The Illegal, a film that recently premiered on Amazon Prime Video starring Suraj Sharma, Adil Hussain and Shweta Tripathi among others, is a gritty and realistic tale of a young film school student from middle-class India who is forced to drop out to support his family while staying in the United States as an undocumented worker.
According to the 'Life of Pi' actor, Suraj Sharma, the film's story was a lot similar to his personal life experiences. He shares, "During my time in America, I used to go to all these Indian restaurants for my 'Ghar Ka Khaana', where I came across all these Indian people and their back stories, which gave me a very sharp and clear insight of their life. Over the course of years, I realized what intense backgrounds they come from, how they are pushing themselves to provide for their families and fulfill their goals.

(Warning: This post contains major spoilers for the “You” Season 2 finale.)
Whether you want to admit it or not, Forty Quinn was doomed to die from the start of “You” Season 2. Because, well, that’s what co-creator Sera Gamble and her writers decided would happen. Even though the pain of his tragic demise will probably haunt you longer than Beck’s ghost followed Joe (Penn Badgley) around, actor James Scully made peace with his character’s death long ago — when he first signed on to the show, actually.
“They were about as lovely with me as people can be with an actor and I knew going into the second season where I was headed,” Scully told TheWrap. “They still called me before they put out the script to be like, ‘Hey, this is happening. It’s not cause we don’t love you.’ But I appreciated it because I feel...

Netflix has an after-Christmas present for fans of the Penn Badgley drama You. Season 2 of the former Lifetime series will premiere on December 26, exclusively on the streaming service. Check out the new key art below.
You follows bookstore manager Joe Goldberg (Badgley). In the freshman season, which was based on Caroline Kepnes’ bestselling novel and aired on Lifetime, Goldberg becomes obsessed with his customer Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), using social media and the Internet to stalk her.
The show’s sophomore run is based loosely on the author’s second book in the series, titled Hidden Bodies, and will stream under the Netflix Originals banner. It will follow Goldberg to Los Angeles, where he meets Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), an aspiring chef that isn’t into social media like his previous leading lady.

Penn Badgley is back as Joe in the second season of You, which will be available on Netflix starting December 26th.
You, the Lifetime adaptation of Caroline Kepnes' bestselling book about a young man named Joe who starts stalking and manipulating the woman of his dreams into falling in love with him, has officially moved to Netflix for its second season.
The collaboration from Greg Berlanti and The Magicians' Sera Gamble has already found a broader audience on the streaming service giant. The show is a brilliant subversion of the "Nice Guy" trope with a charismatic cast that included Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail, and Shay Mitchell in Season 1.
You Season 2 will pick up following the horrific events of the Season 1 finale, with Joe—seemingly now going by Will—moving to Los Angeles from New York City to terrorize a new city with his machinations.

Bravest Warriors: Tales from the Holo John #1
Written by John Omohundro, Kat Leyh, Ryan Ferrier, Paul Allor, Mad Rupert

Colors by Whitney Cogar, Kat Leyh, Jeremy Lawson, Adam Del Re

One of the mainstays of the Bravest Warriors comics and cartoons is the Holo-John. It’s a private room in the Bravest Warriors’ hideout where you can enjoy a fun simulation of your choosing while going to the bathroom. It’s like the Holodeck in Star Trek: Tng‘s immature, yet creative cousin. Bravest Warriors: Tales from the Holo John is a special one-shot set entirely in this wonderful little room and shows its storytelling potential. The stories have their funny moments, bizarre bits (I will never unsee Mad Rupert’s drawing of Wallow in his undies.), and the best ones...

Mix The Running Man , $lasher$ and Gamer and it sounds like you've got Elimination from visual FX vet Juan Carlos Vargas. The thriller, from UFO International Productions, follows ten actors who audition for a reality show that will score them a million dollars. All they have to do is survive three killers, and each other. The whole thing is streamed live over the Internet. Danny Vasquez ( The Last Resort ), Nicole Warner, Meredith Grau and Daniel Fanaberia star. Vargas has worked on the FX team for productions like Shoot 'Em Up and Freddy vs. Jason . He also helmed the short film Man vs. Woman about a man, a woman, a cloned velociraptor and a heavily armed robot fighting for survival. Weird.
