Exclusive: Aidan Quinn and Steve Buscemi are working on a movie adaptation of the Sam Shepard play Ages Of The Moon. Quinn and Buscemi are working to get the indie project off the ground and have found their writer and cinematographer with a view to shooting this year.

The two-hander follows a pair of old friends, Byron and Ames. With bourbon in hand, and sitting on the front porch, they chew over decades of friendship and rivalry. Shepard’s play was first staged in 2009 at the Abbey Theatre – the national theater of Ireland. Quinn and Buscemi performed a reading of the play last year in the same venue before doing the same over three nights at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York in January.

World War I remains one of the most devastating and complex conflicts in history, forever altering the political and social landscape of the 20th century, in many ways turning the page into the modern era. The war’s brutality, trench warfare, and widespread use of new military technology have been the subject of countless films, many of which strive for historical accuracy in depicting the realities faced by soldiers and civilians alike. From the harrowing conditions of the Western Front to the often-overlooked theaters of war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, these films capture the horrors, strategies, and human stories that defined the Great War.

Filmmakers have long balanced historical fidelity with cinematic storytelling, but some productions manage to come through with a compelling mixture. Accurate depictions of uniforms, weaponry, and military tactics, combined with gripping narratives, provide an immersive experience that brings history to life. While some...

Gwyneth Paltrow is regarded as one of the industry’s leading actresses. During her initial days, the actress appeared in small—and medium-budget films before she moved on to blockbuster movies. Critics at the time believed that Paltrow’s performances showcased a promising actress, and the press knew her as a Hollywood Royalty.

Anyone who knows Western cinema knows the history of the popular cinema genre and its evolution over the last hundred or so years. What's most fascinating about the genre is how it has affected audiences and audience appeal throughout the different eras of cinema. It seems there are multiple watershed films that either flip the script on the entire genre, pushing it in a different direction, or stand on their own as staples of the genre at any given time. From the classical era that influenced all Westerns to the stylized Italian "Spaghetti Westerns" and the contemporary revisionist Westerns, the genre has a plethora of important films to experience. Although they are not made as often in modern cinema, Westerns remain an important cultural cornerstone of cinematic storytelling.

Occasionally, a Western will come along that cements its place among the best in the genre, because the film knows exactly how...

Brad Pitt has been a consistent presence in blockbuster action comedies for the better part of the past two decades. After rising to fame for dramatic roles during the 1990s – such as in A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, Interview with the Vampire, Seven, and Fight Club – Pitt found further commercial success by starring in the Ocean's trilogy of heist comedies. He further solidified his status as a leading man in blockbuster action movies like Troy, the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and World War Z.

In 2020, Pitt won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He's also received Oscar nominations for his performances in 12 Monkeys, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Moneyball. More recently, after a scene-stealing cameo in 2022's The Lost City, Pitt starred...

Brad Pitt didn’t move to California to attend art school. At least, that’s what he told his parents. In reality, he had no plans for art classes—he wanted to become an actor. Growing up in Springfield, Missouri, Pitt had a normal, small-town childhood.

His parents prioritized education and stability. So, when he chose to leave college just two credits shy of graduating, he had to come up with a solid excuse. Pitt told them he was going to study art in California. However, he had never stepped foot in a classroom once he arrived in Los Angeles. Instead, the young Brad started looking for acting opportunities.

Before he was Brad Pitt, the heartthrob, and Oscar winner, he was just a student, a guy studying advertising and graphic design at the University of Missouri. Acting wasn...

Quick LinksBrad Pitt's Early Career Is Full Of ClassicsLegends Of The Fall Continued His Rise To A-list StardomThe Film's Unique Blend Of Frontiers and Genres Is Not To Be Missed

For decades, Brad Pitt has been a Hollywood legend whose lineup of dramatic, romantic, comedic, and unique characters has become iconic and memorable. His early career films allowed him to be more quiet and pensive in his performances, showcasing his acting chops from the start.

Usually, Brad Pitt is in films with a defined genre, from heist capers and epic dramas to romances and action. Yet one particular film was an incredible and unlikely blend of genres that Hollywood hadn't seen yet. Although the silver screen has had its incredible plethora of Westerns and World War films, seeing them in one film is a hard thing to pin down due to the period and culture of cowboys being ships passing in the night.

Netflix is removing several titles in March of 2025, including a selection of movies on the first of the month!

