"Three Day Millionaire" is a streaming-exclusive British heist film set in the port town of Grimsby, which was hit hard by the collapse of its fishing industry. The heist in the film is fictional, but the backdrop of the story is based on the real-life economic struggles faced by Grimsby after its fishing trawlers ceased operation in 2017. The film's title, "Three Day Millionaire," is a phrase used by Grimsby's fishermen to describe their spending habits after weeks at sea. The film's happy ending, where the town's economy is revitalized, is partially based on the real investments made in a fish processing plant and wind turbine production in Grimsby.

The streaming-exclusive British heist film Three Day Millionaire has a surprising connection to real life and its setting of the port town of Grimsby in England. Released in 2022, the Jack Spring-directed black comedy follows a gang of out-of-work fishers who concoct...

There’s plenty to look forward to in Hulu’s incoming slate, including the latest “American Horror Story” installment, BAFTA winner “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and new “The Kardashians.” But unfortunately, the streamer has to lose to gain, and new content means a library cleanout.

Throughout the month, Hulu will lose nearly 100 movies and series to make room, including multiple entries in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” franchises, Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and many others.

30-Day Free Trial $7.99+ / month hulu.com What are the 5 Best Shows and Movies Leaving Hulu in September 2023? “The Full Monty” | Friday, Sept. 15

Hat’s off and farewell to the hit British comedy and Oscar Best Picture nominee as it departs the streamer this month. 1997’s “The Full Monty” follows the unemployed Gaz,...

There have been funny male stripper movies (The Full Monty), auteur-directed male stripper movies (Magic Mike), Black male stripper movies (three Chocolate City films). Now comes Back on the Strip, yet another attempt to wrest humor and drama from the spectacle of scantily clad men gyrating to audiences of wildly appreciative women. The independent film receiving a wide release definitely leans toward the funnier end of the spectrum, with its overqualified cast including many formidable comedic talents. But despite some amusing moments, it never really takes off, burdened by a tiresome romantic subplot that periodically stops the movie dead in its tracks.

The story revolves around Merlin (Spence Moore II), whose name stems from his lifelong desire to pursue a career as a magician. His supportive single mother Verna (Tiffany Haddish), who narrates the proceedings, encourages him in his dreams and roots for him when he makes an appearance at a local talent contest.

The 1990s were a terrific decade for comedies on both a studio and independent level. While indie comedies like Flirting With Disaster and Living in Oblivion would go on to become cult favorites among certain cinephiles, studios were getting more audacious thanks to the comedic prowess of major stars like Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz, Will Smith, and Johnny Depp. Even films that were initially disregarded as garbage by film critics, such as Big Daddy and Dirty Work, ended up finding an audience, and several comedies such as Election and The Full Monty became major award season contenders. However, there was one comedy that was so universal that it became instantly relatable to everyone that saw it. Mike Judge’s 1999 comedy masterpiece Office Space was the perfect representation of workplace culture at the time, and its themes of dead end employment and corporate mismanagement still ring true to this day.

“Barbie” is a box office smash, along with its acclaim from critics and audiences alike. If you follow the social media chatter and the general feeling from most pundits, it could be a viable awards contender for Warner Bros. One category being debated is where the screenplay by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach would be able to compete — whether in original or adapted screenplay. The answer lies in how the WGA classifies it and whether the Academy could or would overrule that choice.

Variety confirms there are ongoing conversations with strategists and Warner Bros regarding where “Barbie” would compete at next year’s ceremony.

On the title cards, it reads “Based on ‘Barbie’ by Mattel,” which is, of course, a toy company. At the same time, there have been multiple CGI films and TV series featuring the fashion doll since its debut in the late 1980s (42 to be precise). This...

If you’re anything like me, you probably haven’t given too much thought to what happened to the Lambert family after the end of 2013’s Insidious: Chapter 2. After all, their story seemed to have come to a definitive close, and even the filmmakers didn’t seem to particularly care since they continued the franchise with two prequels. But since horror films are money in the bank even in the post-pandemic theatergoing era, now comes Insidious: The Red Door, which revisits the original characters ten years later. You won’t be surprised to hear that they’re not doing very well.

