Sofía Vergara became one of the highest-paid actresses on television, thanks to her role in the sitcom Modern Family. Vergara channeled her one major characteristic into the role that worked well with the audience. Gloria Delgado-Pritchett also spoke English with a Colombian accent like Vergara. Interestingly, Vergara planned to lose her accent before her career-changing role since it became difficult for her to land roles.

The fourth and final season of HBO’s sumptuous 20th-century saga “My Brilliant Friend” brings us back to Naples one more time. HBO has released the trailer for the last 10 episodes of the series, based on Elena Ferrante’s worldwide-bestselling quartet of Neapolitan novels, with Season 4 adapting the last book, “The Story of the Lost Child.” Watch below.
The series is created by Saverio Costanzo, who hands directing duties over to “Sworn Virgin” and “Daughter of Mine” filmmaker Laura Bispuri. Costanzo’s partner and Bispuri’s longtime collaborator Alba Rohrwarcher joins onscreen as protagonist Elena Greco after narrating behind the camera the last three seasons. Irene Maiorino joins the cast as Elena’s complicated longtime friend Lila, whom she first met as a girl in 1950s Naples. This season brings us back to the namesake Italian city — which the production recreated on a vast soundstage when not filming on location — where Elena,...

There’s something magnetic about the big screen that turns mere mortals into legends, and one of the hottest actors of the ‘80s, Tom Cruise, epitomizes this journey like no other. Audiences first discovered him in smaller roles in films like Endless Love.

But it was his breakout performance in the 1983 film Risky Business that truly lit the fuse on his skyrocketing career. From then on, Cruise blazed a trail through Hollywood, starring in timeless classics like Rain Man, Top Gun, and Jerry Maguire. Though he dabbled in dramatic roles, he soon morphed into an indomitable action star, headlining the action-packed Mission: Impossible franchise.
Yet, who would have guessed that behind the high-octane stunts and blockbuster flicks, lies a romantic side many fans know little about? Take, for instance, his relationship with his Vanilla Sky co-star Penélope Cruz.

Peter Sarsgaard is more than presumably done with “Presumed Innocent.”
The Apple TV+ series, which also starred Sarsgaard’s frequent collaborator and brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal, was renewed for a second season in July 2024. While Gyllenhaal will return as an executive producer along with David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams, there is no casting news yet. It is likely the limited legal-thriller series will be reimagined as an anthology series: Apple’s announcement teased only that Season 2 will “unfold around a suspenseful, brand new case.”
Either way, it will be without Sarsgaard as prosecutor Tommy Molto. The actor told IndieWire that he will not be appearing in “Presumed Innocent” Season 2, and instead opts to never revisit any of his past roles.
“I’m not really that interested in sequels. I think I’ve only ever done one season of anything… I think I’m a one-season person,” Sarsgaard said while promoting his upcoming indie film “Coup!.

Pedro Almodóvar can now count Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore among his new cinematic muses.
The Oscar-winning Spanish director’s first English-language feature, “The Room Next Door,” was confirmed Tuesday morning as expected to premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival in competition. Timed to artistic director Alberto Barbera’s lineup announcement, the festival has also released a first-look image of the film, which you can see above.
Almodóvar has made two short films in English: the Jean Cocteau-inspired breakup tone poem “The Human Voice,” which premiered at Venice in 2020, and gay Western “Strange Way of Life,” starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal, which played Cannes 2023.

In 2023, we haven’t predicted that the Christmas and New Year’s box office would serve up a financial feast without the cherry on top of a box-office Goliath like the years before. Bucking the trend, the big screen’s end-of-year bash didn’t lean on a single titan to rake in the crowds.
Instead, a colorful medley of cinematic treats—from the whimsical Wonka to the deep-sea adventures in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom—acted as a team of spirited workhorses, charming audiences and, of course, filling up the industry’s coffers.

Alas, not all films could ride this wave of prosperity; Michael Mann’s Ferrari, despite critical acclaim and the seal of approval from the National Board of Review, hit a financial snag. But the director, 81, steering clear of defeatist waters, holds steadfast in the face of adversity.