If you’re on Netflix often, you’ll remember seeing one of these films in the top 10 most watched section recently. Cillian Murphy, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Holland‘s In the Heart of the Sea was actually the number 1 movie on Netflix in early January, and now it’s being removed next month.

There’s lots of other fan favorite titles included, so be sure to scroll through the whole list. And mark your calendars to make sure to stream some of these titles before they’re gone for good!

2025 is in full swing, and with March just around the corner, it’s time for you to look ahead at the movies and series scheduled to depart Netflix throughout the month of March. The biggest notable TV series leaving is The Mindy Project, while hit films like Scooby-Doo and Love Again, among others, are also set to depart.

As always, Netflix’s library is constantly evolving. That means new titles are always on the way, but because Netflix licenses titles from big distributors, they’re not always on Netflix forever. When this license (or rental period) comes to an end, the movie or series leaves Netflix.

Note: This list will be constantly updated throughout February as we learn of more series and movies set to leave (typically 30 days before their departure). In the last few weeks of the month, Netflix...

The month of February is ending soon, which means series and movies will be leaving Netflix. You only have a few days left to catch these gems. There might be almost too much to try to see but so little time.

Don't worry, though. We have some ideas for you if you are in a movie mood. There will still be lots left to watch in March on your favorite streamer, just not these.

The films below are not all Oscar-worthy. That doesn't make them less enjoyable. In fact, sometimes you might just want to sit back and chill to something silly.

Tombstonewas a massive success that marked a major comeback for the Western genre, as it proved why these stories of gunslingers, outlaws, and the battles they waged were so accessible. The 1990s saw the debut of many westerns that would go on to establish themselves as being all-time classics, but while darker films like Unforgiven and Legends of the Fall had a gritty sense of realism, Tombstone was a far more entertaining adventure story that celebrated the “Golden Age of Hollywood.” It would be impossible to discuss the success of Tombstone without mentioning its cast, as the film managed to assemble some of the most exciting stars of its generation. However, it is easy to forget that Robert Mitchum played the important role of the narrator in Tombstone, as an accident prevented him from actually appearing in the film.

Actor Brad Pitt is known for his performances in commercial films, establishing himself as one of the best leading men in Hollywood. Pitt’s stardom has led to intense media and public scrutiny of his personal life, especially his marriage and divorce from ex-wife Angelina Jolie with the couple announcing their split in 2016.

Following the announcement of his divorce, it was widely reported that Pitt’s drinking issues were one of the reasons for the differences between the couple that led to their separation. Pitt discussed these reports in an interview and disclosed his association with Alcoholics Anonymous. However, Pitt’s revelation backfired unexpectedly, and here is what he had to say about it.

There’s good news at the MLK weekend box office for films like Sony’s new buddy comedy “One of Them Days” as well as more milestones for Christmas holdovers “Mufasa” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” but this holiday period is proving to be a weak one for theaters.

Overall grosses for the 4-day period are expected to fall to $96-100 million, an 18% drop from last year. “Mufasa” is taking No. 1 with an estimated 4-day total of $15.5 million in its fifth weekend, which is the lowest No. 1 total seen on an MLK weekend since the unadjusted $14 million 4-day holdover total of the Brad Pitt/Anthony Hopkins western “Legends of the Fall” way back in 1995, according to Box Office Mojo.

For Disney, this $15.5 million total for “Mufasa” is just fine, as it pushes the film’s domestic total past $200 million while its global total reaches $588 million. Though a world away from...

Brad Pitt didn’t hold back, and surprisingly, it wasn’t Sylvester Stallone he blamed for Hollywood’s obsession with ripped bodies. While most people credited (or blamed) Sly for turning actors into gym rats, Pitt pointed fingers in a totally unexpected direction.

Ever since this unnamed trendsetter set things in motion, it had been six-packs and bicep curls for anyone wanting to land a major role. And Pitt knew how wild it had gotten.

Brad Pitt dished on Hollywood’s fitness craze during the 2004 Troy press tour. Playing the Og warrior Achilles meant hitting the gym like never before. But Pitt has one man to thank, or blame, for the ripped standards: Robert De Niro.

It's always impressive when a movie manages to elicit genuine emotional distress from audiences, but it's even more impressive when they manage to accomplish this on a small scale. Most of the greatest thrillers of all time, from Seven and Children of Men all the way to Chinatown and North By Northwest are absolutely massive in scale and feature intense and meticulous world building across cities, states, and countries. While these films are huge in scale, they sit on the thriller genre Mount Rushmore because they manage to make massive worlds feel small, claustrophobic and isolated through ingenious tension creation. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are small-scale films like Coherence and Green Room that manage to feel huge and sprawling despite their mostly singular setting.

