Austin Butler, who recently had everyone in awe of his performance in the eagerly awaited Dune sequel, has now been causing waves with his gun training clip. Indeed, when a video of the Dune 2 star receiving rigorous gun training popped up online, the world erupted in excitement. There have been rumors for quite some time now that the California-born actor, 32, was secretly hired to play Val Kilmer’s role in Michael Mann’s upcoming sequel to Heat (1995).
As rumors about his role in the upcoming film Heat 2 spread, fans speculated on what this could mean for his character and the overall plot of the highly anticipated sequel. Although the reason behind Butler’s training is still a mystery, fans are thrilled about the idea of seeing the actor in an action film, regardless of whether it is for Heat 2.

Tom Hanks is one of the most celebrated actors of his generation and possibly the most beloved American movie star from the second half of the 20th century. Over his four decades in Hollywood, he's proven himself capable of completely disappearing into a variety of roles across both comedy and drama.
Yet whatever role Hanks is playing, his reassuring warmness can always be felt emanating off the screen. Likeability can be a poisonous term in Hollywood, but Hanks has always had an uncanny ability to find the soul of his characters and present it completely openly on screen in a way that audiences can't help but root for. He's more than an actor; he's an American institution, and Hollywood would look very different without him.

It’s officially over for Natalie Mordovtseva and Josh Weinstein, and 90 Day: The Single Life viewers are rehashing their relationship.
This week, we watched Natalie end her relationship with Josh in an uncomfortable-to-watch scene.
Natalie met Josh for lunch, but her greeting was anything but cordial as she dodged his attempt to give her a hug.
Natalie was very cold to Josh and called him “weak” before telling him she didn’t want to waste her time on a guy who “doesn’t fight for me, who doesn’t care about me.”
TLC shared a clip of the exchange on its Instagram feed with a caption asking viewers, “Is this the most awkward hug in #90DayFiance history?”
After watching the episode and rewatching the scene on Instagram, 90 Day: The Single Life viewers pondered why Josh would ever entertain dating someone like Natalie, given her explosive nature and unexpected mood swings.

Coffey's willingness to accept his fate in The Green Mile highlights the tragedy of his character's innocence and ultimate sacrifice. The film's bittersweet ending, with Coffey's execution and passing on his abilities to Paul, raises deep questions about justice and morality. John Coffey's smile at his execution hints at a deeper knowledge and acceptance of his fate, symbolizing his role as a messianic figure.
With fantasy elements combined with the prison drama in its powerful ending, there are many audiences who still seek to have The Green Mile explained. Directed and written by Frank Darabont, The Green Mile concerns the 1935-set story of death row prison guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) as he meets and is forever changed by the mild-mannered John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a physically imposing Black man sentenced to death for the rape and murder of two white girls.

Wilson Fisk very much ascribes to the "Speak softly and carry a big stick" philosophy. Except, the crime boss of Hell's Kitchen doesn't need a big stick -- he's got himself. Whether on the pages of a comic book or the screen, the man they call Kingpin always towers over everyone around him. "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," once again demonstrating that animation is uniquely equipped for the superhero genre, exaggerates the proportion of Fisk's shoulders to his head to an absurd degree to literalize the idea of a man who dominates any room he enters. Meanwhile, the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan had little trouble physically embodying the character in the 2003 "Daredevil" movie, being a real-life Jack Reacher at six-foot-five and over 300 pounds.
Vincent D'Onofrio, on the other hand, had a trickier task, having to capture not just Fisk's daunting physical stature but also his vulnerable personality in Netflix's "Daredevil" series.

