Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg were Netflix’s shining stars last week, as their latest action comedy The Union was the most-watched title on the platform from August 12 to 18 with 33.1M views.

The second most-watched title, which was top dog in TV, was none other than Emily in Paris Season 4A. The new episodes debuted to 19.9M views, with Seasons 1 and 3 also making appearances on the list in ninth and tenth place, respectively.

This series will definitely have legs over the next few weeks, as the remainder of the season is set to release on September 12, which will likely result in another boost of viewership to keep Season 4 on the charts.

American Murder: Laci Peterson debuted at No. 2 on the English TV List with 12.4M views, while The Umbrella Academy managed third place with 7.6M views. Matt Rife’s comedy special Lucid also debuted last week, performing quite well with...

Exclusive: After partnering with Live Nation on one of the largest comedy tours in 20+ years, comedian Matt Rife is expanding his relationship with the company with a second world tour, as well as a new feature project.

Rife will be among the leads of Rolling Loud, an R-rated comedy co-produced by Live Nation Productions, which will film at the hip-hop festival of the same name this winter, as its 10th edition takes place in Miami from December 13-15. The deal reflects Rife’s longtime drive to bolster his acting career amid his busy touring schedule. It’s the second high-profile project he’s taken on recently, on the heels of a gym-set workplace comedy currently in development, which he’ll write and star in for Netflix, as we told you first.

Rolling Loud is inspired by the true story of an overprotective father who makes the worst parenting decision of...

If you were already dreading shelling out hundreds of dollars to secure Sony’s next-gen console when it arrives in November, you might want to sit down before giving this latest revelation a read.

Following yesterday’s long-awaited showcase – which included several game trailers as well as an official release date and price for PlayStation 5 – the company confirmed in a subsequent post over on PlayStation Blog that the long-standing $60 cap on triple-a titles is being retired in favor of $70. The 16% increase won’t be applicable for all games – some of which will start at $50 – but as far as first-party exclusives are concerned, it seems the premium is here to stay.

As confirmed by Sie president and CEO Jim Ryan, Insomniac’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales as well as Bluepoint’s mesmerizing Demon’s Souls remake will fall into this category, with third-party publishers also free to charge the revised price, if they so wish.

Billy Zane will produce and take the lead role in “Waltzing With Brando,” playing Marlon Brando in a film based on a memoir by the iconic actor’s architect, Bernard Judge.

The memoir tells the story of how Brando plucked Judge, an obscure but idealistic Los Angeles architect from his stable existence and convinced him that he should build the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on a tiny and uninhabitable Tahitian island.

Bill Fishman will write and direct the movie. Additional casting is underway, notably for the role of Judge. The project reunites Fishman and Zane after they worked together on the 1993 Western “Posse.”

The film will be set primarily between 1969 and 1974, a period during which Brando was preparing to star in “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.” The action will show Brando’s interaction with Judge as they spend time together on the island and work up...

Film Festival, young British filmmaker Adam Morse has revealed in public for the first time that he is registered as a blind person.

The film, which is nominated for Edinburgh’s prestigious Michael Powell Award in the Best of British category, follows a lonely young introvert, played by Laurie Calvert, who has a crush on a dancer, but can’t pluck up the courage to talk to her.
