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...

Presumed Innocent Season 2 to Ditch Scott Turow Source Material, Adapt Unreleased Novel In Its Place
Presumed Innocent became an instant smash when it debuted on Apple TV+ over the summer.
So it comes as no surprise that what was once a limited series has now been renewed for a second season.
Of course, situations like this usually mean that the showrunners didn’t have a roadmap for future episodes. And in this case, they’ve decided to take a hard left turn into parts unknown.

According to a new report from Deadline, Presumed Innocent Season 2 will ditch the source material that helped to make the first version such a success.
Those episodes were based on the novel of the same name by Scott Turow.
Season 2, however, will adapt a different legal thriller, Dissection of a Murder by Jo Murray.
Unfortunately, this one doesn’t come with a built-in audience, like Turow’s wildly popular 1987 book.

The case isn’t closed yet. Another season of Presumed Innocent is on the way at Apple TV+, and details about the second round of the legal drama are starting to come through. Here’s what we know so far about Presumed Innocent Season 2. Who will star in Presumed Innocent Season 2? While a full cast list has not yet been announced for Presumed Innocent‘s second season, at least one star from Season 1 has declared he won’t be back: Peter Sarsgaard told IndieWire, “I’m not really that interested in sequels. I think I’ve only ever done one season of anything… I think I’m a one-season person.” Sarsgaard portrayed Tommy Molto, the prosecutor who went after Rusty Sabich in the murder trial at the center of Season 1. Meanwhile, Jake Gyllenhaal, who portrayed Rusty Sabich in Season 1, will return as executive producer alongside the show’s creator David E. Kelley,...

Exclusive: Like other successful limited series that have became ongoing ones following their breakout success, Apple TV+‘s legal thriller Presumed Innocent did not have a blueprint for a second season.
Season 1 was based on Scott Turow’s bestselling novel of the same name but, as Deadline pointed out at the time of the renewal, there was no obvious path to continue the series from Turow’s body of work. Season 2 of the show, executive produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams and Season 1 star Jake Gyllenhaal and co-exec produced by Turow, is taking a completely different path with a female lead, Leila Reynolds, succeeding Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabich.

Few have managed to achieve the kind of success that Heath Ledger did. Even in his absence, all of his iconic works continue to live on in his name. Be it 10 Things I Hate About You, Brokeback Mountain, or The Dark Knight, his impact on the film industry is revisited to this day. Considering how successful the actor was at 28 years old, his untimely passing was nothing short of tragic.

Peter Sarsgaard, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast — which was recorded in front of an audience at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where Sarsgaard was honored with the Film Performance of the Year Award — is a remarkable character actor who is enjoying the biggest year of his career. He shines in both the new Paramount film September 5, playing Roone Arledge as ABC Sports covers 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack, and on the new Apple TV+ drama series Presumed Innocent, as a prosecutor tasked with convicting a former colleague of a murder.

There is nothing quite like the exciting expectation of a well-made thriller, whether we’re in a dark theater or the comfort of our own homes. This type of fiction is great at keeping people on the edge of their seats, with their hearts racing and minds desperately trying to figure out what’s going on. These must-see thrillers aren’t just chase scenes and shadowy figures; they’ve grown into complex psychological puzzles that play with our darkest fears and make us think about what we think we know.
The best thriller movies have always pushed the limits of storytelling, from Hitchcock’s superb use of anxiety to current psychological warfare on screen. I don’t know how much movies should entertain, said David Fincher, a director. It always interests me when movies make you feel bad.

Like any streaming service, particularly of the ad-supported variety, there’s a lot of filler on Tubi, the subscription-free platform which recently made its debut in the UK.
On there you’ll find an array of low-budget documentaries of spurious quality, landfill reality TV and how-did-this-get-made TV movies (Amish Abduction).
Do a bit of digging, though, and you’ll find plenty of movies that are genuinely worth watching, including the work of such respected directors as Michael Mann (Ali), Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), David Fincher (Gone Girl) and Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel).
Look beyond even those worthy films, and Tubi is positively stuffed with genre and cult offerings – sci-fi, horror, comedy, martial arts, thrillers and more besides. Finding these can take a bit of hunting around, however, so...

