Stellar Performances By Riz Ahmed And Lily James (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Riz Ahmed steps into Relay with the quiet presence he is known for. He plays Tom, a professional fixer who manages corporate payoffs like he is moving pieces on a chessboard. His tight and deliberate performance peels back into something more personal as the story unfolds. Lily James appears as Sarah, a woman who might need his services or have other motives entirely. Their scenes together do not shout for attention but keep a steady grip on it.

Ahmed’s recent work has built a clear path to this. From the Sound of Metal to Encounter and Nightcrawler, he...

Everything About Empire Star Jussie Smollett(Photo Credit –Instagram)

American actor-singer Jussie Smollett, who originally rose to prominence for his role on Empire, where he played Jamal Lyon, became a lightning rod for controversy in 2019, when he was accused of faking a hate crime attack on himself.

Given his status as a black and gay actor, the alleged assault, which Smollett reported on January 29, 2019, resulted in an outpouring of sympathy towards him, with Empire producers Fox Entertainment releasing a statement that read (per Variety):

“We send our love to Jussie, who is resilient and strong, and we will work with law enforcement to bring these perpetrators to justice. The entire studio,...

Chris Columbus’ The Thursday Murder Club Lands Strong On Rotten Tomatoes!(Photo Credit –Netflix)

Netflix has released a new murder mystery, and it has already made a strong mark with a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. The streamer, known for its vast catalog of originals, continues to prove that its whodunits can stand beside its biggest action and horror hits. Over the years, titles like Glass Onion and the Adam Sandler-led Murder Mystery films have become familiar names in this space, and now another entry has joined the lineup.

James Cameron Criticized Jason Momoa’s Aquaman (Photo Credit – Instagram/Koimoi)

Titanic director James Cameron has never shied away from expressing his deep love for the Ocean. So when asked about the 2018 hit about the King of The Ocean Aquaman, Cameron didn’t hesitate to give his brutally honest opinion.

James Cameron has always been deeply fascinated with ocean life. The Canadian filmmaker directed one of the most iconic films about a tragic shipwreck in the middle of the Atlantic first divided into Titanic in 1995. This was followed by another 32 trips to the bottom of the Ocean.

Following his explorations, dropping 4,000 meters to the bottom of the Atlantic, Cameron professed...

It's the House of Mouse -- Mickey, to be precise. It's a global multimedia juggernaut, giving us everything from movies to theme parks. It owns every single intellectual property you enjoy, from every iconic cartoon to "Star Wars" to Marvel and more. It's Disney, the most famous studio in the world. And when they put something new out, it's worth paying attention to.

In the year of our Lord 2025, Disney has released "Captain America: Brave New World," "Snow White," "Thunderbolts*," "Lilo & Stitch," "Elio," "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," and "Freakier Friday," with the sure-to-make-a-billion-dollars "Zootopia 2" to come in November (and that's not including films released under labels like 20th Century Studios...

Avatar: Fire and Ash's returning secondary villain has been revealed, and the star teases that a revenge mission is coming. Directed by James Cameron, the third installment in the Avatar franchise continues the story of the Sully family, following them as their fight against the Rda intensifies.

As was revealed in the Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer, the upcoming epic introduces a host of new characters into the mix, including Varang (Oona Chaplin), the leader of the antagonistic Ash People. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) returns as well, adding to the film's roster of villains, but another figure from the franchise's past is also set to make a comeback.

Paul Reiser has been acting for the screen since Barry Levinson’s Diner over 40 years ago, and performing as a stand-up comic even longer than that. But today, he’ll enter a new arena: starring* in an adult animation show. It’s called Long Story Short, and it’s from creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg (BoJack Horseman). It follows the Schwooper family, moving forward and back in time: a bar mitzvah for son Yoshi (voice of Max Greenfield); eldest son Avi (Ben Feldman) getting defensive that his daughter Hannah (Michaela Dietz) is participating in a “winter-themed” recital at her school that’s clearly all about Christmas; middle child Shira (Abbi Jacobson) falling...

