Dwayne Johnson recently wowed audiences with his heel turn at WrestleMania Xl, surprising everyone with his edgy tone and language leading up to the event. While Johnson is known to be a thorough professional, he goes by his own rules and does what he feels is right for him, whether it be WWE or films.
Dwayne Johnson’s recent heel turn was loved by WWE fans
The actor has a new Christmas-themed film titled Red One coming this November. The project billed as a franchise starter sees Johnson opposite Chris Evans. Johnson’s WWE heel turn seemed to transition in real life with a new report about his alleged laziness and unprofessionalism on the film, ballooning its budget.

The E. W. Scripps Company is refreshing the brand identity of its television network Ion to reflect its carriage of live sports and events, executives confirmed this week.
The change comes as Scripps has worked to incorporate more live events into Ion’s annual schedule, to include professional women’s basketball and soccer, and as the company offers a greater focus on its budding Scripps Sports brand that launched in late 2022.
The refreshed identity for Ion will extend to its two companion networks — broadcast outlet Ion Mystery and free, ad-supported streaming channel Ion Plus — with the total package taking center stage at Scripps’ Upfronts presentation this spring.
In an interview with the trade publication Cablefax, a Scripps executive said the new brand identity was a reflection of an uptick in interest from the advertising community “about the need to support women’s sports — that it’s good business for them,...

With the franchise surging past the $4 billion benchmark (as per the Numbers), thanks to its intriguing storylines, Cruise’s star power, and iconic action stunts among others, it will be quite interesting to witness what the next installment has to offer. And it seems like the actor can take inspiration from Red Bull’s daredevil stunt.
Red Bull’s A Door In The Sky Stunt!
While risky stunts are no longer a pipe dream in the entertainment world thanks to several iconic action stars and stuntpeople who are ready to face it all, Red Bull’s 2017 story was mind-blowing.

While he may be taking a little detour from making blockbusters in the cinema side of things, Dwayne Johnson has been cooking in the WWE as The Rock for a couple of months now, preparing for his battle in the ring at this year’s WrestleMania Xl.
And it seems like amidst his busy schedule with his in-ring appearances, the star has not forgotten his fans, one of whom has surprised him recently.

Recently, when a fan along with his daughter met up with The Rock, he asked him to sign his arm, which he would later get tattooed with his signature Brahma Bull logo. Keeping his word, he did what he said, and Johnson was so impressed that he has now gifted him with an all-expense paid trip to this year’s WrestleMania Xl in Philadelphia.

Britain’s contributions to the cinematic form have been vast and glorious. Aardman Animation. Alfred Hitchcock. Olivia Colman. 007. High up that list, too, is the British gangster movie – sure, America may often get the genre limelight with classics like Goodfellas, The Godfather trilogy, and Scarface, but nobody does dark, gritty, violent, and darkly humorous quite like the British. You certainly wouldn’t catch football-hardman-turned-movie-hardman Vinnie Jones rolling down the street with some poor geezer’s bonce trapped in his car window anywhere else, that’s for sure!
And so, with tracksuits on, geezer nicknames doled out, and knuckles dusted, Team Empire assembled a list of the very best British gangster movies ever made. From comedy classics, to bruising turn-of-the-century tales of brutality and crime, to contemporary subversions of the genre formula, we’ve covered all bases. These are films of culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog,...

NCIS star Michael Weatherly didn’t initially mind being No. 2 to the show’s lead Mark Harmon on and off screen. But after several years, Weatherly became a bit tired of his status on the show.
How Michael Weatherly felt about being Mark Harmon’s No. 2 Michael Weatherly | Toni Anne Barson/WireImage
Weatherly’s Tony Dinozzo was a reliable second hand for Leroy Gibbs on the hit series. This dynamic was present behind the scenes as well. Harmon received top billing over Weatherly and the rest of the cast. This wouldn’t last long, however, as Weatherly would say his goodbyes to NCIS after its 15th season. His desire to explore more creative opportunities played a huge part in his departure. But Weatherly also looked forward to stepping out the shadow of being a constant number two.
“You can’t be in that No. 2 slot [on Gibbs’ team] forever,” Weatherly once told TV Line.

Martin Scorsese is regarded as one of the finest filmmakers of the New Hollywood era, with five of his movies being included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. Scorsese’s movies are described as culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, which, back in the 1970s and 1980s, had an Italian-American influence and an upbringing in New York.
Filmmakers’s trademarks include extensive use of slow motion and freeze frames, graphic depictions of extreme violence, and liberal use of profanity. Scorsese, with his years of experience, garnered attention after he commented about how he does not consider Marvel movies to be cinema. But a screenwriter who has closely worked with the filmmaker on various projects disagrees with him.

