Exclusive: Corey Hendrix (The Bear) and Ahmad Ferguson (The Chi) have joined Omar Epps, Wiz Khalifa, Quavo and Chukwudi Iwuji in gangland drama Moses the Black.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his G-Unit Film and Television are on board as executive producers with filming due to begin next week.

The pic is a story about a gangster in modern-day Chicago, inspired by the repentance story of the fifth-century saint of the same name. Epps plays Chicago gang leader and lead character Malik, with Khalifa as 2wo-3ree, the confident and volatile leader of Malik’s young crew. It marks the Grammy-nominated rapper’s second movie role and his first as one of the leads. Quavo plays Straw, Malik’s arch-nemesis. The title character, St. Moses the Black, is played by Iwuji.

Written and directed by Yelena Popovic (Man of God), producers on the film include Alexandros Potter and Popovic for Simeon Faith.

Black Bear is set to theatrically release “Christy,” starring Sydney Sweeney, Ben Foster, Merritt Wever and Katy O’Brian, the company announced on Thursday.

After having its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, it will be released in theaters nationwide on Nov. 7, serving as the inaugural film of Black Bear’s U.S. theatrical distribution slate.

The biopic, directed by Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner David Michôd, features a career-defining transformation by Sweeney into boxing legend Christy Martin.

“We’re thrilled about the upcoming release of Christy, a moving portrait of resilience and defiance from visionary filmmaker David Michôd,” Benjamin Kramer, Black Bear President of U.S. Distribution, said in a statement.

Black Bear’s fledgling US distribution venture has picked David Michôd’s boxing biopic Christy starring Sydney Sweeney as its first film and has scheduled a nationwide release on November 7. The drama gets its world premiere here at Toronto International Film Festival on Friday.

Christy went into TIFF technically as a sales title, however Thursday’s announcement was not entirely unexpected, given that Black Bear financed the film, is one of the producers, and handles international sales on the film.

UTA Independent Film Group and AC Independent co-represented US rights and negotiated the deal with Black Bear on behalf of the filmmaking team

US independent distributors have a lot on their minds heading into the 50th anniversary edition of Toronto International Film Festival, when their early fall festival appetite will come under scrutiny.

The theatrical space remains challenging. Few buyers have the wherewithal to compete with Hollywood majors and streamers, especially as platforms are said to be low-balling pay 1 and pay 2 licence fees that can help theatrical distributors afford minimum guarantees and robust release commitments.

Yet there are grounds for cautious optimism. Resourceful distributors continue to adapt and board projects earlier in the lifecycle to better compete with deep-pocketed rivals.

Attention to downstream revenue can be lucrative,...

Unlike Cannes or Berlin, Toronto has never been a market-first festival. But ahead of the launch of the official TIFF market next year, Toronto is looking to boost its industry credentials, positioning itself as the go-to for finished films — particularly mainstream English-language fare — without domestic distribution.

“Given the uncertainty in the movie exhibition space right now, [Toronto’s] going to give us a real snapshot of what the people who release movies think can work in the marketplace,” says Steven Soderbergh, who brings his latest, The Christophers, to TIFF without a distributor. “There’s no better barometer of what’s happening than a bunch of people who have to put movies out into theaters, making decisions about what they think can succeed.”

With prestige titles, bold debuts and star-driven dramas looking for homes, TIFF 2025 could prove a decisive test for the independent film business.

The 52nd Telluride Film Festival is now in the books. Margot Robbie, Ryan Coogler, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Rian Johnson, Janet Yang, Kathy Kennedy and Frank Marshall were among those who came just to watch movies. Screenings were introduced with a group meditation (Chloé Zhao), a song (Jesse Plemons) and a wave (man of few words Bruce Springsteen). Adam Sandler and Emma Stone posed for photos in the streets with ecstatic local schoolkids. And the Oscar race came into clearer focus.

Below, you can read my biggest awards-related takeaways from the fest.

Four high-profile films that already have U.S. distribution had their world premieres in Telluride: Ballad of a Small Player (Netflix), Bugonia (Focus), Hamnet (Focus) and Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (20th Century). How did they go over?

Focus has plenty of cause for celebration, as both Bugonia and Hamnet played like gangbusters and look almost certain to...

