Netflix's hit action comedy series Fubar, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, has finally returned with Season 2. While the first season failed to impress critics, it seems Fubar has moved up the action series ladder with a much-improved installment that defies expectations.

As of this writing, Fubar Season 2 has a 67% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, based on six reviews. This is a notable improvement from the first season, which currently has a rotten 58% rating based on 64 reviews. Of course, the number for Fubar Season 2 will likely fluctuate over the next week as more people view the series, which begins streaming on Netflix starting Jun. 12. However, it is a good sign of things to come for the return of the action series. Fubar follows a father-daughter CIA operative duo played by Schwarzenegger and Academy Award-nominee Monica Barbaro.

We’re talking exes with grenades, identity crises with punchlines, and one seriously awkward dance scene. Oh, and did we mention Carrie-Anne Moss is joining the fun? Here’s everything you need to know before Fubar Season 2 drops Thursday, June 12 on Netflix.

When I first learned that Sly Stallone had it out for Eddie Murphy, I assumed it was because Murphy became a mega movie star after taking over for the Rocky star in Beverly Hills Cop. But that comedy’s success wasn’t why Stallone was irate with Murphy — it was a behind-the-scenes rumor on another movie that generated the beef.

First, some background. Stallone was hired to star in Beverly Hills Cop while Murphy was still an up-and-coming comic on Saturday Night Live. The original screenplay had plenty of comedy elements, but Stallone rewrote the script to crank up the action elements. According to Far Out, Sly’s version of the story would have ended with a showdown between a Lamborghini and a freight train. Sounds like Stallone, all right.

Hot off of 48 Hrs., Murphy took over the role, improvised his way through filming, and became a global movie star.

Arnold said he'll be back, and he meant it! Fubar season 2 starring the man, the myth, the legend, and Patrick's dad Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to Netflix this summer.

According to a report from Tudum, Fubar season 2 premieres on Netflix on Thursday, June 12! That's a little bit earlier than I was planning to see the new season of the series, but hey, we'll definitely take it!

First look at Fubar season 2

In addition to announcing the premiere date, Netflix shared the first look at Fubar season 2. Check out the first images from the new season.

As you'll see in the images, we have all the main cast of Fubar season 1 returning, including Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro. Carrie-Anne Moss also joins the cast of season 2 as Greta Nelso, Luke's ex-wife and Emma's mom.

Fubar season 2 also stars Milan Carter, Jay Baruchel, Fortune Feimster, Guy Burnet, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Aparna Brielle,...

In 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the action comedy Fubar. The series was renewed for Season 2, which has added a new lead actor, and set a release date.

Fubar Season 2 started production in late May 2024, as the show set a new world record: the biggest action figure ever. The actor promised he'll "be back" as Luke Brunner, and that is closer than ever. Netflix confirmedFUBAR Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on June 12.

Following the renewal announcement, creator Nick Santora promised: "Season 2 is bananas. We’re coming up with some real fun surprises for Fubar fans in Season 2, for sure."

It was also previously revealed that Carrie-Anne Moss joined Fubar Season 2. The actress plays Greta Nelso, a former German spy with a strong history with the CIA, and also Luke's ex.

"They are icons," Santora praised Moss and Schwarzenegger. "They know how to do action, be funny, and create full and engaging characters.

Only last month, we heard fantastic news about the long-awaited Red Sonja reboot, which is scheduled to debut later this year in the U.K., and now there’s an even better update. On Wednesday, March 26, ComicBook reported that the upcoming pic had just received its official MPA rating, confirming that it will indeed be out on screens soon. Red Sonja (2025) is rated R for “strong/bloody violence,”with the site naming Samuel Goldwyn Films, LLC as its U.S. distributor, a new development for the film. While fans in the U.K. can expect a 2025 release for Red Sonja thanks to Signature Entertainment, plans for a U.S. launch are yet to be announced. Nevertheless, Samuel Goldwyn Films President Peter Goldwyn expressed anticipation in a statement via Deadline, saying:

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Red Sonja to audiences across the nation. The fanbase for the legendary character is big and passionate,...

