Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is being adapted into another feature film, this time as a continuation of the Prime Video series. Oh, and John Krasinski’s back as Jack.
Actor turned filmmaker John Krasinski is, according to a new report, set to reprise the role of Jack Ryan for a feature film at Prime Video. It’s a part he first began to play for the streaming platform in 2018, with the thriller series being one of the most successful attempts to adapt Tom Clancy’s novels.

John Krasinski’s range needs to be studied. The two most iconic characters that the actor is associated with are everyday salaryman Jim Halpert and the American Spy Jack Ryan. While there have been other depictions of the latter, Krasinski has managed to portray the character with a grit that suits him better.

On their podcast episode breaking down the series finale of “The Office,” the “Office Ladies” — Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey — performed their rewatch ritual for listeners one last time, going minute by minute to describe everything that brought the Emmy-winning NBC comedy to its conclusion after nine seasons on May 16, 2013. In the episode, posted on Oct. 30, titled “Finale, Part 2,” Kinsey and Fischer spilled a tonnage of behind the scenes details about how the finale came together, including how showrunner Greg Daniels had kept Steve Carell’s return as Michael Scott a secret from NBC executives until the day before the episode aired, so they couldn’t spoil the surprise by promoting his appearance.
In Carell’s farewell episode, “Goodbye, Michael,” which aired toward the end of Season 7, Michael moved to Colorado to begin a new life with Holly (Amy Ryan), the love of his life, and to start the family he’d always wanted.

Fans of the original series starring Steve Carell and John Krasinski were apprehensive about the launch of a remake. Simply put, The Office is a precious gem to many. Based on the British series of the same name (starring Ricky Gervais), The Office 2024 takes us to Australia, where audiences follow the employees of Finley Craddick, a packaging company. The concept of both the British series and the American version are the same, more or less. It is a workplace comedy/mockumentary. What brings it to life are the colorful characters, all led by a larger-than-life boss.

Production designer Jess Gonchor has worked on some of the most acclaimed and rewatchable movies over the last two decades, including every feature film directed by Bennett Miller, every Joel and Ethan Coen movie from “No Country for Old Men” through “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” and notable one-off titles such as “The Devil Wears Prada,” Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women,” Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise,” and John Krasinski’s recent hit “If.”

It will be filmed during his top-selling “It Ain’t Right” tour.
“How many times do you catch yourself thinking, ‘It Ain’t Right’?” he said in a statement Thursday. “This special is my way of uniting us to laugh at the ridiculousness of the world around us, and I’m thrilled to share it with my fans. So, get your sweats on, pop yourself some popcorn, and get ready to laugh.”

There is little doubt that Ryan Reynolds is one of the biggest stars that Hollywood has on offer. The Marvel’s Deadpool and Wrexham AFC owner has starred in a plethora of hit projects such as Free Guy and Detective Pikachu, but is currently facing a bit of a stutter, with the release of Paramount Pictures’ If, which has till date made just over $104 million, against a budget of $110 million.
The John Krasinski offering has thus far failed to make an impact and boasts of a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. While there may be plenty of reasons why the movie has failed to even break even thus far, one fan recently claimed on Twitter that it might have something to do with the ‘movie fatigue’ that is currently afflicting theatre audiences. The fan suggested that the performance of If at the box office might simply be down to the fact...

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is not the first horror game to feature blind enemies that are hypersensitive to the sounds you make. House of Ashes has its gnarly space-vampires that rely on echolocation to get around, The Last of Us has its iconic Clickers — caked in fungi that obscures all but their ears — and The Callisto Protocol has its (not at all iconic) Clicker knockoffs. Meanwhile, if we were to go back as far as Resident Evil 4, we’d find the hulking Garradors; feral gladiators whose eyes have been sewn shut and who will instinctively charge at the slightest of vibrations.
Anyway, the point is that it’s hardly a revolutionary concept. Should we expand the parameters a little to include creatures that enjoy perfect 20/20 vision — but still boast highly attuned hearing nonetheless — then we’d also have to account for the likes of Amnesia: The Bunker...

Throughout its nine-season run, the fan-favorite show, Steve Carell’s The Office, became known for its unique brand of humor. The sitcom often balanced awkwardness, a whole lot of cringe, and a few heartwarming moments to get the perfect show.
But there was one episode that even the cast found rather difficult to film due to its extreme level of cringe — the now-infamous Dinner Party episode from Season 4.

Although the episode had everyone in splits, it took the longest time for Carell and the rest of the actors to power through it. After all, the jokes had left even them laughing about how ridiculous it all seemed.

The first season of Lioness had serious star power but fizzled out quickly. While Zoe Saldaña commands the screen, big names like Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman are heavily touted. However, the two Academy Award-winning actors barely had enough screen time compared to an alum from the game show Wipeout.
That said, I love Jillian Wagner, who is utterly convincing as a kick-ass Black Ops soldier, so that’s not the issue. This season is different. Saldaña simply electrifies in her role as a CIA officer in charge. However, now she has a cast with enough screen time to match her intensity.
Sparks fly alongside Kidman, Freeman, and The Penguin’s Michael Kelly. Series creator Taylor Sheridan crafts dialogue that cuts like verbal daggers across an expensive government conference room table. The stakes are higher, the tension is palpable, and Lioness is even better the second time around.

Mark Duplass says that, back in the day, he was envious of fellow actors/writers/directors John Krasinski and Zach Braff. Duplass, who is a mega-producer in the indie world with his eponymous production company alongside brother Jay Duplass, said during NPR’s “Wild Card with Rachel Martin” that he used to get “mad” that Krasinski and Braff seemed to be filling his “spot” in the industry.
“I had a really hard time being able to enjoy John Krasinski and Zach Braff because I was like, ‘They’re taking up my spots!’ and it made me mad, you know?,” Duplass said. “This sounds maybe more reductive than it should, but the more successful I get, the less I have to face envy in my career. … It’s less about I’m feeling envious about this person because their independent film really knocked it out of the park and mine didn’t this year,...