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,...

Dan Gilroy's "Nightcrawler" is designed to make you feel ill at ease. When small-time thief Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is first introduced, the discomfort evoked stems from the desperation late-stage capitalism embeds into our souls and how it pushes us towards unsavory avenues. However, once Bloom pawns a stolen bicycle for a camcorder, and we are forced to dissect violent, extreme crime scenes with him, the true, eerie heart of "Nightcrawler" is revealed. Bloom isn't just pushed into taking such ethically void measures to ensure his survival: he actively hungers for these excesses, as seen in his wide-eyed, unblinking gaze, which Gyllenhaal invests with an unsettling intensity that grants "Nightcrawler" its discomfiting tint. It is an experience that comes alive solely because of him, and Gyllenhaal carries this burden by channeling a haunting, career-defining performance that is both subtle and felt deeply in our bones.
Gyllenhaal is no one-hit...

Pop sensation and actor Lady Gaga is no stranger to the macabre. With her fierce love for all things gothic and horror-inspired, she’s brought dark and edgy elements to both her music and on-screen performances, like Lady Gaga’s unforgettable role in American Horror Story. Whether it’s her iconic meat dress or a performance with fake blood at the 2009 VMAs, Gaga has always embraced her love for the eerie. But which horror and thriller films rank as her personal favorites?
Gaga’s admiration for legendary director Alfred Hitchcock is no secret. In her hit song Bad Romance, she famously references three Hitchcock masterpieces: Psycho, Vertigo, and Rear Window. Her love for these films is deeply ingrained in her artistic identity.
In a 2015 interview on The Tonight Show, she even described thrillers and horror as calming for her, elaborating on her affection for the genre. This appreciation for Hitchcock extends to her music,...

Out of all the big-budget blockbusters Jake Gyllenhaal has landed in his career, the 2004 sci-fi-action piece The Day After Tomorrow most certainly wasn’t one. Although it more or less received some fans’ appreciation, a majority of the critics were still as displeased by it as ever, even though it managed to become a considerable commercial success.

Gyllenhaal, on the other hand, was rather disgruntled with the piece himself. While it was one of his initial experiences working on a big-budget project, the actor had quite a few issues with it. As he didn’t hesitate to let known to everyone, one of his biggest problems was his dialogue for the film, which he had a hard time translating to the screens.

Ang Lee is an Oscar-winning filmmaker who has worked in a variety of genres and styles to explore the lives of people around the globe. Let’s take a look back at 12 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Born in Taiwan in 1954, Lee’s interest in film brought him to NYU’s graduate program, where he worked as a crew member on classmate Spike Lee‘s thesis project, “Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads.” He directed his first feature, “Pushing Hands” (1991) at the age of 37.
Lee followed up his debut with back-to-back international successes, each one scoring Oscar nominations as Best Foreign Language Film: “The Wedding Banquet” (1993) and “Eat Drink Man Woman” (1994). In both films, the director explored the kinds of complex familial relationships that would animate many of his stories.

Kandi Burruss is in the midst of another career renaissance. After rising to fame as one-fourth of the ‘90s R&b girl group Xscape, Burruss’ next turn in the spotlight came as a cast member of the longstanding Real Housewives of Atlanta reality series, on which she starred from 2009-2023.
In March, Burruss announced she was departing the Bravo franchise after a whopping 14 seasons, a decision she says was borne out of her desire to seriously pursue an acting career.
“I no longer wanted to just be able to be a guest star,” Burruss tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I wanted to be able to audition for a role that’s more substantial on whatever project it may be. So I decided that I was going to go ahead and step out on faith, because this was my contract year. It was my year that I could actually make the decision for myself.

There’s a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell, aiming for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release – and this week, the folks at the Motion Picture Association ratings board have revealed that they’ve given the film an R rating for bloody violent content, grisly images and some language. This isn’t the first time a reboot of The Wolf Man has been given an R rating, as the 2010 reboot that was directed by Joe Johnston and starred Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Emily Blunt was also rated R, for bloody horror violence and gore.
The leads of this version of Wolf Man are Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, both of whom were in the 2011 film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Abbott is taking on the role of a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Matt Damon famously lost out on a lot of money after turning down James Cameron’s Avatar. But Cameron noted that there were plenty of other Avatar movies for the Bourne Identity star to do. However, it wouldn’t be for the same lucrative deal that Damon would’ve had for the first film.

