‘Write what you know’ goes the old adage, and Hollywood scribes have long dipped their sharp quills into the inky working methods and attitudes of their own industry. And it’s not about to stop anytime soon — as Hollywood continues to navigate the seismic changes of #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, streaming platforms, the pandemic and the SAG-AFTRA strike. And just as Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ series The Studio gears up for its finale, we now have Nadia Conners’ heartfelt comedy-drama The Uninvited landing in cinemas to take its turn peering beyond the veneer.

Conners is married in real life to Walton Goggins, who thanks to the likes of The White Lotus has found himself the man-of-the-moment at 53. She therefore knows of what she speaks when offering this tale of once-celebrated theatre actress Rose (Elizabeth Reaser), now in her forties and unable to catch a gig. While she’s just...

The Emmy race for Best Drama Actor just received a shot of adrenaline.

For the first time since Gold Derby's 2025 Emmys predictions center opened in February, Noah Wyle is leading the odds in this topsy-turvy category. The Pitt star has overtaken Adam Scott (Severance), who has been in the No. 1 position since early March. Before that, Gary Oldman (Slow Horses) was the frontrunner.

Max's real-time hospital drama has been on a major upswing since its final episodes streamed in April. In one buzzed-about moment, Wyle's character, Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, had a mental breakdown after a concert shooting brought dozens of patients into his emergency room, including his quasi-stepson's new girlfriend. Wyle is a five-time Emmy nominee for ER (1995-99), but this would be his first win.

For Best Drama Series, The Pitt is now tied with The Last of Us in second place, both behind Severance. Taylor Dearden as...

Walton Goggins has been an icon in Hollywood for the past two decades, but there is one thing he has never done -- work with his wife. Goggins is married to filmmaker Nadia Conners, and the two finally come together on a new venture. The Fallout actor spoke to GamesRadar+ about the experience of making the comedy The Uninvited. Not to be confused with the horror movie of the same name, the film was inspired by a real occurrence at the couple’s home and has since been remolded for artistic and entertainment value. This undertaking was a change of pace for Goggins, as he told the outlet.

"To collaborate with your spouse, I had never done that before. I sought some counsel from other friends that are are regular collaborators with their significant other. And both Nadia and I are Scorpios, separated really by two days. You know, she's November.

Exclusive: Heading into Cannes, Andrew Herwitz’s The Film Sales Company has acquired worldwide sales rights to Holocaust documentary This Ordinary Thing and horror thriller Thinestra.

Herwitz will screen both films twice, starting with This Ordinary Thing on May 13. Nick Davis directed theAl Tapper Productions feature thatexplores acts of selflessness and humanity exhibited by Europeans who risked their lives to house Jewish strangers during the Holocaust.

Featuring previously unseen archival footage, This Ordinary Thing brings the stories to life with the help of Jeremy Irons, Helen Mirren, F.Murray Abraham, Ellen Burstyn, Rufus Sewell, Lily Tomlin, Stephen Fry and other actors.

Directed by Nadia Conners and produced by Rosie Fellner, Carlos Cuscó and Ari Taboada, The Uninvited stars Elizabeth Reaser, Walton Goggins, Pedro Pascal, Lois Smith and Rufus Sewell.

This funny yet poignant story follows Rose (Reaser), a one-time actress who has transitioned to life as a stay-at-home mother. As she gets her house ready for a work party her husband (Goggins) is hosting, an older woman named Helen (Smith) shows up, insisting she’s come back to her house. This sudden arrival, along with other tricky people from both her past and present, turns the evening into a chaotic one. Through the night’s events, Rose is compelled to face her own self-doubts and think deeply about her experiences as a woman. The film playfully pokes fun at Hollywood’s obsession with beauty while also celebrating the multifaceted nature of being a woman. It delves into ideas around motherhood and...

An agent hosts a fancy soiree in the Hollywood Hills in this gently incisive drama about the privileged class, written and directed by Nadia Conners

As the sun goes down in the Hollywood Hills, talent agent Sammy (Walton Goggins) and his actor wife Rose (Elizabeth Reaser) prepare for a house party they are throwing. It’s pretty quickly apparent that, despite Sammy’s sudden lustful lunges at his wife and her tinkling laughter, there is plenty of backstory to be revealed behind the landscaped garden succulents. Sammy’s career is in trouble and he is worried about retaining his star client, megalomaniac director Gerald (Rufus Sewell). Rose is not getting cast much these days, and while she dotes on their only child Wilder (Roland Rubio), she misses her career. Up-and-coming star Delia (Eva De Dominici) is coming by for the evening, as is big-time movie star Lucien (Pedro Pascal), who...