Red Sonjahas released a new image of its titular warrior, played by Matilda Lutz, as the reboot receives a long-awaited update that will delight fans of the franchise. Per Deadline, Samuel Goldwyn Films has snagged the U.S. distribution rights to the movie, which is set to hit theaters this year. Studio president Peter Goldwyn has also asserted his belief that the new version of the swords and sorcery story, directed by M. J. Bassett, will satisfy audiences who are familiar with Red Sonja and her storied history in comic books and on screen.

"We're thrilled to be bringing Red Sonja to audiences across the nation. The fanbase for the legendary character is big and passionate, and we're confident that this film will deliver for them."

The comic book character Red Sonja is headed back to the big screen with a new movie from U.S. distributor Samuel Goldwyn Films, and the film’s MPA rating has arrived.

The Red Sonja movie is rated “R” for “Strong/bloody violence.”

M.J. Bassett (Solomon Kane) directed the upcoming movie, with Matilda Lutz (Revenge) starring as the title character. Expect more – including a trailer – very soon.

Matilda Lutz’s barbarian huntress will be tasked with uniting a group of unlikely warriors to face off against the evil tyrant Emperor Draygan and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia.

The film has been described as “an epic story in a fantasy-laden world.”

Dsquared2 knows how to throw a show—and for Fall/Winter 2025, the brand took things to the next level, celebrating its 30th anniversary with a jaw-dropping, star-studded spectacle at Milan Fashion Week.

More than just a runway presentation, the night felt like a full-blown party, blending fashion, music, and pop culture in a nightclub-inspired venue. The energy was electric from the start, as rap superstar Doechii made a dramatic entrance from an armored tank overflowing with dollar bills, setting the tone for a night of high-octane glamour.

The runway was packed with stars including Tyson Beckford, Isabeli Fontana, Irina Shayk, Amelia Gray, Alex Consani, Alton Mason, Victor Perez, Bach, and Nle Choppa.

But the real showstopper? Naomi Campbell, who emerged from a set designed as a gritty New York warehouse labeled “Dsquared2 Bros Co,” reminding everyone why she remains the queen of the catwalk.

The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger is making waves on the internet not only because of that one iconic scene from the show but also because he’s slowly putting himself on the Hollywood map. Known as the son of famed former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick steps out of his father’s shadow to carve his own path.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has turned plenty of less famous Marvel characters into big-screen icons. From Rocket Raccoon and Scarlet Witch to the Falcon, the Eternals, and even Hawkeye. That trend has continued in the franchise's Disney+ era, with spin-off shows focusing on lesser-known heroes like Moon Knight and She-Hulk. In the latter case, however, previous attempts had been made to adapt the green-skinned heroine for the screen. All ended in roadblocks before Tatiana Maslany finally brought the role to life.

The character of She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, wasn't created until 1979, midway through the famous "Incredible Hulk" TV series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. Following that show's conclusion in 1982, a series of TV movies were made to continue the story. The third of those, 1990's "The Death of the Incredible Hulk," nearly included a live-action version of She-Hulk, but those plans never came to fruition.

With those original TV plans scrapped,...

Millennium’s new take on comic book character Red Sonja has gone through a few different iterations over the years, but the reboot is finally much closer to release. After a two-year post-production period, Red Sonja is finally gearing up for a UK release.

Signature Entertainment has picked up UK and Irish rights to the action fantasy with plans to release this year. Deadline notes that the film previously sold in international markets, though no updates on international release plans as of yet.

Matilda Lutz stars as “barbarian huntress Red Sonja, who must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against the evil tyrant Emperor Draygan and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia.”

Starring alongside Lutz are Robert Sheehan (The Umbrella Academy), Wallis Day (Sheroes), Michael Bisping (Den of Thieves), Luca Pasqualino (Snowpiercer), Rhona Mitra (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), Martyn Ford (Final Score), Ben Radcliffe (Cuban Fury), Eliza Matengu...

The Red Sonja reboot has secured a distributor with a release window confirmed. That's great news for fans of the comics and sword-and-sandal films.

Signature Entertainment acquired the rights to release the Red Sonja reboot in the UK and Ireland. Per Deadline, the film will premiere in late 2025 after spending two years in post-production. "Red Sonja epitomizes the kind of film we're looking for at Signature – an epic story in a fantasy-laden world with a strong commercial feel to its execution, which made it immediately appealing to us," Signature Entertainment's Acquisitions Manager Begüm Kayacan Parodi said. "We're looking forward to introducing UK and Irish audiences to Matilda Lutz's sword-swinging huntress later this year." Production company Millennium Media is still looking for a distributor for Red Sonja in international markets.

