Tubi Originals...

“40 Acres” is a groundbreaking post-apocalyptic movie that breaks the rules of the genre. It takes place in a world that has been destroyed by disaster. The movie takes place 14 years after a terrible fungal pandemic killed off almost all animals. It shows a harsh world where property is worth more than gold, and strength alone isn’t enough to survive.

Hailey Freeman, a former soldier played by the electric Danielle Deadwyler, is central to this intense story. She is in charge of a strong family on a 40-acre farm that has been in her family since the war. Along with her Indigenous partner Galen (Michael Greyeyes) and their children, Hailey has turned their farm into a carefully guarded haven in a world that is about to fall apart.

In his first full-length movie, director R.T. Thorne creates a unique vision far beyond normal post-apocalyptic tropes. This is not just...

Last month playwright Jez Butterworth brought his latest work, “The Hills of California,” to Broadway. The haunting family drama explores the relationships between four sisters and their dying mother in their creaky seaside home, seamlessly moving back and forth in time between 1976 and 1955. The play previously bowed in London earlier this year, and before coming stateside it earned two Olivier Award nominations for Best New Play and Best Actress for Laura Donnelly, who reprises her performance in New York.

Since his Broadway debut only 13 years ago, Butterworth has quickly established himself as one of the theater’s most accomplished contemporary playwrights. He has two Tony nominations to his name, for New York debut “Jerusalem” in 2011 and for his Tony-winning epic “The Ferryman” in 2019. Those nominations alone already tie him with theater royalty including Ayad Akhtar, Tony Kushner, Tracy Letts, David Mamet, Lynn Nottage, Eugene O’Neill, and Wendy Wasserstein — all...

Here is a quick guide on how to defeat Golden Hippopotamus in the latest FromSoftware expansion. The Soulslike genre has a reputation for making difficult games paired with overpowered bosses and this optional boss battle is no different.

Beating the Golden Hippopotamus is not impossible; however, it requires great patience and skill to get the best of this beast. The player base must have a great balance between power and speed to get through this combat encounter.

Day-Lewis has had a storied career that includes numerous accolades and a well-guarded private life. Yet, beneath the layers of awards and critical acclaim lies a narrative of love, heartbreak, and the complexities of human connection.

Daniel Day-Lewis’s relationship with French actress Isabelle Adjani marked a significant period in both their personal lives and careers. Their romance began in the early 1990s, and it was during this time that Day-Lewis was honing his craft, particularly with the acclaimed film The Age of Innocence in 1993. This adaptation of Edith Wharton...

Update: Daniel Day-Lewis is in fact returning to acting in Focus Features and Plan B’s Anemone from Ronan Day-Lewis.

The feature is from first time director Ronan Day-Lewis, the son of the 3x Oscar winning actor. Father and son wrote the screenplay which explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers and the dynamics of familial bonds. The last time Day-Lewis was on the big screen was Focus Features’ Paul Thomas Anderson movie Phantom Thread in 2017.

Daniel Day-Lewis will star with Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green.

Ben Fordesman (Love Lies Bleeding) is the Director of Photography, Jane Petrie (The Crown) is the Costume Designer and Chris Oddy (Zone of Interest) is the Production Designer.

Focus Features Chairman, Peter Kujawski said: “We could not be more excited to partner with a brilliant visual artist in Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film alongside Daniel Day-Lewis as his creative collaborator.

Elden Ring is regarded as one of the greatest gaming titles of all time. This action-adventure title from FromSoftware was released in 2022. Since its release, the game has sold more than 25 million copies of this game. However, there are certain reasons for this huge success as well.

One of those major reasons is the godly difficult bosses we have to face in the game. Be it the Ulcerated Tree Spirits or the Limgrave Tree Sentinel, facing these creatures might feel like a big headache, but it gives an immense sense of satisfaction after beating them. So, which boss is the worst in the game?

There is a unique aspect of Elden Ring.

“Sabrina the Teenage Witch” is a certified Criterion title, believe it or not.

The beloved franchise about a beloved occult teen, iconically played by Melissa Joan Hart, is officially amongst the new streaming selections for the Criterion Channel. “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” centered on Sabrina (Hart), a high school student who lives with her two aunts Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and Zelda (Beth Broderick) as she navigates coming into her powers. Her cat Salem (Frank Conniff) also provides snarky spiritual guidance.

The ABC-produced franchise was based on the comic book series that debuted in 1971. The “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” show is available to stream on Paramount+ as of 2023.