Certain aspects of 2003's Daredevil have aged better than expected, including its brutal violence, dark tone, and Matt Murdock's struggles with morality as a vulnerable hero. Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin and Colin Farrell's Bullseye seem like solid portrayals of the Marvel villains, in retrospect. Elektra's death proved superhero movies could have tangibly high stakes, and Daredevil's sonar abilities, billy-club fight moves, and old-school leather superhero suit make Ben Affleck's portrayal a unique iteration of the hero.
While the 2003 Daredevil movie starring Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock isn't a Marvel movie that's usually held in high regard, certain creative choices in it have stood the test of time. Charlie Cox's MCU Daredevil is one of the most well-developed versions of the character, with three Daredevil seasons at Netflix, one crossover series in the form of Defenders, three MCU appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home,...

As Kingpin once said, “The people need to be reminded that the city belongs to me.” And apparently all of the Kingpin reading material belongs to Vincent D’Onofrio, who has consumed just about every piece he can get his hands on.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, D’Onofrio said, “I’ve seen everything that involved [Wilson] Fisk that’s up to this point. I mean, there’s some of the new runs, the Kingpin runs that I haven’t looked at yet, but as far as everything, any canon that connects Fisk I’ve read.” We sense a little slacking from D’Onofrio, but then again, considering just how much Kingpin material is out there, we can’t entirely fault him for falling behind.
As far as which Kingpin works have grabbed his attention the most, D’Onofrio pointed to the legendary Frank Miller, who wrote Daredevil’s Born Again storyline in 1986. “The [Frank Miller] runs...

For some of us, “American Fiction” has a satirical audacity that’s funny right out of the gate, gathers speed and force on the runway — and then, somehow, just when the comedy should be taking off, it turns muted and moralistic instead. I think the hitch is that after Jeffrey Wright’s Monk sells his fake memoir of Black street life, there’s a strong urge to see him — and the film — take a certain vengeful joy in how the book’s popularity skewers the racism of clueless white people. Instead, Monk is made so miserable by what happens that the movie never allows itself to discover that joy.
Had it done so, it might have been more like “The American Society of Magical Negroes,” a comedy of racial images that’s every bit as witty and scandalous as “American Fiction” (it almost feels like a kind of cousin to...

Editor’s Note: This review was originally published at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Focus Features will release “The American Society of Magical Negroes” on Friday, March 15.
In one of the few laugh-out-loud scenes of “The American Society of Magical Negroes,” actor, writer and comedian Kobi Libii’s unevenly written but good-looking directorial debut that gradually runs out of steam, a Black man grabs an unsuspecting white person by the crotch to supposedly cure him of a prostatic illness.
The scene is a direct reference to Frank Darabont’s 1999 Oscar nominee “The Green Mile,” in which Michael Clarke Duncan’s prison inmate with a heart of gold (and supernatural powers) and Tom Hanks’ kind guard get similarly, well, acquainted. “The Green Mile” was only one of the then-recent barrage of popular movies like “What Dreams May Come,” “The Family Man,” and “The Legend of Bagger Vance” (also amusingly referenced in Libii...

In the sixth-season episode of "Bones" called "The Finder," which aired in April of 2012, Brennan and Booth (Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz) travel to the Florida Everglades to investigate the death of a maritime museum worker whose remains in the woods lead to the discovery of a fragment of a 17th-century map. The map may lead to sunken treasure (!) and our heroes know that if they find the rest of the map, they'll likely uncover a murderer.
To help with their investigation, the two agents hire an eccentric local named Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults), an old friend of Booth's. Walter is a kooky former soldier and head injury sufferer who possesses a bizarre, obsessive talent for locating lost objects. It's implied that Walter may even have semi-clairvoyant powers.

A minion nears his powerful master with good news. Spider-Man has gone, leaving the city unprotected. “This means the time has come to proceed with my master plan!” he responds, before explaining his plot to consolidate power.
These types of pronouncements aren’t uncommon among supervillains, many of whom have menaced the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Everyone from Kaecilius in Doctor Strange to Thanos across the Infinity Saga has launched a major battle to destroy their enemies and conquer the world.
But the guy we’re talking about here has no such lofty intentions. As 1967’s Amazing Spider-Man #50 demonstrates, Wilson Fisk endeavors to be no more than the Kingpin of Crime, the mastermind behind all of the illegal activities in New York City. And those limited ambitions make Fisk’s return to the MCU so monumental. Vincent D’Onofrio will reprise his role as Wilson Fisk in Echo,...