The Office certainly has some of the most hilarious moments across its nine seasons. If one were to put all of its most iconic clips in an out-of-context setting, it would get the same reaction from a viewer. With this in mind, many cannot help but wonder what moment was even too much for the cast to keep their cool.

Idw is going dark. The indie publisher is teaming up with Paramount to bring some of the studio’s properties to comic books via a new imprint called Idw Dark.
These will be new stories set in the world of hit franchises such as A Quiet Place, Smile, The Twilight Zone, Sleepy Hollow and Event Horizon. The imprint will also include sequels to Idw titles such as 30 Days of Night and Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees.
Creative teams and other details will be announced at another date, but books are expected to start rolling out in 2025.
The move comes as Parker Finn’s Smile 2 arrives in theaters today as a followup to the $217.4 million hit. It follows A Quiet Place: Day One‘s bow earlier this year, which expanded on the franchise’s lore beyond the pair of John Krasinski films.

"Joker: Folie a Deux" may have just proven that even big-budget movies won't always top the box office when they have terrible reviews and little love from fans, but apparently the streaming world is still operating on a different level. For nearly three weeks now, the Shailene Woodley and Joseph Gordon-Levitt led film "Killer Heat" has been topping the Amazon Prime movies chart (per FlixPatrol), despite earning an abysmal 15% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.
It may just be a sparse season for new releases on Prime Video, but given that one of the year's best films, Luca Guadagnino's sexy tennis drama "Challengers," is currently at number six on the most-streamed Prime Video films list, something about "Killer Heat" is clearly appealing to subscribers. The movie, which bypassed theaters and was released directly to Prime, tops a list that as of publication time also includes several kids' films, including John Krasinski's 2024 release "If,...

After 3 decades in Hollywood, Steve Carell has tried his hand at every genre possible. However, the actor will always be best known for his portrayal of the bumbling yet lovable boss Michael Scott on The Office. Apart from showing fans everything a boss should not be, he has delivered countless memorable lines throughout the show’s nine-season run.

In fact, the character even had one catchphrase that ended up being repeated long after the show came to an end. However, Carell seems to think that the joke has since run its course. After all, he had never really liked it in the first place.

The Office might be a fan-favorite sitcom, but it looks like one of the show’s stars, Steve Carell, had a problem with the iconic “that’s what she said” jokes.

When one thinks of Bob Odenkirk, one of the first things that comes to mind is his performance as Saul Goodman in Better Caul Saul and Breaking Bad. However, many forget that, at his core, the actor built the foundations of his career on comedy. Being a well-known and excellent comedian and having several well-known achievements, including working on Saturday Night Live, it is not surprising that the actor was trying for several comedy roles before he settled on the lawyer.

There’s no denying that the US version of The Office has maintained its popularity, even after decades, since the show’s finale. So much so, that the series now sparks dubious talk of a reboot every other month. But while the majority of the show’s popularity was based on characters like Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, and John Krasinski’s Jim, a few have related to characters like Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard.

Introduced in the third season of The Office, Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard joined the Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company, and immediately came off as a doofus and a jerk, rubbing his Ivy League education in people’s faces. However, although Andy outraged a number of fans, the actor behind the character was deeply pleased by his role. So much so that Helms even admitted to relating with his character and aspired to be more like him.

He may not be the “world’s best boss,” but Steve Carell brought an undeniable quality to his The Office character Michael Scott.
While reminiscing about his first time directing the NBC mockumentary sitcom, Paul Feig credited Carell with making the show “the giant hit that it is” after the actor put his own touch on the role, a counterpart to Ricky Gervais‘ David Brent in the original UK series.
Although he recalled being offered to develop the US version after Freaks & Geeks ended, Feig turned down the opportunity, noting the original was “an iconic show.” Meanwhile, he said Carell’s performance in the debut season strayed too close to Gervais’ unlikable boss character.
“It’s British humor. British humor is very different. The Brits love tearing down a boor. So, they love when the lead character is an unlikable character because they love poking holes in those guys,...

The thing about Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki’s Supernatural is that once you fall in love with the Winchesters, it is practically impossible for you to get over them. The show has a total of fifteen seasons but we binge-watch them time and again as if it’s the first time. After all, it is our comfort show, alright. Yes, even with favorite characters dying and leaving us bawling in our pillows.

The unfortunate part about it all, though, is that while they tried their hardest to make spin-offs that would live up to Supernatural’s legacy, none of them could even come close. Whether it was The Winchesters or Wayward Sisters, they just didn’t have the spark the Og show does. In fact, Jensen Ackles himself tried to cook up a spin-off of sorts but things didn’t really work out.

Although The Office had plenty of turnover, some fans are still curious why Dwight Schrute never got the full managerial treatment.
On a recent episode of the Office Ladies rewatch podcast, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey explained why Rainn Wilson‘s character wasn’t featured at the end of the title sequence when he finally took over for Steve Carell‘s Michael Scott as manager of Dunder Mifflin.
After reaching out to David Rogers, who directed the ninth and final season’s penultimate episode ‘A.A.R.M.’, Fischer explained “that there was discussion about adding a Dwight-as-manager shot at the end of this title sequence.”
She added, “But, ultimately, they never filmed anything new for it, and here is why: The main reason was they wanted to use Pam and Jim kissing as the final image in the main title for several episodes because they felt that, at this point,...
