However, there are other performances on the show that have often been overlooked. And one of them is Chace Crawford’s The Deep, an aquatic superhero in Homelander’s team who is often ridiculed for his fish-like abilities.
Fans are just beginning to notice how amazingly the actor deals with the psychological issues along with the humiliation the character faces in almost every episode.

In the midst of The Avengers frenzy in the MCU, James Gunn introduced a new superhero ensemble with the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy starring actors like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, and Dave Bautista among others.

However, bringing an ensemble cast for the movie proved to be challenging for the filmmaker, especially after Pratt became the first actor to join the movie as Star-Lord, a character he would embody for almost a decade.

Chris Pratt, known for portraying Star-Lord in the MCU for the past decade, had to face tough competition from several actors for the part. However, after a brief meeting with the film’s director, he was able to get a hold of what Gunn was looking for.

Marvel Studios, back in 2014, leaped into its most ambitious and cash-guzzling gamble yet as James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy rolled out and played on the big screens. Consisting of a rag-tag group that even had a talking raccoon and a tree life-form, the movie brought about surprising success and kick-started one of the most iconic MCU franchises.
Riding on a unique mix of humor, grit, and a plot that took audiences across every nook and cranny of deep space, the mega project initially set off a bigger quest for landing its actors.

In a scene worthy of one of his animated works, Terry Gillam took to a stage covered in crashed paper planes at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Sunday to receive its honorary Cristal award and give a masterclass about his animated works.
Gilliam was last in Annecy, where its audience has a tradition of bombarding the stage with paper planes, in 1975 with Miracle of Flight. The anarchic comedy about mankind’s different attempts to fly debuted in the shorts competition but did not win a prize.
“Do you know how long it’s taken me to get this f**king award… They’ve finally let me in… I think they know I might not be around next year,” joked the director as he received the trophy.

Nearly a lifetime ago, in 1975, Terry Gilliam submitted his five-minute short film “Miracle of Flight” to the Annecy Animation Festival in France.
An absurdist gem about homo sapiens’ disastrous desire to take to the skies — using the same cut-out technique made famous by the irreverent interstitials and opening credits Gilliam designed for the British sketch comedy series “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” — the film screened, but won no prizes.
Suddenly, half a century later (as “Miracle of Flight” might put it), Annecy corrected the oversight by awarding Gilliam an Honorary Cristal. Turns out, it’s a much nicer trophy — considerably bigger and far easier to dust — awarded in appreciation of lifetime achievement in the field.
“Can you believe how long it has taken me to get this fucking award?” Gilliam joked in mock outrage. “I think they know I might not be around next year.” But the director of “Time Bandits,...

According to industry insider reports, Warner Bros. is purposefully dumping its highly anticipated Bong Joon-ho project, Mickey 17. Earlier this year, reports emerged that the film was delayed to January 2025 in favor of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. However, the new reports tell a different story; that of a creative difference between Bong and the studio.

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn famously cast Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the Marvel feature . But Gunn confided that Pratt’s size at the time presented a problem when he had to cast the rest of the movie.

Pratt managed to snag his Guardians of the Galaxy role after a lengthy audition process that saw him competing with several actors. But initially, Pratt doubted he’d get the part. He tested for Marvel movies before like Thor, and the constant rejection left him a bit jaded. However, Pratt recognized that Marvel was having more than a tough time finding their Star-Lord.
“I was circling around it for a long time, and they kept testing people and testing people, and no one was right for it,” Pratt once told MTV News.

It’s been a long time coming, but a reboot of the 1994 cult classic film The Crow (which was based on the comic book series created by James O’Barr) will finally be making its way out into the world on August 23rd, which is when Lionsgate will be giving the film a theatrical release. With that release date swiftly approaching, we figured we should gather together all the information we have on this movie… and here it is, Everything We Know About The Crow 2024:
Not A Remake
Lionsgate has informed us that this new version of The Crow, which we have previously been referring to as a remake, is not to be called a remake. Rather, the film is to be referred to as “a new adaptation of the comic book.” They have also revealed that the tragic characters at the heart of the story are not named Eric Draven and Shelly Webster,...

Terry Gilliam is settling up his next project, and it sounds like a doozy. The Carnival at the End of Days will be a comedy in which God decides to wipe out humanity, and the only one who wants to save them is Satan, who will be played by none other than Johnny Depp.
Gilliam first pitched the idea last year, but he dropped a little more information about the project while speaking with Première at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival last month. In addition to Johnny Depp as Satan, The Carnival at the End of Days will also star Jeff Bridges as God alongside Adam Driver and Jason Momoa.
“[Jeff Bridges] will not be the God we are accustomed to,” Gilliam explained. “In the film, God is nature. But a nature that can speak to you. I’m going to need animation to bring him life, because in the scene with God,...