Salman Khan’s Bull Produced By Karan Johar Is Shelved. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Salman Khan is finally out of Karan Johar’s upcoming Dharma film, and the project, which was reportedly titled Bull and was to be helmed by Shershaah director Vishnu Vardhan, now stands shelved. Many reasons have been attributed to this decision, the primary one being Bhai himself.
Reports suggest that Salman was very keen on the part. But here is where the problem starts. When he gets too involved with a character, he starts getting involved in the process of filmmaking as well.
Salman Khan and his inputs are not always welcomed by the team, and this is where the differences between them turn into ego battles. It seems like something happened with Bull as well. An exclusive report by Times Now suggests that the team was fed up with Salman Khan’s constant nagging about the film.

Actor Michael Weatherly made the transition from NCIS agent to psychologist in the hit series Bull. And although his character was based on a real person, Weatherly looked towards Gary Oldman for inspiration.

Weatherly’s Jason Bull couldn’t have been more different than his NCIS character. He played Jason Bull in the titular CBS series, a character loosely based on celebrity doctor Dr. Phil McGraw. Weatherly spoke to the Dr. Phil host personally, who he thought might’ve been underappreciated by certain audiences.
“People sometimes are very dismissive of Phil McGraw, and I think that’s a sort of narrow take on someone who has a talk show that you’ve watched and think you understand,” Weatherly said in a 2020 interview on Backstage. “I think Phil McGraw is a person worth having a conversation with.

With the recent reveal of the brand new spin-off series NCIS: Europe, Mark Harmon appears to not be over his longstanding feud with his former co-star.
NCIS is one of the longest-running shows in television history. With over 450 episodes, the military police procedural has spanned across three separate decades. With that much history packed into one TV show, there is bound to be an on-set beef or two. For NCIS, Mark Harmon’s feud with Michael Weatherly was so prominent, that it appears to still be ongoing.
According to a source familiar with the former co-stars’ working relationship, Harmon still has very little patience for Weatherly’s behavior. “As far as he’s [Harmon] concerned, Michael is a toxic pain in the butt,” the source told Closer. “He’s nothing but trouble.” Even after years apart, Harmon still “considers Michael a loose cannon.”

Raging Bull is one of the best films in actor Robert De Niro’s career. The 1980 sports-drama film is based on the book Raging Bull: My Story, based on the life of boxer Jake Lamotta. The film was a critical success and won De Niro several accolades. However, the film’s production wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.

NCIS star Michael Weatherly lasted on the long-running procedural for 13 seasons before leaving the show. Afterward, the actor would star in another network series Bull. However, Bull wasn’t the kind of tv show Weatherly thought he’d ever find himself in again.

Weatherly had a long run on NCIS before deciding to call it quits. There was no controversy involved in his departure. Rather, after so many years of playing Tony Dinozzo, he was ready to do something different. This would lead him towards a completely different series in CBS’ Bull. There, Weatherly played psychologist Jason Bull, who was the head of a consulting firm that would choose juries for high-profile trials.

Spoiler Alert! This story contains plot points from Monday’s episode of NCIS.
NCIS on Monday paid its final respects to star David McCallum, who died September 25 at the age of 90.
A fan favorite, McCallum was the last remaining original cast member on NCIS, in which he played an eccentric but highly efficient investigator Donald “Ducky” Mallard for two decades.
As heavily teased in the promos, the episode dubbed “The Stories We Leave Behind” opened with Jimmy Palmer arriving at Ducky’s house to find his mentor — dressed in his monogrammed jammies — dead in his bed, with his sweet corgi looking forlorn in the foyer.

Here are two words for those who believe Christopher Nolan can’t possibly lose the Best Director race at this year’s Academy Awards for “Oppenheimer”: Bob Fosse. And here are three more: Francis Ford Coppola.
When you think about how many consider Coppola’s 1972 masterpiece “The Godfather” to be perhaps the greatest American film ever made, it might shock them to learn that while the film won Oscars in ’73 for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for Marlon Brando, Coppola lost the director race to Fosse for “Cabaret.” Nothing against Fosse or his iconic musical, but his win over Coppola was shocking even if deserved. The lesson is that you simply never know what might happen on Oscar night. “Oppenheimer” could clean up, as is being widely predicted, and Nolan could still somehow miss out even though all indicators tell us it’s a done deal.