Well, Renai (Rose Byrne) seems okay, since she had the good sense to divorce Josh (Patrick Wilson, who makes his directorial debut with this purportedly final installment) after he tried to kill her and the children. (He was possessed by a demon spirit after entering the spirit world known as “The Further,...

Warning: The following contains Spoilers for The Full Monty reboot.

The reboot series brings back fan-favorite icons in The Full Monty reboot cast and also introduces some intriguing new characters. When it was released in 1997, The Full Monty became a surprise hit. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, grossed more than $247 million (via Box Office Mojo), and was acclaimed by critics, earning a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%. The Full Monty was noted for using its raunchy, humorous high-concept premise of a group of men putting on a striptease act to address serious social issues like unemployment, divorce, sexual identity, and mental health.

It was ranked in the 25th spot on the BFI’s list of the top 100 British films of all time (via the BBC), so it made sense to revisit these beloved characters and tell a new story. The sequel series released on FX, Hulu, and Disney+ and picked up 25 years later.

Patrick Wilson may be best known as a horror icon thanks to his roles in both The Conjuring and Insidious franchises, but it’s hardly the only thing he should be known for. Wilson was once a Broadway star thanks to his roles in Oklahoma and The Full Monty and received an Emmy nomination for reprising his stage character from Angels in America in director Mike Nichols’ limited series adaptation of the same name. In the years that followed his screen debut, he’s been a superhero in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, an action star in the botched reboot of The A-Team, a real-life outlaw in the western The Alamo, and an astronaut that prevents the moon from falling in (you guessed it) Moonfall. However, the 2006 film Little Children showed that Wilson could capture a level of realistic intimacy on screen that few male actors of his generation would be comfortable with.

It’s been roughly a quarter century since the men of Sheffield, England, danced onstage going The Full Monty, and a lot has happened. In FX’s limited series, you won’t see any steelworkers stripping to “You Sexy Thing.” “No one wants to see that,” star Robert Carlyle says, laughing. Despite retaining the 1997 film’s title, the eight-episode comedic drama from original writer Simon Beaufoy shines a light on new challenges faced by the local community and its rascally inhabitants, raising awareness around education and poverty. Here’s why this chapter, full of heart, is worth a look. (Credit: Ben Blackall/FX) 1. Everyone’s back! “It was a bit like putting on a comfortable jacket,” Mark Addy says of stepping back into his role as sweet Dave alongside Carlyle’s Gaz and Lesley Sharp’s Jean.

Best known for playing cellist Kara Milovy in the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, actress Maryam d’Abo made her screen acting debut in the 1982 sci-fi horror film Xtro – and now she’s returning to the world of horror by taking a role in the gothic feature The Baby in the Basket!

Directed by Nathan Shepka (When Darkness Falls) from a screenplay by Tom Jolliffe (War of the Worlds: The Attack), The Baby in the Basket has the following synopsis: In 1940s, the nuns of a remote Scottish island convent ready for an impending storm, but when a baby is left on their doorstep, Sister Agnes becomes convinced he is the Devil and wants to kill the child.

[Editor's note: The following contains major spoilers for The Full Monty.]From co-creators Simon Beaufoy (who wrote the original 1997 film) and Alice Nutter, the new eight-party original series The Full Monty checks in with the same group of former steelworkers in Sheffield, England, 25 years later. While the years have passed, not much has changed in a world where profit often ranks above humanity and where lifelong friendships are of utmost importance in keeping you grounded when you could otherwise be forgotten.

[Editor's note: The following contains major spoilers for The Full Monty.]From co-creators Simon Beaufoy (who wrote the 1997 film) and Alice Nutter, the new eight-party original series The Full Monty checks in with the same group of former steelworkers in Sheffield, England, 25 years later. While the years have passed, not much has changed in a world where profit often ranks above humanity and where lifelong friendships are of utmost importance in keeping you grounded when you could otherwise be forgotten.

