Ethan Hawke is always in style. From indie legend to Gen X heartthrob, Ethan Hawke isn’t just an actor—he’s a whole cinematic timeline. He’s that guy who shows up at every major milestone in a man’s life, like some kind of soulful, scruffy time traveler. High school angst? Dead Poets Society. Young love and midnight wanderings? Before Sunrise.

The man is the coming-of-age genre. And here’s the kicker: Dead Poets Society—one of his earliest and most iconic roles—did more than launch his career. It left a permanent mark, thanks in no small part to Robin Williams.

Hawke recently opened up about how Williams gave him more than a breakthrough performance—he left what he calls a “tattoo on his heart.” And along with it, a bittersweet lesson about the glitter and grit of showbiz.

Ethan Hawke says Dead Poets Society left a “tattoo on his heart,...

Exclusive: Yale Entertainment, the independent production company of Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman, has filed for bankruptcy, Deadline has learned.

“Unfortunately, that is true – Yale Entertainment has filed for bankruptcy,” the founders said in a statement to Deadline. “The climate for making independent films has become increasingly difficult – with the pandemic, the industry-wide strikes, and a major shift in the independent film marketplace. We’ve been very fortunate to have collaborated with some extremely talented creatives, and we’re grateful to everyone that has been a part of Yale’s journey.”

No word yet on what Levine and Beckerman will do next.

Levine founded Yale Entertainment in 2010, with an eye toward producing high-quality, filmmaker-driven features at conservative budgets, maximizing the possibility for creative and commercial success. Beckerman joined as a full-time partner and producer in 2017. The company is best known for its work on the cult hit action thriller Becky,...

Exclusive: Severance, Apple TV+’s most-watched series launch of all time, could become “the foundation” of Fifth Season’s library in the future, according to the studio’s new global TV sales boss.

Despite the show currently being available on Apple globally and with at least one more season to come, Jennifer Ebell said there is plenty opportunity to monetize Severance both now and further down the line, while the smash sci-fi thriller is a perpetual reputation builder for Fifth Season.

“Being the number one show on Apple is such a loud calling card,” Ebell told Deadline in her first interview since replacing Prentiss Fraser and as she prepped for today’s L.A. Screenings. “Having great shows like Severance is the foundation of the library in the future. It speaks to the testament of what we are trying to do and what we continue to do.”

Severance Season 2 took the TV world by storm.

Sean Penn expressed doubt that Woody Allen sexually abused his daughter, Dylan Farrow, and stated that he has no qualms about working with the director in the future.

In an open letter to The New York Times in 2014, Farrow came forward to accuse Allen, her adopted father, of molesting her when she was seven. The accusation came a few months after Farrow found out that Allen had begun a relationship with his then-21-year-old adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn. Allen has long denied Farrow’s allegations and was never charged with the crime. Four years later, Farrow wrote an op-ed in The Los Angeles Times, positing the question, “Why has the #MeToo revolution spared Woody Allen?”

Allen recently said that he may not make another movie due to his “cancellation” by Hollywood.

Penn previously worked with Allen in the 1999 musical comedy Sweet and Lowdown, along with actors Uma Thurman, Anthony Lapaglia and Samantha Morton.

Charlize Theron praises her Old Guard 2 co-star Uma Thurman, saying she should have won an Academy Award for Kill Bill. Her first collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, Pulp Fiction, earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. But Thurman’s Academy-ignored portrayal of The Bride in Tarantino’s epic two-part martial arts action opus Kill Billwas arguably more awards-worthy than her smaller role as Mia Wallace in the director’s 1994 breakthrough.

Count Oscar-winner Theron among those who believe Thurman was snubbed for her Kill Bill performance, after the Old Guard 2 star said the Bride actor should’ve received an Academy Award for her “unbelievable” work in Tarantino’s action classic (via Jimmy Kimmel Live). When asked if she knew Thurman before working together in the upcoming Old Guard sequel (releasing on Netflix July 2), Theron said she was always a fan:

We knew each other kind of offhand. But I knew her from being a massive fan,...

