Former Top Gear host Andrew Flintoff has opened up about the high-speed crash that has transformed his life, saying: “I shouldn’t be here.”
Flintoff said he “struggles with anxiety,” has “nightmares” and “flashbacks” in comments trailed by BBC News that were filmed during the second season of his cricket series Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams, which were recorded last summer.
These were the first comments Flintoff has made publicly about the crash, which has seen the BBC pay him £9M ($11.5M) in compensation following an investigation by producer BBC Studios and the popular show rested “for the foreseeable future.”
“I genuinely should not be here with what happened,” he said.
“It’s going to be a long road back and I’ve only just started. I’m going to need help. I really am. I’m not the best at asking for it.”

While it’s far too early to speculate on what movies will be nominated at next year’s Oscars (Dune: Part Two? Madame Web? A straight-to-streaming Sharknado sequel starring the Hawk Tuah girl?), the Academy has already been actively trying to lock down a host. Reportedly, Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney have been offered the gig, but both have turned it down.
This is especially disappointing news for Mulaney fans, who have been clamoring for him to host ever since he killed at the Academy’s Governors Awards and delighted the crowd at last year’s Oscars, when he presented the award for Achievement in Sound and reminded us all of the magic of the movies how downright goofy Field of Dreams really was.

Mulaney had been tipped as a successor after his supporting turn this year, when Kimmel presented the awards show for a fourth time
A host for next year’s Academy Awards is being headhunted, after the role was declined by chatshow host Jimmy Kimmel – whose stint in March marked his fourth time in the role – and comedian John Mulaney.
Mulaney had been tipped by many, after praise for his stint as a presenter in the March ceremony, in which he delivered an extended riff on the Kevin Costner film Field of Dreams. He also hosted the Governors Awards in January, which award honorary Oscars.

Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney each declined separate offers from ABC to host the 2025 Academy Awards, according to media reports.
The late night host was an expected contender for the gig, as he’s hosted Hollywood’s biggest night four times before in 2017, 2018, 2023 and 2024. He currently ranks as the fourth most frequent Oscars host behind Johnny Carson’s five, Billy Crystal’s nine and Bob Hope’s 19. He declined the invitation for 2025 earlier this summer.
Mulaney, on the other hand, was riding a swell of support to host next year’s Oscars after memorably presenting at this year’s and hosting the Governor’s Awards.

Kevin Costner got his breakthrough in the industry with many successful hits in the late 80s that made him a household name. After appearing in various roles in films like Chasing Dreams, Table for Five, and Silverado, Costner gained prominence as the lead of Brian de Palma’s crime drama The Untouchables.

The actor’s star power rose with the back-to-back successes of No Way Out, Field of Dreams, and Bull Durham. After that, Costner wanted to write and direct a passion project that he had, which ultimately became 1990’s Dances With Wolves. However, that meant turning down another high-profile film that would have paid him an insane paycheck he could have only dreamt of.

No, we don’t think there is a friendship in Tinseltown more storied or star-studded than the dynamic duo of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Since their early days in the ethereal cornfields of Phil Alden Robinson’s Field of Dreams, these kindred spirits have been thick as thieves, a pair whose bond would make even the stars jealous.
But it was not until they struck Oscar gold with Gus Van Sant’s masterpiece Good Will Hunting that their names became etched in our hearts, catapulting them from boys-next-door to A-list actors.

This past week was a huge one for John Mulaney. Sure he got married to Olivia Munn, but most importantly, he was a contestant on a TV game show!
Mulaney appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, along with his Oh, Hello co-star Nick Kroll. This season will find all the famous contestants competing as pairs, either because it leads to more fun cross-talk, or because two celebrities have the combined intelligence of one regular person.
One question the duo was asked early on involved Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, specifically, the title of a recent book about the legendary film critics by Matt Singer, which nods to their “signature gesture.” Some of the options included “Cold Feet” and “Restless Legs.”
Mulaney responded by launching into an anecdote about a decades-old interaction with one-half of Siskel and Ebert. “My friend in Chicago lived below Siskel,...

