Actor Kevin Spacey had been at the peak of his career when he was accused of s*xual assault and was put on trial. Many reports of assault and misconduct came out as part of the Weinstein Effect, which led him to lose out on most of his acting commitments at the time. The actor was also dropped from his long-running Netflix show House of Cards.
Spacey was reportedly cleared of his charges in 2023 and was ready to get back to work again. The two-time Oscar winner won his first Academy Award for his performance as Verbal Kint in Bryan Singer’s cult classic The Usual Suspects. The character was reportedly written with Spacey in mind as he was not too famous at the time, which would have given the twist away.

The devil and his minions crop up in a rash of new horror films, from Deliver Us and Immaculate to reboots of The Exorcist and The Omen. What does this tell us about our current anxieties?
Let’s hear it for the diabolically entertaining Late Night With the Devil, the latest example of the Ghostwatch school of things going horribly wrong on live TV. It’s a stunning exercise in sweaty desperation from the always brilliant David Dastmalchian, as a 1970s chatshow host whose ratings grab goes south when he makes the mistake of inviting a demonically possessed cult survivor on to his show. And hello there, long time no see, to Pazuzu (or is it Lamashtu? The jury’s still out), popping up again in The Exorcist: Believer, which tries to get one over on its ancestor The Exorcist by offering two possessed schoolgirls for the price of one – though,...

Casablanca, 1941: You're a small-time crook eyeing up a wealthy-looking gentleman at the bazaar who is paying more attention to his lady friend than what is happening around him. Suddenly, a car pulls up next to you and three police officers hustle you into the back of the vehicle. A few minutes later you're in a cell, but no one tells you why. After they've frogmarched several other men into the cell block they finally say why you've been brought here, and panic rises in your chest. You are suspected of murdering a high-ranking Nazi official!
"Round up the usual suspects" is my favorite quote from "Casablanca." It is uttered at the end by Captain Renault, the corrupt Vichy prefect of police, and there's a lot going on in those five words. First, it marks Renault's step towards the light as he joins the Allies in the fight against the Nazis.