With over $2 billion at the global box office, Ne Zha II is already 2025's big box-office winner — at least until James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash enters the chat in December. And now China's animated Oscar hopeful has won critics' hearts as well. A new English-language version arrives in theaters this weekend courtesy of A24, featuring the voices of Michelle Yeoh, Vincent Rodriguez III, Aleks Le, Damien Haas, and Crystal Lee and it's the best-reviewed new film of the weekend with a 94 percent fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and 69 percent rating on Metacritic.

Summer is here, and while the days are long and dreamy the nights are all about the family getting together to enjoy a film or two. If you’re looking to avoid the paralysis of choice and intermittent internet with the streaming services, you can do no better than look to the ready supply of family friendly films on 4K and Blu-ray out to own this summer.

After all, physical media has stood firm against the onslaught of the streaming services. More than that – it’s making a comeback in the public’s affections. Most of us at HeyUGuys have been building our own personal libraries since the days of VHS,...

Alien: Earth has quickly become the highest-rated entry in the Alien franchise, according to Rotten Tomatoes. The new live-action series, which premiered on FX, FX on Hulu, and Disney+ worldwide on August 12, 2025, has earned a 96% critics’ score. This puts it above both James Cameron’s Aliens and the original 1979 Alien, which each have a 94% rating.

Via Rotten Tomatoes

The Alien franchise has seen highs and lows over the years. Older entries like Alien 3 only scored 44%, and Alien: Resurrection received 55%. Prometheus landed at 73%, Alien: Covenant reached 65%, and Alien: Romulus hit 80%.

The crossover films struggled even more, with Alien vs. Predator at 21% and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem scoring just 12%. Considering these numbers, the early success of Alien: Earth is a big win for the series.

Rotten Tomatoes praised the show, writing, “Stylistically bold and scary as hell, Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth transplants the Xenomorph mythos into the television medium...

Alien: Earth is making waves in the sci-fi world. The new live-action series, part of the legendary Alien franchise, premiered on FX, FX on Hulu, and Disney+ internationally on August 12, 2025.

Critics are loving it, giving the show a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which makes it the highest-rated project in the entire Alien series. That score even beats James Cameron’s Aliens, which has 94%, and the original 1979 Alien, also at 94%, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

This is a big deal for fans of the franchise. Over the years, the Alien series has seen highs and lows. Movies like Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection didn’t get great reviews, scoring 44% and 55% respectively. Prometheus earned 73%, Alien: Covenant had 65%, Alien: Romulus reached 80%, while crossover films like Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem scored much lower, at 21% and 12%. In comparison, Alien: Earth’s strong start is a huge win for the series,...

With its third episode, Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth continues to subvert expectations and cut through the noise of franchise fodder, instead finding something distinct and singular within the confines of the long-running series.

Titled “Metamorphosis,” the episode is directed by Dana Gonzales with a script by Hawley and frequent Fargo collaborator and Alfred Hitchcock Presents writer Bob DeLaurentis. Right out of the gate, the title of the episode itself immediately conjures some pretty compelling connotations for established fans of the Alien franchise; if the first two episodes featured a bunch of creatures and eggs in the earliest forms of their lifecycles, then a subsequent episode with such a title invites you to make some pretty clear conclusions about where this story might go.

And yet, much as it did with the first two episodes, Alien: Earth instead utilizes the established structure, trappings, and aesthetics of an Alien story to...

Before Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castleenters Western theaters, the film has already been dethroned one of the best anime films of the mid-2010s. Your Name, by Makoto Shinkai, has lost its spot as Japan’s highest-grossing film of all time to the latest Demon Slayer film, thus setting the stage for what's to come once the film arrives in theaters this September.

When Your Name came out in 2016, the feature generated ¥25.17 billion, making it the second-largest gross for a domestic film in the country, behind Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. But that changed when Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train came out...