The 1996 TV movie was a spinoff of the TV series, and was followed by 1998’s “Sabrina Goes to Rome” and 1999’s “Sabrina Down Under.”

Now, “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” joins Criterion’s “Witches” programming for October 2024, ushering in the 40-year anniversary of the Criterion platform.

Marvel's newest Halloween offering is Agatha All Along, the witchy WandaVision spin-off that has been in the works since the titular song took off in 2021. The story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series is expected to follow Agatha Harkness as she tries to get her powers back, with a quirky coven of witches by her side. But precisely how she gets there is still to be seen.

Agatha All Along will seemingly begin with Agatha stuck in Westview, where we last saw her. And while the story is going to take her to wildly different settings, we know that some of her neighbors will be joining in. Emma Caulfield Ford and Debra Jo Rupp are both set to reprise their roles in the spinoff, with Rupp's character even joining Agatha's coven.

While it's clear that the new Disney Plus series is going to be its own thing, there's no doubt that WandaVision will be relevant,...

The Criterion Channel’s at its best when October rolls around, consistently engaging in the strongest horror line-ups of any streamer. 2024 will bring more than a few iterations of their spooky programming: “Horror F/X” highlights the best effects-based scares through the likes of Romero, Cronenberg, Lynch, Tobe Hooper, James Whale; “Witches” does what it says on the tin (and inside the tin is the underrated Italian anthology film featuring Clint Eastwood cuckolded by Batman); “Japanese Horror” runs the gamut of classics; a Stephen King series puts John Carpenter and The Lawnmower Man on equal playing ground; October’s Criterion Editions are Rosemary’s Baby, Night of the Hunter, Häxan; a made-for-tv duo includes Carpenter’s underrated Someone’s Watching Me!; meanwhile, The Wailing and The Babadook stream alongside a collection of Cronenberg and Stephanie Rothman titles.

Otherwise, Winona Ryder and Raúl Juliá are given retrospectives, as are filmmakers Arthur J. Bressan Jr. and Lionel Rogosin.

Concord is getting shut down and has been one of the biggest flops gaming has seen. The game’s servers are set to go offline on September 6, 2024, after barely two weeks of availability. Its lifespan is truly shocking, considering other games that failed lasted longer than this.

Released on August 23, it was supposed to be Sony’s entry into the live service genre to compete with games like Overwatch and Apex Legends. The industry has recently pushed hard into live service games. But the speed of this game’s downfall raises serious questions about the viability of its strategy.

Typecasting is a huge issue in Hollywood, something which has become almost a common phenomenon. This problem affects the actresses more than their male counterparts when they have to look a certain way. But it goes beyond outer appearances, as for most, age becomes the biggest hurdle when looking for movie roles.

Many iconic actresses have felt this once they started aging, their roles dried up. Offers are rare and characters become repetitive and often boring. Meryl Streep is one movie legend who has been vocal about her views on this topic. The Devil Wears Prada actress warned Winona Ryder about the reality of why the industry looks for witches and moms in actresses as they pass a certain age bar.

Winona Ryder is remembered for several reasons, but Tim Burton fans recognize her as Lydia Deetz from the 1988 comedy, Beetlejuice.

The Shadow of the Erdtree Dlc expanded not only the world of Elden Ring but also the types of enemies and bosses. After all, a new realm would mean entirely new threats to face, right? Well, many of them have proven to be quite the skill check for even veteran FromSoft fans!

These 11 bosses might be the most difficult ones you’ll face not only in the Land of Shadow but throughout the entire Elden Ring experience!

When the trailers for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League initially dropped, people were excited and hype was built. A game where you get to play as the villains and take down the heroes? Everyone was ready to show up for its launch; players couldn’t wait to get their hands on it. Despite all the hype, it fell flat on its face the moment it launched.

It isn’t the only game to have this happen either. There are the games that, for one reason or another, were “dead on arrival“—titles that failed to capture the audience’s attention, missing the mark entirely. We’re diving into five such games, from Battleborn to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that, despite their potential, flopped hard when they went live.

5. Battleborn

When the title launched in 2016, it was up against some stiff competition. Developed by Gearbox Software, the studio behind the beloved Borderlands series,...

Adam Epstein, who won a Tony Award for producing Hairspray before he was 30 and received other nominations for his work on revivals of Amadeus and The Crucible and adaptations of The Wedding Singer and Cry-Baby, has died. He was 49.

