Hollywood is filled with underrated gems that only get better with time, and Val Kilmer’s 1993 Western, Tombstone, is one of them. It’s gritty, highly quotable, and somehow still manages to fly under the radar when people talk about great Westerns, despite the positive reviews. Directed by George P. Cosmatos, Tombstone is the kind of film that deserves every bit of praise it gets, and Tom Cruise seems to agree.

A full-blown cinematic phenomenon in himself, it is safe to say that Tom Cruise knows a thing or two about deserving films. After all, the man who gave us characters like Maverick and Jerry Maguire is someone whose opinion we hold in high regard. Here’s what he has said about Tombstone.

Matt Shakman, fresh off WandaVision, is leading the charge. And with a star-studded cast, Marvel’s stepping into uncharted territory. From Pedro Pascal’s sharp brilliance to Julia Garner’s cosmic charm, these actors are all set to craft iconic legacies.

Get ready to watch them make waves in the MCU like never before. But before we plunge into their superhero escapades, let’s take a moment to appreciate how far they’ve come.

Pedro Pascal has a knack for awe-inspiring roles.

It might be a bitter pill to swallow, but with The Crown's sixth and final season long concluded, no amount of rewatching can recapture the initial thrill — but all is not lost. There's another period drama that successfully captures the tone of a similar era with all the ingredients you love about The Crown. While it might not help you pick your favorite version of Queen Elizabeth, The Hour is an underappreciated BBC period drama that deserves another look. Created by Abi Morgan, the series stars Ben Whishaw, Romola Garai, and Dominic West in leading roles.

One of the surest signs that a show's best days are behind it is when the studio starts messing with its time slots. Such was the case with "The Twilight Zone," which ran its first three seasons at a pretty consistent pace before suddenly changing things up in season 4. Because creator Rod Serling and the rest of the production failed to find a sponsor for the season in time — which was a standard practice in the early '60s for any big TV show — CBS put it on hold throughout the fall on 1962. When the series returned in spring 1963, it now aired later in the night and was doubled to an hour-long format.

Although Rod Serling would later remark that he'd been unhappy with this decision, that the hour-long slot interrupted the flow of the show's storytelling and led to duller, stretched-out episodes, before the season aired he pretended like...

With Black Doves, The Day of the Jackal and The Agency all hitting TV screens in the space of a few weeks, premium spy shows feel in vogue.

Jane Featherstone and Joe Barton concur. They are the producer and creator behind Netflix’s Black Doves, which stars Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw as agents who operate amid a whirlwind of secrets.

“It’s back,” Featherstone told Deadline. “Everyone’s making ’em. The world is in a place where you need spies because there are so many barriers and nation state issues it just feels like the time.”

Featherstone, who runs Black Doves maker Sister, said these trends come in circa-25-year cycles, citing Spooks, the hit BBC series she produced in the 2000s. She said she is “definitely” being pitched more spy shows at present but there is room for plenty. Black Doves had a two-season order before it even premiered,...

HBO’s The Wire is widely celebrated as one of the best TV shows ever made. Spanning five seasons, the show, created by David Simon, offered a deep dive into Baltimore’s complexities. It explored themes like the drug trade, labor unions, political corruption, public schools, and the media, all while showing the intertwined systems within the city.

When The Wire premiered on June 2, 2002, critics praised it, but it didn’t immediately gain a large audience. Over time, however, the show found its footing, eventually becoming a beloved favorite and even launching the careers of several prominent actors.

At the start of the series, the cast featured well-known names like Dominic West, Sonja Sohn, and Lance Reddick. As the show progressed, it introduced rising talents who would later become Hollywood stars. Michael B. Jordan, Idris Elba, and Tristan Wilds are now recognized as some of the...

Russell Crowe played an important role in Daniel Zovatto being cast for Woman of the Hour.

Woman of the Hour's cast of characters features Rodney winning a date with aspiring actor Cheryl Bradshaw (Kendrick) when she is a contestant on The Dating Game television show, which led to him becoming known as the "Dating Game Killer."