Avengers: Endgame star Josh Brolin recently revealed the one demand he made for the movie while filming as Thanos. He also talked about a disappointing complaint he had regarding the infamous snap.

Appearing on the podcast On Film...with Kevin McCarthy, Brolin talked about filming the legendary Avengers movies and what it was like embodying a character as intimidating as Thanos. When talking about the iconic snap scene, Brolin remarked humorously that "it felt really dumb" filming it, adding "because I was in a onesie, with a bunch of dots and a bunch of Velcro. It's like, if I have Velcro on my gloves and I go to scratch something,...

Alan Ritchson's Jack Reacher has come a long way since he foiled a corruption plot in the small town of Margrave, Georgia. Back in 2022, season 1 of "Reacher" saw Ritchson's ex-military policeman arriving in the town (which was actually built in a Canadian cornfield) and causing all sorts of havoc after his brother is discovered dead and he's blamed for the murder. Since then, he's faced off against Robert Patrick's Shane Langston in season 2 (in what was a clear homage to a James Cameron classic) and thwarted an international arms dealer and his sprawling operation in season 3.

But back in season 1, he was just a guy looking for a place to get a slice of pie, before he got caught up in the small town conspiracy that ultimately saw him putting an end to a counterfeiting operation and clearing his name.

For fans of director James Cameron's earlier movies like "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," "Aliens," or "Titanic," it's hard not to be frustrated by Cameron's later-career filmography. After "Titanic" was released in 1997, Cameron has only released two movies since: "Avatar" in 2009 and "Avatar: Way of Water" in 2022. The third movie in the franchise, "Avatar: Fire & Ash," is set to release in December this year, with two more "Avatar" sequels after that. 

In other words, Cameron has spent most of the past 25 years focused entirely on "Avatar," which is a problem for viewers who don't think the "Avatar" movies are all that good. If you think the franchise is all style and no substance, if you think the movies are too long and the characters too archetypal, it's easy to see why you might echo the common talking point that Cameron is "wasting his life" by dedicating so much of it to his blue alien movies.

Bridgerton theories continue to fuel fan investment well after the release of Season 3. However, the extravagant Netflix sets of the third season are no less, either. Production designer Alison Gartshore revealed in an August 18 interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the famous Botanical Ball did not use CGI.

Unlike James Cameron’s go-to CGI techniques for his Avatar films, the Netflix series decided to employ faux florals and a mechanical pop-up centerpiece. Gartshore’s team collaborated with the special effects department to build a fully functioning pop-up garden, which wowed audiences (and Queen Charlotte). The complete set for the botanical ball took approximately 10 to 12 weeks to come together.

The artistry of the hand-painted flowers and murals is a stark contrast to Cameron’s CGI-infused spectacles. This proves the Netflix show’s commitment to delivering authentic sets.

Speaking of authentic sets,...

The story of film in the 1970s (and beyond) could be told without Roger Corman, but that story would be way more conventional, much less creatively exciting, a fraction as bold, and a lot less fun.

Bruce Dern, then just one of the fledgling actors to whom Corman gave crucial early roles, recalled asking Corman on the set of “The Wild Angels” in 1966 how many films he had made. “He told me about 60,” Dern told IndieWire. “That just knocked me out. He was a decade older than me, but I was amazed at the amount of movies he had done already.”

Corman was just getting warmed up. For the King of the Bs, who tapped an underserved youth market with his biker, beach, and rock and roll films in the 1960s, the 1970s would prove to be his heyday. In 1970, he launched New World Pictures and focused on producing and distribution.

Lee Child’s Jack Reacher never ceases to amuse, whether it's the big screen adaptation or the small screen one. The promise of the titular character being a perfect mix of brains and brawn keeps bringing the audience back to the screen. Before Alan Ritchson gave fans the iconic portrayal of the beloved character, Tom Cruise took up the role and excelled in it on the big screen. Now the Christopher McQuarrie-directed movie has fans’ attention.

