The Max series Tokyo Vice enthralled audiences with its deep and intricate exploration into the underbellies of Japan. The series is based on the controversial book of the same name by Jake Adelstein and stars Ansel Elgort playing Adelstein along with popular Japanese actor Ken Watanabe. The first season received great reviews from audiences and critics.

The second season of the show is now streaming on Max. The makers of the show were hell-bent on shooting the series on location in Japan rather than constructing sets and recreating the country in other places. Despite a history of difficulties in having a Hollywood production in Japan, Tokyo Vice makers were successful in taking the necessary steps to secure a location for their shoot.

Max Payne’s remakes may be in development, but who said that doesn’t give other developers to cook up their own bullet time experiences? On that note, there’s a new exciting project in the works that looks like a serious combination of Max Payne, My Friend Pedro, and John Wick making the most of the cinematic gameplay experience you could hope for.
The game is called The Hong Kong Massacre and is being crafted by two individuals, working in a studio called Vreski that is based in Malmö, Sweden. Even though the game’s press kit shows a trailer of a game that looks very different, the narrative seems to have stayed unchanged over the course of its development.
Max Payne’s remakes will take a while, until then, have a taste of The Hong Kong Massacre This one is really looking like a first-person version of Max Payne!

One may resist celebrity culture, but most people have at least a few actors from pop culture history that mean something to them, whether they're from the silver screen or the flickering box.
Actors know how to spark our emotions and suspend our disbelief. They embody our favorite stories and the visions of our favorite filmmakers. The stars of film and television have the privilege of immortalizing themselves in certain times and places. But it is not just themselves that they immortalize. In their best projects, they capture many complexities of emotion and culture that are relevant to millions. Steve McQueen and his Mustang in "Bullet," Warren Beatty and his freewheeling libido in "Shampoo," Anthony Hopkins and his empathetic presidential turn in "Nixon" -- for better or worse, actors color our memories of the past in both trivial and important ways.
It can be wistful, therefore, when an old favorite passes,...

Along with The Mist and Dreamcatcher, Cycle of the Werewolf was one of my first introductions to Stephen King, so the Master of Horror's powerfully poignant prose in that novella—combined with the legendary Bernie Wrightson's amazing illustrations—will forever hold a special place in my horror-loving heart, and so too does its film adaptation: Dan Attias' Silver Bullet (which really captures the blood-soaked slice of small-town life in Tarker's Mills).
It's especially thrilling, then, that Scream Factory will be unleashing their Collector's Edition of Silver Bullet on 4K Uhd and Blu-ray just in time for the holiday season, and we have a look at the full list of bonus features fans can look forward to, including a new audio commentary with Eric Vespe and Scott Wampler of The Kingcast!

Quentin Tarantino recruited star Rosario Dawson for his 2007 feature Death Proof. While filming, the actor saw a link between Death Proof and a former Brad Pitt movie that allowed her to realize an old fantasy.
How ‘Death Proof’ reminded Rosario Dawson of this Brad Pitt movie Rosario Dawson | Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
Dawson was determined to star in Tarantino’s 2007 Grindhouse feature no matter what. Death Proof saw Kurt Russell playing a serial killer who murdered unsuspecting victims with his car. Dawson was tapped to audition for one of the many women Russell’s character would target. Tarantino and his Grindhouse partner Robert Rodriguez would test Dawson out for the role. But initially, Dawson felt she left a pretty poor impression on the filmmakers with her audition.

Sandra Bullock became an Oscar-winner after starring in the critically acclaimed feature The Blind Side. But initially, she didn’t see herself leading what would turn out to be one of her most memorable films.

The Blind Side was Bullock’s 2009 feature film that was based on a true story and the book of the same name. The actor portrayed Leigh Anne Tuoy, who would end up adopting a homeless teenager with her husband. As successful as the film was, Bullock originally shied away from the project multiple times. The pressure of playing Tuoy felt too great for the actor.
“I don’t even remember saying yes to the movie,” she once said according to Irish Examiner. “I kept turning it down, not because I didn’t like it, but because I didn’t know how to do it.

