dies in a shootout with an assassin in Slough House.
TheWrap spoke with Kirwan about having to lie to his family, friends, co-stars in the London stage production of “The Hot Wing King” and the media for so long. During the interview, he praised series lead Gary Oldman as “the kindest, most generous, funny, geezer” and Oldman’s gruff character Jackson Lamb as “the ultimate papa bear.”
