If you’re a gritty crime drama fan and you aren’t watching Guy Ritchie’s MobLand, which is currently airing on Paramount+, you’re gonna want to go ahead and hop on that immediately. As reported by Deadline, its premiere episode saw a record debut week, per Paramount Global, making it the streamer's biggest global series launch ever, even over Taylor Sheridan hits. MobLand joins 1923 and Landman but sits above them as part of the top three launches in Paramount+ history. What this means is, in short, MobLand season 2 looks pretty promising after this latest ratings reveal.

“MobLand is a runaway success thanks to the visionary work of Guy [Ritchie], Jez [Butterworth], Ronan [Bennett], and David Glasser and brought to life by the exceptional Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, who transport us into a world audiences clearly cannot get enough of,” said Paramount Co-CEO and President and CEO of...

Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys have some exciting projects on the way, with Pike attached starring in two upcoming Guy Ritchie movies, and Rhys starring in the Netflix TV series “The Beast In Me.” But before those three things, the pair team up for “Hallow Road,” a thriller that premiered at SXSW last month.

Pike and Rhys play two parents who receive one of the worst late-night calls from their teenage daughter possible.

Mobland, the brand new Paramount+ series from Guy Ritchie, is becoming super popular on the streaming service with latest data showing 8.8 million viewers watched the global premiere in its first 7 days on the streamer.

Here’s a synopsis: Power is up for grabs as the Harrigans and Stevensons, two warring London crime families, clash in a kill-or-be-killed battle that threatens to topple empires and ruin lives. Caught in the crossfire is Harry Da Souza, the street-smart ‘fixer’ as dangerous as he is handsome, who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide. As kingdom goes up against kingdom, lines will be crossed – and the only saving grace is a bet-your-life guarantee: family above everything.

The series debuted on March 30, and the first few episodes are available to stream on Paramount+ now.

“MobLand” has found its audience, quadrupling its initial premiere day viewership in its first week.

The series, which hails from Guy Ritchie, has brought in 8.8 million viewers in its debut week on Paramount+, according to Nielsen live-plus-seven-day figures, growing a whopping 298% from its initial premiere viewership of 2.2 million.

“MobLand” now ranks as Paramount+’s biggest global series launch week ever, with the show joining other Paramount+ hit series “1923” and “Landman” as the streamer’s top three launches to date.

On its premiere day on March 30, “MobLand” was also buzzy on social media, scoring 9.7 million total views.

Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, “MobLand” centers on two mob families who clash in a war that threatens to topple empires and lives, per the official logline.

In addition to the above trio,...

Exclusive: Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B Entertainment has revealed that it is in early talks to make what could become a second season of Adolescence after the series’ success on Netflix.

In their first interview since Adolescence went off like a firework last month, Plan B co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner told Deadline that they are speaking to director Philip Barantini about the “next iteration” of the show, which starred and was co-created by Stephen Graham.

Gardner said they are thinking about how they can “widen the aperture, stay true to its DNA, [and] not be repetitive,” but she did not wish to reveal too much about their plans. Kleiner added that they hope Graham and Jack Thorne, the British writer behind Adolescence, can re-team on the project. Warp Films and Matriarch Productions were the co-producers.

The conversations are likely to be welcomed by Netflix and the millions who have watched the series,...

Henry Cavill seems to be recovering quickly from the hits his career has taken in the past few years. With Guy Ritchie’s In the Grey and his dream project Warhammer 40k coming up, it doesn’t seem like he has much to worry about for now.

Hence, the actor enjoying the simple pleasures of life right now is more than understandable. Incidentally, Cavill has taken it upon himself to share a glimpse of his blissful life on his Instagram account from time to time. Those glimpses, though, revealed one of his hobbies that can rival even his impressive Warhammer collection.

Black Bear’s management arm has signed “Flightplan” and “Red” director Robert Schwentke for representation. In a decades-long career, Schwentke has moved between indie productions, franchise fare and action and adventure films.

His war drama, “The Captain,” premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival to critical acclaim, going on to win multiple awards, including the Fipresci Prize at the Vilnius International Film Festival. It was nominated for five categories at the 2018 German Film Awards.

