Williams plays a sheriff, who looks into the matter, while Montgomery plays the mother’s drug dealer.

“Gravitas is thrilled to be releasing ‘What We Hide’ to audiences this summer. This emotional and devastating thriller casts a light on the harm substance abuse can have on an entire family and community. Audiences will be blown away by the impressive and heartfelt performances by McKenna Grace,...

There's a school of screenwriting thought that holds you should always know your ending. If you know where you're headed narratively, you should be spared a lot of guesswork and time spent wandering in the forest looking for a way out. That's the rationale, at least.

Many times, however, you discover over the course of your writing that your characters want different things than you expected, which throws your perfect ending into doubt. Suddenly, you realize your story would be way more interesting and dramatically satisfying if they either didn't succeed or succeeded in a completely different manner than you'd initially planned. And sometimes it just makes more sense to leave things unresolved.

The "New Hollywood" cinema of the 1970s was famous for ambiguous endings (because everyone was bummed out by the Vietnam War and Nixon's corruption), but the triumphal finales of blockbusters like "Jaws," "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope...

Moon Knight received largely positive reviews when the series premiered on Disney+ in 2022. However, in the years that followed, the Marvel character's future has been uncertain.

Although there have been no official talks about what comes next, director Mohamed Diab says he hopes to get another opportunity to work on a follow-up to the series. "You never know. With Marvel, nothing is called finished," he told Deadline. "There could be a film, or he could go into another universe. Right now, nothing is in talks, but definitely with Moon Knight, I would love to be involved in anything else, and it could happen for sure. I have a great relationship with them," he added.

One of the strongest gods in the entire Marvel Universe is at the center of an Asgardian jailbreak, and his return could be a serious problem.

Along the way, their father (Tommy Lee Jones) and a young woman (Jenna Ortega) get caught in the crossfire, putting everyone’s relationships and lives on the line.

Emma Heming shares important message about frontotemporal dementia during Ftd awareness week on NBC's Today Show. Heming emphasizes the importance of explaining the disease to their daughters to avoid stigma or shame attached to their dad's diagnosis. Heming praises Bruce Willis' willpower and resilience in dealing with the disease, stating that he is the gift that keeps on giving for their family.

Emma Heming, wife of the popular and highly praised actor Bruce Willis, shares an important message about frontotemporal dementia during Ftd awareness week. Earlier this year, Willis announced to the world that he would be retiring from acting as he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. On September 24, Ftd Awareness week began, so Emma Heming appeared on NBC's Today Show to talk about how her family is dealing with the actor's illness:

"The most important thing was to be able, for us, to say what the disease was,...

Movies about possession and exorcism must scratch a very particular itch for American viewers. Going back to the mother of that horror subgenre, "The Exorcist," you can see one of the biggest box office hits of 1973, and in the fifty years since, many movies have played with that premise. A filmmaker can do it relatively cheaply, often just needing to rely on fearless performers willing to contort themselves and speak in tongues. And seeing an ordered world enter total disarray is what horror is all about.

William Brent Bell's 2012 film "The Devil Inside" took that to heart, dealing with the threat of possession through a mockumentary, found-footage lens. In the movie's universe, it's a documentary about Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) as she investigates her mother, particularly the grisly murders she committed when Isabella was a child. The mockumentary takes the form not just of a horror movie, but of an expose,...

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. alum Adrianne Palicki recently discussed the ABC series' unrealized spinoff, Marvel's Most Wanted, hinting that she thinks canceling the show may have been a mistake on Disney's part.

Palicki starred on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Barbara "Bobbi" Morse, who Marvel Comics fans will also know as Mockingbird and/or Agent 19. During an interview with Den of Geek, the actor fondly recalled her time playing Bobbi Morse, saying she "loved" working on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and remains good friends with co-stars Ming-Na Wen, Henry Simmons and Nick Blood. Notably, Blood would have starred opposite Palicki on Most Wanted, which shot a pilot but was never picked up as a full series.

Exclusive: Buchwald has upped veteran talent agents Angelo Padilla and Marion Campbell Kammer to Senior Vice President of Talent and Vice President of Talent, respectively. Both are based in the agency’s Los Angeles office.

Padilla has been a rising star at the agency, where he started as an agent in 2011. Padilla began his agency career at ICM where he trained under agent Toni Howard before being promoted in 2007 in the Motion Picture Talent Department. He also had a stint at Greene & Associates Talent Agency before joining Buchwald. Padilla began his career in casting at Cfb Casting.

