Hollywood has a knack for never letting a good spy retire in peace. Just ask James Bond, Ethan Hunt, or, in this case, Jason Bourne. It turns out that if you’re an amnesiac superspy with a talent for surviving impossible situations, you don’t just disappear, you go on an extended vacation until a major studio decides it’s time to dust you off.

Now, Jason Bourne is back in the headlines, not for a new adventure, but because the rights to his franchise are up for grabs. The fight is about to get as intense as one of his famous car chases through European streets.

So, who’s trying to claim Bourne’s allegiance? Some of the biggest players in Hollywood and streaming, are Universal, Netflix, Apple, and Skydance. Each of them sees the potential of bringing the shaky-cam king back to action,...

Apple’s video streaming business is still firmly in the red, according to a new report.

The Apple TV+ premium subscription service is losing more than $1 billion per year, according to an anonymously sourced report by The Information published Thursday. The tech giant is spending around $4.5 billion on content annually, down from $5 billion in past years, according to the article. Apple TV+ — which features virtually an all-original lineup — has about 45 million subscribers, per the report.

Reps for Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

Of course, $1 billion in annual losses are practically a rounding error for Apple in the context of its overall business, which is mostly fueled by iPhone sales. Apple generated $391 billion in revenue and posted a net profit of $93.7 billion for its fiscal year ended in September 2024.

The company does not disclose financial or subscriber metrics for Apple TV+. The streaming business is part of Apple’s Services segment,...

Forty years ago, author William Gibson brought the world a cyberpunk novel called Neuromancer – and an adaptation of that story has been trudging its way through development hell pretty much ever since. Versions of a feature film adaptation have passed through the hands of directors like music video maker Chris Cunningham, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and The Blob‘s Chuck Russell, Torque‘s Joseph Kahn, Cube‘s Vincenzo Natali, and Deadpool‘s Tim Miller. An adaptation of Neuromancer is currently moving forward as a 10-episode series that’s set up at Apple TV+, and Deadline reports that Dane DeHaan of Oppenheimer and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has signed on to play a character named Peter Riviera.

In the source material, Peter Riviera was “a thief and sadist who can project holographic images.” Which sounds like a great character for Dane DeHaan to play.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are enjoying a night out!

The 29-year-old “Levitating” singer and the 35-year-old Masters of the Air actor held hands as they left Dorian restaurant after a dinner date on Tuesday night (March 11) in the Notting Hill neighborhood of London, England.

For their outing, Dua looked stylish in a tan snakeskin-print coat over an all black outfit while Callum sport a brown coat, tan sweater, and greenish-brown pants.

If you didn’t know, Dua and Callum have been romantically linked since January 2024 and in July, they made their relationship Instagram official.

Then late last year, the pair sparked engagement rumors when Dua was first photographed and a diamond and gold ring on her left ring finger, but they haven’t publicly addressed the speculation yet.

Dua recently teamed up with Jennie for the new song “Handlebars.” Watch the music video here!

MGM’s new Robin HoodTV series has just moved that much closer to entering production. The series will follow the tale of Robin Hood, sometimes Robin of Locksley, and Maid Marian during England’s Middle Ages.

Robin Hood, a bandit who is more myth and folk hero than real person, is a Nottingham-based myth and subject of many films and shows - good and bad alike. The "who" of who plays Robin Hood in these adaptions has always been a starter of great discussion - and sometimes, controversy - though Robin Hood is nothing without Marian, and MGM just cast theirs, per Deadline.

Who’s Playing Maid Marian?

The actress cast in the role of Robin Hood’s love interest is Lauren McQueen, who has previously appeared on Apple TV’s Masters of the Air as well as British soap opera Hollyoaks. She also recently wrapped filming for the Outlander prequel,...

“Think different,” as Apple famously coined, is more than just a tagline—it’s a manifesto, a rallying cry for innovation in all its forms. But what does it mean to truly think outside the box when it comes to indulging in the art form of binge-watching?

With Apple TV+ stepping into the limelight, we’re invited to dive deep into a realm of unparalleled storytelling—a place where creativity reigns supreme and the content is anything but formulaic. Are you ready to uncover a treasure trove of riveting tales, mysterious twists, and groundbreaking ideas that defy convention?

