Chris Pratt has become a major blockbuster star thanks to his role in the Marvel and Jurassic World franchises, but just like the rest of us, he does have some favorite shows to watch. One of Pratt’s personal favorites is The Chosen, the faith-based series starring Jonathan Roumie as Jesus that’s currently streaming on Prime Video. Pratt has been open about his praise for the show, even going as far as calling it “incredible pop culture canon.”All five seasons of The Chosen are currently streaming on Prime Video, and the show is still dominating streaming charts, sitting in the top 10 in the United States and dozens of other countries.

The new drama from The Chosencreator Dallas Jenkins casts a Bridgerton star, with the Biblical series moving forward at Prime Video. Since its debut in December 2017, The Chosen has been one of the most consistent hits on streaming. It has also proven to be a reliable box office player, with the franchise grossing $140 million worldwide from its various theatrical runs.

That success was part of why Amazon MGM Studios signed a deal with Jenkins' 5&2 Studios earlier this year. As part of the agreement, Prime Video is now the U.S. streaming home for The Chosen. But the deal also includes developing further projects and new dramas. One of those projects, which involves a key biblical name, is taking a major step forward.

Prime Video has announced that it has ordered Joseph of Egypt to series, with Bridgerton's Adam Hashmi set to star in the lead role of Joseph. Hashmi...

The eight-episode story takes audiences back to the Old Testament. It follows Joseph, the beloved son of Jacob, whose jealous brothers betray him. After facing hardship, Joseph rises to power in Egypt and becomes a trusted advisor to Pharaoh.

But when his past returns, he must make a tough choice that could destroy everything he has built.

The cast also includes Alexander Siddig as Jacob, Babak Tafti as Simeon, Daniel Peera as Reuben, and Iris Bahr as Leah. Other actors joining the project are Dakota Shapiro, Tannaz Shastiri, Ruben Vernier,...

As of right now, a release window has yet to be set, but we do know that filming is already underway in New Mexico.

Over eight episodes, the miniseries will turn the pages back from The Chosen’s exploration of the New Testament to the much, much earlier days of the Old Testament and delve into the tale of Joseph (Hashmi). The well-known story follows the favorite and most beloved...

Doug Liman has been set to take the helm on the adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ at Paramount Pictures.

The story of good vs. evil takes place in an America after a virus wipes out most of the population and follows dozens of characters in overlapping storylines running over many years. And while readers root for the characters, such as the Trashcan Man and Mother Abigail, the showdown came down to a group of survivors fighting the Antichrist-like Randall Flagg in the wasteland known as Las Vegas.

Also in news – Dave Bautista sought for Guy Ritchie’s ‘Roadhouse 2’

Liman will also produce alongside Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures. The two previously worked together on the 2017 Tom Cruise crime drama ‘American Made.’

The project will now head to writers to pen an adaptation of what is King’s longest work. The story was previously adapted twice as a mini-series,...

Doug Liman has been set to direct a feature version of Stephen King’s 1978 post-apocalyptic fantasy novel The Stand for Paramount Pictures.

Liman will produce with Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures and Paramount is believed to be fast-tracking development.

The epic King novel is about the aftermath of a pandemic of weaponised influenza that causes the surviving humans to divide into good and evil factions.

The novel has been filmed twice before, both times as a TV miniseries. A 1994 version for ABC starred Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald, and a 2021 version for then streamer CBS All Access featured James Marsden and Odessa Young.

A movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand is in the works. Originally published in 1978, the classic Stephen King book follows characters during and after the outbreak of a virus that kills 99.4% of the world's population, and the epic battle of good versus evil that ensues. The Stand has been adapted as a television miniseries twice, with the first adaptation in 1994 starring Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, and Jamey Sheridan. The second adaptation, whose cast includes James Marsden, Alexander Skarsgård, and Whoopi Goldberg, was released in 2020.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a movie adaptation of The Stand is in development at Paramount Pictures with Doug Liman attached as the director. Liman, who has previously directed The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Edge of Tomorrow, and the Jake Gyllenhaal Road House remake, will produce alongside Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures. The search will now begin for writers to adapt The Stand,...