Padilla has built a roster of clients that includes Essence Atkins (Untitled Wayans, Marlon), Rachel Blanchard (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Neil Brown Jr., Jake Cannavale (The Offer), David Castañeda, Matt Cedeño, Maria Gabriela de Faria, Kimberly Hebert Gregory (Vice Principals), Tim Jo (Reasonable Doubt), Marvin Jones, Richard T.

“Angelo and Marion exemplify many of the qualities we value at Buchwald. Their promotions are a direct reflection of their consistent and ongoing commitment to hard work, collaboration, and leadership. One of the most exciting and gratifying components of our continued evolution is getting to acknowledge those who make an extraordinary contribution to our growth and success. In elevating them, we elevate the company,” said Julia Buchwald and Ryan Martin in a joint statement.

Buchwald recently upped Rob Kim to its management team as co-head of the agency’s west coast office, where he serves in this position alongside Ryan Martin and Julia Buchwald, who also serves as the agency’s president.

Assassin is a sci-fi thriller directed by Jesse Atlas starring Bruce Willis and Dominic Purcell.

Assassin leads us, admittedly poignantly, to the terrible conclusion that a science fiction film can be anything but pedestrian.

And this one has that terrible flaw – that it contains no new ideas other than in its initial premise.

The rest, scenes strung together are more or less well done.

Assassin Film Review

It starts out from a good idea that, carried forward with absolutely no originality, limits itself to ticking off the passing minutes and burning itself up upon the assumptions of a thriller that, scene by scene, is not bad, but lacks substance when viewed as a whole.

A film that does not want to, does not know how to – or just simply fails to – stand out and make an impact, a film shot with the lightness of a professional who performs a routine,...

It has been rather bewildering to witness no less than two dozen low-budget action movies involving Bruce Willis being churned out over the last three years. That legacy-dimming run ends with “Assassin,” which arrives almost exactly one annum after his family announced a retirement due to diagnosis of cognitive disorder aphasia. Like nearly every preceding opus featuring the erstwhile global superstar in roles of prominent billing but little screentime, this rote genre exercise is little more than a time-killer, and as such a regrettable close to a significant career. Saban Films is releasing it to U.S. theaters, digital and VOD platforms on March 31.

Screen Rant is thrilled to present an exclusive clip from Bruce Willis' final film, Assassin, which will be available in select theaters as well as on digital platforms on March 31. The espionage adventure is directed by Jesse Atlas from a screenplay by Atlas and Aaron Wolfe, with whom the director has previously collaborated on a few shorts. Assassin takes place in a futuristic timeline that has given birth to technology allowing people to take over someone else's body.

Willis plays Valmora in Assassin, and he is the man in charge of the high-tech, undercover operation associated with the microchip technology. Alexa, meanwhile, is the wife of an agent who was killed during a mission. Seeking justice against the person responsible, she agrees to take his place and swap bodies herself. Assassin also stars Upload's Andy Allo as the mission-ready Alexa, Legends of Tomorrow's Dominic Purcell, and Moon Knight's Fernanda Andrade.

Fox is cutting two of its fall dramas short.

The network has announced it has canceled Filthy Rich and NeXt, just weeks after their respective debuts on the network.

Variety reported the news first, saying that increased costs due to the Covid-19 pandemic played a huge part in the decision.

Based on the New Zealand series, Filthy Rich is a southern gothic dramedy revolves around two strong, sharp women who will go to any lengths to protect their loved ones and get their due.

When the wealthy CEO of the world's largest Christian network dies in a plane crash, his wife and adult children are stunned to discover he has grown, illegitimate kids who also are in his will.

Can a creator outsmart his creation in the first season of the neXt TV show on Fox?

The cancellation axe has started swinging early this year: Fox has cancelled freshman dramas Filthy Rich and Next, just weeks after their respective fall debuts. Our sister site Variety was the first to report the news, adding that “rising production costs due to the Covid-19 pandemic played a significant part in the decision.”

Both series will air any remaining episodes.

Filthy Rich and NeXt are both ending after one season on Fox, Deadline has confirmed.

The network will not renew either series for a second season, though both shows will see out their current runs. Low ratings — both shows are averaging a 0.5/3 in the adults 18-49 demo — and uncertainty are behind the cancellation of the series, which were both originally intended for summer runs.

NeXt has aired three episodes of its 10-episode order, while Filthy Rich has aired five of its 10 episodes.