Kevin Costner made a big bet on himself and his “Yellowstone”-driven fanbase to make his passion project “Horizon: An American Saga.” But it’s looking like his gamble isn’t paying off.
Released in 3,334 locations, the $100 million western epic – the first of a planned four films with the second chapter coming in August – grossed only $11 million this weekend, on target with its pre-release tracking that projected a $10-12 million start.
But more concerning for “Horizon” is the mixed word-of-mouth the film is receiving from audiences after getting a tepid 40% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics. The film received a B- on CinemaScore and an Rt audience score of 69%, decreasing the likelihood that this opening weekend will springboard into a strong Fourth of July result in rural states that could allow it to leg out through the month.

Some of our younger readers might not remember this, but in the early 1990s, Kevin Costner was objectively the biggest thing in Hollywood.
The impressive streak of Field of Dreams, Dances With Wolves, JFK, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and The Bodyguard cemented Costner's place as one of the most bankable box office draws of his generation.
The fact that Costner wrote, directed, and starred in Wolves -- which went on to win several Oscars, including Best Picture -- had many industry scribes drawing comparisons to a young Orson Welles.
A Walking Cautionary Tale
But even the brightest stars can be eclipsed by a string of historic flops, and by the end of the decade, Costner's name was synonymous with "box office poison."
1995's Waterworld and 1997's The Postman -- both written, directed by, and starring Costner -- were such colossal (and colossally expensive) failures that they combined to make...

Kevin Costner became a big name in the industry in the late 80s with films such as The Untouchables, No Way Out, Bull Durham, and Field of Dreams. He started to have more voice in the production of his films and what kind of films he wanted to make. After his incredible directorial debut with Dances With Wolves, he continued making hits such as JFK and The Bodyguard.

Few actors have transcended film culture like Kevin Costner. The actor remains one of the best performers of athletic prowess on screen. He also became a mainstay of the Western, eventually transitioning that talent to Yellowstone. The popular TV series provided enough steam for Costner to return to the director’s chair, building an epic series he’s been trying to make for years. With Horizon: An American Saga debuting its first part on June 28th, we revisited the icon’s filmography to highlight his best movies.
7. Dances with Wolves (1990)

Here's a classic from Hollywood's "Nobody Knows Anything" files (a three-word bit of industry wisdom coined by "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" screenwriter William Goldman in his book "Adventures in the Screen Trade").
You didn't need to know much of anything about the film business in the fall of 1992 to predict the box office success of Mick Jackson's "The Bodyguard." Kevin Costner was at the height of his movie stardom coming off the previous year's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and "JFK," while his co-star Whitney Houston (making her big-screen acting debut) was one of the most popular recording artists on the planet. The film would have to be an all-time turkey to fall short of profitability.
Based on a 17-year-old screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan, "The Bodyguard" underwhelmed critics, but connected strongly enough with its target audience to pull in $122 million at the domestic box office (on a reasonable $25 million budget). The film,...

Kevin Costner has been defying the odds for more than 40 years.
After filming numerous flashback scenes for 1983’s The Big Chill, the movie that was poised to be his big break, he learned he had been cut out of the film entirely… but then that film’s director, Lawrence Kasdan, decided to give him another shot, casting him in a plum part in 1985’s Silverado, which made him a star.
Not long after, as a burgeoning A-lister, he was warned to avoid baseball movies because they rarely did business at the box office… but then he decided to make two of them within a year of each other, 1988’s Bull Durham and 1989’s Field of Dreams, and both turned out to be blockbusters.
More recently, after decades in the spotlight, his big screen career was flagging, and he signed up to star on a television series that would air on...

America’s favorite pastime is getting another life onscreen.
In the wake of “Field of Dreams,” “Bad News Bears,” and “The Sandlot,” a new crop of baseball features have swung onto the field of latest releases. Adam Sandler’s long-awaited reunion with director Josh Safdie includes baseball memorabilia; Austin Butler is teaming up with Darren Aronofsky to play a former high school baseball prospect turned alcoholic bartender who gets caught up in a crime-fueled treasure hunt in “Caught Stealing”; and cinematographer Carson Lund made his directorial debut with adult rec team coming-of-age drama “Eephus,” which debuted at Cannes 2024.
Now, baseball is going the way of heartfelt family drama for “You Gotta Believe.”

