Tom Cruise is the biggest movie star in Hollywood (Photo Credit – Facebook)
Tom Cruise is still Hollywood’s ultimate blockbuster machine, and at 61, he’s proving that age is just a number. Whether pulling off wild bike stunts in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning or going all-in on action sequences with zero safety net, Cruise reminds everyone why he’s the biggest movie star. In a world where CGI dominates, Cruise keeps it old school—willing to risk it all for the real deal. But getting here wasn’t always a smooth ride.
After a five-year break, Cruise came roaring back. Between Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Top Gun: Maverick, he faced personal drama and a few flops. Most stars would’ve disappeared into the background. Not Cruise. He returned with a bang, mingling with the aristocracy and preparing for his biggest hit to date at Cannes. In addition to exceeding forecasts,...

Screenwriter Peter Craig, who co-wrote the upcoming Gladiator II, and producer Bryan Unkeless, known for such fare as I, Tonya and Project Power, have teamed up to launch film and television production banner Night Owl.
It’s no small flex to launch a shingle in the current Hollywood climate, but the two players have extremely enviable track records and, more importantly, come with several projects already zipping along the development tracks.
There’s the adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s wildly popular novel Remarkably Bright Creatures, which is set up at Netflix with Where the Crawdads Sing filmmaker Olivia Newman attached to direct and Sally Field attached to star. (Fun fact: Craig is Field’s son.)
There’s Tropical Underworld, a crime drama series set in Hawaii and based on a Bloomberg article written by Chris Pomorski. The project sold in a competitive bidding war to Fifth Season, which beat out such companies as A24,...

Welcome to Oscar Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Oscar race — via Slack, of course. This week, we discuss the wide open Best Director race, where only two people feel somewhat secure.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! Our weekly conversations have finally landed on what might be my favorite category of this entire race: Best Director. To be honest, I’m terribly vexed about the whole field — and not just because we got to see “Gladiator II” aka “Glad II ator” on Monday. Before we get to this year’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” let’s start at the top: According to the odds and most experts, “Anora” director Sean Baker and “The Brutalist” filmmaker Brady Corbet are the most likely to receive nominations in this category next year.

October 25 began with new music from Lady Gaga. She released her new song, “Disease,” the lead single from her next album, due in 2025. Watch the lyric video above.
Gaga hasn’t released a studio album of entirely new material since 2020’s platinum record “Chromatica,” which produced the number-one, Grammy-winning single “Rain on Me,” her duet with Ariana Grande. But fans have gotten their Gaga fix many times in-between albums. Since “Chromatica” she has had starring roles in the films “House of Gucci” (2021) and “Joker: Folie a Deux” (2024), and she even released a “Joker” companion album titled “Harlequin,” which includes mostly covers. She recorded the 2022 love ballad “Hold My Hand” for the blockbuster film “Top Gun: Maverick.” And this past August she came out with the single “Die with a Smile,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars that has been a fixture in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

Jack Quaid stole our hearts away as the very lovable yet sometimes infuriating Hughie Campbell in The Boys. Time and again, he has established himself as an extremely capable actor. After all, he is half Dennis Quaid and half Meg Ryan! Speaking of the rom-com queen, almost a decade ago, the actress took a break from Hollywood to focus on herself and develop herself as a human being.

Glen Powell is aptly one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today. While his debut came way back in Spy Kids in 2003, the 35-year-old has seen multiple successful roles come his way in the last few years. Now looking forward to the release of Twisters, Powell has appeared in movies such as Anyone But You and Top Gun: Maverick, and generally finds himself in high demand.
However, that did not seem true to the actor when during his years of struggle. Powell went to his fair share of failed auditions but has never been the kind of person who would take things negatively. The actor has been utterly professional right from the start, and spent years getting rejected for a plethora of major roles.

