Indie streamer Nebula has unveiled its first original scripted series, dark anthology Sub/liminal with Oscar winner Dan Jinks on board to executive produce.

Sub/liminal is touted as resembling The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror as it explores power dynamics in human relationships and what happens when those relationships go off kilter. The first season will be six standalone episodes, with stories from Nebula content creators brought to the screen by seasoned directors and producers.

The series is set to begin production later this year and underlines efforts by Nebula as an indie streaming platform to work with big name Hollywood players.

“Dan Jinks has an Oscar. I’m doing whatever he says,” Nebula CEO Dave Wiskus said in a statement.

Indie streaming service Nebula has set its first-ever scripted original series, “Sub/liminal,” with Oscar-winning producer Dan Jinks on board to executive produce.

Per Nebula, “The new dark anthology series from the indie streamer will be in the vein of The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. The show will explore power dynamics in human relationships, and what can happen when those relationships fall out of balance.”

The six-episode first season of “Sub/liminal” will feature stories from Nebula creators made in partnership with seasoned directors and producers. Nebula CEO Dave Wiskus will executive produce alongside Jinks.

“Sub/liminal” is set to begin production later this year.

“I’m very much looking forward to working with Dave Wiskus and the amazing writers and directors he has assembled at Nebula for this exciting new series,” Jinks said.

Sleater-Kinney have dropped a new song, “This Time,” one of three fresh additions to the upcoming deluxe edition of their latest album, Little Rope.

“This Time” is a pensive, steady tune driven by warbling keys and keening guitar, though it does briefly kick into double-time rock and roll over drive. In a statement, Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker said “This Time” was the last song they wrote for Little Rope and also “the last to get cut once we decided we preferred the evenness and succinctness of ten songs.

Sleater-Kinney have revealed “Here Today,” an outtake from their recent album Little Rope.

The track is a meditative rocker that contemplates the brevity of life. It’s paired with a black-and-white video of Los Angeles guerrilla projections — made by activist art collective In Decline — as the lyrics flash across the screen: “You are on the dirty streets/While I sit on heated seats/Pretend we’re not both occupants/Of a world that’s gone insane.”

“We’re excited to share ‘Here Today’ with you,” Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker said in a statement.

Your browser does not support the video tag. The hit Amazon Prime Video series takes its inspiration from Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels. All 28 novels chronicle the action-packed adventures of the military investigator turned drifter. Newcomers to Jack Reacher can take what the full canon offers.

Reacher expertly takes its inspiration from Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels. For decades, all 28 novels chronicle the action-packed adventures of the military investigator turned drifter. Although not every book in the series is a masterpiece, it has consistently delivered incredible page-turners. Lee Childs enduring character has transcended the page through movie and television adaptations, including a Tom Cruise film franchise and most recently the hit Amazon Prime Video Reacher starring Alan Ritchson. Movies lifted plot lines directly from printed chapters, further cementing the literary stories cinematic promise through the adaptation process itself.

Now with over 20 books chronicling his exploits, Reachers world provides extensive...

The Jack Reacher book series, which contains almost 30 novels, can be read in any order as most books function as standalone works. Reacher season 1 received positive reviews from critics and viewers, leading to its renewal for a second and third season. Lee Child has published 28 Jack Reacher books as of October 2023, with the 29th installment scheduled for release in late 2024.

If viewers of Reacher on Amazon Prime Video crave more Jack Reacher stories, they are in luck because the show is based on a book series containing almost 30 novels. Thankfully, the series can be read in any order since most books function as standalone works (but with Reacher still as the main character). Lee Child created the franchise when he published the first novel — Killing Floor — in the late 1990s, and it was an immediate hit. The book would set up a beloved series that has been adapted for the screen multiple times,...

Exclusive: An international drama series billed as the “Brazilian Succession” is being developed, with Nothing to Lose director Alexandre Avancini attached.

Diosual Television Studios, the TV arm of Diosual Entertainment, has created Whose Money Is It?, with telenovela writer Solange Castro Neves writing in collaboration with Thalma Bertozzi.

