The Lord of the Rings franchise is a classic lore of good vs evil which follows heroes who embark on a perilous quest to save the world from darkness. It is all thanks to J.R.R. Tolkien’s creativity that curated a detailed world with diverse mythologies. While the novel series gained quite a bit of attention, it is Peter Jackson who put the stories in the cinematic format to reach wider audiences.

And yet, Jackson’s adaptations are far from being true to the source material. In particular, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) is one film that often disappoints book readers due to its non-coherent sequences.

Time travel movies are tricky things to pull off. You want the science in your story to make a certain amount of sense, but you don’t want to put so much effort into your timelines that you start to confound the audience. If the tale being told is compelling enough, the viewer won’t feel the need to pick apart every single detail. When it comes to Looper, a terrific example of the time travel genre, director Rian Johnson said he didn’t want the audience to feel like they were doing homework. Johnson got it just right, since Looper works on its own terms, doesn’t condescend to the viewer, and uses the time travel conceit as a clothesline upon which it hangs the really important things, like its characters and the drama they’re tangled up in.

Actor Bruce Willis teamed up with Quiet Place star Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt for the sci-fi feature Looper. Although an action film, Willis didn’t expect the movie to pack the emotional punch that it did.

Willis already knew what he was getting into with Looper. He once confided that Looper was one of a handful of projects he immediately wanted to do after reading the script. The 2012 Rian Johnson picture was about a man who illegally travels back in time and is confronted by his younger self. Willis wasn’t a stranger to time travel , films like Twelve Monkeys also focused on heroes trying to change the past. But speaking with Ain’t It Cool, Willis was excited because Looper was about more than just time travel.

All the Yellowstone drama has turned Kevin Costner into some sort of anti-hero figure among fans. Costner’s issues have caused some serious damage to the reputation of the TV series that saw its biggest overnight launch for the fifth-season premiere in November 2022. The second part of the fifth season will start filming soon, probably without Costner to lead the show. Yellowstone co-stars have revealed his gentler side over the years which tells a different story from the current drama.
Kevin Costner’s exit may have caused some hatred against him among the Yellowstone cast & crew
Costner plays John Dutton, the patriarch of the Dutton family and the owner of the Yellowstone ranch. Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, and Luke Grimes play his three children, while Cole Hauser plays his ranch hand in the Paramount series.

Jeremy Renner became the leading man in the TV series Mayor of Kingstown in 2021. The show is currently filming its third season, with the episodes set to premiere later this summer. After playing Hawkeye for the better part of a decade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jeremy Renner took a different approach to choosing his project, and ended up with Taylor Sheridan’s crime thriller.

Renner has been part of the film industry for many years, having worked on many acclaimed projects and even getting Oscar nominations for his movies like The Hurt Locker and The Town. Now, he is busy giving a dazzling performance as a fixer-cum-self-proclaimed mayor of a fictional town, crawling with thugs and criminals as well as people of the law.

A breath of fresh air for traditional commercial television was Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, especially in an era when streaming services and binge-worthy content ruled the television landscape.
If you enjoy vintage badass Westerns with lots of revolvers and hard-boiled cowboys, you have probably heard of, if not seen, Paramount’s neo-Western drama series. Fans of the genre will find much to enjoy in this gripping drama series that brings back the glamour of Hollywood’s golden era into the present day.

But before going on to give birth to one of the best TV shows ever, Sheridan, 54, was just an actor, most known for his role in the FX drama series Sons of Anarchy (2008–2010). However, he left Kurt Sutter’s series and later said the experience motivated him to work on Yellowstone.

Zack Snyder famously had a plan for an R-rated Star Wars story that never saw the light of day, thanks to Disney buying out the IP before Snyder had a chance to pitch it properly. Several years later, the idea found itself being developed as an original IP by Netflix, something that Snyder hoped would turn into a juggernaut like Star Wars itself.
Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire.
While beloved by Zack Snyder fans and general audiences, the beginning of the Rebel Moon IP failed to impress critics with its first part, A Child of Fire. Considering that the girl was only the first half of the story, Snyder has come out saying that the first film will merit re-evaluation when the second film, The Scargiver, hits streaming on April 19th.

