Westerns require a certain snap, crackle and pop: the sound of a boot dragging on gravel, the jolt of a shotgun blast, the clip-clop of horse hooves. To make those noises and more for Netflix’s brutal miniseries “American Primeval,” nine-time Oscar-nominated sound designer Wylie Stateman and Emmy-nominated co-supervising sound editor Anne Jimkes-Root took their cues from director and

exec producer Peter Berg, whom they’ve worked with on previous projects including “Friday Night Lights,” “Lone Survivor” and “Painkiller.”

“Pete said, ‘I need this to feel raw; I need the [characters’] decisions to be immediate and in the moment,’” Stateman said. That sense of the visceral is of a piece with the unrelenting tone of “Primeval,” which tells the story of an East Coast mother, Sara (Betty Gilpin), and son, Devin (Preston Mota), who head west with taciturn mountain man Isaac (Taylor Kitsch) as their guide. They traverse hazardous terrain on...

A little over a decade ago, Sony Pictures set out to grow the "Amazing Spider-Man" franchise into a whole cinematic universe. Beginning in 2012 with Marc Webb's reboot, which starred Academy Award-nominee Andrew Garfield as the titular webhead, the studio had ambitious expansion plans with the upcoming sequel as well as a slew of spinoff films that were in development. Although "The Amazing Spider-Man" didn't receive the most enthusiastic reception from critics and fans compared to Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man" a decade earlier, people were still interested to see what Webb and Garfield had in store for the sequel. It offered a chance for this new reboot to distinguish itself without having to follow the tried-and-true origin story again. 

Unfortunately, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was an overall disappointment. The film received mixed reviews, criticized for its messy tone and a script that reeked of studio interference. To be fair,...

American Primeval, Netflix’s ultra-violent answer to Yellowstone, was released earlier this year as a six-episode limited series. For those who watched it, it appeared that the definitive nature of the bleak ending had sealed the show’s fate. However, according to series director Peter Berg, Netflix is considering bringing back the Western drama for Season 2. Spoilers ahead for the American Primeval finale.

During an interview with Esquire, Peter Berg (Deepwater Horizon) revealed that the filmmaker and the rest of the American Primeval crew are currently trying to figure out how to make Season 2. The series, which is set in 1857 in the Utah Territory, saw most of its main characters perish by the end of the six-episode season. However, as Berg notes, they are still interested in telling another story about the children that survived the cruelty of the wild west. This means that the show's creators have to lock...

Todd Olsson will stop at nothing to get studios interested in his films.

To drum up interest in screenings of “Wardriver,” a Dane DeHaan crime thriller that Olsson’s company, Highland Film Group, is selling at Cannes, he channeled those hyperventilating tastemakers who have become ubiquitous on social media and shot a fake “review” of the film.

“This movie moves!” a very caffeinated Olsson exclaims in one of the parody TikTok videos he sent to potential buyers. “It’s got action, sex, cars and one of my favorite things — hacking into networks and stealing f–king money!”

Sign-ups for screenings of “Wardriver” surged.

“We acted like complete imbeciles and made asses of ourselves in order to get people to pay attention and somehow it worked,” says Olsson, who serves as Highland’s president of international sales. “Maybe it’s the magic of TikTok, but people seem to pay attention to...

It's always nice to see a decent movie faring well on streaming services. Most streamers' charts are typically populated by some of the most questionable "content" you're ever likely to encounter on your journey through the streaming sphere, but there are still some standouts that crop up from time to time. Case in point: "Chronicle."

This 2012 superhero origin story/sci-fi thriller/teen drama caused a minor stir upon its debut for presenting an original take on the superhero genre using a found-footage approach. The film also put stars Dane DeHaan and Michael B. Jordan on the map and established director Josh Trank as one of the most promising young filmmakers of the time. Sadly, his next film, 2015's "Fantastic Four", proved to be a box office flop that put Trank in director jail, but "Chronicle" remains a well-respected directorial debut.

The film follows three Seattle high school seniors: DeHaan's Andrew,...

