"Interstellar" represents a lot of firsts for Christopher Nolan. The 2014 sci-fi movie was the first time the director infused one of his stories with some real heart and treated it as if it were just as important as any of the philosophical musings which typically guide his films. As such, "Interstellar" became Nolan's heartfelt masterpiece, not only making time for emotional exploration but also arguing for love itself as our only means of transcending the inexorable march of time.

"Interstellar" was also the first time Nolan worked with Dp Hoyte van Hoytema, who has since served as cinematographer on three of the British director's other films. It was also the first time Nolan worked with Matt Damon, who for a long time had been an outspoken fan of the director. Even after his brief appearance in "Interstellar," Damon was angling for a bigger role in a Nolan film, which he...

We recently learned some exciting news about several returning Taylor Sheridan shows from Paramount, but there was one particular title left out of the group. While we learned release windows for four of the prolific producer's television series coming later this fall, one of his highly anticipated Yellowstone spinoffs didn't receive an update on when to expect its release.

The Madison wasn't given a release window along with four highly anticipated Sheridan series. During an earnings call held by Paramount, the company revealed that Tulsa King season 3, Mayor of Kingstown season 4, Landman season 2, and Dutton Ranch would all premiere on Paramount+ between September and November 2025. The company also confirmed 1944 would release in 2026, and we also learned Kayce Dutton's spinoff arrives on CBS sometime next year..

Unfortunately, that list of titles didn't include The Madison, which was honestly expected to be released sometime in 2025 and still could, perhaps even this summer.

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 is further expanding its cast. Deadline reports thatFire Country and Criminal Minds veteran Jason O'Mara is the latest to join Season 4 of the Netflix series, alongside Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage), Nancy Silverton, and Javon Johnson (The Oval). Chriqui has been tapped to play Jeanine Ferrigno, the girlfriend of a local gangster who finds herself mixed up in a dangerous criminal enterprise which gives her information pivotal to Mickey’s (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) defense. Fire Country veteran Jason O’Mara has been tapped for the role of Jack Gilroy, Maggie’s (Neve Campbell) current boyfriend, an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. Silverton will cameo as herself, a world-renowned chef and restaurant owner, and Johnson will play Carter Gates, a hardworking business owner who has turned his life around after a troubled youth.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a remake of the popular 2011 Matthew McConaughey movie that also stars Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei.

Gen Z will meet Baby Boomer in David O. Russell’s next feature, with the “American Hustle” and “The Fighter” director lining up Jenna Ortega and Robert De Niro to star.

“Shutout,” based on a screenplay by Alejandro Adams, is being produced by Russell, Rk Films’ Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Mark Bomback. Black Bear will introduce the project to international buyers at the upcoming Cannes Film Market. CAA Media Finance is handling U.S. rights.

“Shutout” follows Jake Lejeune (De Niro), one of the last masters of a vanishing craft — the pool hustler. Having lived and lost by the roll of a ball in smoky backroom halls, Jake encounters Mia (Ortega), a young prodigy whose raw, electrifying talent reignites a fire he thought long extinguished. Sensing a rare opportunity to shape a legend, Jake takes Mia under his wing, honing her instincts and sharpening her natural gift. Together,...

The 13th annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey (Mj&m) fundraising weekend has set a new record, raising over $17 million for five charitable organizations dedicated to children’s education, health and wellness.

Held April 24-25, 2025, in Austin, Texas, the event was the most successful in the organization’s history.

Mj&m, the joint fundraising initiative created by Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, ACM Award-winning recording artist Jack Ingram, and Texas coaching legend Mack Brown, supports CureDuchenne, Dell Children’s Medical Center, HeartGift, just keep livin Foundation, and The Rise School of Austin.

“This year’s record-breaking success means more children will receive life-changing support,” said Mack Brown. “We’re deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this our most impactful event yet.”

The two-day celebration kicked off Thursday with a star-studded Gala featuring a performance by country music superstar Eric Church. The festivities continued Friday with a Golf Tournament, Fashion Show by Neiman Marcus,...

Tubi is known for adding highly popular and hidden gems to its streaming site, making movies and television shows available to all for free. One of the newly added movies, for the month of May, is Christopher Nolan's groundbreaking epic science fiction film Interstellar. The 2014 production stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine. Interstellar was the tenth highest-grossing film of 2014. Distributed by Paramount/Warner Bros., the critically acclaimed movie grossed over $670 million worldwide.