Exclusive: Mad Distribution has taken Arab theatrical rights for Kaouther Ben Hania’s Gaza drama The Voice of Hind Hajab, which was announced as Tunisia’s entry for the Best International Feature Film category of the 98th Academy Awards on Thursday.

Paris-based The Party Film Sales is handling worldwide sales on the title, while CAA Media Finance represents North American rights.

The drama reconstructs the events surrounding the killing of six-year-old Hind Rajab, her four cousins, her aunt and uncle, and the two paramedics who came to her rescue, after their car came under fire as they tried to flee Gaza City in January, 2024.

The killings took place some three months into Israel’s ongoing military operation in the Gaza Strip, sparked by the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 terror attacks, which killed 1,200 and resulted in 251 being taken.

With the death toll now standing at more than 61,000 people in Gaza, much of which...

As Spider-Man: Brand New Day ramps up production, the anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster calls on a beloved action movie icon to help legitimize its fight scenes. The Spider-Man sequel taps the legendary Jackie Chan, who reveals he recently visited the film's set.

Speaking with Hong Kong outlet HK01, Chan confirmed his stunt team is collaborating with the Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast and crew to assist with their fight scenes.

Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney’s long-awaited Elon Musk documentary has locked down a deal for a run in U.S. cinemas ahead of its streaming launch on HBO Max.

HBO Documentary Films and Universal Pictures have teamed up with indie distributor Bleecker Street to bring the film — which is titled, simply, Musk — to theaters. The partners describe the film as “an incisive look behind the legend of Elon Musk, the world’s most heralded ‘inventor-entrepreneur’ who has enormous influence on the world in which we all live.”

The deal was unveiled on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday’s kick-off of the Venice Film Festival in Italy.

Word leaked that Gibney was working on a Musk documentary as far back as March 2023, but the film has yet to receive a release date. HBO and its partners hint that Musk’s ongoing prominence in the global news cycle has made it challenging for...

There is undeniable chemistry between Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) in FX's hit series The Bear, but does that translate to something romantic? Many fans seem to think so, but Edebiri disagrees. The actress waded into the topic of pairing Carmy and Syd romantically and revealed that while she thinks everyone is entitled to their own interpretation, she doesn't think it's a good idea. “I feel like we’ve been saying since [Season] 1, but I don’t know if people are starting to believe us now,” Edebiri said in a recent interview.

The Bottoms star suggested that fans might confuse the passion the characters have for their...

Based on an infamous true story, this engrossing crime drama from director Peter Ho-Sun Chan stars Zhang Ziyi as a woman accused of killing her husband. Immersing us in the turbulent world of 1940s Shanghai, She Has No Name dazzlingly contrasts a grisly, intimate mystery with an era of sweeping transformation.

We first see Zhan-Zhou (Zhang) as she furtively boards a streetcar. In her arms is a canvas sack — soiled by a burgeoning bloodstain. She is arrested by Deputy Police Commissioner Xue (Lei Jiayin) for the murder and dismemberment of her husband (Wang Chuanjun), a pawnbroker and hapless gambler with the ominous nickname Big Bear.

Though neither the murder weapon...

Hello Kitty and her fellow Sanrio characters are cute and adorable in every season, with each occasion being made even better by their kawaii presence. That's especially the case for spooky season, with one frequent collaborator scaring up some Halloween fun.

A new collection of Halloween plushies from Build-a-Bear Workshop puts a bit of pumpkin spice into the Sanrio stable. Hello Kitty and three of her friends are partaking in the festivities, with customers able to dress them up in costumes that are both trick and treat. In fact, a few of the items are online-exclusive, so now's the time to order ahead before the end of October creeps closer.

The Bear star Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle have been set to make their Broadway debuts next spring in Proof, the first New York revival of David Auburn’s Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play.

Thomas Kail will direct the revival, which was announced Wednesday. It is scheduled to play a limited engagement at a Shubert theatre to be determined with previews beginning March 31, 2026 ahead of opening night April 16. Kail and Mike Bosner are producers.

Proof had its world premiere Off Broadway in 2000 and scored six Tony nominations after its Broadway transfer, winning three including for Best Play and Best Actress in a Play for its star Mary-Louise Parker. She played Catherine, a mathematical genius who fears she will struggle with mental illness just as did her father, also a mathematical genius, before his death. The story also involves her father’s graduate student who becomes entwined with Catherine as the authenticity...