Per FlixPatrol, the 2012 action-thriller Jack Reacher is in Pluto TV’s top 10 charts. The movie stands tall at number 8 in a list that also features Cillian Murphy’s 28 Days Later, Harrison Ford’s The Fugitive,...

In 2016, Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name went international and has since become one of Japan’s highest-grossing films of all time. Now, a new movie has finally taken its spot at the box office.

Shinkai’s Your Name was released in Japan in August 2016 and tells the story of Taki and Mitsuha, two teenagers who begin mysteriously swapping bodies. However, the supernatural and at first somewhat comedic hijinks reveal a darker tone, as Mitsuha, living in the small town of Itomori, actually died three years prior when a comet destroyed the town. The film helped cement Shinkai as a major directorial force, with some even calling him the new Miyazaki.

He complains tech is moving faster than he can write a script, but the director who invented machines thinking for themselves is still more creative than them

James Cameron has a confession: he can’t write Terminator 7. And it’s not because Hollywood won’t let him, as he’s too busy making the new Avatar – it’s because reality keeps nicking his plotlines. “I’m at a point right now where I have a hard time writing science-fiction,” Cameron told CNN this week. “I’m tasked with writing a new Terminator story [but] I don’t know what to say that won’t be overtaken by real events. We are living in a science-fiction age right now.”

It’s an understandable quandary for the veteran film-maker. Back in 1984, when the first Terminator movie came out, there was genuine shock value in the idea of a killer robot travelling through time...

Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson have just made their first film together: One Battle After Another, which hits theaters this fall. However, DiCaprio regrets not starring in one of Anderson's first movies, almost three decades ago. In a recent interview with Anderson, DiCaprio notes that his biggest regret is not starring in the director's adult-film epic Boogie Nights, in the role that would eventually be played by Mark Wahlberg.

Says DiCaprio, "My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights. It was a profound movie of my generation. I can’t imagine anyone but Mark in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece." Anderson wanted DiCaprio to play porn star Dirk Diggler (who was loosely based on real-life adult film actor John Holmes) in the film after seeing him in the drama The Basketball Diaries. While DiCaprio liked the script,...

One of the most rewarding examples of movie magic, stunts represent cinema at its most visceral. Performers have been executing stunts on screen from the very beginning. Edwin S. Porter's 1903 film "The Great Train Robbery," one of cinema's earliest smash hits, includes numerous stunts throughout its 13-minute runtime, including shootouts, explosions, fight scenes, and horseback riding. Though CGI and special effects have become quite advanced since then, the best 21st-century action scenes are still those that employ practical effects and boots-on-the-ground stunt work.

The lineage of modern stunt performances can be traced back 100 years. Comedians Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton pioneered daredevil stunt work during the silent era. Historical epics and westerns incited shock and awe in the 1940s and 1950s. The New American Cinema films of the 1970s portrayed gritty action, while Hong Kong cinema exploded in popularity in the 1980s thanks to performers like Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh.

Hulu’s latest sci-fi thriller, which has earned an impressive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is taking over streaming charts. The streamer premiered the first two episodes of Alien: Earth this week, and the show has soared to the top spot on both Hulu in America and Disney+ globally. In international territories, Alien: Earth is the most popular project in more than 25 countries, and it doesn’t fall any lower than #4 in any country where it’s premiered. The show was written and created for television by Noah Hawley, who is best known for his work creating the popular psychological thriller show, Fargo. He’s also the creator of Legion, a time-traveling superhero show that’s currently streaming alongside his new Alien spin-off on Hulu. Alien: Earth currently sits at a 96% from critics and a 74% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

While Alien: Earth does feature some big stars like Timothy Olyphant,...