Like its namesake, The Full Monty TV series tells the bittersweet tale of a scrappy group of friends — which now includes the spouses, children, and associates of the original ensemble — struggling to keep their heads above water in the city of Sheffield. So, you’d hardly expect this FX sequel (which is actually available on Hulu) to embody so much of what’s wrong with streaming shows today, which often boils down to “too much”: too many episodes (eight in total), too many characters, too many disparate storylines.

Whether they invite them or not, there are few stories where imagining what comes next is impossible. Part of the appeal of popular, lasting films and series is that they occupy a slice of a world, with the promise that something interesting might be happening elsewhere. Amidst the avalanche of brand extensions and franchise retreads and character revivals, “The Full Monty” feels like the kind of plucky independent film hit that could provide a foundation for a “where are they now” story that doesn’t feel like a cynical cash grab or marketing play. A quarter century after the original movie found success in a number of different arenas, a new FX series aims to revisit a ragtag group in the north England city of Sheffield to see what happens a generation after a sensation.

The answer, it turns out, is unclear and (at times) unconvincing. Decades after the 1997 Simon Beaufoy...

It’s been more than 25 years since The Full Monty crew bared it all for the entertainment of Sheffield’s citizens, and now they’re back, a little older and no wiser than they were before, in FX’s newly-released limited series. Among the original crew back onscreen are Gaz (Robert Carlyle), Dave (Mark Addy), and Jean (Lesley Sharp) who are still dealing with day-to-day challenges faced in a city where struggle still abounds. Below, we’re breaking down all the need-to-know details about their stories as you prepare to dive back into the story once again helmed by film Simon Beaufoy. Gaz Gets More Involved (Credit: Ben Blackall/FX) As fans of the original film may recall, Gaz struggled to give his son Nathan the life he deserved, turning to stripping as a way to make ends meet. Now that Nathan’s grown up, Gaz is a grandpa to...

The Writers Guild of America strike is putting the spotlight on key issues that are important to ensuring a future for writers, Succession creator Jesse Armstrong and colleagues told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday in central London where they participated in a show of support for the WGA strike on a “Global Day of Solidarity” that used the moniker and hashtag Screenwriters Everywhere.

Armstrong discussed such core hot-button issues in the labor dispute as pay, writers rooms and AI.

“Writers rooms need lots of different perspectives,” he told THR. And if you can’t make a living as a writer, we won’t get young people joining the industry.”

AI affects every area of life these days. “Anyone who works right now is thinking how they could be replaced by AI,” Armstrong explains. “For writers, there’s a particular concern that work that previous writers have done, or [we have done] ourselves, could...

The entire cast of 1997’s feel-good hit “The Full Monty” is back for Hulu’s new series of the same name — even Wim Snape, who played young Nathan at age 11, returns to play the much more sensible son of Robert Carlyle’s charming but unreliable Gaz. But some things are different this time around as the crew reunites for the Hulu sequel series (which drops June 14), with Oscar-nominated scripter Simon Beaufoy co-writing with Alice Nutter.

The series finds the crew still trying various get-rich schemes with mixed to dismal results. The movie, which saw the unemployed steelworkers of Sheffield secretly becoming strippers to raise some cash — and their low self-esteem —ended on a high as the lads gave the enthusiastic hometown audience “the full monty,” that is, full frontal nudity.

Ahead of the premiere, TheWrap spoke with Carlyle and Snape, as well as returning stars Mark Addy as lovably glum Dave,...

Telling a story about joy in times of despair is always a hard task. First and foremost, there is only so much despair people can endure while still finding some semblance of cheer. But it's also because finding the balance between the sorrow of falling on hard times and the humor and levity inherent to human life can often seem impossible. It isn't rare for comedies and light-hearted dramas about difficult situations to fail, either for being tasteless or for erring too much on the side of cheap sentimentalism. In such a tough spot for a story to truly flourish, Peter Cattaneo's 1997 film The Full Monty stands out as a beautiful and funny tale about finding community and even happiness in the most trying of times.

The demonstration took place at London’s Leicester Square as part of a Global Day of Solidarity for the WGA.