From bit parts to blockbuster hits, Brad Pitt's rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric. His iconic status means that anything he touches makes headlines. The news of his latest projects, including officially wrapping filming for the upcoming Formula One drama, F1, and the recent announcement that he is in talks for the making of Ocean's 14 as well as his starring role in Wolfs have excited his fans. On his way to acquiring this apex status, Brad Pitt made a movie playing a role in which he is at his most dramatic. In Edward Zwick's 1994 Oscar-winning Western epic Legends of the Fall, Brad Pitt portrays Tristan Ludlow, a rebellious cowboy who competes with his brothers for the love of a woman.

Despite being some of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis only collaborated once in the late 90s, with their film being the center of a major controversy. The Siege was the first and only film the two did together, with each having massive hits both before and after they finally appeared in a movie together. Their films have endured for decades, and will continue to do so.

Denzel Washington has a particularly strong filmography in the '90s, with Malcolm X, Philadelphia, He Got Game, and Much Ado About Nothing. Bruce Willis was considered one of the best action stars of all time in that decade, starring in films like the Die Hard franchise, The Fifth Element, and Armageddon. When they finally collaborated on The Siege, it failed to live up to the lofty heights of the two star's other films, with the most...

Brad Pitt's best movies feature him in a variety of interesting roles, from the chaotic Tyler Durden in Fight Club to the Nazi-killing soldier Aldo Raine in Inglourious Basterds. However, one of his most beautifully tragic portrayals comes in the form of Tristan Ludlow, the lead character in the 1994 Western epic, Legends of the Fall. Based on Jim Harrison's 1979 novella of the same name, the film follows Tristan as he and his brothers, Alfred (Aidan Quinn) and Samuel (Henry Thomas) enlist in World War I. The film explores the domino effect this decision has on Tristan's life.

Legends of the Fall is a drama film directed by Edward Zwick, starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, and Aidan Quinn. Set in the early 20th century, the movie follows the lives of the Ludlow family, focusing on the complex relationships between three brothers and their father against the backdrop of dramatic historical events.

When David Fincher sat down to helm Seven, he was coming off the bruising experience of his directorial debut, Alien 3. Studio interference had left him frustrated, even disillusioned. “I thought I was done with movies,” Fincher confessed in a recent interview with Los Angeles Times. Yet, the gritty, rain-soaked thriller that became Seven offered him a rare opportunity: creative freedom. What followed was a gamble on casting, a battle for integrity, and the birth of a genre-defining masterpiece.

Casting Pitt and Freeman: A Perfect Pairing

At the heart of Seven is the compelling dynamic between detectives David Mills (Brad Pitt) and William Somerset (Morgan Freeman). For Fincher, getting the casting right was essential. He knew the film needed contrasting energies to balance its dark narrative. “Brad and Morgan were polar opposites, and that’s exactly what the story needed,” Fincher explained.

El Festival Internacional de Cine de Granada Premios Lorca, uno de los eventos culturales más esperados de la ciudad andaluza, dio el pistoletazo de salida el pasado 15 de noviembre con una gala inaugural que tuvo lugar en el prestigioso Auditorio Manuel de Falla de Granada.

Llamado en honor al poeta granadino Federico García Lorca, el festival celebra la intersección entre cine, arte y la cultura andaluza, atrayendo las miradas tanto del talento local como del panorama internacional del mundo del cine. A lo largo de los años – el quinto con esta edición –, los Premios Lorca se han convertido en sinónimo de excelencia, honrando a cineastas, actores, y creadores de todo tipo que han ido dejando un profundo impacto en el mundo de las artes.

There are multiple ways to consider the success of a movie. Whether in the quality of the storytelling, performances or direction, many subjective perspectives exist about the greatest movies of all time. For the Western genre, the greatest films artistically include classics like The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West. However, when discussing the greatest westerns of all time, it's also important to discuss their overall financial success.

Many of the greatest quality films didn't actually make as much money at the box office as other films in their respective genres. The most successful westerns since 1994 depend on how well they performed with audiences, after adjusting for ticket price inflation. A few big names, like Django Unchained and True Grit, fall in this category, and they're also considered two of the best Westerns artistically. All box office statistics were sourced from The Numbers.

