April 25, 2024 – A trio of stellar actors give voice to the featured members of the Dickens family as Academy Award winner Kenneth Branagh portrays Charles Dickens, Oscar nominee Uma Thurman plays Catherine Dickens and Golden Globe nominee Roman Griffin Davis gives life to Walter Dickens in Mofac Animation’s upcoming The King of Kings, an animated family film inspired by a little-known short story by Charles Dickens depicting the life and times of Jesus Christ.
Renowned for his big screen adaptations of William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie tales, Branagh changes gears to portray one of the greatest authors of the ages for The King of Kings. As Charles Dickens, Branagh portrays a man conflicted between his burgeoning career and his role as father to the Dickens clan and, in particular, his youngest son Walter (Davis).

With all the attention brought on Christopher Nolan with his first post-Warner Bros. film, Oppenheimer, the studio with the famous shield has been itching to reconnect with the auteur. Nolan, himself, says his issues with Warners is “water under the bridge” and it looks as if they’re going to try for a second take at getting audiences to see Tenet in theaters. The John David Washington time-bending vehicle was originally released in the thick of the pandemic and made an effort to make movies a safe place to go again after having closed down. However, Warner Bros. had also put into affect a temporary release plan that made Tenet available on HBO Max as the movie still played in theaters. This was not the ideal release for Nolan who made sure he filmed for the biggest screens possible with IMAX. Warner Bros. has now announced that for one week only,...

But if there's one thing that we can all agree remains eternally true, no matter what, it's this: I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago.
In perhaps the most shamelessly "Dudes rock" news of 2024, Warner Bros. and IMAX are teaming up for a can't-miss theatrical event in celebration of two of our most distinctive and acclaimed blockbuster filmmakers around.

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: The New Day vs. Imperium (Double count-out) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
After weeks of animosity, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods took on Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci in a vicious tag team contest. Kingston and Woods were a house on fire, continuing to pummel Kaiser and Vinci at ringside. The fight was so intense that both teams were counted out. The fight continued with the two teams bombarding each other at the tech area. The brawl did not stop until both teams went crashing through the tech area table!
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Ivy Nile def. Valhalla The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Undeterred by Valhalla’s bizarre energy, Ivy Nile muscled her way to an early advantage.

Ghost have hit the road for a summer US tour, bringing fellow Swedes Amon Amarth along for the ride. The “Re-Imperator” officially kicked off with a packed show Wednesday night (August 2nd) at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California.
Supporting their latest release, The Great Heathen Army, Amon Amarth got the ball rolling with a nine-song setlist that had the metalheads in the already full venue singing along. The band kicked off the set with “Raven’s Flight,” complete with a viking helmet drum riser, and two massive swordsman statues on either side of the stage. “Put Your Back into the Oar” was easily the crowd favorite of the set, as made obvious by the fans rowing along to the song. By the time the band wrapped up their brief set with “Twilight of the Thunder Guard,” the entire venue was primed for the headliners.

German filmmaker Jan-Ole Gerster made a major splash with his critically acclaimed and award-heavy 2012 debut feature “Oh Boy” (“A Coffee in Berlin”), starring Tom Schilling (“Never Look Away”). In Gerster’s latest film, “Lara,” Corinna Harfouch portrays a woman, who, on her 60th birthday, plans to attend the premiere of piano concerto performed by her estranged son, played by Schilling.
Gerster spoke to Variety about the origins of the project, why Harfouch’s involvement was essential, re-teaming with Schilling, and the significant role of music in the film.
While currently focused on the launch of his new film at home and abroad, Gerster is pursuing as a possible next project an adaptation of Christan Kracht’s best-selling novel “Imperium.” Inspired by a true story, the book follows passionate German nudist August Engelhardt as he travels to German New Guinea in 1902 to set up a coconut farm and commune on a remote South Seas island.

‘Lara’ is simultaneously premiering at the Munich and Karlovy Vary film festivals.
German director Jan-Ole Gerster’s debut film Oh Boy (which was released as A Coffee In Berlin in the Us ) was a surprise critical and audience hit in 2012. The absurdist comedy following an aimless man wandering the streets of Berlin was his thesis film at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (Dffb). It certainly marked out Gerster as a director to watch, premiering at Karlovy Vary and winning him the best debut film prize at the European Film Awards.
Seven years later and Gerster is back with his much-anticipated second feature Lara.

Kassius Ohno continued his quest to educate Nxt UK on “real British wrestling” by taking on Kenny Williams. Although Williams hit him with a back elbow off the top rope for the near-fall, Ohno proved more fortunate than The Lucky Yin when he caught his opponent in the ropes and delivered an earth-shattering elbow of his own to give him the three-count.

On the night of August 8, 1969, Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger and Steven Parent were brutally murdered by the Manson Family. It was one of the most shocking and horrifying crimes of the 20th century, a tragedy that still reverberates 50 years later.
And now… there’s a really bad slasher movie about it.
“The Haunting of Sharon Tate” is a ghoulish film that dramatizes these heinous slayings like a particularly tacky pulp thriller, using snippets of documentary footage to remind us that this story is true and deserves more respectful and nuanced treatment than writer-director Daniel Farrands (“The Amityville Murders”) seems able to provide. The lives of Tate, Sebring, Frykowski, Folger and Parent are reduced to stock horror archetypes, trapped in an underwritten and ultimately insulting thriller, with a conclusion that strives for profundity and fails in spectacular fashion.

There is always a little anxiety when one of your favorite books gets turned into a TV series, but 13 Reasons Why surpassed our expectations when it first premiered in March 2017. Even though there are quite a few tweaks from the original - especially now that it's going off-book with its second season - we couldn't have picked a better cast to play the memorable characters. While some of the actors are well-seasoned professionals, for others, the Netflix series is their big break.
While Devin Druid, who plays Tyler, has a pretty short résumé, at 20 years old he's already worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. In 2016, he starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe in Imperium, and later that year he had a guest spot on Netflix's House of Cards.

