A video of the Highwaymen appearing on a talk show in 1991 has been making the rounds on social media since the 2024 presidential election, not because of any song they sang, but because of what they said. At least three members of the country supergroup called out the good ol’ U.S.A., courageously pointing out, in the words of Willie Nelson, that “There’s a lot of things wrong with this country.”

That Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson — the fourth Highwayman, Waylon Jennings, didn’t weigh in — dared to...

Ubisoft’s XDefiant, the free-to-play shooter title, has finally launched after years of waiting, and it has had a strong start. The game takes inspiration from various online shooters and brings the best features to provide an amazing first-person shooter experience to players.

The game also features unique factions that have different playable characters from various Ubisoft franchises. A lot of new factions will be coming to the game in the future, and they include factions from one franchise from the publisher, which was very unlikely to be seen in the game.

XDefiant’s One Upcoming Faction is from the Most Surprising Franchise

XDefiant may get a faction from the Crew franchise.

There are currently five factions in XDefiant, and four of them are available to players from the start. These factions are from several popular franchises, including Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs 2, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ghost Recon Phantoms,...

Chief Detective 1958 is a Korean detective series created by Park Jae-beom. The Mbc TV K-drama serves as a prequel series to the 1971 Korean series Chief Inspector with the new series being set in the 1950s to 1960s, 10 years before the original series events take place. Chief Detective 1958 follows the story of Detective Park Yeong-han, an ace when it comes to catching petty criminals but he begins to feel frustrated with the corrupt system of the police and decides to do something about it.

Chief Detective 1958 has hit the ground running with a charming cast and an intense story that easily hooks the new audience while paying homage to the original series. The first few episodes of the K-drama set up a story that could take us to some wild places and tell us the journey of Park Yeong-han becoming the man he was in the original series.

The true story of The Highwaymen stays relatively historically accurate, with some creative liberties taken. The film focuses on the real-life lawmen Frank Hamer and Maney Gault, rather than Bonnie and Clyde. The film's depiction of the prison break and the final shootout between the lawmen and the outlaws is accurate to the real events.

The true story of The Highwaymen — Netflix's 2019 crime thriller focusing on a pair of Texas rangers tasked with hunting down Bonnie and Clyde — is relatively historically accurate, though it does take some creative liberties. The Highwaymen is the true story of Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner) and Maney Gault (Woody Harrelson), the two Texas Rangers who hunted down and killed the notorious outlaws in the 1930s. Bonnie and Clyde only appeared briefly in The Highwaymen, with the Netflix movie instead focusing almost entirely on real-life lawmen played by Costner and Harrelson.

Both Frank Hamer and Maney Gaut were real people,...

The Anaconda episode of The Black Sheep was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Ryan Cultrera, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

I’ll be the first to admit my mistakes. When I made that Alligator 2 defense, and no, doing that video is not the mistake I’m referring to, I mentioned that the giant monster movie had become somewhat of a lost art, particularly in the ’90s. Then I ended up rewatching Anaconda (watch it Here) and realized I had totally forgotten about it. That’s because it got lost in the likes of Deep Blue Sea and Lake Placid. Both those movies seem to have longer lasting impacts. Deep Blue Sea has that great surprise kill and Lake Placid has, well, it has Betty White. There are others, too. The Relic is a gory fun time, Bats isn...

A most unusual year in theater will be recognized by a most unusual Drama League Awards: This year, the traditionally New York-centric honors will be expanded to include theatrical artists across the country, with digital productions taking the spotlight at the May 21 ceremony.

This year’s nominees, announced today, include such digital productions as Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical, The Great Work Begins: Scenes from Angels In America, and Take Me To The World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration.

See the complete list of nominees below.

The 87th Annual Drama League Awards will be streamed on Friday, May 21 at 7 pm Et.

“In this most difficult time, when stages across America were forced to darken, theater artists responded with light – producing bold new work in ways most of us never dreamed of,” said Drama League Artistic Director Gabriel Stelian-Shanks.

This year, for the first time since the prestigious theater awards were established...

The 1970s were, arguably, the golden age of classic TV Christmas specials. Before variety shows and specials all but disappeared from the lineups of the three major networks (and before cable TV took over and shrank network viewership), each holiday season brought forth highly rated variety specials to please nearly everyone from 1 to 92. The four Johnny Cash Christmas specials, which ran every year on CBS from 1976-1979, were certainly no exception.

Cash, who had already established a reputation for bringing together an eclectic lineup of talent each week on his ABC series,...