Are you wondering why people still talk about Meghan Markle and the red Carolina Herrera dress? She has worn the dress twice, with alterations for the second time. She attended the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala in the dress, which is tacky, inappropriate, and an eyesore.
Meghan Markle First Wore The Dress At The Salute To Freedom Gala
Meghan Markle first wore the dress at a Salute to Freedom gala in November 2021. Back then, the dress had a long train, which she removed in favor of a long slit in the front and figure-hugging silhouette.
On both occasions, the dress was hideous and poorly fitted. Frankly, it should have been burned after the first wear.
The new alteration of the dress was still incredibly offensive. She recycled the dress and went to the Chla charity event, looking tasteless and unkempt. The dress’s construction was extremely awkward, and the ensemble was simply unflattering.

Tom Cruise’s highest-grossing film happened only because the director was able to convey the emotional core of the film to the actor in 20 minutes. When Joe Kosinski approached Cruise for Top Gun: Maverick, he knew that a sequel wouldn’t be at the top of the mind for the Mission: Impossible actor. However, Kosinski’s pitch impressed Cruise, who immediately greenlit the film.

Top Gun: Maverick, a sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun, was in development hell for years. Cruise dismissed the idea of a sequel in the ’90s itself. Tony Scott, the original director, was attached to the project in 2010, as development began at Paramount Pictures. However, Scott’s death in 2012 put the sequel in uncertainty for a long time before Kosinski took it up in 2017.

Tom Cruise was almost not cast in Top Gun due to his height ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Top Gun without the Tom Cruise swagger? Hard to imagine, right? But believe it or not, the Hollywood action star was almost grounded because of his height! Standing at about 5 foot 7 inches, Cruise had to rely on some sneaky tricks to secure his spot as the iconic Maverick. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of Tom Cruise’s height hacks and how they almost cost him the role of a lifetime.
In the mid-80s, when Top Gun was getting off the ground, Cruise faced a height dilemma larger than life. His co-star, Kelly McGillis, stood just shy of six feet tall, towering over Cruise on set. To avoid looking like the underdog next to McGillis, Cruise reportedly wore shoe lifts to give him a boost—yes, like a secret weapon tucked inside his boots!

Miles Teller is paying tribute to Chuck Coleman, the Top Gun: Maverick aerobatics flight instructor.
The actor took to social media to remember the late pilot who was killed in a plane crash at Las Cruces International Airport.
“Rip Chuck Coleman. Chuck was our aerobatics flight instructor and instrumental in our preparation for Top Gun: Maverick,” Teller shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter. “He was an aerospace engineer, air show and test pilot, and our friend and ally.”
He continued, “Chuck had a very easy going way about him and we always felt comfortable with his expertise at our disposal. He was kind, humble and curious about others and the world we live in. Gone too soon but his contributions will live on forever. Thanks for the memories, Chuck.”

Justin Marks has struck a new overall deal with FX that will see the “Shōgun” creator develop new content for the network, as well as two additional seasons of the Emmy Award-winning drama with co-creator and wife Rachel Kondo.
The series broke the record for most Emmy wins in a single season with a total of 18, including Outstanding Drama. It was also the first foreign language series – and FX’s first – to win for best drama series. Other wins for the show included lead actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai — the first Japanese actor and actress of Asian descent to win in their respective categories.

Since his star-making role in Ari Aster’s Hereditary, Alex Wolff has crafted a remarkably entertaining filmography, with almost a dozen excellent, challenging performances from Pig to Oppenheimer under his belt before he turned 27. Ethan Berger’s directorial debut, The Line, puts Wolff in another great, albeit understated, role with his look at life in a fraternity.
The Line Review
Tom (Alex Wolff) has fully adopted the persona of a traditional frat guy at an unnamed Alabama university. He’s a reticent frat brother who follows whatever his brothers want of him. As a new rush class comes in, he’s torn between his moral compass as his fellow brothers (Top Gun: Maverick’s Lewis Pullman and Bo Mitchell) aggressively haze an incoming pledge (Austin Abrams).
When tensions rise surrounding the abuse that the potential new frat brothers are facing, Tom meets a confident peer (Halle Bailey) who begins to shift his worldview.

