Academy Award® winner Brendan Fraser has been cast in ‘Pressure,’ joining the recently announced Andrew Scott in the role of Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg.

Fraser takes on the role of Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In the seventy-two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element – the British weather. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on.

With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser).

The Brenaissance continues.

Brendan Fraser, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Darren Aronofsky’s 2022 film “The Whale,” has landed his next hefty role. Deadline reports that Fraser has been cast to play Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in director Anthony Maras’ upcoming D-Day film “Pressure.”

“Pressure” is a tense historical drama that tells the story of meteorologist James Stagg, played by “Ripley” star Andrew Scott, who is tasked with monitoring weather conditions ahead of the Normandy landing. The decision that Eisenhower makes based on the information Stagg gives him could be the difference between life and death for an unimaginable number of people. So the title has a double meaning.

Here’s the official synopsis from studios Working Title and Studiocanal: “In the 72 hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element — the British weather. Britain’s Chief...

Andrew Scott will play the lead in Anthony Maras’ Pressure, based on David Haig’s play. More on the project below.

What a year for weather-related films. Twisters is now in cinemas and Pressure, which follows Britain’s chief meteorologist, about to deliver the most important weather report of his life. Fresh off an Emmy nomination for his work in Ripley, Andrew Scott has been announced as the lead in the film which will be directed by Anthony Maras.

Pressure is heading into production in the UK in September. The film is based on true events as it follows Scott’s character James Stagg in the three days leading up to D-Day. Maras has co-written the script with David Haig, based on Haig’s acclaimed play of the same name.

No news on who might join Scott in the film, but with production starting in just a couple of months,...

Haig is also a prolific playwright, however. He penned the 2004 play My Boy Jack, about Rudyard Kipling’s son fighting in the first World War. He adapted into a television film in 2007, in which he also starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Kim Cattrall.

Pressure premiered in 2018.

Why Is Tom Joyner in A Wheelchair? Cruise Host's Health Condition Explored - Main Image

Why is cruise host Tom Joyner in a wheelchair? When his 24th cruise shipped off, fans can't help but notice he is now in a wheelchair. What happened to him?

Tom Joyner is in a Wheelchair During His 24th Cruise Launch

Former American radio personality Thomas Joyner had recently launched his 24th Cruise for Fantastic Voyage, which sailed from Miami, Florida on April 27 this year.

After retiring from his The Tom Joyner Morning Show in 2019, Joyner has dedicated his career to marketing cruises for Black people, because, as he previously said, "Black people didn't do cruise ships for good reason. But the main reason then was because they weren't invited."

Horace Ové’s masterpiece “Pressure” is getting the spotlight treatment courtesy of Janus Films and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (Bam).

“Pressure” will screen for two weeks as part of the museum’s ode to Black British cinema. The program, titled “Uncharted Territories: Black Britain on Film, 1963-1986” will take place from May 3 through 7, leading up to the new 4K restoration of “Pressure,” widely regarded as the first Black British narrative feature film.

“Uncharted Territories” features rarely screened work from filmmakers of African and Caribbean heritage based in Britain. The series includes “Burning an Illusion,” directed by Menelik Shabazz (1981), John Akomfrah’s “Handsworth Songs” (1986), “Territories” directed by Isaac Julien (1984), and more. The festival is programmed by Ashley Clark.

Screenings of “Pressure” begin May 10 and will continue through May 23. Herbert Norville, Oscar James, and Frank Singuineau star in the feature that follows a London-born teen (Norville), who is the son of Trinidadian parents.

5lbs of Pressure stars Luke Evans as a recently paroled murderer attempting to reconnect with his lost son. His return home to Brooklyn sparks a spiraling series of deadly events as local criminals seek retribution. Alex Pettyfer co-stars as Leff, a dangerous crime lord with a short leash on his lackey nephew, Mike (Rory Culkin), an inept rock star wannabe. The film focuses on families in crisis as differing agendas lead to a violent outcome.