Paul Giamatti's role in Planet of the Apes came about when Tim Burton said he looked like a monkey, resulting in an offer to be in the film. Giamatti insisted on playing an ape despite his agents suggesting he play a human, so his face could be seen. The Burton-directed Planet of the Apes film received mixed reviews and was criticized for its depiction of the ape characters.
Planet of the Apes star Paul Giamatti reveals the Tim Burton compliment that landed him a role in the film. Released in 2001, Planet of the Apes is a Burton-directed entry into the franchise that sees an Air Force astronaut who lands on a foreign planet where apes are the dominant force against a race of more primitive humans. In addition to Giamatti, the film stars Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, David Warner, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Estella Warren.

One can't say much to defend the clunky script or the bad casting decisions for Tim Burton's 2001 film adaptation of Pierre Boulle's "Planet of the Apes." Not only did Burton's film alter the story of the original novel into something far less poignant, but Mark Wahlberg didn't project the "square-jawed space hero" archetype that his character was clearly written as. Estella Warren and Kris Kristofferson also didn't fare well as put-upon wilderness dwellers, coming across as dainty weekend warriors who had never been camping before.
Where Burton's film excels, however, is the ape design. The makeup effects by Rick Baker are some of the best in cinema history, looking eerily natural on the faces of previously recognizable actors. Additionally, the ape cast went through extensive movement training and their chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan body movements are impressive and convincing.
The ape cast also did its job with aplomb.

To remind readers, outside of Batman and Superman, superhero characters were once often considered to be bad bets at the box office. Many film execs assumed that audiences were too small to make a superhero movie profitable, and the special effects needed to realize a superhero character were going to be too extensive to do cheaply. It wouldn't be until film VFX technology had sufficiently advanced that certain filmmakers would give mainstream Marvel superheroes a try. 2000 saw the release of Bryan Singer's "X-Men," a steel-glinting superhero flick that developed its own aesthetic instead of cleaving to the colorful costumes of the comic book page. 2002 saw the release of Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man," a limp and unengaging drama, but one with first-rate Spider-Man visuals that still look impressive to this day. It looked like a trend was starting.
That trend seemingly hit two speedbumps in 2003, however, with the release...

The Green Mile remains faithful to King's novel and delivers a heartbreaking yet unforgettable experience, thanks to Darabont's careful handling of heavy themes and Michael Clarke Duncan's breakthrough performance.

"Friends" star Matthew Perry acted alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood before his tragic death on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54. Perry's roles -- primarily in comedies -- set the tone for his sprawling career. In one of these appearances, he starred alongside an actor whom he would later praise for his sheer coolness.
Perry starred alongside Bruce Willis in "The Whole Nine Yards," a 2000 action-comedy flick that also starred Amanda Peet and Michael Clarke Duncan. Perry played Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky, a dentist who is surprised to learn that his new neighbor is contract killer Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Willis). This wouldn't be the only time the duo would star alongside each other, however, as Willis would also land a guest role in "Friends" that would earn him an Emmy in 2000.
The two actors developed a strong relationship during their time starring opposite one another in the film and on "Friends.

Hitting theatres in 1998, “Armageddon” was the year’s most successful film at the box office, although not so much with critics.
In the Michael Bay-directed film, a massive asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, leading NASA to recruit a veteran oil driller (Bruce Willis) and his team, training the drillers to be astronauts in order to send them into space so they can drill deep into the asteroid and implant a nuclear bomb that will blow it to smithereens and save the planet.
While the film brought in more than $553 million, reviews were decidedly mixed, with many critics taking issue with the more ludicrous elements of the plot.