Top Gun is one of Hollywood’s finest projects to date and Tom Cruise certainly did a phenomenal job playing the character Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a U.S. Navy Naval Aviator Lieutenant. The 1986 release was more than just a movie based on what goes on in the Navy and it certainly wasn’t a warmonger type of storyline.

A lot went into Cruise’s rehearsal before taking on the role and some actors put themselves in character by directly approaching situations the stories are based on. There’s a lot of understanding and empathizing involved when it comes to taking up characters that portray a larger-than-life role. Cruise had an interesting approach that not many of us would’ve done if we were in the industry.

Josh Brolin is in final negotiations to play the villain role in Edgar Wright’s “The Running Man” at Paramount, the actor said in an interview at New York Comic Con on Thursday.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King and stars “Top Gun: Maverick” breakout Glen Powell.
Wright is attached to direct and co-write the story with his “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” collaborator Michael Bacall, who wrote the script. Daniel Ezra and Katy O’Brian also recently joined the cast.
As TheWrap first reported, Powell will take the role filled by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 film based on King’s novel set in a dystopian future Los Angeles, where a framed police helicopter pilot is forced into a violent game show where convicts are hunted down by assassins with the promise of a pardon if they survive.

Is there room at the best picture table for more than one “part two?”
This year, several installments in established franchises are banging on the Academy’s door, hoping for a coveted slot in the category. With no clear frontrunner, this could be the season that more than one sequel secures a place in the race. That has happened only once, in 2022 (“Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Top Gun: Maverick”).
The Oscars have long hesitated to embrace anything with a Roman numeral affixed to it. Historically, only nine sequels have been nominated for best picture: “The Bells of St. Mary’s” (1945), “The Godfather Part II” (1974), “The Godfather Part III” (1990), “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” (2002), “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2003), “Toy Story 3” (2010), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), “Avatar: The Way of Water” (2022) and “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022). Just two — “Godfather 2” and “Return of the King” — won.

The motion picture academy made it a little easier in 2021 to predict the winners by combining Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing into one category: Best Sound. Both sound mixers and sound editors are recognized in the combined category. Up to six statuettes will be awarded to one production sound mixer, two supervising sound editors and three re-recording mixers. The inaugural winner of Best Sound was, appropriately enough “Sound of Metal.” In 2022 this prize went to “Dune” while “Top Gun: Maverick” won in 2023. The reigning champ is “The Zone of Interest.” (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Sound.)
The sound branch determines the nominees in two stages. First, members of the branch cast preferential ballots with the top 10 vote-getters, announced on December 17, moving on to the second stage.

The executives that comprise the “Office of the CEO” at Paramount Global are getting a sweetened deal to stick around during the limbo ahead of the company’s merger with Skydance Media, which isn’t expected to close until sometime in the first half of 2025.
That Paramount co-ceo trio — George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins — were earlier granted a 2X multiple of their unspecified annual salary, as well as other benefits. Now the company, in a securities filing disclosed on Tuesday, says that pay increase will continue to apply during duration of employment at the company, even if the executives are no longer part of the “Office of the CEO.”
The new securities filing also detailed that the trio also received extra stock and a bonus of Restricted Share Units with a grant value of $3 million.

Up to this point, not much has been known about The Gorge, the latest film from Sinister, The Black Phone, and Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson. Announced two years ago, it’s an Apple Original Film coming our way from Skydance Productions and has Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa) and Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) in the lead roles – and today, IGN has revealed some information about the film, which will be released through Apple TV+ sometime in 2025. Along with the info comes the unveiling of some first look images and a poster, which can now be seen in this article.
Based on a spec script by Zach Dean, The Gorge is said to be a high-action, genre-bending love story. We previously heard that it centers on two soldiers (Taylor-Joy and Teller) who are tasked with guarding a seemingly never-ending gorge with one agent posted on either side.