The series is an adaptation of the Brazilian non-fiction book ‘Whose Money Is It? Fear, Luck and Bad Luck: Victories and Stumbles in the Stock Market’ by Adley Piovesan and Homero Chemale.

The plan is for a three-season series, with Diosual seeking co-production and co-investment partners, with two international streamers understood to have been close to closing deals.

The plot is billed as a “a family drama with elements of action and investigation,” taking place in the financial markets of the present day with flashbacks from three decades ago.

Despite singer-songwriter Laetitia Tamko’s singular talents, her career as Vagabon nonetheless traces a familiar arc. Like Sudan Archives and Mitski before her, Tamko has evolved from a DIY indie artist—on her bracing debut EP, Persian Gardens—into something approaching a conventional pop singer. Tamko’s third studio album, Sorry I Haven’t Called, leans in a more tonally upbeat direction than her previous releases, with help from Rostam Batmanglij, who co-produced the album. The result is a serviceable enough pop effort, but much of Tamko’s edges have been sadly sanded away.

Opener “Can I Talk My Shit” is so springy and breezy that the angst and moodiness of Tamko’s past output don’t just seem far off, they feel like the creation of a completely different artist. Here and on “You Know How,” her vocals feel devoid of any distinctive characteristics and are needlessly Auto-Tuned.

Tamko’s voice can be expressive,...

Apparently determined to prove herself francophone cinema’s most inexhaustible precious resource, Virginie Efira once again lights up the screen prior to burning it down in a role that, after Justine Triet’s “Sibyl,” Paul Verhoeven’s “Benedetta” and Rebecca Zlotowski’s “Other People’s Children,” is of a type she has come to define: the strong-willed, smart fortysomething woman chafing against her society’s conformist expectations. Delphine Deloget’s debut “All to Play For” features one of Efira’s more straightforward incarnations of this dramatic type — fewer sly kinks, no arch winks. But she is no less riveting and lovely for it and in Deloget’s confident, gentle grip, she turns in one of her most committed performances, all the more moving for its commitment to valorizing the kind of woman seldom treated on screen with such respect and compassion.

The woman is Sylvie, introduced to us while mid-shift at...

Other People’s Children: Deloget Butts with Bureaucracy in Familial Drama

Virginie Efira continues to explore the arduous spectrum of contemporary motherhood in her latest film, Rien à perdre, the directorial debut of Delphine Deloget. While the English language title, All to Play For might not correctly convey the film’s spirit, the actual translation, Nothing to Lose, is a better indication of the (somewhat) impossible scenario a single mother finds herself thrust into when the social welfare system intervenes in the rearing of her youngest child. Deloget seems intent on showcasing the frustrating errors committed by both parties claiming a stake in one very hapless child’s interests but the foundations of the narrative tend feel a bit exhaustingly soppy by the time the film leads us to a questionable resolution without configuring the requisite desperation to justify itself.…...

Stars are getting ready to walk the Croisette.

The festival had been teasing Scorsese’s film, which stars Leonard DiCaprio, for weeks ahead of the official announcement.

“Killers” will be playing out of competition, alongside the hotly anticipated sequel “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”, as well as Sam Levinson’s TV show with The Weeknd “The Idol”, and the Johnny Depp-starring “Jeanne du Barry”, which will open the festival.

“Asteroid City”, which features an all-star cast including Jason Schwartzman, Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Scarlett Johansson and Tilda Swinton, will be vying for the Palme D’Or in competition.

It’s Christmas morning for cinephiles. As per tradition, the Cannes Film Festival unveiled its 2023 selections in a press conference early this morning––at least for those of us stateside. Now in its 76th edition, this year’s event will take place May 16-27.

With Killers of the Flower Moon and Indiana Jones’ fifth and supposedly final outing previously confirmed, both out of competition, new highlights in competition include Todd Haynes‘ May December, Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, Alice Rohrwacher’s La chimera, Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s About Dry Grasses, and Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves. Additional selections include Víctor Erice’s long-awaiting return to filmmaking Cerrar los ojos, Steve McQueen’s documentary Occupied City, Takeshi Kitano’s Kubi, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s Pictures of Ghosts, plus two films from both Wang Bing and Wim Wenders.