A decades-long star is heading from the courtroom to the Cold War. Law & Orderstar Tony Goldwynhas been cast in Walden Media and Weed Road Pictures' upcoming spy thriller filmBillion Dollar Spy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actor has been tapped for the project alongside two other big names: Rufus Sewell and Justin Theroux. All three of them will join the previously announced Russell Crowe, who will star in the film. Fans won't have to wait long, either, as it was also announced that filming on the project has begun.

The film will tell the true story of Adolf Tolkachev, a Soviet citizen who became disillusioned with his country and decided to become a CIA asset. Tolkachev risked his life to pass thousands of pages of top-secret intelligence to the United States. A portrait of Tolkachev, with spy camera in hand, still hangs in the CIA's Langley, Virginia, headquarters. His...

Two of the stars of The Last of Us are on the rise this week in Gold Derby's Emmy predictions.

Pedro Pascal, whose beloved character Joel had a brutal run-in with a golf club in the second episode of Season 2, has jumped from fourth place to third place in Best Drama Actor. Meanwhile, series newcomer Isabela Merced, who plays the free-spirited zombie apocalypse survivor Dina, has ascended from ninth place to eighth place in Best Drama Supporting Actress. This would be Pascal's fourth career Emmy bid after receiving three in 2023 for The Last of Us, Saturday Night Live, and Patagonia; Merced is seeking her first nomination.

Series lead Bella Ramsey is still in second place in Best Drama Actress, behind only Kathy Bates (Matlock), who has claimed the No. 1 position since we began tracking the 2025 Emmys. Ramsey's defiant character Ellie must now learn how to survive without her father figure in her life.

The word “trouble” captures the essence of The Trouble with Jessica, a darkly comedic and wildly chaotic story that spirals into mayhem during one unforgettable dinner party. Divided into chapters, all with “The Trouble with…” in their titles, the initial chapter introduces the titular flirtatious (and irritating) dinner guest. As the night goes on, the titles—including one on moving a dead body through London at night—reflect the increasing turmoil. The ensemble is tossed into a pressure cooker of secrets, lies, backstabbing, heartfelt confessions, and sheer panic as writer/director Matt Winn serves up a bizarre and hilarious exploration of guilt, friendship, and the desperate lengths people will go to to protect themselves from their unjustifiable decisions.

The Trouble with Jessica kicks off with a dinner party hosted...

The cavernous Washington Hilton ballroom for this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner was still filled, despite no Potus on the bill, no comedian, and few administration figures or members of Congress drawing attention in the crowd.

“I’m told that we’re the entertainment for the evening, so this is what you get,” quipped BBC News’ Anthony Zurcher, one of the evening’s honorees.

That the spotlight this year was on award recipients, scholarship winners and a final speech from Whca President Eugene Daniels is one of the better outcomes for the association, under attack from the Trump White House, determined to marginalize the mainstream media as biased and elitist.

Guests still walked the red carpet to show off their tuxes and gowns, and the Whca even added an additional step and repeat backdrop for the journalism rank and file to get their own Instagram shots. One of...

The British dark comedy The Trouble With Jessica has trouble for all, in a satirical tale where a dinner party between old friends goes so very, very wrong. Director Matt Winn’s dark tale features a starry British cast, with Rufus Sewell, Shirley Henderson, Alan Tudyk and Olivia Williams, with Indira Varma as Jessica. The trouble with Jessica (Indira Varma) is that she is a lot of trouble, something which architect Tom (Alan Tudyk) and wife Sarah (Shirley Henderson) already have in abundance. And what happens when she comes to dinner is even more trouble. However, the film The Trouble With Jessica has plenty of troubles of its own.

Tom and Sarah appear to have a comfortable life but they are in a terrible financial bind, due to a...

Netflix is cranking out new shows every single week. It's easy to miss something that you might love. While many Netflix shows benefit from word-of-mouth promotion, a lot of good Netflix shows slip through the cracks and don't get in front of the right viewers. Even as the biggest streaming service in the world, Netflix still has a problem informing its users about the original shows they might like.