As Sinnerscontinues to make waves critically and commercially weeks after its debut, star Michael B. Jordan sees one of his earliest film projects garner buzz amid his latest movie's success. Jordan's acclaimed superhero blockbuster, Chronicle, pops up on the streaming charts well over a decade after its theatrical premiere.

Per Collider, Chronicle ranks seventh on Max's top 10 movies chart after landing on the HBO-owned streamer earlier this month. The superhero film debuted in 2012 and was only Jordan's sixth film role in what would become a storied and decorated big-screen career.

Property of 20th Century Studios

Helmed by Josh Trank in his directorial debut, Chronicle is a multi-genre film, featuring superhero, sci-fi, found footage and psychological elements. The 20th Century Fox movie centers around popular Seattle high school senior Steve Montgomery (Jordan), alongside friends Andrew Detmer (Dane Dehaan) and Matt Garetty (Alex Russell), as they form a bond after gaining telekinetic...

Michael B. Jordan is currently on top of the world thanks to his dual roles in Sinners, the vampire horror blockbuster from Ryan Coogler, but more than 10 years ago, he starred in a superhero movie that’s climbing streaming charts. Jordan stars alongside Dane DeHaan and Alex Russell in Chronicle, the 2012 superhero/sci-fi thriller following three high-school friends who gain superpowers but find their lives spinning out of control. Chronicle recently hit Max at the start of the month and has since become a hit for the streamer, landing at #7 at the time of writing. The film earned an 85% from critics and a 72% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $126 million at the box office against a budget of $12 million.

Max Landis teamed up with Josh Lank to write the script for Chronicle, and Lank also stepped behind the camera to direct the film. Landis is best known for...

In the film from director Justin Chadwick (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), Alba plays Eden, an enigmatic spy on a covert and dangerous mission. When Eden pulls single father Ben Dawson into her world of high-stakes espionage, his life is turned upside down. Mistaken for the world’s deadliest assassin, Ben becomes the perfect decoy for Eden. She uses the mix-up to expose a powerful network of corrupt politicians, placing Ben in the crosshairs of the CIA, Interpol, and ruthless crime syndicates. With enemies closing in from all sides, Eden must keep Ben alive long enough to complete her mission — while Ben must summon his inner action hero to stay alive and return to the person who matters most: his daughter.

Ronnie Christensen penned the script.

Michael B. Jordan has returned to movie theater screens this week with “Sinners,” the new movie from “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler. Jordan stars in the film as Smoke and Stack, a pair of twin brothers who find themselves fending off a vampire attack one unlucky night. His dual roles in “Sinners” represent yet another instance of Jordan testing his limits onscreen. That’s not surprising to see from an actor who has already pushed himself to try on the roles of action hero, inspirational real-life figure and even director in recent years.

Jordan has, in other words, accomplished a lot over the course of his 20+ year career. Here are the five best films he has starred in, ranked.

We recently got our first look at Graham Roland and J. D. Dillard's upcoming streaming adaptation of William Gibson's Cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer, via some revealing set photos featuring Briana Middleton as Molly Millions, and we now have another look at the actress sporting a very different costume.

Molly, also known as Sally Shears and Rose Kolodny, was first introduced in Gibson's 1981 short story Johnny Mnemonic (which was adapted as a critically-lambasted 1995 movie starring Keanu Reeves) before going on to play a more significant role in the Sprawl Trilogy, Neuromancer (1984), Count Zero (1986), and Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988).

Millions is a ruthless, but honourable "razorgirl" (street samurai) with augmented reflexes and cybernetic implants, including razor-sharp retractable blades underneath her fingernails and vision-enhancing mirrored lenses covering her eye-sockets.

So far, Middleton is the only main cast member to be spotted on set, but other photos have revealed some background actors in various Cyberpunk-inspired outfits.

Graham Roland and J. D. Dillard's streaming adaptation of William Gibson's Cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer, is now shooting, and some new photos from the set give us a first look at one of the show's main characters.