Alien Movies Ranked (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

The Alien franchise has been among the most enduring icons of the horror and sci-fi genre ever since the original Ridley Scott film premiered in 1979. While the reception to some of the sequels proved divisive, the Alien series has proved to have strong staying power, as evidenced by the release of the acclaimed Alien: Earth during this month.

Hence, it’s worth looking back at the films that formed the foundation of this iconic franchise, which introduced us to the iconic xenomorphs. Read on to learn more about the alien film series, ranked by their worldwide box office gross as per The Numbers.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Box Office Day 30 (Japan) Update ( Photo Credit – Facebook; Netflix )

The Japanese anime movie Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has been in theaters for a month. It has also earned a remarkable feat at the box office in Japan, entering the all-time top 5 grossers. The film has surpassed the lifetime of Your Name in Japan and Titanic’s admissions to achieve a great milestone. Keep scrolling for the deets.

It is an animated dark fantasy action film directed by Haruo Sotozaki. Last month, the anime movie debuted with strong collections, reportedly marking the highest opening day gross in Japanese box office history. The film has the potential to beat Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’s collection at the box office. This is the climactic film featuring great action and animation.

James Cameron burst onto the scene with the sci-fi action classic "The Terminator," and he has since parlayed that success into a very prosperous Hollywood career. Cameron's "Avatar" made history by becoming the highest-grossing film of all time on two occasions, while his sequel, "Avatar: The Way of Water," is right up there with it in terms of profitability and currently ranks as the third highest-grossing movie ever. Elsewhere, "Titanic" -- Cameron's award-winning disaster blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as lovers on the titular sinking ship -- occupies the fourth spot on that same list. Needless to say, the man knows how to write, direct, and produce hits, although even he isn't immune to projects that fail to gain the interest of the masses.

In 2000, Cameron and Charles H. Eglee co-created "Dark Angel," a short-lived post-apocalyptic sci-fi action...

James Cameron turns 71 years old today, and in honor of the legendary director, let’s look at a simple yet profound phrase that connects two distinct movies from his filmography: Avatar and Titanic. “I see you,” are words that viewers might have overlooked, but you’ll hear them from Jack when Rose flips through his sketchbook.

Years later, Cameron elevated these words into the heartbeat of Avatar, where the Na’vi use them as a greeting, and it’s said multiple times in both installments during pivotal moments. It’s no coincidence that I See You is also the name of the Avatar theme song performed by Leona Lewis, where she repeats the same words in the chorus.

The recurrence suggests that “I see you” holds a deeper meaning, and it’s possibly a phrase that Cameron has embodied in all his pursuits.

One of the most exciting arrivals to the small screen this August has been Alien: Earth, with the first live-action episodic series to hail from the Alien franchise launching on FX on August 12. On that very same day, one of the new series' stars, Timothy Olyphant, is proving popular across the streaming board, with another of his sci-fi projects, this time one forgotten by many, officially topping the charts on Tubi.

At the time of writing, Dreamcatcheris officially the #1 most-streamed title on Tubi in the U.S. Directed by Star Wars veteran Lawrence Kasdan, the movie stars Olyphant alongside a stacked cast that includes Blue Bloods favorite Donnie Wahlberg, Morgan Freeman, Damian Lewis, and more.

With a stellar 96% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, the first two episodes of the eight-part sci-fi horror series Alien: Earth are now streaming on FX and FX on Hulu in the U.S., and on Jio Hotstar in India. But how does it stack up against the Alien film franchise — from Ridley Scott’s iconic 1979 classic and James Cameron’s acclaimed sequel, to the crossovers, prequels, and recent entries like Alien: Romulus, in terms of IMDb user ratings? Let’s take a look.

As fans of the Alien franchise catch up with the recent release of the FX TV series Alien: Earth, creatorNoah Hawleyhas decided to set the record straight about the series being canon, explaining how it fits into the horror sci-fi universe created by Ridley Scott in 1979. Hawley has already indicated that the series won't referencePrometheus or Alien: Covenant, the two Scott-directed prequels which, in their own ways, contributed to the franchise. Now, Hawley says that the series takes place within its own timeline, without necessarily following the rules of the previous movies.