Pettyfer spoke warmly of Culkin, "Rory is a genius actor. Some of the work that we did was life-changing for me. That comes down to a partner in your scene that kind of pushes you. I would do anything for him." He also compliments director Phil Allocco's script as "immaculate" with "key messages of redemption and acceptance." Pettyfer calls the film's characters "a**holes" on a "surface level," but once you "unravel these layers...

Machine Gun Kelly has shown off a massive blackout tattoo he apparently got “for spiritual purposes only.”

The rapper-turned-pop punk singer debuted the painful-looking ink on his Instagram. The all-black tattoo covers the top half of his upper body, forming around a cross that runs from his chest to his abdomen.

On her own Instagram page, the tattoo artist Roxx called Mgk one of her toughest clients for undergoing the process. “Made some art with @machinegunkelly,” she wrote. “Never met a tougher one.” In the comments, Mgk replied, “thanks for the joy and the pain.”

In an interview with TMZ, Roxx said they started doing six-hour sessions at her LA studio back in mid-December. After 13 sessions, there’s still work to be done to finish the project.

This past October, Mgk’s town hall during the Forbes Under 30 Summit was derailed when an audience member stormed the stage. This came...

British filmmaker Horace Ové, known for his groundbreaking work, passed away at 86. His film "Pressure" explored themes of identity and racism. Ové, born in Trinidad, documented London's counterculture and Black Power movement, capturing influential figures such as James Baldwin. Ové's legacy has influenced Black British cinema, and a documentary on his life and works will be released in November.

It was announced yesterday that British filmmaker Horace Ové, best known for being the first British filmmaker of African descent to direct a feature-length film in the UK, has sadly passed away at the age of 86. Zak Ové, one of Ové’s children, announced his father's death on Facebook (via Variety).

"Our loving father Horace, took his last breath at 4.30 this morning, while sleeping peacefully. I hope his spirit is free now after many years of suffering with Alzheimer’s. You are forever missed, and forever loved. Rest in Peace Pops,...

Director Horace Ové, who directed “Pressure” — the first full-length Black British movie — has died at the age of 86. His death was confirmed by his son, Zak, who wrote on Facebook Saturday, “Our loving father Horace, took his last breath at 4.30 this morning, while sleeping peacefully.”

He continued, “I hope his spirit is free now after many years of suffering with Alzheimer’s. You are forever missed, and forever loved. Rest in Peace Pops, and thank you for everything.”

Ové was born in Trinidad and moved to London in 1960. He also spent time living in Rome, where he worked as an extra before returning to the United Kingdom in 1965. As a photographer, he captured portraits of some of the foremost leaders of the British Black Power movement, including Michael X, Darcus Howe and Stokely Carmichael.

His transition into filmmaking happened at the same time, first with the short “The Art of...

Director who examined life in multicultural Britain in pioneering films such as Pressure, a defining work of black British cinema

Horace Ové, who has died aged 86, was the groundbreaking director of Pressure, the first full-length black British feature film, in 1975. Its release was delayed for several years by its backers at the British Film Institute, who feared that the scenes of police brutality might prove incendiary.

The picture charts with patience and fastidiousness the gradual political awakening of Anthony (Herbert Norville), an amiable African-Caribbean school-leaver. Living in west London with his traditionalist parents, he is torn between his white former classmates, who are getting on in a job market that is openly hostile to him, and his militant older brother, who castigates him for failing to adopt the black struggle as his own. It was a conflict that Ové, who arrived in Britain from Trinidad in 1960, knew only too well.

Horace Ové, director of “Pressure” (1976), the first full-length Black British film, died on Sept. 16. He was 86.

Ové’s son Zak posted on Facebook: “Our loving father Horace, took his last breath at 4.30 this morning, while sleeping peacefully. I hope his spirit is free now after many years of suffering with Alzheimer’s. You are forever missed, and forever loved. Rest in Peace Pops, and thank you for everything.”