When it came to the Dceu, Zack Snyder had quite the idea for his characters. They weren’t going to be just some usual run of the mill superheroes who had a conviction for doing good. For Snyder, it was so much more. He understood very well that life is never fair. The conundrums that categorise the postmodern era can’t be reflected in a hunky-dory world.
Hence the epiphany to explore with characters who would dare to start on the dark side of the spectrum, showing everyone’s favorite superheroes in a light no one could have imagined. And he was made to answer for that, with a section of fans questioning his choices. But he wasn’t the first to do so.

He continued to voice the character in animated series including The New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited.

“Reservation Dogs” took the industry by storm. Critics and audiences alike fell in love with this FX comedy from Sterlin Harjo and Oscar-winner Taika Waititi. The series follows the lives of four Indigenous teenagers living in rural Oklahoma who try to scrape together enough money to leave behind their reservation community.
The reason the show soars so high is its spectacular cast, at the center of which is a quartet of brilliant young actors: Devery Jacobs, D’Pharoah Woon-a-Tai, Paulina Alexis, and Lane Factor. Jacobs is perhaps the jewel in this crown, as noted by critics.
Maureen Ryan (Vanity Fair) observed: “It was astonishing to watch Jacobs’s body language and face in the recent episode in which Elora met her father, Rick (Ethan Hawke).

There’s a bunch that are better in different ways or at least thoroughly enjoyable in their own right like John Carpenter’s masterpiece, Philip Kaufman’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and of course David Cronenberg’s The Fly. While you can argue the horror vs sci fi merits of any of these movies, their quality can’t be disputed. When it comes down to what you can or can’t remake, I think the gloves are off at this point.

A big storyline for Chicago Fire Season 12 is the wedding between Sylvie Brett and Matthew Casey.
Casey (played by Jesse Spencer) returned in the Chicago Fire Season 11 finale to help with a domestic terrorism case. He was on a task force due to the nature of the threats.
After returning to Chicago, Casey realized he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Brett (Kara Killmer). Casey popped the question as the season finale ended, but fans had to wait for an answer.
Chicago Fire Season 12 began with a six-month time jump. It required character conversations to bridge the gap in storylines that had been wrapped up.
Mouch survived his injuries, Stella Kidd tracked down and brought Kelly Severide back to Chicago, and Brett agreed to marry Casey.
Getting from that proposal to being married could be a difficult road, at least according to showrunner Andrea Newman.

Criminal Minds continues to be a large presence in television with its current revival show Evolution. Its most recent season took major inspiration from a single question that created a frightening scenario.
How the pandemic helped resurrect ‘Criminal Minds’ A.J. Cook as JJ and Josh Stewart as William Lamontagne in ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ | Michael Yarish/Getty Images
Criminal Minds as most fans knew it reached its conclusion on February 19, 2020. It ended its run with 10 episodes, which had been one of the least number of episodes the show aired since its inception. Ironically, the popular police procedural would end after Covid-19 became a massive threat to the world. What fans perhaps didn’t predict was how much the pandemic would impact the series’ 16th season.
Series showrunner Erica Messer confided to Deadline that it wasn’t too long after Criminal Minds ended that she was asked to bring the show back.

It's hard to imagine a show or movie in the John Wick universe without John Wick, but that's exactly what "The Continental" is. The new three-part Peacock series is technically a prequel to the John Wick films, but it's entirely centered on Winston Scott, played in the original movies by Ian McShane. "The Continental" stars Colin Woodell as Winston and explores his origin story, tracing how he came to run a hotel that provides sanctuary for off-duty assassins and other criminals.
Based on the timeline alone, it's technically impossible Reeves could appear as John Wick in "The Continental," since his character is a child in the 1970s. As fun as it would be to see Reeves play a teenager, the 59-year-old actor has passed that threshold at this point.

