Following the press conference unveiling the Cannes lineup, festival director Thierry Fremaux addressed a few hot topics, including Francis Ford Coppola’s 135-minute epic “Megalopolis,” which doesn’t yet have a distribution deal.
While “Megalopolis,” Coppola’s self-produced $120 million opus starring Adam Driver, has been selected to compete at the Cannes Film Festival, it doesn’t have a distribution deal in France. In theory, that’s not an issue as there are “quite a lot of films in the official section without any distribution,” as Fremaux tells Variety. But in the case of “Megalopolis,” it may be a ticking bomb.
If “Megalopolis” does get sold to a streamer with no theatrical plans for France, it will spark uproar on the Croisette and within local exhibitors. Most importantly, it will clash with Cannes’ infamous rule which requires every film in competition to have French theatrical distribution. That strict guideline was first...

Lionsgate has shared first-look images and the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of Borderlands.
First announced several years ago, the adaptation of the beloved video game series is set to hit theaters on August 9th, and was named by Consequence as one of the most anticipated films of 2024. Directed by Eli Roth, it features a cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, Edgar Ramírez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and more.
Plot-wise, the film follows Lilith (Blanchett), a mysterious bounty hunter who returns to her home planet, Pandora, to find the daughter of Atlas (Ramírez), the “universe’s most powerful S.O.B.” Ultimately, Lilith teams up with a ragtag team — including Hart as a “seasoned mercenary on a mission” and Black as Claptrap, “a wiseass robot” — and the group fights aliens, bandits, and more with the fate of the universe in their hands.

When Mandy Moore was first approached about starring in Season 2 of “Dr. Death,” she was ready to branch out.
“I just was so excited to take on something that just felt different from anything I’ve ever done before,” Moore told TheWrap. The Peacock original marks the first major television series the actor has starred in since the conclusion of “This Is Us.” But it was the knowledge that Édgar Ramírez would be part of this project as well that really sold the actress on the series.
“We both love Season 1, and I just knew we were going to make something special,” Moore said.
“We really wanted to work together. When I heard that Mandy wanted to do it, I was so happy,” Ramírez told TheWrap, noting that he felt like the planets were going to “align” for them on this project.

There's no disputing that there's a clear villain at the center of Dr. Death Season 2. The second installment of Peacock's true-crime anthology charts the rise and fall of thoracic surgeon Dr. Paolo Macchiarini (Edgar Ramírez), who was hailed as a "miracle man" for his contributions to regenerative medicine, but questions about his lab-grown organs — which were supposedly bathed in a patient's own stem cells — emerged when his transplant recipients began dying. Multiple investigations uncovered damning evidence of wide-ranging fraud, and after a lengthy legal battle, he was convicted of gross assault against three of his patients and sentenced to 30 months in prison in Sweden.

The story of Peacock’s Dr. Death in its second season is really two stories, which intersect through duplicitous surgeon Paolo Macchiarini (Edgar Ramírez).
In one, a respected journalist (Mandy Moore’s Benita) falls in love with a con man, and then eventually retakes control of her life by taking him down. In the other, doctors grow suspicious of, and then work to stop, a celebrated colleague whose supposedly miraculous procedures are actually killing his patients.
Late in the season, a skeptical reporter tells Benita that the former narrative is the more interesting one, since it’s simpler, juicier, more relatable. But the show, created by Ashley Michel Hoban, only really comes alive in the latter. Stitched together, the two halves make for a lumpy, if occasionally gripping, whole.
Though he’s the reason we’re all here, Paolo himself remains something of an enigma. The premiere foreshadows his downfall...

Think of Dr. Paolo Macchiarini (Edgar Ramírez) as Prince Charming with a scalpel. In the second season of Dr. Death, this gripping anthology series based on real-life cases of medical malfeasance, the charismatic Italian thoracic surgeon grows famous for his groundbreaking synthetic organ transplants. But then his patients begin to die. Most of the starstruck international medical community accept his excuses for the deaths. “I was excited to demonstrate how institutional flaws stretch around the globe,” says executive producer Ashley Michel Hoban of the eight episodes that move from the U.S. to Sweden, Russia and Spain. “We also have a riveting love story, which adds a new layer of complexity.” NBC News producer Benita Alexander (Mandy Moore) falls for the polyglot physician while doing a story on his work but keeps their passionate relationship a secret because it’s a breach of professional ethics. “The character truly ...

As we sit in the shadows of the Covid-19 pandemic in a society where conspiracy theories and “personal research” are touted, some regard the medical field skeptically. However, many still view healthcare professionals in the highest regard, often without reproach. The general praise of doctors has allowed a few in the profession to get away with murder, literally. Based on the Wondery podcast, “Dr. Death: Miracle Man,” the second season of Peacock’s anthology series “Dr. Death” follows the real-life story of Dr. Paolo Macchiarini (Edgar Ramírez), whose web of deception stretched and spun across his private and professional lives, destroying anyone who dared to stand in his way. A whirlwind romance contrasting against horrific malpractice, the eight-episode season is a solid and compelling tale of the lies we tell ourselves when we are desperate for hope.

New doctor. New story. Dr. Death returns with its second season on Peacock on Thursday, December 21, with the focus on “Miracle Man” Paolo Macchiarini (Edgar Ramírez) and Benita Alexander (Mandy Moore), the investigative journalist doing a story on him. “History’s built on lines that we must be willing to cross,” Paolo says in the new trailer, but does he go too far? According to several people at different instances in the video, yes, he does. The implications of his work — he’s taken a 3D-printed trachea and transformed it into a living organ — are historic, and there’s even talk of the Nobel Prize, plus his patients really trust him. But then a patient dies, and Dr. Nathan Gamelli (Luke Kirby) wonders why he’s not being held accountable. Paolo denies that issues are related to his procedure. Watch the full video above for more of the investigation into Paolo.

One of Peacock's most successful series, Dr. Death, will be back on the air before the year's end, and we couldn't be more excited.

If you're looking for your Christmas binge, you'll be happy to know that all eight episodes will be available on that date.
What is Dr. Death About?
Dr. Death Season 1, headlined by Joshua Jackson, was highly binge-able, featuring twists and turns that made us want to watch the next episode, so releasing all the episodes at once is a decent tactic.
Obviously, Christopher Duntsch's storyline wrapped up at the end of the season, so the anthology will feature a chilling new story for Dr. Death Season 2.
