If Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer on most Americans’ calendars, then it makes sense that the real tentpole kicking off tent season for a lot of people is not “Furiosa” or “Garfield” but “The Beach Boys,” a streaming documentary devoted to the least wintery group of all time.
The Disney+ film, co-directed by music-doc stalwarts Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny, focuses on the first decade and a half, in the 1960s and ’70s, of the career of the rock band that still might rightfully be considered America’s greatest all-time group. It starts with their unusual, pre-Beatles melding of complex Four Freshmen harmonies with surf music and themes; continues on through the ground-breaking work of the “Pet Sounds” era that led to a friendly rivalry with the Beatles; covers the complicated years when musical architect Brian Wilson physically and psychologically retreated, leaving the group to seek...

Copenhagen-based TrustNordisk has just picked up international rights to the Danish drama “Home” by actor-turned director Marijana Jankovic (“The House that Jack Built”).
For her debut feature after 2019’s multi-awarded short film “Maja,” a best short winner at Tribeca, Jankovic has assembled an impressive A-list international cast.
This includes Dejan Cukic (“Snabba Cash”), Nada Sargin (“The Mould”), Zlatko Buric (“Triangle of Sadness”), Claes Bang (“The Square”), Jesper Christensen, Trine Dyrholm (“The Girl With the Needle”) and Lene Maria Christensen (“Unruly”).
Based on a script co-penned by Jankovic with the seasoned Bo Hr. Hansen, behind Thomas Vinterberg’s upcoming series “Families like Ours,” a hit at MipTV, and Babak Vakili (“Outlaw”), the story is inspired by the director’s own experience, and feelings of and reflections on uprootedness.

Since the "Furiosa" trailer first released in November 2023, one of the top questions on most fans' minds was exactly what the deal was with Chris Hemsworth's character, Dementus. From the trailers, he sure seemed like an antagonist, but he also felt a little too cool and fun to be a straightforward villain. Chris Hemsworth is always likable, after all, especially when he gets to use his native Aussie accent. At Warner Bros.' CinemaCon 2024 presentation in Las Vegas, attended by /Film's own Ryan Scott, director George Miller shed some light on creating the new villain Dementus for the upcoming prequel film, as well as his thought process on hiring Hemsworth for the role.
"There needed to be an element of charisma" to this character, Miller said. "There had to be a spontaneity and a darkness to it," so Hemsworth took inspiration from dictators throughout history. Of course, Marvel fans...

Stephen Falk’s Fxx underrated comedy “You’re the Worst,” which ran from 2014 to 2019, is a rom-com at heart … and it’s also raunchy, mean, deeply strange, and even off-putting at times. It’s a show where the central couple, Gretchen Cutler and Jimmy Shive-Overly — Aya Cash and Chris Geere in roles they were seemingly born to play — first meet at a wedding where Jimmy just got kicked out and Gretchen is stealing a gift. Both of their characters are established in their very first interaction. Gretchen asks Jimmy for a cigarette, and he’s irritated because they’re “expensive.” The incredulous yet brazen way Cash looks at Geere in response is the blueprint for Gretchen and Jimmy’s dynamic going forward.
The two go on to hook up that night, establishing an embittered relationship around which the entire series orbits for the following five seasons until the show ended five...

Gb News has been hit with its first Ofcom breach over the network’s Don’t Kill Cash campaign and more could be incoming.
The regulator this morning said Gb News had broken two parts of its code over the campaign lobbying politicians to stop Britain from moving away from being a cashless society.
Ofcom swiftly opened an investigation into an episode of Gb News’ The Live Desk that mentioned the campaign in its infancy in July and five more probes into Don’t Kill Cash’s promotion remain open.
While taking into account that “broadcasters are of course free to cover issues such as the use of cash in society in their programmes in various ways,” Ofcom said Gb News had broken rules 5.4 and 5.5 of its code, which “included expressions of the views and opinions of the licensee on a matter of political controversy and a matter relating to current public policy,...

Paramount+ has set the premiere date for the all-new documentary June, which will debut on the streaming platform on January 16th, 2024. Directed by Emmy Award-winner Kristen Vaurio, the film will shine a light on the life and work of the late June Carter Cash — five-time Grammy Award-winning singer, comedian, musician, actor, and author.

The unprecedented look into Carter Cash’s legacy aims to tell her story beyond her association with her husband, Johnny Cash.
On the significance of directing this story, Vaurio said, “She’s a woman whom many people are aware of, but few know much about her remarkable life and her deep contributions to country music.”

When :a[Aquaman]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/aquaman-review/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} flooded into cinemas at the end of 2018, it seemed intent on being more than just an ocean-based comic book blockbuster. Across its runtime, it took in all kinds of other genres – moments of (literal) fish-out-of-water comedy; that all-out horror sequence in the Trench; scenes of Indiana Jones-esque action-adventure; a Mamma Mia-ish jaunt to mediterranean climes. And for his sequel, Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, director James Wan is looking towards another genre template to fuse with the demands of a thunderous action-fantasy film.
“From the start, I pitched that the first film would be a Romancing The Stone-type thing – an action-adventure romantic comedy – while the second would be an outright buddy comedy,” he tells Empire in the world-exclusive new :a[Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies...

Yes, we’re talking about gift cards, but it doesn’t have to be as impersonal as it sounds.

The McMurray curse has been haunting the family since the series began, and on Ride Season 1 Episode 3, Cash chose to look at it differently.
He's had undue pressure on his shoulders since he returned, trying to follow in his late father's and brother's footsteps and prove that their family is thriving.
"The McMurray Curse" showed how Beau Mirchoff has matured as an actor into a leading man.
Cash is the rebel son, but he's always willing to please his mother, including schmoozing the Bull Riders League Gala judges. I love their relationship.
Cash: You know I hate this stuff.
Isobel: It doesn’t matter. If you want to do this…I mean, really do this.

Bob Dylan grew up listening to Johnny Cash and had the unique pleasure of not only meeting one of his idols but discovering that admiration went both ways. Dylan and Cash exchanged letters back and forth before they met. Eventually, after much insistence on Cash’s part, Dylan agreed to appear on The Johnny Cash Show. While there, Cash passed on messages from Dylan to a journalist. Dylan could have been rude. He wasn’t though, which was proof of Dylan’s friendship with Cash.

Kcet pulled ahead of Univision-owned Kmex (which it tied with last year), which came in second with 15 nominations. After that was Telemundo’s Kvea, with 13, and then newcomer Spectrum News 1, with 12.
Spectrum News 1 was launched in late 2018 by Spectrum Cable, and earned three nominations last year despite launching midway through this year’s eligibility period. This was the first full eligiblity year for the local cable news channel.
Among traditional English-language commercial broadcast stations, Nexstar’s Ktla was first with seven nominations.
Kcet’s sister station Koce “PBS SoCal” earned an additional six nominations, giving the PBS SoCal Media Group a combined 26.
The Television Academy also revealed Kcet had already won an Emmy in the independent programming category.