Born in Trinidad in 1936, Ové’s moved to London in 1960 to study interior design. A stint in Rome, during which he worked as a film extra including on Joseph Mankiewicz’s “Cleopatra” (1963), he was exposed to the work of Federico Fellini and Vittorio De Sica, who would become infuences. He returned to Britain in 1965 and covered social and political events in the country while being a student at the London Film School. During the 1960s and 1970s he was one of the...

Big Brother 25 could potentially bring back evicted pre-jury players who weren't sequested, similar to the Big Brother 3 jury that voted against Danielle Reyes. The show has already referenced Danielle's loss and brought back past players. The addition of a pre-jury Battle Back would inject new life into Big Brother 25 and shake up the house dynamics, as the returning player would know everything that has happened so far.

Big Brother 25 has revealed some key information to its evicted pre-jury players so far, making a Battle Back seem impossible, but the show could still bring someone back with a big twist that would throw back to Big Brother legend Danielle Reyes' season 3 loss. Danielle is regarded as one of the best players in the history of the game, but she lost because, during season 3, the jury, which consisted of every evicted houseguest, wasn't sequestered. Danielle's biting commentary in her diary room...

Cameron's win in the Power of Veto competition is a game-changer, giving him safety for the week. The houseguests are divided on who the replacement nominee should be, with different strategies being suggested by Cirie, Izzy, Mecole, and Felicia. Jared, as the current Hoh, faces a difficult decision in choosing the replacement nominee.

The Big Brother 25 week 5 Power of Veto competition has been played, and its winner is nominee Cameron Hardin. Cameron was nominated for eviction next to his closest ally, Red Utley, by current Head of Household (Hoh) Jared Fields. Cameron was Jared's main target this week, but now things have once again shifted. Cameron had gone from winning Hoh after 13 hours and 49 minutes in the Pressure Cooker to having both of his nominees, Jag Bains and Blue Kim, stay in the house after Matt Klotz used the Power of Invincibility on Jag.

Heading into this week’s Veto episode of “Big Brother 25,” Cameron Hardin had just gone from being on the block twice to relaxing in the Head of Household room. He won the fan-fave Pressure Cooker competition by holding his button for nearly 14 hours, after making a deal with America Lopez that she and Cory Wurtenberger would be safe this week. Later, Cameron nominated Jag Bains (who was still wearing his chicken costume) and Blue Kim for eviction, but the Power of Veto still could be used to save one of them on Wednesday night.

Red chose not to use the Power of Veto, sticking to Cameron's plan to evict Jag and not backdoor Izzy. Cirie and her allies are considering evicting Blue. There is a Power of Invincibility in play that could save Jag or Blue from eviction, depending on who wins.

The Big Brother 25 Power of Veto ceremony has occurred and veto winner Red Utley chose not to use it to save one of the nominees, Jag Bains or Blue Kim, from eviction. This week, Cameron Hardin became the Head of Household (Hoh) after winning the Pressure Cooker competition after holding his button for an astonishing 13 hours and 49 minutes. He was able to keep all of the power when his closest ally, Red, won the veto. Cameron stuck to his word to Pressure Cooker runner-up America Lopez, and kept their deal not to nominate her or Cory Wurtenberger for eviction.

America Lopez, a Big Brother 25 houseguest, has proven to be a strong physical and mental competitor right from the beginning. America's most impressive achievement so far was placing second in the grueling Pressure Cooker Head of Household competition, lasting 13 hours and 49 minutes. America is a 27-year-old receptionist from Edinburg, Texas, and a first-generation American with Mexican immigrant parents. She graduated from Brown University with a biology degree.

Big Brother 25 houseguest and self-described superfan America Lopez had a strong start to the season when she won the very first competition that came from the Scramble-verse. The houseguests had to disassemble a completed puzzle and fit the pieces perfectly in the box they came in. She proved from the first competition that she's a strong physical and mental competitor. America was calm and logical, and solved the puzzle far ahead of her fellow competitors.