Schwentke’s other directing credits include “Snake Eyes,” the third installment in the “G.I. Joe” film series, for Paramount Pictures; “Insurgent” and “Allegiant,” the second and third installments of the blockbuster “Divergent” series for Lionsgate, which together grossed over $475 million worldwide; and “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams, for Warner Bros. He also directed “Red,” starring Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman, which grossed $200 million globally and received a Golden Globe...

Jason Statham has undoubtedly set a high bar for himself, especially in recent years. The action star has delivered hits of all shapes and sizes, often exceeding the industry's expectations. His latest offering, A Working Man, topped the domestic box office in its first weekend of release, and has now passed a significant milestone globally. Although it still trails last year's The Beekeeper by a wide margin — roughly $100 million — the movie has now recovered its reported production budget, and is well on its way to success.

This past weekend, A Working Manpassed the $50 million mark at the global box office. The movie has made $28 million domestically so far, and around $25 million in overseas markets, for a cumulative global haul of $52 million in just 10 days. The movie has now overtaken a bunch of Statham's past movies, including Expen4bles, which was positioned as a starring vehicle for him, but tanked with just $50 million worldwide.

Tom Hardy has started 2025 with several high-octane projects, including the Guy Ritchie series MobLand and the upcoming Havoc, an action film that has been long in development. Now, Netflix wowed everyone with the adrenaline-pumping official trailer.

The trailer, which is merely one minute and forty seconds long, has enough action, fights, and explosions to satisfy every lover of the genre. Havoc previously teased the action in its first teaser, which was just as thrilling. The streaming service also released a new poster, which gives a look not only at Hardy's character but the rest of the high-profile cast.

The first few seconds of the trailer tease that the upcoming action film won't shy away from blood and violence, as Hardy's character, Walker, comes across a drug deal gone wrong. However, Walker's mission is more complicated as he tries to navigate through a corrupt city's criminal underworld and has to save...

Despite being more than two decades removed from playing James Bond, Pierce Brosnan hasn’t ruled out reprising the role if asked, saying he could still “get away with” portraying the character.

During a recent appearance on the Today show, Brosnan was asked by host Savannah Guthrie whether he could still play the iconic secret agent. “I think I could get away with it, yes,” he replied. “In a pinch.”

Guthrie continued by asking the Irish actor whether he’d “want to” revisit the role. “I don’t know. Let’s see where the wind takes us,” he replied. “Let’s see what happens. They know where to find me. Why not?”

Though Guthrie and Brosnan agreed Bond is “a very physical role,” the host pointed to his portrayal of a London gang patriarch in Guy Ritchie’s new Paramount+ series MobLand as evidence he would be up for the task.

It was only in February 2025 that we learned the actual title (and ultimate streaming location) of MobLand, which had been previously referred to as The Associate when it was announced in October 2024 that Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan were in final talks for creator Ronan Bennett's series, with Guy Ritchie as an EP and director. Suddenly, the show was about to premiere on March 30 on Paramount+. How fast was this train moving? It was only announced on March 17 that Janet McTeer had joined the cast. Well, it turns out that production on MobLand actually wrapped on March 26, just four days before its premiere. Apparently, scripts were being written as the show was being filmed. When MovieWeb spoke with the cast, they were just catching their breaths. For some actors, this helped their work.

"There's an effervescence that comes from working on material that's coming immediately off the press,...

Despite competition in the form of A Minecraft Movie this week, Jason Statham’s A Working Man has now assumed the position of a counter-programmer. While families flock to cinemas to experience the crowd-pleasing fun promised by A Minecraft Movie, adult audiences are choosing Statham’s latest action film. Having completed 10 days of release in theaters worldwide, A Working Man has now recovered its reported production budget and passed its first milestone. It’s still, however, trailing Statham’s 2024 hit The Beekeeper by a wide margin.

Directed by David Ayer, The Beekeeper emerged as 2024’s first surprise hit, grossing over $65 million domestically and more than $150 million worldwide. A Working Man is directed by Ayer as well. Like The Beekeeper, it cost a reported $40 million to produce. The movie’s cumulative global gross now stands at $44 million, with $27 million coming from domestic theaters and the remaining $16 million coming from overseas markets.