Kris Kristofferson was playing a show in Iowa on Wednesday night, but one of his most famous compositions was blaring throughout Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena at the 53rd annual Cma Awards. Sheryl Crow and Dierks Bentley teamed up to perform Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee” with an assist from Chris Janson on harmonica and Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne and the Eagles’ Joe Walsh on guitar.

The performance was the centerpiece of a tribute to the 83-year-old songwriter and Country Music Hall of Fame member, who received the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Highwomen come steeped in history — a history they rewrite, literally and figuratively. Their name, and the title track of their terrific self-titled debut, alludes to “The Highwayman,” Jimmy Webb’s 1977 song-turned-hit signature of the Highwaymen, the Eighties supergroup of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. Rewritten with Webb for a new singer-songwriting collective — Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby — “The Highwomen” swaps the original’s mythic male narratives for female ones: an immigrant mom who dies fleeing Honduras through Mexico, a “witch” hanged in Salem,...

Fit, suntanned, and with faint wrinkles in all the right places, at 64, Kevin Costner still looks every bit the movie star that he was through the ’80s and ’90s. It’s hard to believe that the iconic baseball film Field of Dreams turns 30 years old this year and his Best Picture winning directorial debut Dances with Wolves will hit that milestone next year.

The maverick filmmaker is part of a group of stars this year (Julia Roberts is another) that you once never would have imagined seeing in a TV series. But Costner not only took that plunge with Yellowstone, from Hell or High Water and Sicario writer Taylor Sheridan, but also tested the streaming waters with the Netflix film The Highwaymen.

Back when you were a top Warner Bros. star, could you have seen yourself starring in television? It almost seemed like an insult in those days.

That’s actually not true at all.

Based on the fantasy fighting video game launched in 1992, Mortal Kombat has spawned a number of spin-off games and films to become one of the most successful franchises in video game history.

New Line Cinema’s highly anticipated new version will be led by Australian Producer James Wan and award-winning commercial filmmaker Simon McQuoid, who is also making his feature directorial debut.

Pre-production on Mortal Kombat will commence later this month with production later this year. The film will be shot on Adelaide Studios’ Sound Stages, utilising local crews and acting talent, with post-production in South Australia’s internationally acclaimed visual effects and post-production facilities. Wan said South Australia would be perfectly suited for the fantasy-action project:

I’m really happy and excited to be bringing another show back to Australia with Mortal Kombat, especially after having such a great experience filming Aquaman. Now we get to experience South Australia...

A new film in the hit “Mortal Kombat” franchise is to begin pre-production this month in Australia. “Aquaman” director James Wan will be producing for New Line Cinema.

Confirmation of the project came Tuesday from Steven Marshall, premier of South Australia; David Pisoni, South Australia’s minister for innovation and skills; and former Village Roadshow executive Greg Basser, who is acting as production consultant.

The current screenplay is by Greg Russo (the upcoming “Highwaymen”). The film will be directed by award-winning commercial filmmaker Simon McQuoid, who is making his feature directorial debut.

Todd Garner also produces, with Larry Kasanoff, E. Bennett Walsh, Michael Clear, and Sean Robins are executive producing.

The video-game adaptation film is expected to use the Adelaide Studios’ Sound Stages, use Australian crews, and do post-production and visual effects work in the state. Marshall said that “Mortal Kombat” will create an estimated 580 jobs and 1,500 extras employed, along...

Loretta Lynn’s birthday bash at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville was the perfect occasion for another kind of celebration: the first appearance of the Highwomen, the new supergroup comprising Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby.

Backed by Dave Cobb, who is producing the quartet’s forthcoming record, Jason Isbell and the night’s ace house band, they sang a pitch-perfect version of “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” which was a hit for Kitty Wells in 1952 before going on be recorded by Lynn,...

I try to be a responsible recapper of The Walking Dead, so I'm going to take responsibility for being totally wrong about what those symbols from a few weeks ago meant. They were the mark of the Highwaymen, a new group introduced in "Chokepoint," the 13th episode of Season 9. Their negotiation with

Spend a day with Brandi Carlile at her property outside of Seattle, and it takes approximately 60 seconds to be thrust into the middle of her extended family — which, on the day Rolling Stone visited in early January, included her bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth; Laura and Lydia Rogers from the Secret Sisters; musician Cheyenne Medders; video director Mark Slagle; a huge Rhodesian Ridgeback dog and several chickens. And, of course, Carlile’s wife Catherine and daughters Evangeline and Elijah, who all mull about the kitchen doing normal Saturday things: mixing...

