Even though it has been many years since Bruce Lee's far-too-young tragic death, he continues to intrigue and mystify fans of his legendary work. As a martial artist, actor, and philosopher, Lee used his skill, intellect, and charisma to craft a career that, while relatively short, left its mark. This is why it should come as no surprise that one of our great filmmakers, Ang Lee, has been working on a Bruce Lee biopic for years, and now the director has provided an update on the status of the project.

While speaking with a Chinese outlet, via World of Reel, Lee spoke about his Bruce Lee biopic, following reports that the screenplay was finally done, and the director expressed that it was something that he wanted to get right. The Ice Storm filmmaker said, "It took me several years to figure out how to crack this film and come...

The Hollywood Walk of Fame gained a new star on Thursday morning when Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Christina Ricci was honored for her decades-long career in film and television. Hollywood Boulevard was flooded with fans of Ricci toting merchandise from her most famous projects, including The Addams Family, Casper, and her current series, Showtime's survival thriller Yellowjackets.

"They do the list of nominees who could get it and the second I saw [my name] I cried," Ricci told Gold Derby following the ceremony. "I don't really understand quite well why it's so meaningful to me, but I think it's such validation and acceptance and an acknowledgment, and it feels really special."

Ricci's former collaborators took to the makeshift stage to give impassioned speeches about the impact she's had on them and their careers. Dan Bucatinsky, in particular, got choked up as he recounted taking a 17-year-old Ricci in with his husband...

Stars: Tori Griffith, Tomoki Kimura, Derek Mears, Damian Toofeek Raven, Joey Iwanaga, Matt Standley, Shelby Lee Parks, Stefanie Estes | Written and Directed by Kurando Mitsutake

Lion-Girl was written and directed by Kurando Mitsutake based on characters created by famed manga author and artist Go-Nagai who also created Devilman, Cutie Honey and Mazinger Z among others and produced by Toei Video. If that sounds like a recipe for a whole lot of weirdness, then you’re right.

The film opens in a Tokyo bathhouse with several nude people staring at a young woman named Botan. After, she refuses to be scared by their threats, they begin to transform. They sprout horns and fangs, their faces become brightly coloured kabuki masks as they snarl in anger. A glowing tattoo appears on her back as she turns to face them.

At which point Lion-Girl goes into exposition mode as the viewer learns how...

Christina Ricci's Hollywood Career

This award comes after Ricci has spent more than 33 years in the entertainment industry. In 1990, she made her big screen debut in the critically...

Tubi and Mutiny Films have teamed up to create the upcoming thriller The Getback, and Screen Rant is proud to present an exclusive first look. With more content on the way, it will be the first of a four-picture deal between the Fox-owned streaming service and LA-founded production company. While there is no official release date, it won't be long before Tubi drops the news, as they are aiming for a 2023 premiere. Starring Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), the film follows a bounty hunter who must protect a con artist criminal accountant from the cops and mercenaries who have set out to kill him.

Written by Chad Law and Garry Charles, Jared Cohn serves as the movie's director. Cohn has worked on several projects, with a few of his most recent being Vendetta, Lord of the Streets, and Ice Storm. The Getback has a strong main cast with Dermot Mulroney,...

At the age of nine, Christina Ricci made her breakout debut in the 1990 film “Mermaids” alongside Cher and Winona Rider. Now, at 43 years old, Ricci has over three decades of credits to her name and could be on the brink of a historic double Emmy nomination for her roles as Misty in the Showtime drama “Yellowjackets” and Marilyn Thornhill in the Netflix comedy “Wednesday.” Bids for both would make her the second woman in history to be nominated for Best Drama Supporting Actress and Best Comedy Supporting Actress in the same year. The first was Nancy Walker in 1975, nominated for “McMillan & Wife” and “Rhoda.”

Ricci’s role in “Yellowjackets” earned the actress her second Emmy nomination last year. She was first nominated in 2006 for a guest-starring role in “Grey’s Anatomy.” During a recent appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Ricci revealed she was “terrified” to return to...

The best Tobey Maguire movies have been making headlines since appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside fellow Spider-Men Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland. Maguire is perhaps best known for his turn as Peter Parker in the original Sam Raimi trilogy, but he's also taken on plenty of blockbusters and indie roles since his feature film debut in 1989. It was in the '90s that Maguire became a true star thanks to leading roles in Pleasantville and The Cider House Rules. Since his appearance in No Way Home, there has been renewed interest in Maguire and his work.

For many years, Maguire was an indie darling, and while he had mainstream success with the Spider-Man franchise, he preferred to work with more auteur directors like Ang Lee, Lasse Hallstrom, and Steven Soderbergh. Even when choosing roles in big-budget movies, Maguire hooked up with a director like Sam Raimi. This means...

In baseball, scouts like to talk about pitching prospects in terms of mechanics.

There are pitchers who have repeatable mechanics: Their windup and delivery is the same every time, which reduces the chances of injury and facilitates easy and simple corrections.

Then there are pitchers with herky-jerky mechanics: There’s a violence and irregularity to the way they throw, which can sometimes yield more spin or more speed. But it means that in some games they just won’t have their rhythm, and the risk of blowing out an elbow or whatever is far greater. Maybe that career-ending blowout will never come and maybe it’ll come tomorrow. You never know.

HBO’s Succession is a show with repeatable mechanics. Not to be reductive, but it’s rich people who go to rich-people places and say “fuck” a lot. Give me that cast and that creative team and I’m going to assume steady execution,...

Christina Ricci is aware of the fandom around Yellowjackets.

During a visit to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Ricci admitted that she and her co-stars on the hit Showtime series felt the pressure when filming season two, which premieres March 24.

“Everybody was terrified,” she told host Stephen Colbert of the cast, which also includes Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis and Tawny Cypress, returning to set following the Emmy-nominated and well-received first season (which currently has a 100 percent freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes). “There’s been a lot of hype and build-up about how good everything is. It’s so wonderful to be so well-received and the accolades and everything, but then you have to go back and do it again.”

And when it came to her character, the dark yet quirky Yellowjackets survivor Misty, Ricci said there is one change viewers will notice in season two.

“For me, she’s so specific,...

Having a premiere at SXSW last year turned out to be a charm for directing duo The Daniels, and although awards lightning most likely won’t strike this year for this somewhat niche horror pastiche, hopefully its creators — Australian double-act the Cairnes brothers — will get their own media moment as a result. That Late Night With the Devil is one for the myriad genre festivals that abound internationally is a no-brainer, but the Cairneses deserve a bit more consideration than that for their film’s wry engagement with U.S. history and pop culture, despite shooting their New York-set film entirely in Melbourne.

Diane McBain, whose career playing spoiled rich girls included turns as the yacht owner Daphne Dutton on the ABC crime show Surfside 6 and an author stalking Elvis Presley in Spinout, has died. She was 81.

McBain died Wednesday morning at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills after a battle with liver cancer, her friend and writing partner, Michael Gregg Michaud, told The Hollywood Reporter.

McBain also guest-starred on four episodes of ABC’s Batman, first as a hat shop assistant who’s in cahoots with David Wayne’s Mad Hatter in 1966 and then as stamp company proprietor Pinky Pinkston — she wore only pink and had a pink dog — on the memorable 1967 installment that featured The Green Hornet (Van Williams) and Kato (Bruce Lee).

In her first film, McBain appeared with Richard Burton in Vincent Sherman’s Ice Storm (1960), then starred alongside Troy Donahue and Claudette Colbert...
