Angelina Jolie is set to attend Italy’s Torino Film Festival for the international premiere of “Without Blood,” her fifth film as a director, which is based on Italian author Alessandro Baricco’s short novel by the same title.

The drama about war, revenge, memory and healing stars Salma Hayek Pinault and Demián Bichir and world premiered in September at Toronto Film Festival.

The story revolves around Nina (Hayek Pinault), who witnesses as a young girl the carnage inflicted by her father’s enemies on her father and brother. She escapes by hiding under the family’s farmhouse floor, and although one of the murderers — a man named Tito (Bichir) — spots her, he decides to keep quiet. Many years later, they meet again.

“Without Blood,” which was shot at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, will screen on Nov. 24 at Torino’s Cinema Ideal with Jolie and Baricco present. Torino’s 42nd edition is being held Nov.

This story contains spoilers for the Nov. 19 episode of “Dancing With the Stars”

In Tuesday night’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” each of the five remaining couples performed one ballroom dance and one Latin dance but only four earned enough points and votes to go on to next week’s finale… at least that’s how the show usually works.

The elimination came down to the two Olympic athletes: Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik… but, in a repeat of Season 32, no one was sent home before the finale. Which means all five couples will be competing in the finale.

Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson earned their first perfect score for a Foxtrot to “I Won’t Dance” by Erin Boheme. The beaming “Bachelor” star said, “Never got one of those before. Feels really good!” Derek Hough raved, “Fred Astaire is high-fiving you right now,” and dubbed it “one...

Charles Gillibert‘s Paris-based CG Cinema is producing. Winocour is working again with Pathe Films here after her feature Paris Memories which premiered in Cannes’ Directors Fortnight and notched its actress Virginie Efira a Cesar Award.

Winocour’s Proxima starred Eva Green as an astronaut who is readying for a long run on the International Space Station. She contends with maneuvering a male dominated environment, as well as life as a mother. Green earned a Cesar nom.

“Dogma 2” needs Matt and Ben to get made. Fortunately, Kevin Smith has leverage over them.

During an appearance at the Vulture Festival over the weekend (via Deadline) celebrating the 25th anniversary of Smith’s cult favorite fantasy comedy “Dogma,” the writer-director revealed that he’s working on a sequel to the film, which remains one of his most successful, critically and commercially.

“Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it,’” Smith said at the event. “And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”

Smith said he is confident that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who starred as fallen angels Bartleby and Loki in the original film, will return for the sequel because they owe him for helping their breakthrough film “Good Will Hunting” get made and then forgetting to thank him when...

Now is the time to rejoice and be glad, for Kevin Smith is celebrating the liberation of Dogma with more Dogma. The director discussed the film at the Vulture Festival, outlining plans for a Dogma tour, SteelBook release, and eventual streaming premiere. But that's not all: he's also writing what...

Kevin Smith has confirmed he's working on a sequel to 'Dogma'.The 54-year-old filmmaker wrote and directed the 1999 fantasy comedy film starring Ben Affleck, 52, as Bartleby and Matt Damon, 54, as Loki and he is hoping the pair will appear in the new movie.Speaking at the Dogma Confessional to mark the flick's 25th anniversary on Sunday (17.11.24) at Vulture Festival, he said: “Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f****** touch it. You’ll ruin it.'“And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f****** tickled. I found a way in.”The 'Mallrats' director quipped that he could bribe the pair into filming a cameo because he revived their 1997 film 'Good Will Hunting', but admitted the sequel relies on Ben and Damon reprising their roles as the fallen angels.Kevin said: “I have been able to hold that over both their heads for 25 f****** years,...

Director Kevin Smith confirmed plans for a sequel to his 1999 religious comedy “Dogma” at the 2016 Vulture Festival. Original stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are expected to return in significant parts.

Smith directly addressed potential fan skepticism, noting that some may hesitate to revisit the cult favorite. “Some people will say, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. “You’ll ruin it,” Smith warned. “And I’m here to tell you: I will.”

The project follows a meaningful step in which the film’s long-standing rights concerns were resolved. Previously owned by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the rights have been purchased by an undisclosed business. This accomplishment paves the way for a sequel, a 25th anniversary theatrical re-release, and a new 4K home media edition.

