Deep in the forests of Germany, there is a resort, a quaint getaway nestled right at the bottom of the Bavarian Alps. Step out of your car, and you immediately feel like you’re stepping into a postcard; you half expect men in lederhosen, hoisting large steins of Pilsner, to greet you as walk toward the lobby. It’s so picturesque that you might not notice the strange noise emanating from within the woods right next to the guest houses. It’s faint, but very shrill. Something feels weird about that sound,...

Deadpool & Wolverine Star Emma Corrin’s Performance Didn’t Require Much Physicality - Main Image
Deadpool & Wolverine's Emma Corrin expected that their massive role in the MCU as Cassandra Nova would involve actual 'physical transformation' and training. However, Marvel executives had other plans in mind.
Deadpool & Wolverine's Cassandra Nova Actor Was Preparing For A Much More Ruthless Battle
Charles Xavier's evil twin, Cassandra Nova (played by Emma Corrin), rules The Void from the Tva and she's not letting two unlikely mutants destroy her chance at conquering the Multiverse. Who knew she didn't have to literally lift a finger to gain the upper hand against the ketchup and mustard duo?
Usually, comic book heroes would require more strength in executing stunts for the big screens, but as it turns out, Corrin's case is different.

When initially a video of David Tennant and Michael Sheen brutally humiliating each other appeared online during the pandemic, netizens almost went stunned by their biting exchanges. Considering how the Harry Potter star and the Twilight actor are best buddies, it seemed shocking to fathom that they were openly mocking each other and their careers.

The particular video certainly fooled a lot of people, until it was revealed that the mockery was a spontaneous part of their comedy series Staged. Airing on BBC iPlayer, parts of their provocative comments and brilliant takedowns made rounds on the internet, fooling people. But while it appeared to be a brutal mockery of each other, in reality, their playful banter was rooted in a deep friendship.

Emma Corrin is teasing their new role in the Deadpool & Wolverine film, where they star opposite Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
Corrin plays Cassandra Nova, Dr. Charles Xavier’s villainous twin sister, in the new Marvel Studios film. For the role, they drew inspiration from characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Inglourious Basterds.
“I drew inspiration from Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds, which was Ryan’s reference when we started,” Corrin told People in an interview referring to Christopher Waltz’s character in the Quentin Tarantino film.
Corrin added, “And then not a villain, but I was really inspired by Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka. Sort of a nonchalant, detached power.”
In a previous interview, Corrin said they wanted to pay homage to the actors who have previously played Charles Xavier, such as Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy.
“I did look back at those two performances,” they told Screen Rant.

Cameras are now rolling on director Luc Besson's new take on Dracula, with his DogMan star Caleb Landry Jones on board to play the legendary Transylvanian Count.
The movie is titled Dracula: A Love Tale, and is described as a “a big-budget reimagining” of the vampire's origin story.
Deadline has shared a first look at the movie, giving us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Jones in his armor, presumably as a pre-vampire Prince Vlad "The Impaler" Tepes.
“It’s a totally romantic approach,” Besson says of his adaptation. “There’s a romantic side in Bram Stoker’s book that hasn’t been explored that much. It’s a love story about a man who waits for 400 years for the reincarnation of his wife. That’s the true heart of the story, waiting an eternity for the return of love.”

Earlier this year, it was announced that director Luc Besson would be making Dracula movie called Dracula: A Love Tale, a “big-budget reimagining” of the Dracula concept that will feature “some epic and potentially spectacular set pieces.” that project is now several months into production, aiming to wrap up this month – and Deadline has just shared a behind the scenes image that shows Besson and Caleb Landry Jones, who just worked with Besson on his most recent film, Dogman – with Jones in costume as Dracula! An edited version of the image can be seen above, and the full image can be found at the bottom of this article.

