An excellent casting decision HBO It takes a certain kind of actor to commit completely to a massive space opera like “Dune,” but Fimmel is basically made for this franchise. As Ragnar on “Vikings” he was a historical hottie who broke hearts and skulls, priming him for any old school combat. And as Marcus on “Raised by Wolves,” he was an atheist who became the leader of a cult after ingesting android parts and infecting himself with godhood, essentially....

Is The Rehearsal Manipulative? Let’s Reenact This Scenario And Find Out HBO By Matthew Bilodeau/Aug. 9, 2022 11:00 am EST Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the first four episodes of “The Rehearsal.” If you’ve been following “The Rehearsal” for the past few weeks now, you’re probably aware that Nathan Fielder’s pseudo-reality puzzle has been the subject of contention for some. The premise of the HBO series initially revolved around the awkward comedian taking people under his wing to meticulously rehearse a scenario until it manifests into the desired outcome in reality, but the way in which Fielder has involved himself in his participants’ lives has made this feel much more personal....

Justin Long’s Barbarian Character Reminded Him Of Steve Martin’s The Jerk 20th Century Studios By Jeremy Smith/Nov. 16, 2022 4:24 pm EST This post contains spoilers for “Barbarian.” Zach Cregger’s “Barbarian” is a wild horror ride that blindsides the audience on multiple occasions. If you go in completely cold (and you should), it’s hard to get a handle on where the film is headed. When Cregger abruptly cuts from the basement dungeon where our ostensible protagonist (Georgina Campbell) is being held captive by a shrieking, sheet-white humanoid of unknown origin to a car zipping along Southern California’s Pacific Coast Highway, in which Justin Long’s hotshot Hollywood actor discovers he’s being fired from his TV show due to a rape allegation from a co-star, the narrative whiplash is palpable....

Kate Mulgrew Explains Why She Never Directed An Episode Of Star Trek [Exclusive] Paramount By Witney Seibold/Oct. 10, 2022 4:49 pm EST “Star Trek” is notoriously kind to its cast. If an actor manages to secure a small role in one episode of “Star Trek,” it becomes more likely that they will be invited back for reappearances, either as the same character or as a new character. Actor Mark Lenard appeared on the original series as a Romulan commander, only to be recast later as Spock’s father Sarek....

Each Turtle, based on the sewer-dwelling comic book characters by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, was brought to life via puppetry and costumes from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop....

Surf’s up, dude New Line Cinema David Forman, a prolific stunt coordinator and stunt performer who’s been active since the mid-1980s, served as Leonardo’s in-suit actor in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Longtime “The Muppets” puppeteer Michelan Sisti and creature performer turned location manager Leif Tilden similarly donned the 70-pound costumes to portray Michelangelo and Donatello during filming. All three actors “wanted to play the voice, and it wasn’t fair to not give them a chance to be the voices,” Barron told THR....

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Season 2 Trailer: The Team Heads Off To Summer Hockey Camp Disney+ By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 1, 2022 1:40 pm EST “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” brought a new generation of peewee hockey players to Disney+ last spring. In the show’s first season, 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) was cut from the titular team, which had turned into an ultra-competitive powerhouse. His mother, Alex (Lauren Graham), formed a new team of ragtag underdogs called the Don’t Bothers, and she even got some reluctant but much needed help from former Mighty Ducks coach and hockey player Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez), who had since become the owner of a low level ice rink....

The Real-Life Inspiration For Chris Pine’s Don’t Worry Darling Character Warner Bros. Pictures By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Sept. 2, 2022 3:46 pm EST Actor-turned-director Olivia Wilde’s second feature film, “Don’t Worry Darling,” is heading to cinemas this month after a string of controversies. For the most part, the juicy details of the film’s story have been a tightlipped secret, though its mysterious psychological thriller tone is a strong right turn from Wilde’s confident and slick comedic solo debut, “Booksmart....

What is The Talisman about? Netflix “The Talisman” centers on a young man from New Hampshire named Jack Sawyer who has the ability to “flip” between our reality, and an alternate, darker, parallel world called “The Territories.” Yes, you are correct in immediately thinking this sounds like something straight out of “Stranger Things.” Jack goes on his adventures in an attempt to find an artifact in The Territories that could save the life of dying mother....

Palminteri first told his story as a one-man show on the stage. He took the basics of his childhood and his more remarkable experiences, such as witnessing a murder at age nine or being friendly with the neighborhood gangsters, and turned them into a coming-of-age story....

Twice upon a time BBC The Doctor having the ability to regenerate more than twelve times is a topic that has been explored in the past, but mostly in talking about the future. During the show’s 50th anniversary special, titled “The Day of the Doctor,” Steven Moffat introduced the Curator, a mysterious figure who resides in the Under Gallery and resembles the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker). It’s implied that the Doctor becomes this character when he retires from his adventuring ways and decides to become “a humble curator” for an art gallery....

And the angels won’t help you New Line Cinema While a prominent part of “Twin Peaks,” there wasn’t a lot that could be said about Laura. At the time, this was by design, as her death was the catalyst for even darker secrets to emerge. Gradually, the show revealed that she wasn’t the person she seemed, actually being consumed by something she couldn’t control. However, this shouldn’t be the case. On the surface, she seems like the typical ’90s high-schooler; she’s got a nice house, her best friend named Donna (Moira Kelly, who replaced Lara Flynn Boyle for this film), and a boyfriend in Bobby (Dana Ashbrook)....
