Presumed Innocent executive producer/director Greg Yaitanes was a total Jake Gyllenhaal fanboy when he met the actor prior to working with the actor on the hit series. I usually just want to get [the fanboy thing] out of the way, Yaitanes told MovieWeb in a recent interview. Working with Tim Robbins [in Castle Rock], I had to geek out about Shawshank Redemption. But I go to films because Jake's in them. I'll go see Prisoners because he's in it. I'll go see Enemy because he's in it. It attracts me his work and his way of working, which is incredibly natural. There's such an ease that he has in front of the camera that has taken 30 years to craft, and it's beautiful to watch.

Its something to marvel at in Presumed Innocent, in fact. Yaitanes directed about five episodes of the series, which is based on Scott Turow's bestselling 1987 novel, which was...

Warning—Spoilers for Love Island UK season 9 ahead!!!After eight weeks, the winners of Love Island UK season 9 have been announced. While the reality TV hit usually airs in the summer, this was the second special winter season, premiering in January. Instead of the summer's Mallorca location, the season played out in a new South African villa. Maya Jama also made her debut as the show's host, taking over for Laura Whitmore.

On the finale, Maya announced that Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan won the £50,000 prize. According to ITV's voting percentages, Kai and Sanam received 44-percent, less than the overwhelming lead of last year's winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.

In second place were original couple Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins. Bombshells Tom Clare and Samie Elishi came in third, while Shaq Mohammed and Tanya Manhenga got fourth.

We’re living in a true crime boom in both scripted and unscripted television — but “Love & Death” director and exec producer Lesli Linka Glatter said she hopes her new HBO Max series will be seen as much more than that.

Sure, the series involves the true story of accused (but acquitted) axe murderer Candy Montgomery, played by Elizabeth Olsen. “There is a horrible true crime at the core of this, but we didn’t want it to be just a true crime story,” Glatter said Saturday in a panel discussion after the premiere of “Love & Death” at the South by Southwest festival. And the show doesn’t shy away from Montgomery’s actions. But “it’s really, things are not what they appear to be. You have to go deeper to see what’s really going on. We really tried to look at the ‘how’ and ‘why’ rather than the ‘what.

Dancing on Ice viewers have shared their delight after Ekin-Su CülcüloÄ.lu made a reference to Love Island during her first routine.

The ITV2 reality star, who won the summer 2022 series of the dating programme, is a competitor on the ice skating show.

For her first performance with professional partner Brendyn Hatfield on Sunday (15 January), Ekin-Su gave a dance soundtracked by the Britney Spears hit, “Toxic”.

At one memorable moment in the routine, Ekin-Su crawled on the ground towards the camera, in a moment that resembled her antics on the Love Island terrace last summer, where she crawled behind a wall to avoid being seen in a romantic tryst with fellow castmate, Jay Younger.

This reference entertained several viewers at home, who then turned to social media to share their feelings.

“Obsessed with Ekin Su recreating this skating to ‘Toxic’,” a viewer tweeted.

The Love Island UK season 9 cast is finally here, but fans aren't sure how they feel about the new islanders.

The hit ITV reality series is returning for its second Winter edition, with a new group of singles arriving in South Africa in the hopes of finding love.

The trailer will be aired on TV during Sunday night’s (1 January) broadcast of Daniel Craig’s 2021 James Bond film No Time To Die.

Luca Bish and Gemma Owen have split up three months after leaving the Love Island UK villa.

The former couple, called "Lemma" by fans, are the first of the four finalists to call it quits.

“I did get offered,” CülcüloÄ.lu said in an interview with PopSugar. “I would’ve loved to do it, but I can’t at the minute because of how busy I am. And I said I’m not ready for it.”

The 28-year-old – who won the 2022 series alongside partner Davide Sanclimenti – said she felt she lacked the necessary experience and would want “proper training” before she took the role on.