It follows a group of astronauts who travelthrough a wormhole near Saturn in search of a new home for humankind. In the film, set in the dystopian future, planet Earth is suffering from a catastrophic blight and famine. Nolan first got involved in the project after his brother, Jonathan Nolan, was hired to create a story and pen the script. In a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director...

Exclusive: We may have the first casualty of the prolonged — and unpredictable — regulatory approval process of Skydance’s proposed $8 billion Paramount takeover. Skydance is pausing new spending on a high-profile drama series starring and executive produced by Jeremy Strong and written and executive produced by Tobias Lindholm, sources tell Deadline.

Tentatively titled 9/12, the series, which was originally set up at Sister in 2021 as The Best Of Us before moving to Skydance late last year, tells the story of the first responders of 9/11, relying on heavily researched accounts, and pays tribute to those impacted.

It is the first and only so far Skydance production budgeted against the new Skydance-Paramount deal; it had been moving ahead for a targeted August filming kickoff. That tentative start of production timeline remains in place for now but Skydance executives have informed the series’ creative team that new spending is being put on hold as of today,...

Why Did Jonah Hill Settle For A Minimum Paycheck In The Wolf Of Wall Street? ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

Jonah Hill’s career has been a long game of reinvention. He started out in loud comedies and eventually landed deep in the world of high-caliber dramas. One of the biggest turning points came in The Wolf of Wall Street, where his portrayal of the unhinged, gold-chain-wearing Donnie Azoff firmly established him as more than just the funny sidekick.

While starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie in a Scorsese-directed frenzy of drugs, greed, and chaos, Hill didn’t just hold his own. He stole scenes.

Star Power But Minimum Paycheck

Jonah Hill’s paycheck for the role was shockingly humble despite the film’s A-list glamour and blockbuster status. While his co-stars raked in millions, Hill pocketed what amounted to a Hollywood minimum wage, around $60K, for nearly seven months of shooting.

Jason Statham’s new movie is finally set to exit theaters soon after grossing only $300,000 at the box office this weekend, but another of his more recent flicks has become a streaming hit. Statham stars alongside Hugh Grant and Aubrey Plaza in Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, the spy thriller following an elite espionage agent (Statham) who recruits a movie star to help him stop the sale of a dangerous weapon. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre hit Peacock on April 28, and less than one day later, it landed in the streamer’s top 10, sitting at #6 at the time of writing. In addition to Statham, Grant, and Plaza, Operation Fortune also stars Cary Elwes and Josh Hartnett, and it earned scores of 51% from critics and 82% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. It also grossed $48 million at the global box office.

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre was written and directed by Guy Ritchie,...

After A24 released the first trailer for The Smashing Machine with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, it didn’t take long for awards pundits and journalists to start speculating about its future as an Oscar player. Truth be told, Johnson has been considered a potential Best Actor nominee for months, with only a still photo of his transformation into UFC fighter Mark Kerr in his war chest.

However, now that The Smashing Machine trailer has arrived, it seems fair, even at this early stage in the calendar, with the movie still months from its debut, to wonder aloud whether Johnson could leap from popcorn star and beloved WWE wrestler to Academy Award nominee.

If it happens, don’t act too surprised, especially since, on paper, The Smashing Machine has a lot in its favor. Based on the documentary of the same name, and written and directed by Benny Safdie, The Smashing Machine...

Was Leonardo DiCaprio not the first choice for Jack in Titanic?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

James Cameron’s epic disaster film Titanic was released in 1997, and the film became the highest-grossing movie then. Until now, only three films, namely ‘Avatar’, ‘Avengers: Endgame’, and ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, are ahead of Titanic in terms of the global box office figures.

Before Leonardo DiCaprio was finally cast in the lead role of Jack, James Cameron’s first choice was another young and talented actor. Any wild guesses? Read on to know the actor’s name.

James Cameron Wanted This Actor To Play Jack Dawson in Titanic

As per a report by Cinema Blend, Titanic director James Cameron wanted to cast River Phoenix for the coveted role. Unfortunately, the casting could not happen because of the actor’s sudden death when he was just 23 years old. This happened before James Cameron could even...

