A beloved figure in the fitness world, Richard Simmons passed away on July 13, 2024, soon after celebrating his 76th birthday. He reportedly died of natural causes. In recent years, Simmons had largely withdrawn from public life, though he had opened up about his battle with skin cancer.

His path to becoming a prominent figure in fitness was marked by personal challenges, including childhood obesity, but he ultimately gained nationwide acclaim for his energetic fitness routines. Simmons leaves behind a legacy of inspiration and significant contributions to health and wellness. His journey not only led to financial success but also had a profound impact on popularizing fitness.

Ethan Hawke’s directorial film, Wildcat takes a close look at renowned Southern Gothic writer Flannery O’Connor’s life. The film consciously does not delve into the controversies revolving around the author, and instead focuses on the reappearing subject matter in her work. For those not familiar with her writing (like me), “Wildcat” is a decent introduction to generate interest amongst viewers. The explainer is solely based on the film and not on Flannery O’Connor’s literary work.
Born in Savannah, Georgia, O’Connor (played by Maya Hawke) firmly believed that she was an instrument of God and that writing was not just her way of expressing herself but also serving the Almighty. Be it her publisher or her family, O’Connor was always reminded that her work was unusual and might not appeal to a larger audience, but that never deterred Flannery’s confidence. The vivid, blunt descriptions...

Jack Quaid is widely recognized for his portrayal of Hugh “Hughie” Campbell in The Boys, as well as for his notable voice roles such as Brad Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Clark Kent / Superman in My Adventures with Superman, and Earth-65 Peter Parker / Lizard in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Despite his established career, Quaid is also the son of renowned actors Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. This familial connection has led some fans to label him a “nepo baby,” short for “nepotism baby,” which refers to individuals who achieve success in careers similar to those of their already prominent parents.
Recently, Maya Hawke, daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, acknowledged how her parents assisted her in securing her initial roles. Similarly, in a recent discussion, Jack Quaid expressed his acceptance of the “nepo baby” label but emphasized that he believes it has no bearing on his talent.

Gus Fring's war with Walter White may have blown up in his face, but Giancarlo Esposito walked away from "Breaking Bad" with a revitalized career. He's one of Hollywood's greatest working heavies, with his roles as Moff Gideon on "The Mandalorian" and Stan Edgar on "The Boys" to prove it.
As a result, he's been fancast as countless Marvel characters -- and those wishes finally came true. The recently released trailer for "Captain America: Brave New World" dropped a look at Esposito's character, and he's a ruthless, gun-toting mercenary/terrorist clad in sunglasses and a leather trench coat.
Much of the trailer includes our new Captain America, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), talking with President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford). They talk about how much supervision the U.S. government can have over Captain America's work.

The halls of The Tortured Poets Department are quieter than usual as Taylor Swift and Post Malone strip back their collaborative single “Fortnight” for an acoustic version.
The updated recording replaces the thudding percussion of the original with hollow piano melodies and the plucks of an acoustic guitar. It also blends Swift and Malone’s haunted vocals more thoroughly, converging as they sing: “I love you, it’s ruining my life.”

Watching Richard Linklater's 1995 romantic drama "Before Sunrise," it's not hard to grasp why Frenchwoman Céline (Julie Delpy) is taken with the American Jesse (Ethan Hawke), a fellow 20-something traveler she encounters on a train ride back to Paris after visiting her grandmother. With flawless, floppy hair and a sensitive, intellectual manner, he's an alluring mystery waiting to be investigated at a time in her life when she's far more inclined to imagine how chatting up an amicable stranger on a train might lead to something remarkable (as opposed to how it could go profoundly wrong).
Jesse immediately sparks to her too, and they soon find themselves drawn to one another and engrossed in their ensuing conversation. Throwing caution to the wind as only impetuous, gorgeous young people who don't realize just how carefree they really are can, they agree to hit the pause button on their respective lives and...

Almost nothing’s more important than a first impression. It’s a chance to put your best foot forward and leave a mark that folks will remember. But what if you don’t want them to remember your best foot? What if the impression intended to be left is of five toes digging into their backsides—and crawling under the skin?
It’s a funny idea, yet for more than a hundred years filmmakers have reached for exactly such visceral reactions to character introductions and entrances. They have striven to create sequences, movie moments, and performances that promise or forewarn of terrible sights to come, and characters who will never be forgotten. But not all villain intros are created equal, and in this list we humbly attempt to figure out some of the most infamous and revered.