Kendrick and Zovatto spoke with Entertainment Weekly and explained how Crowe encouraged Zovatto to play the role of Rodney. When Zovatto was offered the role, he was filming The Pope's Exorcist with Crowe, who praised Kendrick's work and told Zovatto to accept the offer.

Lupin and Hijack creator George Kay is launching an All3 Media-backed indie.

Observatory Pictures has been set up in partnership with New Pictures, the All3Media-owned drama producer behind shows including Kay’s ITV drama The Long Shadow.

Under terms of the pact, all of Observatory’s projects will be co-produced with New Pictures, with All3Media International holding international distribution rights.

Kay will work closely with New Pictures’ CEO Willow Grylls and executive producer Matt Sandford. He will look to create and shown “ambitious, commercially-successful high-end drama series” for streamers and networks in the UK and internationally.

We understand Kay’s previous indie, Idiotlamp Productions, which he ran with director Jim Field-Smith, will remain operational, but only for existing IP such as Hijack. All new Kay creations will go through Observatory.

Dominic West has been a television mainstay for more than two decades now, but would you believe he has never received an Emmy nomination throughout his entire career? Luckily, that seems poised to finally change.

As of this writing, 14 out of Gold Derby’s 17 Experts from major media outlets are predicting that West’s Emmy curse will finally be broken with a Best Drama Actor nomination for Season 6 of “The Crown.” The English actor hopes to follow in the footsteps of Josh O’Connor, who won a lead acting Emmy in 2021 for his portrayal of Prince Charles on Netflix’s regal drama. West took over the role in Season 5 and continued playing the real-life royal until the series finale in December of 2023.

West was eligible for this same prize last year, but was snubbed in favor of Kieran Culkin, Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong...

In Netflixs Eric, the disappearance of a young child kicks off a surreal journey of desperation, police corruption, addiction, and a giant talking puppet. Starring the iconic Benedict Cumberbatch (The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar) as the father of the missing child, Eric is a six-episode psychological thriller limited series created by Abi Morgan (The Hour) and directed by Lucy Forbes (The End of The F***ing World). Set in New York City in the 1980s, the series follows a successful puppeteer (Cumberbatch) desperately searching for his missing son as he slowly loses grip on his life and sanity. With a deeply emotional focus, Eric is more than just a missing person thriller; its a story of people confronting their own lives and discovering who they really want to be.

Who is the real monster in Eric? Is it really the big, blue creature trudging around the streets of ’80s New York? Or is it something more insidious bubbling up inside the man who makes him?

In Eric, the limited series created by BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Abi Morgan, monsters are manifestations of fear. For Vincent, Benedict Cumberbatch’s floundering father, husband, and puppeteer, his demons — nurtured by his childhood neglect and exacerbated by his deteriorating mental health and addiction — manifest as a 7-foot-tall, furry hallucination. His name? Simply, Eric.

First sketched by his 9-year-old son, Edgar (Ivan Howe), Vincent conjures Eric, both in his mind and later in his workshop, to help bring Edgar home after he goes missing on the way to school. In writing the series, Eric was born from Morgan’s love of “magical realism and the imaginative...

Exclusive: Global TV and film studio Sister is gearing up for a string of projects to hit the small and big screens and today might well see the launch of its most daring.

Netflix’s Eric about a desperate father battling his own demons on the streets of 1980s New York as he searches for his missing nine-year-old son features Benedict Cumberbatch and a custom-made seven foot puppet, which is visible only to Cumberbatch’s character, the flawed Vincent. Abi Morgan’s six-part series ties together themes of belonging, addiction, loss and police brutality in a familiar setting. It was described as Sesame Street meets Taxi Driver by one British reviewer, although Sister creative chief Jane Featherstone compared it in scope and theme to Steven Spielberg’s Et.

Speaking exclusively to Deadline, Featherstone said the show is testament to the Chernobyl and This is Going to Hurt studio’s commitment to taking a talent-first approach.

Benedict Cumberbatch has a new mystery on his hands.

