This post contains mild spoilers for "Blood Creek."

Vampire horror movies are a dime-a-dozen, often falling into the same genre trappings or retreading familiar storylines. This is not always a bad thing, though, as long as there's fun to be had: films like "Blade" or "Van Helsing" entertain us by expertly balancing thrilling action with dramatic tension while knowing it is best not to indulge in self-seriousness. Well, what about an odd little vampire tale that is both campy and self-serious, as well as equal parts ridiculous and entertaining? Welcome to Joel Schumacher's unforgettable "Blood Creek," where a Nazi vampire scholar named Richard Wirth (a young Michael Fassbender) wreaks havoc after being freed from captivity by two brothers who really should have known better. Henry Cavill and Dominic Purcell play Evan and Victor Marshall, respectively, and it is up to this duo to try and stop this near-immortal Nazi...

Have you ever found yourself entranced by the magnetism of Henry Cavill, whose illustrious career has led us on an adventure through dramas with titles like Tristan and Isolde, I Capture the Castle, and the seductive political maze of The Tudors? Or perhaps you’ve soared alongside him as he embraced the mantle of a modern myth in blockbuster superhero epics like Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

But regardless of where you usually satisfy your Henry Cavill cravings, you have undoubtedly noticed that the man is extremely attractive. Have you ever found yourself lost in the sculpted features of the Man of Steel star, questioning if anyone else is equally spellbound by his grace?

Guy Ritchie is back with The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Based on what is allegedly the first “Black Ops” mission it’s a variation on The Dirty Dozen and all the knock-offs that followed, right up to and including Inglourious Basterds.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare opens with a boat having just been boarded by several members of the German Navy. As they pour gasoline over the deck, they tell its occupants they have the choice of staying on board and burning to death, or jumping overboard and drowning. For some reason, however, they don’t seem very worried.

From there we jump back 25 days, to Churchill watching newsreel footage about Hitler’s U-boats keeping American troops from entering the war.

I am of that age that still thinks the 80s was 30 years ago and that the 90s just happened. Strange as that logic is, there’s nothing like movie anniversaries to pull me back into reality. Last episode we looked at In the Mouth of Madness and its impact now going strong 30 years later. That flick though, like most of John Carpenter’s catalogue, was something that was already out when I started my movie journey. I had already seen it on VHS and on TV from time to time which puts it in another category altogether. Move ahead just 5 short years to 1999, one of the greatest years in cinema history, and we start getting that 25 years of existence that puts that nice existential crisis right into my gut. Today we are going to look at one of those movies that probably isn’t considered a traditional horror movie but is absolutely horrific in nature.

Exclusive: Prison Break and Legends Of Tomorrow star Dominic Purcell is replacing the late Ray Stevenson in Paramount and Republic Pictures’ movie Cassino In Ischia, which is now back underway in Italy.

Production came to an abrupt halt in late May after lead actor Stevenson suffered sudden illness and was rushed to hospital where he passed away aged 58.

Purcell takes on the role of Nic Cassino, a former action star who is knocked off his perch by the next generation of action heroes. In an attempt to revive his career, he travels to Italy to make the first ever “Neo-Realist” action film with a down on his luck Italian director. When unresolved family struggles resurface, he is forced to reconcile all he left behind on his road to fame.

Pic is being produced by Martin Scorsese collaborator Barbara DeFina, whose credits with the filmmaker include Silence, Casino, Cape Fear, The Color Of Money,...

Jack Kesy (12 Strong) has landed the lead role in Millennium Media’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man. Mike Mignola, creator of the Hellboy comics, wrote the screenplay with Chris Golden, and Brian Taylor (Crank) is on board to direct.

“Jack Kesy is a dynamic actor who has the ability to morph into his roles. His talent and stature are perfect for this younger Hellboy. I was very impressed with him while working together on The Outpost,” stated Co-President of Millennium Media, Jonathan Yunger.

In addition to 12 Strong and The Outpost, Kesy’s credits include Dark Web: Cicadia 3301, Without Remorse, Mosquito State, Deadpool 2, Baywatch, and Eli Roth’s Death Wish. He recently wrapped up work on Murder at Hollow Creek and Sheroes.

Ron Perlman took on the character in 2004’s Hellboy and 2008’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, both directed by Guillermo del Toro.

Rachel Weisz has two exciting new roles, and her new series looks like a winner.

Prime Video released the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated psychological thriller Dead Ringers.

The series is a modern take on David Cronenberg's 1988 thriller starring Jeremy Irons, Dead Ringers will feature Rachel Weisz playing the double-lead roles of Elliot and Beverly Mantle.

The streaming service describes them as "twins who share everything."

"Drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes—including pushing the boundaries of medical ethics—in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women's health care to the forefront," the logline adds.

All six episodes premiere on April 21 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Weisz also serves as an executive producer for the limited series, which is created, written, and executive produced by Emmy-nominated writer and playwright Alice Birch.