Following the unanimous eviction of Hisam Goueli from “Big Brother 25,” the remaining players (not counting outgoing Head of Household Felicia Cannon) all began the endurance comp to end all endurance comps: the Pressure Cooker. The winner of this fan-favorite challenge would be given the power to nominate two contestants for elimination, and all they had to do was hold a red button longer than their competitors. Sounds easy, right? So who won the Pressure Cooker Hoh competition on Sunday night?

Julie Chen Moonves once again hosts the guilty pleasure series.

Hisam Goueli reveals he would've stayed loyal to The Professors alliance if they saved him, despite being devastated when they came up with the backdoor plan. Hisam would consider playing Big Brother again, but acknowledges it's a tough game that requires sacrifice and will depend on where he is in his life. Despite being a strong competitor, Hisam's social game was lacking, which led to him being seen as a villain of sorts and ultimately losing the trust of his alliance.

When Big Brother 25 houseguest Hisam Goueli became Felicia Cannon's backdoor target, he promised that if she and The Professors saved him, that he'd be loyal to them until the end, and he now reveals if he would've stayed true to his word.

Big Brother 25 will feature the iconic Pressure Cooker competition, a tribute to the show's rich history. The Pressure Cooker is an endurance competition in which houseguests must hold a button for as long as possible. The competition gained legendary status during Big Brother 6 when it lasted almost 14 hours and led to a memorable betrayal.

Big Brother 25 host Julie Chen Moonves announced that the Pressure Cooker competition will return on the Thursday, August 24 episode, and it's one of the most legendary competitions in the show's history.

While Geoffrey was primarily used for humor in Fresh Prince, the Geoffrey Bel-Air character sees his saddest storyline returning in the reboot. Bel-Air’s version of Geoffrey is wildly different from Fresh Prince’s butler, beginning with the fact that he’s no longer a “butler” per se. Bel-Air’s Geoffrey is now the Banks’ “house manager,” though the twist on his character makes him more of a fixer for Phil, which oftentimes means bending the law or going on secret missions. The emotional depth and complexity of Geoffrey in Bel-Air are far different from Fresh Prince, so it makes sense that the reboot includes one of the original character’s saddest storylines.

Bel-Air season 1, episode 8 is primarily concerned with the conflict between Will and his father, Lou, but sees the Geoffrey Bel-Air character in a pickle. Geoffrey makes a comment about having a son, and it's a callback...

But while it has made sense to combine some characters and their abilities from the comics or invent new ones altogether, there are still some powers yet to hit the silver screen which could be very interesting to incorporate into the show’s dynamics.

AGC Studios has released the exclusive first-look image from its supernatural thriller Consecration ahead of the launch of sales in Cannes.

Stuart Ford and the AGC International sales team will show footage at an invitation-only buyer event from the latest genre title by Christopher Smith, the director of The Banishing, Detour and Severance who co-wrote Consecration with Laurie Cook.

The film stars Jena Malone, Danny Huston and Janet Suzman and takes place in Scotland, where Grace goes to the Mount Saviour Convent to learn more about the suspicious death of her priest brother.

Some of the U.K. entertainment industry’s best-known names have been awarded the country’s highest honors by the Queen.

Outgoing James Bond star Daniel Craig was honored alongside longtime Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson (pictured above with Craig) on the Queen’s New Year Honours list.

Craig, who lives in the U.S., was honored on the ‘overseas and international list’ making him a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (Cmg) — the very same honor the fictional 007 holds in the books. Craig was awarded his Cmg for services to film and theater.

Broccoli and Wilson, meanwhile, were awarded CBEs (which stands for Commanders of the Order of the British Empire) for services to film, drama, philanthropy and skills alongside director Paul Greengrass (“Bourne” trilogy), who received his for services to the arts, and author Anthony Horowitz (the “Alex Rider” series) for services to literature.

