Five Finger Death Punch‘s Zoltan Bathory has expanded his jiu-jitsu league, the Professional Grappling Federation (Pgf), with a larger broadcast footprint and the addition of a third team, the Philadelphia Phenoms, with the hopes of turning the martial art into a major league sport.

Bathory and his Pgf co-owners Brandon McCaghren, Heather Grace Gracie, and Keelan Lawyer announced the news via a press release on Thursday (August 28th). The Phenoms become the third team in the Pgf (alongside the New Hope Kings and the Alabama Twisters) following a seven-figure franchise sale to entrepreneur and jiu-jitsu competitor/community advocate Lauren Barone, who makes history as the Pgf’s first female team owner.

On Tuesday, parents of a teen who died by suicide filed the first ever wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, alleging that their son received detailed instructions on how to hang himself from the company’s popular chatbot, ChatGPT. The case may well serve as a landmark legal action in the ongoing fight over the risks of artificial intelligence tools — and whether the tech giants behind them can be held liable in cases of user harm.

The 40-page complaint recounts how 16-year-old Adam Raine, a high school student in California,...

Nobody has had a career quite like Bob Odenkirk.

It was one thing to go from a comedy writer and performer on SNL in the late ‘80s to his own beloved HBO sketch comedy series, Mr. Show with Bob and David, in the mid-’90s. But to reinvent himself as an equally effective comedic and dramatic actor in his late 40s and 50s — largely due to his roles as Saul Goodman and Jimmy McGill on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul — is something nobody saw coming. The later career twists and turns for the 7-time-Emmy-nominated actor weren’t over yet, as Odenkirk took on yet another challenge that nobody anticipated: action franchise star.

In 2019, Odenkirk starred in and produced Ilya Naishuller’s Nobody right before his 57th birthday, and the actioner about long-retired assassin (aka “auditor”) Hutch Mansell released to strong reviews during Covid in March 2021. The action-thriller took in...

Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: UK’ season 2 honestly lives up to the reputation of not only its preceding iteration but also its parent production in every sense of the term. There is emotionality, romance, as well as vulnerability at every step of the way as a group of singles try to find their perfect match and fall in love without ever seeing one another face-to-face. However, while some of them even get engaged sight unseen so as to move forward to the next step of the experiment, some unfortunately end up with a broken heart despite their best efforts. This time around, they were 28-year-old Sophie Willett and 30-year-old Demola Ayilara.

Nikki Glaser is a kind person.

It might sound ironic, considering Variety’s 2025 Creative Impact in Comedy Award recipient is infamous for her savagely funny takedowns, such as her star-making turn on last year’s “The Roast of Tom Brady.” In the space of nine minutes, Glaser eviscerated fellow comics while expertly weaving in bits on everything from Cte to how Gisele Bündchen is now dating a jiu jitsu instructor (“Your ex-wife’s new boyfriend can beat your ass while eating hers”). Earlier this year, she hosted the Golden Globe Awards and proved an emcee could be ruthless without being cruel, telling Zendaya, “I woke up for all your scenes” in “Dune” or calling “Emilia Pérez” the “most audacious, ground-breaking film to ever auto-play after ‘Is It Cake?’”

But as her friend and fellow comedian Lisa Lampanelli reveals, Glaser has a reputation as one of the nicest people in the...

Spoilers: This post contains details about the Poker Face, Season 2 finale episode ‘The End of the Road’

With Natasha Lyonne‘s Charlie Cale on the run once again in the Season 2 finale of Poker Face, here’s hoping Patti Harrison‘s Alex isn’t far behind.

Ahead of Thursday’s episode ‘The End of the Road’, the comedian spoke to Deadline about taking on the “dream role” of the mysterious Alex, at first introduced as a quirky friend and potential Watson for the troubled protagonist Charlie’s Sherlock, but revealed in the finale to be the Moriarty of the story.

“I think that was an important part too, is just not that my character be so goofy and silly, ’cause I think they trusted me a lot to imbue it with humor, but that wasn’t my directive going in,” explained Harrison. “I wanted to kind of figure out what...