Although Damon currently has a net worth of $170 million, it could’ve been a bit higher if he starred in Cameron’s Avatar. The actor was Cameron’s first choice to play disabled soldier Jake Sully in the blockbuster sci-fi film. According to Damon, The Terminator director even called him up personally to offer him the role.

If you're DC Studios, the film, television, and video game company tasked with exploiting the massive roster of DC Comics characters for our entertainment and their financial gain, you obviously want your excitable fanbase focused right now on what's to come rather than what's been -- because outside of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and Patty Jenkins' "Wonder Woman", Todd Phillips' "Joker" (we'll get to its sequel in a moment), and Matt Reeves' "The Batman," what DC Studios (former DC Films) has been is a complete and totally aimless disaster. When it handed the creative reins over to Zack Snyder after the somewhat underwhelming blockbuster success of "Man of Steel", it committed to a dreary run toward a "Justice League" that, even in its director's cut, was strangely joyless.
Snyder's run had its supporters (ahem), but the box office reflects an overall enthusiasm deficit compared to the miraculous, masterfully...

Denis Villeneuve charmed his 2000-strong audience at the London Film Festival with a personal review of his long career, including his number one rule for creating a happy film set.
The Dune director was asked how he deals with A-list egoes on his huge film sets, and replied directly: “First rule: you avoid the assholes.”
Asked if he would name anyone in particular, he tactfully demurred, saying instead he considered it “a game” to get the best out of any actor he recruited to appear in a film.
Villeneuve also intimated his desire to make a dialogue-free film at some point. He said:
“I love dialogue, but not [always] in cinema,” explaining that it was sometimes better suited to theatre or television. “I hope one day I will be able to make a film that will not use spoken language. I try as much as possible to use the power of images.

Dune director Denis Villeneuve got candid about his filmography with Brett Goldstein at a BFI London Film Festival event on Saturday.
The Canadian filmmaker was speaking at a Screen Talks event with the Ted Lasso star at the city’s Royal Festival Hall, where he dove deeper into his early career, making it to Hollywood and adapting Frank Herbert’s Dune.
Villeneuve also explained why he considers Blade Runner 2049 (2017), starring Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling, one of the “most risky” films of his career, alongside Polytechnique (2009). “In the past,” he began, “I refused a few sci-fi films, big films, because I was not greedy… But after Sicario I felt that I had the muscles to be able to carry a project like [Blade Runner 2049].”
“I said, ‘Ok, if I do one big sci-fi movie, and I risk everything, that’s beautiful. To make a sequel to my favorite film...

Henry Cavill, who played Superman in The Dceu, aka the "SnyderVerse," is set to take to the skies again... in a giant Robot Lion.
THR reports that the Man of Steel and The Witcher star has signed on to play a lead role in Amazon MGM Studios’ live-action Voltron movie.
Cavill joins previously-cast newcomer Daniel Quinn-Toye, who previously appeared in Badults and served as Tom Holland’s understudy in Romeo & Juliet on the West End this spring. No details on either of their characters have been disclosed, but we assume they will play two of the five Voltron pilots.
The project is being helmed by Red Notice director Rawson Marshall Thurber, and is based on the Japanese sci-fi show Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger Xv. World Events would later edit and dub the series as a syndicated show, naming it Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which ran in the mid '80s.

“More effort than it’s worth” possibly represents the harshest 5 words that can be strung together in the English language. For a film, that statement guarantees an immediate death sentence. In the case of Antonio Banderas’ The 13th Warrior, it spelled the extinction of an entire genre: the Muslim hero archetype.

In the film’s critical and commercial failure, Antonia Banderas finds a sense of comfort and familiarity with his daughter Dakota Johnson whose 2024 film, Madame Web went through somewhat of a similar treatment. Both films represent a central character destined for a greater purpose who is uprooted from their established life and thrown into a mission against a foreign enemy.
The similarity between the two films is more than skin-deep. Both films also burned millions of dollars...