Epstein died Tuesday at Adventist Health hospital in Glendale after a brief battle with brain cancer, his family announced. He was in the midst of hosting his podcast, Dirty Moderate With Adam Epstein, when he fell ill.

When he was just 28, Epstein joined Margo Lion as a co-producer on the original Broadway production of Hairspray, which bowed in 2002 en route to collecting eight Tonys, including best musical, from 13 nominations. Originally starring Harvey Fierstein, it ran for more than 2,600 performances through 2009.

Epstein had started out on Broadway as an intern and casting assistant before serving as a production associate in 1997 on The Life, nominated for best musical. The next year, he produced...

Elden Ring is yet another FromSoftware game that delivers unforgettable fights. One of the things that keeps fans coming back for more is the ability to get their hands on the incredible moves wielded by some of the enemies.

Whether it’s an Ash of War or an Incantation, there’s something deeply satisfying about turning the tables on enemies that have bullied you by using their tricks against them. While the Dlc fulfilled that dream, it took something else away, and people aren’t happy.

Elden Ring Teases Its Players, and Its Unbearable

Let’s rewind for a moment to the base game. Elden Ring introduced us to the Crucible Knights—hulking, armored enemies with a terrifying set of special moves.

These knights are an absolute force of nature, and their moves sometimes make them as tough as bosses, if not tougher. You can gain some of these moves...

With Elden Ring’s one and only Dlc Shadow of the Erdtree out for a little over a month now, many players have dived deep into its lore and come up with varied interpretations of how events in the game have transpired. While many of these theories seem accurate, they also touch upon darker aspects of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s massive open world.

From theories examining the motivations of characters like Marika, Mohg, Lord of Blood, and General Radahn, to others looking at the history of the Land of Shadow’s inhabitants, players have done their best to decode Miyazaki’s mysterious storytelling techniques.

However, some of the theories that have sprung up as more players complete Shadow of the Erdtree and uncover crucial details surrounding its lore are so dark and admittedly depressing that we just don’t want them to be true. Here are some of the theories that...

HBO’s hit show House of the Dragon is one of the most anticipated and exciting series of the year. With a budget of over $20 million per episode, it is said to be the fifth most expensive TV show ever made. Though the salaries of the actors are not publicly disclosed, it can be roughly estimated based on the show’s popularity and budget.

Since this show is well-liked and has garnered much attention from Game of Thrones fans it can be believed that the lead actors are raking in quite an amount of profit.

Who is Emma D’Arcy?

Emma Zia D’Arcy is an English actor who portrays the role of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the popular HBO show, House of the Dragon. The skilled actor has perfectly emulated the rather complex and dynamic persona of the Targaryen Princess, leading...

“X,” the first movie in Ti West’s grungy but elevated artisanal-trash horror franchise (it’s been billed as a trilogy but may yet produce further installments), was an unusually effective stab at recreating the ’70s farmhouse-turned-charnel-house vibe of “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” spiced with the fleshpot voyeurism of ’70s porn. For a retro slasher movie, it was a novelty and a curio. The insane killer was an old farm wife suffering from erotic frustration — played, under a ton of make-up, by Mia Goth, the same actress who played one of the film’s porn performers. The movie was leagues better than your average “Chain Saw” knockoff, yet it never quite transcended the slasher formula. It was a psycho thriller crafted with a fanboy filmmaker’s encyclopedic rigor.

But “Pearl,” a prequel that West shot directly after “X” (it was released just six months later in 2022), took a startling leap.

Prior to bidding goodbyes to Hollywood, Daniel Day-Lewis once again delivered perfection in the role of Reynolds Woodcock, one of the best characters to appear in a Paul Thomas Anderson film. Unsurprisingly, Day-Lewis, who is notable for his inhumane commitment to his roles, had a similar approach to Phantom Thread, as he stayed in character even when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Opposite to him starred Vicky Krieps, who was a relatively unknown figure at the time. Although the actress had impeccable chemistry with the three-time Oscar winner, before the shoot began, Krieps recalled avoiding her costar.

Ci Games and Hexworks aren’t done with Lords of the Fallen just yet. Following last month’s post-launch update, this newest free update to the dark fantasy action-rpg today adds “Clash of Champions”, a glorified boss rush option that offers up two ways for you to tackle the bosses of Lords of the Fallen.

