Netflix has set an Oct. 22 drop date and launched a new teaser/trailer for its hotly anticipated show “The Monster of Florence” from Italian genre specialist Stefano Sollima about a string of sex-related murders that took place outside Florence from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s.

The four-episode limited series, which was shot largely on location, reunites Sollima with writer Leonardo Fasoli and ace Italian cinematographer Paolo Carnera, both of whom Sollima worked with on “Gomorrah” and cocaine trafficking drama “ZeroZeroZero.”

Sollima, known for the gritty TV hit “Gomorrah” and movies “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Without Remorse,” spent more than a year researching the still unsolved case of “The Monster”, the moniker given to the alleged serial killer who committed eight double murders, preying on couples parked in cars in secluded places around Florence. “The Monster” always used the same weapon, a 22 caliber Beretta.

Sollima was in...

A new thriller, from the director of Taylor Sheridan's Western with a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, gets a gripping first trailer. Sheridan is best known as the co-creator behind the popular neo-Western series Yellowstone and its various prequels, including 1883 and 1923. He has since created several streaming series for Paramount+, including Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lioness, and Landman.

In addition to these television series, Sheridan has also written several films, including the screenplay for Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve, and its sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado, directed by Stefano Sollima. Sheridan scored an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for writing the neo-Western Hell or High Water, directed by David Mackenzie.

He also wrote, in addition to directing, the neo-Western Wind River, the third and final installment in Sheridan's spiritual trilogy exploring crime on the modern-day American frontier. More recently, Sheridan co-wrote the action thrillers Without Remorse (directed once...

Taylor Sheridan is hard at work in Fort Worth right now on the second season of Landman, but one of the scribe’s older projects, approaching its 10th anniversary, has returned to streaming charts. Sheridan wrote and directed Wind River, the 2017 Western starring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen, following a wildlife officer who helps an FBI Agent investigate a murder on a reservation. Wind River is currently streaming for free on Fawesome, and it’s one of the most popular movies on the platform in several countries, such as Thailand and Panama. The film earned strong scores of 87% from critics and 90% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it also grossed $44 million at the box office against a modest $11 million budget.

While Taylor Sheridan has become best known for his work on shows like Yellowstone, he got his start writing Westerns, such as Wind River and Hell or High Water, as...

Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec have collaborated to write films like Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014), and jointly executive produced the Prime Video film Without Remorse. The duo have reunited to co-write alongside Harrison Query Heads of State. The action film boasts a star-studded cast including John Cena, Idris Elba, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Jack Quaid.

Heads of State follows the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Elba) and US President Will Derringer (John Cena), who have an unfriendly and very public rivalry that is jeopardizing their countries’ relationship.

Something about the names "John" and "Jack" apparently screams unstoppable action hero. John Wick, Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher ... these are some of the biggest action heroes of the last few years. Extend that timeframe a little and you've got John McClane and Jack Bauer. Go even further and you've got John James Rambo, and that's to say nothing of Jason Bourne and James Bond, who feel very much "John" and "Jack"-adjacent.

Paramount and Skydance tried to throw yet another John into the mix with "Without Remorse," a 2021 action thriller that starred Michael B. Jordan as U.S. Navy Seal John Clark — or John Kelly, as he's known in the film. Born in the pages of military fiction novels by Tom Clancy, Clark shared his origin with Jack Ryan, a character who has been portrayed on screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, and John Krasinski across five films and a streaming series.

This year, viewers can enter the world of Tom Clancy in a way they never have before. The first-ever animated series based on the late military thriller writer's work, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, is coming to Netflix. While updating the rest of their animation slate, the streamer has announced that the series will premiere this fall. The series is based on Ubisoft's Splinter Cell video game franchise, which began in 2002 and centers around Fourth Echelon, a fictitious black-ops division of the National Security Agency. Led by Sam Fisher, Fourth Echelon is an elite strike team that emphasizes stealth above all else.

The original Splinter Cell game is considered one of the greatest video games of all time, and has been followed by a number of sequels and tie-in novels. A film adaptation was in the works for many years: Tom Hardy was cast as Fisher, while Doug Liman was attached to direct,...