Composer Will Bates knew from the get-go that scoring “The Looming Tower” would be a daunting task. “It seemed kind of clear that of all the things that I’ve worked on, this was going to be the largest in terms of the scope of work and the level of detail that it really needed,” he reveals. Based on Lawrence Wright‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning nonfiction book, this Hulu limited series starring Jeff Daniels, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg and Bill Camp recounts the events leading up to the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Bates knew he had his work cut out for him because 9/11 is “something that, to some extent, all of us have lived through.”

Daniel Radcliffe‘s last few films have, to put it politely, flown under the radar. You’ve probably already forgotten about the survival tale “Jungle” and the white supremacy drama “Imperium” (and you probably want to forget about “Now You See Me 2“). Well, here comes another pic that will likely zip in and out of your brain.
“Beast Of Burden” co-stars Pablo Schreiber and Grace Gummer, and tells the story of a man who makes a deal to smuggle drugs to pay for his wife’s surgery.

Post-Potter life has been fairly kind to Daniel Radcliffe.
From battling The Woman in Black to infiltrating a neo-Nazi sect in Imperium, not to mention the wholly irreverent Swiss Army Man, the former Boy Who Lived has consistently strayed outside his comfort zone in order to approach weird, wonderful, and often compelling roles. And Jungle is yet another quirky feather in Radcliffe’s hat.
Coming by way of horror veteran Greg McLean, who is perhaps best known for directing Wolf Creek, Rogue, and this year’s Battle Royale clone, The Belko Experiment, Jungle is the story of 22-year-old Israeli backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg. Flanked by his two best friends, Yossi embarks on what he believes will be the adventure of a lifetime, but the truth is much, much more. What follows is an intense fight for survival, and today’s newly-released clip documents a scene on the Jungle rapids.

On the eve of Cannes Film Festival, Variety is reporting that Daniel Radcliffe, star of Imperium and the irreverent Swiss Army Man, has signed on to headline Guns Akimbo for Occupant Entertainment.
Pitched as an action comedy, Jason Lei Howden (Deathgasm) is behind the lens for this one, and we understand Occupant and Altitude Films are preparing to launch sales at Cannes next week – indicating that Radcliffe has climbed aboard in the nick of time.
The former Harry Potter actor will no doubt inject some star power into Guns Akimbo, which chronicles the harrowing story of Miles, an Average Joe who suddenly finds himself forced to fight a gladiator-like battle for a dark website that streams the violence to a rabid, worldwide audience. Evoking memories of Charlie Brooker’s stunning Black Mirror series, Miles then begins his quest to save his kidnapped ex-girlfriend, Nova, by any means necessary.

For our latest Q&A feature, we caught up with actor and filmmaker Roger Yawson, who discussed playing the role of Chad in the new movie Killer Campout (coming out this year from Fuzzy Monkey Films), working with Daniel Radcliffe on Imperium, and much more.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Roger! What attracted you to playing the role of Chad in your new movie, Killer Campout?
Roger Yawson: It’s my pleasure. The fact that Chad didn’t care about what he says, he’s rude, aggressive and all sorts of crazy…that’s what drew me to the character because I knew I could have fun with it, and I did! In real life I’m very chill and get along with everyone, and so I enjoy playing characters that are “outside the norm” for me.

"You're a wizard, Harry!"
It's hard to believe it's been 15 years since we first heard Robbie Coltrane deliver that line in character as Rubeus Hagrid in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the first of what would turn into eight total fantasy films based on the beloved "Harry Potter" book series by J.K. Rowling.
Nov. 16, 2001 marked the day the world was introduced to Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley. Potterheads quickly fell in love with their unbreakable bond on-screen, which was noticeably just as strong when the cameras weren't rolling.

★★☆☆☆ For its many faults, Imperium has noble intentions. Inspired by incendiary true-to-life events, its narrative charts an undercover FBI operation to expose a plague of nationwide racial hatred, white supremacist groups and an impending terrorist act on Washington DC. An attempted indictment of right wing intolerance and illegal activity, it's disappointing that this Daniel Radcliffe-led thriller never surprises, truly engages or gets under the skin. The essential irony of writer-director Daniel Ragussis' debut feature is that it features a socially awkward, justly terrified rookie transformed into a skinhead.

Sure they’re both super charming and they both have the singing-and-dancing thing down, but Radcliffe also makes appreciably weird choices in his film career, which gives him a leg up among cinephiles. And now he’s apparently trying to win over TV fans as well, by praising the internet’s two favorite shows: Stranger Things and Game Of Thrones.
Radcliffe stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show on Wednesday to promote the UK releases of both Swiss Army Man (a.k.a. his farting corpse movie) and Imperium (a.k.a. his white supremacist movie).

Imperium is based on the experiences of FBI agent Michael German, who infiltrated neo-Nazi white-power groups with a view to uncovering terrorist plots of the Timothy McVeigh variety. The movie has Daniel Radcliffe improbably cast as Nate Foster, a nerdy agent whose supposed knack for interpersonal skills – rather perfunctorily established in an interrogation scene – catches the eye of his maverick superior Angela Zamparo (Toni Collette) who recruits him as an undercover operative – diverting him away from what the bureau considers the more pressing jihadi threat. So Nate must shave his head and get the bovver-boots on to pass muster as a white-power extremist and find out about the dirty-bomb outrage Angela suspects they’ve planned. Unlike most movies on this subject, Imperium avoids predictable identity-crisis clichés...