"Yellowstone" might be over, but Taylor Sheridan and Paramount's hit franchise is a constantly growing juggernaut that shows no signs of slowing down. With "1883" and "1923" officially done and dusted, Sheridan and his trusty colleagues are working on even more spin-offs of the hit neo-Western series, which will continue exploring the Dutton family's present, history, and future.

As of this writing, there are five "Yellowstone" spin-offs in various stages of development. If they all go ahead as planned, we will be treated to stories set against the backdrop of historic real-world conflicts and be re-introduced to some fan-favorite characters following the events of "Yellowstone."

One show doesn't even feature the Duttons, which opens the door for the franchise to keep expanding after the main family's history has been milked harder than the cows that populate their ranch. So, without further ado, here is a list of every "Yellowstone...

Fans have been left waiting for any updates about the second season of Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix series, The Gentlemen. And while we now have a promising update, it could mean fans will be left waiting even longer before returning to this caper about an aristocrat and his drug empire.

As per a report by Screen Global Production, The Gentlemen Season 2 has only just started filming, with the Netflix production returning to the United Kingdom for the follow-up. Much like its predecessor, the second season will consist of eight episodes but, while the series was officially renewed back in August last year, it has taken a while before getting it in front of cameras. Meaning audiences are likely looking at a 2026 release date.

Landing on Netflix in March 2024, The Gentlemen is a spin-off of Guy Ritchie’s 2019 crime comedy of the same name starring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding,...

Kiefer Sutherland can play the protagonist in the story, like Jack Bauer from 24 or Tom Kirkman from Designated Survivor. And he can easily slip into a cruel antagonist, like David from The Lost Boys or Freddie Lee Cobb from A Time to Kill. The variety of roles in Sutherland’s filmography, spread over more than four decades, speaks volumes about the actor.

However, there is one role for which we never appreciated Sutherland enough. In 1992, Sutherland took on the supporting role alongside the likes of Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, and Kevin Bacon in A Few Good Men. He had a limited role in the film as Lt Jonathan Kendrick, but this villain performance of the actor was different from his others.

Kiefer Sutherland’s often-overlooked performance in Tom Cruise’s A Few Good Men Kiefer Sutherland as Lt. Kendrick in a still from A Few Good Men...

We’ve all been there, binge-watching your favorite show, only to find out it’s leaving the platform sooner than expected. It’s the worst, right? Well, May is shaping up to be especially heartbreaking for Netflix subscribers, as a slew of fan-favorite movies and TV shows will be disappearing. From iconic rom-coms to intense thrillers, this month’s Netflix exit list is stacked.

So if you’ve been meaning to watch (or rewatch) a few, now’s the time to hustle before these gems are gone for good. Time to hit play before they’re outta here!

Movies leaving Netflix in May May 1 1. About Time (2013)

If you haven’t seen About Time yet, prepare for your heart to be gently squeezed and your tear ducts thoroughly tested. This British romantic dramedy, written and directed by Love Actually’s Richard Curtis, stars the endlessly charming Domhnall Gleeson as Tim, a...

Timothée Chalamet Movie Transformation (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Timothée Chalamet’s rise has been as dramatic and stylish as one of his red carpet-looks. He started as the indie scene’s favorite artsy boy, soft-spoken, floppy-haired, and constantly heartbroken in sun-drenched landscapes. Fast forward a few years, and he’s now leading box office juggernauts, riding space worms in Dune: Part Two, and rapping his way through chocolate factories in Wonka.

Somehow, he managed to stay both a fashion icon and a total goofball (we’re still not over Lil Timmy Tim). With collaborations spanning from Greta Gerwig to Denis Villeneuve, he has officially entered that rare actor zone where people will show up just to watch him stare moodily into the distance. So, whether you’ve been following him since Call Me By Your Name or hopped on the hype train post-Interstellar, it’s time to rank the hits, the near-misses,...

Legend has unveiled its packed May 2025 premiere schedule, delivering an ambitious run of science fiction, fantasy, and action classics that stretch across time, space, and genres.

At the top of the pile is James Cameron’s rarely broadcast deep-sea thriller The Abyss, which makes a rare UK television appearance on Sunday 25 May at 9pm. This underwater epic about alien intelligence, nuclear paranoia, and human resilience remains one of Cameron’s most visually arresting and emotionally charged films.