Michael Mann is offering behind-the-scenes access to his filmmaking process with the launch of his Archives site.
The online project, which can be seen here, debuted Tuesday with a focus on his 2023 feature Ferrari that stars Adam Driver as race car driver and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari and Penélope Cruz as wife Laura Ferrari. Users can purchase access to the interactive website, and there is a plan to create future pages focused on other Mann movies.
Mann’s Archives site includes 20 previously unseen mini-documentary videos highlighting the making of the film and the technology involved. Also included are the Oscar-nominated filmmaker’s annotated script pages, notes to himself, photo storyboards and an array of audio recordings.
“Directors have no idea how any other director makes a movie,” Mann told the Los Angeles Times about the Archives project. “And so we each evolve our own particular process. This is an opportunity to pass that on,...

Reader, you have been lied to! Film history is littered with unfairly maligned classics, whether critics were too eager to review the making of rather than the finished product, or they suffered from underwhelming ad campaigns or general disinterest. Let’s revise our takes on some of these films from wrongheaded to the correct opinion.
When Ridley Scott‘s “Blade Runner” was released in the summer of 1982, it met with lukewarm responses from audiences and, though there were outliers, largely mixed reviews. (Pauline Kael’s snide dismissal stuck in Scott‘s craw to the point that he continued to quote it in interviews 40 years later.) Scott had the last laugh, as it only took around 10 years for everyone to come around and acknowledge “Blade Runner” as a classic, and given how wrong the critics were initially one might think they would be careful about underestimating Scott again. Yet when Scott...

The $2 billion-grossing “Conjuring” franchise gets its grand finale, with Warner Bros. dating a final “The Conjuring” movie for release in theaters and Imax on Sept. 5, 2025.
The yet-to-be titled fourth film in the supernatural horror franchise comes as Warner Bros. and New Line’s “The Conjuring” universe has expanded to include prequel, sequel and spinoff titles like “The Nun,” “Annabelle” and “The Curse of La Llorona.”
Directed by James Wan and produced by Peter Safran, 2013’s “The Conjuring” established the franchise’s mythology, following paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) as they work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. The film was a massive hit, nabbing $319 million worldwide. The franchise’s top-grossing movie to date is the 2018 prequel “The Nun,” which followed Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) as she fended off the possessed demon nun Valek in 1952 Romania.

The actor leads the film “Coup!,” which debuted at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival. Sarsgaard stars as a sinister private cook who is hired by a journalist (Billy Magnussen) to live with him on an island amid the Spanish Flu epidemic.
The official synopsis reads: Isolated on a seaside estate during the 1918 Spanish Flu, an entitled journalist (Magnussen) and his socialite wife (Sarah Gadon) take in a mysterious grifter as a private cook (Sarsgaard). When the plague descends on the island, the wily cook rouses his fellow staff to rebel and take over the mansion. Their wealthy employer suspects the cook’s coup is part of a more sinister agenda, and mind games between master and servant escalate into boisterous class warfare.

Residente and Jessie Reyez have shared a stripped-down version of “El Encuentro,” their lovelorn collaboration from Residente’s latest LP, Las Letras Ya No Importan.
“El Encuentro” is a heart-on-sleeve duet about a late-night encounter between two former lovers, neither of whom can ultimately bring themselves to go through with the meeting. While the studio version of the song is already a largely acoustic affair, the new live session version finds Residente and Reyez accompanied by just a guitarist and a string quartet. It’s an emotional performance, with Residente and Reyez singing,...

The world is already well aware of Robert Pattinson’s acting prowess, given his slew of successful movies. Apart from that, the Twilight actor usually maintains a rather low profile outside the movie sets. But even that could not stop the hawk eyes of the media and the paparazzi, who quickly figured out his budding romance with British singer and actress Suki Waterhouse.

Actress and singer Suki Waterhouse is looking back on her meet-cute moment with Robert Pattinson as they recently welcomed a baby girl.
In a cover interview for British Vogue‘s August issue, Waterhouse, posing with her and Pattinson’s daughter, reflected on their six-year relationship and why the pregnancy wasn’t a shock.
“I was sure that I’d met him a long time ago, but he didn’t think that we had,” Waterhouse said. The Daisy Jones & The Six star recalled meeting Pattinson at a game night in L.A. “It was very, very intense,” she said. “There were lots of ‘big’ characters, real heavy hitters.” She revealed that guests included Al Pacino, Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz. “And you know, everyone was really acting,” she said.
“I think we both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness” and “started giggling at the absurdity of the whole thing,” she said,...