Following her reported arrest in Amsterdam, R&b singer Ari Lennox has finally shared a new update on her status after an alleged racial-profiling incident. "Hey loves I'm safe," she tweeted on Dec. 1. "Thank you so much for your prayers and love." The Shea Butter Baby singer tweeted on Nov. 29 that she was profiled by Amsterdam's airport security, writing, "F*ck Amsterdam security. They hate black people."

Ari announced her arrival in Amsterdam early on Monday before her series of tweets began. A Twitter user took screenshots of her other tweets before they were deleted, in which she said, "Wow Amsterdam I'm horrified. I was so happy to travel and this evil woman . . .

Six years ago director Robert Eggers released his debut movie The Witch, and it is fair to say it received quite a reception, which is why it led to there being talk of the industry newcomer taking on a remake of the "original Dracula" movie, Nosferatu. While it isn't strange for a still wet-behind-the-ears filmmaker to be looking to make their name with a remake of an already famous movie, that was not the case with Eggers, who from the start was immensely passionate about the movie and the idea of bringing it to life in a new way. However, despite star of The Witch Anya Taylor-Joy being in talks to star at one point there has been nothing else mentioned about it. Until Now, it seems.

Anya Taylor-Joy was featured in a profile piece in The Los Angeles Times, and mixed in with her other upcoming roles was a...

London punk outfit Chubby and the Gang have released a new song, “Coming Up Tough,” from their upcoming second album, The Mutt’s Nuts, out August 27th via Partisan Records.

With a bruising bass chug and razors edge guitar riff, “Coming Up Tough” finds Walker railing against a criminal justice system that has no interest in actual rehabilitation. The song was inspired by the experience of a family member who, at a young age, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. On the track’s sing-along hook, Walker bellows, “How can...

UK Screen Industries Survey Highlights Socio-Economic Imbalance

A new survey has found that the majority of people working in the UK’s screen industries are from a background that is classified as ‘privileged’. The survey, conducted by the Creative Industries Policy & Evidence Centre and backed by ScreenSkills, analyzed data from the latest edition of the Office for National Statistics’ Labour Force Survey in 2019. Their research found that 53% of those surveyed from the screen industries, including the film, TV and games businesses, were from a privileged background. Looking specifically at the careers of key creative roles, specified here as arts officers, producers and directors, the number rose to 61%. That was in comparison with 38% across all industries. The definition of having a privileged background is those who had at least one parent whose job was a higher or lower managerial, administrative or professional occupation. In contrast, the screen industries employed only 25% from a ‘working class’ background,...

Drake album roll-outs have a certain ritual to them, one that involves Drizzy shedding himself of stray thoughts in the form of a mixtape or an EP. This almost always seems to involve Rick Ross. Last week he released Scary Hours 2, the second installment of his album-stalling series of EPs. While the project’s overall formula is by now familiar — Drake admirably tries on some modern rap styles; Drake invites a rising young rapper to go nuts on a beat; Drake and Rick Ross talk about the finer things in...

Conspiracao, Brazil’s multi-Emmy nominated powerhouse indie, is poised to make “Pas de Deux,” a drama series about Bethania Gomes, the first Brazilian prima ballerina of the Harlem Dance Theatre and a current dance instructor there.

Story pivots around the relationship and lives of Gomes and her mother Maria Beatriz Nascimento, a controversial historian and forerunner of the Black feminist movement of ‘70s Brazil who was killed for intervening in a friend’s domestic dispute.

The series could not be more timely given the Black Rights Matter movement that begun in the U.S. and sparked similar protests across the globe.

“Brazil is still very racist even though Blacks comprise around 50% of our population,” said Juliana Capelini, Conspiracao’s Kids & Family executive director who serves as executive producer along with the company’s head of international, Ramona Bakker. It is telling that the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Theater Ballet has...

No bad blood here. Kacey Musgraves is still a fan of her estranged husband's, despite the fact that the two recently announced their divorce.

"This song, y'all," she quote tweeted on Saturday morning, alongside the emoji that has a half-smiley face and half-opened eyes. "u convinced me to," Ruston replied with a black heart emoji.