Exclusive: Caleb Landry Jones extends a gnarly bejewelled hand as he arrives on the set of Luc Besson’s gothic drama Dracula: A Love Tale.
The Three Boards and Nitram actor is unrecognizable after four hours in make-up. His already tall frame augmented by platform shoes, he towers over Besson, the cast and the crew.
“How are you?” asks Jones, staying in character with a thick Transylvanian accent and syntax, adding in response to a comment on his appearance: “They done incredible… this man back here, he make everything.”
Jones has appeared at the end of a tour of the extensive Dracula: A Love Tale set in the vast Darkmatters studio southwest of Paris, conducted by Besson. Above is a first behind-the-scenes look at the actor as the blood-smeared Count.

As with leading men, the winner of Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars is usually one of the more seasoned competitors. Of the 88 winners to date, only four Best Supporting Actor champs were in their 20s and just 15 were thirtysomething, including 2021 champ Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Messiah”). The 2024 winner, Robert Downey, Jr., was 58 when he picked up his prize for “Oppenheimer.” He joined 16 previous winners who were in their 50s when they took home the trophy. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Supporting Actor.)
Eleven more men were in their 60s when they won Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards. For eight fellows, it took till they were in their 70s to win while two (George Burns for “The Sunshine Boys” and Christopher Plummer for “Beginners”) were north of 80 when they took home their only Oscars.
At the 2019 Academy Awards, Mahershala Ali won “Green Book.

More than 15 years into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we've seen a sizable number of villains that have run the gamut from street-level bad guys like Kingpin to universe-threatening, god-like beings such as Thanos. Next up, we'll see "The Crown" star Emma Corrin put their stamp on the McU's roster of baddies as Cassandra Nova, a character who has quite a wild origin story in Marvel Comics history. So, where did Corrin turn for inspiration to craft their villain? "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," of all places.
Corrin was recently the subject of a cover story for GQ. During the conversation, it was revealed that the actor took inspiration from a couple of cinematic classics. They referred to Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka as "one of the best villains of all time," right alongside Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds." Both influenced their take on Cassandra Nova.

For most actors, joining a massive comic book franchise comes with the obligation of taking on a grueling fitness regimen to get into superhero shape. But Emma Corrin’s upcoming villainous turn in “Deadpool & Wolverine” came with slightly different instructions.
In a new video interview with British GQ, the non-binary actor explained that they were excited about the challenge of working out for the film, but were told by Marvel executives that it wasn’t necessary.
“This is funny because I did ask if I could have a personal trainer and they said no,” Corrin said. “They said I don’t have to undergo any physical training. I was so ready to undergo a huge transformation but they were like, ‘That’s absolutely not required of you. Please stand down.’ I tried.”
Corrin went on to explain that her take on the villain Cassandra Nova relies more on charm than being physically imposing.

Emma Corrin took inspiration from a few different villains while preparing for their take on Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine.
While speaking with British GQ before the Deadpool sequel’s release, the actor opened up about their research for the role and what originally drew them to the X-Men supervillain, who is also Charles Xavier’s sister.
For the role, they dove into the world of cinema’s classic antagonists, including Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka, who they consider “one of the best villains of all time,” and Christoph Waltz’s Nazi officer in Inglourious Basterds.
“There’s something extravagant in Gene Wilder’s performance,” Corrin told the publication. “And it’s a similar energy that Christoph Waltz has in Inglourious Basterds because he’s wearing a uniform so he can sit there and drink a glass of milk and pretend he’s a fucking fairy godmother.”

A Chinese trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine was released yesterday and, seeing as it appeared to be identical to the English language version, we included it at the bottom of this spoiler-filled article.
However, it took fans on social media little to no time to notice some big changes in the sneak peek. For starters, with the movie now completed, colour grading has been added which alters how the threequel looks fairly significantly.
Early sneak peeks were criticised for being bland, with many quick to share side-by-side comparisons of the difference between Deadpool & Wolverine's Void and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga's Wasteland.

Emma Corrin revealed in a video interview with British GQ that they requested a personal trainer in order to transform into the villainous Cassandra Nova for Marvel’s “Deadpool and Wolverine,” but the studio rejected their proposal. It turns out undergoing a physical transformation was not what the Marvel team was envisioning for Corrin’s MCU debut.
“This is funny because I did ask if I could have a personal trainer and they said no,” Corrin said. “They said I don’t have to undergo any physical training. I was so ready to undergo a huge transformation but they were like, ‘That’s absolutely not required of you. Please stand down.’ I tried.”

