Kelly Reilly has lived up to pretty much all her fans’ expectations with her beyond-iconic works, of which Beth Dutton from the Yellowstone saga continues to be regarded as her best one to date by many. Her epic rendition in Taylor Sheridan’s Western has been so commendable that many might as well expect her to continue her role in case the series gets revived for new seasons.

And yet, when it comes to the actress herself, the events of that happening seem as unlikely as ever. This is because of her previous statements about her character, through which she made it directly clear that she’s not looking to play the feisty Dutton again after the conclusion of this series. If anything, she even expressed that she doesn’t want to play similar roles to Beth either.

If “We Are the World” marked The Greatest Night in Pop, then the Monterey International Pop Festival can easily be considered one of the most remarkable weekends in rock history. Yes, Otis Redding gave the performance of a lifetime and Ravi Shankar secured his legendary status, but it was Jimi Hendrix whose set goes down in history as fire, culminating in him setting his guitar ablaze during a transcendent rendition of “Wild Thing.” That night will no doubt be part of the upcoming doc about the life, times and experiences of Jimi Hendrix.

Director Bao Nguyen – who was also behind the Bruce Lee doc Be Water – said of his approach to his Jimi Hendrix film, “Telling the story of Jimi Hendrix during his pivotal years in London is both a profound honor and a unique responsibility. London has always been a city that inspires me. Having lived there, I felt...

Family movies in 2024 offer a variety for all ages, from animated adventures to coming-of-age stories and nostalgic remakes. Popular family movies like The Garfield Movie, The Tiger's Apprentice, and Little Wing offer unique stories and characters fit for the whole family. Families with teens can enjoy thrilling action films like Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and The Fall Guy.

The best family movies of 2024 are now available for streaming and there are plenty of options for every kind of family. 2024 has seen some fantastic movies on the release slate, and while horror and high fantasy have been a major part of that with movies like Dune: Part 2 and A Quiet Place: Day One, there have also been plenty of films for the whole family. Animated movies, remakes of classic stories, new entries in beloved franchises, and relatable coming-of-age dramas fill the ranks of the best films that the whole family can enjoy.

Kelly Reilly hopes for Beth's peace in Yellowstone's future. Reilly questions if happiness is possible for Beth in the show. Reilly's time with Yellowstone may continue in a spinoff.

Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly opens up about her ideal ending for her character Beth Dutton. Reilly has been a part of Yellowstone's cast since the show's beginning, steadily turning Beth into one of the Western drama's breakout characters. But even as the hit series prepares to sign off later this year and Beth is on a potentially deadly collision course with her sibling Jamie, recent reports have suggested that Reilly's time with the popular television franchise may not be over yet.

In a recent interview with TVLine, Reilly shared what she thought would be an ideal ending for Beth ahead of Yellowstone season 5 part 2. The show will resume filming this summer, with new episodes debuting November 10 on the Paramount Network,...

Yellowstone’s Kelly Reilly is quick to insist that she doesn’t know what the back half of Season 5 holds in store for Beth Dutton. “I mean, I know the ending of the show, which I’ve known for six years,” she tells TVLine. “We all knew what the ending would be. We’re going to film that this summer.”

However, the way that Beth’s storyline wraps up on the Paramount Network hit remains a mystery, even to her portrayer. “But what would I hope for her?” Reilly muses. “Peace, I think.”

The idea of artists needing a “career reboot” often has as much to do with the petulant impatience of content-saturated fans than the actual situation of the artist in question.

Brian Cox is a veteran actor known for playing powerful figures on both stage and screen. He’s a seasoned actor with a booming voice and an even bigger reputation. From his Emmy-winning portrayal of Hermann Göring to his current reign as the ruthless media mogul Logan Roy in HBO’s hit series Succession, Cox brings intensity to every role.

Before you make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best TV Movie, take a look through our photo gallery featuring the telefilms most likely to land in this year’s lineup. As it stands, Peacock’s “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” (a continuation of the eight-time Emmy-winning 2000s comedy series “Monk”) is comfortably leading the race.

“Mr. Monk’s Last Case” would be the first Peacock movie ever nominated in this category, as would “Genie” or “Shooting Stars.”

Last year, Hulu’s “Fire Island” and “Prey” were both passed over in favor of The Roku Channel’s “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” but the streamer could soon avenge those losses with “No One Will Save You,” “Quiz Lady,” or “Self Reliance.”

Netflix – which won this award for three “Black Mirror” installments (2017-2019) as well as “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square” (2021) – can now achieve its fifth victory with “Scoop” or “Unfrosted.”

The Ides of March were marked this year by a three-way race among high profile filmmakers – Peter Farrelly, Doug Liman and Guy Ritchie – with original streaming film and TV series debuts across Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. But the sleeper success story of the week belonged to Netflix’s Lindsay Lohan rom com movie “Irish Wish.”