Kai Alexander and Vincent Londez in Masters of the Air

Apple TV+ may not have the quantity of Netflix’s firehose approach, but the quality here is truly second to none. From the nail-biting drama of Severance to the history-rich Masters of the Air, Apple’s distinctive offerings redefine what it means to be binge-worthy.

Diane Kruger‘s preparation for her role in the upcoming psychological thriller Little Disasters was a reflective process.

“It’s a very weird time for any woman, right?” the Troy and Inglourious Basterds star tells The Hollywood Reporter about becoming a mother. “You lose control of who you were before. You fear you’re never going to get that back, and everything changes overnight.” She adds: “It’s wonderful and joyful and all those things as well, but it is definitely a strange time in your life.”

The Paramount+ U.K. & Ireland six-episode show, premiering this year, is based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Vaughan (Anatomy of a Scandal). Tackling postnatal anxiety, parenting, marriage and maternal Ocd, it follows four very different women — Jess (Kruger), Liz (Jo Joyner), Charlotte (Shelley Conn) and Mel (Emily Taaffe) — who become fast friends when they have not much else in...

MGM+’s new Robin Hood series has found the Maid Marian to Jack Patten’s Rob. Per Deadline, Here and Masters of the Air star Lauren McQueen has been tapped to play the show's new take on the female lead, who is described as the daughter of a Norman lord and a courageous freedom fighter alongside the titular outlaw. Her romantic relationship with Rob will be the beating heart of the sweeping tale helmed by Seal Team alum John Glenn, but she's not the only new addition. The cast has officially been rounded out, with McQueen joined by Lydia Peckham, Steven Waddington, Marcus Fraser, Angus Castle-Doughty, and Henry Rowley.

Exclusive: Lauren McQueen (Here) has been cast as the female lead opposite Jack Patten in MGM+‘s upcoming series Robin Hood.

Lydia Peckham, Steven Waddington, Marcus Fraser, Angus Castle-Doughty and Henry Rowley

From Lionsgate TV and showrunner John Glenn, Robin Hood is described as a sweeping, romantic adventure, a modern take of the classic tale that brings historical authenticity, psychological depth, and a heightened focus on the relationship between Rob and Marian.

In the series, following the Norman invasion of England, Rob (Patten) – a Saxon forester’s son – and Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord – fall in love and work together to fight for justice and freedom.

Edward Lachman, Jomo Fray, and Sam McCurdy take home top honors at the 39th annual ASC Awards, while ‘Maria’ and ‘Nickel Boys’ stand out among the winners.

Edward Lachman won his first ASC Award for Maria, beating out Greg Frasier for Dune: Part Two and Lol Crawley for The Brutalist at the 39th annual ASC Awards, held on February 23 at The Beverly Hilton. Lachman’s surprise win comes after five previous nominations, marking a long-awaited achievement in his career.

Maria, Lachman’s collaboration with director Pablo Larraín, focuses on the final days of opera singer Maria Callas, reflecting on her life and the challenges of maintaining her voice. To capture this story, Lachman utilized Kodak film in 35mm, 16mm, and Super 8, shooting in both color and black-and-white stock. This film is part of Larraín’s Important Women Trilogy, alongside Jackie and Spencer.

Other notable winners included Robert Elswit for Ripley in the Limited Series category,...

“Maria” cinematographer Edward Lachman won the Feature Film prize at the 39th annual ASC Awards, February 23 at The Beverly Hilton.

The expanded list was due to how close the percentage of voting was.

This marks Lachman’s first win after five nominations at the ASC Awards. He was previously nominated for his work with Todd Haynes on “Mildred Pierce,” “Far From Heaven,” and “Carol,” as well as his previous effort with Pablo Larraín, “El Conde.” His second project with the Chilean filmmaker, “Maria,” follows the last days of opera singer Maria Callas as she reflects on her life and the struggle of maintaining her own voice. It serves as a culmination of Larraín’s “Important Women” Trilogy,...

The Guild of Music Supervisors Awards revealed its 2025 winners Sunday night (Feb. 23). The 15th annual ceremony was held at The Wiltern in L.A.’s Koreatown and honors the year’s best work in songs and scores for screen.

Sunday’s ceremony began with a video about January’s deadly wildfires, in which guild president Lindsay Wolfington lost her home. She thanked the community for rallying behind her during opening remarks with vp Heather Guibert.