Did Brad Pitt almost leave the leading role in Legends of the Fall? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Picture this: It’s 1994, and Brad Pitt, the golden boy of Hollywood, almost walked away from his leading role in Legends of the Fall. Can you believe it? Director Ed Zwick revealed that tensions ran high on set, with Pitt needing to be talked “off the ledge” of quitting. Talk about a dramatic behind-the-scenes moment!

Originally, the role of Tristan was meant for Tom Cruise, but he dropped out due to personal qualms about the character’s motivations. Enter Pitt, who took over, but not without his own share of doubts. After a tense table read just days before filming, Pitt’s agent called the studio to say he wanted to quit. Yikes!

Zwick noted that he saw Pitt’s discomfort during the table read, which included heavy hitters like Anthony Hopkins and Julia Ormond.

Brad Pitt is no stranger to a solid period piece. Afterall, the actors name is synonymous with titles like Interview with the Vampire, Legends of the Fall, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. But, it was through the 2004 epic, Troy, that the actor picked up a sword, donned some shiny armor, and stepped into the shoes (or rather sandals) of one of the most famous Grecian stories. Right now, Netflix subscribers have a limited window to stream the title before it bows out of the fight on November 30. Dont say we didnt warn you!

While the werewolf is one of the coolest creatures ever imagined, there seems to be a belief that there hasn’t been many good werewolf movies. So we here at Arrow in the Head decided to take a look back at the films that have been made over the decades and compile a list of the Best Werewolf Movies. Check out our picks below, and leave a comment letting us know what your favorite werewolf movies are!

Wolf (1994)

Wolf is generally not a highly regarded movie, which is kind of shocking when you take into account that it was directed by Mike Nichols, started off as an idea from Legends of the Fall writer Jim Harrison, and has a cast packed with Oscar winners and nominees. Well, it is rather dull for large stretches of its overly long 125 minute running time and there’s way too much about the lead...

In the wild world of Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan crafted some epic drama that had everyone talking. But did you know he took inspiration from The Godfather to keep Kevin Costner away from one actor? Yep! Sheridan, channeling some serious mob boss vibes, knew how to play the game behind the scenes.

As the tensions on set rose, he drew from that iconic film’s intense family dynamics, creating a unique atmosphere that kept the cast on their toes. By making strategic choices about who Costner interacted with, Sheridan ensured the show’s fiery energy never fizzled out.

In the intricate web of Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan took a page from The Godfather to keep Kevin Costner away from Josh Lucas. Yep, you read that right!

They say that legends never die and with today's announcement, that sentiment has never rung more true as Legends of the Fall is headed for a 4K Ultra HD release. Filled to the brim with some of the biggest names in the industry, the iconic three-time Academy Award-nominated film can join your collection alongside other greats from the 90s. Starring the likes of Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Henry Thomas, Aidan Quinn, and Julia Ormond, the movies special release wont be one to miss. In addition to the dazzling new 4K upgrades, the drop will also come with a handful of bonus content including commentary, deleted scenes, featurettes, and more.

Of the dozens of Stephen King works that have been adapted to film (both big and small screen), one stands out as not only the best among his, but one of the best films ever made. “The Shawshank Redemption” had its nationwide release on September 23, 1994 and, while audiences at the time didn’t know what to think of this seemingly “dreary” film, it has endured for three decades as a beloved favorite for its messages of hope and friendship. Read on for more about “The Shawshank Redemption’s” 30th anniversary.

“The Shawshank Redemption” follows the 20-year ordeal of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker who is wrongly convicted of killing his wife and her lover, and subsequently encounters all manners of abuse within the prison walls, from corrupt warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton) and brutal prison guard captain Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown) to the “Sisters” gang of rapists led by...

Prior to his headline-making tumultuous relationship with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt had a whirlwind affair with Gwyneth Paltrow, which was ignited on the set of Ed Zwick’s epic drama Legends of the Fall. Hired to read lines alongside Pitt, the Oscar-winning actress not only exhibited an authentic portrayal of Susannah but also sparked undeniable magic with Pitt.

Unfortunately, although Ed Zwick had to reject Gwyneth Paltrow, due to her age factor, her chemistry with Brad Pitt soon became one of Tinseltown’s most captivating love stories, turning a chance encounter into a whirlwind romance. Thereafter, although fans were captivated by their romance, Zwick claimed to be less than surprised, based on their electric chemistry on set.