After becoming a runaway sensation on Netflix last fall, thanks in part to a viral opening dance number set to a catchy Meghan Trainor song, The Perfect Couple became the latest "limited series" to potentially score a second season. Earlier this year, Netflix began development on a possible season 2 that would turn the Nicole Kidman hit into an anthology series.

The proposed second season would adapt another book by best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand, this time diving into her novel Swan Song. In June, Hilderbrand provided an update on season 2 that suggested things were heading in the right direction. She teased that she had drinks with season 2 showrunner Joanna Calo. However, just two months later, things have changed.

The Perfect Couple season 2 gets disappointing update

Deadline reported on Aug. 19 that Joanna Calo officially departed The Perfect Couple season 2 as its writer and showrunner. Should the series continue on, Calo will not...

Exclusive: Production has recently wrapped in Philadelphia on Joy Will Prevail, a period drama about the final three years in the life of architect Louis Kahn, and the relationships — both romantic and professional — that inspired his final residential commission.

The film stars Griffin Dunne (After Hours) as Kahn, alongside Alexis Bledel (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Rosenfield (Mickey and The Bear), Molly Ephraim (A League of Their Own), and Jennifer Beals (Flashdance). It is written and directed by Max Korman marking his feature debut.

Set in the early 1970s, Joy Will Prevail follows Kahn at the height of his career, designing monumental structures around the world, while quietly navigating a complex personal life: having fathered children with three different women – his wife, Esther Kahn (Beals), and two longtime partners, including landscape architect Harriet Pattison (Bledel) – all of whom live with the knowledge of one another.

When a young father, Steve Korman...

Exclusive: Netflix is going back to the drawing board on a potential second season of hit limited series The Perfect Couple.

As Deadline reported in March, the streamer has been developing a followup installment based on another Nantucket-set book by best-selling The Perfect Couple author Elin Hilderbrand, the 2024 novel Swan Song, with The Bear executive producer/co-showrunner Joanna Calo as writer/showrunner.

Calo has now exited the project, sources tell Deadline. There is no new writer attached yet to Swan Song, which remains in early development. A rep for Netflix, which has not confirmed the possible Perfect Couple second season yet, declined comment.

In Swan Song, a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons who throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and...

It was acclaimed upon its release at SXSW earlier this year, but it didn't get a distribution deal. Now, however, Matthew McConaughey's new crime thriller The Rivals of Amziah King is looking to come to a theater near you. Black Bear is working on a deal to screen the film in American theaters, according to reports. The film has not yet secured a release date, despite critical praise: the film currently holds a 97% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Some of this may be attributed to the turbulent nature of the current film business, which has already seen one major studio acquisition in the form of the Paramount-Skydance deal, and may see another,...

The Television Academy opened final voting for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards at 9 a.m. Pt on Monday, giving voters 10 days to decide which actors and series will take home television’s most prestigious honors.

Voting runs through 10 p.m. Pt on Aug. 27, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most competitive Emmy ceremonies in recent memory, where anything can happen.

To recap the awards season, HBO Max dominated this year’s nominations with a record-breaking 142 nods — surpassing the platform’s previous high of 140 in 2022. The haul was powered by heavy hitters including “The Penguin,” which led all limited series with the most nominations in that category, in addition to other returning favorites like “The White Lotus,” “The Last of Us” and “Hacks.”

Two shows emerged as undeniable nomination juggernauts. Apple TV+’s workplace thriller “Severance” racked up 27 nominations, while its satirical Hollywood comedy “The Studio...

After making its debut at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival back in March this year, Matthew McConaughey’s highly rated crime thriller has finally taken a step towards theatrical distribution. The move comes courtesy of Black Bear, with the studio, which only launched a U.S distribution division this year, choosing the thriller as its first release.

Written and directed by Andrew Patterson, the crime thriller in question is The Rivals of Amziah King, which stars Matthew McConaughey as the titular Amziah King alongside Kurt Russell, Cole Sprouse, Owen Teague, Scott Shepherd, Rob Morgan, Tony Revolori, Jake Horowitz, and Angelina LookingGlass. The movie now boasts a near-perfect score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Black Bear’s fledgling US theatrical distribution operation is reportedly weighing up taking on US rights to The Rivals Of Amziah King starring Matthew McConaughey, which garnered strong reviews after its SXSW world premiere earlier this year.