Terry Gilliam hasn’t shot a movie since 2018’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” a film that took him nearly 30 years to make. So let’s call the seven years between that movie and Gilliam’s upcoming “The Carnival At The End Of Days” a well-deserved break. The British filmmaker plans to shoot the new film this year, and Premiere reports it has quite the cast attached to it, led by none other than disgraced actor Johnny Depp.

Jason Momoa was recently cast in the hit sci-fi series Dune. But the fact that he’d gotten a spot in such a highly coveted movie gave Momoa a bit of imposter syndrome.

Momoa was a part of an ensemble cast of actors who starred in the Denis Villeneuve film adaptation. But initially, he was just excited about working with Villeneuve himself, regardless of the movie. The actor recalled in an interview with IndieWire how he ended up cast as Duncan Idaho.
“I got a call from my agent literally on top of a mountain, and I was shocked, and he was like, ‘Denis Villeneuve wants to talk to you right now,'” Momoa recalled. “I thought it was a prank. He said, ‘He wants to talk to you right now.

The film world is buzzing with both excitement and skepticism about Tinseltown’s beloved Johnny Depp’s forthcoming film, The Carnival at the End of Days. Fresh off the stir of his highly publicized court proceedings, the actor, 60, is set to embody a character as enigmatic as Satan in the Terry Gilliam-helmed flick.
So, The Carnival at the End of Days, which will also feature God, Adam, and Eve, is billed as an apocalyptic comedy by The Fisher King director. Also, note that this will be Depp’s re-entry into big-budget cinema after he settled his widely reported defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, two years ago.

Though there are mixed feelings among viewers regarding expectations and disdain for Depp’s flick, its ensemble cast—which includes notable actors like Jeff Bridges, Adam Driver, and Jason Momoa—may redefine the comedy genre.

A Family Feud contestant’s answer at the podium had host Steve Harvey and viewers in complete shock.
Steve Harvey is accustomed to hearing some wild answers from contestants, but Jarrell McCullough’s answer was one of the most unhinged in recent episodes.
Jarrell faced off against Jenny from the Kleid family at the podium when Steve asked a risque question to the opponents.
“You know you shouldn’t, but name someone you have sexy dreams about,” Steve proposed to Jarrell and Jenny.
Jarrell was the first to tap his buzzer, and when it came time to deliver his survey answer, he told Steve, “My aunt.”
The audience was stunned for a second, as was Steve, who stared blankly at Jarrell, trying to make sense of his answer.

Terry Gilliam adds Johnny Depp and Jeff Bridges to the cast of The Carnival At The End Of Days. More on the story here.
It’s been 2018 since Terry Gilliam (finally) released his long-cherished film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, after a prolonged – and then some – time trying to get the thing off the ground. The story of that particular production has been well told, not least in part by the superb documentary Lost In La Mancha, and since then, Gilliam has directed a stage production of Into The Woods, and has been noodling his next film.
It’s increasingly looking like that film will be The Carnival At The End Of Days, which he’s been talking about for several months now. It’s a story that sees Satan off in search of new humans to put before God as a new Adam and Eve. Gilliam’s not been shy of upsetting people,...

Johnny Depp, Jeff Bridges, Adam Driver, and Jason Momoa are set to star in a new movie directed by Terry Gilliam, titled The Carnival at the End of Days.
The news was confirmed by Gilliam himself in a recent interview with the French publication Premiere, in which he explained the premise of the film. “God decides to destroy humanity, and the only one trying to save us is Satan because he needs people in hell, otherwise he won’t have a job for eternity,” he said. Depp and Bridges are set to play Satan and God, respectively.
“It will be very funny for those who like to be offended,” Gilliam said. Elsewhere, he expanded on what he has in mind for Bridge’s God character. “He will not be the God we are used to,” he said. “In the film, God is nature, but a nature that can talk to you.

After introducing Jason Momoa’s new villain Dante Reyes in Fast X, Diesel is looking to finish his story in Fast 11 — which is also supposed to be the grand finale of the entire F&f franchise.
But as we all know, the Hollywood strikes of 2023 seriously altered many production schedules, and Fast 11 was among them… Or was it?

