Halle Berry scored one of her most memorable roles with the 2002 feature Monster’s Ball. She knew the Oscar-winning role would be something special as soon as she read the script. But when she saw herself in the movie, even Berry was unprepared with how unfamiliar she’d look.

Berry agreed that the Marc Foster-directed movie left her exposed in a way she never was before, both literally and figuratively. Berry had to play a very complicated and sometimes unlikable character in Monster’s Ball. The role required her to channel real emotions to truly embody the part.
“Well, it was that kind of movie,” Berry once told BBC. “It was about really servicing those characters and making them as flawed and as complicated as a human being is. Marc...

Angelina Jolie hit the red carpet with her 15-year-old daughter, Vivienne Jolie, on Thursday night in Los Angeles for the opening of the musical Reefer Madness.
Jolie, 48, wore a chic black suit with a printed gray tie over a white t-shirt as she supported her friend Kristen Bell, who produced the immersive theatrical experience. Vivienne donned black trousers and a matching vest over a pale blue shirt.
Bell, 43, starred in the 2005 film Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical and now is bringing the cult classic back to the stage as a producer alongside Alan Cumming. She looked stunning in a long black dress with sheer detailing at the opening night at The Whitley Theater.
Reefer Madness: The Musical is billed as an “immersive theatrical experience” based on the 1936 anti-drug propaganda film. It satirizes the old film’s outdated views on marijuana.

One of the most famous women in the world, Angelina Jolie, started acting right out of high school. Despite her outward appearance, she has described herself as an awkward outsider at Beverly Hills High School, where she was teased because by her rich classmates. She lived with her mother in an apartment, and the family existed only on child support from her father actor Jon Voight, who had financial problems of his own. She later transferred to a different school and found her identity as what she describes as “a punk chick with tattoos.”
She began her career in a series of forgettable films (“Cyborg 2” anyone?) but then suddenly grabbed attention in the TV mini-series “George Wallace.” The series depicted the life of the title character, who was a controversial governor of Alabama and a presidential candidate. Jolie received very positive reviews as his second wife, Cornelia. Later that same...

When it was announced that Yellowstone would conclude with its fifth season, many reports emerged stressing this was a result of an alleged feud between Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan. Moreover, considering that Costner has kickstarted his own film series with Horizon: An American Saga, some speculated his commitment to the Western epic might’ve contributed to its ending.
But earlier this month, the actor finally cleared the air surrounding the Yellowstone drama, even stating that he initially signed in for seven seasons of Sheridan’s western drama.

2024’s Venice Film Festival isn’t far away. Last year’s event was one that was slightly cut down due to the ongoing strikes that had befallen Hollywood and prevented a number of actors from attending for the promotion of their films. The films that screened last year included David Fincher’s The Killer, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, Ava DuVernay’s Origin, Michael Mann’s Ferrari and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro. The line-up for films out of competition featured such big names as Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, William Friedkin, Richard Linklater and Roman Polanski.
The 81st Annual Venice Film Festival is set for August 28 to September 7. Variety is reporting that among the films that are being rumored for screenings is the Todd Phillips follow-up to the Joaquin Phoenix reimagining of DC’s Clown Prince of Crime.

The upcoming Venice Film Festival is shaping up to be a star-studded affair with Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Gal Gadot and Ana de Armas among top Hollywood talents likely to be launching high-profile titles from the Lido.
Though festival chief Alberto Barbera has yet to see several submitted works that are likely to make the cut, a clutch of globally buzzy movies have already secured a coveted Venice berth, though some of the more mainstream entries will probably be bowing out-of-competition.
“Joker 2: Folie à Deux,” Todd Phillips’ edgy musical sequel to his 2019 Golden Lion prizewinning “Joker,” starring Gaga and Phoenix, is a competition shoo-in, along with Pablo Larraín’s Maria Callas biopic “Maria,” starring Jolie in the title role.

The daughter of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has dropped her father’s last name from The Outsiders musical Playbill. The 15-year-old is credited as “Vivienne Jolie” instead of “Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.” Vivienne is the second of the former couple’s children to omit their father’s surname. However, it is still unclear if Vivienne legally changed her name.
Zahara, the eldest daughter, went by “Zahara Marley Jolie” in November 2023 at Spelman College. Pitt has had a strained relationship with his children after Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. Pitt has been criticized by his own children for alleged abuse.
One of their sons, Pax Jolie-Pitt, called Pitt a “world-class a——” on Father’s Day 2020 in a private Instagram post. Pax called out Pitt for having “no consideration or empathy towards [his] four youngest children.”
In new court filings in April, Jolie also accused Pitt of abuse before the 2016 plane incident.

Taylor Sheridan was inspired by all the Western films he saw as a youngster to create Yellowstone. One film that influenced him the most was Clint Eastwood’s Oscar-winning film Unforgiven. However, Eastwood’s indirect contributions to Sheridan’s series go beyond Western inspiration. The creator hired one actor in the series after watching him play a role in an Eastwood film.

Kick-started in 2008 with prime Robert Downey Jr. taking over as Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way from its roots. What started as a series of interconnected movies soon expanded into one of the entertainment industry’s largest ever following the release of 2012’s The Avengers.
The ultimate crossover laced with an intricate storyline gave fans a complete look at arguably the best comic book live-action universe, complete with actors that became synonymous with their roles.

The success of such a crossover largely came off the expertise and brainwork of Kevin Feige, John Favreau, and other early leads who had worked in the early age of superhero movies, that started taking shape in the late ‘90s. However, what if that age had happened a bit closer?