Hollywood star Kevin Costner has portrayed a wide variety of roles over many decades. From action to drama to romance, the veteran has proved his mettle in many genres while also becoming a commercially successful star at the box office. One of his marquee films that made a big impact on audiences was 1989’s Field Of Dreams.

This sports fantasy drama about baseball and its legends, inspired Major League Baseball (MLB) to start a special game that is played in a ballpark adjacent to the cornfield in Dyersville, Iowa where the film was set and got its title from. More than 3 decades later, Costner appeared as a special invitee for the game and gave spectators goosebumps as he recreated an iconic moment from the film.

Moving into acting during the start of the ‘90s, Will Smith has built himself to be one of the most bankable faces in Hollywood. Grossing over $9.3 billion globally, his movies have always struck a chord with the audience. Famed for his versatility in roles ranging from sci-fi to action-comedy with the likes of Men In Black and Bad Boys being his most celebrated outings, he has, though, contributed much more poignantly to cinema.

Kevin Costner has scored some really epic projects throughout his decades-long career, with Field of Dreams (1989), Dances with Wolves (1990), and Yellowstone (2018) ranking among his top bests.
But while he has achieved a lot of success and stardom through the same, it seems like not all of his co-stars shared that pleasant experience while working with him.

This stands especially true while talking about his 1989 sports/fantasy masterpiece, considering the minimal but interestingly not-so-nice things Costner’s younger co-star and actress Gaby Hoffmann had to say about working with him.
In comparison, she had a ton of better things to say while gushing on and on about working with Ray Liotta, who was another one of her co-stars in the film.

At 69 years of age, Kevin Costner leads by example in Hollywood in terms of his acting range and command of the skills. The veteran actor has acted, produced, and even directed several productions across various genres.
Famed for his gravitating on-screen persona, he has held commanding roles both as a lead and as a supporting member of the cast, with his versatility ranging from Waterworld and The Untouchables to Field of Dreams and Man of Steel.

When we think of the best hosts in the history of the Academy Awards, names like Billy Crystal, Bob Hope and Ellen DeGeneres typically top the list. And while Jimmy Kimmel has been an industry favorite as of late with four hosting gigs, there is the call for a new name to host the Oscars: John Mulaney. After hosting the Academy’s Governors Awards last year, Mulaney inadvertently jockeyed himself into position as an Oscar host candidate…and he’s not opposed to it, either.
When prompted by IndieWire whether he would sign on as host of the Oscars, John Mulaney said, “I hosted the Governors Awards, and I really had fun doing that. I will say: I’m open to whatever. I personally have an affinity for [something lower key]. It’s so fun to try to do your absolute best at not the biggest award show, like the Spirit Awards or Governors Awards.

We can’t get enough of John Mulaney these days.
After winning his third Emmy last year for writing his Netflix stand-up special “Baby J,” where he spoke candidly (and hilariously) about his stint in rehab for addiction, the former “Saturday Night Live” writer has risen from the ashes like a comically witty Phoenix.
In the Emmy race once again this year in multiple categories, most notably for guest comedy actor for his performance in the brilliant episode “Fishes” from FX’s second season of “The Bear” and outstanding talk series for the Netflix live smash “Everybody’s in L.A.”

According to IMDb data from the past week, the new Netflix series "Eric" was the most popular title on the site. The disturbing thriller—which stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a grieving father and puppeteer—has had sustained interest since its May 30th premiere, thanks to its polarizing effect on audiences, in addition to strong central performances by Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffman (more on her later).
‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ was the top movie among IMDb users last week, despite the fact that it was outperformed at the box office by both ‘The Garfield Movie’ and John Krasinski’s ‘IF’ during these sluggish early days of the 2024 summer movie season.
Gaby Hoffman was the top name on the site last week, thanks to her performance as Cassie Anderson in the aforementioned “Eric.” Hoffman started as a child actress in films like ‘Field of Dreams’ and ‘Uncle Buck,’ but is more recently known for her role as Ali Pfefferman on Prime Video’s “Transparent,” a role that earned her two Emmy nominations. Other top names last week were Morena Baccarin, who celebrated a birthday and stars in the upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ Nicola Coughlan of “Bridgerton” fame, and Anya Taylor-Joy of ‘Furiosa.’
Kaiju fans are also stomping over to IMDb to learn more about ‘Godzilla Minus One,’ which just landed on Netflix. The Oscar-winning Japanese film was a surprise hit, and movie fans who missed the theatrical run have been patiently waiting for a streaming release. The movie premiered way back in October 2023, an eternity in the streaming age.
Finally, horror aficionados are keeping the conversation around ‘The First Omen’ alive now that the prequel has arrived on Hulu. The spike in interest is no surprise after the film’s successful theatrical run, good word of mouth from critics and audiences, and a strong central performance from Nell Tiger Free. Could ‘The Second First Omen’ be on the table? Fingers crossed.