Tom Hardy is, no surprise, terrific as mob fixer Harry da Souza in Guy Ritchie’s series “MobLand,” which debuted on Paramount+ on Sunday night. As with his previous criminal characters, he brings the necessary ruthlessness and brute power to the role.

While we wait for more episodes to roll out, why not revisit some of his best performances working with some of the best directors in the business, including Christopher Nolan, Nicolas Winding Refn and Alejandro González Iñárritu.

From an alien-possessed reporter to a gleefully garish supervillain, we love him at all decibel levels.

Jason Statham is back on movie theater screens again in “A Working Man,” the new action flick from “The Beekeeper” director David Ayer. The film is, like a lot of Statham’s most beloved and popular blockbusters, a thriller starring him as a man with a deadly skillset and a mission to bring some other very, very bad men to justice. That is an archetype that Statham has become exceptionally good at playing as he has slowly but surely established himself over the years as one of the best B-movie action stars of his generation.

For further proof of that, here are five of his best movies that also happen to be available to stream right now.

“Snatch” (Sony Pictures Releasing) “Snatch” (2000)

One of writer-director Guy Ritchie’s earliest films, “Snatch” is a crime comedy about a small-time boxing promoter (Jason Statham) who ends up embroiled in a screwball plot involving a stolen diamond,...

James Bond might have some toxic traits, but it appears that Pierce Brosnan is a feminist.

After most recently starring together in Guy Ritchie’s MobLand, new episodes streaming Sundays on Paramount+, the Bond veteran agreed with co-star Helen Mirren‘s critique that the 007 franchise is “drenched and born out of profound sexism.”

“Yes, there’s a certain agreement there,” Brosnan told People. “But there’s a certain world and room to move within the proscenium arch of what [Bond creator and author] Ian Fleming put down. So there’s always going to be conflict.”

Brosnan starred as the MI6 agent in GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002).

Mirren, who plays London crime family matriarch Maeve Harrigan in MobLand, previously prefaced that she’s “a massive fan” of her onscreen husband Bronsan, before telling The Standard that the 007 franchise “was not my thing.”

Pierce Brosnan...

A former 007 has weighed in on the most talked-about rumour in the spy world, and he’s fully on board. Pierce Brosnan, who so successfully played James Bond across four films from GoldenEye in 1995 to Die Another Day in 2002, has officially given his nod of approval to Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the potential next Bond. Speaking with Yahoo Entertaininment while promoting his new Guy Ritchie-helmed Paramount+ crime series MobLand, Brosnan reflected on casting and working with Taylor-Johnson years ago and expressed his confidence in the actor’s ability to take on the iconic role.

“I think he would be very good. I cast him in one of the movies I made a long time ago called The Greatest, actually, and he played ‘The Greatest.’ This young man came on the set and took the space, filled the space with passion and energy. So yeah, I think if he wished it,...

Rowdy Herrington's barroom brain-stomper "Road House" has had an interesting pop cultural journey. When it hit theaters 36 years ago, the improbable tale of Dalton (Patrick Swayze), a highly sought-after bouncer (with an NYU philosophy degree) who gets recruited to clean up a once-successful Missouri saloon that's become "the kind of place where they sweep up eyeballs after closing," received the kind of reviews you'd expect. Roger Ebert understood it (though lacked the courage to declare it the masterpiece I believe he knew in his heart it was), but his colleagues tore the film to shreds for being just about everything that makes it great: silly, boisterous and gratuitously violent. If they hadn't walked in expecting to have their intelligence insulted, they would've noticed that it was punchily written by Hilary Henkin and David Lee Henry and ferociously well directed.

Decades later, people possessed of supreme discernment now recognize that...

Actor Tom Hardy may be currently starring in Paramount+’s new crime drama series, MobLand, but in 2017 he co-created and starred in the period drama Taboo. Although it was meant to have another season, it’s now been eight years since the series, which also starred Stephen Graham (Adolescence), Leo Bill, Jessie Buckley, Oona Chaplin, Mark Gatiss, Tom Hollander, and Jonathan Price, aired its last episode.

