Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed try to save the world with improv in the trailer for the action-comedy movie Deep Cover.

Director Tom Kingsley’s feature is set to begin streaming via Amazon Prime Video on June 12. Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, Ian McShane and Sean Bean round out the cast.

Deep Cover centers on Kat (Howard), an improv teacher recruited by an undercover cop (Bean) to enlist two of her students (Bloom and Mohammed) to impersonate criminals as they try to stop crime in London.

“You were so good,” Bloom assures Mohammed during a tense moment. “You committed. It was inspiring.”

Later, Howard scolds Bloom by saying, “I told you not to escalate.” He replies, “It’s where the scene went.”

Kingsley (Doctor Who) helmed the film from a script credited to Derek Connolly, Colin Trevorrow, Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen. Trevorrow, Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald serve as producers.

Ah, the heady days of Hollywood in the ‘80s and ‘90s, when big hair was practically a character of its own and leather jackets were more common than a cup of coffee on set. Back then, Joanne Whalley charmed us with her spellbinding performances in films like Willow and Scandal. But as every cloud has a silver lining, there’s more to her story than meets the eye.

So, have you ever wondered how a queen of cinema juggles the demands of Hollywood, motherhood, and fortune-building? Well, Whalley is not simply a relic of bygone years; she’s a savvy individual who transformed her on-screen achievements into a lasting financial legacy. Not only was she the muse in the romance with Val Kilmer, but she worked hard on her destiny with intelligence and tenacity.

From Mrs. Voorhees and Graboids to Maxine Minx and The Toxic Avenger, Kevin Bacon has faced many formidable foes on screen, but he’s never had a role quite like “The Bondsman.”

He stars as Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter who’s resurrected by the Devil to send back demons that have escaped from Hell. With the help of Jennifer Nettles as his estranged wife, Maxwell Jenkins as their son, Beth Grant as his mother, and Jolene Purdy as Hell’s emissary, Hub pursues a second chance at life.

“Because I always come to things from an acting standpoint, it really has to be about the character,” says Bacon.

“Are these people that we can relate to? These people don’t have superpowers. These are regular people who are trying to live their lives. But all of a sudden, there’s this extraordinary situation that they’re thrown into.

In the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "The Offspring", the android Data (Brent Spiner) has decided that he would like to be a father. Using his own android body as a template, he builds an android child in a positronic lab, naming the new being Lal. At first, Lal (Leonard Crofoot) is a somewhat shapeless being with sharp, metallic features. Data feels that Lal should be able to choose their own gender and appearance. Lal decides to be a young woman (Hallie Todd). The bulk of the episode involves Data, with his own limited understand of human interaction, teaching Lal everything he knows.

Be it a matter of chemistry or being just plain wrong for a role that initially felt like a perfect fit, actors can find themselves jettisoned even after the pilot is finished. "Gilligan's Island" had some casting slip-ups before bringing together an ensemble for the ages. On a decidedly more serious (and pricey) note, there's "Game of Thrones," the pilot for which went so incredibly sideways they had to reshoot the whole thing and recast one of the most pivotal roles.

The big loser here was Tamzin Merchant, a then up-and-coming young actor who'd landed what she thought...

With this in mind, one would assume that the series was very cautious about the changes it chose to make from the book to the screen, trying to make it as minimal as possible. However, it would seem that they were more than comfortable taking a few liberties here and there, even in the very first episode of the series.

There is no better example of this than the story of the two pilots and how Daenerys...