The series' ensemble cast includes Britne Oldford as Genevieve,...

“Oh, it’s wonderful to be here in the town of East Palestine, not a great name,” said the James Austin Johnson-portrayed Donald Trump tonight, kicking off Saturday Night Live. “I’m here and I brought hats, cameras and hats,” he added after taking a swipe at Joe Biden for visiting the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week and had a visit from his own legal troubles.

Schitt’s Creek premiered in Canada in 2015. After it began streaming on Netflix, the series blew up — even earning Emmys for its last season. Speaking of that final outing, the show’s finale found itself with some detractors. While fans ate it up, star Annie Murphy was so unhappy when she read the last script she threatened to quit before filming.

The ‘Schitt’s Creek’ finale brought happy endings for its characters

Fans of Schitt’s Creek were devastated to learn the sixth season would be the last one. But, ultimately, the show and the cast had a phenomenal run. The series finale, appropriately titled “Happy Ending,” saw the Rose family completing their journeys and leaving the titular town behind.

The emotional episode revolved around David (Dan Levy) and Patrick’s (Noah Reid) wedding. Despite terrible weather and Alexis (Murphy) wearing a bride’s gown to her brother’s wedding, the sentimental ceremony...

Dawson’s Creek recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, and fans of The WB series simply couldn’t believe it. Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, and James Van Der Beek were a few of the talented actors cast to play the doe-eyed teens in Dawson’s Creek.

Appearing alongside them and playing a bit of a more controversial character was Michelle Williams. Well over two decades later, Williams admits that she may have taken Dawson’s Creek “a little too seriously.”

[Editor’s note: The following story contains spoilers for “Bones and All.”]

When David Kajganich was first presented with Camille DeAngelis’ novel “Bones and All,” the screenwriter didn’t initially realize the cannibal romance was intended for YA readers. Instead, the “Blood Creek” and “A Bigger Splash” writer was taken with the book’s fairytale quality, the wonderful romance at its heart, and its ability to interrogate “other”-ness in an entirely new way.

It was also, of course, fairly juicy — literally and figuratively — and ripe for the screenwriter to apply his own ideas. It helped that Kajganich’s frequent collaborator, director Luca Guadagnino, came on board to direct the film, bringing along stars Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet to play the love-crossed young cannibals at its center. After debuting at Venice, earning accolades on the festival circuit, and enjoying a very tasty opening weekend in limited release, “Bones and All” arrives in wide release this week.

The award winner and founder and CEO of Equation Unlimited was one of the key figures behind the development and launch of the hit Canadian comedy starring Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dan Levy and Annie Murphy.

Feigin is also credited with the financing model for the show, which was considered non-traditional for its time, relying heavily on foreign licensing.

With the show’s final season, Feigin received an Emmy when “Schitt’s Creek” won Outstanding Comedy Series.

Marin Hinkle has had audiences in stitches throughout the run of Amazon Prime’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” thanks to her buttoned-up portrayal of Rose Weissman. The family matriarch is known for keeping a proper household, so when her daughter Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) ruffles her feathers, it creates irresistible comedy. We’ve seen Rose knocked off of her axis before, but “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” Season 4 gives Marin Hinkle her biggest opportunity yet to push the character into wildly unexpected places. Emmys voters, are you watching?

Some of the biggest names in film, television and the Broadway stage won’t be making the coveted pilgrimage to Radio City Music Hall this June when the 75th annual Tony Awards are handed out, as such high-profile performers as Daniel Craig, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Katrina Lenk, Beanie Feldstein, Jane Lynch and Patrick J. Adams were not among the nominations announced Monday morning.

And at least as surprising as the snubs was the strong showing of Paradise Square, a musical that received fairly mixed reviews and has been struggling at the box office since opening April 3. The musical, a comeback for producer Garth H. Drabinsky, scored 10 nominations (tying with Mj and second only to A Strange Loop). Among Paradise Square‘s are Best Musical, Joaquina Kalukango’s nom for Best Lead Actress/Musical, and A.J. Shively’s nom for Featured Actor/Musical.

Before you start acting like a disgruntled pelican over Schitt's Creek's upcoming departure from Netflix, we have good news for you. The beloved sitcom is due to leave Netflix later this year, after which it will begin streaming on Hulu. All six seasons of the series, which originally aired on Paramount's Pop TV, will be available to view starting Oct. 3, so mark your calendars! Schitt's Creek is the latest comedy series to join Hulu's catalogue, which includes Abbott Elementary, Dave and original series like Only Murders in the Building and How I Met Your Father.

Ok, Ausiello, you were right. Heartstopper was amazing. Beyond.

When my boss told me to watch Netflix’s teenage romance, insisting that I’d like it, I said what I usually do when he makes suggestions — “Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, you betcha” — with every intention of ignoring him. But this week, I gave it a shot. Dunno what possessed me, really. Too much wine? The last thing I wanted to do was sit through a show that Michael had described as “really sweet.” Life, it seemed to me, had become too ugly, too cold and relentless and f—king insane. I didn...