John Mulaney may have packed up “The Sack Lunch Bunch,” but he’ll be back on Netflix next year in a big way.

The rest of the details remain under wraps, though here at IndieWire we do have one strong suggestion: Mr. Music (Jake Gyllenhaal) as bandleader.
Mulaney and Netflix tested this whole thing out earlier this year with six episodes of “John Mulaney’s Everybody’s in L.A.,” a live show that was part of the 2024 Netflix Is a Joke Fest.

It’s widely acknowledged that Matt Reeves’ The Batman was a major success. Since it introduced a second Batman and exists in a separate universe from the Dceu, many fans speculated that this series wouldn’t connect to James Gunn’s upcoming Dcu.
While Matt Reeves continues to develop his own narrative, the recent DC revamp has brought some changes that have shaped the new Dcu.
Despite concerns among fans about potential challenges for Reeves’ universe due to the Dcu alterations, it seems Reeves will have the chance to craft his own trilogy. As it stands, he will continue with Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Batman, while Gunn focuses on his own vision.
This setup means we’ll see two versions of Batman on screen simultaneously. While this isn’t a new concept—something we’ve reported on multiple occasions—recent rumors suggest that James Gunn has a specific type...

It’s well-known that Matt Reeves’ The Batman was a huge hit. Given that it featured a second Batman and was set in a different universe from the then-existing Dceu. Due to that many fans speculated that this series would not be connected to James Gunn’s new Dcu either.
While Matt Reeves’ solo series continues down its own path, there have been a few changes brought about by the DC revamp that led to the birth of the Dcu.
Though there were fans who worried that Reeves’ universe would have difficulties as a result of the Dcu’s alterations, it appears that Reeves will not be denied the opportunity to create his own trilogy. As things stand, Reeves will remain with Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of the character, while Gunn will keep working on his own.
And this means that we are going to have two Batmen on the screen at one point.

By now, everyone knows that Matt Reeves’ The Batman was a great success. Given that it featured a second Batman and was set in a different universe from the then-existing Dceu, many fans speculated that this series would not be connected to James Gunn’s new Dcu either.
While Matt Reeves’ solo series continues down its own path, there have been a few changes brought about by the DC revamp that led to the birth of the Dcu.
Despite some fans’ fear that the changes in the Dcu would also result in problems for Reeves’ universe, it seems like Reeves won’t lose out on the chance to construct his world. As things stand, Gunn will continue to work on his interpretation of the character, while Reeves will stick with Robert Pattinson’s.

Mindy Kaling’s Velma has reportedly come to an end, though Max has yet to make an official announcement. The show’s second season was a critical failure, which was enough for Max to kick it off their platform. Kaling’s show frustrated some fans right from the beginning with its diverse Velma Dinkley character and an alternate universe Mystery Inc.

Michael Bay is in talks to direct Will Smith in the Netflix action film Fast and Loose, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Fast and Loose focuses on a crime boss who loses his memory after an attack and gradually learns that he was leading a double life as a CIA agent. Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner and Eric Pearson worked on the screenplay. Jon and Erich Hoeber wrote the original script after selling their pitch to Netflix.
The movie has been in the works since before Smith’s infamous slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars ceremony. THR previously reported that David Leitch had exited the project the week before the fated Academy Awards telecast to start work on The Fall Guy, the Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt action-comedy feature that Universal released in May.
Producers for Fast and Loose include Leitch and Kelly McCormick for 87North, along with Smith.

"Bones" — the procedural drama centered around forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her FBI counterpart Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) ran from 2005 to 2017, spanning nearly 250 episodes and 12 full seasons. But will it ever come back for a revival?
It seems like everything is getting a reboot or revival now. Earlier this year, they reinvented "Mean Girls" as a musical starring Reneé Rapp, and shortly after that came out, Jake Gyllenhaal headlined a remake movie of the '80s classic "Road House" for a new generation. In Ryan Gosling's (delightful) action comedy "The Fall Guy," Lee Majors and Heather Thomas, who played the lead roles in the original series, show up in cameo appearances at the very end of the film. Throughout the past few years, everything from "Cobra Kai" to "Fuller House" to the long-awaited fourth season of "Veronica Mars" has reunited original cast members for another go-around. So why not "Bones?...
