Hollywood star John Malkovich has delivered exceptional performances throughout his career, always bringing something fresh to his characters. However, despite his on-screen prowess, the actor was anxious about the prospect of leading Clint Eastwood’s 1992 Western film, Unforgiven.

Starring Eastwood alongside Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, the film was a major success, winning four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. However, before Eastwood took on the role of William Munny in the acclaimed Western, John Malkovich was considered for the part but was surprisingly relieved when he didn’t get it.

If you're not up for contributing to "Deadpool & Wolverine" absolutely obliterating the box office, you can always turn to streaming for your entertainment fix. Of course, as we all know by now, doing so is somewhat akin to wading into a dangerous and stagnant swamp from which you might never escape. Everyone has experienced the despair that comes with endlessly scrolling streaming catalogs wondering how, when everything is at our fingertips, there's nothing to watch. Well, now a real hero has arrived in the form of Bruce Willis.
Yes, the man himself may have retired from acting following his 2023 diagnosis of frontotemporal degeneration, but he remains a hero to us all, and is proving his remarkably enduring appeal once again. This time, he's doing just that by cutting through the murk of the Netflix swamp with 2010's "Red," an adaptation of Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner's comic book...

Denzel Washington is about as accomplished an actor as you can get. Not only does the man exude effortless on-screen charisma in a way few others have, he's proven he can play pretty much anything you throw at him. From an unstoppable action hero in the "Equalizer" movies to a troubled, brooding Shakespearean general in the expressionist nightmare that was Joel Cohen's "The Tragedy of Macbeth," Denzel can simply do it all.
Now, it seems Washington will make yet another big impression in "Gladiator 2," with the actor set to play Macrinus, a power broker and arms dealer who aids Paul Mescal's Lucius Verus II in his quest to topple Rome. It should be yet another triumph for Washington, who no matter what he's in, seems like one of the safest bets a director can make.

Once upon a time, four-time Academy Award-winner Woody Allen was considered one of America's finest filmmakers. There was a realistic and lived-in feeling to his characters, all of whom were armed with a tongue so sharp they could shred a piece of paper into confetti. Allen often acted in his films, and his distinct vocal inflections and pattern of speaking made him a figure like William Shatner, Christopher Walken, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in that just about everyone has a Woody Allen impression. But the now semi-retired filmmaker is known for more than just his filmography, trademark stammer, or repetitive statements — Allen has also been accused of sexually assaulting his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow and made headlines when he married his former partner Mia Farrow's adoptive step-daughter Soon-Yi Previn, despite having known her since she was 10 years old.

Brad Pitt mostly had romantic roles in fantasy movies until the role of David Mills in Se7en came along. The David Fincher film established him as an A-lister in Hollywood and he went on to act in the projects of legendary filmmakers. One moment from David Fincher’s intense serial killer film would make any fan laugh out loud after knowing its behind-the-scene story.

Can you predict which actor, actress or director will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2025 Golden Globes? Well, at least we hope CBS will allow them to bring back this coveted award. For the 2024 ceremony, new producers opted not to present the DeMille (for a film legend) or the Carol Burnett Award (for a TV icon).
If the award returns, the selection committee will likely announce their life achievement recipient in the next few weeks. Vote in our poll below featuring 20 people all over 50 who deserve recognition.
The most recent ceremony in 2023 featured a tribute to Eddie Murphy. Actress Jane Fonda received the DeMille two years before.

We recently hosted a poll asking which TV legend should be the next person to receive the 2025 SAG life achievement award. The overwhelming top choice was Emmy and SAG winner Jean Smart. She received 31.84% of support among the 18 candidates we offered for consideration.
When we offered a similar poll last year, double Oscar winner Barbra Streisand was the top choice, and then she was indeed selected for this honor on the Screen Actors Guild Awards. We created a separate poll earlier this month about film legends with Meryl Streep receiving the most support over Glenn Close, Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Lange.
The SAG-AFTRA selection committee will likely be announcing their next recipient in the near future. The 2025 ceremony will be live February 23 streaming on Netflix.