The new leader of Professional Fighters League says he’s happy to be running the number-two player in the mixed-martial arts field….for now.

John Martin is best known in the media industry for his tenures at Time Warner Cable and the former Time Warner, serving as chief financial officer for both companies before being named to lead the TV unit once known as Turner Broadcasting. Now, he’s taking on a new challenge that will marry his love of combat sports with his business acumen, and, he hopes, build up a competitor to the very popular UFC.

“There is absolutely demand for another premium Mma company,” says Martin in a recent interview.

Fans, advertisers and distributors all want to do more with mixed martial arts, says Martin, but UFC is an established, premium brand that often commands top dollar. “For those businesses that want to be in and around Mma,...

The “Liver King” Brian Johnson, who was arrested after making alleged “terroristic threats” against Joe Rogan, was released from a Texas county jail after posting a $20,000 bail. Now, he’ll face a restraining order and will have to undergo a mental health evaluation within a week.

Travis County Court records, viewed by Rolling Stone, confirmed his release on June 25. The court ordered that he stay at least 200 yards from Rogan and his family, along with the mental evaluation due by next Wednesday.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 won't fully deal with the darkest moment of season 2, hints Babs Olusanmokun, who plays Dr. Joseph M'Benga. In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 8, "Under the Cloak of War," Dr. M'Benga killed Klingon Ambassador Dak'Rah (Robert Wisdom) aboard the USS Enterprise. M'Benga and Chapel then covered up his crime, even deceiving Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount).

Strange New Pod interviewed Babs Olusanmokun on the red carpet before Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3's world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival. When asked about whether season 3 would deal with Dr. M'Benga murdering the Klingon ambassador, Olusanmokun teased that there are "repercussions," but that the new season doesn't "fully touch on them."

Brian Johnson, better known to many online as the “Liver King,” has been arrested in Austin, Texas after posting a video that led to a criminal charge. Police say he threatened Joe Rogan, the well-known podcast host and UFC commentator, in a recent Instagram post.

In the video, Johnson appears to directly call out Rogan, saying he wants to fight him. “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out,” he says. “Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you… your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.” He also admits in the video that he has no formal training in jiu-jitsu, while Rogan is a black belt. Johnson is seen wearing what looks like a wolf’s head in the clip.

Brian Johnson, widely known online as the “Liver King,” has been arrested in Austin, Texas after allegedly threatening podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan. The arrest came just one day after Johnson shared a video online challenging Rogan to a fight.

In the Instagram clip, Johnson looked directly into the camera wearing what seemed to be a wolf’s head on top of his own and said, “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s ‘Liver King.’ Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu-jitsu; you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.”

Brian Johnson, the social media influencer known as the “Liver King,” was arrested by the Austin, Texas, Police Department for a terrorist threat charge.

According to the records, the charge against Johnson was a class B misdemeanor.

He was arrested after challenging podcaster Joe Rogan to a fight in a video posted on Instagram. He was then taken into custody in Austin, where Rogan lives, after being found at the Four Seasons Hotel downtown around 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

In January 2023, Johnson, who was the subject of a Netflix documentary, was sued for $25 million for lying to his fans about not using steroids and saying that he gained his muscular body by following ancestral rules such as eating raw animal organs.

Footage shared on Johnson’s Instagram account shows him challenging Rogan, a UFC commentator, to fight.

“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out; my name’s Liver King,...

Brian “The Liver King” Johnson said that he wanted to step into the octagon with Joe Rogan. Now, he’s in police custody for making “terroristic threats.”

Before this week, Johnson was best known for being a concerningly muscle-bound fitness influencer and supplement seller who swore by his steady diet of raw meat and animal organs before admitting to using various steroids and performance-enhancing drugs to achieve his startling physique. Now, unfortunately for the Liver King and his disciples, there is a very real possibility that Johnson’s legacy will forever be defined as “the terrorist who tried to fight Joe Rogan,” after his spree of erratic behavior and posting ended with a criminal charge yesterday evening.