Actor Ed Harris is known for his incredible performances in not just serious drama films like Pollock, The Hours, and The Truman Show, but has also fared well in blockbusters like The Rock, Top Gun: Maverick, and A History of Violence. The actor has been nominated for the Oscars four times and his work on Westworld got him an Emmy nomination too.
While Harris has never shied away from experimenting with different kinds of films, he truly felt that his life had ended when he worked on James Cameron’s The Abyss. Reportedly 40% of the film was shot underwater, and one instance while filming reportedly led to Harris having a near-death experience.

Tom Cruise’s affiliation with Scientology has raised numerous headlines over the years. Ever since the Church has come under intense public scrutiny for its controversies, Cruise’s association with the organization has been criticized by many fans.

Before the premiere of "The Acolyte" earlier this year, many people wouldn't have recognized the name Manny Jacinto. Born in the Philippines and raised in Canada, the Filipino actor had very few roles to his name, though he had garnered a burgeoning fanbase for his work on "The Good Place." But once you enter a galaxy far, far away, it's hard not to become quickly recognizable. In his surprising dual role as both Qimir and the mysterious Stranger, Jacinto solidified himself as one of the most promising young stars working in Hollywood. Nobody could get enough of his steely looks and toned physique, which made it all the more tragic when "The Acolyte" was canceled after only one season.
Don't worry! Jacinto has surely secured future work for himself –- it's not often you get two breakout roles in one career –- but those looking for more from this multifaceted...

Samson: A Savior Will Rise is an upcoming World War II Holocaust film based on true events, bringing to the screen an inspiring and harrowing tale of faith and survival. The film, adapted from the award-winning novel and screenplay, explores a unique and powerful story set against the backdrop of Auschwitz, one of history’s most brutal concentration camps.
A Story of Courage Amidst Atrocity
The story centers around Samson, a Jewish American middleweight Olympic boxer imprisoned at Auschwitz, where Jewish men were forced to participate in boxing matches for the entertainment of Nazi officials. These matches were no ordinary boxing events—losing meant death in the gas chambers, while winning guaranteed an extra ration of food. However, when the camp’s notorious leaders, including Commandant Rudolf Höss and the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele (the “Angel of Death”), discover that they have an Olympic boxer among the prisoners, the stakes are raised.

Tom Cruise starred in numerous blockbuster films throughout his career. While he has delivered exceptional performances, the action star has notably done only two sequels outside of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Top Gun: Maverick and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.

While Maverick turned out to be a massive hit, renewing the action film series with the 2022 sequel, the same could not be said about the latter. After Christopher McQuarrie’s 2012 film, Edward Zwick took over the sequel, which ultimately fell short of expectations.
The filmmaker later reflected on the movie’s failure in his book, admitting that his attempt to put a personal spin on the story ultimately led to the downfall of the franchise.

Lewis Pullman is ready to step in where Joaquin Phoenix pulled out.
The “Thunderbolts” star told Variety that he would be more than happy to replace “Joker” actor Phoenix in the now-shelved Todd Haynes queer-romance movie. Phoenix, who brought the idea to Haynes and developed the (probably) Nc-17-rated feature with screenwriter Jon Raymond, dropped out of the film five days before production began. IndieWire was the first to report the news.
Phoenix and Danny Ramirez were going to play two men in the 1930s who begin a romantic relationship and leave Los Angeles for Mexico.
Pullman, who co-starred with Ramirez in “Top Gun: Maverick,” wants to join the untitled Haynes film and resurrect its production.
“I would love to get that call,” Pullman said of stepping into the role. “It’s a brilliant idea. I’m here. I’m here. I’m ready.”
Ramirez and Pullman still collaborate even years after “Top Gun: Maverick.

