Jude Law is enjoying a rare day out with his wife.

The 51-year-old Sherlock Holmes actor and wife Phillipa Coan were all smiles as they held hands and went for a walk together on Monday afternoon (August 19) in New York City.

For their outing, Jude wore an all black outfit while Phillippa donned a navy dress.

If you didn’t know, Jude and Phillipa met in 2015 and married in 2019. The following year, Jude confirmed that he and Phillipa had welcomed their first child together. In February 2023, it was speculated that the couple had welcomed a second child, but they have never addressed the rumors.

While some people were already starting to discover who Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega is and what her talents are, she officially made a name for herself after taking on the starring role of Wednesday Addams in the popular Netflix horror-comedy series Wednesday. Now, there's word that she could be potentially starring in an upcoming secret movie from J.J. Abrams. More on this below.

The movie is untitled at the moment, but Abrams is said to be making it for Warner Bros. He penned the script and will produce it through his Bad Robot film and television production company. He will also direct. We first learned of this film back in May 2024. At the time, it was revealed that Twisters' Glen Powell was in early talks to star in the film.

The film follows Becket Redfellow (Powell), heir to a multibillion-dollar fortune, who will stop at nothing to get what he deserves … or what he thinks he deserves. Details as to all other roles are under wraps.

Details on the characters they’ll be playing have not been revealed.

Drawing inspiration from the 1949 crime comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets, Huntington will see Powell taking on the role of Becket Redfellow, the heir to a multi-billion-dollar fortune who will stop at nothing to get what he deserves… Or what he thinks he deserves.

Masters of the Air was a labor of love for executive producers Gary Goetzman, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. The Apple TV+ series marks the third and final installment of the trio’s war drama miniseries, after Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

The series took three years to create and cost between $250 million and $300 million to produce, including a hefty $60 million in Covid compliance costs to film during the pandemic. The result was an epic nine-part series with 325 speaking parts and an amazing cast of up-and-coming actors.

“The best stories are from history,” said Goetzman during a discussion at the Deadline and Apple TV+ event Inside the Finale, joined by series cast members Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner, Rafferty Law, Josiah Cross, Nate Mann and Anthony Boyle. “Nonfiction is always more fascinating than fiction, and there’s no greater stories of human cost, triumph, passion, love… the biggest story of...

In the wake of the debut of Masters of the Air, Apple TV+ will stream The Bloody Hundredth, a new documentary honoring the real-life heroes of the 100th Bomb Group.

Produced by Playtone-Amblin and narrated by Tom Hanks, The Bloody Hundredth will premiere globally on Friday, March 15 – around the time of the Masters of the Air series finale.

It’s executive produced by Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman.

Directed by Mark Herzog and long-time Spielberg collaborator Laurent Bouzereau, the hour-long doc spotlights the true stories of several characters and real-life airmen featured in Masters of the Air including John Egan (played by Callum Turner), Gale Cleven (played by Austin Butler), Harry Crosby (played by Anthony Boyle), Robert “Rosie” Rosenthal (played by Nate Mann), Frank Murphy (played by Jonas Moore), Alexander Jefferson (played by Brandon Cook), Richard Macon (played by Josiah Cross), as well as veterans John “Lucky” Luckadoo, Robert Wolf,...

Masters of the Air is the newest tribute to World War II veterans from Spielberg and Hanks. All of their projects on the subject, including Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and The Pacific, concentrate on different aspects of the Great War and make for good viewing companion pieces. As the new series follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany, the review from our own Alex Maidy spoke highly of the show. He stated, “It is unlikely that any series will equal the acclaim that Band of Brothers achieved. Still, the blend of feature film directors and a cast of actors more than up to the task, Masters of the Air is a powerful companion to that HBO series and ranks slightly higher than The Pacific.

The Pacific and Band of Brothers would go on to become...

Masters of the Air just hit the skies as the biggest series debut on Apple TV+ ever.

Now, some folks might say it’s not quite on the same level as the legendary Band of Brothers, but its gripping story and top-notch acting have still grabbed attention all around the globe, proving it’s a heavyweight in the streaming world. With its compelling narrative and stellar performances, Masters of the Air has firmly established itself as a must-watch for fans of historical dramas and streaming enthusiasts alike.

“Masters of the Air” launched with more viewers in its opening weekend than any Apple TV+ series ever has in its first season, according to the streamer. Though an exact number of viewers was not made available, that puts the epic war miniseries launch above other high-profile original titles like “Hijack,” “The Morning Show” and “Severance.”

Remarkably, following the premiere of “Masters of the Air,” viewership across all of Apple TV+ climbed by 65% worldwide when compared to the previous seven-day period. The streamer also maintained double-digit growth across more than 100 territories.

“Masters of the Air” is currently debuting new episodes, with its sixth installment premiering on Friday, Feb. 23. The finale will bow on the streamer on March 15.

