Although we would absolutely love to see a Griselda season 2, it's just not going to happen, seeing as though the hit crime drama series was billed as a limited series. Also, the first season tells drug queenpin Griselda Blanco's complete life story, so a second season wouldn't be necessary. However, that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Sofia Vergara and the Griselda creative team.

In an August 2024 interview with Variety, Vergara and Griselda co-creator Eric Newman discussed, among other things, the crime drama's success at Netflix, working together, and future potential projects.

“From the earliest days of my research for what became Narcos, [Griselda] leapt out at me as a fascinating character,” said series creator Eric Newman in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “I have always endeavored to humanize complicated people, many of whom have been considered evil, and Griselda offered both the greatest challenge and opportunity.”

Francis Lawrence is giving an update on the development of Constantine 2 with Keanu Reeves and things are seemingly moving along.

The sequel to the 2005 superhero horror film was stalled due to the writers strike but with writers back at work, Lawrence has been in meetings with Reeves to continue the saga.

“So Constantine 2 got obviously held up by the writers strike,” Lawrence told Gamespot. “And we had to jump through a bunch of hurdles to get control of the character again, because other people had control of the Vertigo stuff. We have control.”

Lawrence continued, “Keanu and Akiva Goldsman and I have been in meetings and have been hashing out what we think the story is going to be, and there’s more meetings of those that have to happen–the script has to be written–but really hoping that we get to do Constantine 2, and make...

Sound of Freedom director Alejandro Monteverde is getting back in business with Utah-based Angel Studios for the release of his latest movie, Cabrini.

Angel Studios, which found box office gold with Sound of Freedom and prides itself on working outside of the Hollywood studio system, will release Cabrini in theaters on March 8, 2024. The drama portrays Francesca Cabrini, a poor Italian immigrant in New York City who overcame the odds to become a major entrepreneur in the 19th century.

“Francesca Cabrini is one of the most inspiring and influential figures in modern history, and yet few know her story. Faced with seemingly insurmountable life obstacles, Cabrini chose instead to focus on how she could change the status quo in her time, and her impact on the world is still felt today,” Liz Ellis, COO of Angel Studios, said in a statement on Tuesday.

Cabrini stars Cristiana Dell’Anna, John Lithgow, David Morse,...

Despite its status as the highest-grossing indie film since 2019’s “Parasite,” “Sound of Freedom” has been dismissed as a QAnon fever dream by large swaths of the mainstream media. But that derisive label is “so ridiculous” to the film’s writer-director Alejandro Monteverde, who began working on the project in 2015, two years before QAnon emerged.

“The origin [of the film] has been avoided, purposely or accidentally, in the media,” Monteverde said. “The origin will answer a lot of these misconceptions on the film.”

Back in 2015, the Mexico-born, L.A.-based Monteverde says he was unaware of the scourge of child sex trafficking until he watched a network news segment on the subject. What he learned “shook my soul because I didn’t really believe it [existed],” he says. “I just, in my head, could not put those two pieces together — an adult and a child.”

That night, he couldn’t sleep. So, the next morning,...

The Jim Caviezel film Sound of Freedom made a splash at the box office after seemingly coming out of nowhere. However, it had a bumpy road to release after its initial producers, 20th Century Fox, had been acquired by Disney, and the film would wait to be unveiled after crowdfunding gave it a new life. Sound of Freedom is one of the notable films of the summer as it rose out of obscurity to garner around $130 million in its domestic run while hoping to bring awareness to a heavy subject akin to movies like Taken, Skin Trade, and the Academy Award-winning Spotlight.

The film’s distributor, Angel Studios, has recently announced their plans to expand their screenings into worldwide markets. According to The Hollywood Reporter, on Wednesday, the studio “announced release dates for 21 markets, including the U.K., Australia, Spain, South Africa and a host of countries in Latin America.

Sound of Freedom, the indie action-drama film that has already earned over $125 million at the North American box office, will begin to move into international distribution from next month.

