The first talks of the movie came around in 2021, and development began in 2022. The main cast members were then announced beginning in Sept.

Ten years ago, one of HBO’s many hit shows that became a pop culture phenomenon had ended its run. True Blood was created by American Beauty writer Alan Ball and was based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries novels written by Charlaine Harris. The show dealt with vampires becoming ingrained in society with a new evolving fight for equal rights. The series starred Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Chris Bauer, Nelsan Ellis, Jim Parrack, Carrie Preston, Alexander Skarsgård, Todd Lowe, Deborah Ann Woll, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Lauren Bowles, and Joe Manganiello.

Your honor, I must confess — I have a mighty big soft spot for "The Devil's Advocate." The 1997 supernatural courtroom thriller stars Keanu Reeves as Kevin Lomax, a hotshot Florida lawyer (with the world's sketchiest Southern accent) who is recruited by a fiendish defense attorneys office in New York, run by the charismatic and slightly terrifying John Milton (Al Pacino). As he abandons his morals in order to win cases, Kevin's wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron) starts having horrific visions with demonic influences. You see, Milton isn't just devilishly handsome and talented, he's also actually the devil himself.

"The Devil's Advocate" completely hinges on Pacino's performance, as he plays Milton with a kind of outlandish delight that only a rare few of our greatest actors could ever attempt. It's a little bit Tony Montana from "Scarface" when he's on copious amounts of coke and a little bit Lieutenant Hanna from "Heat,...

Sebastian Stan is not here for the Marvel criticism and defends the studio as the MCU continues to transition.

The actor who is set to reprise his role of Bucky Barnes in Marvel’s Thunderbolts in 2025 has positive things to say about his time working with the studio.

“I’ve never been part of a company that puts so much heart and thought into anything,” Stan said in an interview with British GQ.

Marvel has been getting a lot of criticism for their latest films as they introduce new superheroes, but Stan makes note that there isn’t another studio to replicate what they have done.

“I think if Marvel was gone, it’d be such a big hole to try and fill up. Don’t just go out there and shit on something without offering something better,” he said.

As Stan is part of the MCU, he hopes he...

Thunderbolts* Adds Superman Star Wendell Pierce in Mystery Role - Main Image

Superman star Wendell Pierce is reportedly making his MCU debut as he also joined the cast of Thunderbolts*.

The upcoming MCU film will feature the crossover of fan-favorite characters from past films and TV shows led by Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes as they assemble for a covert mission.

Recently, fans were treated to the official teaser trailer which gave them their first exciting look at the highly-anticipated team-up and the awesome action sequences.

Superman's Wendell Pierce Joins the Cast of Thunderbolts*

According to the film's official project profile released by Disney, Pierce is part of the main cast of Thunderbolts*. There are no details regarding the role that he is playing.

This is an interesting casting tidbit considering that he is also playing Perry White in James Gunn's Superman,...

Marvel Studios recently released the first trailer for Thunderbolts* - you can read our breakdown here - but an official project profile for the movie shared by Disney reveals two unexpected casting additions.

The first is Chris Bauer, a prolific actor who has delivered memorable turns in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, For All Mankind, and Heels among many other projects. There's no word on who he's playing but we'd bet on it being a villain given what a great antagonist he's made in previous roles.

The bigger surprise is the addition of Wendell Pierce; the actor, who has more critically acclaimed performances to his name than we have room to list here, is perhaps known best for his work in The Wire.

However, he's also shown up in the likes of Jack Ryan, Suits, and Clemency. Pierce has been cast as The Daily Planet's Editor in Cheif, Perry White in James Gunn's Superman,...

The small town of Duffy, Georgia, has always centered around one thing: professional wrestling. For decades, thespians like Tom “King” Spade thrilled crowds at the Duffy Dome. Though his charisma lit up the ring, money was scarce. Still, Tom’s sons Jack and Ace grew up enamored by the sport. Now adults, they’ve inherited their father’s legacy—for better or worse.

The Starz series Heels follows the brothers as they run the Duffy Wrestling League. Season 1 explored their rivalry while keeping the promotion afloat. Then tragedy struck; Tom took his own life, leaving big questions. Season 2 sees Jack and Ace still grappling with their father’s ghost. The league has momentum, yet cracks emerge. Outside the ropes, personal demons loom large.

By delving into the characters’ pasts, Heels shines a light on what shaped this close-knit community. Flashbacks reveal the Spades’ complex bond, formed in this atmosphere of fleeting fame and fickle fortune.