Jeff Ryan, Scott Cohen, Katerina Tannenbaum, Geneva Carr and Will Chase will star in “Mooch.” The crime comedy was also written and directed by Ryan, whose credits include “Mean Spirited” and “YouthMin.”
The filmmakers received an interim agreement to work on this independent production during last year’s SAG-Afrtra strike. It recently wrapped production in Lexington, Mass.
The movie focuses on a 30-year-old caddy named Shane (Ryan), who winds up with an unexpected gig as a personal private eye for a New Jersey nightclub owner. Even though he inches closer to realizing his ambitions, his personal life spirals out of control.
“When I was in high school, my friend’s dad told me I was going to fail in life because I was a ‘Mooch,’” said Ryan. “Making this film was a dream come true, and I am proud to put my dirty laundry on screen for all to enjoy.

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O’Neal, who came to prominence on TV’s “Peyton Place” and became a top star of the 1970s in films including “Love Story,” “What’s Up, Doc?,” “Paper Moon” and “Barry Lyndon,” died Friday, his son Patrick said on Instagram. He was 82.
O’Neal was diagnosed with chronic leukemia in 2001 and with prostate cancer in 2012.
“Ryan was a very generous man who has always been there to help his loved ones for decade upon decade,” his son wrote. “My dad was 82, and lived a kick ass life. I hope the first thing he brags about in Heaven is how he sparred 2 rounds with Joe Frazier in 1966, on national TV, with Muhammad Ali doing the commentary, and went toe to toe with Smokin’ Joe.”

Amblin TV has built its reputation over the past three decades as one of the industry’s busiest boutiques, producing scripted series across all major platforms that range from popcorn to prestige.
But in recent years, there’s been a new storytelling target for Amblin TV chiefs Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, who have headed Steven Spielberg’s TV production banner (previously DreamWorks TV) for more than 20 years. Amblin TV has moved aggressively into documentary feature and docu-series arena. It’s a development motivated by business necessity but also the desire to add more colors and canvases to the overall Amblin TV palette.
This year, the company fielded a surprise hit with a nature documentary for Netflix, “Life on Our Planet,” which topped the streamers’ domestic viewing charts for multiple weeks after its release in late October. Amblin also delivered the well-received feature “Good Night Oppy,” from director Ryan White...

Fittingly for a series in which everybody seems to be engaging in some form of Classic Hollywood cosplay, the Rosebud moment in BritBox’s Archie is delivered by an actor playing comedy icon Danny Kaye.
Affecting a stereotypical German therapist accent — accents on top of accents on top of accents is the Archie way — Kaye cautions young Dyan Cannon (Laura Aikman) that her relationship with the more seasoned Cary Grant (Jason Isaacs) is destined for complications with the warning, “Men who have difficult relationships with their mothers always carry it over to the women that they love.”
There’s no reason for Kaye to make such an observation if he hasn’t been watching the two previous hours of Jeff Pope’s four-episode production. But for the series’ actual audience, his analysis will come across as both obvious and superficial — a bit like Archie itself.
Ultimately, it’s a bit more complicated than that.

The CBS hit NCIS continues with season 21 in the near future, and fans can’t wait to see who returns. In the past, the show has unexpectedly killed off several characters. And one NCIS actor wasn’t happy about how his character was killed, according to creators.
‘NCIS’ creators said actor Muse Watson was ‘very unhappy’ about getting killed off in season 8
Since NCIS started in 2003, fans have seen several of their favorite characters leave. As much as we’d love to see most of the characters make it through every season, the actors have their reasons for calling it quits. And sometimes, it’s not up to the actors at all. Instead, the creators have their own plans that go against everything that actors hope for.

Tru Calling arrived on the small screen at a pivotal time for fans of genre fare in 2003.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer had just ended, so there was a desire from networks to get its most recognizable cast on new projects.
Eliza Dushku could have continued playing Buffy's onetime adversary in a planned spinoff, but instead of choosing the predictable, the actress opted to take a hard left turn to steer her career in a different direction.
The series starred Dushku as Tru Davies, a young woman who takes a job at a morgue when her internship falls through.
Yes, there's far more to the plot than that, with the unique spin that found the deceased waking up from the dead and asking her to help them.
That allowed Tru to relive the day to find out what happened to them and to try to change the events.

NCIS has been going strong for two decades. But there have been a few times when it seemed like the show might not be able to continue, particularly when fan-favorite characters such as Abby Sciuto and Leroy Jethro Gibbs left the show. In fact, the departure of another key actor felt like a death knell for the long-running series, an NCIS insider recently revealed.