The Highwaymen trailer features Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson as the two Texas Rangers who went on the hunt for Bonnie and Clyde. Netflix released the first trailer this morning ahead of its premiere at the annual SXSW Film Festival in March. The movie will then debut March 29th, exclusively on Netflix. The Highwaymen tells the unromantic story of Bonnie and Clyde and gives a completely new and fresh perspective on the legendary story.

While the outlaws made headlines, the lawmen made history. From director John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side), The Highwaymen follows the untold story of the legendary detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde. When the full force of the FBI and the latest forensic technology aren't enough to capture the nation's most notorious criminals, two former Texas Rangers (Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson) must rely on their gut instincts and old school skills to get the job done.

Take a look at "Greta", the horror drama feature directed by Neil Jordan, starring Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz ("Kick-Ass"), Maika Monroe, Colm Feore ("Highwaymen") and Stephen Rea, opening March 1, 2019:

"...'Frances MCullen' (Grace Moretz), is a sweet, naïve young woman trying to make it on her own in New York City. She does not think twice about returning the handbag she finds on the subway to its rightful owner.

'That owner is 'Greta' (Huppert), an eccentric French piano teacher with a love for classical music and an aching loneliness. Having recently lost her mother, Frances quickly grows closer to widowed Greta. The two quickly become friends—but Greta's maternal charms begin to dissolve and grow increasingly disturbing as Frances discovers that nothing in Greta's life is what it seems..."

Cast also includes Maika Monroe, Colm Feore, Stephen Rea, Zawe Ashton, Graeme Thomas King, Parker Sawyers and Jeff Hiller.

Exclusive: Netflix has found its Aj. Izzy G (aka Izzy Gaspersz) is set to star opposite RuPaul Charles in comedy series Aj and the Queen, from Charles and 2 Broke Girls co-creator and former Sex and the City showrunner Michael Patrick King.

Written by King and Charles, the series stars RuPaul as Ruby Red, a bigger-than-life but down-on-her-luck drag queen who travels across America from club to club in a rundown 1990s Rv with her unlikely sidekick Aj (Izzy G), a recently orphaned, tough-talking, scrappy 9-year-old stowaway. As these two misfits — one tall, one small — travel from city to city, Ruby’s message of love and acceptance winds up touching people and changing their lives for the better. Oh, and RuPaul performs a killer musical number in every drag club.

Izzy G’s Aj is cocky and confident on the outside, while hiding all the vibrant emotions and feelings of a confused,...

Ethan Hawke and Jimmy Fallon channeled Willie Nelson on Tuesday’s “Tonight Show,” performing “On the Road Again” in an elaborate spoof of the legendary country supergroup the Highwaymen. The skit also also featured “Blaze” costars Charlie Sexton as Kris Kristofferson and Ben Dickey as Waylon Jennings.

The skit was a typically lighthearted Fallon affair in which Hawke-as-Nelson takes on the 1979 song’s love of life on the road and all that comes with it, while Fallon-as-Cash plays contrarian, wanting to stay home and play games and drink.

The pair then try to get their companions to play tie-breaker, but they demur. “But hold on a sec/ If we stay here we can get trashed and play Fortnite,” Fallon sings.

“Wait, what is Fortnite?” Hawke offered back as Sexton and Dickey feigned confusion.

“Fortnite is an online, multi-player game where a flyin’ bus drops you off onto an island,” Fallon sang.

The work week may be over, but the great casting opportunities never stop. Join the hunt for the infamous Bonnie and Clyde in the new Netflix feature film “Highwaymen,” starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner. There are also lead roles in the latest episode of Investigation Discovery’s true crime series “Evil Lives Here,” a commercial about life’s doldrums, and a new indie feature film about a family reuniting under difficult and challenging circumstances. “Highwaymen”Background casting continues for the Netflix feature film “Highwaymen,” starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner as veteran Texas Rangers on the hunt for the notorious Depression-era outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. Talent of all ages is wanted to portray migrant workers as background. Men must be okay with being clean shaven and have a shorter haircut. Preference will be given to women with hair below the shoulders or shorter (or willing to get it cut). The film shoots Feb.