Angel Studios, the crowd-funded, Utah-based production and distribution firm behind the picture, says it has set releases in territories including the U.K., Australia and Latin America.

The company explained that it has arranged direct-to-theater distribution deals in Latin America, the U.K, and Ireland. In other territories it will take the more conventional route of partnering with distributors. No distribution alliances have been named.

It will first release in South Africa on Aug. 18, followed by Australia and New Zealand on Aug. 24. It ill reach the U.K. and Ireland on Sept. 1 and Spain on Oct. 11. A huge slew of South American territories, including Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela, will receive the film from Aug. 31.

The faith-based political thriller Sound of Freedom is headed for cinemas overseas.

Angel Studios on Wednesday announced release dates for 21 markets, including the U.K., Australia, Spain, South Africa and a host of countries in Latin America. It begins its foreign run next month. At the U.S. box office, the movie crossed the $100 million mark July 19, a little over two weeks after its release July 4. And it finished Tuesday of this week with a cume north of $130 million.

The Utah-based Angel Studios, which prides itself on working outside of the Hollywood studio system, offers a unique “pay it forward” option whereby consumers can donate tickets. Sound of Freedom has stayed high up on the domestic chart since its debut, and is even outpacing Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which launched July 12 and finished Tuesday with a North American total of $124.2 million.

Directed and written by Alejandro Monteverde,...

Angel Studios is launching its unexpected summer hit Sound of Freedom in a bunch of international markets after it made $127M during its first three weeks in U.S. theaters.

Written and directed by Alejandro Monteverde, the pic, which has been widely embraced by conservative and right-wing commentators, will be released in South Africa from August 18 and Australia and New Zealand from August 24. The film will hit cinemas in the following territories from August 31: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. The film will receive subsequent releases in the UK and Ireland from September 1 and Spain from October 11.

Jim Caviezel stars in human trafficking drama “Sound of Freedom,” the first trailer for which has been unveiled by Angel Studios.

The film is based on the true story of Tim Ballard, a former U.S. government agent that quits his job to rescue children from global sex traffickers. Ballard (Caviezel), a federal agent, finds himself losing hope in the dark field of children crime work. However, Ballard quickly uncovers his life mission when he’s able to free a seven-year-old boy that was kidnapped. When the young boy asks Ballard to find his sister who was also kidnapped, Ballard decides to devote his life to rescuing children from sex slavery.

Alongside Caviezel, the cast also includes Oscar winner Mira Sorvino (“The Final Cut”), Bill Camp (“12 Years a Slave”), José Zúñiga (“Twilight”), Eduardo Verástegui (“Unplanned”), who is also a producer, and written and directed by Alejandro Monteverde.

Physicist Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) leaps from being part of a gang attempting to steal the Hope Diamond in episode one to being a member of the Atlantis space shuttle crew in NBC’s Quantum Leap episode two. All his friends and fellow lab employees hoped he’d leap from 1985 back to the present, but that’s definitely not the case as he’s currently stuck in 1998.

The space shuttle successfully launches and even reluctant traveler Ben’s wowed by the view from space. Their mission is to put the first piece of the International Space Station in place, and he listens to pilot Samantha Stratton (Carly Pope) and Commander Jim Reynolds (Jose Zuniga) exchange friendly banter. Stratton promises she’s going to make Reynolds proud as Ben is mesmerized by the stars.

Chicago P.D. is back for Season 10 on September 21. Here, Tracy Spiridakos, who plays Detective Hailey Upton, breaks down what you need to know ahead of the highly anticipated premiere — the first episode since Jesse Lee Soffer‘s exit was announced. Where We Left Off In his efforts to bring in elusive drug kingpin Javier Escano (José Zúñiga), Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) put confidential informant Anna’s (Carmela Zumbado) life in jeopardy. And in the drama’s Season 9 finale, Voight and Hailey discovered the dying Escano who, with his last breath, named Anna as his killer. Anna refused to go quietly and shot Voight, prompting Hailey to fire back, ultimately killing the Ci. Where We Pick Up Season 10 starts about two weeks after the shooting — and Voight and Upton “haven’t really discussed what’s happened,” Spiridakos says. That causes a world of tension between the pair. “Hailey is worried about Voight,...