Kevin Costner has been a very committed actor who continues to give his all with every film he does. His breakout role in The Untouchables led him to many acclaimed performances in films like Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, and A Perfect World among others. He has also established himself as a great filmmaker directing two impressive westerns Dances With Wolves and Open Range.

Costner has been dreaming about his passion project Horizon: An American Saga since the 90s, envisioning it as a four-film saga. Costner has already shot the first two films and recently premiered the first film at Cannes. Unfortunately, it received mediocre reviews which put into question the fate of the remaining three films, in addition to the actor/director finding problems filming parts 3 and 4.

Over the years, Matt Damon has turned into one of the biggest names in Hollywood. He was the protagonist of his own film series, has been in many Oscar-winning projects, has been nominated for the award five times himself, and even won once. It is safe to say that he is one of the most talented, respected, and recognized actors in the film industry.

While he has come to be known through these adjectives, he was also once a lesser-known actor. Every A-list star had to start somewhere, and many years ago, Damon worked as an extra in a Kevin Costner film alongside his long-time friend, Ben Affleck.

Here we are with another case of “Wait, that was a book first?” Although, having watched the movie for the first time and seeing its reputation online, this is also a case of “Wait, that was a movie?” William Friedkin was a master filmmaker and although most of his stone-cold classics happened before 1990, he proved he still had plenty in the tank with things like The Hunted and Bug to name a couple. He was a replacement director which seems surreal considering his talents and he was one of 3 credited writers on a little remembered horror movie adaptation from 1990. The Guardian (watch it Here) is based on The Nanny from 1987 and it’s a strange pairing of source material and finished product. Both pieces of media are mostly slept on in their respective fields but how close did Friedkin and the other writers come to matching the book? Always do...

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are unforgettable actors. And even early in their careers, they stood out in a sea of extras, according to Kevin Costner.
In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Costner recalled his memories of the young stars working on Field of Dreams.
“They were sitting in the stands, like college guys, and they came up, and they both leaned in at the same time, leaned back at the same time, looked at each other at the same time as we talked,” he says. “And they had this big enthusiasm. They were on fire. I do remember them, absolutely.”
Jimmy Kimmel then read a text message from Damon, who recalled the moment from his perspective.

Kevin Costner, the guest on this year’s Cannes Film Festival live episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, is one of the most admired actors and filmmakers of his time, and has been for some 40 years, with credits to his name including The Untouchables, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, JFK, The Bodyguard, Hatfiels & McCoys and Yellowstone.

Kevin Costner arrived at the Cannes Film Festival surrounded by his children on Sunday night for the premiere of his new film Horizon: An American Saga. The appearance marked a rare reunion of the entire Costner family on the international stage, showcasing the close-knit bonds that have defined this Hollywood dynasty.
The Costner family looked elegant together as they walked the red carpet. Kevin, known for iconic movies like Dances with Wolves and Field of Dreams, led the way with his engaging presence.
His daughters Lily, Grace Avery and Annie looked beautiful in their dresses, and his sons Cayden Wyatt and Hayes looked dashing in their suits.
The family reunion on the French Riviera showed how close the Costners are, even though Kevin divorced his wife, Nicole Baumgartner, last year in an acrimonious divorce. He has worked hard to maintain strong bonds with all his children from his previous marriages.

Kevin Costner is set to premiere his longtime dream project Horizon at the Cannes Film Festival.