One day after Johnson issued a challenge to Rogan in a bizarre Instagram video, police in Austin, Texas arrested the subject of the Netflix documentary Untold: The Liver King and charged him with Terroristic Threats,...

Social media influencer Liver King has been arrested and charged with making alleged “terroristic threats” against Joe Rogan, Austin’s Kxan reports. The 47-year-old born Brian Johnson shared a series of Instagram videos earlier this week in which he challenged the podcaster to a fight.

“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you,” he said. “I have no training in Jiu-jitsu; you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you.

Brian Johnson, aka the Liver King, a social media personality who grew in popularity after eating raw meat in his videos, was arrested a few hours ago. The news was confirmed by Alex Jones on his independent news network, while videos of the arrest appeared on Johnson’s Instagram page. He was arrested at a hotel in Downtown Austin.

Apparently, the reason why Johnson arrived in Austin was to attack UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan. According to Jones, the Liver King has been arrested on charges of terroristic threats. His recent videos against Rogan grew more aggressive, with one of the videos featuring him in a wolf costume and holding what appeared to be gold-plated guns.

Victor Webster has played action heroes, sci-fi bad boys, and even dabbled in stockbroking, but he’s never looked more at home than he does in Hallmark’s cozy world of sleuthing and sweet treats.

John Wick franchise director and creative overseer Chad Stahelski assures that John Wick: Chapter 5 will maintain a high bar for action quality, despite Keanu Reeves now being 60 years old. With each new installment in the hit action franchise, Stahelski and Reeves have upped the ante in terms of action, with Chapter 4 representing a critical and commercial high point. Ballerina has just hit theaters and a Caine spinoff is on the way, but Reeves' time as Wick may not be over just yet, as John Wick: Chapter 5 is confirmed to be in active development at Lionsgate.

During a recent interview with THR, Stahelski is asked whether John Wick 5 will take it easier on Reeves, who does many of his own action sequences, now that he's about to turn 61. The director makes clear that Reeves' age won't lower the quality of the action, explaining that the star's past physical constraints were...

One really has to hand it to Keanu Reeves. The guy has a knack for starring in zeitgeist-defining action films, with him leading Point Break, Speed and The Matrix. Yet, perhaps his most iconic character, John Wick, is the most unlikely success story of them all. It was seen as an upstart indie flick which came close to going direct-to-video, only for it to become one of the most successful action franchises of all time, and a property that’s unlikely to die anytime soon, even if its own hero’s survival is kind of up in the air right now post John Wick 4. With Keanu Reeves reprising the role in Ballerina, now’s a good time to look back at how this little action franchise that could came to be.

Flashback to the fall of 2014. Keanu Reeves, while already a legend, was struggling to reinvent himself as a now middle-aged star.

Suited and booted, Yen turns to role as public prosector cum ass-kicking vigilante as a late-stage career recalibration

Developed by China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate and directed by butt-kicking luminary Donnie Yen, The Prosecutor is a bizarre mashup of courtroom procedural and action flick; it is just as keen on lionising due process and the “shining light” of Chinese justice as it is on reducing civic infrastructure to smithereens in several standout bouts. But Yen, who looks undeniably good in a suit, is more convincing on his habitual fisticuff grounds than the jurisprudential ones.

Yen plays Fok, a one-time hotshot cop who – leaving the force after some over-zealous policing – decides to man the “final gate” of justice and become a public prosecutor. Like a low-carb Perry Mason with years of Brazilian jiu-jitsu behind him, trouble keeps knocking on his door. Suspecting that a young drug smuggler (Mason Yung) whose...

On June 5, the IndieWire Honors Spring 2025 ceremony will celebrate the creators and stars responsible for some of the most impressive and engaging work of this TV season. Curated and selected by IndieWire’s editorial team, IndieWire Honors is a celebration of the creators, artisans, and performers behind television well worth toasting. In the days leading up to the event, IndieWire is showcasing their work with new interviews and tributes from their peers.