I've been covering Netflix for a long time, and I wanted to share a few good Netflix shows that most people haven't seen yet. By now, most of the shows are at least a few months old. Some are even a few years old at this point, but they still make for a good watch on Netflix.

So, if you're looking for a good Netflix show to watch right now, we have a list of six picks for you! Let's get...

Three faith-based films from two independent distributors hit the top ten, a pair of Indian pics popped and traditional indies flexed at a rapidly improving box office.

Angel Studios’ The King Of Kings is looking at a $19 million weekend on 3,200 screens, its widest opening yet and the highest grossing debut of a faith-based animated film. The story of Jesus told by Charles Dickens to his young son topped the previous record holder, The Prince of Egypt from DreamWorks Animation back in 1998, for a no. 2 domestic box office berth.

Fathom Entertainment’s The Chosen franchise has its two latest installments in the top ten. Just released The Chosen: Last Supper (Season 5) Part 3 grossed $6 million on 2,296 screens at no. 6. And last weekend’s holdover The Chosen: Last Supper (Season 5) Part 2 nabbed $932k on 622 screens for an $11.4 million cume, rounding out the top ten. It’s the second double dip in a row...

"The Uninvited” written and directed by Nadia Conners, is a new comedy feature, starring Elizabeth Reaser, Walton Goggins, Lois Smith, Eva De Dominici, Rufus Sewell, Michael Panes, Kate Comer, Roland Rubio, Annie Kurzen and Pedro Pascal, opening April 11, 2025 in theaters:

“…’Rose’ and ‘Sammy’ enjoy an idyllic life with love, a Hollywood Hills home, and a curious son. During a party, Sammy assigns the unusual significance to it, while Rose juggles preparations amid distractions.

“But the unexpected arrival of ‘Helen’, claiming residence there, oscillates between confusion & lucidity. Strangely, Helen possesses intimate knowledge of the house and its guests: an ‘Ingenue’, a director, and Rose's former flame.

“Helen's revelations during the party spark drama, unearthing hidden truths and compelling Rose to confront her past, future, and the desire for change…”

The latest blockbuster on the block, A Minecraft Movie, will likely top the box office charts in its sophomore weekend after delivering record numbers in its debut frame. It'll compete against a handful of new releases, including the spy thriller The Amateur, the war movie Warfare, and the horror film Drop. But did you know that there is another film debuting theatrically this week; one starring perhaps the two hottest male actors right now? The Uninvited, a comedy-drama that premiered at the South By Southwest Festival last year, features Pedro Pascaland Walton Goggins as part of its ensemble cast. The movie will receive a limited release on Friday.

What also sets The Uninvited apart from its fellow newbies — barring the presence of Pascal and Goggins — is the excellent response that it is debuting to. It currently holds a "fresh" 100% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, albeit with just seven reviews currently listed.

Arguably the most talked-about moment (that didn't involve a death or tainted coconut milk) from Sunday's The White Lotus finale was when Carrie Coon's Laurie delivered her "I have no belief system" monologue to Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) on their final night in Thailand. The awards buzz immediately started on social media, with fans suggesting it was a "give me that Emmy" type of speech. Take a look:

2001’s A Knight’s Tale, starring Heath Ledger, is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time. More on the release here.

Fairly recently on the Film Stories podcast (in this episode here), I dug into the story of 2001’s much-loved A Knight’s Tale. Directed by Brian Helgeland and with a cast led by the much-missed Heath Ledger, it’s a really entertaining blockbuster, that’s very much stood the test of time. Attempts to get a sequel off the ground have failed, but there’s now a stage musical, and – relevant to this story – the film is making its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut.

Arriving in Steelbook form first, the movie has been scheduled for release on 19th May 2025. You can find the listing for it, and order yourself a copy, right here.

The previous DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film were generous when it came to extra features,...

Don't kill me, but Mickey 17reminds me of Old. You know, the M. Night Shyamalan movie about the beach that makes you old? How could this be?Mickey 17 is, like, a real movie! It follows a man named Mickey who decides to become an "Expendable," a functional human guinea pig who is (rather painfully) killed and reprinted repeatedly for the sake of medical research trials. Like many of director Bong Joon-Ho's films, Mickey 17 serves as a biting social commentary on the modern workforce and colonialism.

