The best part about breaking down an hour of From every week is figuring out how to begin. I usually want to start with a string of expletives because I’m either flabbergasted or confused as hell.

After From Season 3 Episode 9, I’m a bit of both.

It does not feel like these people are any closer to getting home this season, but they’re making discoveries left and right. So, what does that mean? What does that really mean in the grand scheme of things? I’m not sure.

This hour revolved around the search for Fatima, but before that search began, we had many conversations with various people, perhaps none more interesting than the one between Boyd and Ellis.

Boyd and Ellis have this super complex father-son dynamic, and it’s one of the best relationships on the show.

When From began, they weren’t...

Most people came to know Sophie Turner through her role as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, where she was a main player for all eight seasons. “I went from 13 to 23 on that show – it was my whole childhood," she told Bazaar for a recent interview. "We’re all still on a massive group chat, and we try and meet each other whenever we’re in the same country... they’re family.”

Turner was only 15 years old when Game of Thrones came out and even younger when she was cast. According to her, pretty much everyone in her school auditioned, but she got the part. “I don’t know how it happened, because my audition tape was absolutely horrific. But, somehow, they ended up casting me.”

That would obviously be very exciting for a young actor just starting their career, but it also meant that Turner grew up in the public eye,...

David Harbour and Jason Bateman will lead the cast and executive produce the limited series “Dtf St. Louis,” which just landed a series order at HBO.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot cast is coming together in a promising way. We just learned that Golden Globe Award nominee Billy Campbell has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. I wonder who he could be playing in the slasher.

Campbell joins a growing list of actors who have already been announced to be in the cast, such as Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, Tyriq Withers, and Jonah Haur-King.

Freddie Prinze Jr. was announced recently to have officially joined the cast, reprising his role of Ray Bronson from the original film and its 1998 sequel. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brandy Norwood are also in talks to return in their roles as Julie James and Karla Wilson.

Additionally, Bodies Bodies Bodies star Chase Sui Wonders is currently in discussions about joining the cast of the upcoming Sony movie. However, who she will be portraying in the film is unknown.

With the release of ITV's new crime drama Joan, all eyes are on Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner again. The Emmy nominee plays the titular role in the six-part series, based on Joan Hannington's 2004 memoir I Am What I Am: The True Story of Britain’s Most Notorious Jewel Thief. Ahead of the show's premiere, Turner spoke with The Times about her connection to the part and how being a mother herself changed how she approached her performance.

In the years since Turned finished playing Sansa on Game of Thrones, undoubtedly Turner's biggest role to date, the English actress has appeared in movies like X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Do Revenge, along with series such as The Staircase and Quibi's Survive. (Rip Quibi.) Turner admitted that "nothing I did [after Thrones] was going to be as good," adding, "I went away for a little bit, so now I feel like...

Hilary Swank is joining the cast of “Yellowjackets” Season 3, according to multiple media reports. She will play a recurring guest star on the upcoming season. Details about Swank’s role have yet to be revealed.

Filming for Season 3 started in May of this year and is scheduled for a 2025 premiere.

The thriller originally premiered on Showtime in 2021. Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, it alternates between two timelines, one that follows a group of teenagers in 1996 who were involved in a plane crash and a second one that chronicles the consequences of those events in their adult lives in 2021. The critically-acclaimed series has received 10 Primetime Emmy Award nominations so far as well as a Peabody nomination. Because of corporate restructuring at Paramount Global, this new season will premiere on Paramount+ With Showtime.

The two-time Academy Award winning actor is best known for her roles in “Million Dollar Baby” and “P.S. I Love You.

British actor Jamie Thomas King is adapting James Titcombe’s memoir Joshua’s Story: Uncovering the Morecambe Bay Maternity Scandal for the big screen.

King, best known for star turns in Mad Men and The Tudors, is penning a screenplay for Trust, a movie to be produced along with wife and Canadian actress Tamara Podemski as part of their newly-launched Blackbird Productions banner.

“Right now, I do not have intention to act in or direct the project. But yes, I became interested in the subject following Benjamin’s death and subsequent lawsuit,” King told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.

In 2016, the preventable death of their second son, Benjamin, due to medical negligence occurred five days after Podemski gave birth after a delayed caesarean section. The star of Reservation Dogs and Outer Range at the time had been 14 days overdue and was rushed to the Royal United Hospital in Bath, Somerset,...

Kate Winslet will star in and executive produce a new crime drama series for Hulu, titled “The Spot.”

The new series, which hails from creator and showrunner Ed Solomon, received a straight-to-series order from the Disney-owned streamer in a competitive situation.

