Sullivan’s Crossing is a fan-favorite TV show on The CW!

Created by showrunner Roma Roth from author Robyn Carr’s bestselling book series of the same name, the Canadian series follows neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan, who reconnects with her small-town past after a scandal causes her to leave her professional and personal life behind in the city.

Following the gripping conclusion of the first season, the second season opens just hours after Dr. Sullivan has learned about her father’s stroke, and her life is once again thrown into turmoil. Choosing to delay her return to Boston to care for Sully, Maggie finds herself back in Sullivan’s Crossing, where she must once again face her conflicted feelings about her father and address her growing attraction to Cal, as she struggles to come to terms with the realities of her pregnancy and the impact it may have on her career.

Directed by Peter Klein, the 12th documentary in Stan's Revealed slate, 'Bribe, Inc.', chronicles journalist Nick McKenzie’s worldwide investigation into the bribes, crimes, and corruption rife in the oil industry, and the Monaco-based Ahsani family at the centre of one of the biggest bribery schemes in modern history.

Sebastian Stan is about to have a very busy awards season. The man best known to devotees of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Bucky Barnes (a.k.a. the Winter Soldier) is earning raves for his portrayal of a young Donald J. Trump in Ali Abbasi's biographical drama "The Apprentice." Stan could very well earn further plaudits for his performance in "A Different Man," which already won him a Silver Bear for Best Performance at last February's Berlin International Film Festival. Here's hoping he doesn't overdo it, because after the Oscars are handed out next March, it'll be time to start promoting his role in the MCU extravaganza "Thunderbolts*".

Stan has had a fairly blessed career to this point. He's worked with some of the best directors to ever do it, and has that steady MCU franchise gig to keep him busy should the roles ever inexplicably dry up.

The long-gestating Nautilus live action series has unveiled first trailer. Check it out above.

Based on Jules Verne’s beloved Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Nautilus tells the origin story of Captain Nemo: an Indian Prince robbed of his birthright and family, joining him as he steals a formidable prototype submarine and escapes into the Indian Ocean with a crew, determined to enact revenge against the ruthless East India Mercantile Company.

The series has been on an interesting journey, having initially been with Disney+ before switching to AMC, Prime Video in the UK and Ireland and Stan in Australia. Deadline revealed Disney was ditching Nautilus around a year ago and soon after AMC announced it was picking it up. Around the same time, Disney also didn’t go forward with The Spiderwick Chronicles, which ended up with Roku.

Nautilus stars Shazad Latif, Georgia Flood, Thierry Fremont and Céline Menville,...

This article contains spoilers for "Joker: Folie à Deux."

Sometime during the 1950s, Groucho Marx made the now famous joke when declining membership to the Friar's Club: "I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member." Not only is the joke a very clever, multi-layered comment that is both self-depreciating and a jab at the institution it's directed at, it's also a quote that everyone would do well to remember in this day and age of what we're calling "stan culture." The term derives from Eminem's 2000 single called "Stan," about a fictional fan of the rapper whose devotion turns from obsessive adoration to threatening violence. The fact that the term has been recently widely accepted as slang for "fan" should tell you all you need to know about the state of fandoms these days; these folks aren't all alright.

That's something director/co-writer...

With all the reboots, remakes, adaptations, and resurrections out there, it was just a matter of time before Lord of the Flies made its way to the forefront. William Golding’s 1954 classic is no stranger to film adaptations, with versions in 1963 and 1990 that remained more or less faithful to the source material.

However, Lord of the Flies is both simple in its thematic depictions and complicated, especially at a time of bloated budgets, intense fan scrutiny, and political messaging.

For every movie or TV show that honors the source material, often resulting in fan and critical praise, there are ten that take a chainsaw to the original classics before curb-stomping them for good measure.

On the bright side, Lord of the Flies is staying home. BBC commissioned it with Sony’s backing, and it will release on BBC iPlayer, BBC One, and Stan.

Stan is set to release a new original series, ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal’, on 17 October, directed by Dylan River, known for ‘Mystery Road: Origin’ and ‘Robbie Hood’.

The BBC and Stan have unveiled a cast of up-and-comers for Jack Thorne’s Lord of the Flies adaptation, with Hans Zimmer set to do the score.

The networks said they cast following an open call with many actors who don’t have previous experience. David McKenna will play Piggy alongside Winston Sawyers as Ralph, Lox Pratt as Jack, Isaac Talbut as Simon, and Thomas Connor as Roger. Noah and Cassius Flemyng have been cast as the twins Sam and Eric, with Cornelius Brandreth as Maurice, and Tom Page-Turner as Bill, alongside an ensemble of more than 20 other boys playing the desert island camp’s “big ‘uns” and “little ‘uns”.