Meanwhile, Shyamalan is a director whose movies are similarly known for their social reflexivity, if not in a less serious fashion. Shyamalan's topical observations usually come in the form of twists,such as in his (infamously) popular modern classic, Old. In fact, there are quite a few thematic similarities between Mickey 17 and Old, despite one being one of the highest-anticipated movies...

In 1982, a visionary sci-fi future noir film called Blade Runner opened in theatres and bombed. Years later, it not only developed a cult following, but critics also cite it as one of the greatest and most influential science fiction films of all time. In 1998, Alex Proyas’ Dark City had a similar release and reception. Audiences balked, but critics recognized the film as a visionary masterpiece. Roger Ebert named it the best film of the year.

Now, almost 30 years later, Dark City has undergone a renaissance similar to that of Blade Runner. In addition to an ardent cult following, audiences have discovered the power of the film. Critics recognize it as one of the greatest sci-fi movies, the legacy of which continues to this day. With undeniable influence, rich atmosphere and provocative philosophy, it too deserves a place in the Great Movies canon.

The Diplomat is expected to return to Netflix in 2025 with a season 3 of the political thriller starring Keri Russell as the US ambassador to the UK, Kat Wyler, and Rufus Sewell as her husband, Hal. After the explosive ending of season 2, which revealed betrayal and possibly left many essential characters for dead, the series is prepared to bring an even more exciting third season.

The ending of season 2 revealed the shocking news that it wasn’t Iran or Russia that ordered the British aircraft blown up, but it was British prime minister Nicol Trowbridge, played by Rory Kinnear. It also seems that he is the one who ordered another explosion; this one aimed at killing Hal Wyler (Sewell), deputy chief of mission Stuart Hayford (Ato Essandoh), office clerk Ronnie (Jess Chanliau), and MP Merritt Grove (Simon Chandler).

At the same time that Kate learns that Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney...

Writer/director Nadia Conners is shining a light on the dark side of being a woman in Los Angeles amid the Hollywood elite — and what better way to satirize your surroundings than by including them in a meta film?

Conners makes her narrative feature debut with buzzy film “The Uninvited,” which premiered at SXSW 2024. “The White Lotus” Season 3 star Walton Goggins, who is married to Conners in real life, leads the film alongside Elisabeth Reaser, who plays Conners’ semi surrogate. The onscreen couple host a dinner party for their actor pals, only to have the evening interrupted by a past lover (played by none other than Pedro Pascal), a former client, and a confused elderly woman who incites a group existential crisis.

Zero Day is one of Netflix's most popular and talked about shows at the moment, which doesn't come as a surprise given its compelling storyline and amazingly talented cast. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show starring big names such as Robert De Niro, Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, etc.?

The entire first season of the new political thriller dropped on Netflix on Feb. 20, and with just six episodes, it didn't take long for viewers to binge-watch the whole installment. As expected, many rushed to search for details about a potential second season. However, they may not find the news they were hoping for. With Zero Day being billed as a limited series, the chances of it returning with a new season are slim, as its storyline is intended to be a self-contained narrative.

Created by Alexi Hawley, The Recruit finally returned for a second season and has continued to sit comfortably on Netflix’s Top 10 watchlist since last month. The series is a spy adventure that follows a lawyer named Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo), who began working for the CIA immediately after graduating from Georgetown Law. In the show’s first season, he encounters an Eastern European asset who demands to be freed from prison, which causes his life to take a drastic turn. As the woman threatens to extort the powers that be, Owen discovers the full extent of her relationship with the CIA. As such, he subsequently becomes entangled in the complexities of international politics as he attempts to negotiate with the asset. In doing so, he positions himself in opposition to some dangerous people despite doing his best to fulfill his duties with the CIA.

The show’s second season...

The second season of The Diplomat premiered in the fall of 2024, with the web of political intrigue being woven around Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), becoming ever more complicated. By the time the season ended its run, President Rayburn (Michael McKean) had suffered a heart attack and died, with Kate's husband, Hal's (Rufus Sewell) inability to stick to a well laid out plan, playing a significant role. With a conspiracy at the very highest points of political power in the United States of America, Kate will have her hands full when the show returns for a third season. However, that won't be the only complicated issue she gets to deal with.