Stephen King has written over 60 novels and novellas in his long career, as well as over 200 short stories, yet Hollywood’s obsession with adapting the same ones over and over again has reached a new level with the news that one of King’s longest single-volume novels is about to be remade just five years since it was last adapted.

This year, King fans will be terrified by Pennywise the Clown all over again in a prequel series to the hit movie adaptation of It, have already seen Salem’s Lot, The Monkey and The Life of Chuck, and have a future littered with more King projects like The Long Walk, Cujo, Carrie, TheDark Tower, Fairy Tale and many more. Now, though, one of the most unexpected and questionable adaptations has been revealed by The Hollywood Report, with word that Road House director Doug Liman is attached to helm a single-movie version of The Stand.

Doug Liman is set to direct The Stand, a theatrical adaptation of Stephen King’s New York Times bestseller for Paramount Pictures, Deadline has confirmed.

Liman will also produce alongside Tyler Thompson, with whom he previously worked on Tom Cruise starrer American Made. No word yet on who will adapt the screenplay.

One of King’s most iconic novels, published in 1978, The Stand is a post-apocalyptic horror epic that explores the battle between good and evil after a man-made plague wipes out much of the global population. The surviving humans are divided into two factions: one, led by the kind-hearted, moral Stu Redman, who gathers followers in the ruins of Boulder, Colorado; the other, led by the sinister Randall Flagg, a demonic figure who gathers his own army in Las Vegas.

Previously adapted as miniseries in 1994 and 2019 — for ABC, and CBS All Access, respectively — the book has also been eyed...

Stephen King’s “The Stand” is getting a new adaptation, with Paramount securing Doug Liman to direct the new adaptation of the author’s apocalyptic 1978 tome.

Liman will also produce along with Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures, with the two previously collaborating on “American Made,” the based-on-a-true-story drama starring Tom Cruise.

Largely thought to be one of King’s greatest accomplishments, “The Stand” takes place in the aftermath of a pandemic caused by a weaponized virus (dubbed Captain Trips), where the survivors are either swayed by the forces of good or those of evil, personified by Randall Flagg, who would go on to become a recurring figure in some of King’s other work, most notably the “Dark Tower” series of novels.

In 1990 King updated and expanded the novel, moving the events from 1980 to 1990 and including more than 400 pages that were cut from the initial printing. The resulting book,...

Stephen King’s “The Stand” may finally be heading to the big screen.

Filmmaker Doug Liman is attached to direct a feature film of the post-apocalyptic bestseller for Paramount Pictures, with Cross Creek Pictures’ Tyler Thompson on board to produce. The project does not yet have a script, however, so development may take some time as Liman and the studio winnow King’s novel — which runs 1,153 pages in its 1990 unabridged version — into a single movie. But the studio sees the movie as a priority and is moving forward aggressively to make it happen.

“The Stand,” first published in 1978, was previously adapted as a television miniseries for ABC in 1994, starring Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Ruby Dee and Laura San Giacomo; and again for Paramount+ (née CBS All Access) in 2020, starring James Marsden, Odessa Young, Alexander Skarsgard, Whoopi Goldberg and Amber Heard. However, the story’s epic scope — using the...

THR reports that Doug Liman is set to direct The Stand for Paramount Pictures. The novel, which is considered to be one of Stephen King’s best, deals with a deadly pandemic that kills nearly the entire population. The survivors are drawn to two opposing communities, one led by the kind, prophetic Mother Abagail and the other by the sinister, demonic Randall Flagg. This all leads to a final battle between good and evil. The search is now on for a writer to tackle the project. In addition to directing, Liman will also produce alongside Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures.

At 1,152 pages, The Stand is King’s longest book. While you might think that Paramount will be viewing this as something that will span multiple films, sources tell THR that “Liman and the studio have a particular take and that the feature would be a one-off, not a multi-movie endeavor.

Paramount Pictures and Doug Liman are taking a stand. The Stand, as a matter of fact.

The studio and the filmmaker are teaming up to adapt Stephen King’s magnum opus. Liman is attached to direct the feature and will produce along with Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures. The two previously teamed to make the 2017 Tom Cruise crime drama American Made.