But for those who prefer their sci-fi terrain a little more subterranean than subaquatic, Legend has curated a trio of matinee premieres that mine classic adventure with gusto. Kicking off with Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) on 5 May, followed by Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961) and disaster milestone The Poseidon Adventure (1972), the channel dives deep into cult cinematic archaeology.

The month also marks the arrival of Highlander III: The Sorcerer,...

Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila have all three kids by their side for a special night!

The full family stepped out together for the 2025 Mack, Jack & McConaughey Gala at Acl Live on Thursday (April 24) in Austin, Tex.

Matthew and Camila were joined by 16-year-old son Levi, 15-year-old daughter Vida, and 12-year-old son Livingston.

Mack, Jack & McConaughey (Mj&m) is the annual joint fundraising effort of McConaughey, ACM Award-winning recording artist Jack Ingram, and coaching legend Mack Brown. The two-day fun-filled event offers music, golf and fashion benefiting select non-profit organizations that each reflect the Mj&m goal to empower kids. Since the launch of Mj&m, the nonprofit has given over $61 million to charitable organizations.

Levi is a budding actor and he recently made a fashion appearance in New York City!

Tubi has recently released a press release detailing all the films, series, and reality shows coming to the streamer in May. Among the 100+ releases arriving on Tubi, some of our favorite movies have also made it to the list. Given that the streamer is free for users, fans now get to watch these films without the hassle of a paywall.

The streamer has also announced four original projects in May. If you are wondering how the streamer makes money on these projects, it makes revenue from the ads run on the platform.

The hottest picks on Tubi in May 2025

Tubi’s can’t-miss category of films this May includes a few Fast & Furious films and a few DC titles. The streamer also brings a few Oscar-winning titles,...

The Last Of Us- Before Pedro Pascal This Was Cast As Joel(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Soon after the opening season of the post-apocalyptic horror drama The Last of Us premiered in January 2023, the show became an instant hit among fans across the globe. The massively mounted series features Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the lead roles of Joel and Ellie, respectively. But do you know that Pedro Pascal was not the only actor under consideration to play Joel in The Last of Us?

An Oscar-winning Actor Was In Talks To Play Joel

In the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the show’s co-creator Craig Mazin revealed that there were talks about casting the Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey to essay the lead role of Joel in The Last of Us series, as per Cbr. Can you believe it? Would’ve been crazy, right? However, Matthew McConaughey was not available...

Christopher Nolan‘s space epic Interstellar wasn’t just a mind-bending journey through space and time—it was also a masterclass in budget efficiency. Made for approximately $165 million, the film delivered spectacular visuals, an all-star cast, and groundbreaking scientific concepts that had audiences questioning reality.

But would it surprise you to learn that several animated features actually cost more to produce? It’s true! While Nolan was crafting realistic wormholes and fifth-dimensional tesseracts, animation studios were quietly pouring even more cash into pixels and rendering farms.

The incredible artistry behind these animated blockbusters comes with a hefty price tag that would make even a black hole-exploring spacecraft seem economical by comparison. The technical challenges of bringing completely imagined worlds to life frame-by-frame sometimes demand resources that even interstellar travel can’t match.

1. Tangled

Disney‘s 2010 adaptation of Rapunzel didn’t just feature incredible hair animation—it featured incredibly expensive hair animation.

If you’re looking for good movies streaming this month, you’re going to find a treasure chest on Hulu. The streaming service regularly has a healthy selection of new releases, classics and hidden gems, but April is positively jam-packed with all of the above. From one of the best horror movies of last year to a Scorsese classic that’s only become more relevant with time — and a pair of 2024 thrillers that slipped under the radar, here’s a hand-picked selection of the best new movies on Hulu in April.

Hulu is getting a trio of 2024 IFC Films/Shudder movies in April (“Azrael” and “In a Violent Nature” are the other two), and “Oddity” is easily the crown jewel of the batch — and of Shudder’s 2024 lineup. Carolyn Bracken stars as Dani, a blind psychic medium and owner of a curio shop,...

Top Christopher Nolan movies at Box Office (Photo Credit – Instagram)

With Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan not only tackled complex themes but also achieved massive box-office success, proving that you can make an emotionally charged, intellectual film and still rake in the big bucks. The film broke records and left audiences in awe, but interestingly, it’s not even Nolan’s highest-grossing movie to date!