The opening remarks didn’t shy away from addressing the Academy’s decision to “move away” from best original song live performances at the 2025 Oscars. “We are proud that our awards for best song written and or recorded for film and for television, acknowledges the collaborative efforts of the songwriters, the performers, and of course the music,” Guibert told the crowd.

“This year in particular, unlike other awards bodies, we are especially proud to be...

On Sunday, the Motion Picture Sound Editors announced the winners of the Mpse Golden Reel Awards, and four of the five Oscar nominees for Best Sound came away victorious: Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, Wicked, and The Wild Robot. The fifth Oscar nominee, A Complete Unknown, had two Golden Reel nominations, but didn't win.

These exceptional professionals don’t just enhance stories—they define them. Tonight, we celebrate their dedication, innovation, and the lasting impact of their craft.”

The music-focused biopic “A Complete Unknown” has been honored for its sound mixing at the 61st annual Cinema Audio Society Awards, which took place Saturday at the Beverly Hilton.

The Bob Dylan film is one of two Cas winners that are also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound, the other being the Cas animation winner, “The Wild Robot.”

Since 2020, when the Oscars combined its Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing categories into a single Best Sound category, the Cas winner has gone on to win the Oscar every year. Prior to that, the Cas winner would take the Oscar for mixing about half the time.

The award for documentary feature went to “Music by John Williams,” which triumphed in a music-dominated category; other nominees included “Elton John: Never Too Late” and “I Am: Celine Dion.” The television non-fiction category was won by the music-centered “Beatles ’64.”

In the other TV categories,...

The James Bond franchise is now in the hands of Amazon MGM Studios following the transfer of creative control from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson on Thursday. And that means there’s room for a new Agent 007.

The role has been held by actors including Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and the longest-running James Bond actor, Daniel Craig. The charming spy remains one of the most iconic characters in television and cinema. That’s why finding the right person to play 007 is no easy mission. But we’re helping Hollywood out with the search by listing the actors we think are perfectly suited for the task.

Not only did we name them, we are also showing you images of the blokes in their best tuxes or suits. Check out the list below.

Idris Elba (Getty Images) Idris Elba

Come on now, you knew the list was going to start with the Idris Elba.

Tom Hardy has exited Cary Fukunaga’s Blood On Snow and Benedict Cumberbatch is taking his place. More on the news below.

Jo Nesbø is the author behind such crime novels as The Headhunters, The Snowman and The Hanging Sun, all of which have been adapted into films. The latest Nesbø tome to get the adaptation treatment is Blood On Snow, the writer’s 2015 novel.

We reported last year that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Tom Hardy were gearing up to star in the film, which is to be directed by No Time To Die director Cary Fukunaga. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Hardy has exited the project due to scheduling issues, but he’s being replaced by another prominent British star, Benedict Cumberbatch.

Although it hasn’t been formally confirmed yet, it’s believed that Cumberbatch will play a mob boss named Fisherman. Taylor-Johnson will play Olav, a hit man...

Cillian Murphy has been named Best Lead Actor in the film category of the Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs) for the second year running.

Following his win last year for Oppenheimer (which went on to bag him the Oscar), Murphy won for his role in the film Small Things Like These.

The film, an adaptation of Claire Keegan’s novella, also won Best Film.

Complete Winners List Below

An Irish-language film about Belfast rap group Kneecap was nominated in 17 award categories. The film’s director Rich Peppiatt won best director in the film category, and it was also recognised in casting and costume design.

At the ceremony in Dublin, Ireland, Friday evening, Saoirse Ronan was a double winner, taking home Best Lead Actress for The Outrun and Best Supporting Actress for The Blitz.

Ralph Fiennes and Demi Moore were winners in the international acting categories for Conclave and The Substance respectively.

Apple TV+'sMasters of the Air was a standout success in 2024, bringing key moments of World War II to life with historical accuracy. One storyline that received some focus was the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black military pilots in U.S. history. However, while the series highlights their heroism, many aspects of their story are left untold. Fortunately, HBO’s film The Tuskegee Airmen offers a closer look at their story.