When it comes to Apple TV+‘s Masters of the Air, the Steven Spielberg–Tom Hanks executive-produced project serves as a follow-up to HBO‘s Band of Brothers and The Pacific. A fact that never escaped its cast of young stars including Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Barry Keoghan, Raff Law, Nate Mann, and Anthony Boyle. The show following the 100th Bomb Group as they take to the air over Nazi Germany offers a closer look at the lives of its key players, juxtaposing the quiet drama they face on the ground with the intense combat missions they’re fronting thousands of feet off the ground. “Pressures always a good thing,” Law, who plays Sgt.

Masters of the Air is finally here and the fans of The Pacific and Band of Brothers are going crazy over the masterfully created World War II series. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the Apple TV+ series revolves around the pilots of bomber planes in the 100th Bomb Group as they fight with everything they have to protect the world from Nazis. Based on a novel by Donald L. Miller titled Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany, the series is adapted for television by John Shiban and John Orloff, it feels like the third entry in the World War II shows by Spielberg and Hanks. Masters of the Air is genuinely one of the best series I have seen in many years, check out my review of the complete series here.

Apple TV+ series “Masters of the Air” is the third collaboration from the team behind HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” Trio Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Steven Spielberg produced the nine-part World War II epic series, which spotlights the men who fought in the 8th Air Force, specifically the men of the 100th Bomb Group. The vivid and vital story finds roots in the book of the same name by Donald L. Miller.

The crew of a typical Eighth Air Force heavy bomber plane included ten men — a pilot and his co-pilot flying the B17, the navigator and the bombardier in the machine’s nose, the flight engineer behind the pilot, the radio operator, two waist gunners, a ball turret gunner and a tail gunner. Not to mention the men who strategized from the bases, the plane engineers and Tuskegee airmen or Royal Airforce pilots who feature in this story.

Get ready to take to the skies with producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. This dynamic duo has teamed to present “Masters of the Air,” the new World War II drama series premiering on Apple TV+ on Friday, Jan. 26. The show follows the pilots and crews of the 100th Bomb Group as they take to the skies over Germany, risking their lives and forging bonds of brotherhood.

Masters of the Air is an epic war saga recounting the bravery and heroism of World War II’s 100th Bomb Group.

With an all-star cast featuring some of a generation’s most laudable talent, the series plunges viewers into the bellies of bombers as pilots and their crews work together to complete missions when the odds are they will be lucky to make it home alive.

Created by the same team as Band of Brothers and The Pacific, Masters of the Air adds another puzzle piece to the coordinated layers of warfare required to defeat the greatest enemy mankind has ever experienced.

Over 22 years after the premiere of HBO’s landmark Band of Brothers and nearly 14 years after the launch of HBO’s The Pacific (not quite as good as Band of Brothers but still epic longform storytelling), executive producers Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Steven Spielberg have finally brought their third World War II series to the small screen.

It is, mind you, a misnomer to say that anything associated with Masters of the Air is “small,” be it the screen or otherwise. Based on Donald L. Miller’s 2007 book of the same name and developed for Apple TV+ by John Orloff, Masters of the Air is, by any measure, huge. It boasts a mammoth ensemble of young stars in various states of ascension, requires an astonishing quantity of technical effects to achieve its high-flying narrative and, when its key moments land, is equal parts breathtaking, exhilarating and rousingly inspirational.

The co-stars stepped out for the UK premiere of Masters Of The Air on Monday (January 22) held at Picturehouse Central in London, England.

Here’s a synopsis of the series: Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed.

Based off a story by Shirtcliff and Angie Simms, with Simms penning the script, the story centers on three young women who, while in a vacation in Greece, run afoul of three charismatic young men who prove to be much more than they seem.

Central Athens in Greece is producing the film locally in Athens.

Netflix has renewed one of its most-talked-about series of the year.

Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 is officially in the works.

While Band of Brothers and The Pacific were both monumental hits for HBO and won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Miniseries, Masters of the Air will be headed to Apple TV+, where it is no doubt one of the most highly anticipated series since the service launched.

The stacked cast features Austin Butler, Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner,...

Apple TV+ taketh away, but Apple TV+ also giveth in spades. It's been over a decade since production on the war epic "Masters of the Air" began, but the Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks-executive produced limited series follow-up to "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" is almost here. Originally developed as a project for HBO, "Masters of the Air" jumped over to Apple TV+ in 2019 as the first in-house production for the studio. Of course, filming a sweeping WWII drama with explosions and flight scenes will take a bit more time than, say, a relatable dramedy like "Shrinking" (not to mention the necessary delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic), but the newest trailer for the highly-anticipated series signals that our wait has not been in vain.

Based on Donald L. Miller's book of the same name, "Band of Brothers" and "A Mighty Heart" writer John Orloff co-created the...