Clash of Champions features two previously unannounced boss rush modes for Lords of the Fallen. Players can now replay singular boss battles with previously vanquished foes, or confront them sequentially in one of several grueling trials. Both modes are playable either in single player, or with a friend in online co-op multiplayer.

Accessible through the game’s Vestige checkpoint markers, the Boss Rush modes feature two distinct experiences for players: ‘Echoes of Battle’ and ‘Crucible’. While Echoes of Battle allows players to relive their favourite boss encounters, including Ellianne the Starved, Congregator of Flesh, and Radiant Sentinel,...

Chicago – One of Chicago’s icon theater actors … Michael Shannon … is performing again in town, in the company that he co-founded. Red Orchid Theatre presents Michael Shannon and Travis A. Knight in the World Premiere of “Turret” by Levi Holloway, now at the Chopin Theatre through June 9, 2024. For tickets and info, click Turret.

Two men (Shannon and Knight) survive in a facility deep underground somewhere in the wild woods of the Pacific Northwest, hiding away from something terrible from the outside. Ensnared in a relentless loop of endless tomorrows, they discover the wolf isn’t at the door, it’s already inside, waiting in the creeping darkness all around them. “Turret” is an excavation of masculinity, love, loss and isolation, and a claustrophobic carnival of carnage, carrier pigeons, cribbage, whiskey, music, mischief and mayhem.

Ian Gelder, a British actor known for his role as Kevan Lannister in “Game of Thrones,” died Monday of complications from bile duct cancer. He was 74.

Gelder’s partner, Ben Daniels, confirmed his death in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

“It is with huge huge sadness and a heavy heart broken into a million pieces that I’m leaving this post to announce the passing of my darling husband and life partner Ian Gelder,” Daniels wrote. “Ian was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in December and yesterday he passed at 13.07. I’d stopped all work to be his carer but neither of us had any idea that it would all be so fast.”

Gelder played the younger brother of Lord Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) in 12 episodes of the HBO series “Game of Thrones.” He appeared in multiple television series, including “Doctor Who,” “Snatch,” “Fifteen-Love,” “Casualty,” “Father Brown,” “The Bill,” “Edward the King,...

Exclusive: CAA has signed Tony and Olivier-Award winning director Ivo van Hove in all areas.

Belgian-born van Hove has built a reputation for experimental revisions of Hollywood and Broadway classics including Broadway revival productions of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, for which he received a Tony Award and a Laurence Olivier Award, and The Crucible as well as Lee Hall’s Network (starring Bryan Cranston and Tatiana Maslany), All About Eve (with Gillian Anderson in the Bette Davis role) and Stephen Sondheim’s West Side Story.

Last year, van Hove teamed with John Wells to develop Doll at Warner Bros. Television. The project is described as a psychological thriller series set in the ruthless world of a modern music conservatory. The former’s artistic collaborator, Jan Versweyveld, was set to serve as production and lighting designer on the project, which marks the duo’s first foray into scripted television.

Carrie Robbins, whose more than 30 years as a Broadway costume designer saw her involvement in 1972’s Grease, for which she contributed the production’s signature poodle skirts, and the nuns’ habits of 1983’s Agnes of God, died following a brief illness with Covid on Friday, April 12, at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. She was 81.

Her death was announced by her friend Daniel Neiden.

Robbin’s Broadway career began somewhat inauspiciously with Leda and the Little Swan, a play that closed on Broadway before its scheduled opening at the Cort Theatre in 1968. Written by Amber Gascoigne and dealing with sex between generations of one family, Leda was called by William Goldman in his classic theater book The Season: A Candid Look at Broadway “the hardest show of the season to sit through.”

Robbins rebounded quickly on Broadway with a revival of You Can’t Take It With You the following year, and,...

Adrian Schiller, the British actor who starred as Lord Aethelhelm in the Netflix drama series The Last Kingdom, has died. He was 60.

Schiller died on April 3 of unspecified causes, his agent, Amanda Evans at Scott Marshall Partners in the U.K., confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. “It is with the heaviest and saddest hearts that we announce the death of our beloved client, Adrian Schiller, on Wednesday 3 April. He has died far too soon, and we, his family and close friends are devastated by the loss,” the U.K. talent agency said in a statement.

Schiller’s sudden death followed a star turn in Australia in The Lehman Trilogy, where he performed the role of Henry Lehman in the touring production.

Born on Feb. 21, 1964 in London, England, his extensive TV credits included roles in the ITV series Victoria, where he played Cornelius Penge, a footman in the royal household, Father Brown for BBC,...