Solomon will serve as creator, showrunner and writer and will executive produce the series alongside Winslet, who EPs for Juggle Productions, and A24, which is the lead studio. “The Spot” is also a coproduction with 20th Television.

The official logline for “The Spot” is as follows: “When a successful surgeon and her schoolteacher husband begin to suspect that she may be responsible for a child’s hit-and-run death, their quest for truth spirals into a web of mounting suspicion and dark secrets, testing their resolve and their relationship as they confront the possibility of hidden guilt and betrayal.”

Winslet recently starred as Chancellor Elena Vernham in HBO’s “The Regime,...

Having achieved critical success with his 2023 release, May December, filmmaker Todd Haynes joined forces with Joker star Joaquin Phoenix for an untitled gay romance. Even though the Oscar-winner was heavily involved with its screenplay alongside Haynes, just five days before the production was set to commence, Phoenix abruptly pulled out.

As for the aftermath, the whole thing has been a nightmare per producer Christine Vachon, who defended her decision to cast Phoenix, a heterosexual person, in the shoes of a gay character.

Producer Christine Vachon Addressed Joaquin Phoenix’s Abrupt Exit Joaquin Phoenix in a still from Joker: Folie á Deux | Warner Bros.

While it isn’t exactly clear why Joaquin Phoenix chose to exit the film mere days before the production began, and per Variety, the actor reportedly got “cold feet”. Reflecting on the whole fiasco, producer Christine Vachon, who deemed (via People) the whole situation “a nightmare”, defended casting Phoenix in the role.

Todd Haynes’ new film has hit a snag after its lead actor exited the project just five days before filming was scheduled to begin. The untitled period drama is described as an intense romance set in the 1930s exploring a relationship between two men. Joaquin Phoenix had been working closely with director Todd Haynes and screenwriter Jon Raymond to develop the story. However, last week Phoenix unexpectedly withdrew from his starring role.

Sources confirm Phoenix’s sudden departure last Thursday has created challenges for the production team, which was already on location in Guadalajara, Mexico ready to start shooting. As the film’s lead, Phoenix’s involvement was key to securing financial backing for the project.

In an interview at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Haynes said Phoenix was encouraging him to push creative boundaries with the film’s explicit content. Phoenix has a reputation for committing fully to bold, unconventional roles.

Todd Haynes’ untitled detective movie about two men in love and fleeing to Mexico is now on hold after star and co-writer Joaquin Phoenix pulled out of the project days before production began.

Phoenix developed the screenplay for the intense gay romance with Haynes and Jon Raymond, a frequent collaborator of Haynes’ friend Kelly Reichardt (“Wendy and Lucy”). Raymond co-wrote the teleplay for Haynes’ HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce.”

Sources tell IndieWire that Phoenix, who was set to star in the explicit gay love story, dropped out of the Killer Films production five days before filming was set to start in Guadalajara, near the Southwestern coast of Mexico in the state of Jalisco. Phoenix dropped out of the project while in Los Angeles before the Mexico shoot began.

Haynes assembled a crew in Mexico for the untitled film backed by sales agent MK2 Films. Sales in territories worldwide began ahead of...

Premiering at the Venice Film Festival later this month, Joe Wright’s “M. Son of the Century” sees the filmmaker return to the small screen for a long-form examination of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini’s rise to Prime Minister of Italy in 1922, a role which he held until his dismissal in 1943. The last time Wright helmed a limited series such as this was in 2003 with his BBC One show “Charles II: The Power and the Passion,” which covered 27 years in the life of the King as he worked to restore the monarchy. Exploring history has always been one of Wright’s strengths, but with the upcoming American election placing democracy on the ballot, his latest series feels particularly timely.

“M. Son of the Century” is led by Italian actor Luca Marinelli, who has earned international acclaim for his roles in “Martin Eden,” “The Old Guard,” and the FX series “Trust.

Willem Dafoe Named Artistic Director Of Venice Theatre Department

Willem Dafoe has been named Artistic Director of the Venice Biennale’s Theatre Department. Dafoe will hold the role for a two-year term from 2025 to 2026. The appointment was confirmed by the department board, headed by Pietrangelo Buttafuoco. “I was first surprised then happy to receive Pietrangelo Buttafuoco’s invitation to be the Director of the International Theatre Festival of La Biennale di Venezia 2025-2026,” Dafoe said. “I realize that I am known as a film actor, but I was born in the theatre, the theatre trained me and galvanized me. I am a stage animal. I am an actor. Theatre taught me about art and life. I worked with the Wooster Group for twenty-seven years, and I have collaborated with great directors from Richard Foreman to Bob Wilson. The direction of my Theatre program will be charted by my personal development.

