The systemic targeting of Jews during World War II left little room for successful, organized resistance. This is reflected in the movies made about the war, particularly the Holocaust. Historical events like the escape from Sobibor, touted as the most successful uprising of Jewish prisoners, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising have inspired directors to explore them for the screen. A much less-known but powerful event took place in rural Belarus, where four brothers led an uprising that saved over 1,200 Jews from the hands of the Nazis. This event is the subject of Edward Zwick’s 2008 film Defiance. Starring Daniel Craig as Tuvia Bielski, the eldest of the brothers who founded the Bielski Partisans, the film tells the true story of a group of Jewish rebels who waged guerrilla-like warfare against their oppressors and established a self-sufficient forest base where they built amenities like schools and hospitals.

Some of the most memorable shows of all time are good, old-fashioned prime-time soap opera fare.

Think Dallas, Dynasty, and Knot’s Landing. All were long-term series that still influence the current television age.

While television may have moved away from the genre, many series still embrace the core principle of those beloved soaps: throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

There are a lot of downright scandalous series on the air nowadays and in years past. Those that are rife with drama and unbelievable plots that may not make all the sense in the world but are too entertaining for it to matter.

We’re looking at some of those current and past series that embody the spirit of wacky and dramatic television that had everyone gathered around the water cooler (remember those?) to discuss the latest attempted murder or cheating scandal!

Brad Pitt's best movies feature him in a variety of interesting roles, from the chaotic Tyler Durden in Fight Club to the Nazi-killing soldier Aldo Raine in Inglourious Basterds. However, one of his most beautifully tragic portrayals comes in the form of Tristan Ludlow, the lead character in the 1994 Western epic, Legends of the Fall. Based on Jim Harrison's 1979 novella of the same name, the film follows Tristan as he and his brothers, Alfred (Aidan Quinn) and Samuel (Henry Thomas) enlist in World War I. The film explores the domino effect this decision has on Tristan's life.

Legends of the Fall is a drama film directed by Edward Zwick, starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, and Aidan Quinn. Set in the early 20th century, the movie follows the lives of the Ludlow family, focusing on the complex relationships between three brothers and their father against the backdrop of dramatic historical events.

Daniel Craig initially rejected the chance to play James Bond as he was fearful of being typecast.The 56-year-old actor portrayed 007 in five movies spanning from 2006's 'Casino Royale' to 2021's 'No Time To Die' but had reservations about taking the part of the legendary spy as he was concerned it could limit other opportunities for him in the movie industry.Asked if he was nervous about accepting the Bond role, Daniel told The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter Podcast: "Yes, for sure. That's why I turned it down - I mean, I said, 'No'. There wasn't a script at the time, so again, my arrogance was unbelievable, but I was just like, 'Well, until I see a script, I couldn't possibly make a a decision.'"And it was fear, exactly what you're talking about, of that thing and many others, how it would flip my life.

The upcoming month will see the release of the hilarious comedy series Laid, and also the streaming release of the brilliant horror film Speak No Evil. Just like every month, Peacock is ready to overload you with great content. So, we’re here to tell you about the 7 new movies and TV shows coming to Peacock in December 2024.

About a Boy Seasons 1-2 (December 2) Credit – NBC

About a Boy is a comedy series created by Jason Katims. Based on the 1998 novel of the same name by author Nick Hornby, the NBC series follows Will Freeman, a successful songwriter who loves living a carefree life as a bachelor in San Francisco, but his perfect life takes a turn when a single mother and her 11-year-old son move in next door.

Taking place twelve hundred years before the events of The Witcher TV show, The Witcher: Blood Origin tells the story of seven elves and their fight against a corrupt empire, and Avallach (Samuel Blenkin) is an important figure. Premiering on Netflix in 2022, Blood Origin is a very loose adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher novels, and centers on the seven warriors who fight against the Golden Empire. Most of the characters in Blood Origin are original creations for the series, but there is one supporting player who also appears in The Witcher books and video games: Avallach.

While The Witcher: Blood Origin is a miniseries, the premiere Netflix series, The Witcher is ongoing. The upcoming Witcher season 4 will famously see Liam Hemsworth replace Henry Cavill as protagonist Geralt of Rivia. Though this recasting is already drawing ire, The Witcher season 3 set viewers up for a fascinating next installment. And if...

Did anyone think Thomas Cromwell’s ascent in Henry VIII’s court would be a gentle stroll through a rose garden?