Nearly two and a half years after it finished filming in 2022, the long-awaited Red Sonja reboot is finally being released in 2025. It had been years since the project was first announced before things finally got moving on in 2021, when Tasha Huo (Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft) was brought on board to pen the script, and M. J. Bassett (Silent Hill: Revelation) was brought in to direct. The film stars Matilda Lutz (Revenge) in the titular role made famous by Brigitte Nielsen in the 1985 original.

Per Deadline, Red Sonja will be released in the UK later this year after Signature Entertainment acquired UK and Irish rights to the film, which has already been sold to multiple international markets by Millennium Media. A firm release date has yet to be set, and it remains unclear when the movie might make its way to U.S. soil. Still, Begüm Kayacan Parodi...

The long-awaited Red Sonja reboot hasn't had the easiest journey to the big screen. For starters, it's lost multiple filmmakers, including disgraced X-Men director Bryan Singer and main star, Thunderbolts*'s Hannah John-Kamen.

M.J. Bassett has since stepped behind the camera to helm the action, with Matilda Lutz tapped to bring the iconic warrior to life in a movie fans hope will do this character justice. It's been nearly four decades since the character appeared in a movie, with Brigitte Nielsen bringing the iconic hero to life way back in 1985.

Deadline (via SFFGazette.com) has confirmed today that the new Red Sonja movie has "been sold to the UK" and is scheduled to be released "later this year" after spending two years in post-production.

The long-awaited Red Sonja reboot has finally secured a deal in the UK, with plans for a release later this year. The film, which has been in development for years and spent two years in post-production, is now set to reach audiences in the UK and Ireland.

Signature Entertainment has acquired the rights to distribute the action-packed fantasy film from Millennium Media. While the movie has already been sold in multiple international markets, an official release date has not yet been announced.

Based on the popular comic book series, Red Sonja follows a fearless warrior who must unite a band of unlikely allies to battle the ruthless Emperor Draygan and his deadly bride, Dark Annisia. Directed by M.J. Bassett, the film brings a fresh take on the legendary character while staying true to its source material.

The movie boasts an impressive cast, featuring:

Thirty years after it was last adapted for the large screen, the troubled Red Sonja reboot is finally coming out in 2025, a report suggests.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it’s taken a staggeringly long time to reboot Red Sonja. Based on the comic book character of the same name, the fantasy yarn was first adapted into a movie in 1985, with Brigitte Nielsen as the titular sword-swinging warrior.

A reboot was first talked about in 2008, and has spent the years since roaming the various circles of development hell. Bryan Singer was going to direct a new Red Sonja at one point, but then it was discovered that he’s (allegedly) an awful human being and bowed out. According to Deadline, though, the new Red Sonja has been picked up for a UK and Irish release by Signature Entertainment, and is scheduled for release in 2025. The outlet also...

What do you get when you mix parts of an unrealized Beverly Hills Cop script, romantic thriller novel ‘A Running Duck’, and a leading man named Marion? Well, naturally…. a film with a body count of over fifty. A film where the original cut was so violent and so brutal it had to be heavily edited to avoid an X-rating by the MPAA. All starring Sylvester Stallone at the height of his popularity; cutting pizza with scissors in his apartment unreasonably close to an outrageously large neon Pepsi sign and murdering the bejesus out of some really bad dudes. Today, not knowing what the f*ck happened to Cobra is the disease… and we’re the cure. This is Wtf happened to Cobra.

Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers were initially adversaries both on and off-camera in Rocky IV. In a recent interview, Lundgren explained why he felt Weathers was always sore about their characters' fight in the 1985 sports movie.

Speaking with Screen Rant during a Fan Expo panel, Lundgren shared how he didn't get to spend much time with Weathers before they were thrown into the ring together to shoot the fight between Ivan Drago and Apollo Creed. "Well, I didn't know Carl [before Rocky IV]. I knew Stallone because we boxed and trained together for six months, and he was my boss. We were in the ring six days a week, so you push each other around, you're sparring, and you get to know each other. But Carl, I didn't know," he explained. "When I first met him, we were shooting the fight of Apollo versus Drago in Las Vegas, and Carl showed up two days before.