Hardy co-created Taboo with Steven Knight, who also created Peaky Blinders, and Hardy’s father, Edward “Chips” Hardy. Ridley Scott served as an executive producer. The series followed James Keziah Delaney (Hardy) as he returned to London during the War of 1812 in an effort to rebuild his late father’s shipping empire.

Why Has Taboo Season 2 Taken So Long?

Now, after eight long years, Hardy has confirmed that work on a second season of Taboo has begun. Per MovieWeb, Hardy discussed why it has taken so long between seasons.

For quite a while, Taylor Sheridan’s sprawling Western dramas and action series have reigned supreme over Paramount+ without being challenged by many other shows. However, Tom Hardy’s new gangland crime drama, MobLand, has given Sheridan a reason to look over his shoulder by landing a record-breaking debut on the platform.

MobLand is a stacked affair, with Hardy being ably accompanied by Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, while British director Guy Ritchie acts as executive producer. While reviews have been glowing for the new series, that is nothing compared to the news that the series’ debut has overtaken Taylor Sheridan’s Landman to claim the title of the most-watched series premiere in Paramount+ history.

Sheridan has been a completely dominant force on Paramount+, with Landman recently taking the record from another Sheridan creation, Tulsa King. Now the crown has slipped slightly, as MobLand opened its account with a mighty...

There are far too many TV shows to keep up with these days, but the new Paramount+ series "MobLand" might just be worth squeezing into your schedule. Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, the new show also benefits from Guy Ritchie's directorial flair and some incredibly sharp writing that's as witty and darkly funny as it is appropriately crass coming out of the mouths of some of London's most deranged gangsters.

Hardy plays professional conciliator for the Harrigan crime family, Harry Da Souza, who outside of his life as a mob lieutenant, is a family man who struggles with his work/life balance. One element of many that makes "Mobland" notable is its existence as a Tom Hardy project completely devoid of any weird Tom Hardy accents. Here, where he's not consumed by maintaining one of his "vocal silhouettes" as he calls them, he simply reminds us of his acting prowess,...

The State of the Race

One interesting thing about the Emmy race for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series this year is that none of the nominees from last year are eligible. Of course, that makes room for previously nominated actresses like “Yellowjackets” star Melanie Lynskey, “Bad Sisters” star Sharon Horgan, “The Last of Us” star Bella Ramsey, “The Diplomat” star Keri Russell,...

Ana de Armas has been a part of several action films, including the 2021 James Bond movie No Time to Die, The Gray Man, and the action comedy Ghosted. She is also set to make her debut in the John Wick world with her film as a leading star, Ballerina.

However, as exciting as the film was, de Armas revealed she would like a break from the action. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress noted she would "love" a switch to a different genre. She also shared an interest in the adaptation of Booktok sensationThe Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

As the interviewer noted that she is a fancasting favorite for the titular role in the long-awaited adaptation of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, the actress replied, "I've heard that."

The White Lotus Season 3 almost looked a lot different. A new report from THR, including a full interview with the cast, revealed that True Detective veteran Woody Harrelson almost starred in The White Lotus Season 3 in the role of Rick, who is portrayed by Walton Goggins. Harrelson's negotiations to play Rick fell through, which led to him signing on for the guest role of Frank, who is portrayed by Sam Rockwell. Harrelson ultimately had to back out of Rockwell’s role due to scheduling conflicts. This report comes days before The White Lotus Season 3 finale airs on Max, which is set to be the longest episode in show history at 90 minutes. The show has also continuously broken its own ratings records as one of the most popular shows on Max. You can read Harrelson's full comments below:

In recent years, Guy Ritchie has become one hell of a prolific filmmaker, and he’s set to add yet another project to his upcoming slate. According to Puck and World of Reel, Guy Ritchie is in talks to helm Road House 2 for Amazon MGM.

The Road House remake was a huge hit for Prime Video, attracting over 50 million global viewers in its first two weeks of release. Despite the mixed reviews, it was a no-brainer to get the ball rolling on a sequel. It’s clear why Doug Liman isn’t returning for the sequel, as the director was particularly vocal about his battles with Amazon over the company’s choice not to release the film in theaters.