Robert Downey Jr. has long been a fan-favorite with viewers around the world. He started his career in movies when he was a small child, thanks to the encouragement of his father, a well-known indie filmmaker.
By the time he was a teenager, Downey Jr. had made a name for himself in teen movies and comedies. However, it was his role as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that solidified his status as a true Hollywood legend. Ironically, it was the history-making role of Tony that made Downey Jr. very nervous about taking on a role in the all-new historical drama film Oppenheimer.

Michael Shannon, a top Emmy Awards contender for his performance in “George & Tammy” and General Zod in the DC universe of films, said in a recent interview with Empire that he turned down a role in a “Star Wars” film to avoid becoming part of a franchise.
The comments were published in the print version of Empire and aren’t online. But that didn’t stop numerous sites – including this one! – from picking up Shannon’s statements after it was first aggregated by Insider a few days ago.
“I’m always a bit wary about those giant movies. Because they take a lot of time and I don’t find them very stimulating to work on,” he reportedly told Empire. “I don’t ever want to get stuck in a franchise. I don’t find them interesting and I don’t want to perpetuate them. If I’m making something,...

Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch Season 19 shows the difficulties of fishing on the Bering Sea, and fans continue to enjoy watching “Wild” Bill Wichrowski on the F/V Summer Bay. Wichrowski joined the show back in 2010, and his gruff personality rubs some of his fellow fishermen the wrong way. At one point, he explained why “desperate people” are the ones to become successful at sea. Here’s what he said.

Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch Season 19 continues on, and fans are invested in Captain “Wild” Bill Wichrowski. Wichrowski joined the show in 2010 for season 6, and that’s also when his son, Zach Larson, joined the show. Unfortunately, it seems Wichrowski and Larson didn’t have a great relationship. Here’s what we know.

Deadliest Catch Season 19 fans are missing Zach Larson, and they may recall his relationship with his famous father, Captain “Wild” Bill Wichrowski. Larson and Wichrowski had a difficult father-son relationship. Wichrowski has three kids, and Larson was from a previous marriage (he took his mother’s last name). Reports suggest Wichrowski stepped out of his son’s life when Larson was young, causing a rift. Larson joined his father in 2008 to catch crabs together for the first time.

The hit CBS series Blue Bloods has had remarkable staying power. Thirteen seasons in, the police drama continues to draw a devoted fan base. Since the first episode, Tom Selleck has held the position of New York City Police Commissioner, as well as the father of the Reagan family. He’s spent over a decade on the show, and he was a well-established star when it debuted. How old was he when the series began, and how old does that make him today?

Michael Shannon revealed on the “Bingeworthy” podcast that he was hesitant to reprise the role of his “Man of Steel” villain General Zod in “The Flash” due to Zack Snyder’s contentious exit from Warner Bros. Snyder directed Shannon as Zod in the 2013 Superman movie, which launched Snyder’s DC Universe. The director expanded his universe with “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League,” but the latter was overtaken by the studio once Snyder left in post-production because of a family tragedy. Joss Whedon was brought in for reshoots and overhauled Snyder’s darker tone.
“I was hesitant [to come back] because I wasn’t really happy about what happened to Zack Snyder in that whole deal,” Shannon said. “And I really love Zack. The fact that Zack asked me to play that part to begin with — that’s probably the biggest surprise of my career. It almost felt like a practical joke.

There's a reason Jack Reacher author Lee Child is devastated about Roscoe Conklin not returning for season 2 of Amazon's "Reacher." Throughout season 1 of the hit streaming series, Willa Fitzgerald's Roscoe becomes more than she ever was in the pages of "Killing Floor" — the book on which the first run of "Reacher" episodes is based. While the Margrave, Ga police officer is a great addition to the novel, her streaming counterpart is more fleshed out, with her own sub-plots and layered characterization.
But with "Reacher" following the books, in the sense that each new season will see the titular ex-Army police officer in a new setting, embroiled in a fresh conspiracy of some sort, there's very little room for returning characters. Which means, as showrunner Nick Santora has confirmed, Roscoe won't be coming back when Jack Reacher returns for a second season. That said, with fans playing a big role...

Season three of The Mandalorian has been surprising to say the least. With returning characters like Bo-Katan and Zeb, Star Wars fans have had plenty of exciting moments to savor thus far. However, a new surprise character, played by actor Ahmed Best, has fans truly over the moon, and not just because of what his character does in the show.