Only one film adaptation of Stephen King's novels has won an Oscar, and that film is Misery, a psychological horror masterpiece. Misery received critical acclaim for its departure from fantasy elements, with Kathy Bates winning the Best Actress Oscar for her role as Annie Wilkes. While other King adaptations have received nominations, including Carrie, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile, the Academy rarely recognizes horror movies in the Best Picture category.
Stephen King’s novels and short stories have made the jump to other media for years, most notably to the big screen, but only one movie adaptation of King’s works has won an Oscar. Stephen King has been terrorizing generations of readers for decades, and it all began in 1974 with Carrie.

Armageddon was one of the highest-grossing films of the '90s but Bruce Willis was actually forced into it due to a failed project and a lawsuit. Willis' involvement in Armageddon came about due to the collapse of Broadway Brawler, which led to a legal dispute with Disney. As part of a deal to resolve the lawsuit, Willis also starred in The Sixth Sense and The Kid, two further successes that helped his career.
Armageddon was one of the highest grossing films of the 1990s, despite its lead star, Bruce Willis, being forced to be in it. Michael Bay films are associated synonymously with action and explosions in the pop culture vernacular, and the space adventuring 1998 flick was one of the director's first major box office hits. With a star-studded cast of Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, and also featuring Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton, Owen Wilson, and Michael Clarke Duncan in supporting roles,...

Ellen Pompeo's versatility as an actor is evident in her ability to seamlessly transition between comedic and dramatic roles throughout her career. While Pompeo had a promising start in major movies, it was her role as Dr. Meredith Grey in Grey's Anatomy that catapulted her to household name status and defined her career.

Christopher Nolan revealed on “The Rich Eisen Show” during his “Oppenheimer” press tour that he considers “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” to be one of the “great comedies,” which may come as a surprise to anyone who assumed the Oscar-nominated filmmaker is as brooding and cold as some of his films are. Eisen asked Nolan to name his favorite “remote drops,” referring to films that you just have to watch any time you’re scrolling through TV channels and see it’s airing.
“I mean, god, anything by [Stanley] Kubrick, you know? It’s a remote drop,” said Nolan. “And some of the great comedies too, I mean ‘Talladega Nights,’ I’m never gonna be able to switch that up.”
“‘The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’ is a Christopher Nolan mic drop movie?” Eisen asked.

Hollywood loves feel-good, based-on-real-life sports dramas, and isn't shy about drastically altering the facts to mine these tales for maximum stand-up-and-cheer potential. The scrappy high-school basketball underdogs in "Hoosiers" were, despite the school's small enrollment, actually a top team in the state during that supposed Cinderella season (which is why the filmmakers opted to set the film in a fictional town). "Remember the Titans" is riddled with inaccuracies, one of the most egregious being that T.C. Williams High School's climactic game against George C. Marshall High occurred in the middle of the season. And while the title character of "Rudy" did fulfill his dream of suiting up for his beloved Notre Dame Fighting Irish, retired NFL quarterback Joe Montana, who was on the team at the time, says the dramatic uniform-dumping scene is a pure fabrication.

It's generally presumed that if a supervillain, bent on world domination or the destruction of humanity, is willing to take on the greatest superpowered heroes, he or she is also in possession of superhuman abilities, but that's not always the case. Sometimes the only power a superhero movie antagonist has is a sociopathic capacity for evil.
While it is thrilling to have a foe of unimaginable power like Thanos, who requires an Avengers collective effort and time travel to defeat, it's also fun to have a human villain armed only with twisted intellect and bad intentions. Some of the best superhero movie villains of all time had no superpowers whatsoever.

The cancellation of the TV series The Finder after just one season was due to poor viewership numbers and declining ratings, as well as the inability to gain the likability level of its parent show, Bones. The inclusion of popular actor Michael Clarke Duncan and a lead-in from American Idol couldn't save the spin-off, as viewers expressed their disdain towards the series and rejected the attempts to force it on them. The Finder could potentially find new life on Disney+, where it may attract a new audience without the fear of replacing Bones. The change in viewing habits and increased viewership on streaming platforms could lead to more people discovering and enjoying the show.