Deadpool & Wolverine is shaping up to be Marvel’s next grand success, with an estimated opening of upwards of $200 million if pre-release ticket sales are to be believed. The film is set to feature a host of cameos, while also being the feature-length debut of mutants in the MCU.
However, as they say, a story is only as good as its villain, and Emma Corrin, who essays the role of Cassandra Nova, has crafted their villainous persona for the character by taking inspiration from two very exciting legends of Hollywood.

Fans have already received a glimpse of Cassandra Nova, and based on the conversation that Emma Corrin had with EW regarding the character, it is easy to see how their inspirations and conversations with Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds have worked their way into how the character has been portrayed.

Life is unpredictable, and any small or large incident can entirely derail a person’s path. True to this statement is Jeremy Renner, whose snowplow accident in January 1, 2023 profoundly altered the trajectory of his life. The actor suffered traumatic chest trauma and orthopedic injuries when his 14,000-pound Sno-Cat ran over him.

Renner has always been a gym devotee, as seen by the six-pack abs he displayed in his role in Hawkeye. However, fitness has taken on a new meaning for the actor. He echoed the same attitude in an interview with Men’s Health for their most recent Gym and Fridge series.

The neo-Western crime thriller, Wind River, was Taylor Sheridan’s true directorial debut and starred Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. The duo played a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tracker and an FBI agent respectively, who investigate the death of Natalie Hanson. Sheridan had eyed Chris Pine at one point when Renner had become unavailable for the role. Luckily for Renner, Pine landed the role of Steve Trevor in the Dceu film, Wonder Woman.

Sheridan and Renner went on to create a film that would put Sheridan on the map of Hollywood. His project, Yellowstone, benefitted from the hype of Renner’s film. However, the Hawkeye actor’s casting also became a subject of controversy in the film.

![Antony Starr in The Boys (2019)](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BY2YzYzc2NGItN2MyMi00NzRiLThlYjktZmU5MjlmMDI4MzZhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTUzMTg2ODkz._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,26,500,281_.jpg)
Javier Bardem in ‘No Country for Old Men.’ Christoph Waltz in ‘Inglorious Basterds.’ Malcolm McDowell in ‘A Clockwork Orange.’ Allison Williams in ‘Get Out.’ It seems that when it comes to portraying sinister characters on screen, a love of milk is a common trait. Why do so many movie and TV villains love to drink milk?
Perhaps it’s the contrast with the wholesome associations people have with milk, symbolic of youth and innocence. According to Antony Starr, who plays the deliciously depraved Homelander on "The Boys," the character's milk obsession started in Season 1 as a "rivalry” with the baby of Madelyn Stillwell, his handler/lover/mother played by Elisabeth Shue. In an interview with IMDb, Starr explained it was “jealous, Oedipal thing."
The actor revealed that the milk gags became a running bit, with the writers incorporating more dairy-themed moments as the show progressed. After the first memorable milk-drinking scene, the actor emailed showrunner Eric Kripke to say “we’ve got to do more milk.” “He was like, 'Way ahead of you. I'm writing milk into everything from here on,'" Starr said.
The cast—including Chace Crawford, Erin Moriarty, Claudia Doumit, Karen Fukuhara, Susan Heyward, Colby Minifie, and Valorie Curry—also weighed in on which scene they think the show should be known for. Crawford—who plays troubled supe The Deep—cited the truly diabolical airplane sequence from Season 1, in which Homelander decides he’s unable to save an airplane full of passengers. “That was one of my favorites for sure,” he said. “That sort of encompasses the world of the show.”
Watch the IMDb interview here.
The first three episodes of Season 4 dropped Thursday, June 12, with new episodes arriving weekly on Prime Video. Expect more milk jokes for Homelander, as "The Boys" tap into the delightfully demented trope of onscreen villains’ dairy habits.

The Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaborations are certainly prolific. While Depp was a teen star on the Fox series 21 Jump Street, he had a weird creative force inside of him that a high school cop series didn’t fulfill. Then came a new movie called Edward Scissorhands that paired Depp with his long-time director friend. Deadline reports that Depp is being featured in a new docu-series that’s a retrospective on the career of Tim Burton, and the actor reveals who he beat out for the part of Edward.
According to People, Depp said the competition was stiff for the titular character and names like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and even the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, were being considered for the role. Depp explained that Cruise “was not far away from actually playing Edward Scissorhands — true story.” Depp admitted to thinking, “He’s never going to cast...

Jeremy Renner is an actor who came into limelight after a lot of struggle. Working as an extra, side characters, or being in music videos, it took some time before Renner became the household name he is today. But it would be wrong to say that he only gained commercial success, as his talent in acting even got him two Oscar nods in his career.

And even before that, he had the Bourne and Mission Impossible franchises to his name, where he made his mark as an action hero. But there is one label Renner dislikes being attached to his name.

Mads Mikkelsen...Cillian Murphy...Giancarlo Esposito...by now, we know you've seen the same old names suggested for the McU's Doctor Doom time and time again.
With The Fantastic Four fast approaching and rumours swirling that the Latverian dictator will appear in a post-credits scene, all signs point to us meeting the new Victor Von Doom as soon as next year. However, none of the popular decisions listed above seem like a perfect fit to us.
In this feature, we've rounded up several alternative suggestions who would each be suitably terrifying and formidable as the McU's Doom. Crucially, they're not the names you'd necessarily expect to see.
To find out who we think could square off with Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing as a villain capable of being the next Saga's big bad, click on the "Next"/"View List" buttons below.

American films and television invariably brush up against the issue of language. Since these stories are made for mass appeal — and said mass is English-speaking audiences — the films will depict characters speaking English even if that shouldn't be the case. Take films set during Roman times like "Spartacus" or "Gladiator," which have dialogue spoken only in English, not Latin or even a closer modern stand-in like Italian.
Then there are films with characters from different countries, yet the audience hears them all speaking the same tongue. Some handle this more cleverly than others; in "The Hunt for Red October," the Soviet characters are first heard speaking Russian before a quick switch to English -- letting the audience know while they're hearing English, the characters are hearing Russian.
"Shōgun," which recently went from mini-series to a two-season renewal, makes no attempt to hold its audience's hand. Set in 1600 Japan, Lord Yoshii...

Deadpool & Wolverine Stars Tease Cassandra Nova's "Unpredictability" And Reveal Surprise Inspiration
![Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYTE3MDJjOWItMzZiMi00Mzc1LWI2MjAtNzMyODliM2QzYTdlXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,0,500,281_.jpg)
While we've seen a lot from Deadpool & Wolverine in recent weeks, much of the threequel is shrouded in secrecy. The latest trailer offered a glimpse at the movie's villain, Cassandra Nova, though we still don't know what she's up to in The Void.
The prevailing theory is that the twisted twin sister of Professor X hails from the same reality as Deadpool & Wolverine's Logan. If she killed the X-Men before being pruned, it would go a long way in establishing Nova as a threat to the heroes and perhaps even the wider Multiverse.
In a profile of Emma Corrin on Harper's Bazaar, the actor (who uses they/them pronouns), refuses to say too much about playing the villain but confirmed Christoph Waltz's Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds was a key source of inspiration.

When it comes to trilogies, the third one often ends up being the weakest of them all, and unfortunately, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather 3 wasn’t immune to it. Released in 1990, 16 years after the sequel, the film failed to live up to the bar set by its predecessors, which are often regarded as some of the best the medium of cinema has to offer.
Moreover, due to salary disputes, the threequel didn’t see Robert Duvall’s Tom Hagen return, a character that was pivotal to Michael Corleone’s story in the first two entries. Later, when asked about his decision to stay out of the third one, Duvall had a pretty candid response.

It’s no secret that the main motivation behind reviving the franchise after over a decade was money.

