While Tom Cruise is known for his action films, he has also experimented with his stardom. He has worked with acclaimed directors like Paul Thomas Anderson, Michael Mann, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and more. Cruise was also legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick’s final leading man.
Kubrick’s final film Eyes Wide Shut was touted as an erotic thriller when it was first announced but the final film seemed to be a more surreal look into the world of secret societies, cults, and the elite. While the film polarized viewers, Cruise later defended the film saying that the expectations of the audience clouded their judgment.

William H. Macy has joined the ever-growing cast of The Running Man, Paramount’s adaptation of the Stephen King story from director Edgar Wright.
Glen Powell tops the call sheet that also includes names such as Josh Brolin, Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding), Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy), Michael Cera and Coda star Emilia Jones.
King’s Running Man, published in 1982 and written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, was set in 2025 in an America under a totalitarian regime that uses violent game shows to placate the disenfranchised masses.

After a nearly 5-decade run in Hollywood, Tom Cruise has become one of the industry’s most bankable stars. The actor has become known for his dedication, physical stunts, and larger-than-life roles. However, some of his roles have required a more immersive style of method acting. While the actor has always gone all-out for his films, he revealed that drawing from his own life experience was not something he believed in.

Mark Wahlberg has spent his entire professional life creating a perfect career. Not isolated to a specific genre, the actor has explored all the layers of the film industry. From comedy to action, horror, and even science fiction, he has tried his hand at everything, until coming to a comfortable genre for himself.

Considering this, one can imagine that the early years of his time in Hollywood were full of a lot of experimenting. While some decisions can be the best thing to ever happen to someone, some can force one to completely stray away from something. With this in mind, it is only natural that Wahlberg has had his fair share of regrets.
However, no one would expect that the actor has a changed perspective towards a film that completely changed the trajectory of his career and was even nominated for Oscars.

Tom Cruise is one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood, thanks to his recent string of hits such as the Mission: Impossible and Top Gun sequels. However, Cruise made a name for himself in the 1990s and early 2000s by working with several visionary directors, including the likes of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.

After leading dark comedy “A Different Man” and Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice,” Sebastian Stan is slated for iconic filmmaker Elaine May’s fifth and final feature, “Crackpot.” However, production is still waiting on a shadow director for the 92-year-old May.
Stan said during “The Big Picture” podcast that he is on board the project, which was first announced in 2019. Dakota Johnson is set to co-lead alongside Stan, but Stan said he still doesn’t know the status of the film — and he’s casting his net in hopes of helping May find a shadow director to insure the movie. It’s a common set practice with older filmmakers.
“I have this thing, I don’t know if it’ll ever get going,” Stan said. “I have this thing that Elaine May was going to direct. It was going to be her last film and her first film since ‘Ishtar.

After many years of radio silence on Elaine May’s Crackpot, a comedy starring Dakota Johnson that was planned to be the 92-year-old filmmaker’s fifth and final directorial feature, we finally got an update earlier this year. During the Madame Web press tour of all things, Johnson confirmed it’s still in development and they are working on casting. Now we have an update on an additional cast member and the one roadblock that’s preventing the film from getting underway.

With just a few weeks to go before the U.S. presidential election, Benicio del Toro has spoken out against the way that hot-button issues like immigration are used by candidates to rally support in the lead-up to the election.
The Oscar-winning star of “Traffic” and “Sicario” is guest of honor at the 16th edition of the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon, France, where he was hosting a masterclass.
Del Toro is part of a roster of stars attending the fest, which is organized by Cannes Film Festival chief Thierry Frémaux. Other high profile talent on the ground in Lyon includes Xavier Dolan, Isabelle Huppert, Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci.
“You can’t group people and say they are all bad people…most people who are trying to get to America are trying to improve their lives because there are problems in their hometowns, wherever they come from. They’re trying to better their lives,...

Expect the summer of 2025 to be a big one, with Disney announcing two huge live-action projects are coming that year!
Disney movies have been having their share of problems in the last year. There have been too many high-profile duds like Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Wish. Even the MCU has faltered with The Marvels an outright bomb amid behind-the-scenes turmoil.
It’s not helped by the 2023 Hollywood strikes halting productions, and Disney has been forced to rearrange its slate. However, the success of Inside Out 2 has restored confidence in the company. They’ll be keeping that up with Moana 2 coming out at Thanksgiving and Mufasa for Christmas.
Disney had already rearranged their slate as Snow White, intended for this fall, will now premiere on March 21, 2025. Meanwhile, Pixar’s Elio, which was supposed to come this past June, was pushed an entire year to June 13.