Black Bear fully financed, produced and launched international sales in Cannes two years ago on the Oklahoma-set crime drama about a beekeeper who reconnects with his foster daughter and investigates a crime.

The feature drew a rousing response from the SXSW audience in Austin, Texas, but has remained on the table until now.

However with a pipeline to fill, ambitious Black Bear may...

After three successful years, theUK’s National Cinema Day has been put on hold, although it may be revived next year.

The late summer, one-day initiative launched in its current incarnation in 2022 and offered cinema-goers across the UK and Ireland the chance to watch films for £3 or £4.

Cross-industry body Cinema First, supported by the Film Distributors’ Association and the UK Cinema Association, organised the event which was established as the sector was emerging from the pandemic. It was inspired by the original UK “National Cinema Day” held in June 1996, a period when attendances were dipping, with tickets selling for one pound.

Black Bear Pictures has hired former Lionsgate executive David Spitz as head of U.S. theatrical distribution.

In his new role, Spitz will manage the theatrical release of up to 12 movies per year for the indie studio, curating a slate of auteur-driven films and genre fare. He’ll report to Benjamin Kramer, the president of the company’s newly created U.S. theatrical distribution division.

“David is one of the most respected and accomplished distribution executives in the theatrical business,” said Kramer. “He has a fantastic track record of shepherding the work of outstanding filmmakers and delivering commercial hits to wide audiences. His deep relationships with exhibitors, and proven instincts for release strategies, make him an ideal addition to our growing team. We at Black Bear are deeply excited to work alongside him in delivering transportive theatrical experiences to audiences.”

Added Spitz, “I’m thrilled to join Black Bear at this exciting moment,...

Harry Potter is back in the news after Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav revealed on an earnings call that the plan is for the new Harry Potter show to run for a decade on HBO Max.

Let's just say fans reacted the exact way we expected they would. Taking a quick look at the reactions online, some fans were happy, but the majority of fans were stunned that the series would take that long. There are even accusations of Warner Bros. stretching it out. Other fans couldn't believe how old the cast will be by the time the series finishes.

While I do think the episode counts are going to be an issue in the future, we should also remember it took a decade-ish to film and release all eight Harry Potter movies. So, I don't totally understand the outrage. There was no way they were going to do more...

There has been a lot of vehicular action spotted on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth in the Tom Holland series of Spidey movies. Filming is currently taking place in Glasgow, Scotland, with the city standing in for New York City, and we’ve previously seen an armored vehicle ripping through the streets, with Spider-Man and the police in pursuit. Now, locals have spotted the van driven by Spidey’s fellow hero The Punisher on set – and, of course, they have provided some pictures of the vehicle. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is directing Spider-Man: Brand New Day from a screenplay by Chris McKenna, who has worked on all three of the previous Holland films. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man. Brand New Day finds Jon Bernthal playing Frank Castle,...

After creating the Thanksgiving faux trailer for the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse back in 2007, Eli Roth wanted to make an entire feature out of faux trailers, a project he called Trailer Trash. Trailers he teased for that included Nascar Dog, Bear Witness, and Farmageddon, plus collaborations with Edgar Wright, Robert Rodriguez, Peter Berg, Howard Stern, and Greg Nicotero, among others. Sadly, Trailer Trash never happened – but we did get a Thanksgiving movie eventually, and now it looks like Roth has found a roundabout way to make his Trailer Trash dreams come true. Last week, he released a faux trailer called The Piano Killer, which will be playing in theatres with the bonkers splatterfest Jimmy and Stiggs. Now, he has released another faux trailer! This one is called Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! and will also be attached to Jimmy and Stiggs in theatres. You can...

After creating the Thanksgiving faux trailer for the Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse back in 2007, Eli Roth wanted to make an entire feature out of faux trailers, a project he called Trailer Trash. Trailers he teased for that included Nascar Dog, Bear Witness, and Farmageddon, plus collaborations with Edgar Wright, Robert Rodriguez, Peter Berg, Howard Stern, and Greg Nicotero, among others. Sadly, Trailer Trash never happened – but we did get a Thanksgiving movie eventually. And today, a new Roth faux trailer has dropped online! It’s called The Piano Killer and it will be playing in theatres with the bonkers splatterfest Jimmy and Stiggs, but you can watch it right now in the embed above.