Marvel Studios has found its big bad for The Fantastic Four, as Deadline has confirmed that Ralph Ineson (The First Omen) has been tapped for the role of Galactus.
News of his casting follows our break from earlier today concerning John Malkovich joining in a mystery role. As previously announced, the core cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka the Thing). Paul Walter Hauser is on in another undisclosed role, with Julia Garner set to play Shalla-Bal, a version of Silver Surfer.
A pivotal character in the Marvel Comics universe, Galactus originated from the creative minds of writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Making his debut in Fantastic Four #48 in 1966, Galactus originated as Galan a humanoid inhabitant of the planet Taa.

Penned by Karine Silla (“A Butterfly Kiss”), “Hell in Paradise” revolves around Nina, a young French girl who leaves her native Marseille and accepts her first job as a receptionist at a luxurious hotel resort on a magnificent island of the Maldives, hoping for a better life. But when a tragedy befalls the hotel, Nina is propelled in a relentless spiral of lies and manipulations. Wrongly accused and sentenced to life in prison, she will have no other choice but to run between traps and escape this paradise turned into hell.

Kevin Costner is heavily into Western drama when he’s not doing his sports drama films. The actor headlined Taylor Sheridan’s series set in a Montana ranch, Yellowstone. He’s also currently working on his two-part dream Western project, Horizon. With all his love for the cowboy genre, it would be surprising for fans to know that Costner turned down a villain role in Django Unchained.

Whether it has to do with his style of filmmaking or his maverick take on cinema, Quentin Tarantino stands apart from his contemporaries in Hollywood. The director has carved a niche for himself in the industry with his brand of storytelling that has caught the fancy of audiences across the world while also throwing up a lot of talking points regarding his stylized approach to violence.

Christoph Waltz is calling out the “posthumous sanctification” of late legendary actor Marlon Brando.
According to Waltz, the revelry around Brando’s legacy is “annoying,” to not mince words.
“Now it’s Brando’s 100th birthday. I read two articles and I found them both really annoying, and this posthumous sanctification […] to make him […] a mythology,” Waltz told Interview magazine while in conversation with Caleb Landry Jones. “And it’s ridiculous, because he was a ham.”
Waltz added of Brando, “In the beginning he was fantastic. No one had ever seen anything like it.”
However, Waltz also called Brando’s performance in “The Missouri Breaks” “difficult to watch.” He added that Brando’s reputation of being “difficult” on sets, or accusations of inappropriate conduct on the set of “The Last Tango in Paris,” did not affect his perspective on Brando’s acting ability.

After years of sustaining in the industry, Christoph Waltz landed his breakthrough role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (2009), which showered him with popularity and fame for his role as Hans Landa. However, despite achieving great success and even an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Waltz refused to reunite with Tarantino in 2012.

After watching Christoph Waltz perform and given the success of Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino wanted to collaborate with the actor once again in his 2012 movie Django Unchained. But according to WhatCulture, Waltz initially turned down the role of Schultz, until Tarantino fulfilled his one demand.

There are some actors who command the screen with their electric presence. Christoph Waltz is one of them. If the chilling Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds still gives viewers sleepless nights, the credit goes to Waltz for his stunning performance that deservedly won him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Christoph Waltz In Django Unchained
Following roles in Django Unchained, Water For Elephants and other marquee projects, the Austrian-German celebrity cemented his place as one of the most versatile and charismatic character actors in the industry. Expectedly, Waltz had some inspiring role models including the great Marlon Brando. But the actor also realized that even a veteran like Brando isn’t timeless after all.
Why Marlon Brando Didn’t Stand The Test Of Time For Christoph Waltz
Any actor big or small, has always been inspired by someone who has been a role model for them to dream big and achieve stardom in the industry.

Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is based on war correspondent Damien Lewis’s book of the same name, which tells the true story of an unsanctioned British military mission to sink the German ships that supplied all of their U-boats around the Spanish island of Fernando Po during World War II. The film also makes a point of announcing that the story comes from documents from Winston Churchill’s first term in office that were declassified in 2016, introducing each shrewd and ruthlessly efficient member of the ragtag crew carrying out this mission with a litany of their qualifications.
Narratively, the film plays out like a traditional historical thriller, yet it turns these men into impossibly proficient, virtually invincible killing machines who dispose of Nazis with such casual ease that they might as well be superheroes. And not only is the leader of this vicious, unruly pack, Major Gus March-Phillips,...

A few days ago, Fangoria ran an article on character actor Ralph Ineson, whose credits include The Witch, The First Omen, Brahms: The Boy II, The Creator, Willow, The Green Knight, and much more, naming him “a modern horror icon.” Ineson took to social media to thank Fangoria for their kind words – and in response to Ineson’s post, director Guillermo del Toro revealed that Ineson has a “pivotal cameo” in his latest film, Frankenstein! He added that Ineson is amazing and fun to work with.
Ineson responded to del Toro, saying, “Thank you Boss, your set is a joyous place to be.”
Del Toro’s Frankenstein, which is a long-awaited passion project for the filmmaker, might have the following logline: Set in Eastern Europe in the 19th Century, the story of Dr. Pretorius, who needs to track down Frankenstein’s monster- who is believed to have died in a...

The already impressive cast of Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein movie for Netflix continues to grow, with del Toro taking to Twitter this week to announce that Ralph Ineson will make a “pivotal cameo” appearance in the film.
“He is amazing and fun to work with,” del Toro added in the aforementioned tweet, which came in response to Fangoria celebrating Ralph Ineson as a “modern day horror icon.”
Ineson responded to del Toro’s tweet, “Thank you Boss, your set is a joyous place to be.”

Exclusive: Here’s some more intriguing casting for Luc Besson’s big-budget reimagining of the Dracula story, Dracula – A Love Tale.
Zoë Bleu (Gonzo Girl), daughter of actress Rosanna Arquette, is joining as Elisabeta/Mina, while rising Italian actress Matilda De Angelis, who plays the lead in Agbo and Amazon’s upcoming Citadel: Diana, will play Mina’s friend Maria. These are the roles played by Winona Ryder and Sadie Frost, respectively, in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 version (though Mina’s friend in that film and the book is called Lucy).
As we revealed in February, Caleb Landry Jones (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri) is playing Dracula and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) is understood to be playing the role of a priest.
Lucy and Leon filmmaker and Taken creator Besson is in pre-production on the movie, which will shoot next month in France. Additional casting is underway.

A post shared by Maggie Gyllenhaal (@mgyllenhaal)
Bale and Buckley star in the pic alongside Annette Bening, Penélope Cruz, and Peter Sarsgaard. The film’s logline reads: A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police, and a wild and radical social movement.
The movie is being produced by Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Gyllenhaal, Talia Kleinhendler (The Lost Daughter), and Osnat Handelsman-Keren (The Lost Daughter). EPs are Courtney Kivowitz (The Lost Daughter) and Carla Raij.
The pic will mark Gyllenhaal’s second directorial effort following The Lost Daughter, her screen adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name, starring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, and Jessie Buckley. The film was nominated for three Oscars: Best Actress (Colman), Best Supporting Actress (Buckley), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Gyllenhaal).
The Bride is currently slated for release in IMAX on October 3, 2025. The pic is just the first Frankenstein adaptation audiences can expect on the big screen soon. Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has a Frankenstein feature set at Netflix with Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Christian Convery signed on to star.

Christian Bale is Frankenstein’s monster in a first look at Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride.” The director, who is teaming up with Warner Bros. for the period film, shared images on Instagram from a recent camera test for the movie. Bale’s monster makes his debut alongside Gyllenhaal’s “The Lost Daughter” Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley as the eponymous bride.
Gyllenhaal has assembled an all-star cast for “The Bride.” Starring opposite Bale and Buckley are Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard and Annette Bening. The film’s crew includes “Joker” cinematographer Lawrence Sher.
“The Bride” is set in 1930s Chicago and puts a spin on the iconic Frankenstein lore.