Liman even decided to boycott Road House’s premiere at SXSW. “When Road House opens the SXSW film festival, I won’t be attending. The movie is fantastic, maybe my best,...

English film director Guy Ritchie is reportedly in talks to direct Road House 2 with Jake Gyllenhaal. An industry insider said a deal couldn't be reached in time for CinemaCon.

Industry insider Matthew Belloni recently shared the scoop on his newsletter, revealing Ritchie's reported involvement in Amazon/MGM's Road House sequel. "Amazon/MGM couldn’t close his deal in time for CinemaCon, but Guy Ritchie is in negotiations to direct Road House 2, with Jake Gyllenhaal returning and Will Beall writing," Belloni writes. "Amazon declined to comment, but if this one adheres to Amazon’s new theaters-first strategy, it might trigger a full-on stroke for Doug Liman, who directed the first one and went scorched earth on Amazon when he didn’t get a theatrical release."

Liman directed 2024's Road House remake film starring Gyllenhaal as the ex-UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer at...

Ronan Bennett who created the Critics Choice nominated series The Day of the Jackal, returns with a new crime boss drama where he teams with Guy Ritchie in MobLand. The Paramount+ series features one of the most impressive ensemble casts we have seen with Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Paddy Considine. After the series premiere on March 31st, we had the chance to catch up with Tom Hardy, Paddy Considine, Lara Pulver, Joanne Froggatt, and Mandeep Dhillon to talk about their roles on the show.

The Harrigans and Stevensons are two London crime families battling it out for power. In this epic kill-or-be-killed battle, Harry Da Souza, known as the “fixer,” is caught in the crosshairs of the battle.

Guy Ritchie seems to have delivered Paramount+ a certified hit with his latest series, MobLand.

The series premiered March 30 to 2.2 million viewers for the first episode, becoming the streamer’s biggest global series launch ever, per Paramount Global.

“MobLand is a runaway success thanks to the visionary work of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser and brought to life by the exceptional Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren who transport us into a world audiences clearly cannot get enough of,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Co-CEO and President and CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement. “MobLand is yet another proof point for the power of our differentiated model – fewer, bigger, breakthrough series that can cut through the clutter and also builds on our 2024 record success where we finished as the #2 SVOD for Original Series time spent viewing.”

It now joins 1923 and Landman as the top three launches in Paramount+ history.

Those looking to keep the party going after a chaotic week at CinemaCon should head to Paramount+. The studio is celebrating a significant milestone for Guy Ritchie’s MobLand. According to Paramount+, MobLand broke the record for the streamer’s biggest global series launch ever on its premiere day with 2.2M subscribers, generating 9.7M views. Ritchie’s episodic crime saga joins 1923 and Landman as part of the top three launches in Paramount+ history.

Here’s the official synopsis for MobLand courtesy of Paramount+:

“Power is up for grabs as the Harrigans and Stevensons, two warring London crime families, clash in a kill-or-be-killed battle that threatens to topple empires and ruin lives.

Paramount+ has another hit on its hands. Guy Ritchie and Tom Hardy's new mob series, MobLand, which is produced by Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, has just broken the record for the streamer's biggest global series launch ever.

The streamer has shared that MobLand delivered 2.2 million global views on premiere day, while generating 9.7 million total views on social. The series joins the Taylor Sheridan-created hits 1923 and Landman as the top three launches in Paramount+ history. The crime drama series premiered on the streamer this past Sunday (March 30) in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. With Paramount+ subscribers in Italy, Germany, France, Latin America, and Brazil not getting MobLand until May 30, this makes the show's global premiere viewership all the more impressive.

Originally developed as an offshoot of Showtime's hit crime drama series Ray Donovan, MobLand follows the Harrigans and Stevensons, two warring London crime families,...

Paramount+ has officially found its next global hit, it would seem. MobLand, the new crime drama helmed by Guy Ritchie, has shattered records to become the biggest global series premiere day in Paramount+ history, racking up an astonishing 2.2 million viewers worldwide on its first day. It now joins 1923 and Landmanas one of the most successful debuts on the platform to date, and puts Ritchie up alongside Taylor Sheridan in terms of rarefied air for the streaming platform. Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, MobLand is executive produced and directed by Ritchie in his first-ever television series for the streamer.

