James McAvoy has been all the rage lately thanks to his role as Paddy in Speak No Evil. Honestly, an antagonist has never looked better! A couple more projects starring the actor are on the way and we cannot wait to see him put his talent on full display again. Having played an array of unique characters, James McAvoy is a force to reckon with. However, there is one fictional man fans would love to see him play – James Bond.

In June, Cats: The Jellicle Ball seemed to shake Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats like a bottle of champagne, joyfully letting the old, vexatious material burst out on the stage at the Perelman Arts Center with glittery effervescence. Now, returning to Broadway in a stripped-down West End transfer, the heavy bones of Sunset Boulevard—Webber’s ponderous music, Don Black and Christopher Hampton’s repetitive lyrics, the general plodding approach to Billy Wilder’s 1950 film—drag behind director Jamie Lloyd’s austere vision like a body bag.
Lloyd’s ethos is all about turning the audience toward the text and performance, sharpening the listener’s ear by stripping away all the trappings of traditional productions, including, most of the time, eye contact between actors. That worked splendidly for his Cyrano de Bergerac at Bam two years ago with James McAvoy, as Edmond Rostand’s play is about the power of language itself.

When Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stage adaptation of the 1950 Billy Wilder film Sunset Boulevard premiered in London in 1993 and on Broadway the following year, it was arguably the last gasp of the ‘80s megamusical aesthetic — at least until shows like The Lion King and Wicked came along to tweak the formula. The success of blockbusters like Cats, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon was driven as much by their large-scale spectacle as their musical craftsmanship. Probably more.
Audiences flocked to Cats for its then-revolutionary immersive junkyard staging and the climactic ascent to the heavens of faded feline Grizabella on an outsized tire. In Les Mis, it was the massive turntable and the big reveal of the Paris Uprising barricade. Phantom brought a huge chandelier crashing down on the stage and Miss Saigon flew in a helicopter to evacuate the last Americans at the end of the Vietnam War.

Smile 2 star Naomi Scott has added her name to the growing list of recent genre performances that deserve(d) awards consideration. From James McAvoy (Split) and Toni Collette (Hereditary) to Lupita Nyong’o (Us) and Mia Goth (Pearl), Scott is the latest example of an actor whose committed work in a highly difficult role shouldn’t be overlooked just because of the genre in which it resides. It’s well past time to have more than a half-dozen exceptions who managed to take home Oscar statuettes via the horror genre, such as Ruth Gordon (Rosemary’s Baby), Kathy Bates (Misery) and Jodie Foster (Silence of the Lambs).
In Parker Finn’s sequel to his 2022 smash hit, Scott plays Skye Riley, a troubled pop star who’s attempting to mount a comeback after surviving a car accident that took the life of her equally famous boyfriend, Paul Hudson (Ray Nicholson). Skye’s return...

James Watkins’ ‘Speak No Evil’ (2024) dismisses the nihilistic ending of its original Danish counterpart. Starring James McAvoy, the story follows a couple drawn into an idyllic estate by a happy-go-lucky couple. Only that they are not really the happy-go-lucky couple as they would like you to believe. Here, the law remains excluded and poetic justice reigns supreme. Each claimant of the narrative–whether American or Danish–offers its own explanation and resolution for the human degradation we stand to witness. And, yet, none is dispossessed of legitimacy. This article explores the ending that the American film offers and how it deviates from the original one.

Lauren Lavera is currently starring in Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3, but she actually got her start as Anya Taylor-Joy’s body double in Split. The M. Night Shyamalan thriller was Lavera’s first experience as a background artist after the director spotted her on set.
“One day, M. Night passed me and we connected eyes. My mom was with me on set that day and she was like, ‘Oh, that was weird. Did he recognize you?’ And I was like, ‘I’ve never met him before in my life,’” Lavera told THR. “And the day after, I got a call from the casting director asking me if I could be the double for Anya. So I wondered if he saw some resemblance between Anya and I in that moment the day before. We both had darker hair, and we were probably closer in physical appearance at that time.“