Dolph Lundgren has beaten many tough and deadly opponents on screen, but his biggest victory has come in real life, as the Rocky and Expendables star has revealed that he is cancer-free after battling the disease for almost a decade. However, what makes this even more incredible is that the 67-year-old action star was given just two to three years to live in 2020.

Sharing a new video from his hospital bed where he was having what he believes to be the last cancer cells removed, the actor shared a message of hope and gratitude for the support he has received since he went public about his fight in 2023. He said in the video:

"Alright, here I am [at] UCLA, about to go in and get rid of that last tumor — and, since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I'll be cancer-free, so I'm looking forward to this procedure.

There have been so many great fantasy movies over the years that never received the box office love they deserved. As a genre that relies on viewers letting themselves be swept away by alternative worlds and stories of magical wonder, sometimes it takes a while for the value of a fantasy story to be recognized by viewers, and it is only years or decades later that a fantasy film takes its rightful place as a cult classic. Other times, movies that should have been great were handled badly, and subpar films were released that didnt reach their full potential.

Some of the biggest box office flops of all time were in the fantasy genre, as this was a style that can feel overly campy and needlessly self-important if not presented well. Its a fine line to walk, and while the best fantasy movies ever have pulled this off well, other...

Tiffany "New York" Pollard's return to House of Villains in 2024 should come as no surprise to fans of the reality star. She's been a staple on reality television for nearly two decades.

Since her first appearance on VH1's Flavor of Love in 2006, Tiffany has been on reality programming in the United States and Great Britain. Her fiery personality and memorable presence make her an entertaining contestant in any reality TV format.

Here's more about Tiffany's rise to reality TV fame and details about her long history with the genre.

Tiffany "New York" Pollard Got Her Nickname From Her First Reality TV Show Appearance

When Tiffany "New York" Pollard first appeared on Flavor of Love in 2006, she was one of 20 women living together and vying for the love of rapper Flavor Flav. Flav gave each contestant nicknames that were used until they were eliminated. Tiffany's nickname was "New York."

For its next episode, Dark Side of Reality TV is looking back on another of the early aughts’ pop culture oddities: This time, it’s The Surreal Life, a celebrity soup show that had some very shocking moments indeed throughout its original six seasons. The vintage VH1 series brought a very varied group of celebrities together to cohabitate, The Real World style, and one of its most memorable moments — for better and for worse — was in its third season when Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav and Danish model-turned-’80s action star Brigitte Nielsen randomly began to hook up. The two were, it seemed, instantly and madly in love in the house, and that romance extended to a spinoff show called Strange Love that would be then spun off into Flavor of Love and a cascade of copycat programs for the network (I Love New York, Rock of Love, Real Chance of Love,...

The upcoming Red Sonja reboot hasn't had the easiest of journeys to the big screen, losing multiple filmmakers - including X-Men helmer Bryan Singer - and even its main star (Thunderbolts*' Hannah John-Kamen).

M.J. Bassett has since stepped behind the camera to direct the action, with rising star Matilda Lutz tapped to bring the iconic warrior to life in a movie fans hope will do this character justice. 

After all, it's been nearly four decades since Red Sonja graced the big screen, with Brigitte Nielsen bringing the iconic hero to life way back in 1985.

Earlier this week, we caught up with action icon Rhona Mitra to discuss her role in XYZ Films' Hounds of War. She's been tapped to play an unnamed character in the new Red Sonja and we asked what she could tease about the project. 

"I know that I'm not really allowed to say anything about that.

With all the awards and fame in his pocket, to call Sylvester Stallone a Hollywood icon would be an understatement. The Italian Stallion defined the action genre in the 1980s and 1990s with his Rambo series, which still stands the test of time.

However, there was one Rambo movie where Sylvester Stallone was completely off the rails, disregarding his own safety. During the filming of Rambo 3, Sly was going through a really tough time.

If you think Red Sonja is a cinematic low for Arnold Schwarzenegger, hold onto your popcorn! Helmed by Richard Fleischer and penned by Clive Exton and George MacDonald Fraser, this 1985 flick might not have snagged any Oscars, but it does offer a buffet of campy fun and over-the-top sword fights.