Note that the faux trailer for The Piano Killer ends with the promise that the film is coming in 2042, a nod to the fact that it took seventeen years for the Thanksgiving movie to get made.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has unveiled the lineup for its 2025 Short Cuts programme, celebrating the 50th edition of TIFF with a bold collection of 48 short films from 28 countries, including 20 Canadian works. From world premieres led by A-list talent to daring experimental shorts, this year’s selection reflects TIFF’s increasingly global curatorial reach.

Headlining the announcement are three major world premieres: "Dust to Dreams" by Idris Elba, "The Contestant" from Patrick Xavier Bresnan and Ivete Lucas (The Passing), featuring David Hasselhoff, and "Disc" by Cannes alum Blake Winston Rice, co-written by and starring Victoria Ratermanis and Jim Cummings.

Joecar Hanna’s "Talk Me," executive produced by Spike Lee, makes its North American premiere, as does "The Non-Actor" starring Maya Hawke and Victoria Pedretti. The documentary "All the Empty Rooms" from Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Joshua Seftel, executive produced by Adam McKay, will have its international premiere.

For the first time,...

George Clooney is one of the most beloved and successful actors in the world, which only makes it that much more surprising to learn his first-ever movie was a total disaster. "Grizzy II: Revenge" was a horror thriller about a grizzly bear who goes on a deadly rampage. However, despite being shot in 1983, the film was put on the shelf since it was unable to finish some of its special effects due to a lack of funding. But while it was initially expected to only be delayed by a few years, the "Grizzly" sequel wound up being postponed for four decades, eventually being released to the public in 2021.

You might think Clooney would be excited for his intended-debut film to finally release, but the actor reacted to the news more with lighthearted dread. "I haven't seen it — and I don't know that I want to," Clooney told The Sun in...

Updated: Sony has revealed another glimpse of Tom Holland’s new Spidey suit. As you can see above, we get a much better look at the webslinging hero’s new outfit. Plus, Mark Ruffalo will join Spider-Man: Brand New Day as The Hulk, and other cast members will no doubt soon be announced, making this one of the more anticipated movies of the next few years.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are swinging into August with a blink-and-you-missed-it teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In a video shared to social media, Holland’s new Spidey suit emerges from the shadows, giving us a brief look at the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler’s new threads. The suit appears deep red with thick black lining (webbing). Then again, the shot of the rotating suit is dark Af, so that I could be way off.

“Something brand new is coming… #SpiderManDay,” reads the post.

The 80s were a time when country music and a type of hero born of the good ol boy class that came into his own. This could be seen in shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, Bj and The Bear, as well as movies like Any Which Way But Loose and Smokey and the Bandit. They were a time of what would be considered fun action films and TV. Again, this was personified in shows where usually no one got seriously hurt, like The A-Team. The bad guys went to the same shooting school as your friendly neighborhood Stormtroopers. But, one TV show that would personify this “nobody better get hurt” adventure series was The Fall Guy.

The series was designed as a vehicle for star Lee Majors, who had become a household name thanks to The Six Million Dollar Man, but struggled to find a worthy follow-up. This would be it,...

After The Social Networkconnected with audiences in 2010, the long-awaited follow-up is rounding out its cast. Despite his gripping performance in the first film, Jesse Eisenberg won't return as the Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

According to Deadline, Jeremy Strong is the top choice to play Zuckerberg in The Social Network Part II. The actor is currently in talks with Sony Pictures about the role, though no formal offer has been presented. Strong is set to star in the sequel alongside Academy Award-winning actor Mikey Madison and The Bear's Jeremy Allen White, who are also in talks for important roles.

Strong has earned many accolades in his distinguished career, including a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy Award and a Tony Award. He took home the Golden Globe and Emmy for his portrayal of Kendall Roy in the critically acclaimed HBO satirical black comedy-drama, Succession. His most recent film credits include The Trial of the Chicago 7,...

Chris Willingham, the veteran film editor who cut 24, The X-Files, Millennium, Harsh Realm and The Others, has died. He was 74.

The three-time Emmy Award winner died of a heart attack at home in Los Angeles on June 28, the WME agency confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lynne Willingham, who survives Chris as his wife of 37 years, added in a statement: “Chris was an intuitive editor. He was a gifted storyteller. His pacing and choices were incredibly beautiful. You could tell when watching a series if it was his episode. He was just always in the right place at the right time. You can’t really teach that. He was funny and smart, and I was so very lucky to have him not only as my wonderful husband but as my creative partner! We were a great team.”