That’s right, despite its impressive earnings, Oppenheimer takes a backseat to a few other Nolan flicks. The filmmaker has been on a roll for decades, pushing the limits of what a summer blockbuster can be while packing in deep philosophical musings. From time manipulation to psychological twists, Nolan’s movies have become synonymous with big ideas and even bigger paydays. So, let’s dive into his top five highest-grossing films and see how the man has cracked the code for success.

1. The Dark Knight Rises

Matt Damon’s incomparably awesome box office journey(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Over the years Matt Damon has played everything, from his Oscar-nominated role of a stranded astronaut in Mars, to his recent success of Oppenheimer, where he portrayed General Leslie Groves in Christopher Nolan’s historical epic, he has time and again proved his worth that became a box-office juggernaut and an award season favorite.

In this list, we’re counting down Matt Damon’s top five highest-grossing films at the global box office. These movies not only showcase his versatility and enduring appeal but also reflect the scale and impact of the stories he chooses to be part of.

5. Ocean’s 11(2016)- $450M

In the first installment of George Clooney’s stylish casino-heist trilogy, Matt Damon takes on the role of Linus Caldwell, a skilled member of Danny Ocean’s elite crew. The film grossed $183 million at the US box office,...

Harmony Korine is hard to pin down: Stylistically, ideologically, and even rhetorically. While leading a Q&a with him before a mostly teenage and 20-something crowd at the Ringling College of Art and Design at the Sarasota Film Festival on April 12, that quickly became apparent.

Like he was once again appearing on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” as he did frequently in the 1990s, Korine gave some amusing answers — maybe non-answers.

What inspired his latest film, “Baby Invasion“? “I’d seen this Phil Collins video, and I just remember watching it, and I had been drinking Mountain Dew and eating Skittles, and I was playing a lot of Tetris, and the movie just came to me.”

What made him fall in love with Florida, where he’s made his recent movies and has headquartered his company Edglrd? “Strip malls. I was investing in this company that just builds strip malls,...

What Do We Know About the upcoming Yellowstone spin-off series focused on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler? More than you may think. The Paramount+ series is slated to continue where the original Yellowstone left off. From plot, casting news, and more, lets dive in and take a look at what is coming up in the new addition to the Yellowstone franchise.

What is the spin-off about?

While the final episode of Yellowstone was teased as a season finale rather than a series ender, news reports have been circulating since the January 1, 2023 mid-season finale of the fifth season. With a contentious public squabble between series creator Taylor Sheridan and star Kevin Costner regarding the iconic actor wanting more time to work on his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga, Yellowstone was stuck trying to wrap up the season without its leading man. With the SAG-AFTRA and Writer’s Guild strikes delaying things further,...

What Do We Know About the upcoming Yellowstone sequel series The Madison? More than you may think. The Paramount series starring Michelle Pfieffer was first announced in 2023 and is currently in production. From plot, casting news, and more, let’s dive in and look at what is coming up in the new addition to Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone franchise.

What is The Madison about?

The plot of The Madison has been summed up in the logline that it “follows the McIntosh family, originally from New York City, who live in the Madison River valley of central Montana.”

Michelle Pfeiffer leads the cast

Michelle Pfeiffer is set to lead The Madison in the role of Stacy Clyburn, with Patrick J. Adams and Elle Chapman leading the McIntosh clan and Russell and Paige McIntosh. Matthew Fox is also in the cast, playing a character named Paul. Beau Garrett and Amiah Miller will play Abigail and Bridgette Reese,...

It’s time to look at the work of one of the greatest directors of our generation: Christopher Nolan. How big is Nolan these days? Interstellar, a movie which was never among the director’s top grossers, hit IMAX screens last week for its tenth anniversary, and screenings have been selling out constantly. The fact is – Nolan makes movies that belong on the big-screen, and he’s one of the few directors who’s arguably become his own franchise. For proof of that, one need only look at the fact that he’s planning a new movie, and the cast is jampacked with A-listers, because Everyone wants to work with Nolan.

A caveat – our Christopher Nolan movies ranked list is just one person’s opinion, and his work is divisive. Everyone has their favourites (and least favourites), so I’m hoping this ranking will open up some discussion in the comments below.

