In AMC’s six-part revenge thriller “The Beast Must Die,” Cush Jumbo plays a mother who will stop at nothing to find her son’s killer. It’s her toughest role to date, but she welcomed the challenge.
“I was looking for something that would stretch me, and Gaby Chiappe’s script came across my desk and it was truly the best script that had passed over my lap, maybe ever,” she said. “I just couldn’t put it down, and I thought, ‘I have to do this’, so from the very beginning I was quite excited by it. So, yes, I was working hard, but I was enjoying it because I enjoy working hard.”
In the limited series, Jumbo stars as Frances Cairnes, who takes matters into her own hands after learning the police have dropped their investigation into her son’s fatal hit-and-run. Posing as a novelist researching a new murder-mystery,...

Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson are battling it out for the title of James Corden‘s best friend.
The two The Hustle stars hilariously tried to one-up each other while on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday night.
In a skit about Corden’s birthday, Wilson, 39, and Hathaway, 36, competed for Corden’s affections, 40. After giving the host a small portrait of them, Hathway was dismayed to see Wilson had beaten her with a complete painting of a buff Corden holding Wilson in his arms.

"We're not nice women. We're con artists!" The Revenge is on! MGM has debuted the second official trailer for summer comedy The Hustle, playing off of The Avengers and the hype for that big blockbuster movie opening this week. The Hustle is a gender-swapped remake of comedy classic Dirty Rotten Scoundrels from 1988. In this one, Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway star as two "down-and-out" con artists, one low rent and the other high class, who team up to take down the dirty rotten men who have wronged them. The original movie involves the two of them participating in a secret "loser leaves town" contest to see who can out scam the other. This one also stars Tim Blake Nelson, Alex Sharp, Ingrid Oliver, Emma Davies, and Douggie McMeekin. An amusing trailer, not the funniest, but it's good. Hopefully the movie is better. Here's the second official trailer for Chris Addison's The Hustle,...

The original movie involves the two of them participating in a secret "loser leaves town" contest to see who can out scam the other. This one seems to twist that concept a bit, and move it to a different high roller town. Also starring Tim Blake Nelson, Alex Sharp, Ingrid Oliver, Emma Davies, and Douggie McMeekin. The original is a classic, and the way the two play off of each is brilliant. I'm not sure this one will live up to that, but it looks absurd enough. Here's...