Ahead, journalist and “Ren Faire” executive producer David Gauvey Herbert shares the story of his first meeting with Magnify Award winner Lance Oppenheim, and what he observed working alongside him on their critically acclaimed HBO three-part docu-drama.

Several years ago, after a brief Zoom courtship, I met Lance at Frank’s Wine Bar in Carroll Gardens and ordered him his first-ever martini. The waitress considered carding him, but then took me, I think, for a responsible, much older brother.

First Daughter Ivanka Trump posted a photo of herself and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Bjj) instructor Gui Valente on the mat to her X account. Trump is pictured lifting Valente off the ground during their training session.

This isn’t the first time Trump has done Jiu-Jitsu.

President Donald Trump‘s daughter trained with all three Valente brothers, Joaquim, Gui and Pedro, at their South Florida Bjj academy just last month. They worked on various techniques, such as positional advantages for ground fighting and submissions.

Joaquim is best known as the father of supermodel Gisele Bündchen‘s new child.

According to their website, the Valente Brothers’ mission is to “raise the physical confidence and overall wellness of students of all ages by teaching a complete and efficient self-defense skill set within a safe, clean, positive and respectful environment.”

Trump isn’t the only government-related trainee the brothers have had.

Netflix's Rebel Ridge might have been the hit action movie of 2024, but its fight scenes failed to impress a real Navy Seal, who has rated the film for realism and accuracy. Starring Aaron Pierre and written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, Rebel Ridge was released last year to sensational reviews from fans and critics, holding a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Pierre, who already has a background in martial arts like boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, put his skills on full display in Rebel Ridge, with many fans labeling the fight scenes as accurate. But one Navy Seal had some major notes on the film's tense action.

DJ Shipley, a former Navy Seal, recently sat down with Insider to rate fight scenes from action movies. When he watched Rebel Ridge, he immediately started picking apart the film's depiction of firearms and police tactics. Reacting to the scene where Terry (Pierre) and...

Tom Hardy has revealed that a lifetime of gruelling stunts and fight scenes has left his body struggling to recover. In an interview with Esquire U.K., the 47-year-old actor detailed multiple surgeries and chronic ailments tied to performances ranging from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises to Max Rockatansky in Mad Max: Fury Road. “I’ve had two knee surgeries now, my disc’s herniated in my back, I’ve got sciatica as well,” he said. “And I pulled my tendon in my hip. It’s all falling to bits now, and it’s not going to get better.”

Hardy’s willingness to embrace physical risk has defined roles in films such as The Revenant, Warrior and the Venom trilogy, which together grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide. He described chainsaw juggling and unicycling for the camera in Sony’s Venom series as efforts to test his limits. When asked about a potential crossover with Spider-Man,...

Action movie icon Jean-Claude Van Damme is back in action in the new trailer for next month’s The Gardener. And "The Muscles from Brussels" will flex his comedy biceps as well as his action ones in this tale of a mysterious gardener who finds himself protecting U.S. senior official Serge Shuster and his family after he finds himself on a hit list. Thankfully, Van Damme is no ordinary gardener and boasts a particular set of skills far beyond pruning. You can check out the new trailer for The Gardener below.

Directed by David Charhon (The Last Mercenary) and written by Charhon, Vincent De Brus, and Sebastien Fechner, The Gardener stars Michaël Youn, Nawell Madani, Kaaris, Matthias Quiviger, Jérôme Le Banner, and Carla Poquin alongside Van Damme. The Gardener is all set to land in theaters and on VOD on June 6, 2025, and alongside the newly released footage, you can...

First of all, I’d like to apologize for bringing you news regarding Logan Paul’s podcast. I’m not happy about it either. The phrase “we have news regarding Logan Paul’s podcast” is something that would be whispered in my ear to dismay like George W. Bush hearing about 9/11 at that book reading.

What was the subject of conversation? Among other things, parenting. Which is even more confusing, as talking to Logan Paul about setting a positive example for children is like talking to Henry Kissinger about ethics in warfare. More specifically, Brady’s participation in his own televised roast clearly still occupies troubling space within his beautiful, perfectly alkaline skull.