Fans of the Austrian Oak, however, argue that this sword-and-sorcery movie isn’t even close to his worst film. That dubious honor goes to Hercules in New York (1970), the actor’s debut flick.

Schwarzenegger’s first big screen outing, directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman, has been widely panned. The movie’s reputation is so poor that fans often scratch their heads, baffled by how the actor went from this flop to a superstar. One especially puzzled viewer even asked, “How did he become a star?”

Arnold Schwarzenegger...

Seargeoh Stallone, Sylvester's son, is one of the lesser-known members of the Stallone family. Sylvester Stallone was one of the biggest movie stars of the '70s and '80s. Even when he moved out of the peak stardom of his earlier career, Stallone remained in the Hollywood spotlight thanks to some key cameos, smaller roles in major franchises, and the occasional return to the lead in films like Creed and The Expendables.

With his burly physique, unique voice, and ability to play sensitive and strong, Stallone is one of those directors and actors with a high approval rating from everyone. Stallone has had several high-profile relationships, including three marriages. He married Sasha Czack in 1974 and divorced her in 1985, married Brigitte Nielsen that same year and divorced her in 1987, and then married Jennifer Flavin in 1997 and has been with her since. Stallone is not shy about his personal life,...

Regarding movie stars during the 1980s, it does not get any bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger, who spent this decade starring in some of the most iconic action movies ever produced. From his breakout success in Conan the Barbarian to the timeless appeal of The Terminator, this Austrian bodybuilder managed to become one of Hollywoods most bankable stars and earn his place as a touchstone of modern popular culture. With a skill for playing no-nonsense heroes who had little issue with leaving bodies and carnage in their wake, the only thing more unstoppable than Schwarzenegger during the 1980s was his career.

Many of the best Schwarzenegger action movies were released during the 1980s, as his ongoing rivalry with fellow action hero Sylvester Stallone meant they pushed one another to continually up the stakes and make increasingly intense, over-the-top action movies. Schwarzenegger played fantasy warriors, unstoppable killing machines, and skilled Special Forces officers during this time,...

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a huge impact in action films from the 80s and 90s, becoming an international star. Schwarzenegger diversified his roles, appearing in action films, genre oddities, and family comedies. Despite his peak and slight decline, Schwarzenegger has remained active in Hollywood, showcasing no signs of slowing down.

For an entire generation of film fans, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies provided some of the most iconic action flicks of the 1980s and 90s. He's played heroes and villains, ruthless robots, and kindergarten cops. With bulging muscles, a singularly bizarre presence, and a lot of heart, Schwarzenegger parlayed a bodybuilding career into one of Hollywood's most profitable and prolific film careers. Arnold's breakthrough came with 1982's Conan the Barbarian, a box-office hit that captured the attention of James Cameron, who then cast him as the titular role in the action game-changer The Terminator.

That movie made Schwarzenegger an international star. Schwarzenegger...

Flavor of Love was a reality dating show that aired on VH1 from January 2006 to May 2008, starring rapper Flavor Flav from the Hip Hop group Public Enemy. The show began as a result of Flavor Flav's failed relationship with Brigitte Nielsen, showcased on VH1's Strange Love and their appearances on The Surreal Life. Thanks to the general interest, the audience had grown towards Flavor Flav's life and Flavor of Love was a huge hit, particularly with the second season finale becoming the second highest-rated non-sports basic cable show of 2006. The format of the show revolved around the rapper dating a group of 20 women who competed for his affection. The rapper would date all these women over several weeks in the hopes of finding his ideal partner. However, what made Flavor of Love stand out from other dating reality shows was the rappers unique twist. Flav was known to label each contestant,...

A new concept trailer made with AI imagines what a star-studded X-Men movie in the 1990s would have looked like. It even includes some interesting casting choices for Deadpool and Wolverine ahead of those characters' upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine.

The video was posted to YouTube by Stryder HD. It features AI-generated footage of some characters in front of the scenery in an X-Men film from the 90s before going into a series of depictions of various actors as different Marvel characters. Leading the cast is Kurt Russell as Wolverine, imagining how the Escape from New York star might have appeared as Logan before Hugh Jackman became synonymous with the character. Another interesting casting choice showcased in the video is Bruce Campbell as Deadpool. The full concept trailer can be seen below.