“It was all me, James. It’s always been me,” the villain played by Christoph Waltz reveals to super spy James Bond. “The author of all your pain.”
The name of that author? Ernst Stavro Blofeld. When Waltz revealed himself as Blofeld in 2015’s Spectre, he reversed a problem that had plagued the Bond franchise for decades: the long absence of 007’s greatest recurring arch-enemy and the huge stakes that came along with his every appearance.
How could the man who escaped every death trap and seduced every woman lose his man? How did the notoriously controlling Eon Productions, which owns the rights to Ian Fleming’s novels, let one of its most important characters slip through its hands?
Turns out, the true author of Bond’s pain is the copyright office and the he said/she said litigation that slows down big budget productions.

When Quentin Tarantino begins production on his upcoming film “The Movie Critic,” it is expected to mark the fulfillment of his highly publicized pledge to retire after directing 10 movies. Tarantino has long been outspoken about his desire to step away from filmmaking at the top of his game and cited his plan to limit himself to 10 films as a reason he passed on directing an R-rated “Star Trek” movie for Paramount. But while Tarantino’s retirement plans are well-documented, he might not have been the one to come up with the idea.
In an upcoming interview on The Discourse Podcast (via The Playlist), Luc Besson claimed that Tarantino copied his idea to retire after 10 films. While Besson did not stick to the plan, he said that his idea stuck with Tarantino as the “Pulp Fiction” director plotted his career.

David Robert Mitchell’s mysterious new feature film with Bad Robot now has a title and release date. “Flowervale Street,” starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, will be released by Warner Bros. on May 16, 2025, in Imax.
Mitchell will direct the script he wrote for the film, which he’ll also produce alongside J.J. Abrams, Hannah Minghella, Matt Jackson and Tommy Harper.
Plot details are still under wraps, but the film has been previously described as a thriller. As Variety previously reported, Christian Convery and Maisy Stella round out the lead cast.
14-year-old Convery has led Netflix’s dystopian sci-fi series “Sweet Tooth” for two seasons, and previously starred in Elizabeth Banks’ “Cocaine Bear.” He is currently in production on Academy Award winner Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” with Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Oscar Isaac and Christoph Waltz.

Last month, it was announced that Luc Besson would be making Dracula movie called Dracula: A Love Tale, which is meant to be a “big-budget reimagining” of the Dracula concept that will feature “some epic and potentially spectacular set pieces.” When the announcement was made, Christoph Waltz, who won Oscars for his performances in the Quentin Tarantino films Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, was already on board to star in the film alongside Caleb Landry Jones, who just worked with Besson on his most recent film, Dogman. Just one month later, Besson has revealed to the folks at Collider that his Dracula is already filming in Finland, with production expected to go on until the end of July.
Besson told the site, “I’ve started already. I’m gonna make another movie with Mr. Caleb Landry Jones and Mr. Christoph Waltz — Dracula . I started a few days ago in Lapland in the north.

This year’s races for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were over before they started. Robert Downey Jr. in “Oppenheimer” and Da’Vine Joy Randolph in “The Holdovers” took leads in the Gold Derby odds in their respective categories early in the season. They both went on to pick up Golden Globe, Critics Choice, BAFTA and SAG Awards. By the time the Oscars rolled around, there was a “near zero” chance of either of them losing.
In contrast, the lead acting contests provided considerably more suspense. Bradley Cooper in “Maestro,” Paul Giamatti in “The Holdovers” and Cillian Murphy in “Oppenheimer” were all looking strong at different point in the derby, before Murphy really exploded and ultimately won the Best Actor Oscar. And Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Emma Stone in “Poor Things” kept trading the top spot in the Best Actress odds. Gladstone finally reclaimed...

When Bruce Willis announced his retirement from acting in 2022 due to his condition, his dream to play one role in a film franchise ended. Willis was a big fan of the James Bond films. After watching Javier Bardem portray an exceptional villain in Daniel Craig’s Skyfall, Willis openly stated in 2013 that he was up for playing a big baddie in the next Bond film.