Briana Middleton is set to play Molly Millions, and as you can see from the photos below, she looks pretty much exactly how the cyborg mercenary is described in Gibson's novels.

There have been several iterations of Spider-Man, and Tom Holland was the latest one under Sony and Kevin Feige’s MCU (a first for the two companies). It was indeed a big win for the world since they got to see their favorite superhero fighting alongside the greats.

A new rumor is on the internet now about the lead antagonist of the upcoming Tom Holland film, Spider-Man 4. If the rumors are true, the world might just see a lead antagonist who is of Asian origin and a Person of Color for the first time in a Spider-Man film!

Tom Holland’s return to the MCU is officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The fourth film in the franchise has finally received its title and a release date of July 31, 2026. The film will see what happened to Peter Parker after the world, including his best friends, forgot his identity, and he restarted his life as a vigilante without all the tech.

The subtitle Brand New Day is derived from the comic book storyline of the same name. The comic also saw a world where reality had changed for Peter, and many of the things had reversed. Apart from the return of the Green Goblin, the storyline also hints at the state of the Daily Bugle and introduces a villain who might just be what Sadie Sink is playing.

Green Goblin might be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day if it follows the comics A still from Spider-Man: No Way Home...

Forty years ago, author William Gibson brought the world a cyberpunk novel called Neuromancer – and an adaptation of that story has been trudging its way through development hell pretty much ever since. Versions of a feature film adaptation have passed through the hands of directors like music video maker Chris Cunningham, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and The Blob‘s Chuck Russell, Torque‘s Joseph Kahn, Cube‘s Vincenzo Natali, and Deadpool‘s Tim Miller. An adaptation of Neuromancer is currently moving forward as a 10-episode series that’s set up at Apple TV+, and Deadline reports that Dane DeHaan of Oppenheimer and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has signed on to play a character named Peter Riviera.

In the source material, Peter Riviera was “a thief and sadist who can project holographic images.” Which sounds like a great character for Dane DeHaan to play.

Oppenheimer actor Jack Quaid recalls the surprising complement he got from Christopher Nolan, despite his limited role. Hitting theaters in 2023, Nolan's World War II historical epic about J. Robert Oppenheimer's creation of the first atomic bomb was a massive hit both critically and commercially, with Cillian Murphy playing the titular theoretical physicist. Oppenheimer features a star-studded cast to bring its abundance of historical figures to life, with Quaid, who is well known for starring in The Boys and a new action comedy called Novocaine (2024), playing a small role as real-life scientist Richard Feynman.

In a recent interview with Men's Health, Quaid looks back on his time filming Oppenheimer, revealing that Nolan gave him a unique complement for his bongo-playing performance during a scene set at Christmas. Quaid features sparingly in the scene in question, but the director still took the time to tell the actor that he was "impressed.

The following contains spoilers for American Primeval, now streaming on Netlflix. It also contains a mention of suicide.

With Westerns like Yellowstone reigniting the genre for TV, Netflix decided to take things in a raw and unadulterated direction. The streamer achieves this with the shockingly gory American Primeval, which focuses on the 1850s and the Utah War.

The series depicts American soldiers, the Mormons and Natives battling for territory. Along the way, the show maps out one of the most tragic love stories of its genre. But it's not the one fans think is on top of the list. It's a darker story, focusing on Dane DeHaan's Jacob Pratt and his wife, Abish.

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy saw quite a few villains—both good and bad—played by some of the renowned actors in the industry. The greatest villain of all would be the psychotic Green Goblin, who made the first Spider-Man film memorable for generations of viewers. Willem Dafoe’s unhinged performance in the film played a huge role in the success of such a villain.

A major box office disappointment is experiencing a small reprieve on the Max streaming service after its disastrous 2017 debut. "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" was written and directed by Luc Besson, and is an adaptation of the French comic series "Valérian and Laureline," by writer Pierre Christin and illustrator Jean-Claude Mézières. It stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne as special operatives tasked with maintaining order throughout space for the human race. While there is plenty of sci-fi spectacle on display in "Valerian," there's also a love story at the heart of the film, with Valerian chasing his sidekick despite her consistent refusal to indulge his romantic desires. After the pair are dispatched to the intergalactic city of Alpha, they uncover a dark threat to the city and must work together to save both Alpha and the rest of the universe.