In the glamorous world of Hollywood, where stars often seem to lead fairy-tale lives, the reality behind the scenes can be far from glamorous. Sylvester Stallone, renowned for his portrayal of Rocky Balboa, has been in the public eye not only for his cinematic achievements but also for the challenging chapters of his personal life. One such chapter was his whirlwind romance with Brigitte Nielsen, which captivated the public as the two became one of the most iconic celebrity couples of the 1980s.

From their joint appearance in Rocky IV to glamorous red-carpet events and exquisite fashion spreads, their romance was a constant topic of conversation. Even when they ended their marriage, it was marked by intense media attention and scandalous headlines. Not so long ago, Nielsen reignited the talks of her past with her cutting...

Imagining a pre-mcu X-Men with 80s actors brings a fresh perspective on iconic characters and alternate timelines. A fan art collection reimagines the cast for the first X-Men movie, hinting at what could have been in a different era. Marvel's upcoming MCU X-Men projects spark new excitement for the beloved mutant team.

A fan art collection has emerged depicting what 24 X-Men would have looked like if they were cast in a pre-mcu 80s production. While X-Men '97 is Marvel's first X-Men-focused production since the studio reacquired the rights, mutants have been at the forefront of the MCU zeitgeist for quite some time. The sheer quality of the animated series has hinted at how the future of the X-Men is in safe hands with Marvel in its upcoming MCU releases, reinvigorating enthusiasm for the iconic team after 2000's X-Men helped to spark the popularity of the modern comic book movie genre.

The ‘very male-gazed orientation’ of the 1980s version of Red Sonja will be a thing of the past in the remake, says Matilda Lutz.

Fantasy adventure Red Sonja emerged in 1985, three years after 1982’s Conan The Barbarian and around the time of the unexpectedly daft Conan The Destroyer. Red Sonja, directed by Destroyer’s Richard Fleischer, cashed in on that series’ popularity and also featured its star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, alongside 80s icon Brigitte Nielsen who starred as the titular female warrior.

There has been talk of a reboot of the movie for years, but it seems to be a project that has taken forever to bring to the screen – and we’re not just talking about the hold-ups caused by strikes and pandemics. For well over a decade, various attempts have been made to get the film up and running, with creative talent such as Robert Rodriguez, Rose McGowan, Simon West,...

The Red Sonja reboot in 2024 promises a fresh, women-empowered perspective, breaking away from past male-gazed adaptations. Matilda Lutz embodies a fierce warrior in the film, reflecting a departure from male-oriented narratives of the original comics. The upcoming Red Sonja reboot champions diversity, empowerment, and resilience, offering a modern, inclusive portrayal.

Comic-book fans are set to welcome back a familiar face with a modern twist as the Red Sonja reboot prepares to hit theaters in 2024. The character, originally conceived by Robert E. Howard and later popularized through comic books, is getting a contemporary makeover that promises to break away from the male-gaze trope that characterized previous adaptations.

Matilda Lutz, known for her roles in Rings and A Classic Horror Story, is set to embody the fierce warrior in a film that aims to be "very women-empowered." Speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival (via Cbr), Lutz expressed her admiration for the script's fresh perspective,...

A new update for the Red Sonja reboot has been revealed.

Starring Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja, the new film is expected to premiere in theaters in 2024, arriving nearly four decades after the release of the original feature film. While promoting the premiere of her new film Magpie at South by Southwest (SXSW), Lutz shared an update on Red Sonja while speaking with Cbr's Tessa Smith on the red carpet. She teased how this adaptation is "very women-empowered," separating it from the previous adaptations and original comic books.

Let’s begin with the title, She Is Conann. One might expect a distaff approximation of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1982 Conan The Barbarian, its sequel Conan The Destroyer two years later, and the zillion, or so, incarnations those spawned in live action or anime over the following 41 years. Or a reboot of 1985’s Red Sonja, in which statuesque Brigitte Nielsen matched Ahnuld’s Kalidor (think Conan Lite) blow-for-blow. But, as the Pythons would say, “And now for something completely different…”

This version comes from France, Belgium and Luxembourg. It’s sort of a post-apocalyptic or alternate universe piece of mysticism, with time travel in the mix. The tale is narrated in a wraparound with an elderly Conann telling her story to a possible successor to her throne, guided by dog-faced vassal, Rainer (Elina Lowensohn). I didn’t mention who plays Conann...