Fresh off a visit to Shaftesbury Abbey, Cromwell is uncharacteristically […]

Wolf Hall “Defiance”...

There may be no greater joy than realizing a long-harbored, seemingly impossible dream. A dream that is kept alive by the slimmest of hope. “Joy” (2024) starring Bill Nighy, Thomasin McKenzie, and James Norton is a conventionally crafted, gently stirring search for that joy regarding motherhood. The Netflix drama, directed by Ben Taylor and scripted by Jack Thorne, sifts through the historical events that precede the birth of the world’s first ‘test-tube baby,’ Louise Joy Brown. The formulaic yet nuanced approach works well for the film as it manages to tug the right kind of heartstrings.

Thorne’s breezy script does not take time to jump into the proverbial action. It is the late 1960s, and we have Jean Purdy (McKenzie) meet visionary physiologist Robert Edwards (James Norton) right away. Jean gets pulled into Robert’s ambitious dream, which would eventually pave the way for IVF (In vitro fertilization). All...

Daniel Craig has had a hugely diverse career in the last decade or so. On the one hand, he is known for playing James Bond. He appeared in five post-20th-century Bond movies, beginning with Casino Royale in 2006. At the same time, Craig's career has included non-Bond dramas, including the 2008 war thriller Defiance, and the book adaptation thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In the last five years, Craig has also been known as Benoit Blanc, the charismatic detective from the Knives Out movies.

Craig was so good as Benoit Blanc that many thought he deserved an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Though he did get acting nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes both years, the actor was snubbed at the Oscars for both Knives Out and its sequel. Despite this academy neglect, this awards...

Wild Cards season 2 is the next installment in the Canadian police procedural series and news about the upcoming season has been rolling out steadily. Premiering in January 2024, Wild Cards is a Canadian TV show that streams on The CW in America. Starring Giacomo Gianniotti as Cole Ellis and Vanessa Morgan as Max Mitchell, Wild Cards follows a demoted police officer who apprehends a habitual con woman, Max. When Max helps Ellis solve a crime, the pair are made an offer; Max a way out of jail, and Ellis, his detective badge back, if they agree to work together.

A case-of-the-week series, Wild Cards features the odd couple getting past their initial suspicions of one another to become an effective, funny, and all-around great TV police duo. The first ten episodes of the series were a hit, with season 1 earning a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The intelligent cases, the delightful side characters,...

One of Finland’s most high-profile filmmakers, Selma Vilhunen has given voices to women of all ages in her fiction and non-fiction works, from the Oscar-nominated short “Do I Have to Take Care of Everything” to Berlin Crystal Bear winner “Stupid Young Heart” to her most recent pic, “Four Little Adults,” for which Alma Pöysti won best acting in Göteborg.

Her next pic, “She Did Not Show Remorse,” will be her most ambitious epic work, but also her most enraged look at female shame culture in patriarchal societies.

Vilhunen and producer Venla Hellstedt of Finland’s Dionysos Films, have unveiled details of the storyline and the first visual in exclusivity to Variety, ahead of their pitch at Haugesund’s Nordic Co-Production Market Aug. 21.

Vilhunen’s first foray into period drama is based on Tommi Kinnunen’s best-selling novel “Ei kertonut katuvansa” (“Defiance” in English), itself inspired by true events.

Craig's first true leading comedy role was in 2017. His experience in Logan Lucky likely influenced Knives Out. Craig reinvented his career after Bond.

Daniel Craig is most known for his role as James Bond, but with Knives Out, he has found much success starring in a genre he had previously only once explored, comedy films. Throughout most of his acting tenure - including the first two decades of his career - Craig had typically been cast in dramas and adventure films. Road to Perdition, Sylvia, Layer Cake, The Golden Compass, and Defiance stand out as prominent non-007 Daniel Craig movies. Notably, apart from Some Voices in 2000, there were no comedies in his filmography as of 2016.

In 2017, however, one well-received performance changed the trajectory of his career, opening up new avenues and granting him a new baseline in his post-Bond years. In fact, since 2017, Craig has only appeared in five films,...

Thank the Midwest for the stunning “Twisters” box office turnout over the past weekend: The movie’s middle-American appeal helped Lee Isaac Chung‘s disaster movie whip up more than $80 million at the opening weekend box office. As of writing, the Glen Powell star vehicle has grossed over $113 million in the United States.