News recently broke that Jennifer Garner would be reprising the role of Elektra Natchios in Deadpool 3 over 20 years since she first took on the part in 2003's Daredevil. Led by Ben Affleck as the titular character, the film received mixed reviews from critics and moviegoers and isn't regarded highly in the pantheon of comic book films, but Garner's portrayal of Elektra is worthy of your time and is quite frankly the best thing the movie has going for it.
Prior to landing Daredevil, Garner made it known that she had the chops and physical prowess to take on action-packed roles. The actress gained significant recognition for starring as CIA officer Sydney Bristow in the action thriller series Alias, which ran from 2001-2006. The series was a hit with critics, and it developed a loyal fanbase that embraced Garner's portrayal of the complicated spy that was both physically and...

Pro wrestler Mike Halac, best known for portraying the bull-like character Mantaur in WWE, has died. Per TMZ, the news was announced by Halac's daughter, Demi, with a post on social media. While a specific cause of death isn't known at this time, Demi says her father died "peacefully in his sleep." He was 55 years old.
"He's no longer in pain," Demi says. "This really hit home to lose my father, he will forever be in my heart and many others. I love you dad. Make the skies beautiful for me."
Halac, who was born on May 14, 1968, made his debut in pro wrestling in the early 1990s. He originally competed for the Catch Wrestling Association under the moniker Bruiser Mastino before making his way to the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE).

Almost every character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a household name, and even before the MCU was iconic, names like Spider-Man and Captain America were recognizable. However, other characters required some adjustments from their presence on the page to the screen. A great example of this was Thor, who appeared in live-action in the TV movie, The Incredible Hulk Returns. In the film, Thor looked very different from his comic version, but he still embodied the best parts of the character. But Thor wasn't the only one who was altered considerably.
Wilson Fisk has become one of the most recognizable and appreciated villains in comics and TV. However, his most famous performance came in the 2015 Daredevil series when Vincent D'Onofrio played the role. That said, it wasn't the first time the character appeared in live-action as he, like Thor, first appeared alongside the Hulk. In The Trial of the Incredible Hulk,...

Another day, another rumor, and this one is sure to have Marvel fans very excited, as Ben Affleck has reportedly been spotted on the set of the upcoming MCU outing, Deadpool 3. While Affleck is now known for playing Batman in the DC cinematic universe, there once was a time when the actor belonged to the world of Marvel, portraying Matt Murdock aka Daredevil back in 2003. This latest rumor comes courtesy of Kc Walsh (via Cinemablend), and suggests that Affleck could once again sport the red leather of Daredevil as Deadpool and Wolverine make their way across the multiverse.

Nicki Minaj was reportedly the victim of a swatting prank call last week. According to a report by TMZ, an anonymous phone caller falsely told police that the rapper’s 2-year-old son, whom she calls Papa Bear, was being abused. The prank caller contacted child services, which caused Los Angeles Police Department officers to travel to Minaj’s home at around 6 p.m.
A law enforcement source stated that officers spoke with Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty and checked on their son. They found no sign of abuse, leading deputies to believe Minaj was the subject of a swatting call. Police called it “a waste of time and resources.”
Another prank caller reported a fire at Minaj’s house hours later at about 3 a.m. Police found that the call was false as well.
Minaj is reportedly talking with lawyers to find the people responsible for the swatting calls.

In a career so far spanning 50 years, Stephen King has published 65 novels (with a 66th imminent) and more than 200 short stories. His books have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, and have been regularly snapped up for film and TV adaptation. As a brand name, King is almost as prolific on screen as in print, with at least 60 movies (not even including the eight sequels to Children Of The Corn) and 50 shows to date, with more always incoming.
Cinematically, however, while some of the author’s adaptations are clear-eyed classics, the King association has not always been a guarantee of quality. In the early days, the gold rush to mine his back catalogue yielded more turkeys than treasure. So, with Rob Savage out this week (based on a 1973 short story in King’s _Night Shift collection), Empire have put together a list of the 15 greatest big-screen versions of the legendary scribe’s stories.