Featuring a star-studded cast, including Laurence Fishburne, the film dramatizes the Airmen’s experiences. While Masters of the Air provides an interesting but limited depiction, The Tuskegee Airmen presents a more detailed account of the challenges these men faced, making it essential viewing for anyone wanting to fully understand this incredible chapter in history.

What is The Tuskegee Airmen About?

Based on a true story, The Tuskegee Airmen follows the first Black military pilots in U.S. history during World War II.

Small Things Like These, an Irish drama starring Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant and father haunted by secret abuses in a local convent sanctioned by the Catholic Church, beat out Kneecap, the hip-hop comedy featuring Michael Fassbender, to win the best film honor at the Irish Film & Television Awards 2025 during a ceremony held in Dublin on Friday. Saoirse Ronan left with two awards (the lead actress honor for her role in The Outrun and the supporting actress trophy for Blitz). Murphy won the best actor IFTA for his work in Small Things Like These. Demi Moore (The Substance) and Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) were honored in the international acting categories, and Colin Farrell (The Penguin) and Sharon Horgan (for writing Bad Sisters) earned TV statuettes.

Rich Peppiatt received the best director IFTA for Kneecap, which follows the West Belfast hip-hop trio of the same name on their mission to save their mother tongue.

The Society of Composers and Lyricists announced its 2025 awards recipients at the sixth annual Scl Awards.

Composers and lyricists gathered together for a dinner and ceremony hosted by singer-songwriter Colin Hays, held at the Skirball Cultural Center. The evening opened with a performance of “Lean on Me” — meant to bring the community together after the recent wildfires that have devastated Los Angeles.

While the night’s atmosphere was overall celebratory, the awards ceremony took several opportunities to acknowledge the recent tragedy in the city. Composer Starr Parodi, who lost her home in the Palisades Fire, was given a replacement plaque for her previously earned jury award on stage.

Among the top awardees for the night were Daniel Blumberg for The Brutalist, Diane Warren for The Six Triple Eight, Kris Bowers for The Wild Robot and Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Luca Guadagnino for Challengers.

Composer Harry Gregson-William accepted the Spirit...

We first heard that Cape Fear was being adapted for the small screen back in 2023, and late last year,it was announced that Apple TV+ has ordered a 10-episode series with Nick Antosca on board as writer, executive producer, and showrunner.

The project also has two filmmaking legends involved, with Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese set to executive produce.

Javier Bardem is set to play Max Cady, and Deadline is now reporting that he'll be joined by Amy Adams as Amanda Bowden. The Academy Award-nominee is also on board as an executive producer.

With Adams in this role, there's a good chance her character will be brought more to the forefront, and there's speculation that Amanda will be Cady's former attorney in this take on the story (the synopsis below may support this).

The show will be based on the John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners, which inspired both the...

It's tough to be the son of a dragon-hating Viking. Hiccup learns that the hard way in the new trailer for Universal's How to Train Your Dragon.

With Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind the animated How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, returning as writer and director, marketing continues to spotlight how faithful this upcoming live-action remake is to the animated original, with several scenes in the trailer being near shot-for-shot recreations from the animated movie.

The feature, directed by BAFTA winner Mark Jenkin (Bait), recently wrapped filming in Cornwall and a first look image has been released via Deadline, showing MacKay and Turner's central characters, Nick and Liam, respectively.

For the few who remember, it’s a sign. The Rose of Nevada must go out to sea again, maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Nick (MacKay) takes a job aboard the boat in an attempt to provide for his young family. Alongside him, newly arrived Liam (Turner) joins the crew, desperate to escape his past. They head to sea and after a successful trip return to harbour.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are stepping out for the night during Paris Fashion Week!

The hot couple posed for photos while arriving at the Tiffany & Co. party celebrating the launch of Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams on Tuesday night (January 28) held at Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, France.

For the party, the 29-year-old “Dance The Night” singer went glam in a black velvet dress while the 34-year-old Masters of the Air actor coordinated in an all-black suit.

For the past few weeks, Dua and Callum have sparked engagement rumors after she was spotted a gold and diamond ring on her left ring finger.

Before the Tiffany party, Dua was seen wearing that same ring while stepping out for lunch with Callum.

Band of Brothers has always remained on the peripheries of great television – critically revered but never quite as celebrated as other HBO projects like Game of Thrones or The Sopranos. However, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’s sensational work isn’t just another war story filled with gritty realism and unfiltered horrors of war.