In the latest issue of Fangoria Magazine, The Last Voyage of the Demeter director André Øvredal explains that he wanted his version of Dracula to be “the most horrific, frightening depiction of Dracula that has ever been seen on screen.” He continues, “To do that, we needed a performer who could be agile and do these things that are superhuman.”
This desire led to Øvredal casting Javier Botet as Demeter’s Dracula, and the monstrous take on the horror icon is fully revealed in an official image gallery today.

It's been a big year for the "Dead By Daylight" franchise. Not only did they add Nicolas Cage to their ever-expanding Rolodex of in-game survivors, but they also managed to make the jump from pixels to cardboard, completing the Kickstarter for the much-anticipated release of "Dead By Daylight: The Board Game." And with all due respect to "Five Nights at Freddy's," that makes this one of the biggest cross-media titles in horror history.
But while Level 99 Games may have struck gold in the past with "Bullet," the company's previous puzzle-battling game, "Dead By Daylight: The Board Game" offers a more high-stakes excursion into the world of classic (and modern) movie monsters. In this review, we'll discuss why my regular board game group did not like the game — and why that approach only confirmed my desire to keep this one in my collection indefinitely.

Dracula is back on the big screen in Universal’s horror-comedy Renfield, and we won’t have to wait long to see Dracula’s next bloody adventure. Universal’s The Last Voyage of the Demeter is bringing Dracula back to theaters yet again on August 11, 2023, and today the film’s official MPA rating has been revealed. Like Renfield, this one is also rated “R”.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is rated “R” for “bloody violence.”
Based on Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, the horror movie will tell a unique Dracula story on the high seas, and the trailer (below) gave us our first look at this film’s incarnation of the iconic blood-sucker. Unlike many adaptations that depict Dracula as a human being, it seems The Last Voyage of the Demeter is leaning into Dracula being a full-on bat monster.
Expect Dracula to rip, bite, tear, and eviscerate...
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is rated “R” for “bloody violence.”
Based on Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel, the horror movie will tell a unique Dracula story on the high seas, and the trailer (below) gave us our first look at this film’s incarnation of the iconic blood-sucker. Unlike many adaptations that depict Dracula as a human being, it seems The Last Voyage of the Demeter is leaning into Dracula being a full-on bat monster.

Fox's Fantasy Island is a magical, idyllic tropical paradise where guests are welcomed to their holiday adventure by their elegant hostesses and the dashingly charming head of transportation, Javier.
As Javier, John Gabriel Rodriquez's brilliant smile and confident approach to piloting, whether by sea or air, is a warm and comforting entry point to what invariably proves to be a life-changing experience.
Speaking with TV Fanatic via Zoom from his home in Los Angeles, Rodriquez is just as affable and eloquently thoughtful as his on-screen character.
The current series is a revival of the original Ricardo Montalbán-anchored series that premiered in 1978 and went on to seven seasons of guest star-studded, fantastical must-see TV.
Before booking the role of Javier, Rodriquez understood the cultural phenomenon his series was built on.

Eight years after the project was first announced, writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) is finally in production, with filming taking place in Prague. With the start of production comes the launching of a website, which you can check out at This Link – and which is currently quite low on content. But the website does include some information we haven’t covered here before: Eggers’ The Witch star Ralph Ineson and Simon McBurney are both in the cast!
McBurney has over 60 screen acting credits to his name, stretching back to the 1980s. In recent years he had roles in Carnival Row, The Pale Blue Eye, The Conjuring 2, and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (pictured below).
Ineson and McBurney join a cast that includes the previously announced Lily-Rose Depp (Yoga Hosers), Nicholas Hoult (The Menu), Emma Corrin (The Crown), Aaron Taylor-Johnson...