Saoirse Ronan's career is going pretty spectacularly well — but she still can't quite get over the fact that she lost out on the role of Luna Lovegood in the "Harry Potter" movies.
During a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel to promote her upcoming film "The Outrun" — which marks the Oscar-nominee's first credit as a producer alongside her husband, actor Jack Lowdon — Ronan revealed that she auditioned for the "Harry Potter" character who makes her debut in the fifth book and film, "Order of the Phoenix." (The role ultimately went to then unknown actor Evanna Lynch.)
"There's things that you'll pass on and then they come out, and you think, 'Oh God, that was a misstep on my part,'" Ronan told Kimmel. "But I think the one that stayed with me over the years — I didn't say no to it, I just didn't get the part.

As we all know, the Mutants are on their way to the MCU, a fact that’s been anticipated ever since Disney acquired Fox. While some Mutants have already made appearances in the MCU, the iconic X-Men team has yet to arrive.
Although it might be a while before they officially join the universe, Marvel has promised a major introduction in the future.
Naturally, fans are most curious about who will portray their favorite characters, as the X-Men are expected to play a crucial role in the MCU. While the return of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart seems more or less confirmed, there are still questions about the rest of the cast.
Specifically, while Patrick Stewart is rumored to reprise his role as an older Professor X, fans are wondering if James McAvoy, who portrayed the younger version in the earlier films, will return. However, McAvoy seems undecided about making a comeback!

Of course, what interests fans the most is who is going to be playing their favorite characters as the X-Men will certainly become an integral part of the MCU. And while the return of Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart has more or less been confirmed, the fans are still wondering about the others.

What was once expected to be one of the biggest movies of October instead became the first major disasters of the month, as well as potentially the biggest bombs of the year. Read on for the weekend box office report.
Although Warner Bros. debuted Todd Phillips‘ anticipated sequel “Joker: Folie à Deux” – once again starring Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck aka the Joker – at the prestigious Venice Film Festival in September, it didn’t quite find the critical acclaim or box office success as its 2019 predecessor. That’s even with the addition of the one and only Lady Gaga (another Oscar winner) taking on the role of Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie in three previous DC features.
The reviews for “Joker” weren’t that bad coming out of Venice. Early this past week, it was still at 60% on Rotten Tomatoes, but then the American reviews started flooding in,...

Todd Phillips’ musical drama sequel earned muted reviews straight out of the gate at its world premiere in Venice one month ago and carries a D CinemaScore, the lowest for a superhero film. Even last year’s much-maligned The Marvels from Marvel Studios scored a “B” and opened on $46.1m.

“Speak No Evil” is an intriguing horror film directed by James Watkins, featuring a talented cast including James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy, and Aisling Franciosi. This film is a remake of the Danish movie “Speak No Evil,” which garnered significant attention a few years ago. Blumhouse, renowned for its expertise in producing remakes, has brought us “Speak No Evil.” While it retains the essence of the original, it elevates the production quality and introduces numerous changes that make it a distinct entity, though both films are commendable for their respective virtues.
The film “Speak No Evil” begins with an ambitious premise: to strip away the narrative chaos that characterized the original—its most significant virtue—and infuse the story with a Hollywood flair while maintaining its core of extreme cruelty and brutality. How can one alter the essence of a script while essentially narrating the same story? The answer lies in the execution.

A Zurich Summit panel of Hollywood reps and producers offered “the next generation” their insights on how to get ahead in the business.
The lineup consisted of former Netflix and Universal exec David Kosse, now an independent producer; Jason Sloane, Partner at blue chip law firm Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern; Theresa Peters, Partner UTA; Dawn Olmstead, former Anonymous Content CEO and current CEO at Secret Menu; and Marc Mounier, Manager and producer at Entertainment 360.
Peters, who reps talent including Kirsten Dunst and James McAvoy, said: “We often ask whether we’d encourage someone to go into agency business today, because it’s very different than when I started. I always say yes, because I love my job, and am fortunate to have my job, and I’m still motivated every single day. It’s certainly a little bit different, but one of the things that is constant, is passion.

