Special Ops: Lioness draws inspiration from a real-life Marine Corps task force. While the show explores the concept of female troops building relationships with women to gather intelligence, it goes beyond what the real team would have been instructed to do.

The spy thriller Special Ops: Lioness, the latest show from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, has roots in real-life conflict, which may leave viewers wondering if the story and characters are based on real life too. The Paramount+ series has a stacked cast including Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman. It follows Saldaña's Joe, a CIA officer in charge of the Lioness program, and her rookie operative Cruz (De Oliveira) as she attempts to befriend the daughter of a suspected terrorist in order to bring down the operation from the inside.

There have been 3 episodes of Special Ops: Lioness so far, with new installments dropping on Paramount+ each week.

He will serve as showrunner of the project, which is based on Janet Reitman’s New York Times Magazine feature How The Death Of A Muslim Recruit Revealed A Culture Of Brutality In The Marines.

The series will explore the story of the death of US Marine Corps recruit Siddiqui and American Muslim Fakhraie will chronicle the moments leading up to Siddiqui’s abrupt death and the corrupt, abusive culture it uncovered

In 2016, after days of continuous hazing and harassment, Siddiqui, a new, young Muslim Marine Corps recruit, fell to his death at Parris Island bootcamp in front of several of his fellow recruits. Investigations into...

Interview Duncan Bowles 14 Aug 2013 - 07:41

Ahead of his scene-stealing role in 2 Guns, Bill Paxton talks about auditioning, Edge Of Tomorrow, and playing Hudson in Aliens...

Bill Paxton is a legend. Here at Den Of Geek, he needs little introduction, as his work with James Cameron alone has been enough to secure his reputation as a cinema icon - from the small role as a punk in The Terminator, to the hysterical Hudson in Aliens, as well as a sleazy Simon In True Lies and a rather more grounded Brock in Titanic, there’s nothing he hasn’t excelled at.

While Paxton’s mortality rate in movies is high enough to give Sean Bean a run for his money – he has the dubious honour of dying by Terminator, Predator and Alien, although there’s some debate about whether his character dies during the T-800 scuffle - the beauty of his...

In October of 2010, Sound on Sight asked me to do my first commemorative piece on the passing of filmmaker Arthur Penn. I suspect I was asked because I was the only one writing for the site old enough to have seen Penn’s films in theaters. Whatever the reason, it was an unexpectedly rewarding if expectedly bittersweet experience which led to a series of equally rewarding but bittersweet experiences writing on the passing of other filmdom notables.

I say rewarding because it gave me a nostalgic-flavored chance to revisit certain work and the people behind it; a revisiting which often brought back the nearly-forgotten youthful excitement that went with an eye-opening, a discovery, the thrill of the new. Writing them has also been bittersweet because each of these pieces is a formal acknowledgment that something precious is gone. A talent may be perhaps preserved forever on celluloid, but the filmography...

In the first part of our extensive interview with actor Michael Biehn, we got to chat about his 1980s work in The Terminator, Aliens, and much, much more…

Anyone who’s familiar with my writing will know that I have a great love of under-appreciated actors. I’ll use any opportunity available to praise their work, and draw attention to films and performances that sometimes pass by relatively unnoticed.

Michael Biehn, for my money, is the most under-appreciated actor of them all. I’m sure most of our readers hold him in high regard, since he’s starred in several of the greatest films ever made, but to the general public, he’s less widely recognised.

Best known for playing father of the future, Kyle Reese, in The Terminator and D Hicks in Aliens (I’m well aware what the initial stands for, but I was crushed when the Special...

Character actor who portrayed smarmy politicians, sadistic generals and unspeakable authoritarian figures

There is a scene in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather: Part II (1974) that crystallises the entire film career of the character actor Gd Spradlin, who has died aged 90. As the corrupt senator Pat Geary, Spradlin asks the mafia boss Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) for a bribe, so that he can grant gaming licences to the "family" for several casinos in Nevada. During the meeting, Geary launches into an attack on the Corleones, a name he pronounces with derision. "I intend to squeeze you. I don't like your kind of people. I don't like to see you come out to this clean country with oily hair and trussed up in those silk suits trying to pass yourselves off as decent Americans. I'll do business with you, but the fact is I despise you masquerading in the dishonest way you pose yourself.