“Heels” is now officially streaming both of its seasons on Netflix, giving the former Starz series a chance to capture a much bigger audience than it ever had before.

In an interview with Variety, series creator Michael Waldron joked that he and the show’s team would frequently discuss what it would be like if the show had debuted on Netflix originally.

“We often said, ‘Well, s–t, if we were on Netflix, everybody would be watching this thing!” Waldron said. “And now it’s kind of like, alright, the universe called our bluff.”

“Heels” premiered on Starz in 2021, with the second season dropping in 2023 before it was canceled along with several other Starz shows. The series follows the Duffy Wrestling League (Dwl), a struggling pro wrestling promotion in a small town in Georgia run by Jack Spade (Stephen Amell). Jack inherited the league from his father and now struggles...

The wrestling drama Heels delves into the complex bond between two brothers thrust together in their father’s small-town wrestling league. After their dad’s passing, Jack Spade takes charge of the struggling Duffy Wrestling League in Duffy, Georgia. He plays the villainous “heel” in the ring while penning twisted stories. Younger brother Ace shines as the heroic “babyface” but dreams of escaping their sleepy burg.

Tension simmers between the siblings with differing visions for the promotion and their lives. Jack sees Dwl as his legacy, crucial for providing for his family. Ace yearns for fame beyond their backyard circuits. As the brothers grapple inside the ropes and out, we glimpse their rocky reality beneath the pageantry.

Starz’ Heels immerses us in this gritty sporting world. But it’s the emotionally charged kinship at its core that hooks us. Watching Jack and Ace’s relationship shift hold-by-hold keeps us hooked till the final bell.

Exclusive: Paramount+’s new original limited series JonBenét Ramsey (w/t) has cast Jaime Ray Newman and Josh Stamberg (Fleishman is in Trouble) in recurring roles.

Production will begin shortly in Calgary, Canada, with Richard Lagravenese serving as showrunner and executive producer. Four of the eight episodes, including the first, will be directed by Anne Sewitsky, who also executive produces.

Joe Manganiello is sharing why he thinks the cast of True Blood was way too “overqualified” to be starring in the hit drama fantasy series.

On a recent episode of Podcrushed, with hosts Penn Badgley, Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, the actor, who played Alcide Herveaux, looked back at the “really wild, crazy, intelligent” show that “pushed the culture forward at the time,” as he described it. However, he noted that the series cast actors with extensive résumés.

“What’s funny about True Blood was, you know, we were all really, really overqualified,” Manganiello admitted. “Well, I should say the material was deceptively tricky because it was kind of written in like Tennessee Williams. It was very operatic at times.”

He continued, “But, you know, but it’s all theater kids. It’s like people with Tonys and Oscars and, you know, Mike McMillan and I were the Carnegie Mellon kids,...

The acclaimed Showtime limited series “Fellow Travelers” tells the decades-long love story of two closeted men, Hawk Fuller (Matt Bomer) and Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey) who meet in 1950s Washington. Their early days together are told against the backdrop of the rise and fall of Joseph McCarthy (Chris Bauer), the notorious Republican Senator from Wisconsin, tapped into Americans increasing Cold War fears of Russia and rampant Communist infiltration in the U.S. He was a little-known junior senator who, on Feb. 9, 1950, made his notorious speech in Wheeling, West Virginia where he brandished a list of over 200 alleged Communists working in the State Department. These employers, he added, were being protected by high-ranking Communist sympathizers.

McCarthy got his desired response: nationwide publicity. He became an overnight sensation in the Senate. By 1953, McCarthy was chairman of Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations where he continued his Communist witch hunt while gaining more publicity and notoriety.

Note: This post contains spoilers for "The Wire."

Is "The Wire" still one of the greatest TV shows of all time? David Simon's sprawling, complex portrait of Baltimore has appeared on multiple "best of" lists over the years, popping up near the top of masterpiece-filled rankings from outlets like Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Empire, and more. The HBO series, which really couldn't have worked before that channel's dominance in early 2000s, currently ranks sixth-highest of all time on IMDb, and despite never winning an Emmy, it's earned a Peabody, DGA and WGA awards, and a spot on the American Film Institute's Television Programs of The Year list three different times.

"The Wire" is no doubt a work of storytelling genius, and much of its tremendous effect is cumulative. The series starts at the street level of Maryland's biggest city, examining the effects of drugs and gang life before refocusing...