Zimmer, who has also scored upcoming BBC drama Virdee, will do the music with Kara Talve (Tattooist of Auschwitz, Prehistoric Planet) for Bleeding Fingers Music.

When it was first announced that fans would be blessed with the prospect of watching a Donald Trump biopic, the folks were left shocked. After all, the business mogul has always remained a controversial figure, even before he stepped on the political bandwagon.

Add to that the fact that the movie was all set to hit the theatres in the year the US goes to election. Trump’s camp was in no mood to go easy on the movie directed by Ali Abbasi. But a recent development suggests that the Sebastian Stan starrer might have a chance still.

Critical Incident is a psychological crime drama that grips from the start. Launching on Stan, the series centers around a “critical incident” involving police constable Zilficar “Zil” Ahmed, played compellingly by Akshaye Khanna, and troubled teen Dalia Tun, portrayed vividly by Zoe Boe. Their fates become intertwined one night in Western Sydney, setting off complex questions around police work in multicultural communities.

The show captures attention with these nuanced characters and the social themes woven into its intricate plot. Yet it also intrigues through clever uses of tension. Scenes tease out uncertainty, from the chilling opening at a police station to later juggles between timelines. Questions linger around precisely what transpired between Zil and Dalia to change their lives.

Character perspectives shift our understanding too. Zil feels driven to prove himself right, while Dalia seeks escape from a flawed system. Their gray motives mirror real life’s complexity better than clear-cut heroes and villains.

World premieres of Alfonso Cuarón’s Disclaimer, Joe Wright’s M. Son of the Century, Tomas Alfredson’s Faithless and Thomas Vinterberg’s debut TV series Families Like Ours were unveiled as part of the Toronto Film Festival’s Primetime program on Friday.

Leighton Meester is making a return to TV in a new cop show from The CW, Roku, and Stan (an Australian streaming service)! Here’s what else to know about Good Cop/Bad Cop!

The CW has been in flux in the last few years thanks to some big behind-the-scenes changeovers from Nexster and the cancellation of scores of fun shows. The network is now into acquiring productions from Canada and other nations to boost themselves.

Such a series is Good Cop/Bad Cop. The plot focuses on Lou and Henry, a brother and sister pair of cops with a quirky relationship. They serve on the same police force in a Pacific Northwest town under the tough, demanding police chief, who happens to be their father.

Playing Lou is Leighton Meester, best known for her role as Blair Waldorf on The CW hit Gossip Girl. Henry is played by Luke Cook,...

This article contains some spoilers for "Deadpool & Wolverine."

Ever since 2000's "X-Men," the appearance of Marvel Comics guru Stan Lee in a cameo role became a prerequisite for every single Marvel movie made after. After playing a slew of characters with rich inner lives such as "Man in Fair," "Old Man at Crossing," "Waterhose Man" and, his greatest role, "Stan Lee," the filmmakers at Marvel Studios started to get a little more sneaky and clever with inserting Stan's visage into each movie.

Turns out that sneaking Lee into increasingly kooky and weird places was good practice, for when Lee passed away at the ripe old age of 95 in November of 2018, Marvel had to try and find a new way of honoring the tradition without resorting to ghoulishness. While a number of Lee cameos were shot before his passing, there were others that were planned for Lee that never allowed...

While these are more space fantasy than true sci-fi, the genre's core purpose is to offer commentary on our present and possible future. Films like Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, and Ridley Scott's The Martian are exemplary in their scientific fidelity. However, one film stands out for its unparalleled accuracy: Ron Howard's Apollo 13.

The Story of the Failed, Yet Heroic Flight to the Moon

"Apollo 13" is not your typical sci-fi movie but rather a science space drama with fictional elements, dramatizing the perilous events of the April 1970 space mission. Directed by Ron Howard, known for films like Willow, A Beautiful Mind, and The Da Vinci Code, and written by William Broyles Jr. and Al Reinert, the movie meticulously recreates the dangerous mission.

Hollywood’s recent predilection for depicting the invention of particular products has, so far, relied on demonstrating the gravitas of said product’s eventual existence: Nike’s Air Jordans in Air; the dawn of the smartphone in BlackBerry; Tetris in, well, Tetris. Unfrosted, Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tarts movie takes the opposite approach. It is, by design, extremely silly — an exaggerated parody of those tropes that ascribes history-altering importance to the creation of a fruit-goo-filled rectangle. For kids, Unfrosted argues, the arrival of the Pop-Tart was the most seismic cultural event of the ’60s; Seinfeld himself was one of those kids.

More than two decades later, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Devon Sawa playing the titular role in the unforgettable music video for Eminem’s 2000 classic, “Stan,” but the actor has revealed Macaulay Culkin was the first choice to star in the visual.

“They went out to Macaulay Culkin first,” Sawa told Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview. “I think that they wanted him, and he wasn’t available, or didn’t want to do it or whatever.”