Ritchie made a splashy debut on March 7 with Netflix’s “The Gentlemen,” an eight-episode TV heist drama delivered in the director’s signature style. In its second week, “Gentlemen” had solid hold with a modest 30% decline to 1.3 billion minutes watched during the March 15-21 frame, according to original streaming content ratings calculated by Luminate.

Dean Israelite’s coming-of-age drama film, Little Wing, follows the ups and downs of 13-year-old Kaitlyn’s life as she faces the typical teenage dramas many of us can relate to. Amidst Kaitlyn’s parents’ divorce, the teenage girl finds comfort in an unexpected companion: pigeons! In a bold move, Kaitlyn decides to steal a valuable pigeon named Granger, believing that, like the birds, everyone has a permanent home they belong to, no matter what changes life throws at them. Her goal? To save her family’s house from financial trouble. As Kaitlyn goes through these difficulties on her path, she learns some very valuable lessons about friendship and the true meaning of having a roof over the head, which we can call home.

“And what goes on beyond that?...

You’ve played Boar On The Floor. Now, get ready for The Bird Is The Word. Brian Cox, in the wake of wrapping up on Succession, is starring in coming-of-age film Little Wing, playing Jaan – a curmudgeonly pigeon-fancier from Portland, whose best bird is pilfered by Brooklynn Prince’s unruly teen Kaitlyn. Initially hoping to sell the prized pidge and fix her parents’ finances, Kaitlyn instead teams with Jaan to get the bird back. It’s a role that, inevitably, led to Cox spending much time with coo-ing co-stars – and while the age-old mantra indicates to never work with animals, they left Cox’s feathers largely un-ruffled.

“I had to interact a fair bit with the pigeons,” Cox tells Empire in the new issue. “They could be quite boisterous, but once they were in their cages, they were actually rather well-behaved. And I didn’t get shat on once.” Consider that a result.

Little Wing is a 2024 film that revolves around a little girl named Kaitlyn, played by Brooklynn Prince, whose parents recently divorced, and her mother, Maddie, portrayed by Kelly Reilly, who is about to sell their house because she can’t afford it anymore. To save the house, Maddie steals a famous pigeon named Granger from an old man called Jaan Vari, played by Brian Cox, with the intention of selling it for a significant sum. Along the way, Maddie makes some mistakes while trying to do something wrong for the right cause, feeling like she is losing control of her life, much like most teenagers do. Dive into this captivating narrative, where an extraordinary plot intertwines with a remarkable ensemble cast, guaranteeing to enrapture you from start to finish and definitely teach you a lot about pigeon habitats! Let’s dive into the cast and characters of Paramount’s Little Wing film.

Succession actor is a one of many discordant parts in this coming-of-age saga about pigeons, which are the best thing about the movie

The coming-of-age drama Little Wing opens with two facts, both quoted from the 2006 New Yorker article of the same name by Susan Orlean. The first: “Americans move, on average, every five years; pigeons almost never move.” The second: that racing pigeons “have a fixed, profound and nearly incontrovertible sense of home”.

The title card successfully imparts a few facts about the film, which premieres this week on the streaming service Paramount+. One, that Little Wing, directed by Dean Israelite from a screenplay by John Gatins, will awkwardly interweave human concerns with the very different realities of pigeons, who are indeed fascinating and the best thing about this movie. And that the film will attempt to vest such comparisons with certain deep insights about our sense of belonging and home.

“Little Wing” is a new ‘coming-of-age drama’ feature, directed by Dean Israelite, starring Brian Cox, Kelly Reilly, Brooklynn Prince, Che Tafari, Simon Khan, Lowell Deo, and Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, streaming March 13, 2024 on Paramount+:

In the fall of 2023, Taylor Sheridan's hit series Yellowstone made its CBS debut, bringing in a whole new era of fans for the neo-Western franchise. Naturally, that means Kelly Reilly was introduced to a second wave of viewers as the inimitable and irreverent lone daughter and sister of the ranching family, Beth Dutton. The actress definitely has the ability to charm, but Reilly also commands the respect of everyone around her in a male-driven, horse-raising, cattle-driving environment. Savvy veterans of Reilly's work know just how versatile and dynamic the actress is, and that has probably never been more evident than in her performance in the film Flight. As we gear up for what is sure to be another can't-miss performance by Reilly in Little Wing, it's high time to revisit her underrated performance in this powerful 2012 drama. The incredible Denzel Washington may get top billing and most of the screen time,...

But if you're intrigued by the idea of Logan Roy focusing his wrath on a school-age colleague in the world of pigeon racing, then you've come to the right place.

The Paramount+ original film Little Wing will debut on Wednesday, and we've got an exclusive clip ahead of the big premiere.