Heather Graham recalls stepping out of her comfort zone to take on her role in 1997’s Boogie Nights.
The actress, who plays Rollergirl in Paul Thomas Anderson’s porn-industry drama, recently said on the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast that she initially avoided projects involving sexual content.
“I grew up in a religious family, and they were like, ‘Don’t do anything with any sexual content,'” Graham explained. “But try to be a woman in Hollywood in your early 20s, mid-20s, and then to try to get no roles with any sexual content — it’s like impossible.”
The Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me star ultimately decided to go against her family’s wishes and not limit her opportunities in Hollywood.
“I had turned down a few things where there was sexual content, and then I saw other people, having really good careers,” she recalled.

Disney has just given firm dates to its Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan sequel Freakier Friday and the live-action take of its animated classic Lilo & Stitch for next summer. Lilo & Stitch will open on May 23, 2025, while Freakier Friday is going August 8, 2025.
Lilo & Stich moves onto the Memorial Day weekend where it joins Paramount’s next installment of Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise. Surely, both can share the wealth, with M:i geared toward male adults and the Disney pic toward families.
Newcomer Maia Kealoha plays Lilo in the live-action version of the Hawaii-set 2002 animated pic; the new take was originally developed for Disney+ before shifting to a theatrical release.

Jason Reitman is on a barnstorming tour for Saturday Night, telling everyone about his amazing week in 2008 as an SNL guest writer. Guest writer? How does that work exactly? Do you book a session like an Airbnb? Does Lorne Michaels bring you in like a lecturer in Copenhagen?

Reitman’s stint at 30 Rock was “one of the greatest weeks of my life,” he told Entertainment Weekly at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. “I was lucky enough to guest write at Saturday Night Live. … Right after Juno, I got the chance to go in and spend one week.

Sunday Am: “This isn’t a box office marketplace problem, this is a creative development problem,” declared one movie marketing vet this weekend over Warner Bros’ bold swing with a foul Joker: Folie à Deux, which at a production cost of $190M+ net is coming in way, way, way below forecasts at $39M, steeper than the $47M which was spotted by the town yesterday. Warner is reporting $40M this morning, others see it lower. Amazingly, the studio’s overseas $80M+ projection held up with what’s coming in at a $81.1M opening; total worldwide at $121.1M, not $140M+.

“The Bikeriders” is taking a trip from original to adapted screenplay Oscar consideration.
Focus Features’ drama, directed and written by Jeff Nichols, will compete for the Academy Award in the best adapted screenplay category, Variety has learned exclusively.
The movie stars Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy. It premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, garnering rave reviews despite the ongoing Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild strikes. Initially scheduled for release by 20th Century Studios on December 1, 2023, the film’s launch was delayed. Focus Features later acquired the project and released it in June. Before this acquisition, Variety exclusively confirmed that although the film draws inspiration from Danny Lyon’s iconic photobook, it was initially positioned as an original screenplay.

Very few actors in the industry can even dream of what Daniel Day-Lewis achieved in his career. The actor, often considered one of the greatest in the industry, has made a huge name for his detailed research behind every role. However, even after having 3 Oscars and numerous hits, his net worth is lower than most of his contemporaries including Denzel Washington.

Although Denzel Washington is only 2 years older than Daniel Day-Lewis, the latter’s net worth is not even close to the Equalizer star. With numerous box office hits, Washington has also been a commercially successful star. Interestingly, Day-Lewis, even after having such a low net worth, did not need work for 7 years before finally announcing his comeback in 2024.

There’s a lot of promise in the idea of a musical starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga playing the Joker and Harley Quinn, especially in the latter being portrayed as the ultimate unstable fangirl, and giving Arthur Fleck something to hope for as he goes on trial for the murders committed in Joker. Imagine what John Waters or Paul Thomas Anderson would do with that premise. Hell, we don’t even have to imagine an animated take, as Joker: Folie à Deux’s one true masterstroke of sinister, madcap joy is starting with a short recap of Arthur Fleck’s story created by The Triplets of Belleville director Sylvain Chomet.
When that short is over, though, we get the Todd Phillips version, which is largely anchored to stone-faced reality for 130-plus excruciatingly withholding minutes. In grappling with the implications of its story, Folie à Deux’s every attempt at showcasing cleverness,...

Seven years ago, I recorded my swooning-fanboy professional farewell to Daniel Day-Lewis who at the age of 60 had announced his retirement from movies. He was just going to do Phantom Thread with Paul Thomas Anderson, apparently, and then that would be it.
No. Surely not. I dared to hope that he would change his mind. Now he has dramatically retired from retirement, and is shooting a movie called Anemone, co-starring Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. It should be great news. It is great news. And yet many Ddl fans will have woken up this morning, pondering a strange and disturbing dream they’ve had about Jaden Smith, son of Will. Whatever can it mean?...