The 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (June 28 to July 6) boasted not one but two competitions, the Crystal Globe and Proxima, presided over by the festival president Jiří Bartoška, artistic director Karel Och, and executive director Kryštof Mucha. The festival is the main summer event in the country, which attracts many sponsors and patrons who want to attend, and faces none of the financial hardships of such festivals as Berlin, Toronto, and Sundance. 130 films are shown, with 140,000 tickets sold. There is no room for growth, given the limited venues, from the many screening rooms at the festival hub, the Hotel Thermal, where juror Christine Vachon mixed Negronis for her fellow jurors between screenings, to the colorful arthouse Kino Drahomira, named after a revered Czech woman director.

The Eastern European festival falls between Cannes and Venice, and programs many films in its Crystal Globe Competition that did not make the cut at Cannes,...

I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly.

Beloved actor and Hollywood Legend Donald Sutherland has died at the age of 88.

Donald passed away earlier, Thursday, June 20, in Miami after a long battle with an undisclosed illness.

His son, actor Kiefer Sutherland, announced the sad news.

Taking to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), Kiefer shared a black-and-white photo of himself as a boy with his father to honor Donald.

“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived,” Kiefer wrote.

Although Kiefer didn’t reveal a cause of death, Deadline confirmed via Donald’s rep that he had been ill for quite some time but did not give specifics.

Late star Donald Sutherland is being remembered by his peers.

The iconic actor died at age 88, as announced on June 20. Sutherland starred in films such as “Ordinary People,” “The Dirty Dozen,” “Mash,” “JFK,” and “Klute,” as well as “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Hunger Games.” Among his extensive filmography was also TV series “Citizen X,” “The Undoing,” and “Trust.”

Sutherland won an honorary Oscar in 2017 and was an Emmy winner for “Citizen X.”

Sutherland’s son, actor Kiefer Sutherland, tweeted to confirm his passing.

“With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” Kiefer Sutherland wrote. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film.

Not even legends live forever. Donald Sutherland, the acclaimed Canadian actor with decades worth of roles and awards to his name, has died at age 88, Deadline reports. He is survived by his wife Francine Racette, who he'd been with since 1972. Sutherland had been married twice before meeting Racette, first to Lois Hardwick from 1959 to 1966 and then to the late Shirley Douglas from 1966 to 1970.

Sutherland also leaves behind five children: Kiefer ("24"), Rachel, Rossif ("Three Pines"), Angus ("1917"), and Roeg. All of Sutherland's children followed him into the entertainment business: Kiefer, Rossif, and Angus are actors, Rachel is a production manager, and Roeg is a talent agent.

Born in Saint John, New Brunswick on July 17, 1935, Sutherland had a middle-class upbringing -- his father Frederick was a salesman and his mother Dorothy was a teacher. However, he was also a sickly child, suffering at different points from polio, rheumatic fever, hepatitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever.

Exclusive: Here’s a buzzy series coming together that should get the attention of networks.

Christina Ricci, recent Golden Globe nominee for Yellowjackets, and Midnight Mass star Hamish Linklater are set to lead true crime series Chop Shop, which is set against the funeral business in 1980s San Fernando Valley.

Inspired by the Kathy Braidhill book of the same name, the series will chart the chilling and twisted tale of the Lamb Funeral Home in 1980s Los Angeles. When David Sconce — the Machiavellian scion of a Bible college football coach and a church organist — takes the reins of the family business, the seemingly All-American clan begins a jaw-dropping descent from saints to sinners. Desperate to keep their funeral home afloat, Sconce engineers a sinister new business strategy, replete with human body harvesting and mass cremation. The script will paint a harrowing portrait of hubris against the neon greed of the era,...

A lot of people might think the era of Prestige TV began in 2013 or 2014, with the release of “House of Cards” or “True Detective.” But really, you can look at something like 2011’s “Mildred Pierce” as the start. And the people behind that limited series are teaming up yet again for a new HBO series, “Trust.”

The series is based on the novel of the same name by Hernan Diaz, which in 2023 won a Pulitzer Prize. Diaz and Winslet both executive produce alongside Haynes and Raymond, as do Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler for Killer Films.

Exclusive: Academy Award winner Jared Leto is set to produce and star in a new film from h.wood Media, the multi-strategy vertical of L.A.-based hospitality company The h.wood Group, that draws inspiration from the story of retired professor-turned-cat burglar suspect Dr. Lawrence Gray.