Tupac Shakur's socially conscious poetry and fiery, political lyrics are forever cemented in music history, but the legendary rapper also had a burgeoning career in acting. Upon the time of his tragic murder in September 1996, Tupac was becoming all the more prolific as a performer, his filmography growing even after his death. What's more, there was a chance that, eventually, audiences would have seen the rapper/actor pop up in big-budget movies like the "Star Wars" prequels, in which George Lucas may have cast him as Mace Windu.
Tupac was always involved in the world of the stage ever since his childhood days at the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he acted in Shakespeare productions that would influence his depictions of gang conflicts. The artist's breakout lead role was in the 1992 crime drama "Juice," in which future Mace Windu actor Samuel L. Jackson also appeared in. Besides this,...

Cocaine Bear (read our review Here) screenwriter Jimmy Warden has said that he has ideas for multiple sequels to the film, and some movie-goers have already let it be known that they’re hoping and waiting for a movie that would be called Cocaine Shark. But while we wait to see if Cocaine Bear is going to spawn a franchise, the mockbuster masters at The Asylum have unveiled a poster of the mockbuster they have made to cash in on the Cocaine Bear hype: a movie called Attack of the Meth Gator! An exact release date hasn’t been announced, but we can expect to see Attack of the Meth Gator sometime this summer.
We can only assume that Attack of the Meth Gator is going to be about an alligator going on a killing spree after consuming meth, much like Cocaine Bear is about a bear going on a killing spree after consuming cocaine.

Just a quick update for you on this Holiday Saturday: Estimates this weekend are all over the place as some are reporting Disney’s Spider-Man: No Way Home- The More Fun Version will claim first place with around 7 Million over the 4 day holiday weekend while others seem to think Brad Pitt’s Bullet Train can reclaim the crown in its 5th weekend of release.
The big wrench is whether the first ever National Cinema Day with its 3 tickets will drive business to theaters, but even if it does, those 3 tickets probably won’t amount to much in terms of dollars and cents.
Top Gun: Maverick is still flying high and could surpass the 700 Million domestic mark this weekend, however with the film becoming the best selling week one digital release of all time, perhaps people are deciding to stay home this weekend to enjoy Tom Cruise’s highest grossing film ever.

Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard is returning to the helm for a sequel that has been shrouded in secrecy for months – all we’ve heard up to this point was that Wingard’s The Guest star Dan Steven had joined the cast, and that was way back in May. But now Warner Bros. and Legendary have sent out a press release to give us more information on this currently untitled addition to the Monsterverse, which is scheduled to reach theatres on March 15, 2024.
The press release reveals that the screenplay for this film was written by Terry Rossio (the Pirates of the Caribbean series), Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight), and Simon Barrett (You’re Next), the three of them crafting a story that

New details surrounding Brad Pitt’s alleged in-flight meltdown in September 2016 that led to his and Angelina Jolie’s divorce have been revealed.
Sources close to Pitt were said to have told Page Six that Jolie is “desperately trying to find something new” amid her and her ex-husband’s legal battle.
She allegedly sued the FBI for records she already had, anonymously filing a lawsuit in April using the name Jane Doe, requesting documents in a bid to figure out why no criminal charges were brought against Pitt at the time.
Docs seen by the publication show that the assistant United States attorney and the assistant United States chief of the Criminal Division discussed the case in November 2017.
A decision was eventually reached not to charge the actor.

Can a piece of luggage co-star alongside Brad Pitt, Bad Bunny, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson? Bullet Train might have proved that it can, with a Tumi briefcase at the center of the new action movie.
The David Leitch film sees Pitt’s character, a bumbling assassin called Ladybug, caught up in a web of underworld mayhem on a Japanese bullet train — all of which revolves around “The Case That Everyone is After.” The case, which is actually Tumi’s 19 Degree Aluminum Briefcase, was offered as a limited-edition release when the film premiered.