Has Intelligence just lost one of its own? Heading into the Chicago P.D. finale (airing May 25), things aren’t looking good for Detective Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos), who was left unconscious after she and Detective Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) were close to an explosion during the team’s moves against Javier Escano (José Zúñiga). After joking about “saying goodbye to” and “really missing” Spiridakos, Patrick John Flueger (who plays Officer Adam Ruzek) and Laroyce Hawkins (who plays Officer Kevin Atwater) assure TV Insider that Upton is fine. “Historically we’ve seen this unit take so much abuse whether it’s explosions, nine millimeter bullets to the gut, car crashes and accidents,” Hawkins says. “And I’m not sure if our audience has figured this out yet, but we’re Intelligence. One of us is worth at least six regular cops — ” “Or nine, I’m gonna up you three,...

Will Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) suffer a major loss before the end of Chicago P.D. Season 9? Considering his criminal informant, Anna (Carmela Zumbado), is putting herself at risk right now, watching Escano (José Zúñiga) and what we’re hearing about the final episodes of the season, it seems possible. “She’s his responsibility, and she’s in a very, very dangerous situation and she at first was somewhat cavalier about the whole thing. There’s a similarity between Voight and Anna. Part of the connection is that they’re very single-minded people. They’re able to kind of lock in on something and focus on it, so that’s kind of what makes them simpatico, I think,” Beghe said during a recent One Chicago press day. “But because he’s constantly trying to warn her to be careful, it has affected in her in that she is becoming more aware of the situation.

It was a case-heavy installment, but isn't that preferable most of the time?

We got a better glimpse of what it means for Halstead to be the holder of Voight's leash in their new, egalitarian partnership on Chicago Pd Season 9 Episode 12, and now that they've figured out how to merge their styles and adapt, it seems to work.

We also spent more time with Anna, and it's enough to put a person on edge.

It's saying something that four bodies dropped before the installment even hit its 15-minute mark.

Voight and Halstead arrived at a landfill to respond to their first body, and from that point forward, the case took them in the direction of Los Temidos, and it showed off their shiny new partnership.

While Halstead took the backseat and barely had a presence during Chicago Pd Season 9 Episode 11, he made up for it here, and blessedly, they switched...

It’s the summer of 2013 and spray cans rattle as Reefa (Tyler Dean Flores), an ambitious, 18-year-old graffiti artist, paints his signature symbol — an eye surrounded by flower petals — illegally on a wall in his suburban Miami neighborhood. Later his father (José Zúñiga) a Colombian immigrant nervously awaiting the arrival of the family’s green cards, discovers it, and forces Reefa to whitewash over it before the authorities arrive. Prickling with adolescent resentment, the young man does so, and inadvertently supplies Jessica Kavana Dornbusch’s true-story biopic with an unfortunate parallel: “Reefa,” based on an enraging, heartbreaking real-life event, paints over the colors, creativity and chaos of its true-life tragedy with layers of film-convention formula.

Reefa is a good-looking skateboarder, cocksure about his artistic talent and eager to break into Miami’s tagging scene prior to moving to New York — the erstwhile home of his heroes Basquiat, Warhol and Haring — to attend art school.

The ratings for Madam Secretary have never been very strong and the series could easily have been cancelled many times over the years. CBS renewed it for a sixth and final season so that the creators could craft a proper final season. Will it be a fitting farewell or will the last episodes just leave fans hungry for Elizabeth to have a another year in office (aka a seventh season)? Stay tuned.