The 2025 Sarasota Film Festival has announced its winners, and one film in particular will draw attention for having screened to much acclaim in this bright red county, ultimately winning the top documentary prize: Kim A. Snyder’s “The Librarians,” a film that’s sounding the alarm strongly about right-wing attacks on free speech, won Best Documentary Feature, after screening at New College, a university itself subjected to a right-wing takeover and attacks on free speech.

The win for “The Librarians” caps another edition of the festival known for its strong curation (largely due to senior programmer Brian Gordon), that brings to Florida’s Gulf Coast titles from Sundance, Cannes, Palm Springs, Mill Valley, and more.

The documentary jury, comprised of freelance journalist Addie Morfoot, Impact Partners co-founder Geralyn Dreyfous, and “Lovers” director Taylor McFadden also awarded a Special Jury Mention to Sasha Wortzel’s “River of Grass,” an environmentally-focused documentary about the Everglades.

Apple TV+ has released new images from Guy Ritchie's Fountain of Youth, which is coming to the streamer on May 23. This comes not long after Apple debuted the first trailer for the film, which also confirmed its streaming-exclusive release date. Fountain of Youth follows two estranged siblings, portrayed by John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, who partner on a global heist to find the Fountain of Youth. They must use their knowledge of history to follow clues that lead them on an epic adventure that will change their lives and potentially lead to immortality. The trailer boasts hints of other iconic franchises like Indiana Jones and Uncharted while also showing off other members of the star-studded cast, such as Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, and Stanley Tucci.

Guy Ritchie is enjoying something of a streaming renaissance as of late — his most recent work comes in the form of MobLand, the Paramount+...

We have tragic news out of Hollywood today, as beloved actor Nicky Katt has passed away unexpectedly.

Over the course of his lengthy career, Katt worked with some of the industry’s most acclaimed directors, including Richard Linklater, Steven Soderbergh, Christopher Nolan, Robert Rodriguez, and David Gordon Green.

He is perhaps best known for the role of Clint Bruno, the violent partygoer who pummels Adam Goldberg’s character in the 1993 cult classic Dazed and Confused.

Born in South Dakota in 1970, Katt made his way to Hollywood at a very young age.

After beginning his career as a child star with roles on TV shows like Fantasy Island and Chips, Katt transitioned into more mature projects.

His impressive list of...

Updated with cause of death: More on the death of Nicky Katt, who faded from view around the time of the pandemic. His family confirmed on Monday, April 14, that Katt died by suicide earlier this month. His bio information was furnished by his family, and Deadline can follow with some quotes by the directors he worked with most often.

Katt was born on May 11, 1970, the son of Carol Katt, a costume designer originally from South Dakota, and Agustin Islas, the bass player for the Mexican band El Klan. Though he was born in Acapulco, he spent his childhood in Los Angeles, where he was raised by his mother. He attended Wonderland Elementary in Laurel Canyon, St. Paul’s Lutheran School in North Hollywood, and graduated from Providence High in Burbank in 1987, a year early.

Katt was named Agustin Islas, after his father, at birth, but took his mother’s surname when...

An attorney for Katt confirmed the actor’s death to The Hollywood Reporter but other confirmed details — including time, place, and cause of death — are so far unavailable. Variety notes Katt reportedly died on Tuesday, April 8, in Burbank, California. Katt joined Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, Ben Affleck, Renée Zellwager, and other future stars in Dazed and Confused, a 1993 Richard Linklater film about Austin students on their last day of high school in 1976. His tough-guy character, Clint, clashes with Adam Goldberg’s Mike in the film and delivers classic dialogue: “I only came here to do two things, man: kick some ass and drink some beer. Looks like we’re almost out of beer.” On Boston Public, a 2000 David E. Kelley drama series about a public high school, Katt played Harry Senate,...

Jessica Chastain’s talents know no bounds. She was nominated thrice at the Academy Awards, winning the Best Actress for The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Right from her debut film Jolene, her performances have caught the eyes of critics and viewers. The year 2011 was her breakout year, starring in films like Take Shelter, The Tree of Life, and The Help.

The latter film earned her first Oscar nomination. Chastain found commercial success in sci-fi films like Interstellar and The Martian. In the 2010s, Chastain appeared in films that had mostly feminist themes. She was also nominated for two BAFTA awards, two Tony Awards, and an Emmy.