There has rarely been a time as promising as now for faith-based movies. With The Chosen: Last Supper trilogy and other Dallas Jenkins properties proving biblical adventures are as popular as ever, it's true that the release of Seong-ho Jang's The King of Kings was perfectly timed. Massively surpassing many people's expectations as to what it could achieve, Jang's tale of Charles Dickens (Kenneth Branagh) and his young son's trip to the past as they witness the life of Jesus Christ, voiced by Oscar Isaac, has been an almighty hit, even hitting another major box office milestone despite its theatrical run slowing down.

In total, The King of Kings has now surpassed the $65 million mark globally, split between $59.1 million in domestic revenue and $6.8 million from overseas markets. Not only is this enough for it to overtake DreamWorks' big-budget animated financial failureThe Road to El Dorado domestically, it also...

The indie film world is betting on 1-2 Special.

The spanking new U.S. theatrical distributor has closed its first round of equity financing, securing backing from a group of private investors led by Alex Lo’s Cinema Inutile. Anita Gou’s Kindred Spirit, Chris Quintos Cathcart and Tyler Boehm’s Unapologetic Projects, and Bill and Mary Way’s Fit Via Vi are also first-round investors in New York-based 1-2.

Launched by former Sideshow executive Jason Hellerstein in February, 1-2 Special is set up as a theatrical-first, all rights distributor, dedicated to “acquiring and releasing exceptional films from top-tier domestic and international festivals.” 1-2 picked up its first feature, Kontinental ’25, from acclaimed Romanian director Radu Jude (Bad Luck Banging, Or Looney Porn) out of the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival. With its coffers full of Pe cash, we expect 1-2 will be an active buyer in Cannes.

After waiting five years, action fans are finally getting the Netflix sequel they’ve longed for, as The Old Guard 2 lands on the streamer in July. Now, following the release of the thrilling first trailer, details of Kill Bill star and Hollywood icon Uma Thurman’s mysterious new character have been revealed. And she will go toe-to-toe with Charlize Theron’s immortal warrior, Andy.

Thurman will join the action of The Old Guard 2 as not just another immortal, but “the first of the immortals,” who calls herself Discord, according to Netflix Tudum. The main villain of the piece, director Victoria Mahoney has teased what’s to come when seeing The Bride, Aka Black Mamba take on Furiosa and Atomic Blonde.

“I believe audiences are excited to see Black Mamba and Atomic Blonde go toe to toe.

For me, in any fight scene, there has to be a worthy opponent.

Actress Uma Thurman is one of the most influential actresses in the industry. She is often hailed as filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s muse, as she has been a part of his projects, including Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2. Tarantino wrote the part of assassin Beatrix Kiddo especially for the actress and gave her joint credits for the character.

Uma Thurman, who started working at a very young age, surprised everyone when it was revealed that she was lawfully wedded to actor Gary Oldman. But what’s more surprising was the duration of their marriage [it was the shortest for both] and how they believed that it was a mistake.

She was the Og.”

The late night host then interjected, “I agree. She should’ve won the Academy Award for Kill Bill, right?” to which Theron answered, “A hundred percent.”

“To me, she’s just such a badass. So, since I’ve been in action movies,...

Charlize Theron is back in action at Netflix with the long-awaited graphic novel adaptation sequel “The Old Guard 2.” And this time? She’s joined by “Kill Bill” action star alum Uma Thurman.

“The Old Guard 2,” which will be released five years after the first film, has been in the throes of production delays at the streamer. Lead star Theron, who also produces the feature, told Variety in 2024 that it was due to the “changeover” at Netflix that in part led to the film’s post-production being shut down; the feature wrapped filming in 2022.

Now, “The Old Guard” is new again.

Victoria Mahoney directs from a script by Greg Rucka and Sarah L. Walker. The film is based on the 2017 graphic novel from Rucka, which is illustrated by Leandro Fernandez. Gina Prince-Bythewood previously helmed the first installment that became a hit on the platform.

You want action, Netflix subscribers? You got it. At least, that is what the new trailer for Old Guard 2 implies. We get a lot of Charlize Theron's Andy shooting guns, making her karate moves, and looking pretty impressive.

The good part is that the trailer doesn't have Andy as the only intimidating female actor. Uma Thurman, who plays antagonist Discord, is featured quite a bit in the trailer and is Kill Bill-era awesome.