The Oscar nominee stars in the six-episode limited series Eric available to stream on Netflix now. Created by BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Abi Morgan, the thriller follows a desperate father as he battles his demons on the vibrant, dangerous, and intoxicating streets of ’80s New York in a race to bring home his missing son.

“This is a story about people finding their home,” said Cumberbatch. “Whether it’s a child, a homeless person, a gay Black cop, a wife in an unhappy marriage, or even Eric on the show, it’s all about finding a place.”

Vincent (Cumberbatch) is one of New York’s leading puppeteers and creator of the hugely popular children’s television show Good Day Sunshine.But his life unravels when his 9-year-old son goes missing on the way to school. “Eric is a...

What monsters hide in the darkest corners of our minds?

Eric, the emotional thriller from playwright and screenwriter Abi Morgan and director Lucy Forbes, and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Vincent Anderson,explores the concept of both physical and psychological monsters. For Vincent, the successful, yet troubled creator of an ’80s children’s show Good Day Sunshine, the brooding monster lurking around every corner is both. He’s also big, blue and white, and goes by the name Eric.

But Vincent’s real life is far more frightening than the imaginary beast that haunts him. His 9-year-old son, Edgar (Ivan Howe), goes missing in the gritty streets of 1985 New York City — where structural inequity has led to an addiction epidemic...

The real monster in Eric, the emotional thriller from playwright and screenwriter Abi Morgan, isn’t a big, blue beast. It’s something much more sinister.

The series, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a puppeteer named Vincent looking for his missing young son in ’80s Manhattan, explores the scourges of structural inequity, the AIDS epidemic, white collar crime, and addiction terrorizing the city.

“This is a drama and a quest of a man who goes in search of his son and goes on that journey deep into himself, but also deep underground into the underbelly of New York’s economic underclass, which has been ignored, abused, and corrupted,” Morgan tells Tudum.

Vincent’s journey to find 9-year-old Edgar (Ivan Howe) — and face his alcoholism and deteriorating marriage to his wife, Cassie (Gaby Hoffmann) — pairs...

Eric releases on Netflix on May 30, 2024.

A six-episode limited series starring heavyweights Benedict Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffmann will be available on Netflix at the end of May. Abi Morgan created and wrote the series. She is known for her incredible work on films like Shame and The Iron Lady and her Emmy-winning writing on The Hour. The series follows a set of parents who are struggling after their son is kidnapped on his way to school.

Set in New York, Eric replicates some of the incredible work of past crime-thrilling series from Netflix, such as Mindhunters, Griselda, and Ripley. The often dark tone of the series brings a nice twist with the introduction of Eric. Eric is a character that Vincent and Cassie’s son Edgar had drawn. The larger-than-life monster is brought to life after Edgar’s kidnapping, bringing a much-needed comedic aspect to the series.

George Kay looks conflicted. Speaking to Deadline before the resolution of the writers strike, the British WGA member had put down his pen on an Amazon Studios movie project and ducked a U.S. publicity round for his Apple TV+ series Hijack. But it’s fair to say that the strikes coincided with Kay having a serious moment.

Not unlike the protagonist in Hijack, Idris Elba’s brooding professional negotiator Sam Nelson, Kay has spent years maneuvering his way between three complex projects for Apple, Netflix and ITV/Sundance—only for them all to launch within four months of each other.

Just like Nelson’s character in Hijack—“He gets brought in, by big companies…when it all kicks off,” Nelson’s wife explains to a police officer in the show—Kay’s the man you bring in when you want to deliver a character-led thriller that will keep viewers hooked over several episodes.

Billed as a “sharply funny and beautifully observed” tale of heartbreak, the novel follows Andy, who loves Jen. However, Jen has stopped loving Andy and he can’t work out why. Synopsis reads: Now he is without a home, waiting for his stand-up career to take off, wondering why everyone else around him seems to have grown up. Set adrift on the sea of heartbreak at a time when everything he thought he knew about women and flat-sharing and his friendships has transformed beyond recognition, Andy clings to the idea...