Members of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (Wggb), including Jesse Armstrong, Dennis Kelly and Simon Beaufoy, protested in solidarity with the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) in London’s Leicester Square today (June 14).

British big-hitters Russell T. Davies, Jack Thorne and Dennis Kelly are preparing to stand with writers around the world today in support of striking scribes on a global day of solidarity and action.

Badged ‘Screenwriters Everywhere,’ writers and protestors from almost two-dozen countries will march later to show support for their American counterparts, who put their pens down on May 2.

Actions are taking place throughout the globe including at Netflix’s office in Seoul, South Korea, Apple and Amazon in Canada and the European Parliament in Brussels.

The Writers Guild of Great Britain (Wggb)-organized protest in the UK will be attended by the likes of Doctor Who Showrunner Davies, Help’s Thorne, The Full Monty writers Alice Nutter and Simon Beaufoy, and The Third Day’s Kelly.

The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (Wggb) on Wednesday joined writers and other workers in the media and entertainment sectors around the world for “Screenwriters Everywhere,” a global day of solidarity with striking Hollywood writers. The goal of the protest organized in central London was to “stand in support of the 11,500 members of Writers Guild of America West and Writers Guild of America East” who have been on strike since May 2.

1997 film The Full Monty is remembered for two things: being an unexpectedly massive hit, and its final shot of six naked bums frozen mid-sway to Tom Jones’ “You Can Leave Your Hat On”. Over time, its story about a group of unemployed Sheffield men making themselves a bit of cash and even more notoriety by stripping on stage for one night only has been boiled down to box-office and bare bottoms. So much so that when this 26-years-later sequel was first announced, there was a lot of the same reaction: wouldn’t that lot be in their sixties by now? Who’d want to see them in a thong?

You don’t see anybody in a thong in The Full Monty TV series, which doesn’t even call back to that infamous sold-out night at the Millthorpe Working Men’s Club until episode six of eight. For want of a less troubling mental image,...

Was there anyone, truly, who left The Full Monty wondering what these lads would be up to in three decades’ time?

The 1997 film was a complete work in itself, with few plot threads left dangling and no cinematic universe necessary. Hulu’s new sequel, also titled The Full Monty, doesn’t offer an obvious justification for its own existence either. There’s no inciting incident that brings us back to Sheffield, and no motivating goal once we’re there. The most explicit homage to the movie’s famous dance number plays (amusingly) like maybe the cast joked that they wouldn’t do the routine again if they had a gun to their heads.

Yet in spite of it all, the series works more often than not. The show (created by Simon Beaufoy, who also wrote the film) makes the bet that although the stripper plot might be what most people remember about The Full Monty,...

In the 1997 sleeper hit comedy The Full Monty, six unemployed men in a dying English steel town attempt to make some cash by putting on a show where they will dance and strip for the local women. In the new FX sequel series, Gaz (Robert Carlyle), Dave (Mark Addy), and the rest of the group are in many ways more desperate. But they’re also too old and slow to reprise their greatest hit. When a stranger pressures them to do the dance again for the first time in 26 years,...

The gang's all back in a new set of character posters for The Full Monty as FX prepares to air the sequel series later this week. After bearing all in the original 1997 film, Robert Carlyle and the cast of the comedy classic are coming back for a new story all about the mischief they've gotten up to in the post-industrial town of Sheffield since that fateful performance. Almost everyone who appeared in the surprise indie hit will return for the show along with a few new characters that will further flesh out Gaz's world.

If the end of “Succession” left an HBO-sized hole in your heart, you’ve probably been wandering aimlessly these past couple weeks waiting for something else to catch your attention.

It’s been over 25 years since The Full Monty graced the silver screen, but though viewers will have walked away feeling stellar after its euphoric finale, the behind-the-scenes story was an experience rougher than what watching the final film would suggest. Now, a brand-new Hulu series is right around the corner, picking up with the original cast for another look at working-class life in Sheffield, UK, a town known for its once-thriving steel industries. While some may take issue with the fact that the sequel miniseries doesn’t actually feature the film’s most iconic element, the male stripping, true fans of the original know that The Full Monty is about so much more than that.