Amazon Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith reboot was released earlier this year to surprisingly good reviews. Starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, the show, created by Glover along with Francesca Sloane, followed two spies who are partnered up as a married couple while on a mission. The show was renewed for a second season recently.
While the show’s second-season renewal was met with fanfare, rumors began to float about Glover and Erskine being dropped from the show. However, showrunner Sloane debunked the rumor and mentioned that the cliffhanger from the season finale still stands and that the rumors were untrue.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s 2005 hit movie has finally been adapted into a TV show after several stop-start attempts. Created by Donald Glover and his “Atlanta” colleague Francesca Sloane, the series follows two secret agents who go undercover as a married couple in order to complete missions for a mysterious organization.
Glover stars as one half of the duo while “Pen15” star/creator Maya Erskine features as the other. Glover is reliably excellent as John Smith but it’s Erskine, as Jane Smith, who steals the show, as noted by critics.
Kristen Baldwin (Entertainment Weekly) stated: “Erskine — so wonderfully, uninhibitedly awkward in ‘PEN15’ — brings a riveting stillness to Jane. Her character’s inscrutable mien keeps John and the audience a little off-balance, though Erskine reveals glimmers of emotional desolation in Jane’s steady gaze.”

The actor and film-maker talks from Cannes about swapping Rain Man and Hot Shots! for an arthouse epic about a pansexual femme fatale
Valeria Golino rolls into her Cannes hotel late, trailing cigarette smoke and apologies. She hasn’t even had time to check in when a publicist steers her into the garden and plumps her beneath an awning. She’s being rained on a little and has to reposition her chair. “Let us sit very close together,” she says, which is lovely when she is still and faintly alarming when she’s not. Her emphatic hand gestures almost take my nose off.
Golino won the best actress prize at Venice (for Francesco Maselli’s A Tale of Love) when she was still a teenager. She has appeared in arthouse European films and Hollywood spectaculars alike. These days she’s primarily known as a film-maker, having played in Cannes with her first two features.

Judge Orders Angelina Jolie To Produce NDAs in Winery Case ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Angelina Jolie’s camp called out her ex-husband, Brad Pitt after an LA judge ordered the actress to provide all NDAs from the past eight years amid ongoing lawsuits over the couple’s French vineyard.
Brad Pitt filed a lawsuit against Angelina Jolie in February 2022, claiming that his ex-wife breached their contract by selling her Miraval winery shares without his consent. The couple bought Château Miraval from Tom Bove on May 8, 2008, for 25 million euros.
In the contentious case, non-disparagement agreements became a key component after Angelina Jolie claimed that she backed out of selling her stake in the company to Pitt over his request that she sign a mutual NDA that her lawyer deemed controlling. In response, Pitt’s attorneys claimed the actress, who has also routinely used NDAs, made the claims about Pitt’s proposed NDA...

Despite Kevin Feigeʼs tireless efforts to keep the cogs of the megalomaniacal Marvel universe running, some of the products like the star-studded Eternals come out a bit worse for the wear and bear the brunt of the fans who remain dejected with the performance of the Phase Four era.
The quality of projects originating in the post-Endgame saga of the MCU have performed categorically worse in the recent past. Regardless, not many original projects coming out of that Phase have received the sequel treatment.

Moreover, the studioʼs stagnating state of work neither shows improvement nor the desire to achieve it, making it difficult to accept Marvelʼs decision regarding a Phase Four film sequel.

The campaign, shot by iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz, features the tennis champions, a rare off-the-court pairing, ascending to the summit of Italy’s Dolomites mountain range. The imagery fits the campaign’s tagline: “There are Journeys that turn into Legends.”

Brad Pitt is known for his work in an array of genres, that cemented him among the high-profile Hollywood actors. Among his projects, his 1995 crime thriller, Se7en remains a highly acclaimed work that catapulted the actor to more serious, dramatic roles. While the entire project continued to give off spooky vibes, one cannot help but agree that the unseen movie ending remains one of the most unsettling sequences.

The film director, David Fincher wanted to elevate the gore element in the last sequence but the actor meddled to keep things just like what we witnessed in the final cut. He even added a certain clause before signing the project to keep Fincher from making any changes later in the movie.

How do the makers of Bridgerton keep a fandom as dedicated as theirs guessing? How does the Netflix show surprise a core of fans who are so intimately familiar with Julia Quinn’s source books that they’re anticipating every blush and ball before it even gets to the screen?
One solution, as has happened in season three, is to play with the established order of things. Though Benedict Bridgerton’s romance follows on from that of his brother Anthony’s in Quinn’s book series, the TV show has (rightly!) vaulted over that to first show the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.

Back in 2005, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith made a revolution in action movies, as it perfectly balanced between romantic plotline, fighting sequences and high-class comedy. And we’re not talking about its pop-cultural influence, as it established Pitt and Jolie's personal relationship that became a source of juicy gossip.
Surprisingly, 11 years before that, there was a movie, quite similar to it by its plot and style, but it’s obviously lesser known than Mr. & Mrs. Smith. However, some cinephiles claim it’s even better than the 2005 flick and that’s why it deserves more attention.
Its plot revolves around Harry Tasker, a U.S. government agent, who needs to pretend to be a salesman to protect his family. While his true occupation is forcing him to go through new dangerous challenges, his personal life prepares him for a struggle too.