Tom Cruise might be the king of death-defying stunts, but even he knows his limits—well, sometimes. In a career full of heart-stopping moments, from hanging off planes to scaling skyscrapers, there’s one scene that left even Cruise tapping out. Yep, this one stunt was so extreme it was deemed impossible to shoot without risking a trip to the great beyond.

And we’re not talking about some CGI extravaganza—this was supposed to be the real deal, but physics and common sense got in the way. Despite his adrenaline-junkie reputation, Cruise couldn’t pull this one off, leaving fans to wonder what could’ve been the most epic and expensive stunt sequence in cinema history. Even Ethan Hunt had to say no!

Behind the Scenes of The Last Samurai: How Tom Cruise’s...

Seeing Brad Pitt on the big screen has been a pleasurable experience for many as he proved time and time again what a commendable actor he is. But it seems the offscreen experience of working with him hasn’t been all too kind for but a few. Filmmaker Ed Zwick, for instance, has been one who didn’t exactly have the most pleasurable venture working with him.

Although the pair only collaborated on one movie, it didn’t go down as one of the best filmmaking adventures for either. The physical altercations for that one project were high enough that this duo may never reunite for another project. But surprisingly enough, Pitt isn’t the only one who might not work with Zwick again, for Julia Roberts seemingly shares the same fate.

Ed Zwick May Never Work With Brad Pitt...

Sometimes, as William Shakespeare once stated, “All that glitters is not gold”—even when it comes to icons like Brad Pitt. Did you know that the beloved star nearly hung up his cowboy boots before he fully embraced the role of Tristan Ludlow in Legends of the Fall? It’s as if Ed Zwick, the director, was handed a tough row to hoe when Tom Cruise bailed on the project over “ethical” concerns about the character.

Imagine stepping onto a film set with a director torn between his vision and a leading man second-guessing himself; it’s like dancing on a tightrope! And yet, the film turned out to be a cult classic, fascinating audiences worldwide. What led Pitt to stick it out, and how did he steer those tumultuous days on set?

Tom Cruise Almost Joined the Cast...

Picture this: Brad Pitt, Hollywood’s leading man, once got the cold shoulder from a major sitcom. Fast forward, and he’s gracing one of the most iconic episodes of Friends. Yup, you read that right. Before Pitt became a global superstar, he faced a sitcom rejection that’s almost as legendary as his role on Friends. The twist? He didn’t just pop up on any old episode—he landed in one of the highest-rated moments of the series!

Brad Pitt,...

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have been at the very top of Hollywood for decades, and this amount of success is bound to come with competition. The actors have been competing for the title of the pinnacle of the film industry for longer than they have been successful, with their feud starting before their fame in 1994’s Interview with the Vampire.

Even though they are technically at the same level when it comes to success, there is one star who is bagging better checks and has a wider approach than the other. While many of Pitt’s fans have tried to understand what makes Tom Cruise more successful than him, Ed Zwick’s thoughts on the actor may help clear out their confusion.

During an interview, Zwick talked very highly of Cruise, and it is safe to...

One movie would have added another milestone in Winona Ryder's career in retrospect. The actor was offered the lead in a remake of Sabrina but she turned down that role.

Winona Ryder revealed she was offered to star in 1995's Sabrina but she declined it. In an interview with Esquire, she said she just wasn't into the prospect, despite her talent agency's protests. Directed by Sydney Pollack, Sabrina takes after the 1954 romantic comedy that starred cinema icons Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and William Holden. That film has since seen multiple adaptations including the 1995 remake. Ryder asserted she would have loved to work with Pollack, but she opted out knowing it was Audrey Hepburn's shoes she was going to fill; the role went to Julia Ormond. Ryder's decision might have been for the best in retrospect, since the Pollack version was ruthlessly compared to the original.

Disney, CAA, and Miramax lost a bid to toss out a lawsuit by Julia Ormond, who alleged the companies failed to protect her from now-incarcerated Harvey Weinstein.

“The complaint sufficiently alleges that CAA failed to protect plaintiff from Weinstein, failing to warn her of his alleged reputation while at the same time negotiating the production company agreement between the plaintiff and Miramax, and later arranging the dinner meeting between plaintiff and Weinstein,” said the court’s ruling stated, per The Los Angeles Times. At the time of the alleged assault,...

CAA has lost its bid to dismiss a lawsuit from Julia Ormond faulting the agency for failing to warn her about Harvey’s Weinstein’s history of sexual misconduct before she took a meeting with the former movie mogul that led to her assault.

