We won’t have to wait too long to see a new film from director Paul Greengrass (“News of The World”) as his California wildfire pic “The Lost Bus” is expected to be released later in the year and he’s now gearing up on his next project, a period drama called “The Rage.”

An update has been revealed as Andrew Garfield is now in the mix to star in “The Rage,” as the actor is said to be in “active negotiations.” Based on the true-life event of the Peasants’ Revolt of the late 1300s, Deadline revealed the casting switch-up that sees Garfield replacing the original high-profile actor selected to lead it, Matthew McConaughey.

Andrew Garfield is in talks to join the cast of Jason Bourne director Paul Greengrass' next movie. The Spider-Man: No Way Home star will replace Matthew McConaughey in The Rage.

Deadline reports that Garfield will play a character loosely inspired by the real life revolutionary Wat Tyler, though the website cautioned the inspiration for the Tick, Tick... Boom! actor's character hasn't been confirmed. Regardless, The Rage will take place during the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England, where a group of protesters marched from Canterbury to London to demand socio economic reforms and a cancellation of the poll tax from King Richard II.

Andrew Garfield Joins Period Drama The Rage

If Garfield is playing Wat Tyler, he would be following the footsteps of Anthony Hopkins — who played the rebel in 1969's Medieval England: The Peasants Revolt. Benedict Cumberbatch was originally attached to play Tyler in The Rage before McConaughey came on board.

Exclusive: In one of the bigger deals being thrashed out during the Cannes market, we hear that Focus Features is working on a domestic pact in the $11M range for Paul Greengrass’ peasant revolt movie The Rage.

Two-time Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield is now in active negotiations to join the movie in the lead role, taking over from Matthew McConaughey.

The film is set during the Peasants’ Revolt, a major uprising that took part across large parts of England in 1381 in response to socio-economic and political tensions and high taxation. Should a deal get done, which we understand is likely, Garfield would play a farmer who becomes the leader of the revolt. It has been speculated that the character could be based on the legendary Wat Tyler, who led the uprising before being killed by forces loyal to King Richard, though this is unconfirmed.

Garfield’s English background (the dual UK-u.

The cult actor was diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson’s disease in 2016, which were stabilized until last week when he collapsed. Friend and colleague Russell “GreWolf” Mauck shared the update on Facebook:

“He’s still cognitive, so that’s good, but his body is failing. Reggie and Gigi [his wife] had planned ahead and made an advanced directive. As a result, Reggie will be going home from the V.A. soon, for home hospice care.

“There is no prognosis or time frame.

Matthew McConaughey has booked another role. The actor is set to star in The Rage, an upcoming medieval action movie set during the Peasants' Revolt.

According to Deadline, McConaughey will play a farmer who becomes the leader of the revolt. Although unconfirmed, Deadline notes that the character description could imply that he's playing the real-life figure Wat Tyler, who led the uprising before being killed by forces loyal to King Richard. Interestingly enough, when The Rage was first announced back in May 2022 under its original title The Hood, it was Benedict Cumberbatch who was attached as the farmer-turned-leader. However, Cumberbatch is seemingly no longer involved with the project, possibly due to his forthcoming commitments to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Matthew McConaughey is heading to the 14th century for The Rage, from director Paul Greengrass. More on the movie here.

Over the years, we’ve seen Matthew McConaughey’s characters use those twinkly eyes and endless reserves of charisma to achieve all sorts of things, but an upcoming project will see him tackle on something that could be resistant to all of the actor’s many charms: punishingly high taxes in Medieval England.

According to Deadline, the project – titled The Rage – is one of the hotter projects that is getting bidders excited ahead of the upcoming European Film Market. As well as having McConaughey attached to lead, Paul Greengrass has scripted the project and is directing. The prospect of the former documentarian bringing his trademark verité style to the mud and blood of 14th Century England is a pretty compelling thought.

There’s nothing like the first time. Your first published novel. Your first Prom. First telekinetic murder spree. Whatever. In the case of the 1974 novel, Carrie, it was Stephen King’s first time having a book published. It would also be the first piece of his work to ever grace the silver screen. Carrie would be released in 1976 on its way to becoming an all-time horror classic. In the film, Sissy Spacek plays an extremely shy and sheltered High School girl who is bullied relentlessly at home and school. At home, her mother is a complete and total nutbar salad who has weaponized her religious beliefs against her daughter. She locks her in the closet with this little coked-out Jesus statue and has for all intents and purposes ruined her chance at a normal life. One day at school, Carrie gets her period for the first time while in the community showers.

This Spring saw the 50th anniversary of the book that made Stephen King an instant household name. In 1974, his first published novel, Carrie, became a bestseller. In 1976, Brian De Palma gave it a smash-hit adaptation. King's tale of a sensitive outsider with a deadly gift continues to resonate with new generations of fans, inspiring two remakes and even a sequel. None of these films quite manage to recapture the magic of the original, but there is clearly a reason why filmmakers can't stop trying to take Carrie White to Prom.

It is ironic that a story about the world's least popular teenager would become so popular itself, but King's compelling prose and De Palma's captivating style secured Carrie's fame. The Oscar-nominated performances of Sissy Spacek in the title role and Piper Laurie as her fanatical mother are unrepeatable, and Carrie's telekinetic take-down of her treacherous classmates can't be beat.

The new episode of ‘Shark Tank India’ season 3 witnessed a unique pitch by Suraj Pusarla, founder of ‘The Rage Room’, an unconventional space where individuals can unleash their stress and find therapeutic release through controlled destruction.

Hailing from Hyderabad, Suraj’s inspiration for ‘The Rage Room’, established in October 2022, stems from his struggle with anger issues and a short temper during childhood.

At ‘The Rage Room’, participants can let out their anger and frustration in a safe, controlled environment, leaving them feeling more relaxed and refreshed.

In a unique pitch, he crafts a similar experience for the sharks on the business reality show, to bag a deal of Rs 20 lakh in exchange for 30 per cent equity in his brand.

Anupam Mittal (Founder and CEO of Shaadi.com), said: “Oh! It’s a rage room. I get it.”

The Marrakech International Film Festival has unveiled the 25 projects selected for the sixth edition of its industry-focused Atlas Workshops, aimed at nurturing emerging Moroccan, Arab and African talent.

Running from November 27 to 30, the event will present 16 projects in development and nine films in production or post-production from 11 countries, selected from among the 320 applications received from the Arab world and African continent.

In a reflection of the growing diversity of the stories being told by Arab and African independent filmmakers, the selection spans a diverse range of film genres, from Lebanese director Sandra Tabet’s horror picture Rabies to Moroccan filmmaker Hind Bensari’s humanist documentary Out of School and Adnane Baraka’s poetic work We Don’t Forget.

Moroccan filmmaker Baraka made waves with his documentary Fragments from Heaven, about a nomad living in a tent in a remote part of Morocco who goes in search of meteorite fragments to boost the family fortunes.

Could anyone have guessed when Stephen King published his first novel Carrie in 1974 that it would spawn no fewer than four big screen adaptations? Brian De Palma’s 1976 version remains the first and best, but each subsequent filmmaker who comes at the material seeks to find something new and unexplored in King’s book. Of the two remakes and one sequel released in the last 16 years, only one movie has succeeded in being different enough to justify its own existence. It’s The Rage: Carrie 2, and it’s being packaged with the 2002 made-for-tv remake on a new double feature Blu-ray from Scream Factory.

By now you already know the story of Carrie White, a shy and awkward teenage girl raised by a religious zealot mother and possessing some major telekinetic abilities. When some kids at school decide play a big, bloody prank on her the prom, Carrie retaliates with...