Credit where credit’s due, he takes responsibility for his own participation instead of passing the buck to specific comics who were simply doing their job. He says that, though he personally had no problem with how...

Some folks dance with danger, but Keanu Reeves grapples it to the ground and makes it tap out.

We’ve seen action heroes disarm nukes, uppercut gravity, and sprint through bullets like they’re falling confetti. But Reeves? He doesn’t just sell the violence; he masters it. Beneath the brutal ballet of John Wick lies the sinewy engine of it all: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

And now, as Ballerina slinks toward its long-awaited release on June 6, Ana de Armas steps into the kill zone in pointe shoes and combat boots. She’s fierce. She’s aflame. She’s axe-happy. But if she truly wants to channel the soul of Wick, she’ll need to borrow more than just his stare. She needs his Gi.

Training footage confirms it: Reeves is back in the dojo, and so is Bjj.

The smell of sand, sangria, and sunblock is slowly titillating the nostrils of the country as summer edges into existence. Marking the return of a summer of film with a bang is everyone's favorite cinematic enigma, Nicolas Cage, who is teaming up with Lionsgate to bring a sun-scorched psychological thriller in The Surfer. Scheduled for theatrical release on Friday, May 2, 2025, the movie boasts a talented ensemble that includes the likes of Nicholas Cassim, Miranda Tapsell, Alexander Bertrand, Justin Rosniak, Rahel Romahn, Finn Little, and Charlotte Maggi, joining Cage and Charmed's Julian McMahon in a project directed by Vivarium's Lorcan Finnegan and written by Prime Target's Thomas Martin.

As the release date of the movie ticks ever closer, responses are starting to trickle in from more critics, adding to those who first saw the movie way back in May 2024 at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. According to these critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes,...

Be it Pigs and Whistle in Legends, a barren wasteland in Mad Max: Fury Road, or an old wooden cabin in Havoc, seeing Tom Hardy fighting in films gives us this one thought: ‘If you ever come across a guy like this, don’t even plead, just run.’ Because, one, he won’t listen; two, if he gets you, you are done. The English actor was recently seen in Gareth Evans’ street-level John Wick-esque film, where he plays a corrupt cop, Walker, on mayoral candidate Beaumont’s (Forest Whitaker) payroll, trying to save the politician’s son.

Recently, Hardy and Evans appeared in a chat with Letterboxd, one of the most beloved communities among moviegoers, where the former shared how he brings that animalistic personality into those fearsome fighting sequences. He said:

With fighting, I always look for an animal. I think of animals like the orangutan or the gorilla,...

It’s been twelve years since Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans gave us The Raid 2 — arguably one of the greatest action films ever created — and I’ve been impatiently waiting for a third installment in the series ever since. As each year passes, that third film seems less and less likely; however, Evans is returning to the action genre with Havoc, a new film coming to Netflix with an all-star cast including Tom Hardy, Timothy Olyphant and Forest Whitaker. Sadly, Havoc feels like an empty shell void of the magic that made Evan’s other entries in the genre feel so fresh and innovative.

The plot

Walker (Tom Hardy) is a tough and grizzled cop with a complicated relationship to Lawrence Beaumont (Forest Whitaker), a politician with a dark past. When Lawrence’s son, Charlie, is involved in a drug deal gone wrong, he enlists Walker to find his son and bring him in alive.

Bella Ramsey has never been one to shy away from the spotlight, but not every moment in it feels like a victory lap. While the Last of Us star’s non-binary identity sparked widespread conversation, there’s a part of them that wishes it hadn’t turned into headline fuel. For someone who values authenticity, the attention sometimes felt less like support and more like spectacle.

In a world eager to label and dissect, their quiet truth quickly became a loud headline, and maybe not for the reasons they’d hoped.

Bella Ramsey says there’s one question on The Last of Us press tour they’re rather weary of having to answer.

The 21-year-old star of HBO’s apocalyptic drama told iHeart Radio that there’s a certain topic that keeps being asked about over and over again.

