A Crown of Swords is the seventh installment in the massive The Wheel of Time book series, and it deals with the fallout of the intense ending of the previous book, Lord of Chaos.
The Battle of Dumai's Wells, where the Shaido Aiel attacked the Aes Sedai sent to capture Rand al’Thor by Elaida in the White Tower, is one of the more climactic endings in the series. During the battle, Rand escapes from the box in which he was folded up, and his Asha’man join the battle, wreaking great havoc among the Shaido. Perrin brings an army to rescue his friend.
The fallout is mainly focused on the Dragon Reborn’s relationship with the Aes Sedai. He’d been warned over and over not to trust them, even by Moiraine. Between Alanna bonding him without permission and Aes Sedai capturing and torturing him, he knows he can...

Fans of The Dark Tower have been given a big retrospective glimpse into what might have been if Amazon Studios had backed the original plan to bring Stephen Kings magnum opus to the small screen. While things seem almost certain to now move ahead under the guidance of Mike Flanagan, those eagerly anticipating the new attempt to bring the story of Roland Deschain to life can read the full pilot script by screenwriter and producer Glen Mazzara for Amazons scrapped series.
Stephen Kings The Dark Tower needs very little introduction, and the same can be said of the troubled road many have trodden in an attempt to adapt the eight-novel series. From Ron Howards ambitious plans to create a multi-movie/series universe in a theatrical-streaming combo a la the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to the hugely disappointing movie version starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey that almost killed any future chances...

Pain Hustlers is a movie that combines entertainment with a deep exploration of a state of the nation issue, making it a thought-provoking experience. The movie sheds light on the shocking financial incentives that can influence doctors to prescribe certain medications, revealing the darker side of the American medical system. Emily Blunt's character, Liza, is relatable yet flawed, and her journey explores themes of accountability and the consequences of one's actions.

However, her life takes an unexpected upswing when sales skyrocket, sending Liza into the high life, but it also puts her in the center of a criminal conspiracy with dire consequences.

Director David Yates explains that Emily Blunt's character in Pain Hustlers, Liza Drake, is a composite of many different personalities and ultimately a creation of the filmmakers. The movie draws inspiration from the true story of Insys Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company involved in racketeering schemes. However, the script takes creative liberties and fictionalizes the company as Zanna Therapeutics. By fictionalizing the characters and adding personal qualities, Liza Drake's story becomes more relatable and compelling, allowing viewers to connect with her motivations and struggles.
Pain Hustlers director David Yates explains whether Emily Blunt's character is inspired by a real person. The new Netflix original movie is a crime drama surrounding the story of Liza Drake (Blunt), a woman hired to work for a bankrupt pharmaceutical company who finds herself accidentally in the middle of a criminal conspiracy. Alongside Blunt, Pain Hustlers also stars Chris Evans, Catherine O’Hara, Chloe Coleman, Andy Garcia,...

David Yates’s Pain Hustlers puffs itself up as a dynamic epic about the American dream but ends up glorifying some truly grotesque characters. Wells Tower’s script pulls loosely from Evan Hughes’s book about how executives at pharmaceutical company Insys Therapeutics were convicted in 2019 of conspiring to bribe doctors to overprescribe the fentanyl spray Subsys. The story has every ingredient for gripping melodrama: greed, timeliness, money, drugs, death, betrayal, and an Icarus-like fall. Thomas Jennings’s Frontline episode “Opioids, Inc.” and the second part of Alex Gibney’s The Crime of the Century have already turned the sordid tale into powerful, infuriating nonfiction. But in the course of fictionalizing the Insys story, Yates and Tower lose sight of what made it compelling to begin with.
Though ostensibly about the 2010s’ epidemic of synthetic opioid overdoses, Pain Hustlers really hangs its story on the oh-so American grit and determination...

Emily Blunt pursues a better life for herself and her young daughter only to fall with dire consequences amid a criminal conspiracy in the teaser trailer for David Yates’ Pain Hustlers, which Netflix dropped on Wednesday.
“Is that even legal?” Liza Drake (Blunt) asks Pete Brenner, played by Chris Evans, at one point in the trailer after landing a job at a failing pharma startup in a Florida strip mall. Liza’s charm, drive and guts send her into the high life, but it’s not enough to keep the company and her position safe at the center of a criminal enterprise, according to a synopsis of the film from Netflix.
The crime drama sees the pharmaceutical drug business marketing a new kind of opioid drug offering pain relief to cancer patients, which unwittingly helps spark the U.S. opioid epidemic for greed and profits. The trailer shows Liza’s...

Marvel Studios has yet to explain Captain America's ability to slightly move Mjölnir in Avengers: Age of Ultron, despite being worthy of wielding it in Avengers: Endgame. A popular theory suggests that Captain America was already almost worthy in Age of Ultron, and his worthiness was fully realized after coming clean about Bucky's involvement in Civil War. That being said, a better theory proposes that Thor's hammer knew of Steve's future actions in Endgame and deemed him worthy based on his character, allowing him to move it in Age of Ultron.
One theory suggests that the events of Avengers: Endgame can explain how Captain America was already worthy in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Despite being widely considered the least favorite Avengers film to date, Marvel Studios has been able to redeem the film in the years following its release.