Plot: Taking place 25 years after the original British smash hit, the eight-episode series will follow the same band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors. The comedy-drama will uncover what happened to the gang after they put their kit back on, exploring their brighter, sillier and more desperate moments. It will also highlight how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in the intervening decades.

Review: In the late 90s, The Full Monty was a surprise hit film thanks to Simon Beaufoy’s script, which told the story of a group of working-class guys who devised a Chippendales-inspired plan to save their town. Capitalizing on Robert Carlyle’s growing popularity thanks to Trainspotting along with inspired performances from Mark Addy, Tom Wilkinson, and more, The Full Monty was a feel-good smash...

Robert Carlyle believes that Once Upon a Time may have gone on for too long. Carlyle was a series regular throughout all seven seasons of the popular ABC series. He played the conniving Rumplestiltskin, also known as Mr. Gold or the Dark One. When Once Upon a Time underwent a soft reboot in season 7, Carlyle played a corrupt police detective named Weaver who did not initially remember that he was Rumplestiltskin. He also played Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin, who became the final villain in the series finale.

While promoting the revival of The Full Monty, Carlyle was asked by The A.V. Club about being part of Once Upon a Time. He shared how grateful he is to have been part of the series and praised the show's early seasons, while also admitting that it may have gone on longer than it should have. Read his comments below:

Series creator Simon Beaufoy and co-writer Alice Nutter have shown their support for the US writers’ strike by picketing the Disney+ show’s premiere.

The Full Monty series creator Simon Beaufoy and co-writer Alice Nutter have demonstrated their support for the US writers’ strike by picketing the Disney+ show’s premiere, which took place last night in Sheffield.

Nutter posted on Twitter ahead of the premiere, on May 18: “Worked on The Full Monty TV show for 3 years with Simon Beaufoy but as WGA members @WGAWestwriters we are on strike so won’t be doing any promo, interviews or going to our own premieres.

While watching The Full Monty, the follow-up series to the 1997 film of the same name, another fairly recent work came to mind, one that felt like this sequel was occasionally attempting to follow in the footsteps of. While a film and not a series, Danny Boyle’s magnificent Trainspotting 2 was also a sequel playing out decades after the events of the original story, which also featured Robert Carlyle reprising his previous role. Though his characters in each work are quite different, with one being an antagonist and the other being much more of a protagonist, the stories share connective thematic tissue. In both, existential questions about survival and legacy abound, and the plot matters less over what it reveals about the characters who are getting up to various shenanigans. Where the two differ is in execution, with Trainspotting 2 proving to be more visually inventive and striking a balance...

Hugo Speer, renowned for his role in the hit film “The Full Monty”, shared his firsthand account of an alleged unfair dismissal from an upcoming Disney spin-off television series.

Speer, known for his portrayal of Guy in the iconic 1997 film, which earned $250 million at the box office with its tale of six unemployed steelworkers turned striptease artists, had reunited with other members of the original cast to reprise his role in the TV sequel.

However, his time in the production took an abrupt turn in May of last year when he was unexpectedly dismissed due to allegations of “inappropriate conduct” during filming in Manchester.

Sharing his side of the story, Speer revealed to Daily Mail that his contract with Disney was terminated following an incident where he was inadvertently seen naked in his trailer.

Robert Carlyle’s life has been defined by two remarkable characters: the explosively violent Begbie, and Gaz in The Full Monty. Here, he talks about his Glasgow childhood, Britpop hedonism – and playing the Pm…

It was 1997, and Robert Carlyle was in his mid-30s, when he first played the stripping Sheffield steelworker Gaz in The Full Monty. Last year, to get ready to play him again – this time for an eight-part TV series – he sat himself down to watch the film. He seems slightly embarrassed to admit it – he’s not the kind of actor who likes to watch himself. “And I’m not about trawling back through something from 20-odd years ago,” he says. But The Full Monty was calling him to South Yorkshire, so trawl back he did. He decided that he would watch a few minutes, then he would move on. “And I sat there and watched the whole thing.