Most baseball movies are not, per se, about baseball. To take some examples: The Natural is about a prodigy overcoming trauma; Eight Men Out is about greed and corruption; Bad News Bears is a foul-mouthed coming-of-age flick; Bull Durham is all about Kevin Costner’s sex appeal; Moneyball carries the sport into the information age; and Field of Dreams (Costner, again) is haunted by the ghosts of baseball past.
First-time director Carson Lund clearly had this in mind when he made his feature debut Eephus, a movie steeped in nostalgia for the game itself, as well as what it represents for a bunch of men past their prime: the long afternoons in the sun, the trash-talking at the plate, the brewskies in the cooler and the kind of camaraderie you can only find in the dugout.

However, the actor later revealed that he was not the sole contender chosen to play the midwestern farmer who builds a baseball field in his backyard, as Robin Williams was also considered for the role before the filmmaker changed his mind.

Kevin Costner was on a roll with his baseball-based movies in the 1980s & ’90s, starting with the 1988 film Bull Durham. The film featured Costner in the role of veteran catcher ‘Crash’ Davis, who is brought in to teach rookie pitcher Nuke, played by Tim Robbins. The film was a critical and commercial success, but it was also a topic of discussion among some online fans for one scene in the film. It is rumored that Costner made a young bat boy cry during the film.

Costner responded to those accusations years later, sharing that he didn’t know if he actually made the boy cry. However, the Yellowstone star clarified that he did only what director Ron Shelton had told him to do in the particular scene.

Kevin Costner enjoyed John Mulaney’s Field of Dreams bit at the 2024 Oscars.
Costner told People the comedian’s explanation of the movie’s plot was “amazing.”
“I couldn’t believe that guy. Amazing. I watched it a second time,” Costner said.
“What a chance, because there’s always people in the Oscars trying to rush you,” he said. “And he went fast. But what he said, I was very touched by it. I should talk to him, because I was really impressed. He was a genius.”
“I loved what he did.”
Mulaney was presenting the award for Best Sound when he brought up Field of Dreams.
“Or what about that moment in Field of Dreams where we hear ‘If you build it, he will come,’ and then Costner does it, he builds a baseball field,” Mulaney said. “Or I guess he doesn’t build it — he mows down corn,...

Martin Scorsese fans might have experienced a bit of deja vu after Variety exclusively reported that a Frank Sinatra biopic is one of two films the Oscar-winning director is planning to shoot back to back. The other is a movie about Jesus, the director’s second after 1988’s “The Last Temptation of Christ.” But it’s the Sinatra biopic that has long been a white whale of sorts for Scorsese.
Per Variety’s report, Scorsese’s Sinatra movie is eyeing his longtime muse Leonardo DiCaprio to star as the crooner — and the actor’s “Don’t Look Up” co-star Jennifer Lawrence to play his second wife, the famous Hollywood actress Ava Gardner (who factored into Scorsese’s “The Aviator” and was played by Kate Beckinsale). Sony is reportedly the frontrunner to nab the project, which Scorsese once tried and failed to get off the ground several years ago.

Back in 1989, Kevin Costner starred in an iconic drama film called Field of Dreams. With a man hearing voices and a diamond vision urging him to make a baseball field, the movie was, no doubt, greeted with love and open arms.
As per recent news, NBC was going to convert that film into a TV series that would have starred Andre Braugher and Nick Offerman in iconic roles! Well, sadly, the series was eventually canceled and the fans never got to know about it until today!

Oliver Stone is more than just a filmmaker. The man enlisted in the United States Army during the time of the Vietnam War and when he returned, he decided to tell the harrowing stories of war through the art of filmmaking. His 1986 film Platoon starring was one such film, but it could’ve ended up looking a bit different if actors like Keanu Reeves and Kevin Costner had agreed to be a part of it.

So why did they turn down a film that would go on to become critically acclaimed, do great at the box office, and receive not one, but four Academy Awards? Well, given the fact that the film was based on the Vietnam War and Oliver Stone’s firsthand experience with it, the topic might have been a bit too much for the actors.

Well, given the fact that the film was based on the Vietnam War and Oliver Stone’s firsthand experience with it, the topic might have been a bit too much for the actors.

Believe it or not, even the most beloved movies can face initial skepticism from actors. Field of Dreams, a 1989 classic, became more than just a sports movie. It delved into deeper themes like redemption, family, and the importance of pursuing dreams. Despite its universal appeal, Ray Liotta, who played the memorable character “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, wasn’t immediately sold on the story.