While more announcements will be made in the coming weeks, and there...

The anticipation is running high at the Cannes Film Festival’s packed annual press conference on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, where festival chief Thierry Fremaux is expected to unveil the bulk of the Official Selection for the 76th edition.

The festival has been teasing cinephiles with splashy announcements about Martin Scorsese returning to the Croisette with “Killers of the Flower Moon,” 38 years after winning best director with “After Hour,” as well as Disney’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” and Pedro Almodóvar’s short film, “Strange Way of Life.”

But Fremaux, who is leading the presser with the festival’s new president Iris Knobloch, is expected to have saved a few high-profile surprises, including Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” starring an ensemble cast that includes Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Scarlett Johansson and Tilda Swinton; Todd Haynes’ “May December” with Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore; Karim Aïnouz’s Henry VIII...

Actor Sean Lampkin, best known for his role as bar owner Nipsey on the 1990s sitcom “Martin,” has died. He was 54.

Marsel Watts, a friend of Lampkin, made the announcement in a Facebook post on March 8.

“My friend, my last roommate for 10 years, a father and family man, my brother, skate buddy, business partner, and trainer passed away this morning. Rip Sean Lampkin,” Watts wrote.

According to Essence, writer Memnar Grayton confirmed that Lampkin died in his sleep. However, no cause of death has been released.

“Sean gave us every morning the shining sun to lead his loved ones and friends down paths that are bright and clear of any danger. He gave us streams of love every day when we’re not feeling good, or we don’t seem to not want to do anything,” Grayton said.

Johnny Paycheck would have turned 83 this past Monday. In 1977, he scored three consecutive Top 10 country songs, including his biggest hit, the No. 1 “Take This Job and Shove It.” But while Paycheck, who died at age 64 in 2003, is synonymous with the song about sticking it to — and flipping off — The Man, it was actually written by David Allan Coe. Coe cut his version for his 1978 Family Album and performed it frequently in his shows, including on the latter-day concert document Biketoberfest ’01: Live From the Iron Horse Saloon.

Kelly Preston, who appeared in films including “Mischief,” “Twins” and “Jerry Maguire,” has died after a two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 57.

All my love, Jt.”

Her daughter Ella also posted a tribute on Instagram, writing “I have never met anyone as courageous, strong, beautiful and loving as you. Anyone who is lucky enough to have known you or to have ever been in your...

Decline is due to the country’s economic recession; optimism for 2019

The Brazilian box office fell for the first time for 12 years in 2018 due to the country’s severe recession and the underperformance of blockbusters.

Total box office receipts decreased by 10% to Brl$ 2.4b ($638m) in 2018 from Brl$ 2.7b ($718m) in 2017, according to Filme B, the online content company specialing in collecting and analysing data from the local film market.

Admissions also fell by 10.2% to 164.3m in 2018, continuing a decline that began the year before.

However local films performed slightly better than the box office as a whole. This was largely thanks to one title,...

Kiss reunited with original lead guitarist Ace Frehley for the first time in 17 years for an acoustic set on the annual Kiss Kruise. Frehley joined Kiss for four songs, including “Nothing to Lose” and “Rock and Roll All Nite.” The group also performed their cover of the Rolling Stones’ “2000 Man” – which Frehley sang on 1979’s Dynasty – as well as Hello’s “New York Groove,” which Frehley covered on his 1978 solo debut.

Prior to their rendition of “Nothin’ to Lose,” Frehley said, “This is great… this is so great. Thank you guys for inviting me up.

Less than a week after losing yet another set of lawyers, Bill Cosby was told Friday by the District Attorney that put him behind bars for the 2004 rape of Andrea Constand that his latest sprawling attempt to get a new trial, a new judge or out of prison altogether should be Doa.

“Defendant William H. Cosby, Jr’s motion should be denied without a hearing,” said Montgomery D.A. Kevin Steele’s office today in the most restrained part of their response to the paperwork of October 5, That quilted motion came just under two weeks after the much accused actor once called “America’s Dad” was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison for the assault of Constand, a former Temple University employee.