The series is created by Ronan Bennett (Top Boy) and co-written by Jez Butterworth, and takes viewers down into the grimy and volatile world of rival crime families caught in a deadly power struggle for control in the heart of London. The sprawling cast includes Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt,...

2025 looks to be another prolific year for Guy Ritchie, with “MobLand,” “The Fountain Of Youth” and (potentially) “In The Grey” all premiering this year. And don’t forget about “Wife & Dog” and Netflix‘s “The Gentlemen” Season 2, both in production now. But World of Reel and Puck confirm that Ritchie has yet another project to add to his queue, and it’s a surprise that, under close scrutiny, actually makes a lot of sense.

No matter the wordplay, the fact is that Paramount+’s MobLand broke a record as the streamer’s largest global series launch ever, amassing 2.2 million global viewers on premiere day (March 30).

MobLand thus joins 1923 and Landman as the Top 3 launches in Paramount+ history.

“MobLand” started off strong at Paramount+. The crime drama secured 2.2 million global viewers on its premiere day, according to internal streaming data from Paramount+, setting a launch day record for the streamer.

It now joins “1923” and “Landman” as the three biggest launches in the history of Paramount+. Additionally, the series generated 9.7 million total impressions on social media. The series has also been well-received by critics, securing a Certified Fresh score of 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series premiered on Paramount+ in U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia on March 30.

There are as many crime dramas in the world as there are Tom Hardy accents, and it sure does feel like the majority wind up on Paramount+ these days. With the likes of Landman, Tulsa King and Mayor Of Kingstown already pulling in subscribers, it's tempting to question the need for another macho series that operates in a similar vein, but MobLand has plenty going for it, not least another Tom Hardy accent to contend with.

Starting out as a prequel to Liev Schreiber's Ray Donovan, MobLand jumped the Pond mid-production to become an original London-set affair that takes a somewhat unique perspective on the usual tropes of gang warfare. Our window into this brutal world is Hardy's geezer fixer, who ruthlessly enforces his employers’ wants and needs by threatening, cajoling and killing anyone who gets in the way. But MobLand isn't all just glares and shoot-outs.

The “cooler” will return, as a hot new rumor finally offers an update on the highly anticipated action movie sequel, Road House 2. While Amazon did not release anything about the project during CinemaCon, a new report claims that none other than Snatch and The Gentlemen director Guy Ritchie is now in talks to helm the movie, taking over from the first outing's Doug Liman, with Will Beall penning the script. Coming courtesy of Puck News, this would see Ritchie reunite with both Prime Video and Road House star Jake Gyllenhaal following the 2023 war movie, The Covenant.

Released last year and directed by Doug Liman from a screenplay written by Anthony Bagarozzi (The Nice Guys) and Charles Mondry (Doc Savage), Road House stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Elwood Dalton alongside UFC champion fighter Conor McGregor, Billy Magnussen (The Many Saints of Newark), Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad), Gbemisola Ikumelo (A League of Their Own...

Acclaimed actor Pierce Brosnan hopes to shake, not stir, things up in the James Bond film series again if Amazon comes calling. The British star claims he "could get away with" a second stint as 007 amid a creative shift for the franchise.

Speaking on the Today show, Brosnan addressed the possibility of suiting up as Bond for a second run as the franchise's new producers see the next 007 after Daniel Craig's last turn as the suave secret agent in 2021's No Time to Die. Brosnan stated that if asked to return to the James Bond series, he would do so "in a pinch" as he still admires it. "Let’s see where the wind takes us. Let’s see what happens. They know where to find me," he said. "Why not?"

Brosnan expressed an openness to a Bond return last month, though he admitted to GQ that it would...

If you haven’t tuned in for Guy Ritchie‘s latest television endevor, I highly recommend giving the first episode of MobLand a try. The Paramount Plus series premiered on March 30th (read our review), and the sheer star power is stunning. As are the scripts and performances. Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Joanne Froggatt, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Anson Boon, and more star. It’s an impressively written series about two warring crime families, and I’m currently on episode 3. It’s marvellous stuff.

Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with some of the cast members about this terrific 9-episode series. First up, chatting with Pierce Brosnan and Anson Boon was a pleasure. The two discussed Richie’s influence on the series, and working with such an exceptionally strong group. Having spoken to Mr. Brosnan before, he worked really well with Mr. Boon. As for Anson, he is terrific...

The art of wearing well-tailored tuxedos, shaken martinis, and someway along the line, saving the world is where James Bond functions at his supreme best. The character has been embodied by a number of men over the years, one of them being Pierce Brosnan. The actor portrayed Bond four times between 1995-2002, taking up the role firstly in GoldenEye and finally in Die Another Day in 2002. In recent times, the British superspy has been portrayed by Daniel Craig, with the character's future up in the air recently. Brosnan has shared an optimistic outlook about Amazon and James Bond now that the creative control of the franchise has been taken from the Broccoli family.

The future of James Bond lies in the hands of Amazon now, after purchasing Bond distributor MGM in 2022, and Brosnan shares his thoughts on what comes next. Brosnan's latest project is the Paramount+ series, MobLand, and in...

German filmmaker Uwe Boll has changed the name of his upcoming Armie Hammer crime thriller “The Dark Knight” to “Citizen Vigilante” after hearing from both Warner Bros. and Batman fans alike.

Based on an original script by Boll, the film stars Hammer as Sanders, a man who takes justice into his own hands and sets out to hunt down criminals. His vigilante crusade turns him into a social media sensation and a hero in the eyes of the public. Variety has reached out to Warner Bros. for comment about the title change.

“We had a very friendly conversation with Warner Bros. and decided to change our title to ‘Citizen Vigilante’ to avoid any confusion with Warners’ famous character,” Boll told Variety.

“We also got a lot of feedback from fans, who asked us to change the title because of its similarity with Chris Nolan’s movie, so this was another factor in changing the title,...

Having firmly entered his prolific era, director Guy Ritchie is giving Steven Soderbergh a run for his money. The filmmaker's latest project, the crime drama series MobLand, debuted recently on the Paramount+ streaming service to mostly positive reviews. The star-studded show is headlined by Tom Hardy, with Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren in supporting roles. MobLand sounds like a show that could cut across demographics and perhaps diversify the Paramount+ slate, which is currently dominated by Taylor Sheridan projects. But while the streamer's best-performing shows remain popular among fans, it seems like MobLand still has some work to do on this front.

The show currently holds a "certified fresh" 78% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, but its audience score stands at a considerably lower 65%. Rotten Tomatoes' consensus for MobLand reads, "Tom Hardy's gruff charisma is put to good use in MobLand, a gangster saga that hardly reinvents the...

What happens when you combine the eccentric and adventurous charm of Indiana Jones with the star power of John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, along with Guy Ritchie’s high-octane direction? You get Fountain of Youth.

From the trailer, it seems to be a globetrotting adventure film where we’ll witness a bit of action, mythology, and sibling rivalry. But there’s one thing that I hate about it, even before its release, and I have a feeling that I’m not the only one with this opinion.

Natalie Portman and John Krasinski in Fountain of Youth | Apple Studios Why Fountain of Youth might disappoint

Fountain of Youth seems to be an all-in-one thriller package. It has knife fights, cryptic clues, ancient ruins, and a quest for immortality. But here’s the catch — the movie is heading straight to Apple TV+ instead of theaters, and that’s what I hate most about it.

In the annals of movie history, there has been no shortage of history-loving dudes lusting after mythic treasure with their pals. Milo Thatch, Benjamin Franklin Gates, Rick O'Connell, Nathan Drake, Indiana Jones of course... you get the idea. And if Guy Ritchie has any say in the matter, then his new Apple TV+ joint Fountain Of Youth may be about to add a new name to that feted list: Luke Purdue. Played by Office man turned action man John Krasinski, Purdue is on the hunt for — you guessed it! — the mythological Fountain of Youth in Ritchie's latest, and he's teaming up with his estranged sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman) as well as Domhnall Gleeson and Carmen Ejogo to trot the globe looking for it. Check out the trailer below:

Originally set to be directed by Ghosted helmsman Dexter Fletcher, Fountain Of Youth certainly looks to be a change of pace...