The project will now head to writers to pen an adaptation of King’s longest work, with a page count of 1,152. It will instantly become one of the hottest writing assignments in town.

The book, first published in 1978, then revised in 1990, is a bar-setting literary masterpiece that has influenced pop culture, from television shows such as Lost to musical acts such as Metallica to various forms of postapocalyptic literature.

An ambitious story of good versus evil, it takes place in an America after a virus wipes out most...

New episodes of The Chosen arrived on Prime Video on Sunday, and although the show debuted its first batch of Season 5 episodes in one of the top spots, it hasn’t continued this trend with the second drop. The Chosen is now sitting at #6 on Prime Video at the time of writing, falling several spots despite the release of Episodes 3-5. This is the opposite of what most fans were expecting to happen, as it seemed likely that the show would continue to climb as more of Season 5 becomes available to watch. However, this may very well be a temporary setback, and it’s possible thatThe Chosen could climb even to the top spot before the end of the week. The final three episodes premiere this Sunday, June 29.

While many productions are getting shut down as a result of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, one exception that has been permitted to keep filming is The Chosen, a faith-based series following Jesus Christ.

Last week, The Chosen creator Dallas Jenkins spoke about his hopes for the show's production to be granted an exemption, this coming with the project around two weeks away from wrapping on Season 4. On Monday, Jenkins announced that The Chosen had been approved by SAG for a waiver, allowing shooting to resume that day. Jenkins followed this up by further speaking about the situation with Deadline on Tuesday, explaining how the series was able to be granted this exemption.

Currently, production on the fourth season of the faith-based series The Chosen is underway, reportedly scheduled to wrap in about two weeks.

Antlers director Scott Cooper‘s serial killer thriller The Pale Blue Eye, which includes legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe among its cast of characters, received a limited theatrical release on December 23rd, and is now set to reach the Netflix streaming service this Friday, January 6th. With its Netflix debut so close, this seemed like a good time to share a batch of character posters that offer a look at the characters that Christian Bale (The Dark Knight), Harry Melling (The Queen’s Gambit), Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody), and the great Robert Duvall (The Godfather) play in the film.

Christian Bale plays an 1830s detective tasked with solving a series of grisly, possibly cult-related murders in Netflix’s ice-cold thriller, “The Pale Blue Eye.” Watch the first trailer above.

Scott Cooper’s film, which the streamer acquired last year in a 55 million deal, takes place at West Point Academy, a military training school. When a cadet turns up dead, its leadership turns to Augustus Landor (Bale) for help – a local detective who, if rumors are true, “once elicited a confession with nothing more than a piercing look”.

The trailer opens on a wintry landscape, where Landor contemplates the crime at hand – a soldier has been hanged, with his heart expertly cut out from his chest.

In the trailer for upcoming film “Pale Blue Eye,” Christian Bale is investigating a murder in 1830s upstate New York.

Netflix has released the first look at the American Gothic mystery film, in which Bale plays veteran detective Augustus Landor. Based on Louis Bayard’s 2006 novel of the same name, the film follows Landor as he is called to investigate a killing at the United States Military Academy in West Point. With a serial killer on the prowl, Augustus enlists Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling) to help him solve the case. Poe, the renowned writer and poet known for “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “A Dream Within a Dream,” is introduced as young cadet at the military academy.

“Down, down, down came the hot thrashing flurry,” Melling’s Poe says in a teaser released on Oct. 27. “Darkest night, black with hell-charneled fury, leaving only that deathly pale blue eye.

Based on Louis Bayard’s book of the same name, the 1830-set movie sees Bale portray Augustus Landor, a former police detective who’s been called upon to unravel the murder of a cadet at West Point. Things take a darker turn when, after the body is moved to the morgue, it’s uncovered that his heart has been removed.

Up against a seemingly unbreakable code of silence among the cadets and the pressures of a fledging academy desperate to protect its reputation, the world-weary detective turns to one of their own to help him solve the case. That man, with his disdain for the military’s rigors and a penchant for poetry, will become known as Edgar Allan Poe.