"Bullet Train" is packed with so much fast-paced chaos, you might have missed the sneaky Percy Jackson Easter egg hidden in its script. The action movie features a slew of codenamed assassins, including Ladybug (Brad Pitt), Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry), Tangerine (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), The Prince (Joey King), The Wolf (Bad Bunny), and The Hornet (Zazie Beetz). One of the few non-murderous characters aboard the high-speed train across Japan is The Son, portrayed by a long-haired, tattoo-covered Logan Lerman. Yep, this is where the Percy Jackson reference comes into play.
The son of Russian crime lord White Death, Lerman's character is being escorted to Kyoto by dynamic duo Lemon and Tangerine. The former has a love for the animated series "Thomas & Friends," often comparing its humanoid trains to the personality traits of those he crosses paths with. Upon meeting The Son, Lemon quips that he's similar to Percy,...

August is the month when schools reopen and the doldrums of September loom; the further we go into the August, the smaller the box office becomes. Even so, it usually brings in about two-thirds of July, which is often the biggest month of the year. So when “Bullet Train” (Sony) opens to 30 million domestic, it’s cause for concern — especially since the next film with similar potential is likely Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Black Adam,” which opens October 21.
“Bullet Train,” budgeted at 90 million pre-marketing, will need a strong multiple to support profitability as well as exhibitors’ hopes; otherwise, this month will likely be the lowest grosser since March. After that bottoming out we’ve seen grosses increase to the point that July achieved 90 percent of the 2019 take. The hope is August openings show signs of lingering momentum.
Next weekend, we’ll know if that’s the case for “Bullet Train.

While action buffs got a taste of great filmmaking earlier this year with "Everything Everywhere All at Once," the slate of films released since has been somewhat underwhelming.

Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse were among the many couples at the "Bullet Train" premiere in Los Angeles on Aug. 1. The couple looked supremely sweet as they posed like it was prom and gazed into each other's eyes on the red carpet. They also subtly matched: Palvin wore black lace separates with white knee-high boots, while Sprouse wore a classic black suit and a white shirt.
Palvin and Sprouse have been together for four years. After meeting at a party and promptly following each other on Instagram, Sprouse sent Palvin a message which went unanswered for six months until she finally decided to reach out. "I took my time," Palvin told W. "I knew I wasn't in a good mind-set at the time, and maybe deep inside I knew that it could be something more." They officially began dating in June 2018 and moved in together not long after, in January...

‘Bullet Train’ Review: Brad Pitt Even Shines in an Action-Packed Star Vehicle that Goes Nowhere Fast
If “Bullet Train” is one of the worst movies that Brad Pitt has ever starred in — better than “Troy,” but a hair short of “The Mexican” — this big shiny nothing of a blockbuster is also a remarkable testament to the actor’s batting average over the last 30 years, and some of the best evidence we have as to why he’s been synonymous with the movies themselves for that entire time. Because that’s the thing about movie stars, and why the last of them still matter in a franchise-mad world where characters tend to be more famous than the people who play them on-screen: They often get minted in good films, but they always get proven in bad ones.
“Bullet Train” is not a good film, but Pitt is having a truly palpable amount of fun in it, and the energy that radiates off of him as he fights...

Warner Bros’ DC League Of Super-Pets started wagging its tail overseas this weekend, barking up an estimated 18.4M in 63 markets That’s in line with expectations and places it 37 ahead of family comp The Bad Guys in like-for-likes. The global debut was 41.4M.
Outside the pooches, this was notably another holdover weekend for the studios while we await fresh blood in the form of Sony’s Bullet Train.

Owning a piece of history doesn’t come cheap!
On Friday, the 1968 Ford Mustang that Steve McQueen famously drove through the streets of San Francisco in Bullitt sold for $3.4 million at a Mecum Auctions event held in Kissimmee, Florida. Thanks to the record-breaking sale, the car is now the world’s most valuable Mustang, according to Road and Track. The previous record was set in January 2019, when a one-of-a-kind 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake sold for $2.2 million
Bidding for the car was over within just a few minutes time, according to Fox News, which noted that the identity of the seller has yet to be revealed.