As far as the world knows, Tom Cruise sees very little of his daughter — and he’s fine to keep it that way.
But the past year marked a turning point in Tom’s relationship with Suri. As she turned 18 in April, she was legally an adult.
At this point, if they both wanted to, they could start to forge a new chapter together.
But it turns out that Tom is content to keep things the way they are: distant.

Few films have managed to do what Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick did. Even though Top Gun was released decades before the 2022 film came around, it managed to outshine the original’s success, not only earning an Academy Award nomination but also finding a timeless place in popular culture.

One of the main reasons for the project’s success was that it brought back actors who were key players in the 1986 film. With this, one cannot help but wonder why Meg Ryan wasn’t among them, even though it could have done a lot for both, the film, and her professional life.
During an interview, the director of the film, Joseph Kosinski, revealed the reason why some actors from the past weren’t brought back, and the answer is quite unfortunate for Ryan.

Top Gun: Maverick has been a generational eye-opener for the fans and critics, new and old. The Tom Cruise sequel that arrived 36 years down the line was not just an emotional experience for the audience but a thrilling one that allowed them to revisit their memories of watching Maverick, Iceman & Co. finding their way back to each other once more.

While there was much thought put into the making of the 2022 film, there wasn’t anything left to discuss once Tom Cruise had Paramount green-light the film from his Mission: Impossible set. The story was clear and director Joseph Kosinski had already mapped out the blueprint. The emotional core of the film would stay intact via the characters and the action would elevate the rest of the theatrical experience into an epic one.

Three years have gone by since it was announced that Edgar Wright was coming on board to direct a new take on the novel The Running Man, which was written by Stephen King under his Richard Bachman pen name. The Running Man was, of course, previously turned into a film back in 1987 that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and had little to do with the source material. Earlier this year, it was announced that Glen Powell of Top Gun: Maverick, Hit Man, and Twisters is following in the footsteps of Schwarzenegger to play the lead role in the new adaptation – and now we’re starting to hear the names of some of his co-stars. Last week, it was announced that Katy O’Brian, who had a breakthrough role in Love Lies Bleeding and shared the screen with Powell in Twisters, had signed on to play one of the contestants in the film.

Lewis Pullman stars in Max’s new film adaptation of Stephen King’s second horror novel, “Salem’s Lot.” He plays Ben Mears, a writer who finds his quaint New England hometown has been invaded by vampires.
During an appearance on the “Just for Variety” podcast, the actor recalls his friend and “Top Gun: Maverick” co-star Danny Ramirez helping him develop his character’s story, especially his facial expressions when reacting to the blood-sucking creatures.
“He taught me this great thing, a way to break down the arc of a character with all these note cards,” Pullman says. “So I did it on this because I wanted to really track basically how Ben’s journey into believing in something crazy like vampires.

Writer-director Cord Jefferson won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2024 Oscars for turning Percival Everett‘s novel “Erasure” into the critically acclaimed film “American Fiction.” That marked the fourth time in a decade that a film based on a novel won this award. The others: “Women Talking” (Sarah Polley), “Jojo Rabbit” (Taika Waititi), and “Call Me By Your Name” (James Ivory). This is the most common form of adaptation to win. Indeed this award, which dates back to the first Oscars in 1928, has gone to the adapters of 48 novels over the year. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Adapted Screenplay.)

Stephen King’s 1975 novel gets its first big screen treatment, courtesy of Gary Dauberman. Here’s our Salem’s Lot review.
There’s a particular flavour of horror films that don’t often get a lot of appreciation, especially as so-called “elevated horror” dominates the screens and critics’ notebooks. These horrors aren’t necessarily what we’d call good in the most traditional sense, but they’re perfectly fine and most importantly, hugely accessible for everyone.
Which brings us to Salem’s Lot, Gary Dauberman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 1975 vampire novel. Dauberman’s version of Salem’s Lot is the first time the book has been adapted to the big screen, although a shortened version of the 1979 miniseries did enjoy a short stint in cinemas, as did a feature film sequel to the miniseries, A Return To Salem’s Lot.