“I’ve been on a three-week press tour, and this is the most common question I get asked: ‘So, Bella, Ellie was 14 in season one [of The Last of Us], she’s now 19 in season two, there’s a five-year age gap, how did you prepare to play an older Ellie in season two?'” Ramsey recounted.

Ramsey playfully exclaimed: “I’ve grown up! Ellie’s grown up! There’s nothing to tell! I’ve got nothing to say to you! I’m going to get asked that question, probably every day for the next few weeks. So, no offense to everyone asking that question,...

Chuck Norris can be really vicious with his kicks. He is a trained martial artist who has a black belt in Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and judo. Norris was invited to play a villain role in The Way of the Dragon by Bruce Lee, and Steve McQueen suggested that he take acting seriously. He has numerous Hollywood projects to his name.

Even during his 50s, Norris continued to practice his martial arts skills passionately. In a video that surfaced on X, he can be seen demonstrating some killer kicks with Benny Urquidez. It appears that he would’ve given Joe Rogan a run for his money with those kicks.

Bella Ramsey was an instant fan favorite when they debuted as Lyanna Mormont in the sixth season of Game of Thrones. The pint-sized leader of Bear Island immediately bulldozed over characters many times her age, announcing herself as a force to be reckoned with and building a home in the hearts of fans.

Ramsay would have been around 12 years old when those episodes aired, and younger when they were filmed. Years later, Ramsey plays Ellie on The Last of Us, quite possibly the most successful show HBO has made since the end of Game of Thrones. Success just sticks to them.

That said, Ramsey isn't a huge fan of watching back their performance as Lyanna Mormont. “I’m only at a point now I can watch it," Ramsey said on The Jonathan Ross Show, per Cbr. “It made me cringe a bit. I found it so bizarre it was me.

Here’s What Keanu Reeves Once Said About His Training For The Matrix & John Wick(Photo Credit –Facebook)

When Keanu Reeves was switching between a black trench coat and a bulletproof suit, fans couldn’t help but wonder: what’s tougher – kung-fu wirework or judo gunplay? Reeves had the answer, and it came with puppies. In a throwback appearance on BuzzFeed’s YouTube channel, Reeves sat down to field fan questions while snuggling adorable puppies.

One fan asked about his training for The Matrix versus John Wick, and Reeves dropped the full scoop: “I did a lot of training and it was really fun. The Matrix, the first time was learning wire and kung-fu. That was months and months and months. John Wick was judo and jiu-jitsu and a lot more gun manipulation. And there was lots and lots and lots and lots.”

Keanu Reeves’ answer pretty much summed it up.

Bella Ramsey is currently one of the stars of the smash-hit zombie franchise The Last of Us. But before that, they were Lady Lyanna Mormont on the fantasy series Game of Thrones.

Lyanna was a bold and fierce young lady and she quickly became a fan favorite, despite the fact that she was doomed. It was this role that helped propel Ramsey to their Last of Us success. But despite Ramsey's performance as Lyanna being praised from virtually all quarters, Ramsey hates watching their scenes in the show.

They explained it all during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show. “I’m only at a point now I can watch it," Ramsey told Ross, via Yahoo. “It made me cringe a bit. I found it so bizarre it was me. You do get used to it.” It's not uncommon for actors to wince when watching the scenes they did at the beginning of their career.

The second season of The Last of Us, based on Naughty Dog's popular video game series, premieres on HBO this Sunday. The first season followed Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they ventured across a post-apocalyptic United States, finally settling in the relatively peaceful town of Jackson, Wyoming. Ellie was 14 years old in the first season. The second season will jump five years ahead, so she'll be 19.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, some fans on social media have been complaining that Ramsey isn't a good fit for Ellie "because they’re not big and strong enough to be that character" after the story jumps ahead in time. At 5'1", Ramsey is indeed on the shorter side, but I can't say I understand the argument. Neither does showrunner Craig Mazin.

"One of the reasons why we show a fight scene early is to address what I think is...