If you're a big fan of trashy, popular airport mystery paperbacks, you probably know who James Patterson and Alex Cross are. Patterson is a highly successful author (he's the first person to ever sell one million e-books), and while these days he seems to let other people write for him and then just slaps his name on the cover and cashes a check, his early books were authored solo. And when he wrote those early books, he created Alex Cross, a character who has appeared in several books now. Cross is a brilliant Metropolitan Police Department detective who often hunts down twisted serial killers. He's the type of ready-for-the-screen character that people love to watch, so it makes sense that there have been multiple Alex Cross movies — and there's a new Alex Cross TV series on the way, too, headed to Prime Video.
For now, we're just going to focus on the movies.

In Hollywood, where dreams are made and broken with the toss of a coin, sometimes it seems like the deck is stacked against even the most deserving actors. Take Tom Cruise, for example, who has charmed audiences with his megawatt grin and natural charisma. Yet, according to director Oliver Stone, the actor was unfairly denied the chance to clutch an Academy Award in his hands.
Cruise’s role in Born on the Fourth of July truly mirrored his acting chops. And thus, it seemed like he was destined for greatness and the coveted ‘Best Actor’ award at the Oscars. However, as fate would have it, the actor found himself up against a fierce competition that included the likes of Kenneth Branagh, Morgan Freeman, Robin Williams, and Daniel Day-Lewis. The latter ultimately took home the Oscar for his role in My Left Foot.

The Dark Knight Trilogy is effortlessly one of the best Batman adaptations ever made (if not the best), and Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne and Tom Hardy’s Bane made sure to nail every sequence of it. Being incredibly talented method actors, both of them managed to deliver their scenes with such exuberance that made the grounded movie one of the most worthwhile experiences ever.

However, as opposed to other adaptations where the Caped Crusader was shown physically fit to the point of enduring a brawl with someone as powerful as Superman, this grounded version couldn’t quite leave that effect. This was especially true in The Dark Knight Rises, where Hardy’s terrorist’s one punch to Bale’s superhero had their entire fight looking like a joke to fans.

In all of the vastly spread entertainment industry, perhaps no name comes as close to legendary as Morgan Freeman’s does.

A total of 36 individuals earned their first Primetime Emmy acting nominations in 2024, including “Feud” stars Naomi Watts and Tom Hollander and recent Oscar also-rans Lily Gladstone (“Under the Bridge”) and Ryan Gosling (“Saturday Night Live”). A standout among these newbies is Paul Rudd, who is the only one in the group with shots at two performance wins: Best Comedy Supporting Actor (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Best Narrator (“Secrets of the Octopus”).
Rudd could now make Emmys history as the eighth doubly-nominated first-timer to triumph on at least one of his bids. The first to do so was Robert Cummings, who simultaneously won for “12 Angry Men” and lost for “My Hero” in 1955. He was followed by Jack Albertson, Eileen Brennan, Jane Lynch, Riz Ahmed, Ann Dowd, and Ali Wong.
Twenty-six acting Emmy newcomers (13 male and 13 female) preceded Rudd in being concurrently nominated for more than one performance. Aside from Ahmed,...

The Dark Knight put a bold new spin on The Joker courtesy of a transformative take on the Clown Prince of Crime from the late Heath Ledger.
While Joaquin Phoenix came close to reaching the same heights as his predecessor (Suicide Squad star Jared Leto did not), no one has managed to top what Ledger did in the eyes of most DC fans.
Had the Oscar winner not died, he'd have reprised the role in The Dark Knight Rises. It's been said that it would have boiled down to little more than an Arkham Asylum-set cameo, though others believe he could have joined Bane in unleashing chaos on Gotham City.
Regardless, we now get a glimpse at what might have been thanks to a new Hot Toys figure which introduces "The Joker (Batman Imposter Version)."

Actress Minnie Driver was the ‘it girl’ of ‘90s Hollywood, as she was touted to be the next big star after her Oscan-nominated performance in Good Will Hunting. While she was expected to hit the levels of stardom of other starlets like Kate Winslet and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Driver has chosen to work on more independent and small-scale productions.
Driver’s last blockbuster film, Hard Rain, was reportedly not a good experience. Apart from being a box office bomb, the filming conditions were reportedly extreme and miserable due to it being set around a natural disaster. To top it off, Driver reportedly fought with the producer over miserable working conditions.