Gillian Anderson was once the face of TV thanks to her role as Dana Scully in “The X-Files.” That show awarded her some healthy, consistent Emmy attention (more on that later) before she underwent a bit of a break from that awards applause for a while. However, Netflix’s “The Crown” gave her career something of a second wind and that Andernaissance (sorry) has continued here with “Scoop.”
Like “The Crown,” Anderson excels here portraying a real-life person in a true story concerning the royal family. While she played Margaret Thatcher in “The Crown,” she takes on the role of presenter and journalist Emily Maitlis in Netflix’s “Scoop.” This TV movie documents the behind-the-scenes story of how producer Samantha McAlister (Billie Piper) secured the “scoop of the decade” and landed that interview with Prince Andrew (Rufus Sewell).

Javier Bardem is easily one of the finest actors of his generation and has given some of the greatest performances in films from his home country Spain as well as Hollywood. Films like Before Night Falls, Biutiful, No Country for Old Men, and Skyfall have shown his incredible range as an actor. His wife, Penélope Cruz, is also a stunning woman who has also appeared in several hit films.

Embarking on fame in Tinseltown can be both exhilarating and perilous. But what if young actors could harness one specific piece of wisdom from the legendary Tom Cruise—who will be turning 62 next month—to steer their careers toward calmer, controversy-free waters?
Reaching the heights of fame at a tender age, Cruise’s career has been a masterclass in maintaining a clean public image in such a not-so-easy profession. With a track record free of public scandals, or infamous meltdowns, his journey offers a beacon for emerging talents. In fact, as evidenced by his candid insights in Vanity Fair, he expertly navigated the shark-infested waters of show business, avoiding the bloodsuckers and sticking to his job.

Back in 1990, soon after his divorce from Mimi Rogers, fans found the perfect ship as the next best power couple in Hollywood: Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. A pair like one made in heaven, these two lovebirds were seen together almost everywhere and fans couldn’t help but swoon looking at them being so in love with each other.
But then something went wrong, and this ship crashed.

While that came as a devastating blow to his fans, friends, and family, it seems that Cruise was even more heartbroken by how the course of events had turned out for him and his now ex-wife back in the day.
In fact, if anything, the heart-rending way he responded to questions about their split during interviews perfectly sums up the love and utter respect he had for Kidman in his heart.

Tom Cruise didn’t just jump up and down on a couch as an overeager romantic. The otherwise calm and composed Cruise often blurted out his love for his partner on public platforms in the 2000s. The actor might be single now, but there was a time when he was associated with some of the top actresses. After his divorce from Nicole Kidman, Cruise was involved in a romantic relationship with Penélope Cruz.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has added another cast member to her upcoming take on The Bride of Frankenstein, and it's someone she knows very well.
In a new piece on the Spider-Man: Far From Home and Roadhouse star, THR reports that Jake Gyllenhaal has joined the cast of The Bride!, but don't reveal any details on his character.
Gyllenhaal (Maggie) recently took to Instagram to share the first ever production stills from the film, giving us a glimpse of Christian Bale as Frankenstein's Monster, and Jessie Buckley as the misunderstood creature's titular Bride.
We first heard about this project back in 2022 when it was being developed for Netflix, but a follow-up report indicated that the film had been shelved shortly after the Hollywood strikes got underway, and was being shopped elsewhere. More recently, we'd learn that Warner Bros. had acquired The Bride!, which is now set for a theatrical release on October 3rd,...

There’s been some executive shuffling at Spanish production and distribution heavyweight Mediapro, with Marta Ezpeleta named the new CEO of The Mediapro Studio (Tms), the group’s content production and distribution arm, replacing Laura Fernández Espeso, who will take over the role of CEO of the entire Mediapro group.
“Marta’s vision, professionalism and dedication have been instrumental to the Studio’s growth and global expansion,” said Espeso in a statement. “I have worked closely with her and am confident she will excel in leading our world-class production team.”
Ezpeleta joined Mediapro in 2019 after more than 20 years at The Walt Disney Company in Spain, where she oversaw content distribution and marketing for the region. At The Mediapro Studio, she has spearheaded the international distribution of hit series like The Head, Paraíso and Express.