Ralph Fiennes, Jim Broadbent and Simon Russell Beale are starring in 'The Choral'.The actors have signed up to feature in the latest collaboration between director Sir Nicholas Hytner and writer Alan Bennett following on from 'The History Boys' and 'The Lady in the Van'.Unlike the pair's previous films, 'The Choral' is an original script rather than an adaptation of one of Bennett's plays.The movie is set in Ramsden, Yorkshire in 1916 and follows the chorus master and the men in the ambitious local Choral Society, who have volunteered for the frontline during World War I.Under the guidance of the demanding Dr. Guthrie (Fiennes), the Choral recruits a group of teenage boys and girls who discover the joy of singing while the new boys come to terms with the fact that they will soon be serving their country.The film explores the humour and humanity in a community that faces an uncertain future.

Both Elden Ring and Dark Souls have had their share of difficult bosses. Players all over the internet can be seen struggling to get through these hard-to-nail enemies. They keep pushing, and eventually, they win. But sometimes FromSoftware throws some enemies in the mix—enemies that are even harder than those massive boss fights. There’s no shortage of such enemies in the whole Soulsborne franchise.

Keeping this particular thing in mind, FromSoftware introduced a bunch of normal enemies in Elden Ring that are even harder than some of the boss battles; these are the Crucible Knights. Yes, the Black Knights of Elden Ring. Now, after dealing with them in the Elden Ring themselves, one hardcore fan has put these enemies in the ring against Dark Soul’s Black Knight.

Ever since Daniel Day-Lewis made a rare appearance to present an award to Martin Scorsese, speculations have been spreading on the internet about his return to films with a Scorsese project. However, that dream may not happen anytime soon as one of the close friends of the actor has revealed that he is done with films. The revelation came from Day-Lewis’s My Left Foot director Jim Sheridan.

Scorsese is riding high this awards season as his latest film Killers of the Flower Moon is currently nominated for ten Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. Martin Scorsese’s next film will be a spiritual movie on Jesus and rumors suggested that Day-Lewis may play the central role.

Exclusive: BBC commissioning executives are booked to see the award-winning musical Standing at the Sky’s Edge, which opens Wednesday night at the Gillian Lynne Theatre following its transfer from a sold-out season at the National Theatre. This column told you a year ago that StudioCanal’s Red Production company is developing the musical into a TV drama series.

The TV production will be based on the stage show by playwright Chris Bush and glorious songs from the catalog of singer-songwriter Richard Hawley. Sources tell me that a deal is strongly favored between Red and the BBC.

Bush is writing the screenplay for the series, expanding the storylines for characters they created for the show that originated at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre in south Yorkshire in 2019, having been commissioned by Sheffield Theatres and producer Rupert Lord’s Various Productions.

Red pounced quickly and took out an option on the show...

Ranging from Demigods, weapons, NPCs, and much more, Elden Ring is a game that offers many unique elements for its fans to enjoy. Playing the game almost feels like it is never going to end, something which the director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, must have intended from the start.

Furthermore, the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree Dlc does not help the case at all, as the recent gameplay trailer reveals what looks to be an extension of content at a whole different level. Fans have even come up with a theory speculating how a particular enemy shown in the trailer might have more backstory to it than we can think of, drawing power from a concept that existed even before the Greater Will.

Elden Ring, the crown jewel of 2022’s gaming landscape, continues to tantalize fans with its still-undated Dlc, Shadow of the Erdtree. In the midst of FromSoftware’s radio silence, the modding community has risen to the occasion, offering a beacon of hope in the form of The Garden of Eyes, a comprehensive overhaul mod that promises to quench fans’ thirst for new content.

The Garden of Eyes delves even deeper into the ocean that is Elden Ring‘s lore, unearthing previously hidden corners of The Lands Between’s history. In addition to that, there will be new areas for exploration, new armor sets and weapons, new gameplay features to discover, and more. Here’s everything you can expect from this ambitious fan project.

Insight From The Garden of Eyes’ Lead Designer

Replayability is the central tenet of the mod, thanks to an all-new innovative class-based progression system and dynamic difficulty.

In a traditional FromSoftware fashion, the player does not only get to experience humans but many other forms of living creatures, dragons, and demigods when they start their gameplay of the award-winning Elden Ring title.

One such Npc that the player stumbles across on their journey to become the Elden Lord is Iron Fist Alexander. He is a living jar that is found on several instances throughout The Lands Between, and a recent theory iceberg on Reddit reveals how he might have been a crucible night in the beginning.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.