If horror was an art form, Terrifier 3 might just be the work of Michelangelo. October, like every year, brings with it the season of Halloween and fright nights. Hollywood opens its floor to more scary movies and Scream sequels. And like clockwork, fans flock to the theaters to have their fair share of jump scares before all the pumpkin decorations begin to go down.

But for a genre that always delivers no matter how many sequels one may make, it can often feel a bit oversaturated or overdone. After all, there are only so many ways a guy in a mask can come at you with an axe before it starts to get predictive. Although there can be no dissing the original legends like John Carpenter and Stephen King, some modern auteurs like Mike Flanagan and Ari Aster have found a way around that problem.

Mercedes Bryce Morgan is honing her skillset as a psychosexual horror filmmaker, first with Shudder’s Spoonful of Sugar, and now with the festival title Bone Lake. Her second collaboration with actress Maddie Hasson follows in the footsteps of rental thrillers like The Rental or Superhost, except with a horned-up twist. Fidelity and fairy tales are tested in a game of sensual wits as writer Joshua Friedlander explores what would happen if Cupid scripted Speak No Evil. An awkward social scenario requires some suspended belief upon arrival, but as players begin breaking normalized behavioral rules, Bone Lake becomes a scintillating competition filled with dangerous temptations.
Aspiring author Diego (Marco Pigossi) and his supportive journalist girlfriend Sage (Maddie Hasson) rent a lavish estate for a much-needed lover’s getaway.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoiler-filled discussions about the Joker: Folie à Deux climax
Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker: Folie à Deux has been very divisive among the DC fan base. The film promised a visual spectacle that continues Arthur Fleck’s story from the first film, adding Lady Gaga to the cast as Harley Quinn. However, not all DC fans could agree to the climax of the film, which apparently introduces a new Joker to the mix.

Whether that sounds brilliant or dumb depends on how you took the message of Todd Phillips’ first film. As expected, Joker 2 is more like a courtroom drama, where Fleck’s attorney tries to prove that the crimes of Phoenix’s character in the first film were committed by this other personality called “Joker”.

Paddy (James McAvoy) in Speak No Evil, directed by James Watkins. Pohoto Credit: Susie Allnutt/Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Copyright © Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved. To call Speak No Evil merely a horror movie would be doing it a great disservice, if you ask one of its stars, James McAvoy. While it may have plenty of chilling moments and a face-off between good and evil, McAvoy says, there’s so much more to it. As he told us, the film’s script and characters also offer up some fascinating — and sometimes scathing — commentary about modern life. (Click on the media bar below to hear James McAvoy) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/James_McAvoy_Themes_Speak_no_Evil_.mp3 Speak No Evil is now playing in theaters.

Those looking to enjoy the rare sight of an American horror remake that actually works for once (and marvel at James McAvoy's arms) in the comfort of their own home will soon be able to watch "Speak No Evil" on digital, Blu-ray, and DVD.
When Blumhouse and Universal announced they were working on a U.S. version of what is arguably the most disturbing Danish film ever made, many of us had questions. "Speak No Evil" was not only a deeply upsetting horror movie, it was also a scathing indictment of Danish social norms that dictated a relentless positivity and politeness at all costs. How was the remake going to translate this central idea for the remake? Why, when "Speak No Evil" was already one of the most effective horror movies made in recent years, did we need a remake — especially when IFC Films and Shudder already released the film in the states?...

September ended with quite a number of new wide releases, but only one new movie stood out above all the rest. Read on for the weekend box office report.
DreamWorks Animation’s latest, “The Wild Robot,” featuring the voices of Lupita Nyong’o and Pedro Pascal, was always set to open big with Universal releasing the movie into 3,962 theaters after it received some of the best reviews of the year. By Thursday, it had racked up a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it brought in just under $2 million in early previews, which were rolled into the movie’s $11.3 million Friday. Universal estimates its latest animated movie to open with $35 million, averaging $8,834, which is better than projections and better than last week’s animated “Transformers One.” It also received an “A” on CinemaScore from audiences that went to see it, so it should have decent legs going into October.