Director Daphné Baiwir examines not the literary work of prolific author Stephen King but the vast body of ongoing adaptations of King’s work, beginning with 1976’s Carrie, in the documentary King on Screen. With over 80 films and TV series and counting, adapting his work by over 50 directors, the horror author remains one of the most adapted in the world. King on Screen assembles talking heads to examine what it is about his literary work that translates to the screen so well and why his audience remains captive decades later. However, the documentary’s feature format struggles to encapsulate its subject’s overwhelming scope.
Baiwir begins her examination with an extended opening sequence that sees her traversing a fictional realm packed with King references. She drives through a forest, emulating the opening of The Shining, until she arrives at a shop named after the short story “In the Tall Grass.

There are many reasons why the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie flopped at the box office and became one of the biggest bombs of all time. Warner Bros. and DC Comics spent over two decades trying to adapt the Green Lantern comics into a movie, eventually planning to make a more comedic superhero film starring Jack Black. However, the success of Iron Man and the beginnings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe changed those plans, and Warner Bros hoped a more dramatic Green Lantern film might kickstart a DC Universe.
On paper, the 2011 Green Lantern movie seemed like a surefire hit. Superhero movies were in vogue, with Thor and Captain America releasing that same summer. The film also boasted an impressive ensemble, with talented actors like Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Temuera Morrison, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Geoffrey Rush, among others.

Helena Bonham Carter gave a committed performance as Ari in the Planet of the Apes remake, but there was one aspect of filming in full ape makeup and prosthetics that she didn’t enjoy. Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes remake reimagines the story of an astronaut crew crash-landing on a mysterious world where highly evolved apes have enslaved what remains of humanity. It brings a more epic scale to the battle between the apes and the humans and completely changes the original’s iconic twist ending. Mark Wahlberg stars as the astronaut captain, while Helena Bonham Carter co-stars as a compassionate chimpanzee who protests the mistreatment of humans.
After being typecast as an “English rose” with her early roles in Lady Jane and A Room with a View, Bonham Carter made a conscious effort to branch out and showcase her dark side in de-glamorized roles like Fight Club...

Having already won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in “Elvis,” Austin Butler is on a solid path to triumphing on his first Oscar nomination. His film, which covers the entirety of the titular rock star’s two-decade career, boasts a talented cast that includes past Oscar winner Tom Hanks, who collected back-to-back Best Actor trophies for “Philadelphia” (1994) and “Forrest Gump” (1995). He missed out on a supporting bid for “Elvis,” but if Butler clinches the lead award, Hanks will become the 15th man to have acted in a film that won the same Oscar he previously received.
Hanks has a total of five Best Actor nominations to his name, with the three unsuccessful ones having come for his work in “Big” (1989), “Saving Private Ryan” (1999), and “Cast Away” (2001). Until Butler was recognized for “Elvis,” Hanks had never appeared in a film for which someone...

Ryan Reynolds is calling out the “old school” thinking that in part led to the infamous “Green Lantern” box office bomb.
The “Free Guy” star detailed how it took years to “process” the flop that was the poorly reviewed 2011 superhero film, which barely grossed back its budget of $200 million.
“There was just too many people spending too much money and when there was a problem rather than say, ‘Ok, let’s stop spending on special effects and let’s think about character,'” Reynolds said during the Just For Laughs comedy festival in London’s O2 Arena (via The Independent) opposite former co-star Rob Delaney.
Reynolds continued, “That just never…the thinking was never there to do that. And to their credit, it’s a very old-school way of looking at things. It’s just, ‘Let’s just keep spending our way through this.’ And it didn’t work.”