Ormond last year filed a wide-reaching lawsuit accusing her ex-agency, Miramax and Disney of turning a blind eye to Weinstein’s crimes. After she was assaulted, she said her agents at the time, who were allegedly told by another client that Weinstein proposed sex in exchange for career opportunities, discouraged her from reporting the incident to law enforcement.

In an order rejecting dismissal of the case, New York judge Suzanne Adams found on Monday that the allegations “suggest that CAA knew or had reason to know of a potential assault by Weinstein” that could constitute a breach of agency’s fiduciary duties to Ormond, who rose...

A judge on Monday allowed Julia Ormond to proceed with allegations that Disney and CAA failed to protect her from Harvey Weinstein in the mid-90s.

Suzanne J. Adams, a state court justice in Manhattan, denied the companies’ motions to dismiss the lawsuit, which claims that the entertainment conglomerate and the agency enabled Weinstein’s predatory behavior because he “made them too much money.”

Ormond sued the companies last October, alleging that Weinstein sexually assaulted her in New York in December 1995. CAA represented Ormond the the time, and had negotiated a deal for her at Weinstein’s company, Miramax, which was owned by Disney. Miramax was also named as a defendant.

The British actress rose to stardom in the mid-90s with lead roles in “Sabrina” and “Legends of the Fall.” She alleges that after the assault, her CAA agents, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane, discouraged her from reporting the...

Welcome to The Best Movie You Never Saw, a column dedicated to examining films that have flown under the radar or gained traction throughout the years, earning them a place as a cult classic or underrated gem that was either before it’s time and/or has aged like a fine wine.

With this article, we’re taking a look back at the 1990 thriller Revenge, which was directed by the late, great Tony Scott. Since today – August 19th – marks the anniversary of Scott’s death, we felt this would be an appropriate time to dig into one of his lesser known films, and Revenge fits the bill, even though Quentin Tarantino (who wrote the Scott classic True Romance) has referred to this one as Scott’s masterpiece.

David Fincher is done fighting over Fight Club. The iconic director has heard it all: Tyler Durden is a symbol of toxic masculinity, a racist, a misogynist—the list goes on. But now, Fincher is stepping into the ring himself to defend the character he helped bring to life. Brad Pitt’s portrayal of the anarchic anti-hero may have been embraced by rebellious souls everywhere, but critics have taken a much darker view.

Fincher, however, sees Durden differently. To him, Tyler’s not a role model, but a cautionary tale—one that’s been misinterpreted by those who missed the point. In true Fight Club fashion, Fincher’s ready to take on anyone who dares to call his creation a villain.

You wouldn’t think a movie...

For a pair once known as the most widely shipped power couples of all time, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are going through a lot more than just a “rough patch.” While their ongoing messy and incredibly lengthy divorce war is one thing, what further has them constantly stealing the spotlight is their seemingly never-ending fight over their assets and properties.

That being said, recent reports are claiming that vengeance has reportedly seeped into Pitt’s heart while fighting this legal battle with his former wife. This comes after one crucial act from the Fight Club actor’s legal team seems to have sent Jolie on a wild goose chase after documents that the source claims even Pitt believes won’t be able to stand in court.

The film was a hit, earning $160 million worldwide along with an Oscar for Best Cinematography at the 67th Academy Award. However, despite being one of the most successful and best films of his career, Zwick almost lost the project due to its leading star’s resistance.

In addition to his talent, his charming looks and endearing personality have always made women swoon over him since the 90s. The Wolfs star has aged gracefully into his 60s and he looks almost 10 years younger in the set pics/videos of his F1 film. Many people consider him a much bigger draw than 2023’s People’s Sexiest Man Alive winner, Patrick Dempsey.

Terry Gilliam's 1995 film "12 Monkeys" is a time travel story that was extrapolated from Chris Marker's celebrated 1962 short film "La Jetée," only expanded to fit into 129 minutes. In "12 Monkeys," Bruce Willis plays James Cole, a man trapped in the hellscape of the year 2035. Years before, a virus wiped out most of humankind, forcing the survivors into chasms underground. James is selected to go back in time to uncover information about the impending virus, hoping to find a cure.

Cole, however, is dizzy and disconnected when he travels through time to the year 1990. His confusing stories about coming from the future leave those in the present suspecting that he's mentally ill. Cole is committed to a mental asylum, doped up on drugs, and concerned about the future of his mission. While in the asylum, Cole meets an inmate named Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt), a twitchy, paranoid chatterbox who raves about vast government conspiracies.