Nicky Katt, an actor recognized for his work in film and television across several decades, died on April 8 in Burbank. He was 54. His death was confirmed by friends and attorney John Sloss. Official confirmation and cause of death have not been publicly disclosed.

Katt began performing as a child, with early appearances on television and small roles in Gremlins and The ’Burbs. He went on to become a regular presence in films that favored intense, edgy characters. He was known for portraying antagonists, loners, and unpredictable figures, often grounding those performances in realism and sharp timing.

One of his most widely recognized roles came on Boston Public, where he played Harry Senate, a geology teacher assigned to a group of troubled students in a basement classroom referred to as “the dungeon.” The series, created by David E. Kelley, aired in the early 2000s. After three seasons, the character was written...

Katt’s attorney, John Sloss, confirmed his death to The Hollywood Reporter but did not divulge any details.

The doors of 1923 came to a close this past weekend, but they aren’t completely locked. Taylor Sheridan is bringing another prequel into the fold that could bring back some characters from 1923. If there is one character that fans want to see back in this Western world it's Spencer Dutton.

We met Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) back in 2022 as the handsome lion hunter. It didn’t take long for him to become the face of the series next to Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford). He has even given Rip Wheeler a run for his money as the biggest hunk of the Yellowstone universe. As a war hero, he can take down any threat that comes his way and was the other half of one of the greatest Dutton love stories ever told. Even if the love story didn’t have a fairytale ending.

Still working to get official confirmation and cause of death, but I can report from sources that veteran actor Nicky Katt has passed away, at age 54. Katt will quickly to mind for his memorable turn as the high school Texan tough Clint Bruno, who picks a fight with Adam Goldberg’s Mike Newhouse, gets a beer poured over his head, and pummels the existentially tortured teen in Rick Linklater’s 1993 gem Dazed and Confused.

He was a go-to guy for Linklater and a coterie of filmmakers that includes Steven Soderbergh, Christopher Nolan, Robert Rodriguez and David Gordon Green. Each cast Katt on multiple occasions. He is also remembered for his role as Harry Senate in several seasons of Boston Public. His specialty seemed to be edgy tough guys, roles he played in films including A Time to Kill and Boiler Room.

Hollywood is popular for its red carpet award shows like the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Emmys, which come along with teary-eyed acceptance speeches celebrating cinematic masterpieces. Directors, actors, and everyone who works together to make a cinema great are acknowledged at these events.

However, to keep things in check and keep them humble, the Golden Raspberry Awards are given. This accolade celebrates cinematic missteps, films that missed the mark, and actors who delivered performances far from acting. The Raspberry Awards are the Thanos snap of Hollywood to keep things in balance.

The Razzie Awards are not just for the B-listers or the low-budget movies; lately, this award ceremony has also given its awards to top celebrities and legends, proving nobody is safe in Hollywood.

Let’s look into the list of A-listers that nobody thought would be dragged through the hall of infamy.

In Hollywood’s ever-shifting constellation of stars, Jennifer Lopez has carved out a place all her own. She sings, acts, dances, produces, and somehow makes each move feel intentional. Her style is sharp. Her presence, steady.

Her journey, though, goes far deeper than glitz and glamour. Before the world knew her name, she was a dancer with big dreams and relentless drive, slowly building her path from small TV roles to leading lady status. Along the way, she’s broken ground—not just for herself but for Latin artists everywhere—challenging old narratives and expanding what representation in film and music can look like.

Today, she’s more than just a star. She’s a storyteller, a risk-taker, a businesswoman—and someone who’s turned her creative instincts into a global legacy.

Harmony Korine’s multimedia design collective Edglrd has inked a first-look development deal with AI giant Runway. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The two companies plan to develop new projects, using Runway’s generative AI tools. Edglrd previously worked with Runway on campaigns for Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga.

“At Edglrd, we’re always experimenting with new technology and tools as we look for new ways to create images and tell stories,” Korine said in a statement on Runway’s blog. “This partnership is about exploring what’s possible.” Korine used Runway’s AI tools for his experimental project “Baby Invasion,” which he debuted last year at the Venice Film Festival.

In a statement, head of Runway Studios Jamie Umpherson said: “Partnering with Harmony is a perfect fit – as someone who has made a career out of pushing the boundaries of traditional production and story structures, his expertise is...