Tom Hardy is not interested in the law, only disorder, in the latest action-packed look at his long-awaited thriller, Havoc. Netflix has now unleashed new footage from the highly anticipated action outing, which sees the Mad Max: Fury Road star join forces with The Raid director Gareth Evans for what promises to be one of the best action movies of the year. You can check out the new Havoc trailer below.

Written and directed by Evans, Hardy will be joined in Havoc by Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker and star of Justified and The Mandalorian, Timothy Olyphant. Making up the rest of the supporting cast are Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li, Yeo Yann Yann (American Born Chinese), Quelin Sepulveda (Good Omens), Luis Guzmán (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), Sunny Pang (Headshot), and Michelle Waterson (Fright Night). Havoc is due to hit Netflix with a bang later this month on April...

As The Last of Us returns for a second season on April 13, showrunner Craig Mazin has responded to renewed discussion around Bella Ramsey’s appearance as Ellie, particularly in relation to the five-year time jump between seasons.

In the video game, Ellie ages from 14 to 19, with noticeable changes in build and stature. Ramsey, who was 19 during production, kept a similar physical profile to their Season 1 appearance. At 5’1″, Ramsey’s height has drawn criticism from some viewers who were expecting a closer resemblance to the game’s older version of the character.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Mazin addressed the online reaction. “Ellie in the game looks much older. Some people do change quite dramatically and some people don’t,” he said. “I’m not interested in the physical aspect — although I’ve been looking at Bella’s face for years while editing, and I can see that they’ve certainly grown.

When it comes to adaptations of IP with huge fan bases, it’s impossible to please everyone, but there are some controversies that just feel unnecessary. Take for instance the recent online criticism over Bella Ramsey’s appearance in “The Last of Us” Season 2. In the video game, as with the series, a five-year gap separates the two narrative installments, with main character Ellie jumping from 14 years old to 19 and putting on a good deal of muscle and height between that time. Though Ramsey was actually 19 when they shot Season 2, they opted not to beef up too much for the part and remains at 5’1″, sparking many to criticize the choice to cast them.

However, in a recent interview in The Hollywood Reporter, co-creator and showrunner Craig Mazin shared that he remains confident in his decision to bring Ramsey onto the project despite not perfectly matching the source material’s visuals.

At the film‘s Los Angeles premiere on Thursday, Davis noted how “it was a long ride” to release the movie after working on it as a producer since 2016.

Standing alongside husband and producing partner Julius Tennon, Davis told The Hollywood Reporter that the project “was just different for us — it seemed like a very commercial, fun movie, out of the box; something that people wouldn’t normally see me in but that I was very capable of. So, to actually see it brought to fruition, it just makes you proud of our capabilities [and] our vision.”

In "Snatch," things aren't looking good for bare-knuckle boxing promoter Turkish (Jason Statham) when he loses his fighter to an injury and wants to switch him out for "One Punch" Mickey O'Neil (Brad Pitt). The news doesn't go down well with violent pig-obsessed crime lord Brick Top (Alan Ford), who stands to lose a lot of money from the bets that've already been placed. "I don't care if he's Muhammad 'I'm hard' Bruce Lee. You can't change fighters!" he protests.

A British gangster movie might not seem the most obvious place for a reference to the martial arts movie legend that is Bruce Lee, but it just goes to show how the enduring legacy of the screen icon has infiltrated just about every corner of popular culture. He has also influenced a vast range of directors and actors like Statham, who has become a huge action star in his own...

Dark Match, from Wolfcop director Lowell Dean, is a wild, blood-soaked mashup of indie wrestling and satanic horror that feels like it was birthed in the mind of a pro wrestling fan who fell asleep watching films like The Green Room and Mandy after eating an entire batch of mommas special brownies. Set in the gloriously grimy 1980s, Dark Match sees a ragtag crew of small-time territory wrestlers against a cult led by none other than wrestling legend Chris Jericho, chewing scenery like it’s a steel chair in a No Dq match. Does it deliver a piledriver of fun, or does it tap out under the weight of its own ambitions? Let’s step into the squared circle and discuss.