Taylor Sheridan is always looking for new ways to expand his television empire on Paramount+, but the last movie directed by the Yellowstone creator has returned to streaming charts just a few years later. Sheridan directed Those Who Wish Me Dead in 2021, the psychological thriller following a Montana survival expert who is tasked with protecting a child on the run. Those Who Wish Me Dead is streaming on HBO Max globally, and it is one of the top 10 most popular movies in countries such as the Netherlands and Ukraine. Taylor Sheridan's film hit theaters during the Covid-19 pandemic and still grossed $19 million at the box office, but budget information for the film is not available. Those Who Wish Me Dead earned 63% from critics and 86% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

A new Prime Video action movie has quickly climbed the streaming charts, just days after premiering. Incorporating original and Amazon MGM Studios content, among other movies and TV shows, Prime Video houses many popular releases, including Red, White, & Royal Blue and Totally Killer. The streaming service has also adapted various Tom Clancy novels and characters in Without Remorse and Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. Another successful Prime series is Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson, which has been praised by audiences for its stunt work and fight sequences.

Prime Video continues releasing action-heavy movies, most of which perform well statistically and feature recognizable actors. The Tomorrow War, following Dan Forester (portrayed by Chris Pratt) as he fights a futuristic battle, set viewership records in 2021 and led to sequel development. Since then, Prime has launched a highly successful Road House remake, as well as Canary Black and the Viola Davis action thriller G20.

Michael B. Jordan took on a role in the Tom Clancy movieWithout Remorse that has mostly gone overlooked, but according to a former Navy Seal, it includes some very realistic fighting scenes. Clancy is best known for writing the Jack Ryan books that ended up being made into movies, starting with The Hunt for Red October. The Jordan movie, Without Remorse, exists in that world.

Without Remorse follows the Jack Ryan supporting character John Kelly (also known as John Clark). In previous movies, Willem Dafoe (Clear and Present Danger) and Liev Schreiber (The Sum of All Fears) portrayed the character, a black ops soldier who will get his hands dirty, so Jack Ryan doesn't have to. However, the Without Remorse novel is mostly an origin story for the character, as he seeks revenge for his wife's murder.

Four years ago, Taylor Sheridan’s name was attached to a high-profile Michael B. Jordan movie that promised intensity and depth, but the final product didn’t live up to the hype. What could’ve been a breakout hit ended up feeling like wasted potential, stripped of Sheridan’s signature storytelling edge.

Now, years later, Sheridan’s circling back with a renewed focus and creative control, proving that unfinished business still burns strong. With a second shot at making stuff right, he ain’t just reviving a story, but reclaiming the vision that got buried under studio pressure the first time around.

Taylor Sheridan is hard at work in Texas right now on Landman Season 2, but just a few years ago, the Yellowstone creator penned a divisive action thriller that’s climbing streaming charts. Sheridan co-wrote Without Remorse with Will Staples, and it follows an elite Navy Seal who goes on a brutal path of vengeance after his wife’s murder. Without Remorse, which stars Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), is streaming on Prime Video in the U.S. and globally, and it’s one of the top 10 movies in several countries, such as Israel and Australia. The Tom Clancy film that reportedly cost between $65 and $100 million went straight to streaming, so it did not make anything at the box office, but it earned a “rotten” 45% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and an even lower 42% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.

Santa’s back. And he’s not happy. Universal Pictures has announced that Violent Night 2 will be released in theaters on Wednesday, December 4, 2026.

From 87North, the powerhouse producers of Bullet Train, John Wick, The Fall Guy, Atomic Blonde, Nobody, and this summer’s Nobody 2, comes a new chapter in yuletide mayhem.

In 2022’s bare-knuckle holiday sensation, Violent Night, an embittered Santa (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee David Harbour), armed with lethal combat skills, took out a team of ruthless mercenaries to rescue a girl and her family. Now, it’s time for not-so-jolly Saint Nick to suit up again.