Band of Brothers [Credit: HBO]

The HBO miniseries defied genres and shifted the preconceived standards of television to establish a tale that surpassed expectations and redefined storytelling. Band of Brothers proved that fiction concedes when compared to the horrors of reality itself, especially when it comes to the subjects of blood, trauma, doom, and death.

And one member of the Easy Company in the real-life Band of Brothers knew it all too well.

The real saga that inspired the Band of Brothers adaptation was far more brutal,...

In a moment near the end of our interview at the IndieWire Studio at Sundance, presented by Dropbox, Callum Turner gets sheepish about dropping a certain four-letter word. The British actor asks if he’s going to be bleeped. When I say that he won’t — IndieWire is edgy and won’t tolerate censorship! — he says he actually really wants, perhaps desperately, to be bleeped.

Perhaps it’s the kind of American talk show convention the 34-year-old Londoner wants to embrace as he continues to make a mark in the U.S. The rising star has already been in “Green Room,” “Emma,” “The Boys in the Boat,” as well as “Masters of the Air,” but late night show ubiquity still lies ahead for him. And it’s gonna happen.

The frantic desire to be bleeped certainly captures the manic energy of his new, cockeyed rom-com, “Atropia,” directed by Hailey Gates and co-starring Alia Shawkat.

Exclusive: Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones), Joe Alwyn (The Brutalist), Naledi Murray (Sweet Tooth), Ben Chaplin (September 5) and Sebastian Orozco (The Crow) round out the cast of Sam Esmail’s upcoming film Panic Carefully for Warner Bros.

They join the previously announced leading cast of Julia Roberts, Eddie Redmayne, Elizabeth Olsen, and Brian Tyree Henry.

Details regarding the film’s premise and character descriptions are under wraps. Panic Carefully is described as a paranoid thriller in the vein of Esmail’s Mr. Robot and Silence of the Lambs and involves the hunt for a cyber-terrorist.

Esmail wrote the film and will direct. He and Chad Hamilton will produce for Esmail Corp., along with Scott Stuber, Roberts, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan. Kevin McCormick and Chrystal Li are overseeing the project for Warner Bros.

Gillen is known for portraying “Petyr ‘Littlefinger’ Baelish” in HBO’s critically acclaimed hit Game of Thrones,...

A new trailer for How to Train Your Dragon has been released. In it, Hiccup struggles to live up to his father's wishes to be a Viking warrior.

The new "Warrior" trailer doesn't feature much new footage, with most of what is shown having already appeared in the official trailer for the upcoming live-action movie based on DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy. Marketing continues to focus on how faithful of a recreation the forthcoming movie is to the animated trilogy, with several shot-for-shot remakes appearing in the "Warrior" trailer, such as Hiccup and Toothless' first meeting. Check out the "Warrior" trailer below.

“Kneecap” — the Irish-language music biopic that became one of the buzziest indie films of 2024 and is now tipped for both Oscar and BAFTA recognition — has, perhaps unsurprisingly, emerged far ahead of the pack of nominees for the 2025 Irish Film & TV Academy (IFTA) awards.

Rich Peppiatt’s raucous comedy, about (and starring) the Belfast rap trio of the same name, has landed an astonishing 17 nominations for the awards, including best film, director, three of the six slots for lead actor, three of the six for supporting actress and one for Michael Fassbender in the supporting actor category.

“Small Things Like These,” the considerably quieter Irish drama fronted (and produced) by Cillian Murphy has nine nominations, including lead actor for Murphy, who won the award last year for “Oppenheimer.”

Having been co-produced by Irish company Tailored Films, Ali Abbasi’s Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice” is also in the mix, with four nominations.

Nominations are out for the 2025 Irish Film & Television Awards with the Cillian Murphy drama Small Things Like These and the music comedy Kneecap among the tipped films. Scroll down for the full list of nominees.

Small Things Like These has nods in Best Screenplay, Lead Actor for Murphy, and Best Film. Other Best Film nominees include Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice, King Frankie, and Kneecap.

Kneecap has a strong showing across the noms, with nods in Best Director for Rich Peppiatt and all three of the film’s leads pop up in Best Actor. Paul Mescal also received a Best Actor nomination for his role in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II.