Some movie characters are so intertwined with the actors who play them that recasting them would be sacrilegious. Actors like Sylvester Stallone, Jim Carrey, and Audrey Hepburn have created iconic characters through their unique performances. Characters like Rocky Balboa, The Dude, and Holly Golightly would not work without the actors who brought them to life.

Some movie characters are so intrinsically linked to the people who play them that they only work because of their actors and to even think about recasting them would be sacrilegious. Sometimes a movie character is written with a particular actor in mind to play the part and they can be imbued with the performer's mannerisms, personality, and characteristics to such a point that the character no longer works if they are not playing the part. Often this is due to the actors writing the part for themselves, being an important aspect of their development,...

Cindy Morgan, best remembered for her key dual role in 1982’s Tron as Lora/Yori and as Lacey, the niece to Ted Knight, in comedy classic Caddyshack, was passed away at the age of 69. It was confirmed that Morgan died of natural causes.

A contact for Cindy Morgan wrote the following on Facebook, revealing the actress had actually died late last year. “I want to regretfully inform Cindy’s fans, that she has passed away. I got the call on New Years Eve night. I have been waiting for them to release a report and get more information. I’m sending info in to TMZ etc which should help spread the word of her passing. I will update as I can. May she fly with the angels and rest in peace.”

The stars hit the streets of Los Angeles Saturday afternoon for Balenciaga’s much-anticipated fashion show.

Kim Kardashian arrived carrying an Erewhon shopping bag, the latest collaboration between the luxury fashion house and the upscale grocery store.

“This is my purse for the day,” Kardashian told me, explaining that Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia asked her to carry it. “There are flowers in it. I’m going to give them to Demna later.”

One onlooker whispered, “I heard the bags are $1,000.”

Cardi B was a surprise model in the show. Wearing an oversized blue coat, Cardi later joined Teyana Taylor to pose for photographers in the front row.

Another celeb model was 1980s movie icon Brigitte Nielsen.

The show took place on a blocked-off residential street in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Rumor has it that residents on the block were paid $1,000 per house for the inconvenience.

Some action movies create villains who are better fighters than the heroes, making the suspense more believable and engaging, yet risking creating a scenario where the hero shouldn't win at all. In movies like Rocky IV and Black Panther, the antagonist proves to be a formidable opponent and should have won based on their superior skills. Other examples include Bucky Barnes in The Winter Soldier and Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.

Even the most iconic superheroes and action movie heroes did not deserve a few of their wins, as there have been many villains who were by far the better fighters. Having an antagonist who can go toe-to-toe with the hero of an action film adds to the experience. If it's clear that the hero is far superior, the suspension of disbelief will not hold up. However, some action movies go too far and create villains who are better...

Eddie Murphy is making a return as Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop 4, a sequel that has been in development for decades. The film will feature the return of several original cast members and the addition of new ones, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, and Kevin Bacon. The first look image of the sequel indicates that it will be embracing its modern era setting, with background characters seen using smart phones.

Eddie Murphy makes his grand return as Axel Foley in a first look image at Beverly Hills Cop 4. Murphy made his debut as the Detroit cop back in 1984 with the Martin Brest-directed Beverly Hills Cop. The film received sequels in 1987 and 1994 with Beverly Hills Cop 2 and Beverly Hills Cop 3, and Beverly Hills Cop 4 is now in development.

A new look at Murphy in his Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley role is revealed by Empire.

In the early eighties, Arnold Schwarzenegger had become a star through his role in Conan the Barbarian. Following a critically maligned but successful sequel, Conan the Destroyer, Schwarzenegger sought to move into more contemporary roles. His contract with producer Dino De Laurentis was ending, but the legendary mogul wanted to use Schwarzenegger’s star power to launch another adaption of Robert E. Howard’s work – Red Sonja. The resulting film was a star vehicle for Brigitte Nielsen, who some saw as a potential female action icon, and Schwarzenegger, due to his contract with De Laurentis, had no choice but to appear in a critical supporting role (for which he would be top-billed) opposite Nielsen, who played the titular character.

Directed by Richard Fleischer, who had also directed Conan the Destroyer, Red Sonja, with its $6.9 million gross, ranks as the least successful film Schwarzenegger made during his heyday, with even his wife,...