Based on a New Yorker article by the legendary Susan Orlean, Little Wing tells the story of a teenage girl who gets involved in the high-flying world of pigeon racing during a difficult time in her life.

After several wins on this year's awards circuit, Succession has finished its run on HBO, and it's safe to say that the Roys are missed. Now that he is no longer playing patriarch Logan Roy on the small screen, Brian Cox is about to embark on a new mission in the Paramount + original, Little Wing. Collider gave an exclusive first look at the forthcoming film, which is based on Susan Orlean's 2006 article for The New Yorker. It follows a teenager who learns to appreciate pigeon racing after experiencing several obstacles in her personal life. Cox will play opposite Brooklynn Prince and Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly in this project, which will premiere this March. Here is everything you need to know about Little Wing before it comes out on streaming.

"What makes them come home?" "They love their home so much, they'll die trying to get back to it." That's a bit on the nose with this story. Paramount+ has revealed an official trailer for a movie titled Little Wing, a drama based on a true story about a moody young girl struggling with her parents and their divorce. It's set to premiere streaming on Paramount+ in March, skipping theaters entirely. The story follows 13-year-old Kaitlyn, who is dragged into the world of pigeon racing while she deals with her parents' divorce and the impending loss of her home. The film is based on Susan Orlean’s 2006 New Yorker article, and centers on a teen who tries to solve her mother's financial problems by stealing a rare bird, only to become unexpected friends with its owner, a man named Jaan. Brooklynn Prince stars as Kaitlyn, with Brian Cox as Jaan,...

Warning: Spoilers for Reacher season 2 below!

Reacher season 2 stayed broadly faithful to Lee Child's Bad Luck and Trouble novel but made some key changes to the original story. The character of Detective Russo and his heroic sacrifice is a new addition, as are the 110th Special Investigators Unit flashbacks. Season 2 ends with Reacher and the 110th killing arms dealer Am, instead of leaving him for the authorities.

Amazon Prime Video's Reacher season 2 is largely faithful to the source material, but the sophomore outing still took some liberties with Lee Child's Bad Luck and Trouble. The eleventh book in the Reacher series, Bad Luck and Trouble is quite a jump from Child's debut, Killing Floor, which served as the basis for season 1. However, the focus on a story that's more personal to Alan Ritchson's Reacher and his military backstory is a welcome contrast to season 1's small-town corruption.

Corrupt bureaucracy, depraved cops, greedy business tycoons, and degenerate celebs are as recurrent in Reacher’s lore as one would generally expect from crime thrillers and mostly serve to set up conflicts or act as catalysts in the flow of the narrative. Among these varied dregs of society, crooked politicians seem to have a knack of getting in Reacher’s way more often. Perhaps Reacher’s anti-authoritarian stance acts as a magnet to draw out the rot in the system, which was highlighted in the first season with Mayor Teale of Margrave, whose partnership with the shrewd business magnate Kliner drained the suburb from within. In the second season, matching the higher stakes of the narrative, Reacher faces another hurdle in the form of Senator Malcolm Levoy. Initially an accessory in Reacher’s investigation, Levoy’s involvement with the central crisis of the Littlewing conspiracy runs deep and continues until the very end.

Warning: spoilers ahead for Reacher season 2's finale.

Swan was innocent and was actually trying to stop Langston by joining New Age as an informant. Swan was killed by Langston and his men for refusing to join forces with them. Reacher honors Swan's sacrifice by using the money he acquires from Am to help his fallen comrades' families and donate to an animal shelter, as Swan was an animal lover.

After dropping several red herrings throughout season 2, Amazon's Reacher finally reveals what happened to Swan. Swan was first introduced in Reacher season 2 as one of the former members of the 110th Special Investigations Unit. Flashbacks revealed that although Reacher had meticulously chosen his team members, Swan always had the tendency to tip off into the morally gray area. These flashbacks made him suspicious after Reacher and his team learned Swan was on New Age's payroll.

Swan's morality became one of...

Warning: Spoilers for Reacher Season 2.

The Reacher Season 2 finale delivers an explosive conclusion, filled with action and intense moments. The investigation reveals the truth about Swan's fate and his innocence in the corruption scandal. Reacher's selflessness is evident as he distributes the money to the loved ones of his fallen friends and sets off on a new journey.

The Season 2 finale of Reacher premiered Thursday night on Prime Video and did not disappoint. Picking up with a time jump of over two and a half years after the first season’s finale, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is once again traveling the country on his own without the burden of personal belongings weighing him down. That is except for a toothbrush, of course. When he receives a coded message via his bank account from Neagley (Maria Sten), he discovers their friend and former colleague, Franz (Luke Bilyk), of the 110th Special Investigators Unit,...