Mayor of Kingstown star Jeremy Renner just dropped a colossal update on the future of his hit Taylor Sheridan show. First airing in 2021, Mayor of Kingstown was one of the first series from Sheridan to follow Yellowstone, his hit neo-Western led by Kevin Costner. The show even recruited Marvel and Mission: Impossible veteran Jeremy Renner to star in the lead role as Mike McClusky. Although the first season wasn’t particularly well-received by critics, it earned strong enough viewership to warrant a second season, and then continued this trend after recently being renewed for Season 4. The fourth season of Mayor of Kingstown began filming earlier this year, and Renner has just taken to his personal Instagram to announce that it’s officially wrapped filming in a post with a new image that can be found below.

It’s also been confirmed that the fourth season of Mayor of Kingstown will premiere on Paramount+ this October,...

Once Yellowstone arrived in 2018, it didn’t take the series long to catch fire and become a global sensation. It ran for five seasons before concluding in a controversial finale that aired on December 15 last year, and the show has been a hit on streaming in the months since. Taylor Sheridan’s Western series has been in the Peacock top 10 for 67 days now, roaming around the top spot on TV charts. However, after sliding to #9 on the streamer’s charts, it looks like the show might finally make its grand exit from Peacock’s top 10, possibly for good. Even if Yellowstone does depart the Peacock top 10 in the coming days, its run in the top 10 since going off the air will always be remembered.

Before Taylor Sheridan kicked off the first season of Yellowstone with Kevin Costner, he’d never written an episode of TV before and had only worked on movies.

All of Hollywood and Mission: Impossible’s fanbase was shook when Tom Cruise confirmed The Final Reckoning will be his last ride as Ethan Hunt. For almost 3 decades, Cruise has blessed screens with espionage thrills and death-defying stunts. But as the spotlight is slowly starting to dim on his tenure, conversations have inevitably swerved towards who the baton could be passed to.

This is where Michael B. Jordan comes in. The Creed star has already proven his ability to breathe life into iconic franchises. From carrying the Rocky legacy to helming Creed III as both the lead and director, Jordan wouldn’t just be a safe bet, but the Mission: Impossible franchise’s best option; the thought of Jordan leading the next phase of the franchise feels like the perfect transition.

Michael B. Jordan could be Tom Cruise’s successor in the Mission: Impossible franchise Michael B. Jordan in Creed III...

Hot off the success of Sinners, star Michael B. Jordan is quickly establishing himself as a bankable leading man. Jordan has been around for a while, but he truly broke out a little over a decade ago, after starring in the subversive superhero film Chronicle, and headlining director Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station. He has appeared in every Coogler film since then, including Sinners, in which he plays a dual role. Thanks to the success that they've experienced together, Jordan has established himself among the highest-grossing lead actors in domestic box office history. He recently overtook a bunch of prominent names as he made his way towards the top 100.

Jordan's films have grossed a combined total of nearly $1.5 billion at the domestic box office, with Sinners contributing almost $220 million of that total. Jordan's biggest film remains Black Panther, which made $700 million domestically in 2018. He played the primary antagonist, Killmonger, in that Marvel blockbuster.

A Taylor Sheridanaction movie called F.A.S.T. is finally moving forward after years of delays, and a 1923 star is already attached. Sheridan is best known as the creator of the Yellowstone universe of shows at Paramount. The main series and its spinoffs, which include 1883 and 1923, have all been major hits for the network, and Sheridan has used the cachet from that property to make other shows like Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, and Lioness, which have all also been successful in terms of viewership.

THR reports that Sheridan is returning to movies, with F.A.S.T. having now landed at Warner Bros. The film is on the fast track, with a theatrical release date already set for April 23, 2027. Brandon Sklenar, who stars as Spencer Dutton on 1923 has been tapped to play the lead, with frequent 1923 director Ben Richardson set to direct in his feature film debut. The synopsis for the movie is as...

Taylor Sheridan is returning to the big screen. Warner Bros. has landed the Yellowstone creator's action thriller F.A.S.T., which has 1923 fan favorite Brandon Sklenar attached to star.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, F.A.S.T. is about "a former special forces commando, down on his luck after he returns Stateside, who is tapped by the DEA to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers in his town." Ben Richardson, who helmed all but two episodes of the Yellowstone prequel 1923, is on board to direct the action thriller in what will be his feature directorial debut. Warner Bros. has set an April 2027 theatrical release date for the movie.