In the game of crossovers and shared universes, rules are constantly being broken. Hawley is following the trend with Alien: Earth, the show that sees a crew on Earth discovering the remains of a spaceship that has crashed, and the unexpected threat that sits inside. When speaking to Radio Times at the Radio Times Writers' Room, Hawley explained...

It's been a roller coaster of a year at the box office, from the low lows of January when disappointments like "Wolf Man" were having to carry the load, to the high highs we've seen more recently with movies such as "Lilo & Stitch" over-delivering with $1 billion globally. But the biggest surprise of 2025 remains the Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2," which shattered records by making more than $2 billion earlier this year. Almost all of that money came from China, which is probably why most English-speaking folks in North America have never even heard of it. That narrative will be changing soon, though, if A24 has anything to say about it.

The studio behind "Everything Everywhere All at Once" is set to release an English-dubbed version of director Jiao Zi's smash hit in the U.S. on the weekend of August 22. While we can't say for sure how it's going to go,...

Jonathan Frakes confessed back in 2004 that he and his fellow actors did not feel any different about the pilot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, despite it being a franchise show. Tng became a global phenomenon after its release, taking the franchise to mainstream success and spinning off multiple shows and movies.

Frakes had been a regular guest spot actor on various TV shows until he played William Riker in Tng. While the show propelled him to mainstream popularity and he even found a second career in directing, with the show, he confessed that filming the pilot was no more special than the others he had auditioned for at the time (via IGN).

Every pilot season would come around and you’d audition for 20 pilots, and then you’d either get close or get one that didn’t go, so when Star Trek happened, it was, for most of us...

Seeing the footage from One Battle After Another, nobody would have bothered to compare it to the works of George Lucas or James Cameron. But that’s what star Leonardo DiCaprio has done, saying Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest shares themes with both.

DiCaprio is the current subject of an extensive interview in Esquire conducted by PTA. As DiCaprio — who recently revealed turning down Boogie Nights was his biggest career regret — put it, “There are themes of Star Wars and Terminator 2 in this. It’s interesting to see how you merged your vision of the zeitgeist—of what everyone’s talking about today politically—but with these very relatable themes for a larger audience.” DiCaprio even noted that there were Ellen’s of Walter Matthau’s character from The Bad News Bears!

While PTA didn’t entirely buy into those sci-fi vibes, he did add on to what DiCaprio...

Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth is at its best when it’s contrasting space monsters with our own species’ worst instincts. Spoilers ahead…

Nb: The following contains spoilers for Alien: Earth episodes one and two.

“You know Burke,” an exhausted and sickened Ripley said in Aliens, “I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage.”

Directed at the conniving Weyland-Yutani corporate stiff Burke (Paul Reiser) the line got to the heart of the twin horrors that have kept the Alien franchise going for over 45 years. These aren’t just stories about humans encountering a parasitic species from another world; they’re about the cold-blooded corporate interests which led to those encounters in the first place.

Ridley Scott’s Alien set the template in 1979. At the film’s midpoint, the crew of the Nostromo realise there are two monsters...

There’s a word I scribbled in my notes about the new “Red Sonja” that stands out among the rest. After pages full of sentences like “Science = Bad?” and “Why are scientists setting a fire during a rainstorm?” and “Sonja’s kidnapped horse is inexplicably imprisoned next to the important science orb of unspeakable power, because reasons?” there lies a single word. Underlined. And that word is … “Papyrus.”

Papyrus is not the most respectable of fonts. Even before “Saturday Night Live” correctly roasted James Cameron for spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the CGI in “Avatar” only to cheap out on the subtitles, papyrus was generic shorthand for kinda-old-looking-but-not-really. It’s the font middle schoolers use for the title of a history report, and an early sign that they’re going to get a B-. The fact that “Red Sonja” uses this font in its closing credits isn’t itself a problem.