Neben einer Reihe weiterer, zum Teil fest erwarteter Titel bestätigt Variety, dass „Joker: Folie A Deux“ bereits fix ist für die diesjährige 81. Mostra in Venedig. Der Vorgänger, „Joker“, konnte 2019 den Goldenen Löwen gewinnen. Außerdem ausgewählt sind wohl bereits neue Arbeiten von Luca Guadagnino, Pablo Larraín, Julian Schnabel, Johnny Depp und Jon Watts.
Nach Cannes ist vor Venedig. Gerade einmal wurden die Palmen vergeben, richtet man den Blick bereits an das zweite ganz große europäische A-Festival, das aktuell von Alberto Barbera zusammengestellt wird: Die 81. Mostra in Venedig findet vom 28. August bis 7. September auf dem Lido statt. Über viele Titel wird seit Längerem spekuliert. Nun soll es laut Variety erste Entscheidungen geben.
Wenig überraschend ist die Einladung von „Joker: Folie A Deux“ von Todd Phillips mit Joaquin Phoenixund Lady Gaga. Der erste Teil hatte 2019 unerwartet aber nicht unverdient von der Jury unter der damaligen Präsidentin Lucrecia Martel den Goldenen Löwen als bester...

Netflix is developing a new animated series based on the hugely popular Minecraft sandbox game. Few details are known, but according to Netflix, the series “will feature an original story with new characters that shows the Minecraft world in a new light.”
The announcement comes on the 15th anniversary of the video game.
In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, pixelated, procedurally generated, three-dimensional world with virtually infinite terrain. Players can discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and machines. Depending on game mode, players can fight hostile mobs, as well as cooperate with or compete against other players in the same world.
Netflix will co-produce the CG-animated series with Mojang Studios, the Swedish developer of the game.
Canadian animation studio WildBrain will handle animation.
A Minecraft feature film also is in the works. Directed by Jared Hess...

The upcoming Venice Film Festival is shaping up to be a star-studded affair with Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Gal Gadot and Ana de Armas among top Hollywood talents likely to be launching high-profile titles from the Lido.
Though festival chief Alberto Barbera has yet to see several submitted works that are likely to make the cut, a clutch of globally buzzy movies have already secured a coveted Venice berth, though some of the more mainstream entries will probably be bowing out-of-competition.
“Joker 2: Folie à Deux,” Todd Phillips’ edgy musical sequel to his 2019 Golden Lion prizewinning “Joker,” starring Gaga and Phoenix, is a competition shoo-in, along with Pablo Larraín’s Maria Callas biopic “Maria,” starring Jolie in the title role.

It’s recently been reported that the freeform game of Minecraft will be adapted into a feature film. The movie is set to be an animated adaptation with an impressive voice cast that features Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, Jermaine Clement, and Emma Myers signed on. The movie is directed by Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess.

At one point, Steve Carell was linked to a voice role.

Just Cause movie is back in action as Blue Beetle director Ángel Manuel Soto has been tapped to helm
A movie based on the Just Cause video game franchise has been in the works for years, but it’s gotten back on track with a new director at the helm. Ángel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle) is set to direct the adaptation for Universal Pictures, with David Leitch and Kelly McCormick producing through their 87North banner.
Just Cause puts you in the shoes of Rico Rodriguez, a secret operative who is deployed to various fictional island nations to help overthrow tyrannical dictators who are backed by The Black Hand, a lethal mercenary group. With a variety of gadgets, such as a grappling hook and wingsuit, Rico zips, races, and shoots his way through various missions, which typically involve over-the-top explosives and creative stunts. It’s a lot of fun.
Created by Avalanche Studios, the first Just Cause game was released in 2006, followed by Just Cause 2 in 2010, Just Cause 3 in 2015, and...

A long-awaited video game adaptation now has new life. Universal Pictures has officially boarded the "Just Cause" movie, and the studio has some impressive talent behind the camera to make the project a reality. That starts with director Ángel Manuel Soto, best known for directing the DC superhero movie "Blue Beetle." The project has also added "The Fall Guy" director David Leitch and his producing partner (and wife) Kelly McCormick on board as producers with their company, 87North.
Universal has a longstanding relationship with Leitch, as the filmmaker made "Hobbs & Shaw" for the studio before stepping behind the camera for "The Fall Guy." He also very nearly directed the new "Jurassic World" film before Gareth Edwards took over. 87North has a first-look deal with the studio, so this partnership makes sense. Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson are also on board as producers. As for Soto,...