The Voice is spinning those red chairs once again, and Season 27 is bringing the drama, the music, and plenty of unforgettable moments! Since first hitting our screens in 2011, this fan-favorite singing competition has turned into so much more than a talent show. It’s where rising stars meet superstar coaches, where blind auditions lead to major breakthroughs, and where every episode packs in mentorship, emotion, and a whole lot of fun.

The format hasn’t changed much — and that’s a good thing! Four big-name coaches listen with their ears, not their eyes, picking singers purely based on voice. Then comes the real game: mentoring their chosen artists all the way to the finals.

For Season 27, we’ve got a lineup that’s equal parts seasoned and new. Michael Bublé, Adam Levine, John Legend, and Kelsea Ballerini are taking the reins this time around, bringing their signature styles to the table.

Matthew McConaughey didn't mean to "take a break" from film before he was cast in 'The Rivals of Amziah King'.The 55-year-old actor last had a main role in a film in 2021 but after a short hiatus, he is back starring in the Western and noted that it was the "musicality" of the story that persuaded him to sign on. He told Collider: "I didn't feel like I needed a break. I just ended up taking a break, did other things, wrote a book. I really enjoyed that. Another version of storytelling with less filters. I did a few other things there along the way, and then this came along. Original voice, original place, time, space, the language, the poetry, the musicality of it, the innocence of it, the humour of it, the wild, anarchic humor of it. A father figure and a mentor and a wild a**, Amziah King,...

Who would have thought Ant-Man would play a role in making Titanic one of the greatest films of all time? That’s right, Paul Rudd had a direct influence on Leonardo DiCaprio by helping him decide whether he should go for the James Cameron film. Titanic went down in history as one of the greatest films to hit the theater. The chemistry between Jack and Rose, the breathtaking production scale, and the emotional story of the “unsinkable ship”—everything aligned for it to become a timeless classic.

The cast, much like the story, plays a crucial role in shaping a movie’s success. Oftentimes, movies suffer due to miscasting, turning what could have been a masterpiece into a forgettable experience. Can you imagine Titanic without Leonardo DiCaprio? For many, the idea of anyone else playing Jack Dawson alongside Kate Winslet seems almost unthinkable.

What Do We Know About the upcoming Dcu original series Lanterns? More thank you may think. The HBO series will be the first live-action project on television from James Gunn’s rebooted DC cinematic universe. With casting announcements, rumors, and more, we know a lot of what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss Lanterns.

We will see multiple Green Lanterns

While we met several members of the Green Lantern Corps in the Ryan Reynolds-led feature film, this new series is intentionally plural, as we will meet more than just Hal Jordan. According to James Gunn, Lanterns will center on Jon Stewart, who briefly appeared in Zack Snyder’s Justice League in a non-speaking role. We also know that James Gunn’s longtime friend and collaborator Nathan Fillion is portraying Lanterns hero Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman movie and will potentially appear.

Interstellar Explained

Hoping that by now you would have seen Christopher Nolan’s space film, Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Michael Caine. I have tried to dissect and explain the ending of Interstellar in a lucid manner from my understanding. I will not get into nuances of science about the Wormholes and Black Holes so you can study them separately here. Christopher Nolan himself stated,” People are always accusing my films of having plot holes, and I’m very aware of the plot holes in my films and very aware of when people spot them, but they generally don’t. But what were some science issues people had with the film? That was Kip’s domain.” I also want to add that this is a science Fiction movie, not a documentary on space that could have an accuracy of a cent percentage.

Interstellar is a big-budget science fiction...

The ten-year anniversary celebrations for director Christopher Nolan's epic science-fiction film Interstellar are showing no signs of abating. Not too long after the movie was re-released in theaters worldwide, it entered a rather exclusive list on the platform Letterboxd, where users can log, review, and rate films. Interstellar is now among only three titles on the platform with over five million views. Released in 2014, the film featured Matthew McConaughey as a NASA astronaut who goes on a mission to find a habitable new planet for a severely endangered humankind.

On Monday, Letterboxd announced that Interstellar had become the latest film to achieve over 5 million views, joining Greta Gerwig's Barbie and David Fincher's Fight Club. It's an eclectic list that reflects the diverse tastes of the platform's users. While Interstellar is a philosophical big screen spectacle, Barbie is a satirical comedy drama, and Fight Club is the definition of a cult hit.