A political thriller, Madam Secretary stars Téa Leoni, Tim Daly, Zeljko Ivanek, Patina Miller, Erich Bergen, Kevin Rahm, and Wallis Currie Wood with Evan Roe, Clifton Davis, and José Zúñiga in recurring roles. As U.S. Secretary of State for five years, Elizabeth McCord (Leoni) battled office politics, while driving diplomacy and negotiating global deals. In the sixth and final season, Elizabeth now holds the highest office in the land with the help of her team.

I had never heard of this comedy-thriller, and the good news is that it’s a pleasant surprise, thoroughly enjoyable. The toughest kind of filmmaking must be making comedy seem effortless, and that’s what Eric Blakeney does in this quirky, near-screwball take on the done-to-death drug deal undercover thriller. Liam Neeson is sensational, and producer Sandra Bullock is at her most charming. Even the flatulence jokes are funny.

“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” As opening lines go, The Gunslinger’s should be up there with Pride and Prejudice’s universally acknowledged truth for sheer iconicism. We say should be, for Stephen King’s epic fantasy Western always was one of his most underappreciated, and less read.

Hence director Nikolaj Arcel and his screenwriters (plus committee, who had a big hand in this aberration) jettisoning that powerful, brilliant, stark opening in favour of modern-day New York and a teenage protagonist. For those unfamiliar with the books, The Dark Tower won’t be even nearly so offensive. Constant readers will...

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. may have a Life Model Decoy problem on their hands.

In Et’s exclusive sneak peek of Tuesday’s new episode, Director Mace (Jason O'Mara) has assembled the team to debrief on the “serious threat” that the mysterious Darkhold still poses to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the world at large.

Exclusive: 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Chloe Bennet on the Team's Battle Against the 'Unexplainable' Darkhold and What’s Next for Daisy

While Coulson (Clark Gregg) is on a mission to hand over the supernatural book to “an agent who specializes in making items like this disappear,” Mace assigns Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Dr. Radcliffe (John Hannah) to erase the hard drive of Radcliffe’s android assistant, Aida (Mallory Jansen), after she read the Darkhold in order to help save Los Angeles from Eli Morrow’s (José Zúñiga) destruction.

“We can’t risk...

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans were thrilled to see rogue agent Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) return to the fold in recent weeks, joining back up with the team in the hopes of finding some answers about the mysterious Darkhold. However, after the events of the last episode -- which saw half the team vanish into thin air after Eli Morrow (José Zúñiga) revealed his true motives and harnessed the Darkhold to imbue himself with otherworldly powers -- it seems like answers might be hard to come by.

“This next episode is really about the rest of the team trying to figure out what the f*** is going on,” Bennet told Et ahead of Tuesday’s episode, titled “Deal With Our Devils,” which finds Daisy and the remaining members of the team short-handed and searching for a solution after Coulson (Clark Gregg), Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Morrow’s nephew, Robbie Reyes aka Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna), have disappeared...

Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. is on a break for a few weeks, giving us a gap in which to reflect on season 4’s offerings so far. And boy, what a season it’s shaping up to be.

Gabriel Luna has burst onto the scene as Robbie Reyes in spectacular fashion, giving Marvel’s flagship television series an adrenalin shot and reinvigorating public interest in the Ghost Rider mythos for the first time since Nic Cage hung up his leather jacket and extinguished his flaming skull.

Hollywood tag-line writer Jennifer B. White (Nora’s Return) pulls double-duty here, both writing and directing this paranormal/supernatural mystery starring Kaylee Bryant (Zugzwang) as the titular Mary.

The story of The Haunting of Mary (also known as Mary Loss of Soul) follows Mary Solis, a young 15 year old girl who disappears suddenly before reappearing without any recollection of what happened to her. Oh, and she’s missing part of her soul too. That part’s important. Mary and her family begin to suffer a terrible haunting from an angry spirit all the while Mary herself begins to tumble further down.

It’s hard to really go into a full-on overview of the plot here without giving away some of the interesting plot developments,...