Smith expressed confidence in Affleck and Damon’s roles, promising more than a cameo. “The only way we get a ‘Dogma’ sequel made is if they’re there,...

Kevin Smith is working on a sequel to Dogma 25 years after its original release, and he expects Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to make at least cameo appearances.

During his “Dogma Confessional” at Vulture Festival, Smith shared his excitement about the project, joking about potential backlash:

Some people will say, ‘Don’t mess with it—you’ll ruin it.’ And I probably will. But I’m thrilled because I’ve found a way to make it happen.”

Smith is confident that Affleck and Damon will return as fallen angels Bartleby and Loki. He humorously added that after helping them with Good Will Hunting in 1997, they owe him.

The panel marked Dogma’s 25th anniversary, reflecting on the original film’s story about two angels trying to find a loophole to get back into heaven. The 1999 movie starred Linda Fiorentino, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, and Alanis Morissette,...

After 25 years, Kevin Smith is reconnecting with the man upstairs for the unholiest of sequels.

During his Dogma Confessional on Sunday at Vulture Festival, the View Askewniverse creator revealed that he’s working on a sequel to the 1999 film, and he expects Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to return for cameos at least.

“Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it,'” said Smith. “And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”

He sounded confident that Affleck and Damon would reprise their roles as fallen angels Bartleby and Loki. After Smith helped save the pair’s 1997 film Good Will Hunting, without so much as a thank you in their Golden Globes and Oscars speeches, they owe him.

“I have been able to hold that over both their heads for 25 f—ing years,...

Once known as the golden couple of Hollywood, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have constantly been in the spotlight, especially due to their legal battle. However, as Jolie returns to the screen with her new musical drama Maria, rumors have emerged suggesting that her ex-husband is attempting to undermine her Oscar chances.

However, it is unlikely that the alleged attempts from Pitt would succeed, especially after the Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins, renowned for Moonlight, publicly praised Jolie’s performance and even went on to compare her work to that of Denzel Washington’s iconic performance in Malcolm X.

Barry Jenkins Praises Angelina Jolie’s Performance in Maria

Angelina Jolie is returning to the silver screen with her upcoming biographical psychological drama Maria, which premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival and has received positive reviews from critics.

Robert Rodriguez’s El Mariachi Trilogy or Mexico Trilogy is now available in a new Blu-ray collection, which includes a 4K transfer of Desperado, courtesy of Arrow Video. The first movie was never truly intended to be a franchise starter. It was actually Rodriguez practicing how to make a movie. El Mariachi would put him on the map for film studios, but it was the sequel, Desperado, that brought him into the mainstream. It would also make Antonio Banderas an action star and introduced audiences to Salma Hayek. And it’s this manic film that we take a look at in this episode of Reel Action.

If you’re into movies, chances are you’ve heard the inspirational story behind Robert Rodriguez’s debut feature film. But if you aren’t up to speed, 1995’s Desperado is actually a sequel to a small film from 1992 called El Mariachi. And when I say small,...

Chris Evans has been sporting a bushy new beard on his Red One press tour and he’s explaining the choice behind the facial hair.

Chris told Entertainment Tonight that the beard is for “a job I am working on.”

“It’s a film called Sacrifice with Anya Taylor-Joy and John Malkovich,” Chris added. The star-studded cast also includes Brendan Fraser, Salma Hayek, Charli Xcx, and Vincent Cassel, among others.

Deadline reports that Sacrifice — loosely inspired by the Joan Of Arc story — “tells the story of Joan (Taylor-Joy), a zealous spirit driven by a volcanic prophecy only she can hear, who is on a mission to save the world from a fiery reckoning. Along with her militia of mystical disciples, she hijacks...

While speaking to CinePop during D23 Brazil yesterday, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige shared an update on the status of an Eternals follow-up and spoke about the possibility of characters from the Inhumans making their MCU debut.

Eternals not only had the dubious honor of being the first Marvel Studios movie to drop to "rotten" status on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but also finishing up its U.S. run with a disappointing $164.9 million to give it the lowest domestic haul of any McU-set film aside from 2008's The Incredible Hulk ($134M).

Even so, we appeared to get confirmation that a follow-up was in the early planning stages... when Game of Thrones alum Kit Harington (who made his MCU debut as Dane Whitman in the movie) suggested that the project had been scrapped!