If you like bad guys and gals, that is. What is certain is that Andy will not have an easy time facing off against Discord. The trailer tells us that Thurman's character knows everything she needs to know about her adversaries, so she has the advantage. Andy and her immortal warrior pals must plan some sneak attack.

After a lengthy delay, The Old Guard 2 is finally set to premiere on Netflix on July 2, and a poster and action-packed first trailer have now been released.

Gina Prince-Bythewood's original adaptation of Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez's sci-fi action comic series proved to be a huge hit for the streamer, and also received positive reviews from critics.

Victoria Mahoney directs the sequel from a script from Leandro Fernandez, Greg Rucka and Sarah L. Walker. Prince-Bythewood is on board as a producer along with Theron, A.J. Dix, David Ellison, Marc Evans, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, and Beth Kono.

After surviving the events of the first film and finally finding a sense of peace, Charlize Theron's Andromache of Scythia ("Andy") and her team of ancient warriors return to battle Uma Thurman's mysterious foe, who is known as "The First Immortal."

After years of being stuck in an emotional whirlpool, Dexter fans might just be getting the series they’ve been holding their breath for. Dexter: Resurrection, the upcoming sequel show, is set to debut on July 11, 2025; it promises an enthralling continuation that aims to correct the mistakes of the past while delving deeper into what made the Og series a cult fascination.

Picking up the storyline just a few weeks after the finale of Dexter: New Blood, this new chapter reveals a pivotal twist: Dexter Morgan is alive! Alive and well, he’s headed to NYC on a mission to reunite with his estranged teenage son, Harrison. But let’s get one thing clear: this isn’t going to be your typical father-son reconciliation story. This psychological crime-thriller is going to be brimming with Dexter’s legendary legacy, all things gore, and hauntingly real emotional struggles.

Heavily-delayed Netflix action sequel The Old Guard 2 finally has a release date, and its first trailer as well.

Remember The Old Guard? It released during those pandemic years and, due in part to the fact that we were all watching more movies back then, garnered a hugely impressive 70 million views in its first month of release.

A follow-up was duly commissioned and shot back in mid-2022 before the film fell into a black hole of development hell, languishing there for several years before emerging today with a shiny new trailer.

Uma Thurman and Henry Golding join Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne for the sequel which will follow Theron and her band of immortal warriors in their ongoing quest to save the world. Victoria Mahoney has replaced Gina Prince-Bythewood in the director’s chair. A Netflix regime change and the Hollywood strikes further delayed things before a first round of reshoots was eventually ordered.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thunderbolts*is quickly on its way to surpassing what some may consider one of DC’s worst superhero movies ever. The latest MCU installment, led by Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, and Wyatt Russell, could pass 1997’s widely-panned Batman & Robin on a list of The Numbers’ top 100 superhero movies.

Thunderbolts*, from director Jake Schreier, easily took the top spot during its debut weekend and has quickly earned $86 million at the domestic box office. During its theatrical run 28 years ago, Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin, starring George Clooney and Chris O’Donnell as the titular characters, earned $107 million.

At its current pace, there’s a high chance that this weekend’s haul could put Thunderbolts* ahead of the DC film that also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy, Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl, and Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth.

The Old Guard 2...

The Old Guard was a hit movie for Netflix when it premiered back in 2020, and is one of the few original films on the streamer that has the staying power to keep people excited years later. Charlize Theron played Andromache of Scythia — Andy, for short — the head of an elite group of immortals known as the Old Guard who defend humanity from the shadows. The movie had a good story, a solid cast, and the blow-out action scenes to leave viewers breathless.

And if you thought the bad guys were dangerous in the first film, they're nothing compared to what's ahead: none other than Kill Bill star Uma Thurman, who plays the original immortal Discord.

“She is the first of the immortals,” Golding warns Theron in the trailer. “She knows your histories, your relationships. I am scared of what she is capable of.”

When "The Old Guard" dropped on Netflix in the summer of 2020, it was a surprising little treat for action fans who like their stories a bit more supernatural. It wasn't a perfect movie by any means, and some reviewers (/FIlm's included) were frustrated because they wanted something more from a big action flick starring Charlize Theron. Still, "The Old Guard" is honestly a darn good movie that ticks all the right boxes for a popcorn-chomping afternoon at home.