Born on Dec. 25, 1950, his career over four decades included film editing credits for Space Above and Beyond,...

Chris Willingham, who won three Emmys as editor of Fox’s 24, worked on such hit shows as The X-Files and Millennium and was Stephen J. Cannell’s go-to cutter on series ranging from The A-Team and Hunter to 21 Jump Street, has died. He was 74.

A rep for his family said he died June 28 of a heart attack at his Los Angeles home.

Willingham editor dozens of TV series during his nearly 40-year career, starting out with episodes of B.J. and the Bear and The Greatest American Hero. His work on the latter got prolific series creator Cannell’s attention and landed him a more regular gig on the 1980s NBC action series The A-Team. He edited more than 25 episodes of the show starring George Peppard and Mr. T, working on all five its seasons.

His work with Cannell continued on the Fred Dryer-led cop drama Hunter, along with J.

“What happened to feminism, huh? Is that dead?”

We use the term Mama Bear to describe a woman who appears cuddly and nurturing while interacting with her children, but will viciously attack anyone who puts them in danger. This ferocious streak often appears out of nowhere, shocking those who dare to cross her path. She will do anything to protect her young and doesn’t care how monstrous she appears to the rest of the world. When viewed from inside the circle of her protection, she’s an empowering embodiment of female strength. But should you find yourself on the outside, beware her fierce dedication and surprising power.

Elizabeth Banks’ 2023 film Cocaine Bear cuts to the heart of this fascinating archetype with an actual bear determined to protect her young. Inspired by a true story, this bombastic film explores a world of flawed caregivers who find themselves in the den of a deadly mama bear.

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Revival season 1, episode 8.As Syfy's Revival season 1 nears its end, the comic book adaptation's creators have shared some insights into how the show will solve Em's (Romy Weltman) murder and other lingering mysteries. Almost all the reviews for Revival have highlighted the show's twisty mystery, but it's been hard to tell how everything will play out. Revival's creators, however, have hinted at what's in store for the season 1 finale.

During a group interview with ScreenRant's Joe Deckelmeier and the cast and crew of Revival at San Diego Comic-Con, co-creators Luke Boyce and Aaron B. Koontz spoke about what's in store for the final three episodes of the Syfy show. Koontz first mentioned that Revival season 1's finale is building up to some huge reveals about Em's murder.

Joe Deckelmeier:

I want to talk about that, because episode 8 is kind of like a turning point in this show.

The suits at Marvel are no doubt breathing a sigh of relief this weekend, as Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally broken the studio’s recent streak of underwhelming box office openings. While its $118 million debut isn’t quite the juggernaut it would have been during Marvel’s peak—Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania opened to $120 million just three years ago and was considered a disappointment—it’s still a welcome rebound after Captain America: Brave New World ($88 million) and Thunderbolts ($75 million). We expected it to open lower in our predictions. That said, it does fall slightly short of James Gunn’s Superman, which opened two weeks ago to $125 million.

Still, it’s a major win for Marvel’s First Family, whose cinematic track record has been less than stellar. The original 2000s Fantastic Four films debuted to $56 and $57 million respectively, while the ill-fated 2015 reboot sputtered out with just $25.6 million. This...

"Oh, Hi!" starts off like a rom-com, but also like a horror movie. We meet Iris (Molly Gordon) and her boyfriend Isaac (Logan Lerman) as they spend a nice weekend up in a secluded house out of the city, and during that first day, everything seems suspiciously perfect. Indeed, Iris and Isaac seem to be getting along a little too well, and we know this wouldn't be much of a movie if nothing went wrong.

Finally, the penny drops: While Isaac is handcuffed to a bed post-coitus, he reveals that he's not ready for a relationship. Iris is baffled, because it sure seemed like she and Isaac were already in a relationship. But Isaac doesn't see it this way. Despite inviting her for a weekend getaway upstate and being romantic with her throughout the whole first act, he doesn't see Iris as his girlfriend and has zero interest in letting that happen.

FX's comedy drama, The Bear, debuted its fourth season on June 25, and not long after, the series was renewed for a fifth season. According to Nielsen, The Bear was the seventh most-streamed title in the U.S. during the week of its fourth season premiere, as it hit an impressive 917 million minutes watched between June 23 to June 29. Despite such a notable tally, it falls short of the series' third installment. The Season 3 premiere of The Bear reached a collosal 1.2 billion minutes within a similar timeframe, with Season 4's numbers showing a drop-off of approximately 24%. The drop perhaps raises questions about the Emmy-winning series' long-term momentum despite critical acclaim.