Hugo Speer, known for his role in 1997’s The Full Monty, is opening up about why he believes he was unfairly let go from the upcoming Disney+ television spinoff of the hit movie.

The actor starred as Guy in the 90s film that followed six unemployed steel workers as they form a male striptease act. Decades later, he was among several original castmembers set to reprise their roles in the series, which is set to premiere June 14.

But everything changed when Disney said Speer’s contract was terminated for “inappropriate conduct” during filming in Manchester, England. During a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Hugo claimed that a runner, with some on-set experience, knocked on his trailer when he was changing, and while he claims he told her to wait a minute, she opened the door anyway. The actor said he hid behind a wardrobe and was confused at why...

After his sudden departure from a sequel series for The Full Monty last year, actor Hugo Speer is speaking out about what happened. Back in 1997, Speer was one part of the ensemble cast of The Full Monty, a British comedy about a group of unemployed men who become unlikely male strippers. A sequel series, which has also been dubbed The Full Monty, was recently developed by Disney. It's set to release this month for streaming on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ in the UK.

In the new series, Speer reprises his role as Guy from the feature film version of The Full Monty. In a new chat with the Daily Mail, the actor spoke about how things went south on the set, resulting in his firing and a tarnished reputation. While Disney would only state publicly that Speer was terminated from the production after allegations of "inappropriate conduct,...

It’s a new month, and Hulu subscribers are getting a slew of new movies and TV shows to enjoy.

British actor Hugo Speer, who appeared in the hit film The Full Monty, has given his account of how he believes he was unfairly sacked from the forthcoming Disney spin-off television series.

Speer, who played Guy in the 1997 film – about six unemployed steel workers from Sheffield who form a striptease group – which stormed to a surprising box office of $250million, had joined several other members of the film cast in reprising his role for the TV sequel.

FX’s The Bear season 2 premieres all episodes on June 22. If you’re not already captivated by this intense culinary story about the little Italian beef shop that could, definitely catch up now. This time around, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and friends will attempt a major foodie rebrand. The only other Hulu series of note this month is the docuseries The Age of Influence. Premiering on June 5, this doc will examine the dark side of influencer culture.

Just like its corporate partner Disney+, Hulu will premiere Eva Longoria’s directorial debut, Flamin’ Hot, in June 9. The movie tells the true story of Frito-Lay janitor Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia) who created an iconic snack that forever changed the food industry. Also...

Updated with new trailer, 10:50 Am: Raylan Givens is back on the job in the first full trailer for FX’s limited series Justified: City Primeval. Timothy Olyphant reprises his Emmy-nominated role as the U.S. marshal from Kentucky with a slow manner and quick temper as the new series takes the action to the Motor City. There, Givens is assigned to a task force to find the guy who has “left a trail of shit from Oklahoma to Detroit.”

Spring's almost over, people. As we approach the beginning of summer, it's a time of change for everyone. But one thing that's always a constant is that the new month will herald yet another reshuffle for all the major streaming services, and Hulu is one of them. June will see the debut of a number of shows and movies on the streaming service. That includes Eva Longoria's feature directorial debut Flamin' Hot, a new season of the perennial sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the new sequel series to the 1997 British comedy classic The Full Monty, and Brandon Cronenberg's acclaimed sci-fi horror film Infinity Pool, which debuted earlier this year. And that's all great, but as with every month, June will also see a bunch of titles departing the service, some of which may return in the future while others will be gone for good.

It’s a new year, and that means there’s a new lineup of series premieres, season premieres and the premiere of some shows’ last seasons. Our 2023 TV premiere dates guide will help you curate your “when to watch” list for the year.

Grab your popcorn, tissues and please keep the phone calls and texts to a minimum, because this year’s lineup of shows will have you hooked. Check out our guide below, and come back frequently as we’ll keep this updated throughout the year

Season 2 of last summer’s hit breakout series “The Bear” is set to premiere on Hulu on Thursday, June 22.