Not exactly a surprise, but does that mean we won't be seeing Sersi, Thena, Kingo and the others...

Like Water for Chocolate features a strong Spanish ensemble of actors led by Azul Guaita and Andrés Baida.

Robert Pattinson discussed how being an underdog influenced his role as Batman. (Photo Credit – Instagram)

When Robert Pattinson was announced as the next Batman, some of us hit the panic button. You could practically hear the collective gasp echo. But Pattinson? He saw it as an opportunity. “It’s much more fun when you’re an underdog. There’s no expectation of you,” he quipped, clearly reveling in the thrill of proving the naysayers wrong.

Flashback to mid-May—Pattinson was on a flight from L.A. to the Cannes Film Festival, buzzing about the premiere of his new flick, The Lighthouse. Meanwhile, whispers of his casting as Batman were causing chaos online, and he was refreshing his phone like a teenager scrolling through social media. “When that thing leaked, I was f—ing furious,” he said. You’d think the world was about to implode, and in his mind, it just might!

After crafting the best film of 2023 with The Beast, Bertrand Bonello is prepping his next feature. While he was tight-lipped on details, he tells Variety, “It’s a little early to talk about it. It’s going to be very different. It’s going to be completely different. The writing is finished, and we’re going to start the casting process. I’m going to announce it once the casting is done. I hope to start shooting next September.” Speaking about how cinema is changing, he added, “This mutation is freaky and fascinating. If you don’t involve it in your creation, you’re out. It’s always an equilibrium. You must protect the past and welcome the future. If you just welcome the future, you’re lost in the movement. If you protect the past, you’re out now.”

Was Tom Cruise criticized for Tropic Thunder? ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia )

Remember when Tom Cruise turned the Hollywood game upside down in Tropic Thunder? Forget his usual high-octane heroics; in this 2008 gem, he traded in his action star cape for the over-the-top persona of Les Grossman, a studio exec you’d never want to meet in a dark alley. Seriously, it was bold—and honestly, a little bizarre. That’s what makes it brilliant.

Cruise waltzed into the film like a whirlwind, and one of the standout moments was his hilariously outrageous dance to Ludacris’s “Get Back.” Here’s the kicker: Cruise needed a big favor from the rapper to nail that iconic scene. That’s right—before he could bust a move, he had to get the green light from Ludacris. Talk about a power move!

Remember the days when saving the world was the ultimate hero gig? Fast forward to 2019, and we watched Earth’s mightiest heroes in Avengers: Endgame take on the ultimate challenge—saving half the universe! But after that, who could settle for anything less than multiple universes? Enter the multiverse, where superheroes now juggle realities like it’s no big deal, all thanks to Doctor Strange.

The multiverse started in 2018 with Into the Spider-Verse. Then No Way Home brought Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire together. But let’s not forget about DC! They weren’t sitting on the sidelines. Shows like The Flash, Arrow, and Batwoman twisted timelines like pretzels. Plus, Teen Titans Go! Teen Titans mashed up characters from various realities in an epic animated showdown. And what’s next? The Flash movie promises a wild nostalgia trip...

Why was Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ first date weird? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Once upon a time, in the glitzy world of Hollywood, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds kicked off their love story in the most hilariously awkward way possible—a double date! Flashback to last year when Ryan shared the juicy details during an interview with People. He recounted how he and Blake were out with other people when the sparks began to fly. “[Blake] was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl,” he said. “That was the most awkward date for our respective partners because we were just, like, fireworks coming across…” Cue Ryan mimicking fireworks, and honestly, who could resist that cuteness?

Fast forward to this month, and the tables turned when Blake was in the hot seat during another People interview. Jess Eagle played Ryan’s charming recounting of their initial chemistry,...

Did Henry Cavill almost miss the role of Superman? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Picture this: a young Henry Cavill, a.k.a. the future Superman, was deep in the pixelated trenches of World of Warcraft, slaying dragons and saving the virtual world. Little did he know, the real-life Zack Snyder was trying to reach him to deliver the news that would change his life forever. Yep, this super-hunk nearly missed out on his shot at greatness because he was busy gaming!

Born on May 5, 1983, Cavill became a household name not just for his looks but also for embracing his inner geek. While trading blows in World of Warcraft, he ignored Snyder’s call, saying, “Hey, you’re Superman!”