Currently untitled, the film written by Andy Bellin (Lovelace) adapts the article “The Talented Dr. Gray” by Steve Kroft and Howard L. Rosenberg, which was first published on Graydon Carter’s Airmail in 2022.

Gray, a retired political science professor from John Cabot University, is charged with orchestrating a sophisticated theft operation involving high-value jewels and art pieces. Known for his impeccable manners and elite social connections, Gray allegedly stole over $1 million worth of valuables from homes in five states. His victims included acquaintances he met through social events, such as weddings and fundraisers, and notably, his longtime lover, Jacqueline Quillen, a prominent figure in Washington D.

Sam Mendes is undoubtedly one of the best filmmakers of our times. Among his many hit films are American Beauty (1999), which earned him the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Director, then Road to Perdition (2002), Jarhead (2005), Revolutionary Road (2008), the James Bond films Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015), and the critically acclaimed war film 1917 (2019). He also made Empire of Light in 2022 but has not been active since. Yet, earlier this year, it was reported that Mendes was working on an ambitious four-film project related to arguably the best band ever – The Beatles!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Steelbook 4K Uhd from Sony

It’s only fitting that on the day the score drops for Challengers, composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Thom Yorke’s first score since Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria would arrive. The Radiohead and Smile frontman’s latest work is the 12-track score for Daniele Luchetti’s Confidenza aka Trust, the Italian director adaptation of Domenico Starnone’s novel.

A collaboration with producer Sam Petts-Davies, the London Contemporary Orchestra, and a jazz ensemble featuring Tom Skinner and Robert Stillman, as reported by Stereogum, it’s not just an instrumental production as Yorke provides vocals throughout.

The film, which premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam earlier this year and opens in Italy this week, stars Elio Germano as a teacher in his forties named Pietro Vella who works in a rundown Roman high school. He strongly believes he can help students strive for a better future and Teresa, and bright and rebellious student,...

Megadeth surprised fans with an impromptu acoustic set in front of the Hotel Madero in Buenos Aires.

Local Argentinians and Megadeth faithful who happened to catch the performance were treated to unplugged renditions of “Trust,” “Angry Again,” and “Symphony of Destruction.” And by unplugged, we mean totally acoustic — no mics, open air. Drummer Dirk Verbeuren doesn’t even have an instrument and instead slaps his thighs to the beat.

In the fan-filmed footage, the gathered crowd sings along soccer-chant style and actually overtakes the band in volume.

The pop-up set reprises Megadeth’s previous outside-of-hotel acoustic sets in Buenos Aires in 2016 (Four Seasons) and in 2018, when Mustaine played a surprise unplugged solo set for fans outside a hotel in Mendoza, Argentina, during a brief vacation following shows in Mexico.

Megadeth’s current Latin American tour runs through the end of April, followed by a European jaunt in June (tickets available here.

When rock and pop A-listers have needed a world-class country singer to sing on their song over the past few years, they usually call Chris Stapleton. Since his last album, 2020’s Starting Over, the 45 year-old traditionalist has duetted with Taylor Swift and Adele, written songs with Santana, and collaborated with Tom Morello and Pink. But that doesn’t mean he’s no longer a country centrist, having worked with everyone from Carly Pearce to Morgan Wallen to Willie Nelson.

Of all his recent famous collaborators, Adele feels like the most relevant model on Higher,...

Italy’s Indiana Production – which has just become part of pan-European studio Vuelta Group – is staying true to its roots with production kicking off this month on gender swap movie “Romeo is Juliet,” directed by quality comedy specialist Giovanni Veronesi, just as the company expands its horizons.

This latest title in Indiana’s slate stars A-lister Sergio Castellitto and Pilar Fogliati (“Romantiche”) who plays an actress named Vittoria who after being brutally rejected by a cynical stage director when she auditions to play Juliet in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” decides to reinvent herself as a man to audition for Romeo and gets the part. The film’s lead actors and director are pictured above.

“Romeo is Juliet” is being produced by Indiana, co-produced by Capri Entertainment, and will be distributed in Italian theatres by Vision Distribution. The movie will start production in September.

The Cure’s double live album Show is being reissued on vinyl for the first time since its initial release in 1993.

The fresh repressing was remastered by The Cure’s Robert Smith and Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. The reissue was initially made available as a limited-edition picture disc for Record Store Day 2023, but it will receive a wide-release on 2xLP black vinyl beginning September 8th. Pre-orders are now ongoing.