"The breadth of Taylor Sheridan’s body of work is simply astounding and unparalleled in sheer excellence and consistent quality and we could not be more honored to be making this film with him," said Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s...

“Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan is returning to the big screen with “F.A.S.T.,” an original crime thriller set at Warner Bros. Pictures.

Brandon Sklenar, known for “Yellowstone” spinoff “1923” and “It Ends With Us,” will star in the film, which will be released in theaters on April 23, 2027.

Ben Richardson, a series director on “1923” and renowned cinematographer, will direct “F.A.S.T.” in his feature directorial debut. Sheridan is penning the script, about a former special forces commando who is tapped by drug enforcement officials to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers. Additional cast members have not been announced.

“The breadth of Taylor Sheridan’s body of work is simply astounding and unparalleled in sheer excellence and consistent quality and we could not be more honored to be making this film with him,” Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a statement.

Before the Yellowstone universe made him a household name, Taylor Sheridan was already making huge waves in Hollywood. However, not every project of his landed as intended, and one of his lesser-known projects of 2021 was Without Remorse, which starred Michael B. Jordan in the lead.

The movie had everything you’d expect from a hit, but despite all of that, it didn’t land nicely with the audiences and became one of Sheridan’s lowest-rated movies. Still, many believe that if things had gone differently, this could’ve been the movie to turn Jordan into Hollywood’s next big action star – maybe even better than Jason Statham.

Why Taylor Sheridan’s Without Remorse was a missed opportunity for Michael B. Jordan?

Taylor Sheridan can easily be one of the most sought-after filmmakers today with a plethora of projects to his name. In this, however, the Yellowstone franchise has given him the most popularity,...

While the standout performances of Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld are rightfully garnering significant praise in Ryan Coogler's gripping new film, Sinners, a fresh face is also turning heads and sparking considerable buzz- newcomer Miles Canton.

Canton, previously known for his vocal talents as a background singer for the acclaimed artist H.E.R., makes his impressive cinematic debut as Sammie in Sinners.

Sammie is a young sharecropper and the younger cousin to Michael B. Jordan's formidable outlaw twins, Smoke and Stack. Despite sharing the screen with established stars, Canton's portrayal has resonated with both critics and audiences, marking him as a talent to watch.

In a recent interview with Variety, Canton revealed his long-held interest in the world of acting, though he admitted the opportunity to debut in a Ryan Coogler film was beyond his wildest expectations.

Michael B. Jordan has a new movie coming to theaters next weekend, but before Sinners drops worldwide, one of his more recent flicks is making a shocking run on streaming. Jordan stars alongside Jodie Turner-Smith and Guy Pearce in Without Remorse, the 2021 conspiracy thriller based on the famous Tom Clancy novel of the same name. Without Remorse is a Prime Video original film that premiered on the platform four years ago, but it recently began streaming on Hulu and has become the fifth most popular movie on the platform. Without Remorse earned “rotten” scores of 45% from critics and 41% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film follows an elite Navy Seal who goes down a dark path to avenge his wife’s murder, only to find himself entangled in something much bigger than he imagined.

THR reports that Citadel season 2 has been delayed. Not only that, but the various spinoff series are being put on hold. This is just the latest in a long line of issues for Amazon MGM’s hugely expensive spy series. Extensive reshoots of the first season made it one of the most expensive TV shows of all time, with the six episodes reportedly costing $300 million. Yikes.

Production on Citadel season 2 wrapped up last November. The new season was originally planned to debut in fall 2025, but that’s been pushed back to spring 2026. Sources tell THR that Amazon MGM is “unhappy with what they have seen so far of season two.” It seems clear that the second season is having issues similar to the first, which went through some major creative turmoil.

The first bone-chilling teaser-trailer for Netflix’s “The Monster of Florence” from Italian genre specialist Stefano Sollima has been unveiled. In an exclusive with Variety, the streamer has released the first footage from the hotly-anticipated serial killer series, about a string of sex-related murders that took place outside Florence from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s.