Imagine the epicness of that moment: while most folks would be nervously awaiting their big break, Cavill was glued to his screen, battling it out. Later, when he finally realized he’d missed the call,...

Was Angelina Jolie almost cast in Charlie’s Angels? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Remember when Angelina Jolie had a golden opportunity to strut her stuff alongside Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore in Charlie’s Angels? Yep, back in 2000, she was all set to join the action-packed girl gang but said, “Thanks, but no thanks!” Why would a rising star with an Oscar on the horizon turn down such a juicy role? Let’s dive into this wild ride of a decision.

At the time, Jolie was on fire! With hits like The Bone Collector and Girl, Interrupted, she was on her path to literal stardom. Columbia Pictures thought Charlie’s Angels would be the icing for her career. They rolled out the red carpet, pitching it hard. “When [Columbia Pictures] sent me the script for Charlie’s Angels, they said there hadn’t been perfect, strong roles for women, that it would make me a big star,...

There were protests against Game Of Thrones’ misogyny (Photo Credit – Instagram)

If Game of Thrones shocked the world with its jaw-dropping twists and dragons, it also rattled cages with how it treated its female characters. Case in point: Sansa Stark’s rape in Season Five. The scene was so disturbing that then-Senator Claire McCaskill swore off the show entirely, calling it “disgusting and unacceptable.” And she wasn’t alone. Fans had already been through enough, watching women get brutalized season after season—from Daenerys’s marital rape in episode one to Cersei’s assault by Jaime. People had hit their limit by the time Sansa’s ordeal hit the screen.

But honestly, some viewers checked out way earlier. Remember when King Joffrey, Westeros’s resident sadist, forced Sansa to strip and then had prostitutes beat each other to a bloody pulp for fun? Yeah, that was my cue to head for the exit.

Billie Eilish confessed to having a crush on Justin Bieber (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Alright, listen up! Billie Eilish had a severe crush on Justin Bieber back in the day, and the way it all went down is just too cute to handle. In R.J. Cutler’s doc, Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, we get a front-row seat to her obsession. Her mom even joked about possibly taking her to therapy because Billie was that into it! Can you imagine little Billie dreaming about meeting her idol?

The real magic happens when Billie finally meets her crush. Picture this: she’s surrounded by a mob of screaming fans, and then—boom! She locks eyes with Justin. The world around them just fades away, and you can feel the electric vibe in the air. Her face lights up with this pure, unfiltered love, and it’s honestly overwhelming to watch.

The best episodes of Friends you must watch ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Nothing quite whisks us back to simpler times like Friends. With Chandler’s razor-sharp sarcasm and Joey’s sweet cluelessness, this show was the ultimate escape from the real world. Spanning over 200 episodes in a decade, Friends didn’t just stay locked in the ’90s; it became a pop culture staple that the 2020s still can’t shake off.

Between the tear-jerker moments, catchphrases that have a life of their own, and scenarios that veer delightfully off-track, Friends nailed comedy with heart. So, let’s talk about fan-favorite episodes, aka the ones we keep going back to, no matter what.

Was Brad Pitt criticized for Fight Club? ( Photo Credit – Flickr )

David Fincher is done fighting over Fight Club. The iconic director has faced criticism from every corner, with myriad labels labeling Tyler Durden—a character brought to life by Brad Pitt—as a symbol of toxic masculinity, racism, and misogyny. But now, Fincher steps into the ring to defend his creation. He sees Tyler not as a role model but as a cautionary tale, misunderstood by many who missed the film’s point.

You’d think a movie from ’99 would have faded into cinematic obscurity, but here we are, still discussing its legacy. Fincher expressed his frustration clearly: “It’s impossible for me to imagine that people don’t understand that Tyler Durden is a negative influence.” He challenged the audience to recognize the film’s toxic masculinity critique rather than embrace it. Fincher was not just defending his work...

With a career of over two decades, Eminem is popularly known for his sharp lyricism, controversial themes, and powerful storytelling. He has sold millions of albums worldwide, including The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show, and earned multiple Grammy Awards. His venture into acting with a critically acclaimed role in 8 Mile and business through his record label, Shady Records, also earned him widespread success as a global hip-hop icon.