Created by Tate Taylor, Filthy Rich stars Sex and the City alumna Kim Cattrall as Margaret Monreaux, the matriarch of a mega-rich Southern family famous for creating a wildly successful Christian television network. After her husband dies in a plane crash, Margaret and family are stunned to learn that he fathered three illegitimate children, all of whom are written into his will — threatening their family name and fortune.

Neither “Filthy Rich” nor “Next” will be getting second seasons at Fox.

The network has decided to cancel both series after only a single season, Variety has learned exclusively. Sources say that rising production costs due to the Covid-19 pandemic played a significant part in the decision. Fox will air the remaining episodes of both shows, which were held back for fall due to the pandemic situation.

“Filthy Rich” and “Next” failed to draw strong enough audience responses to merit a second outing, with “Filthy Rich” averaging only 3.2 million viewers and a 0.5 rating among adults 18-49 after seven days of delayed viewing, and “Next” drawing only 2.8 million viewers per episode and the same rating in delayed. News of the dual cancelation comes only five episodes into the run of “Filthy Rich,” and after only two episodes of “Next” have seen air on the network.

What's This TV Show About?

Airing on the Fox television network, the neXt TV show stars John Slattery, Elizabeth Cappuccino, Jason Butler Harner, Fernanda Andrade, Eve Harlow, Aaron Moten, Michael Mosley, Evan Whitten, and Gerardo Celasco. The story revolves around Silicon Valley pioneer Paul LeBlanc (Slattery) who built a fortune and his legacy on his world-changing innovations. After discovering that one of his own creations -- a powerful artificial intelligence called “neXt” -- might spell doom...

Ordered to series back in May of the year 2019, Fox’s Next (fka neXt) at long last made its debut on Tuesday night. Will you be tuning in for the… er, subsequent episode?

Next stars Fernanda Andrade (The First, Here and Now) as Shea Salazar, an FBI agent who puts a pin in a year-long trafficking investigation/imminent bust to look into the mysterious death of a father figure, Dr. Richard Weiss, who survived being T-boned by a car that (we saw) had been remotely “hacked” into, only to die at the hospital when an unseen “something” shut of all...

When John Slattery is standing in front of a giant screen, “neXt” is a pretty engaging television show. So it’s no surprise the new Fox drama chooses that way to open its pilot episode, with Slattery’s tech billionaire Paul LeBlanc speaking to a gathered group about the impending perils of innovation and how we’re all basically doomed.

What follows is a TV thriller centered on the hunt for an algorithmic super-intelligence; a self-learning program that the series’ main characters believe is murdering people to protect its secrets. In the process, “neXt” is a serial killer story and a detective show and a prophet of catastrophe, delivered together in one-hour chunks.

LeBlanc’s alarm-sounding eventually weaves its way into the work of Shea Salazar (Fernanda Andrade), leader of an FBI cybercrime task force based out of Portland. Along with a main trio of fellow investigators and experts, Salazar...

If you weren’t already afraid of the possibility of artificial intelligence turning on us, then Fox’s new John Slattery sci-fi series about a superintelligence called neXt, and aptly titled “neXt,” might be what gets you to that point.

In TheWrap’s exclusive clip from the series premiere, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c, you’ll see Slattery’s Silicon Valley pioneer character, Paul LeBlanc, explain to Special Agent Shea Salazar (Fernanda Andrade) how it would be possible for an A.I. to make itself “smart enough to hunt down and kill someone.” Which is apparently what happened to a friend of hers, but she’s not ready to buy what he’s selling — just yet.

The fictional A.I. at the center of “neXt” is, well, fictional, but that doesn’t mean you won’t hear many references to its real-life counterparts, like Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri.

After decades of speculative fiction about technology coming to get us, “Next” wants to take it to a whole new level. What if, rather than a single piece of tech, an extremely advanced artificial intelligence program became so smart that it could hack the entire plugged-in world? What if it wasn’t just your phone coming to get you, but absolutely anything with an internet connection? In 2020, that’s a terrifying prospect, and one “Next” exploits with intense, frantic urgency.

From “24” producer Manny Coto, Fox’s “ten-episode event series” wastes no time unfolding this technological nightmare to everyone’s mounting alarm. Silicon Valley innovator Paul LeBlanc (John Slattery) immediately recognizes the malicious AI system (called “neXt”) as the threat it is, though he has trouble at first convincing FBI cyber crimes agent Shea Salazar (Fernanda Andrade) to take it seriously. After all, neXt is effectively invisible — and therefore very tricky...

