Upon hearing Anya Taylor-Joy was cast as Mad Max: Fury Road breakout Imperator Furiosa in the prequel, the internet had mixed reactions. Most viewers only pictured The Queen’s Gambit’s Beth Harmon, but the hardened rig driver wasn’t too out-of-place in the Hollywood actress after her breakthrough role in the 2015 horror film The Witch. While the rising star is more than capable of picking up where Charlize Theron left off, there was one area where things are sketchy – her driving. The Amsterdam star spilled what it was like stunt...

While it was a somber moment for Bond fans, it was a much-needed change for the Hollywood A-lister. The No Time to Die star explained why his death in his Bond swan song needed to happen.According to Craig, the international...

Timothée Chalamet and Florence Pugh are two of the busiest young actors in Hollywood. The two Oscar nominees co-starred in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 critical darling, Little Women, and they will again grace the screen together in the officially confirmed, Dune: Part 2. Chalamet will return in the Denis Villeneuve sequel as Paul Atreides. At the same time, Pugh, who was cast earlier this year, will portray Princess Irulan Corrino, a part originated by Virginia Madsen in David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation. And apparently, the two have a bit of an inside...

When it dropped in May, the audience response to Top Gun: Maverick was beyond incredible. The studio expected the film to be a hit, but they did not expect the movie to open at No.1 and stay in the top ten for an almost unheard-of 20 more weeks. Nor did they expect it to become the fifth-highest-grossing domestic release of all time, break a wild record for Paramount,  or be the biggest box-office hit of Tom Cruise’s career. Yet, all those things Maverick did. And one of the film’s stars,...

All hail the Brenaissance! Between movies like The Mummy and George Of The Jungle, Brendan Fraser was a staple talent of the ‘90s and ‘00s, until he wasn’t. While the actor never completely left Hollywood, he's only truly stepped back into the spotlight over the past year. And during this time, many have showered him with praise for his powerhouse performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale. The biggest instance of that occurred during the prestigious Venice Film Festival, where Fraser received a 6-minute standing ovation that left him with tears...

Top Gun: Maverick shouldn't have worked as well as it did by all past standards of measures when it comes to legacy sequels. It was a sequel released almost four decades after the original. Still, from its initial reception to wide release, Maverick proved to be a sequel delivering everything you want from a blockbuster. Part of what drew moviegoers to the cinema in flocks was the willingness of the Tom Cruise-helmed action movie to put in a level of effort big tentpole franchises don't often take the time to...

It’s been a while since we last saw Tom Cruise playing Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible movies, with 2018’s Fallout not only earning critical acclaim like its immediate two predecessors, but also becoming the highest-grossing entry in the franchise. But for Cruise, director/writer Christopher McQuarrie and many more, they’ve been firmly entrenched in the Mission: Impossible world for years now, with Dead Reckoning Part One having filmed on and off over the latter half of 2020 and into fall 2021, and Dead Reckoning Part Two having begun filming this...

Halloween has come and gone, and Thanksgiving is already upon us. What better time, then, to release a horror movie centered around food? The Menu stars Ralph Fiennes as celebrity chef Julian Slowik, who hosts a small group of wealthy foodies, writers and celebrities for an exclusive meal at his restaurant, which is located on a remote island. Suffice it to say these guests have a few surprises headed their way. The movie garnered pretty positive reactions when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and now the reviews...

While Ralph Fiennes may have been Jennifer Lopez’s love interest in one of JLo’s best rom-coms Maid in Manhattan, in real life the actor ended up being a decoy for her and Ben Affleck back in the early days of Bennifer. While the actor was out promoting his role in his latest movie The Menu, he revealed that he was caught with JLo by the paparazzi, which ended up acting as a decoy to the public to hide the early days of her and Ben Affleck's relationship.  The Menu actor...

2022 hasn’t been lacking for news stories involving Johnny Depp, from going to France to play King Louis XV in the upcoming movie La Favorite, to briefly dating one of the lawyers who represented him in his 2020 defamation case in the United Kingdom, to being sued over alleged plagiarism. That said, arguably most of the media coverage concerning the Pirates of the Caribbean star this year has revolved around the defamation trial that happened in Virginia between him and his ex-wife Amber Heard. Five months after the trial ended,...