Plus, a “Super Bowl” trailer always goes a long way with heartland audiences who feel underrepresented or devalued by Hollywood. Ditto an NBCUniversal-backed NASCAR spot featuring Powell himself hocking the film, and a production shot on location in Oklahoma, and a movie about the very disasters affecting states in America’s Tornado Alley. Rival studios should take note of how Universal Pictures has tapped into a rural sensibility here with a movie both fresh and also familiar given its expansion of the IP established by Jan de Bont’s 1996 blockbuster, “Twister.”

The Game of Thrones universe has been crafted with the utmost meticulousness and intricacy. Adapting a novel into a show is always a challenging feat, to say the least, but GoT has rarely, if ever, left any space for remonstrance.

The showrunners even constructed distinct languages for the show and its spinoffs with High Valyrian being the primary tongue in House of the Dragon. But inventing an entire language isn’t all fun and games, it takes a mammoth amount of effort even with professional linguists working on it day and night.

The Knives Out movies boast star-studded casts with a mix of veteran actors and fresh talent, promising magic on screen. Daniel Craig leads the ensemble as Detective Benoit Blanc, alongside an 8-time Oscar nominee and other top actors.

The Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery cast is full of the most prominent and exciting talent today, along with some veteran actors with decades of experience.

Liev Schreiber is getting candid about what he’s learned about fame over the years, saying that it alone won’t make people truly happy.

The Emmy-nominated actor shared in an interview with Haute Living magazine, published online Thursday, that after decades in the entertainment industry, he realized the importance of working on projects that he’s actually passionate about.

“I work for hire, as they say, and like to make money,” he explained. “I have a growing family. The older I get, the more I think I want it to matter when I work. Of course, it doesn’t always — in fact, it rarely does — but it’s nice when it does, when one of your jobs means something to people. That feels good, like the job does what it was supposed to do in the beginning, which is to connect you to people.”

Exclusive: The director of Riz Ahmed and Rogan Productions’ Channel 4 series Defiance: Fighting the Far Right has opened up about how the show spotlights generational differences within the British Asian community.

Defiance, which launched earlier this week to positive reviews, shines a stark light on the violent struggles of the British Asian community in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, and is told over three hours of interviews and archival footage.

Satiyesh Manoharajah tells Deadline that the show co-produced by Oscar-nominated British Asian star Ahmed explores themes of conflict within the South Asian community, between the older generation who wanted to maintain a low profile and the younger ones who felt that staying quiet was going to get them nothing of significance. This, he adds, is particularly stark due to the fact that the the first British Asian Prime Minister was appointed two years ago.

At least stateside, audiences will experience Femme and The Beast, both starring George MacKay, as near-simultaneous releases. The 32-year-old British actor has been a presence for over two decades dating back to his film debut as a Lost Boy in 2003’s adaptation of Peter Pan. He grew up on screen in films like 2008’s Defiance, 2014’s Pride, and 2016’s Captain Fantastic. Twenty nineteen proved a breakthrough year for MacKay as a leading man, playing a heroic soldier on a mission in 1917 and delivering a brooding, brutal interpretation of Australian urban legend Ned Kelly in True History of the Kelly Gang.

MacKay’s latest one-two punch features elements familiar from his previous standout roles and elevates them to new heights. In Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping’s Femme, he’s electric as Preston, a hardened hypebeast in contemporary London who harbors a secret identity. The character is drawn out...

The closest comp to Ed Zwick’s new memoir Hits, Flops And Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood is William Goldman’s Adventures in the Screen Trade, where he posited a definitive piece of advice on the elusive formula for hit making: “Nobody knows anything.” Although he didn’t create the “if you want to send a message, try Western Union” line that has many authors, Zwick spent a career trying to defy that adage, in directing, writing and producing a long list of great and meaningful films and TV series topped by the Oscar winning Shakespeare in Love and Traffic, to Glory, Blood Diamond, About Last Night, Defiance, The Last Samurai, The Siege, thirtysomething, My So Called Life and many others.

Comparing his book to Goldman sets a high bar. Like the scripter of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid did, Zwick might fawn over great actors like Denzel Washington,...

“FBI: Most Wanted” series regular Alexa Davalos will not return for the fifth season of the CBS drama series, TheWrap has confirmed.

Davalos, who played special agent Kristin Gaines in the drama from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, will exit the show in a surprising turn of events following the show’s Season 4 finale, which did not hint at possible exit for her character.