Clearly a passion project for Besson, who...

Content Warning: The following article contains mention of rape.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets may not be the most well-known movie, but the Valerian cast is certainly stacked with A-list talent. Based on the French science fiction comic series Valérian and Laureline and released in 2017, the movie takes place in the 28th century and centers on two operatives, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are tasked with traveling to the peaceful Alpha, the City of a Thousand Planets, to complete a mission. However, when an unknown force threatens the future of the entire universe, Valerian and Laureline must race against time to stop them.

Valerian had a hefty budget of over $177 million (via Box Office Mojo) and has the distinction of being both the most expensive independent movie and European movie ever made. Unfortunately, Valerian failed to make a splash at the box office, grossing just over $225 million worldwide,...

Netflix's American Primeval is being noted for its unvarnished look at the Old West, and what a grimy, violent, and bleak era it was. Its depiction of the West is a far cry from the Westerns of John Wayne, who was the leading star in the genre from the 1930s to his final film in 1976. Wayne's "Oaters" tended to feature good guys versus bad guys, with no sex, blood or foul language present - which is the opposite approach to American Primeval.

One of Wayne's darkest roles came with The Searchers, where he plays bitter, racist Civil War vet Ethan Edwards, who spends years trying to find his missing niece. Debbie was taken by the Comanche and is later found to have joined the tribe and...

American Primeval has improved drastically on Rotten Tomatoes following a disappointing early score. Created by Mark L. Smith and directed by Peter Berg, the hit Netflix Western chronicles the lives of a handful of characters in the American West and the often violent ways in which they collide in a lawless frontier. American Primeval reviews haven't all been glowing from critics and the show, which stars Taylor Kitsch, Betty Gilpin, Dane DeHaan, and Saura Lightfoot Leon, debuted to a lackluster 43% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes earlier this month from seven reviews.

Now, with more reviews having been added, American Primeval is sitting at a much more respectable 62% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes from 39 reviews. This new score means the show is no longer designated "Rotten" as it was initially, but this could still evolve as more reviews are added. The Netflix series now also has an audience score, and that's...

Right at the top of 2025, Taylor Kitsch landed his latest television series hit with the release of American Primeval on Netflix. The series dropped on Jan. 9 and has remained in the daily top 10 most popular ranking since its release. But if you're a fan of the actor, then you know this isn't his first rodeo on the small screen.

In fact, his breakthrough role was in a television series you might have heard of called Friday Night Lights. Ring any bells? Of course it does! He played the troubled bad boy football player Tim Riggins that stole everyone's hearts. But between American Primeval and Friday Night Lights, Kitsch has starred in plenty more shows.

Actors Dane DeHaan and Kim Coates have performed in their fair share of acclaimed films and television.

Now, they bring their fierce passion and dedication to Peter Berg’s American Primeval, an epic new Western on Netflix. In the miniseries, DeHaan plays pioneer Jacob Pratt and Coates as prominent historical figure Brigham Young.

Netflix's new Western series has become a global success. Producing original movies and TV shows since the early 2010s, the streaming service's catalog of Western content now offers a diverse range of stories exploring the rugged charm of the American frontier. Longmire was A&e's highest-rated original drama before Netflix picked it up in 2014, starting with season four, and releasing the sixth and final season in 2017. Around that same time, the Western miniseries Godless was also released on Netflix to rave reviews.

The Coen brothers' Western anthology film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, was released on Netflix in 2018, presenting six separate tales that blend humor and tragedy and showcase the unpredictability of frontier life. The Harder They Fall, released on Netflix in 2021, is one of the few Westerns with a predominantly Black cast, showcasing a diverse narrative and fresh perspective within the genre. Now, Netflix's new Western series, which...