Francine Maisler, longtime collaborator with Aaron Sorkin and Steven Soderbergh and casting director for “The Revenant,” “The Big Short,” “Little Women,” “Dune” and “The Bikeriders,” says she’s always been obsessed with performance.
“I’m always looking and seeing and my eye is taken with things,” she says.
“I love the theater,” she told an audience at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival this week, recalling being “mesmerized” by actors onstage long before she had the inkling to follow her career path.
Sorkin has said, “Francine has an eye for talent like no one I’ve ever met,” to which Maisler jokes, “We fight all the time.”

10 Possession-Based Horror Films to watch if you liked Russell Crowe’s The Exorcism ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
In Exorcism, Anthony’s daughter, Lee Miller (Ryan Simpkins), suspects that her father has either gotten back to his past addictions or there’s some sinister cause behind his erratic behavior. Anthony, who was roped in for a film on exorcism, gets flashbacks of the time when he was molested.
As the movie progresses, strange things start to happen on Anthony’s film sets, with him even banging his head on a table and contorting his body. This makes Lee consult a Catholic priest. Things take a more disastrous turn when Father Conor tries to perform an exorcism on the movie sets.

Denzel Washington’s legendary career began with his feature film role in Carbon Copy in 1981. However, his breakout role came in six seasons of the medical drama series, St. Elsewhere. He got some interesting roles following his series role. He once revealed that he rejected a comedy film, which could’ve altered the course of his career.

Even Hollywood’s biggest stars may sometimes need to get away from Tinseltown and all that talk about box office declines, streaming challenges, and the threats of TikTok and generative AI.
No surprise then that the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Kviff) has found passionate fans among the A-list with its offering of summer refreshment, like a cocktail of positivity away from all the negativity.
In fact, Kviff has over the years often turned out not to only be a film fest, but also a big love fest for famous faces.
The late Oscar-winning Czech directing legend Milos Forman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Amadeus, The People vs. Larry Flynt) had made it his mission to promote Kviff in Hollywood after its reboot in 1994 following the November 1989 Velvet Revolution that ended Communist rule in what was then Czechoslovakia country and the Czech Republic and Slovakia becoming independent states as...

This post contains major spoilers for "Predestination."
In Michael and Peter Spierig's "Predestination," every temporal thread is connected. As with most time travel narratives that invite a dizzying bootstrap paradox, the 2014 sci-fi thriller pushes the limits of what an infinite temporal loop can achieve, where persons or events end up having no observable origin. Linear understanding of cause and effect has no meaning here; the time-space paradoxes help achieve the impossible, including the existence of the same person within the same timeline (where the fluid nature of identity further complicates causal reasoning). Although "Predestination" can be somewhat heady to absorb during one's first watch, the key to unraveling its most confusing moments is the improbable yet essential truth revealed by the end of the film: every major character in the story is a different iteration of the same person.

Although "Predestination" can be somewhat heady to absorb during one's first watch, the key to unraveling its most confusing moments is the improbable yet essential truth revealed by the end of the film: every major character in the story is a different iteration of the same person.

Denzel Washington has made a name for himself as one of the most talented and respected actors in Hollywood. Having several Oscar nominations and wins under his name, he has certainly become an icon and an inspiration for many newcomers in the industry. While he has been a part of several critically acclaimed works, one of his most notable has to be Training Day, alongside Ethan Hawke.

His performance as Alonzo Harris has been regarded as one of his most memorable. The crime-thriller also turned many heads, winning several Academy Awards. Knowing just how significant the movie was, it is interesting to know that Harris’ character was almost very different.

Mubi has unveiled next month’s streaming lineup, including Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s five-part series Penance, Kit Zauhar’s new release This Closeness along with her debut feature Actual People, a pair of films by Paul Schrader, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, Luke Lorentzen’s stellar documentary A Still Small Voice, Alex Ross Perry’s Queen of Earth, and more.
In his review of This Closeness earlier this month, Ethan Vestby said, “The film is made with a great deal of formal control, and even though the low stakes and small scale will have it be compared to mumblecore films, this is far sleeker than the average Joe Swanberg joint of yesteryear: long takes, a fixed camera, strategic employment of close-ups, and a rich soundscape (the audio emanating from outside the window of traffic and birdsong is instantly identifiable to anyone living in a city).”

From the high school nostalgia of Dazed and Confused to the ongoing romantic saga in his projects with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, Linklater revels in variety. Hit Man, his latest venture, adds a fresh twist to the often tired hitman trope.