Sollima, known for the gritty TV hit “Gomorrah” and movies “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Without Remorse,” spent more than a year researching the still unsolved case of “The Monster”, the moniker given to the alleged serial killer who committed eight double murders, preying on couples parked in cars in secluded places around Florence. “The Monster” always used the same weapon, a 22 caliber Beretta.

The cold case marks one of the longest investigations into the most brutal serial killings in Italian history.

Netflix showed off its sprawling footprint across Europe during its Next on Netflix event, held simultaneously in multiple locations on Jan. 29. Hotly anticipated titles were teased, such as the Omar Sy movie “French Lover,” Italy’s reimagining of the classic novel “The Leopard,” Norwegian action-adventure movie “Troll 2” and Lena Dunham’s upcoming series “Too Much.”

Netflix’s international original content strategy for 2025 looks to bank on flagship IP, big local stars and romance and crime titles, underscoring its foothold in local industries and an ambition to appeal to all demos as well as dive deeper into crowd-pleasing movies.

“French Lover,” which unveiled a first look (above) at the Paris presentation, is a sexy romantic comedy starring Omar Sy, the charismatic French actor of heist show “Lupin,” alongside Sara Giraudeau (“Bernadette”). In the high-concept movie, Sy stars as Abel Camara, the biggest star of the moment, who crosses paths with...

Taylor Sheridan is a miniature industry unto himself. He wrote the Oscar hopefuls "Sicario," "Hell or High Water," and "Wind River," as well as the thrillers "Without Remorse" and "Those Who Wish Me Dead." On TV, Sheridan has been blasting barn doors off with "Yellowstone" and its multiple spinoffs, as well as shows like "Tulsa King," "Lioness," and "Landman." These are in addition to a modest acting career that put Sheridan on TV shows like "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman," "Party of Five," "NYPD Blue," "Sons of Anarchy," and even "Star Trek: Enterprise." He also plays the supporting character of Travis Wheatley on "Yellowstone" and Charles on the prequel series "1883."

Sheridan has evolved into the modern torch-bearer for Western machismo, and he is often drawn into the dark hearts of manly men. He also seems to love crime stories, tales of criminals/lawmen, and conflicts that end with gunplay.

Although he is best known for creating the Jack Ryan character and series, Tom Clancy wrote several other espionage and military action novels centered around other characters in the “Ryanverse.” Among the most popular heroes that he came up with is John Kelly, a former Navy Seal that became a C.I.A. agent and went on several dangerous missions around the globe, eventually taking on the identity “Clark.” While Willem Dafoe first portrayed Clark in the Jack Ryan film The Hunt For Red October, Michael B. Jordan was cast as a new version of the character in the origin story Without Remorse, which Taylor Sheridan adapted from Clancy’s novel of the same name. While it is certainly one of the most ruthless revenge thrillers in years, Without Remorse makes more than a few key changes from the source material.

Over the past decade, director, writer, and producer Taylor Sheridan has emerged as one of the entertainment industry's greatest talents, proving himself to be a master storyteller with the many critically-acclaimed TV shows and films he has helped craft. The Yellowstone creator is one of the small screen's most recognizable and gifted visionaries, introducing audiences all around the world to sensational hits like Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and the aforementioned Kevin Costner-led knockout.

While fans may be aware of his dazzling contributions to television, they may be surprised to learn that Sheridan also has directed and penned multiple universally-lauded pictures like Sicario, Without Remorse, and the Academy Award-nominated Western crime drama Hell or High Water, arguably the most well-received and impressive films in his ever-growing resume. Let's check out why the 2016 triumph proves that Sheridan should make a return to movies.

At this point, Paramount must be running out of space for any more titles from television show-making machine Taylor Sheridan. While "Yellowstone" might have drawn to a close, he still has the spin-offs lined up along with the likes of standalone titles, "Landman," "Lioness," "Tulsa King," and "Mayor of Kingstown" nicely ticking along as well. Of course, television isn't the only space Sheridan has occupied. Some of his best stories have been on the big screen instead of the small.

Before we even knew who John Dutton was and what it meant to be "taken to the train station," Taylor Sheridan was making a name for himself writing movies before really having a go at directing them. As with his television output, there have been some weak misses and some massive hits among the movies, and some you might be surprised he even played a part in helping create. Here's...