Not every actor can afford to be picky about the roles they end up taking. It's a brutal industry to be selective in. But if you see an upcoming film that stars an actor like Leonardo DiCaprio, that means he truly believes in the project. The teen heartthrob turned Academy Award-winning actor boasts quite the filmography having worked with such celebrated filmmakers as James Cameron ("Titanic"), Christopher Nolan ("Inception"), Steven Spielberg ("Catch Me If You Can"), and Sam Raimi ("The Quick and the Dead"). Working with any one of those names would give you some boost of credibility, but the fact that he's also fostered a working relationship with the legendary Martin Scorsese across six (soon to be seven with "Devil in the White City") films in two decades is a real feather in his cap. And now DiCaprio's next big role comes to us courtesy of one of our...

Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights (1997) is one of the seminal works of the industry. Understandably, Leonardo DiCaprio would regret turning down the leading role that was offered to him by the director after seeing him in The Basketball Diaries. In his stead, DiCaprio suggested Basketball Diaries co-star Mark Wahlberg to be cast as the lead, since he had already signed on to do Titanic.

When asked about it later, DiCaprio revealed in a 2008 GQ interview that he regretted turning down one in favor of the other: “I think they’re both great and wish I could have done them both.” More recently, he sat down directly with P.T. Anderson for an Esquire cover story, where he touted the same:

My biggest regret is not doing ‘Boogie Nights’. It was a profound movie of my generation. I can’t imagine anyone but Mark [Wahlberg] in it. When I finally got to see that movie,...

Academy Award-winning star Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed which high-profile project he regrets not participating in. While he's been known for staying away from franchises, he's rarely talked about the roles he regrets passing on, regardless of the reason. In a recent interview, the Inception actor says the only movie he regrets not doing is the epic about the adult film industry starring Mark Wahlberg, Boogie Nights.

Perhaps DiCaprio's pick for biggest regret was influenced by the person who was interviewing him. The Killers of the Flower Moon performer recently sat down to chat with famed director Paul Thomas Anderson in a piece published by Esquire magazine. Anderson, the director of Boogie Nights as well as DiCaprio's upcoming film One Battle After Another, began the interview by asking the star if he had any regrets. The actor's answer was the following:

"I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, opens in theaters on September 26. Still, before the dark comedy’s premiere, Leo is opening up about a missed opportunity to partner with PTA that he regrets. Speaking with Variety about his upcoming collaboration with PTA, Leonardo DiCaprio revealed that the biggest regret of his career is turning down the chance to play Eddie Adams in Anderson’s 1997 dramedy Boogie Nights.

DiCaprio was Anderson’s first pick to play Eddie, the high school dropout who becomes John Holmes / Peter North levels of popular in the porn industry as the swingin’ dong with charisma, Dirk Diggler. The decision led to DiCaprio starring alongside Kate Winslet in James Cameron’s Titanic, which turned DiCaprio into a household name.

“I’ll say it even though you’re here: My biggest regret is not doing ‘Boogie Nights,'” DiCaprio admitted. “It was a profound movie of my generation.

Being one of the most anticipated new TV shows of the summer, expectations were high for Alien: Earth following a slew of incredible trailers and critical praise. Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 93%, the series made its long-awaited debut on FX and Hulu yesterday with a two-episode premiere, and while critics might have nothing but good things to say about it, the show's audience score proves you can't please everyone.

Hitting Rotten Tomatoes with a 78% rating from fans, things could certainly be a lot worse for Alien: Earth. It's nowhere near the low ratings of others in the franchise, like Alien Resurrection, which has just a 39% rating from the audience, or Alien 3, which sits at 46%. Still, with as much hype and praise as the series had from critics, one would think that it would've managed to at least reach Verified Hot status early on, and while it can certainly still achieve that feat,...