We discuss everyone’s favorite method man: Daniel Day-Lewis. Our B-Sides are 1988’s Stars and Bars, Eversmile, New Jersey (1989), Jim Sheridan’s The Boxer, and Rebecca Miller’s The Ballad of Jack and Rose.

Returning guest Fiona Underhill joins us to discuss the myth-making around the actor, his process, as well as a few hot takes on whether some of his most-lauded credits are properly rated. Naturally, we also discuss his peak ‘90s hotness, and his influence, for better or worse, on a younger generation of actors.

The scope of our B-Sides unlock a few lesser-seen tools in Day-Lewis’ belt, from the farcical to the oddball. These are modes he doesn’t necessarily seem comfortable in as a younger star,...

The Black List announced the top unproduced screenplays of the year on Monday, December 11.

The “most liked” scripts include 76 feature screenplays by 80 writers, selected by more than 375 film executives. In the 19th edition of the annual list, the topics range from a Tom Hanks meta satire to a time-traveling couple who try to fall out of love. The making of ill-fated Broadway production “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” a Patsy Cline biopic, and the true story behind the feud between Elia Kazan and Arthur Miller are also among the selected scripts.

After Todd Haynes helmed The Black List alum Samy Burch’s “May December” script, leading to multiple Golden Globe nominations, this year’s crop of best scripts is all the more essential following the writers strike.

“This year, the industry was defined by a debate about the value of writers within it, and I think it’s inevitable that...

Who on earth would want to release a horror movie in November?! That’s like showing up to Thanksgiving dinner on a full stomach or going for a jog after a marathon. Surely, studios don’t purposefully plan to release their movie during the four weeks After the entire world is consumed with the dead, dying, maimed and dismembered, right? The calendar says spooky season is over (although you and I know differently) and as the grumpy neighbor in Halloween II says, the general audience has “been trick or treated to death” by October’s end.

On the contrary, November Horror has had some shockingly great runs over the years. And maybe there’s a method to the madness. If horror fans are lucky, October is packed tighter than a Black Friday sale at Target during a live in store Taylor Swift performance. Why not wait a couple of weeks...

One of the most acclaimed movies of 1998 is “Pleasantville,” starring Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Jeff Daniels, William H. Macy and Joan Allen. Written and directed by four-time Oscar nominee Gary Ross, the film is a creative fantasy drama about two 1990s teen siblings who are transported to a 1950s family sitcom and then slowly begin to transform the dull, colorless world into someplace better. Released 25 years ago in October 1998, “Pleasantville” only grossed about $50 million worldwide on a $60 million budget. But it did end up receiving three Oscar nominations. Read on for Gold Derby’s tribute to the “Pleasantville” 25th anniversary.

Most of the nation’s critics gave enthusiastic notices to “Pleasantville,” including Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times, who picked it as the second-best film of 1998 and wrote that it “is the kind of parable that encourages us to re-evaluate the good old days and take a fresh look at...

Bill Kenwright, the prolific West End producer behind the hit musicals Blood Brothers, Whistle Down the Wind and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat who would later go on to become an owner and chairman of his boyhood soccer club Everton, has died. He was 78.

In a statement, Everton said Kenwright died peacefully, “surrounded by his family and loved ones.” This month, the Premier League club revealed that Kenwright had recently undergone surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his liver.

“Dearest Bill, Somewhere you’ll be singing Let It Be Me and challenging heavenly choirs to look into your Ebony Eyes,” Andrew Lloyd Webber tweeted. “The theatre will...

Exclusive: British actress Sophia Brown has signed with Anonymous Content.

Brown most notably starred in Netflix’s The Witcher: Blood Origin, a spinoff of the fantasy drama series, The Witcher. The four-part limited series, set in an elven world 1,200 years before the world of The Witcher, tells a story lost to time – one of seven outcasts who unite against an unstoppable power that took everything from them. Their blood quest gives rise to a prototype Witcher in a conflict that brings about the “conjunction of the spheres,” when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merge to become one. Brown starred opposite Michelle Yeoh, Francesca Mills and Laurence O’Fuarain.

Most recently she appeared in the Itvx limited series You & Me, opposite Harry Lawtey and Jessica Barden, and, prior to that, Joe Barton’s Netflix limited series Giri/Haji in which she starred opposite Will Sharpe and Kelly Macdonald.