Destiny 2’s Autumn Wind Pulse Rifle has returned with Season of Defiance (S20) and, with its PvE and PvP God Rolls, players can use it to effectively wreak havoc against enemies. The Legendary weapon was initially introduced in the popular shooter’s second season, only to be sunset later on. Now, the weapon has been brought back and is considered a great choice for players, especially in PvP activities.

What makes Autumn Wind in Destiny 2 so good is that it has a high Rpm (rounds per minute) rate and incredible stability, making it great for landing precise hits against moving targets – namely, Guardians – even if they aren’t precision shots. Additionally, it has a decent range, making it a viable choice, even when trading fire with an opponent equipped with a Scout Rifle in Destiny 2, for instance. Depending on the user’s skills, even a Sniper Rifle can be countered.

Longtime TV and film editor Susan Kesler died Thursday, March 19, following a brief battle with ovarian peritoneal cancer. She was 60.

Kesler started out in the business as an apprentice editor on “The Love Boat” and “Dynasty,” two of the most popular TV shows in the late 1980s. Her career blossomed to include working as an assistant editor on such TV series as “The X-Files,” “Crossing Jordan,” “Heroes,” “Alphas,” “Falling Skies,” “Dominion,” “Defiance” and “Zoo,” as well as the feature films “Tremors” and “ ‘night, Mother.” Most recently, she served as assistant editor for the current NBC series “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.”

Emmy-winning editor Jon Koslowsky, Ace, who frequently worked with Kesler, said, “Sue was always there if you needed a friend.”

Kesler was an avid classic TV buff who, at various times, owned a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, a replica of the one featured in “Get Smart” (1965-1970), and a “Rockford Files” (1974-1980) Pontiac Firebird replica.

Saban Films recently released a sneak peek clip of the new movie Guns Akimbo, which is scheduled for a release in select theaters at the end of this month. From Deathgasm director Jason Lei Howden, the new action-comedy movie stars Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe in what appears to be his most bizarre movie role yet, and this is certainly not like how we've ever seen him before. You can see what I mean by watching the sneak peek video below.

In addition to Daniel Radcliffe, Guns Akimbo also stars Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (The Society), Ned Dennehy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows), Grant Bowler (Defiance), and Rhys Darby (Jumanji: The Next Level).

There will be no more Krypton on Syfy. The network has opted not to renew the Superman origin drama series, and the recent Season 2 finale August 14 was a series finale on the NBCUniversal cable network. With the mothership series getting canceled, Syfy also won’t be proceeding with the previously announced Lobo spinoff, which had been in development.

I hear Krypton producer Warner Horizon Scripted Television is in conversations with other outlets, exploring ways to continue the franchise based on DC characters elsewhere. Siblings DC Universe and the upcoming HBO Max streaming platform are considered the most logical options as DC content has been a focus for both. Past seasons of Krypton already run on DC Universe. Season 1 is currently streaming on DC Universe, with Season 2 coming in 2020.

Largely fueled by its Superman pedigree, Krypton was a breakout for Syfy when it launched its first season in March 2018. It scored...

Grimjack is being developed at Amazon by Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s Agbo Studios and being written by Kevin Murphy, the creator of Defiance, Heathers the Musical and Reefer Madness. Grimjack, created by John Ostrander and Tim Truman, is the adventures of John Gaunt, hard-boiled barbarian who walks the mean streets of the interdimensional city Cynosure, where magic works on one side of the street but not the other, technology becomes sentient down the block, and swords and a bad attitude work everywhere.

If you want to read up on GrimJack before everyone else, here’s your chance— ComicMix is publishing the original runs in Omnibus format. Dive in now!

Today at Comic-Con, Joe and Anthony Russo announced projects that their AGBO Studios are in development on: an adaptation of the 1978 Japanese anime series Battle of the Planets and an Amazon series based on the graphic novel Grimjack Comics.

Battle of the Planets was originally created by Tatsuo Yoshida and Tatsunoko Studios and was arguably the first mainstream glimpse for U.S. audiences into Japanese anime during the late 1970s. In addition, it was one of the few sci-fi cartoons during that era. The series follows five young orphans who are trained from a young age to form an elite, intergalactic team known as G-Force, swearing to protect Earth and its allies from otherworldly invading forces.

A free-to-play, “massively multiplayer” online game set in J.R.R.

As yet untitled (and undated), the game, says Amazon, promises players “a new, immersive game experience for epic exploration of the vast world of Tolkien.”