One of the defining features of Lee Child’s Reacher novel series is its seemingly disconnected and self-contained nature, as a significant number of the titular protagonist’s adventures take him through totally different situations and experiences without bothering readers about continuity. The makers of Amazon Prime’s TV series of the same name adhered to this principle, which is how, after adapting Child’s first entry of the series, Killing Floor, in the first season, they jumped directly to the eleventh book of the series, Bad Luck and Troubles, to build upon the second one. As an introductory chapter, the first season of Reacher revolved around the exploitation of small-town resources by a greedy conglomerate and was relatively low-key in stakes, with a personal angle introduced through the death of Jack’s brother, Joe Reacher. In comparison, the second season aimed bigger, and along with a national-scale terrorism threat...

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Reacher season 2, episode 6.

Alan Ritchson effectively brings the protagonist from Lee Child's books to life in Reacher season 2, making a spinoff series a great possibility. Neagley's emotional depth is showcased in her reaction to Russo's death, highlighting her potential for her own story as a private investigator. Neagley is the perfect candidate for a Reacher spinoff due to her established character and her capability as a private investigator.

Reacher season 2's biggest death further argues that the proposed Amazon spinoff could actually work great. Alan Ritchson brings to life the protagonist from Lee Child's famed books rather effectively. Aside from being more physically similar to the original iteration of the character as described in print, he has also nailed his mannerisms and overall vibe. That being said, a big part of the success of Reacher comes from the people he surrounds himself with. In...

Warning: Major spoilers below for Reacher season 2 episode "Burial" below!

Reacher season 2 avoided a problem with the Tom Cruise movie by revealing the events of "One Shot" happened offscreen. Episode 5 may have forgotten its "One Shot" easter egg, however, since it's not part of Reacher's record. The possibility of adapting "One Shot" in the future is still open, but the series has a wealth of other books to cover.

The latest episode of Reacher may have already contradicted its Tom Cruise movie explanation. Cruise may be one of the biggest movie stars in the world, but to fans of Jack Reacher, he was still nowhere near big enough to play the titular role in the 2012 movie. The character from Lee Child's novels is a hulking beast, but when producers had a hard time fighting the right combination of star power and physique - even passing on Dwayne Johnson -...

Warning: Major spoilers for Reacher season episode 4 below!

Reacher season 2 adapts Bad Luck and Trouble and introduces more technologically advanced villains. In episode 4, Reacher and the 110th use Google to solve a clue about a Jimi Hendrix track. Technology has changed the way most thrillers play out, making traditional detective work less cinematic.

The latest episode of Reacher reveals another way technology has taken some of the fun out of thrillers. Jack Reacher made his literary debut in 1998's Killing Floor, with the book's surprise success leading to a bestselling series. Reacher himself is defiantly old-school; he doesn't carry a phone, use the internet, or have anything resembling a presence online. His only real possession is his foldable toothbrush. Of course, the world has changed quite dramatically since the late '90s, so the books have had to reflect that too.

Reacher season 1 adapted Killing Floor, and while some changes...

Warning: Major spoilers for Reacher season 2 episode "A Night at the Symphony" below!

Reacher season 2's villains are on a whole new level compared to season 1, with a terrorist arms dealer and the head of a defense contractor as the primary antagonists. The stakes in season 2 are much higher, as the villains are developing a software called "Little Wing" that can shoot down commercial flights. Despite the danger, Reacher seems to underestimate his enemies and is solely focused on revenge, which may put him and his team in grave danger.

Reacher season 2's villains have upped the stakes dramatically from the first series. Reacher season 1 adapted Killing Floor, where the titular character arrives in the small town of Margrave following his brother Joe's murder. After Reacher does some digging, he discovers a money counterfeiting operation is being carried out in Margrave, and in both the novel and Amazon's adaptation, he burns it to the ground.

Warning: Major spoilers for Reacher season episode 4 below!

Reacher season 2 reveals that "Little Wing" is an experimental anti-missile technology that can knock anything out of the sky. Langston is planning to sell "Little Wing" equipped missiles to Am, who will supply them to terrorist organizations. Reacher and the Special Investigators are formulating a plan to stop the sale by keeping the missiles out of Am's hands.

Reacher's latest episode just clarified what "Little Wing" actually does - and it raises the stakes in a major way. At their core, the Jack Reacher books are murder mysteries. It just so happens that instead of resembling Sherlock Holmes or Poirot, the protagonist is shaped like Dolph Lundgren. The first season of Amazon's Reacher started from the beginning of the Lee Child novels by adapting Killing Floor.

The last character viewers were expecting to see just appeared in the latest episode of Reacher, confirming the show is making a major break from the novels. Reacher season 1 adapted author Lee Child's Killing Floor, but the new series has leaped ahead to novel 11, Bad Luck and Trouble. Fan favorite Neagley (Maria Sten) returns alongside the titular character, as they reunite with their army unit to investigate the murder of an old friend.