Although his contributions to The Curse are slight, goremeister Lucio Fulci’s unique touch of horror can be seen in this Italian production. As a director, his best days were behind him, but that didn’t mean his talent was completely lost. To call yourself a true fan of someone’s work you really need to watch everything they were involved with; the good and the bad. The Curse has all the earmarks of what was great about spaghetti horror in the 80′s: sloppy make-up FX, a weird storyline and and a broad cast of characters – one of them being Malcolm Danare of Christine (see retrospective here) fame.

Jason Bene: As you are fully aware, the 1980′s were dominated by Stephen King adaptions. It was a nice change of pace to see a story of H.P. Lovecraft’s, The Colour Out of Space, being turned into a feature film. What...

Subject: Michael Biehn, 53-year old American actor (turned writer and director)

Date of Assessment: March 2, 2011

Positive Buzzwords: Intensity, ability to speak wordless volumes, James Cameron

Negative Buzzwords: Lack of star power, James Cameron

The Case: Upon initial contemplation of this week's subject, the first question that springs to mind is this: What the hell ever happened to Michael Biehn? Such an involuntary reaction is based upon an assumption that Biehn's a relatively lost visage of the 1980s; but anyone who's been paying attention would realize that Biehn's been (for the most part) working steadily as an actor even though his big-time blockbuster roles have long since ceased to exist. Naturally, he came from humble beginnings by steadily landing a lot of television work, including both regular series (even an "ABC Afternoon Special") and made-for-tv movies before moving into feature films. Upon arrival within the celluloid realm, Biehn initially appeared to...

Michael Biehn revisits Johnny Ringo in Tombstone

The classic 1993 western Tombstone, starring the incredible ensemble cast of Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, and Michael Biehn is set to make its highly anticipated Blu-ray debut on April 27th. This iconic and much-loved film follows Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) in their heyday leading up to the gunfight at the Ok Corral. Genre favorite Michael Biehn stars as Johnny Ringo, the fastest gun in the West and perpetual thorn in Doc Holiday's side. We recently caught up with the actor, who has appeared in such hits as Aliens, The Terminator, and Navy Seals, to reminisce about this truly great film. We chatted about moustaches, the firing of first time director Kevin Jarre, and why Biehn will never reunite with his co-star Bill Paxton on Big Love. Here's what the actor had to say:

Tombstone has,...

I'm not that interested in Big Love anyway Throughout the 80s, Bill Paxton and Michael Biehn shared some mighty strong on-screen chemistry in such hit films as Aliens, The Terminator, and Tombstone, so it seems like a no-brainer that the two might reunite on an episode of Paxton's hit HBO series Big Love sometime in the near future. Sadly that will mostly likely never happen according to Biehn, who was out promoting the upcoming Tombstone Blu-ray release, which hits stores on April 27th. The actor tells us that producers once considered him for the part of Bill's Uncle Eddie, and then much to his chagrin, turned around and gave it to someone else. Which didn't sit well with Biehn at all. Here is what he told us:

You and Bill Paxton always have such great chemistry on screen. And you've been in quite a few films together. Is there any...

Canadian actor Matt Frewer is probably best known for portraying that icon of 1980s computer animation and music videos, Max Headroom. Headroom's jerks and stutters are but a small sample of this talented and versatile actor's work, though.

On the big screen Frewer's credits go back to Franc Roddam's The Lords of Discipline (1983) and include such diverse material as Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Frankie and Alice (with Halle Barry), Uwe Boll's Darfur and two films for director Zack Snyder: Dawn of the Dead and Watchmen.

Frewer has also portrayed Sherlock Holmes in several television movies and appeared in a long list of TV series. He was a regular on Doctor, Doctor, CBC’s Intelligence and Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (for which he also wrote a script). He has lent his distinctive voice to characters in animated adventures of The Incredible Hulk,...