Thankfully for Sawa, Dr. Dre (who directed the video) was a fan of his work in Final Destination and suggested him instead. “There happened to be somebody in the casting office that knew somebody who was friends with me, and they called me that way… and it ended up working out pretty good,” Sawa explained, adding that the video was “one of the proudest things I’ve been a part of.

Eminem is a well-known personality in the music world who is almost always shrouded with controversy.

The Slim Shady rapper’s original name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Marshall and John’s friendship began in 2001 when they performed at the 2001 Grammys. Back then, the rapper was condemned for his alleged homophobic lyrics, with The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) striking against him outside The Staples Centre.

At a time when hate and intolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community is on the rise, I wanted to write a horror comedy with heart that showcased drag queens and queers as the heroes. Drag queens have always been a symbol of resistance and resilience, so seeing them kick-ass against a bunch of blood-sucking vampires felt like a comical, yet pointed allegory.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Apples Never Fall finale.] Apples Never Fall spent seven episodes unraveling the mystery of Joy Delaney’s (Annette Bening) disappearance, and as it turns out, no one’s theories about whodunnit were right. In fact, the explanation was overwhelmingly simple. Each episode of the Peacock melodrama focused on a different member of the Delaney family. It featured flashbacks from “then” and “now” to show how the family’s rift happened, how it led to Joy going missing, and the aftermath. While her absence caused shockwaves and was splashed across the news, the truth was ultimately pretty anticlimactic. Joy wasn’t dead; she just left. Finding out why she left answered every lingering question the series posed. By the time we got to Sam Neill‘s Stan-focused Episode 6, everyone in the family and the court of public opinion (including the West Palm Beach police) believed he was responsible for her disappearance.

Last month, in the heat of the Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion beef, TMZ reported that the cemetery where Megan’s mother Holly Thomas is buried had to bolster security after the location was doxxed on social media by one of Nicki’s fans, collectively known as “Barbz.” Nicki had nothing to do with the threat, but the brazenness was nonetheless regarded as a low point for stan culture and led many to ponder if that depth of celebrity stan-dom was a mental illness in itself.

In the nine years since that full-length’s release, Derulo has kept himself in the public eye, whether through his Tiktoks or his steady stream of singles; his fizzy collaboration with the New Zealand producer Jawsh 685 “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat” even reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2020, thanks in part to a clutch assist from BTS.

That gap helps explain in part the length of Nu King, Derulo’s fifth album.

Eminem is producing Stans, from director Steven Leckart, about just how intense fans can get: more here.

It took me a little while to work out that the idea of ‘standom’ – a particularly fanatical kind of fandom – emanated from the Eminem song ‘Stan’ from the year 2000. I wouldn’t mind, I bought the sodding single as well.

Anyway. Eminem is returning to the world of Stans with a documentary feature film that his company is backing. Cunningly, said documentary will be going by the name of Stans, and Eminem is listed amongst the co-producers of the project.

He’s not the director though, so let’s have a paragraph or two on him. Steven Leckart is the person in question, and he’s previously directed Challenger: The Final Flight. He also co-wrote the TV series Legacy: The True Story Of The LA Lakers, which hasn’t made it to these shores.

Eminem is fittingly set to co-produce, and be the partial focus of, a new documentary about obsessive superfans, tentatively (and obviously) titled Stans.

As Variety reports, the new project was directed by Steven Leckart, and uses Eminem and “the fans that worship him” as a launching point for what’s described as a “revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of superfandom.” Stans is apparently just the working title — named, of course, for Eminem and Dido’s 2000 hit “Stan” about an obsessive, delusional fan — but it’s hard...

After inadvertently coining the term “stan” on his 2000 song of the same name, Eminem is now set to co-produce Stans, a documentary about overzealous superfans.

As first reported by Variety, the new documentary will be a “revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of superfandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic and enduring artists, Eminem, and the fans that worship him.” While Eminem may not be the first artist that comes to mind when thinking of overreaching fans in 2024, his chilling track “Stan” laid the groundwork for describing the type of parasocial relationship that many fanatics have with their favorite artists.

Eminem will co-produce the documentary under his Shady Films banner, with Steven Leckart serving as its director. A release date is unconfirmed, but the film is slated to come later this year. Eminem’s longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, and Shady Films...

After scoring her biggest weekend ever with Pathaan at the same time last year, she now has her fourth biggest weekend ever as well in a span of 12 months. The film that has in fact kept it from moving further up the list is Happy New Year which was much maligned back then but has stood the test of time.

The 10-year-old film still holds the record with 108.86 crores accumulated in the first three days and Fighter has fallen short by a few crores.

Also, it’s just a few lakhs short of Chennai Express which was one of her best ever with a weekend of 93.66 crores.