The Paley Center for Media’s annual fall television event has moved beyond “previews.” This year, the robust slate will include some sneak peeks at upcoming series, such as Hulu’s “Monsterland” and Netflix’s “Emily in Paris,” but it is also celebrating shows that already launched — and weeks earlier — such as Netflix’s “Away,” Fox’s “Filthy Rich” and HBO’s “We Are Who We Are.”

Still dubbed the 14th annual PaleyFest Fall TV Previews, the festival is going virtual this year, in accordance with ongoing health and safety concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic. All panels will be viewable on official sponsor Verizon’s Yahoo Entertainment Channel. Citi returns as the official card of the festival and its members can preview panels first, as of today, Sept. 29 at 10 a.m. Et. The panels will then be live for the public starting on Friday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. Et, with...

The wait is nearly over for the NeXt TV show. The Fox series, which stars John Slattery, was first announced back in May 2019 and was expected to air in early 2020. The premiere was delayed and then, because of the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing shortage of original programming, the network decided to hold back the thriller series until Fall 2020.

Today, Fox announced that NeXt will debut on Tuesday, October 6th, at 9:00 Pm. A panel about the series will be released this Sunday, July 26th. Here's some additional information, as well as a series trailer:

If you have a computer, a cell phone, an Alexa or a Google Nest, you might be interested in the new Fox series, Next.

Maybe you just have an onboard computer in your car. You should still be interested.

We've seen the damage hacking can do on a small level and on a larger scale.

But what if the AI we've given to these computers to make our days easier begins to grow on its own?

Do we know for sure that it's not possible? Of course, we don't.

That's why shows like Westworld capture the imagination.

Now, Fox is going there with Next, and the full trailer for the new series looks tremendous.

Fox is moving John Slattery-fronted thriller NeXt to Tuesday nights in a minor shuffle of its fall schedule.

The network will launch the drama, which was held over from last broadcast season, on Tuesday October 6 at 9 pm. It takes the slot previously designated from Filthy Rich, which was also held over, after the broadcast debut of Cosmos: Possible Worlds at 8pm.

News on Filthy Rich’s premiere date is expected shortly.

NeXt comes from creator and executive producer Manny Coto (24: Legacy) and executive producers and directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (This Is Us).

A fact-based thriller about the emergence of a deadly, rogue artificial intelligence that combines action with an examination of how technology is invading our lives and transforming us in ways we don’t yet understand.

Mad Men alum Slattery stars as a Silicon Valley pioneer, who discovers that one of his own creations – a powerful A.

An overly chatty Alexa might want to get an agent, seeing as the creator of Next says that the smart home device helped sire Fox’s new fall drama.

“My son has an Alexa in his room, and one morning he was looking very tired [and] he was like, ‘Alexa started talking to me at 3 am.’ That happened a couple of times,” exec producer Manny Coto (24: Legacy) shares in the video above — which, yes, was shot one year ago at the San Diego Comic-Con (in San Diego), hence the now-discomfiting references to crowded elevators and bus stops [shudder]. “That immediately...

This year’s virtual Comic-Con@Home has announced its schedule for Sunday, July 26. The highlights are below.

The virtual event replaces the annual San Diego Comic-Con, the largest fan convention in North America, which was to be held July 22–26 at the San Diego Convention Center, until the Covid-19 pandemic forced its cancellation.

In June, Comic-Con International — the non-profit organization that oversees Sdcc and its sister event, WonderCon in Anaheim, Calif. — announced it was moving forward with the virtual event on the same dates. This time, however, the event is free and open to all.

Sunday’s events include a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” anniversary panel, a “Next” panel, a “Wakanda Forever!” panel about the psychology of “Black Panther” and a conversation about the making of the animated series “Hoops.”

The full Comic-Con@Home schedule — including Wednesday, July 22, Thursday, July 23, Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25 — was announced daily through the week.

It’s a Comic-Con first: This year, fans worldwide will be able to partake in the pop culture extravaganza for free and from the comfort of their couches, as the annual event shifts to an at-home virtual edition as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic. Instead of having to flock to San Diego, TV aficionados will be able to watch a series of streaming panels via YouTube, taking place Wednesday, July 22 through Sunday, July 26.*

To help you navigate Comic-Con @ Home, we’ve compiled all the major TV-related events. We’ll be updating this post as more panels (and specific day/times) are officially announced,...