As per Celebrity Net Worth, the multi-platinum-selling American rapper has a net worth of $250 million. Born in Missouri, Eminem grew up with his single mom. As a child, he was bullied frequently at school. While he always dreamt of being a comic book artist, that changed when he heard his first rap song,...

Did Cardi B actually confess to drugging and robbing men? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Picture this: a young Cardi B, just a few steps away from superstardom, spills the tea on her wild past in an Instagram Live that would return to haunt her. Fast forward three years and that video resurfaced, causing a digital uproar. In it, Cardi got honest about her days as a stripper, recalling how she’d invite men to hotel rooms only to hit them with the ultimate betrayal—drugging and robbing them. Talk about a plot twist!

The clip set off a social media frenzy when it made its rounds. “Ni**as must have forgotten the shit that I did to motherfucking survive,” she declared, ready to snatch the narrative back from the critics who claimed she hadn’t worked for her success. She laid it down straight: “Nothing was motherfucking handed to me!”

How did Scarlett Johansson become the highest-paid actress? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Black Widow’s most lucrative superpower? Her killer negotiating skills. In a world where superhero films ruled the box office, Scarlett Johansson topped Forbes’ list of highest-paid actresses, raking in about $56M.

Scarlett Johansson snagged a massive payday from her Marvel reign, raking in an eight-figure check for her solo Black Widow film and a $35M bonus for Avengers: Endgame, which grossed $2.8B. She wasn’t alone at the top, though.

Fresh faces like Elisabeth Moss and Margot Robbie joined veterans Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon among the ten highest-paid actresses, collectively earning $314.6M from June 2018 to June 2019—a 69% increase from the previous year. Yet, they still trailed behind the top male stars. Johansson proved she was not just a superhero on-screen but a powerhouse in Hollywood!

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has significantly impacted both the Bollywood and Hollywood industries. One of the globally renowned Indian actresses, singers, and producers, her career skyrocketed after she delivered notable performances in films like Mary Kom, Fashion, and Barfi.

After success in Bollywood, Priyanka explored her acting career in Hollywood and earned her breakthrough with a role in the TV show Quantico. While her Hollywood career expanded with roles in films like Baywatch and The Matrix Resurrections, it didn’t come easy for her.

Although Priyanka has been a leading celebrity in Bollywood for years, her decision to settle for several B-grade Hollywood films was not something that her fans expected. In a throwback conversation with Dax Shepherd on the Armchair Expert podcast, Priyanka opened up about the reasons behind leaving Bollywood despite being an accomplished actress. She admitted,...

Was Rachel better than Monica on Friends? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Let’s remember the ’90s when Friends was a literal cultural movement. It gave us catchphrases, fashion trends, and a gang of characters we couldn’t help but love—especially Monica Geller and Rachel Green. While these two were best buds, let’s break down why Rachel was the Mvp of the duo.

Rachel: The Chill Queen

First, Rachel was like the easy-going friend we all need. Monica, bless her competitive heart, could turn a simple game night into the Olympics. Who wants to feel stressed over a trivia quiz? Rachel? She was just vibing. Sure, she eventually figured out her career path, but she never lost sight of what was truly important—like not getting bent out of shape over the small stuff. Rachel knew how to keep it cool when Monica was busy trying to win every battle.

Despite having parted ways years ago, fans of the once-golden Hollywood couple still hold on to memories of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s relationship. Now, while promoting his latest project, We Live in Time, co-starring Florence Pugh, Garfield has finally spoken up about his personal life, offering insights into the lessons the industry has taught him.

One particular subject took the actor back to 2016, when his relationship with Stone, his co-star in The Amazing Spider-Man, was the subject of immense media attention and speculation. Garfield, known for being protective of his privacy, spoke with a rare openness—albeit subtly and indirectly.

Salma Hayek is an influential personality and one of the most gorgeous Hollywood actresses. She must have been pursued by many suitors, but did you know former US President Donald Trump was one of them? The Eternals star once claimed that she rejected Trump’s romantic advances years ago, and he retaliated by attempting to humiliate her because of her height later on. Scroll below for the deets.

Trump is an American politician, media personality, and businessman. He was the 45th president of the United States and served the nation from 2017 to 2021. According to Buzzfeed’s report, Trump tried to ask Salma out on a date, but she dismissed him as she was already dating someone.