Tom Clancy was one of the literary world's most talented and successful authors, with the acclaimed late writer having sold more than 100 million copies of his novels throughout his stellar career. Many of his books have been given the Hollywood treatment, as both the TV and film world have created wildly entertaining adaptations of his characters like Jack Ryan and John Kelly. From silver screen hits including The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger to streaming knockouts like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Tinseltown can't get enough of tackling Clancy's beloved heroes.

Season 2 of Paramount+'s Special Ops: Lioness concluded on December 8, 2024, reminding TV viewers how bonkers Taylor Sheridan's writing can become. The sprawling international spy thriller is loaded with one unpredictable twist and unforeseen turn after another, proving Sheridan to be the most skilled and in-demand TV scribe working today.

At last glance, CIA operative Joe McNamara (Zoe Saldaña) is forced to deal with Operation Sky Hawk, a spy mission finding Kaitlyn Meade (Nicole Kidman) and Byron Westfield (Michael Kelly) recruiting Pablo Carrillo (Demian Castro). The Season 2 finale sets up a clear-cut path to continue the espionage drama for Season 3, which would continue to make Sheridan the busiest TV scribe working in show business.

Ryan Coogler's upcoming horror film, which sees him reunite with longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan, has just received a new release date.

Per Deadline, Sinners has moved from its original March 7 release date back to April 18, switching with Bong Joon-ho's sci-fi film, Mickey 17. Sinners' move to Easter weekend is reportedly due to it being shot on film and "the scarcity of labs to do the work" during post-production. The release date swap between the two films is ultimately a win-win, as Mickey 17 will now have more access to IMAX screens during its opening weekend, while Sinners can receive more time in post-production.

Michael B. Jordan's Rainbow Six movie has received an update from director Chad Stahelski after two years of development. The film, based on Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six novel, is set to star Jordan in the lead role as John Clark, reprising his role from Without Remorse. The story follows "Rainbow", a secret international counter-terrorist organization headed by Clark (Aka Rainbow Six), and the apocalyptic conspiracy they discover after handling multiple terrorist attacks.

During an interview with The Direct for John Wick's 10th anniversary, Stahelski explained that the development process for Rainbow Six has involved careful consideration and emphasized the need to get the film right, while simultaneously offering creative room to expand the narrative beyond the source material. He noted that there have been many positive ideas discussed, and significant work has been done. Check out Stahelski's comments below:

Michael B. Jordan is one of my favorite...

It has been a year since anything was mentioned about Michael B. Jordan’s adaptation of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, but the movie has finally been given a surprisingly positive update by director Chad Stahelski. The John Wick franchise veteran was originally announced to be directing a version of Clancy’s novel-turned-video game series, with Jordan reprising his role as John Kelly from the 2021 movie, Without Remorse. However, since then, there has been little movement on the movie, but Stahelski has now broken the silence.

Speaking with The Direct, Stahelski explained why the film is taking a while to get going, and it seems to be the same age-old story of taking the time needed to get things right. Stahelski said:

"Michael B. Jordan is one of my favorite cast members that I've had to develop or work with. He's a fantastic guy, tons of energy. I think he's got so much potential,...

The upcoming adaptation of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (which many know from the video game series) finally got an update from its director as fans worry about the project's potential cancellation.

In January 2023, Chad Stahelski was announced to direct Rainbow Six with Michael B. Jordan starring, via The Hollywood Reporter. A month later, THR revealed that Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith, co-creators of 2013's Run, would write the piece.

The film will be a sequel to 2021's Prime Video exclusive Without Remorse, which adapted another Tom Clancy book and which followed Michael B. Jordan's U.S. Navy Seal, John Kelly—the same person who goes on to create the Rainbox Six organization.

Quick Links Yellowstone Is Coming To an End Territory Is the Perfect Show To Replace Yellowstone What Sets Territory Apart From Yellowstone Why You Should Watch Territory

Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone has become a standout TV show. It has spawned a universe of its own, consisting of different stories set in the Dutton family's history. 1883 and 1923 both explored the origins of the family, while The Madison, 1944, and 6666 are all poised to explore other parts of the universe. The story of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch is expansive, so it is no surprise that it has managed to see multiple spin-offs and prequels. As Paramount+'s leading franchise, it remains a constant presence on the platform.