Initially, Netflix was behind this new adaptation, but the streaming giant decided to drop it. Luckily, Warner Bros. Pictures swooped in and saved the day by picking it up and signing on to produce.

If there are franchises that have played a significant role in promoting strong female characters, then, Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean has played a crucial role in showcasing such characters. These characters have broken away from traditional gender roles, and brought a unique development to the film, by complementing the male characters of the film, which made the series much more layered and engaging.

Elizabeth Swann and Calypso are the two most renowned female characters from the series, who have undergone significant transformation and played an active part in the development of the storyline of the series. However, some have criticized empowered female characters, and Brenton Thwaites has come forward to silence them as he comments on the importance of such characters in a hit film series.

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett will receive the Donostia Award at the 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival.
The Australian star, known for her roles in films such as The Aviator, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and more recently the Oscar-nominated Tár, will also feature on the official poster for the festival, created by graphic designer José Luis Lanzagorta.
Blanchett has racked up more than 200 acknowledgments and accolades across her long-spanning career, including two Academy Awards from six nominations. She has won four BAFTAs and four Golden Globes.
It will be her first visit to the event in San Sebastian, Spain, taking place Sept. 20-28, though the festival has already screened a number of her films, including Babel (2007) and Veronica Guerin (2003), competing for the top prize, the Golden Shell.

The Merry Month of May is upon us, but first, there's still some April business to attend. Specifically, Penélope Cruz turned fifty last weekend and celebrated a big party that included such names as husband Javier Bardem, auteur par excellence Pedro Almodóvar, former scene partner Salma Hayek, and many more. Happy belated birthday to the Spanish star!

Anne Hathaway built a strong portfolio in Hollywood with her leading roles in almost all genres. Like any other actor, Hathaway had her fair share of insecurities as an actress. Her fears peaked right after filming Love & Other Drugs, co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal. However, they lasted only for two weeks as she got the call for the film One Day. Hathaway shared that her worry came with the territory of being an actor, where a lot of things were beyond her control.

While Hathaway and Gyllenhaal’s film received mixed reviews from critics, the film was a commercial success. It explored the story of a medicine peddler Jamie who falls for a young woman suffering from an illness that could eventually lead to Parkinson’s disease.

Ben Stiller’s Zoolander is an infinitely quotable cult classic among comedy aficionadoes, and a sequel should have been easier to pull off than turning left. Still, the film failed epically, creating a reckoning for Stiller. Speaking with David Duchovny on the actor’s Fail Better podcast, Stiller says he was “blindsided” by the box office bombing of Zoolander 2 after thinking it would surprise fans more than David Bowie’s cameo in the original film.
“I thought everybody wanted this,” Stiller said about the sequel to his 2001 meme-worthy comedy. “And then it’s like, ‘Wow, I must have really f—ed this up. Everybody didn’t go to it. And it’s gotten these horrible reviews.”
“It really freaked me out because I was like, ‘I didn’t know it was that bad?’ ” Stiller continued. “What scared me the most on that one was I’m losing what I think what’s funny,...

Christian Bale is probably the most diligent actor Hollywood has. Bale’s commitment to the craft is unparalleled. He has quite the reputation of going above and beyond to do justice to the characters he plays. With extreme physical transformations and voice modulations, Bale plays his characters like he’s grown new skin.
Christian Bale in Hostiles

Mary Shelley's genre novel landmark Frankenstein is one source material that, like Sherlock Holmes, Dracula or Garfield, filmmakers just can't somehow stay away from. Perhaps it's because the story of a man and his creation offers so many potential thematic choices. Or because actors just love playing the stitched-up result of the doctor's work. In this case, we have writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal offering up the first looks at Christian Bale as the creature and Jessie Buckley as his chosen Bride. Check out Bale above and the other images below…
From the looks of these, Gyllenhaal (marking her second directorial effort after the Oscar-nominated The Lost Daughter) has certainly put a new spin on the classic story (or more accurately The Bride Of Frankenstein).
Your official synopsis runs as follows: A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of Dr. Euphonious in creating a companion for himself.