The 18-track live album was recorded at The Palace in Auburn Hills, Michigan in July 1992 during The Cure’s “Wish Tour.” The tracklist includes performances of “Pictures of You,” “High,” “Lullaby,” Just Like Heaven,” Fascination Street,” “The Walk,” “Let’s Go To Bed,” “Friday I’m In Love,” “Never Enough,” and “Inbetween Days” as well as deep cut like “Trust” and “From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea.”

The Cure recently wrapped up a record-breaking North American leg...

Chris Stapleton has announced that his fifth studio album, Higher, will drop on November 10th via Mercury Nashville. As a preview, he’s also shared the record’s first single, “White Horse.” Listen to the song below.

Co-produced by Stapleton along with his wife Morgane Stapleton and his longtime collaborator Dave Cobb, Higher is the first LP from the 45-year-old country star since 2020’s Starting Over. The 14-track album will “span genres and defy easy categorization,” according to a press release. Pre-orders are ongoing.

The single “White Horse” certainly suggests that Stapleton is leaning into his strengths as a cross-genre act. Lyrics about cowboys “ridin’ off into the sunset” create a classic country vibe, but the electric guitar-driven arrangement feels akin to straight-up rock music, with a thick wall of sound delivering the powerful harmonic progression, and a guitar solo that’s a whole lot closer to Lynyrd Skynyrd than Chet Atkins.

Chris Stapleton will return in November with Higher, the country star’s first album since his award-winning 2020 LP Starting Over.

Ahead of Higher’s Nov. 10 release, Stapleton has shared the album’s rocking first single, “White Horse,” co-written by Stapleton and Dan Wilson (of Semisonic fame). The pair previously collaborated on Stapleton’s 2015 track “When the Stars Come Out.”

Higher, available to preorder now, was co-produced by longtime collaborator Dave Cobb, Chris and his wife Morgane Stapleton, and features instrumentation from bassist J.T. Cure, pedal steel guitarist Paul Franklin, pianist Lee Pardini,...

This episode of Wtf Happened to this Celebrity is written by Taylor James Johnson & Brad Hamerly

Once upon a time, we here at Joblo launched a new series aimed at digging into what happened to celebrities that were once on the A-list only to see their star power diminish over the years. Our goal was to shine a light on the people that make us say “I haven’t seen them in a while, I wonder Wtf happened to them?” But a lot can happen in three years, one second you are the subject of the pilot episode of Wtf Happened to this Celebrity and the next you are an Academy Award Winning actor!

But as always we must begin at the beginning and for us that beginning began on September 19, 2019 when we posted our very first Wtf Happened to This Celebrity video. We wanted to start off with a bang,...

Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro died due to a drug overdose, according to a newly released autopsy (via TMZ).

Peligro passed away from the “combined effects of fentanyl and heroin,” the autopsy concluded. Additionally, he had non-small cell lung cancer at the time of his death.

Peligro died on Friday, October 28th, 2022, at the age of 63. Initially, his cause of death was reported to be trauma to the head caused by an accidental fall in his Los Angeles home. However, the autopsy stated that there was no evidence of traumatic injuries.

When Tim Burton was making "Batman" back in the late 1980s, he was approached by Warner Bros. about the possibility of including a few hot pop songs on the soundtrack. The studio's idea was to invite Prince to write several songs and to release a soundtrack record alongside an album of Danny Elfman's notable score. While Burton was a fan of Prince -- and who isn't? -- he didn't like the idea of including pop songs in "Batman." The studio, however, got their way, and songs like "Trust" and "Partyman" underscored several notable scenes in Burton's movie. Burton hated the result. He was once quoted as saying: 

"It completely lost me. And it tainted something that I don't want to taint, which is how you feel about an artist. And actually, I liked his album. I wish I could listen to it without the feel of what had happened.

There are a number of reasons why Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever is not held in higher regard by fans of the Caped Crusader’s cinematic outings. Bat nipples, swapping Billy Dee Williams out for a scenery-chewing Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face, and a sequence in which Chris O’Donnell’s Dick Grayson demonstrates his suitability for the role of Robin via some laundry-based karate all rank pretty highly.

Yet if there is one element of the movie that has stood the test of time more than anything, it’s the soundtrack. Batman Forever arrived at multiplexes in 1995, and it was a time when movie soundtracks were still a key part of the marketing machine. Few would play that game better either than the first one with Bat-nipples.

The power of the soundtrack album had already been demonstrated to fine funky effect in Tim Burton’s...