Of course, Sheridan has also been working on other shows at the same time. Since Yellowstone's release, he has created a variety of other shows, including The Last Cowboy, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lioness,...

Henry Cavill has joined the expansive list of stars for the live-action version of Voltron adapted by Amazon's MGM Studios, but a crucial detail around the production is yet to be confirmed. The movie will offer a refreshing take on the long-standing Japanese animated series under the same title, and will be directed by Rawson Marshall. Marshall's previous work for Warner Bros. Pictures' We're the Millers and Netflix's Red Notice suggest that the upcoming project is gearing up to be a rather exciting movie, although details including the addition of three new stars to Voltron's cast are still being kept under wraps.

The announcement from Deadline regarding the Hollywood star offered no further insight into the character's role or the upcoming feature's story, though it's been speculated Voltron may be an ideal replacement for Pacific Rim's short-lived franchise. Marshall's project has been in the works for a couple of years,...

Actor Michael B. Jordan has a string of movies set to hit theaters starting in 2025, adding to his already popular, celebrated filmography. Jordan got his start in television, with his breakthrough role coming in The Wire. Though hes mainly known for blockbuster films now, including his starring role in the Creed films and playing Killmonger in the Black Panther movies. However, Michael B. Jordans first major film role was in the much smaller 2013 drama Fruitvale Station.

Jordan is even planning to branch out from just acting, with his directorial debut on the horizon. Unfortunately, Michael B. Jordans Matrix reboot never came to fruition, but, hopefully, all his planned movies will make it to the big screen. Michael B. Jordan is one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors,...

Oscar winner, Will Smith, is exiting his co-starring role in the upcoming action movie Sugar Bandits. Deadline reports scheduling conflicts as the reason for Smiths departure from the film, although he will remain part of the project as producer, with his production company Westbrook still attached. Smith was set to play a former special forces soldier who runs an elite vigilante squad working to wipe out the drug trade in Boston. The role will now be recast.

Sugar Bandits is based on the 2010 novel, Devils in Exile, written by New York Times best-selling author Chuck Hogan. The story follows Neal Maven, an embittered soldier returning from Iraq, who finds a new outlook when he meets Brad Royce, a fellow vet who has everything Neal wishes he had; a larger-than-life personality, charm, money, status, and his dream girl.

Exclusive: Madelaine Petsch (The Strangers: Chapter 1) and Jacob Scipio (Bad Boys: Ride or Die) have been tapped to star in Maintenance Required, a new romantic comedy for Future Artists Entertainment, Luber Roklin Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios, on which Petsch will also serve as an executive producer.

Currently in production, the film follows Charlie (Petsch), who is forced to reconsider the viability of her beloved all-female mechanic shop. Seeking connection on an online car forum, little does she know her confidant, Beau (Scipio), is in fact her real-life business rival.

Luber Roklin and Future Artists developed the script for Amazon, placing first-time feature director Lacey Uhlemeyer at the helm. Author Erin Falconer (How to Break Up with Your Friends) wrote the script with Uhlemeyer, Roo Berry, and Luke Roberts. Future Artists Entertainment’s Matt Williams will produce alongside Lena Roklin and Matt Luber of Luber Roklin Entertainment, with Petsch as EP.

Whispers around the Hollywood water cooler say Will Smith is exiting his co-starring role for the forthcoming big-budget action film Sugar Bandits. According to Deadline, Smith’s production studio, Westbrook, remains a part of the project, which was supposed to begin filming soon but petered out because Smith became uncertain about his on-screen commitment.

People close to the situation say Will Smith is forfeiting his co-starring role due to scheduling conflicts. However, which endeavor stands in the way of his participation in Sugar Bandits remains to be seen. The plan is to recast Smith’s part and keep the film on track to shoot in 2025. Sugar Bandits is reportedly an $80 million production, with the project selling at EFM and Cannes to distributors and Amazon Prime. However, Smith’s name was attached to the deal and was the primary reason buyers forked over the cash. With Smith out of the picture,...