Stay in the loop on industry and casting news with our write-up on who’s been slated for recent film and television roles! “Highwaymen”Bonnie and Clyde are about to wreak havoc once again, this time in Netflix’s new project “Highwaymen.” While the thieving duo will be a large part of the film, they’ll take a backseat to the man who caught them. The story will be told from the vantage point of the police, particularly the officer who came out of retirement to end their crime spree. If the project sounds familiar, it’s because it took a while to find a studio, and streaming giant Netflix was the one to finally claim it. Liam Neeson was previously attached, but the film will now feature Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner. No other actors have been cast, and Denise Chamian Casting is on board to fill out the roster,...

After languishing in development for more than a decade, DreamWorks is finally moving forward with their thriller Motorcade, bringing on Joe Carnahan to write the script and direct. The story follows a terrorist attack on the U.S. President's motorcade as he travels through Los Angeles. We first reported on the project back in November 2004, when DreamWorks picked up the pitch from writers Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell (Highwaymen).

The project has attracted plenty of top-notch talent throughout the years, with Tom Cruise being eyed to star at one point, and filmmakers such as Jon Cassar and Len Wiseman circling the project as well. The story was previously set in New York City, but the most recent version of the script by Billy Ray is set in L.A. No further story details were given at this time.

Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald will executive produce, although no production schedule was given.

Special Mention: The Fake Trailers from Grindhouse (2007, USA): The four fake trailers featured in the otherwise disappointing Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double-feature: Machete by Robert Rodriguez, Werewolf Women of the SS by Rob Zombie, Thanksgiving by Eli Roth and Don’t by Edgar Wright-are all very entertaining trips down horror/exploitation film memory lane and are easily the best part of the film.

2) Other Notable Horror Films Of The 2000’s:

This list focuses on films that are partially successful and even touch on brilliance at times but ultimately don’t pull everything together to fully deliver on their promise.

Intacto (Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, 2001, Spain):

This film about a group of people blessed with supernatural good luck has a great premise, several great scenes-the revelation of the plane crash early in the film, the blindfolded race through the trees and the Russian roulette climax-plus the welcome presence of...

Outlander and Highwaymen 's Jim Caviezel and True Blood 's James Frain are joining Diora Baird, Harold Perrineau and Elisabeth Rohm in Transit . The film is a new original thriller from After Dark Film. Courtney Solomon is producing alongside executive producer Joel Silver. The story follow a band of thieves who are on the run from a bank robbery and the suburban family they come across during their escape. When the criminals stash their stolen money in the family's SUV at a rest stop, the road trippers unwittingly draw the murderous band of outlaws on their trail.

Four months after the release of Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie, Tom Cruise is still organizing his future. The actor has a number of potential projects lined up, which seem to be at the top of the list for many studios. According to the trades, studios have spent millions of dollars in rewrite fees to custom-tailor projects for the star. The frontrunners for his next film appear to be the DreamWorks drama Motorcade, to be directed by Len Wiseman, followed by the Spyglass remake The Tourist (with Charlize Theron), to be helmed by Bharat Nalluri, and the Fox action comedy Wichita (with Cameron Diaz), which James Mangold will direct. Also still in the mix is MGM's The Matarese Circle, which potentially matches Cruise with Denzel Washington and director David Cronenberg. Motorcade, which was written by Billy Ray (Breach), centers on a group of terrorists attacking the president's motorcade as it traverses through Los Angeles.

Len Wiseman is in talks to direct Motorcade, a DreamWorks thriller from writer Billy Ray about terrorists attacking the president's motorcade as it traverses through Los Angeles. Ray previously wrote and directed Shatter Glass and Breach as well as writing Suspect Hero, Hart’s War and the Jodie Foster thriller Flight Plan. Motorcade was originally scripted by Hans Bauer (Anaconda) and Craig Mitchell (Highwaymen). Wiseman, know for directing the two Underworld flicks and last summer’s Live Free or Die Hard, is also attached to direct New Line's Gears of War, which is based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit video game. That flick revolves around a world reeling from an invasion by aliens known as the Locust, and a small team of elite soldiers who fight to retake the planet Sera and save its human inhabitants. Motorcade will be produced by Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Their credits include...

Looks like Len Wiseman is throwing another possibility into the ring for likely projects with which to follow Die Hard 4: he’s considering helming the thriller Motorcade for DreamWorks. The Underworld creator is in negotiations to tackle the film, reports Variety, which would find terrorists attacking the Us president’s vehicle in Los Angeles. Breach writer-director Billy Ray is the man behind the script, a document that has also been through the hands of Craig Mitchell (Highwaymen) and Hans Bauer... .