When Welcome to Derry was announced, Bill Skarsgård initially stressed that he wasn’t involved with the production at the time, which will see Andy Muschietti return as one of its directors. The actor, who rose to prominence following his portrayal of the dancing clown, even lent advice on how an actor should approach the role if the prequel chooses to bring in a new actor for Pennywise.
However, following his new interview, in which the actor doesn’t rule out the idea of playing the clown again, fans are excited by the concept of Skarsgård potentially returning to the role.

The cape was once the kingmaker. But the movie stars at the top of studios’ most-wanted lists today have largely avoided cinematic universes. Instead of being pulled up to the A-list with a call from Marvel or DC (like earlier breakouts Chris Evans, Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa), today’s top talents — according to THR’s survey of executives, managers and agents — were anointed by auteur directors. Austin Butler was tapped by Baz Luhrmann for Elvis, while Denis Villeneuve gave nearly a third of this list their first franchise movie with his Dune features.
Today’s young stars are also less formulaic than their predecessors of just a decade ago, whose indie debuts or tiny Oscar turns were quickly followed by IP-backed film series. They are more agnostic, too, moving easily among studio filmmaking, indie efforts and television. Unlike past eras, there’s also not a single “type” dominating the group.

Saturday Night Live wrapped up its 49th season last week with one of its strongest recent episodes, thanks in large part to (third time) host Jake Gyllenhaal. So it’s hardly surprising that the Road House actor’s name is among those that have been submitted for Emmy consideration in the Outstanding Guest Actor In a Comedy Series category. But he’s far from the only recent host whose name is in the mix.
On Tuesday, Variety reported that at least 17 of the 20 individuals who hosted SNL this season have been submitted for Emmy consideration. If that seems like a lot of people competing for the same awards, that’s because it is: it’s the highest number of hosts to submit in the past five years.

You may want to take LateNighter’s Saturday Night Live screen time reports for Sarah Sherman with a grain of salt, since some of her time this season could be attributed to a recurring guest star: her fake severed head.
As Sherman pointed out in an Instagram post this week, she was decapitated twice on the show this season.
In the post, (the real) Sherman can be seen posing alongside the model of her head. Also included is a photo of the prop head atop the muscular torso she wore in this season’s “Gym Call” sketch (alongside a photobomb by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog).
Sherman’s first beheading came in a pre-taped sketch last November with host Jason Momoa, who knocked off the head of Sherman’s tennis player character Charna Lee Diamond with a particularly strong serve.

This post contains spoilers for "Dune."
In Frank Herbert's "Dune," Mentat Thufir Hawat, the Master of Assassins for House Atreides, trains heir-to-the-throne Paul Atreides in the ways of military strategy and political maneuvering. Exceedingly gifted and cunning, Thufir emerges as an asset for the Atreides, especially during their takeover of Arrakis, the coveted Spice-rich desert planet that the people of Caladan knew very little about. Although Hawat's abilities are tested to the limits after the Atreides find themselves under attack, he successfully orchestrates a raid on Giedi Prime on Duke Leto's orders, striking the Harkonnens where it hurt the most by destroying their illegal spice reserves.
In Denis Villeneuve's "Dune," Stephen McKinley Henderson embodies the role of Thufir with equal parts panache and integrity, sporting a deeply intelligent gaze that turns milky-grey when he channels his abilities, along with a fashionable parasol to beat the heat on Arrakis.

Exceedingly gifted and cunning, Thufir emerges as an asset for the Atreides, especially during their takeover of Arrakis, the coveted Spice-rich desert planet that the people of Caladan knew very little about. Although Hawat's abilities are tested to the limits after the Atreides find themselves under attack, he successfully orchestrates a raid on Giedi Prime on Duke Leto's orders, striking the Harkonnens where it hurt the most by destroying their illegal spice reserves.

Pawn Stars, that fantastic show where people take their items to Rick Harrison’s pawn shop in Las Vegas, is back with a spinoff, and the crew is going on the road across America.
The show, titled Pawn Stars Do America, has been filming around the country with the guys looking for collectible objects and historical finds.
Rick recently shared a photo on Instagram of himself, his son, Corey Harrison, and family friend Chumlee, which has some fans worried.
The guys had been filming for the spinoff and are back in Las Vegas, where their store, the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, is located.
The caption suggests that the guys are back for fun and not work: “Back in Las Vegas, and we’re ready to hit the jackpot #PawnStarsDoAmerica.”
Unless the jackpot means they scored an excellent deal for their pawn shop, maybe the guys are ready to party in a casino.