“This is a timeworn case, and defendant has had his many days, months and years in this court,” Steele and Deputy D.A. Robert Falin also wrote,...

Update: Michael Bregman, son of Martin Bregman, confirmed his father’s passing. Below is a rewrite, my attempt at a proper obit of a storied New York producer.

Martin Bregman, the New York-based producer of such films as Sea of Love, Scarface, Serpico and Carlito’s Way, died Saturday at age 92. His passing was first reported by local New York TV news station Wnbc. His passing was attributed to cerebral hemorrhage, his widow, Cornelia, told News 4’s Chuck Scarborough.

Michael Bregman, a producer with his father on The Bone Collector, Carlito’s Way and several other films, told Deadline his father died after being rushed to Weill Cornell Presbyterian Hospital on East 68th Street early Saturday morning. “It was surprising and surreal; my sister reached me at 1 Am and said come quickly, there’s not much time,” Michael Bregman told Deadline. “We were by his side when he passed at 5:45 Pm Saturday.

Avicii used his set at Tomorrowland this weekend as a platform to debut new music – that much was to be expected. What we didn’t see coming, however, was that he’d gradually begin to adopt tropical house as his style of choice.

Near the end of his set, Avicii premiered three IDs with the working titles “Some Nights,” “The Way It Should” and “Nothing To Lose,” and all of them had distinctly tropical elements. While a slide towards the genre could be traced back to his last couple of releases, it seems to be a bold statement for such a mainstager to abandon their usual style in favor of something so relatively obscure.

That said, characteristic of artists like Kygo, Thomas Jack and Will Sparks, tropical house has grown in popularity substantially over the past few years. Being that Avicii’s sound has leaned more towards acoustic instrumentals in...

I dunno how to properly gauge this first clip from Ralph Ziman’s “Kite,” the adaptation of the popular Japanese anime about a teen hitgirl out for revenge. There’s something a bit off about it, but hey, it’s only a minute-plus clip, and the rest of the movie could be better. They sure went for gruesome, what with the bullet-through-the-hand gag and all. The thing with the old lady was just downright awkward, though. For some reason, I thought they had shot this thing in another language then dubbed it into English, but no? Never Underestimate a Girl with Nothing to Lose. Based on the groundbreaking, cult classic anime, Kite tells the story of Sawa (India Eisley, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” Underworld: Awakening), a young woman living in a corrupt society where crime and gangs terrorize the streets.

Never Underestimate a Girl with Nothing to Lose. Based on the groundbreaking, cult classic anime, Kite tells the story of Sawa (India Eisley, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” Underworld: Awakening), a young woman living in a corrupt society where crime and gangs terrorize the streets. When Sawa’s mother and policeman father are found victims of a grisly double homicide, she begins a ruthless pursuit for the man who murdered them. With the help of her father’s ex-partner, Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Avengers,Django Unchained), and a mysterious friend from her past (Callan McAuliffe, The Great Gatsby, I Am Number Four), she becomes a merciless teen assassin, blasting her way through the dark world of human trafficking only to uncover a devastating truth. Kite will premiere exclusively on Directv on August 28th, followed by a theatrical/VOD release on October 10th.

Jose Mourinho tried to play down the pressure on his side after his side was drawn to play away at Manchester City in the fifth round having overcome Stoke one-nil at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

“It’s good. Our priority for the season is to improve, and to improve you need difficult games. We take on the best team twice in fifteen days. We travel to the best stadium, where they smash every team, where they have scored four, five goals against the big teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United.”

“We have nothing to lose.”

The Blues boss felt his deserved to win more comfortably than the one-nil score line as Chelsea beat Stoke at Stamford Bridge to progress to the fifth round of the Fa Cup on Sunday.

“We played a very good game. The one-zero does not reflect the quality and dominance of our game.

Today, a lot has changed. The trio has announced a July 30 release date for their debut studio album, Nothing to Lose.

You can pre-order the album now. The trio consists of brothers Wesley Stormberg and Keaton Stromberg, and their friend Drew Chadwick. While we first fell in love with...Read more»...