Glen Powell is already making an impact in Hollywood with his impeccable projects that well showcased his acting prowess. However, the actor is yet far from achieving one record that Ethan Hawke and Hitman director Richard Linklater will attain with the upcoming project that they’re set to collaborate on.

It is quite a great feat as the actor-director duo have already collaborated on numerous projects that even actor-director duo, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese have yet to attain.

Richard Linklater is getting ready to turn his attention from one Hit Man to another of an altogether different kind with Blue Moon, a new biopic profiling the dying days of Lorenz Hart, one half of legendary mid-century American songwriting duo Rodgers & Hart. And the Boyhood filmmaker has brought together a hell of a cast for this new project. As reported by Deadline, Linklater's movie — which has landed worldwide distribution via Sony — is set to star Ethan Hawke in his ninth collaboration with his Before trilogy director, as well as Margaret Qualley (Kinds Of Kindness), Andrew Scott (Ripley), and Bobby Cannavale (Blonde)

Filmmaker Richard Linklater is on a tear. Earlier this month, he released his “Hit Man” film on Netflix, and just a few weeks ago, according to recent interviews, he finished shooting his French New Wave movie, “Nouvelle Vague,” which should be ready for some time in 2025, but there’s more: a new project called, “Blue Moon” which will reunite him with longtime collaborator Ethan Hawke.

After making his last two movies for Netflix, Richard Linklater is heading back to movie theaters for his next project, and he’s also reuniting with one of his longtime collaborators for the first time in a decade: Ethan Hawke.
Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the rights to what will be Linklater’s next film, “Blue Moon,” the distributor announced Tuesday, June 18. Joining the project are Hawke, now working with Linklater for the ninth time, as well as Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale, and “Ripley” star Andrew Scott.
Principal photography on “Blue Moon” begins in Dublin, Ireland this summer with financing from Sony Pictures Classics and Renovo Media Group.

When, just last month, I talked to Richard Linklater about this prolific moment in his career, I had zero notion he’d been well into preparing a new-new film––following Hit Man, Hometown Prison, and the yet-to-premiere Nouvelle Vague, which says nothing of a Merrily We Roll Along movie coming in 15-17 years. Per Deadline, cameras roll this summer on Blue Moon, a feature scripted by Me and Orson Welles author Robert Kaplow that’ll reunite him with Ethan Hawke and Bobby Cannavale, while Margaret Qualley and Andrew Scott co-star.
Linklater’s next follows Lorenz Hart, a longterm collaborator of Richard Rodgers, and is “set primarily in Sardi’s Restaurant on March 31, 1943, the opening night of Oklahoma!, which marked Rodgers’s first collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II as Hart’s replacement.” Hardly a move to capitalize on the commercial hit of his latest: Linklater says he, Hawke, and Kaplow “have...

Exclusive: Sony Pictures Classics has acquired worldwide rights to Blue Moon, the new film from Academy Award nominee Richard Linklater (Hit Man), on which we were first to report, and which will be his next effort after all, with production commencing in Dublin, Ireland this summer.
Ethan Hawke is set to star, in his ninth collaboration with Linklater. Others aboard for roles include Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Bobby Cannavale (Ezra) and Andrew Scott (Ripley).
According to Linklater, who’d previously hinted at a long-time passion project with Hawke, “Robert, Ethan, and I have been developing this story for over a decade and are excited and grateful that the time has come to bring this to life.”
Written by Robert Kaplow, author of the novel Me and Orson Welles which inspired the Linklater film of the same name, Blue Moon profiles the final days of Lorenz Hart, part of the hit songwriting team Rodgers & Hart.

Challengers
Smart, seductive and bristling with sexual tension, this is Luca Guadagnino’s most purely pleasurable film to date. As dynamic as the many tennis matches it depicts, the love-triangle drama pits the rivalry on the court of two former BFFs against their competing desire for a self-possessed woman whose hunger to win is not diminished by an injury that cuts short her own career. It helps that the chemistry of stars Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist is off the charts. — David Rooney
La Chimera
Italian filmmaker Alice Rohrwacher’s invigoratingly strange and lyrical film revolves around a fascinating pocket community: the tombaroli, illegal grave-robbers who dig up Etruscan relics and make their money selling those antiquities to fences, who in turn sell them to museums and collectors for vastly larger sums. Josh O’Connor is superb in the central role of a haunted Englishman whom the tombaroli regard as a kind of mystic,...