It is, however, important to put these numbers into context. The Bear has enjoyed a four-season run so far, with a fifth confirmed in early July. Season 3's total of 1.2 billion minutes represents a series high, with Season 2 and Season 1 clocking...

Months after the world gushed over Josh Hartnett’s casting in the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity, the 47-year-old actor landed another gig in a similarly thrilling production. In May 2022, Hartnett was announced as the lead of an untitled Netflix limited series, marking the first cast member to be revealed. This new project is described as an eerie supernatural thriller set in Newfoundland, where it is currently being filmed.

As production is fully underway, fans can get a glimpse of Hartnett behind the scenes thanks to What’s on Netflix’s newly-released set photos, which were taken on July 19, per SplashNews. At the time, the actor was filming scenes in remote areas of Newfoundland, and as seen in the images, he was working on the deck of a boat named “High Hopes” with several crew members. In addition to Hartnett, other stars confirmed to appear are Mackenzie Davis...

After smashing Sundance with its horror breakout hit “Together” starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, the Melbourne-based company Princess Pictures is poised to expand its footprint in the feature film arena with a raft of bold projects boasting award-winning talent and creatives.

The Bear on Hulu is admired for its portrayal of raw visuals, high-pressure environment, and chef life with genuineness and without filters. There are times when the makers can leave out a detail deliberately or sometimes just miss it.

Following this, The Bear is making rounds on Reddit for its one missed fact. While it’s a fan instinct to dig out a character’s backstory, one such thing came to the forefront that has got social media thinking. The lack of precision in telling about Carmy’s backstory in Season 3. Given the bear’s reputation for its attention to detail, the perceived ‘flaw’ regarding his culinary award nomination might have a simpler explanation than a continuity error.

Even if Molly Gordon wasn't a recurring star on The Bear, she'd be rooting for the much-lauded FX series to win all of the 13 Emmys it's up for this year. "It was my favorite show before I was on it," the actress tells Gold Derby while promoting the release of her upcoming film, Oh, Hi!

Her cinematic partners — costar Logan Lerman and director Sophie Brooks — are in full agreement. Speaking with us ahead of the movie's July 25 theatrical release, all three offer a hearty "Yes, chef!" when asked if they're excited for The Bear's third bite at the Emmy apple.

What if you are told that your favourite dramedy on Hulu, The Bear, was an idea for a movie? Yes, you heard it right. In an interview with Esquire, the Emmy-winning show’s creator, Christopher Storer, opened up about how turning the show into a movie almost doomed him. He said,

I was writing this thing as a movie at one point, but every time I would take five steps, some chef would be like, ‘Don’t do it, because it’s gonna f*in’ suck.

The visionary further emphasized the show’s creation and the casting, and looked out for the themes that could justify the Hulu show in the best possible way. Furthermore, the show is set to be revived for its fifth season.

The Primetime Emmys have released their nominations for the 2025 ceremony, and the nominees are certainly interesting. This year was extremely impressive and fulfilling for television, with some projects continuing their stories and others starting new ones. However, four shows have specifically stood out, and their varying genres are impressive.

While The White Lotus and The Bear are recurring nominees for the Emmy Awards, Adolescence and The Pitt have just been released this year. This does not mean that they are far behind, with both having significant cultural and critical impact. With this, one cannot help but wonder what show will dominate this year.

FX’s The Bear season 5 is happening and fans can’t wait to see where the story goes next. The show has garnered 13 Emmy Award nominations at the 77th Emmy Awards. This includes the Best Comedy Series and Best Directing for a Comedy Series for Ayo Edebiri, among others. Edebiri also got nominated in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category while Jeremy Allen White snagged a spot on the Best Actor in a Comedy Series list.

Created by Christopher Storer, The Bear stormed into the cultural zeitgeist by offering something different- a high-stakes restaurant kitchen drama blended with emotional storytelling. Over the years, the series has built a loyal fanbase and garnered critical acclaim thanks to its multiple Emmy wins.

The Bear season 5 is all set to add on to the momentum with new characters and plotlines as it explores the ramifications of Carmy’s decision to leave the restaurant.