The time has finally come! Nearly five months after Simon Cowell announced he signed ‘X Factor’ finalist Emblem3 to his record label, the band released the album cover, track list and expected release date of their debut album, ‘Nothing To Lose’!

Millions of teenage hearts were broken when Emblem3 was eliminated from X Factor, but as Simon Cowell predicted, the hotties have done just fine since moving on from the show. The boys have a new album on the way. They released the track list and album cover on June 3 — and they look hotter than ever!

In its set-up, new indie action-thriller Vehicle 19 sounds undeniably intriguing. It tells the story of a man who is given the wrong car as the result of a mix-up with the rental agency and, after deciding that he doesn’t mind the change in model, discovers a gun, a cell phone, and a tied-up prisoner in the trunk.

You might not have picked up on this from watching the first two international trailers, but the experiment taking place in the film is that the camera never leaves the car (even though the protagonist might). Presumably, this is intended to communicate some kind of message about the protagonist being irrevocably tied to his unwelcome fate, but it’s a challenging choice that may succeed or fail depending on how well the director – and cinematographer – are able to pull it off.

It’s almost a ...

With uncertainty surrounding the Jack Reacher's movie future, James looks at which of Lee Child's books might work as a sequel...

Last month saw the long awaited on screen debut for Lee Child’s literary creation Jack Reacher, a film which had been raising eyebrows across the globe since its announcement.

First off, there was the choice of which of Lee Child’s 14 Jack Reacher adventures then published would be used for the character’s debut film - but we’ll get to that later. By far, the news that caused the greatest fuss was the casting of the man who would fill his not so small shoes.

Casting Jack Reacher was always going to be a nightmare. The character’s physical appearance, which had been repeatedly played up in Child’s pages was simply impossible to replicate. It could be argued then that...

Ever since breaking onto the music scene in 2003 with their self-titled “debut” album after a lesser known name change, alternative rockers Billy Talent have been surpassing expectations with every new release. Maturing with grace much like a fine wine, their fourth release Dead Silence is no different, being some of their most mesmerizing work yet.

Abandoning the Led Zeppelin album naming convention of just numbering each CD – i.e. Billy Talent, Billy Talent II, Billy Talent III – Dead Silence improves upon the trademark Billy Talent sound in every way possible.

As an album overall, the most prevalent reaction to hit me was “Dead Silence sounds exactly like every other Billy Talent CD,” which I’ve emphatically relished about every other album as well. Billy Talent has found a dynamic sound which is both technically envied and pleasingly unique, perfecting their method with an “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality.

Producers from ABC have been courting Ryan to be the next 'Bachelor' -- and I totally think he should sign up. Keep reading to find out why! After winning two gold, two silver and one bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, one question remains -- is swimmer Ryan Lochte ready to win the heart of one lucky lady as the new Bachelor? I think so! When asked if he'd be up to the challenge, the 28-year-old athlete with the body of a Greek God told HollywoodLife.com, "If they ask me, then I will definitely think about it. But before I commit to it, I will ask my family and see what they think.” Considering that Ryan's mother publicly discussed her son's penchant for one-night stands, I doubt she'd mind if he looked for love on reality TV. Doesn't she want grandchildren, after all?! ABC's Offer To Ryan Lochte -- He's Got Nothing To Lose!

The last man standing gets voted out, paving the way for Sunday's female-dominated finale.

Tarzan in "Survivor: One World"

Give him credit where it's due. If nothing else, the ludicrously entertaining Greg "Tarzan" Smith exited "Survivor: One World" exactly as you'd want him to: wearing an extra-tight bloodstained tank top and dirty panties on his head.

After almost 40 days and innumerable twist and turns along the way, Tarzan's shot at the million-dollar prize ended Wednesday night just short of the elite final five. Since he was the last man standing, Tarzan's exit marks the end of the season's battle of the sexes — a battle the women won decisively, despite a very rocky start. Now, only five players remain going into Sunday night's season finale: loudmouth Alicia, timid Christina, measured Sabrina, cowgirl Chelsea and Kim, long considered the front-runner to win the game.

Ahead of the season's grand finale,...