Most of the time, Ethan Hawke is an indicator of quality -- or, if not that, then an ambition to make something meaningful. He's always taken the craft of acting seriously (something that spurred a good-natured war of attrition between him and Robin Williams while filming "Dead Poets Society"), but he's not haughty about it. He played a vampiric hematologist for The Spierig Brothers in 2009's "Daybreakers" and even joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his role as an Ammit-worshipping weirdo who pours glass shards in his shoes for "Moon Knight." Also, let's not forget that time he decked himself out in garish accessories to play the incredibly-named Jolly the Pimp in Luc Besson's eye-popping space opera "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" (a reminder that bad people can make spectacular art).
Alas, 2013's "Getaway" is the rare occasion where it's hard to imagine Hawke having signed...

The series of murder mysteries that began with the 2019 film Knives Out and continued with the 2022 film Glass Onion is set to keep on going with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which has writer/director Rian Johnson back at the helm. Johnson and his collaborators are being very secretive about this project right now, but there’s a lot of hype for it – so we figured this would be a good time to start assembling a list of Everything We Know About Wake Up Dead Man. Here we go:
Title
Johnson got the title Knives Out from a Radiohead song. When it came time to make the sequel Glass Onion, he got the title from a song by The Beatles. So it’s only fitting that the third film in the franchise have a song-inspired title as well. But while Radiohead and The Beatles were from England,...

“La Habitación de al Lado” es la nueva película de Pedro Almodóvar, que protagonizan Tilda Swinton (“El Asesino”) y Julianne Moore (“Secretos de un Escándalo”) junto a John Turturro (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) . El director firma su primer largometraje rodado íntegramente en inglés tras los cortometrajes “The Human Voice”, también protagonizado por Tilda Swinton, y “Strange Way of Life”, protagonizado por Ethan Hawke y Pedro Pascal, que tuvieron sus estrenos mundiales en los Festivales de Venecia y Cannes, respectivamente.
La historia de “La habitación de al Lado” es la de una madre muy imperfecta y una hija rencorosa separadas por un gran malentendido. En medio, otra mujer, Ingrid (Julianne Moore), amiga de la madre, es depositaria del dolor y la amargura de ambas.

The Duplasses are starting miniature with their first full-fledged family affair on all sides of the camera: the short film “Oh, Christmas Tree,” a bittersweet 10-minute ode to a father and daughter reliving their favorite holiday traditions.
It’s written by Mark Duplass, directed by his wife Katie Aselton (“Mack and Rita“), and stars their 16-year-old daughter Ora opposite her dad in roles that aren’t exactly autobiographical despite the onscreen, lived-in rapport. Here, the mother is dead, and the daughter, Claire, is now the one doing the parenting as her father grapples with mental health struggles. The short, currently seeking buyers out of Tribeca Festival, packs a lot into its brief running time, and for this trio, it also marks Ora’s entry into filmmaking as she readies to follow in her parents’ footsteps.

Moon Knight star Ethan Hawke and Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey starred in James DeMonaco’s 2013 dystopian horror film The Purge, a major box-office success despite its mixed reviews. The insane plot of the film was derived from a real-life event that the director himself has encountered.

Of course, DeMonaco did not participate in any purging activities, but the idea came from his wife which he thought was a brilliant concept that must be put on the big screen.
How The Purge Director Came Up With The Movie’s Insane Concept
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, filmmaker James DeMonaco revealed how he got the central idea for The Purge. The film’s premise is quite simple: once a year, people are allowed to legally commit all crimes from dusk to dawn without getting punished.

In James DeMonaco's 2013 dystopian horror movie "The Purge," Ethan Hawke plays a wealthy seller of high-tech home security systems. He lives in a bourgeois neighborhood and all his rich neighbors have outfitted their homes with Hawke's wares. They plan on employing their security soon, as tonight is Purge Night. In the future of "The Purge," one night a year is designated to be law-free. American citizens are legally permitted to commit whatever wanton acts of assault, destruction, and murder they want, from sundown to sunrise. Having purged their hostility, the idea is that they'll go back to being upstanding citizens in the morning.
The premise is tantalizing, although the 2013 original takes place mostly inside the Hawke character's home, turning a fun idea into a pretty rote home invasion thriller. The film was made for a scant $3 million but would earn over $91 million, making it a runaway hit. To date,...