I’ll always have a soft spot for the horror of the late ’90s. It wasn’t the best of the decade, but it does contain that silly and ambitious mix of dark edginess and psychological tension. Coming somewhat from the boom of the ’90s type of thriller, the religious horror resurgence came out of changing tastes. And though it didn’t all work out, there was a style and tone that I’ll always love. So what happens when an action superstar tries to grow while the genre around him changes into a different beast?

Seven months ago, it was announced that Tessa Thompson (Thor: Love and Thunder) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) had signed on to star in Ash, a sci-fi thriller from rapper and filmmaker Flying Lotus, a.k.a. Steven Ellison. But Thompson and Gordon-Levitt have since moved on from the project, and Deadline reports that they have been replaced by Eiza González (Baby Driver) and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad).
González will be playing a woman who wakes on a far-flung planet to find her crew mysteriously murdered. When a man (Paul) comes to investigate the scene, she must decide if she can trust him or if he’s responsible for her series of unfortunate events.
Flying Lotus is directing the film from a screenplay by Jonni Remmler and will also be composing the score. XYZ Films and Gfc Films are producing Ash, with Neill Blomkamp and Echo Lake serving as executive producers.

There is no way to deny that acting in a television show takes great talent. The actor has to become someone else, adapting to a different personality altogether, and on the popular show, The Vampire Diaries, Ian Somerhalder was able to do just that in his role as Damon Salvatore.
It turns out that Somerhalder is pretty multitalented since he didn’t only act in the show but directed a few episodes as well. Now, we have learned that Kat Graham, who portrayed Bonnie Bennett on The Vampire Diaries, loved working with Somerhalder as a director.

Most movies wrap up rather concretely, with little room for debate, while some leave that final door ambiguously open a crack. This leads the way for lengthy speculation for films like Inception, Birdman, Barton Fink, Mulholland Drive, and The Dark Knight Rises that end on a less definitive note.
Fortunately for completists, the YouTube channel Looper just added a new video called “The Most Confusing Movie Endings Explained.” Looper has explored follow-up interviews with various filmmakers, like a commencement address by Christopher Nolan, and investigated certain clues in these final frames, to come up with the definitive takes on these ambiguous endings. So if you really want to know where Leonardo DiCaprio’s character winds up at the end of Inception, what the final moments of Birdman indicate, and what the alternate ending of Vanilla Sky might have revealed, take a look here.

Sci-fi thriller Oblivion has arrived in cinemas, and that means that audiences have a fresh sci-fi blockbuster to enjoy. Sometimes snubbed, misunderstood and casually dismissed to sulk in its own tech-interfaced ghetto, the genre has got a bit of a (micro)chip on its shoulder. It's therefore always nice to see original science fiction stories making waves on the movie scene and reaching wider cinema audiences.
I'm hoping that Oblivion is embraced and receives a positive reception to follow in the footsteps of District 9, Source Code and Looper, to name a trio of recent critical and commercial smashes.
Of course, the crucial draw of Oblivion for many isn't its vision of a future Earth ravaged by alien warfare, overseen by survivors who inhabit floating towns and...

When people speak of the possibility of alternate dimensions, they leave out the one closest to us all. We like to imagine a universe so similar to our own, nearly identical to the world in which we live if not for one difference. Maybe in one dimension, Bill Clinton was ousted from office, not just thrown up for impeachment. Maybe in another dimension, HD-DVD won the high-definition home-media war instead of Blu-ray. Or maybe, in some beautiful reality, Scott Norwood didn’t miss that field goal in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants. The possibilities are tantalizing because they are literally endless. In all the wonder and curiosity, however, most of us fail to recognize that there already exists another universe snuggled up tightly to ours,...

Regardless of the predictability we see each year (not a new phenomenon, by any means) and the safety of the nominations (that's not my argument here), surely the fact that last year's Cloud Atlas - one of the most bold, challenging and imaginative films of the 21st century - is an embarrassment to the Academy and what they stand for.