Tracy Letts’ The Minutes would be one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway this season even if recent real-life events hadn’t made it seem as uncanny as it is funny and, ultimately, disarming. The Minutes – there are a brisk 90 of them in all – begins as one thing and ends up quite another, and every step along the way is so finely rendered that we’re too busy savoring the moment to see what’s waiting just ahead.

Featuring an impeccable cast headed by Noah Reid – the Schitt’s Creek star makes a wonderful Broadway debut here – The Minutes reunites playwright and cast member Letts with his August: Osage County director Anna D. Shapiro, and together they find once again the eccentric, perfect balance of laugh-out-loud humor, dark undercurrents and emotional violence that made the prize-winning August unforgettable.

If the new play, opening tonight at Broadway’s Studio 54, doesn’t have the widely relatable,...

Over a steady period of 55 years, Grammy, Emmy, and honorary Oscar winner Steve Martin has proven himself a consummate entertainer with countless TV and film credits. Even so, it took 28 years for him to earn recognition from his peers in the Screen Actors Guild. Now the 76-year-old is a SAG Awards contender at last with individual and ensemble nominations for the comedy series “Only Murders in the Building,” making him the oldest first-time nominee across all three male solo TV categories.

In the comedy actor race, Martin faces his costar, Martin Short, as well as Michael Douglas (“The Kominsky Method”) and “Ted Lasso” pair Brett Goldstein and Jason Sudeikis. Goldstein and Sudeikis both won Emmys for their roles last September, and the latter is this SAG category’s reigning champ; both also vied for the comedy cast prize last year against the eventual winners from “Schitt’s Creek.” Short is a...

Cross Creek fully financing.

Jean-Claude Van Damme will star in Cross Creek’s EFM sales title What’s My Name? which Wild Bunch International and CAA Media Finance have introduced to market buyers.

The film is described as the most ambitious and personal film from martial arts screen legend Van Damme, whose credits include Double Impact, Kickboxer and Universal Soldier, and his “final and epic farewell to fighting”.

Jeremy Zag directs and Tyler Thompson will produce for Cross Creek alongside Zag and Van Damme. Cross Creek is fully financing the film, in which the “Muscles from Brussels” plays himself.

The Broadway production of Tracy Letts’ The Minutes is delaying its performance dates by two weeks this spring. The play, starring Schitt’s Creek actor Noah Reid, Letts, Blair Brown, Jessie Mueller and others, will now begin previews at Studio 54 on April 2, with opening night set for April 17.

The previous dates were about two weeks earlier.

Though the production has not indicated a reason for the delay, other shows have initiated similar spring delays due to the recent Omicron surge and its impact on rehearsal schedules, among other things.

The Minutes had already begun previews in spring 2020 when the Covid pandemic shutdown hit. At the time, the play was staged at the Cort Theatre. A planned renovation prompted the production’s move to the Studio 54 venue.

Also during the production’s hiatus, original star Armie Hammer withdrew amidst sexual misconduct allegations. Reid was later cast in the role.

On the heels of Cartoon Network’s “Craig of the Creek” Season 4 premiere on Monday, WarnerMedia Kids & Family has already renewed the animated show for a fifth season and ordered prequel film “Craig of the Creek: The Movie” and preschool spinoff series “Jessica’s Big Little World” to expand the program into a franchise.

All three Cartoon Network Studios-produced projects will be available on both cable channel Cartoon Network and streaming service HBO Max, with rollout plans for where the titles launch first to be announced at a later date.

Cartoon Network and HBO Max will get even more Craig of The Creek goodness.

The Emmy-nominated animated series from Matt Burnett and Ben Levin has been renewed for a fifth season at Cartoon Network and HBO Max. Craig of The Creek follows the precocious Craig and his best friends Kelsey and J.P., as they transform everyday afternoons into extraordinary adventures through imaginative play at the neighborhood creek. Season five, which is set to premiere early next year, delves deeper into the endless world of the Creek as Craig embarks on more journeys with friends new and old, finding adventure, mystery and fun around every bend.

Beyond a season 5 renewal, Craig of The Creek will further expand with a preschool spinoff series centered on Craig’s sister Jessica on Cartoonito and an original animated movie.

Set to debut in 2023, Jessica’s Big Little World centers on the Creek’s favorite resilient little sister,...

From "Ew, David" to "Ouch, David" real quick.  Over the course of the show's five year run, Schitt's Creek fans welcomed the Rose family into their living rooms and grew to absolutely adore them, flaws and all.

In an interview with GQ for their "Heroes Issue," Levy opened up about the stress that came along with the show. "The anxiety in my neck was so bad I couldn't move it." recalled Levy.

This is not Zeb Wells’ first time in a comic book writers’ room. It’s not even his first time breaking Spider-Man stories as part of a team. The big difference with this one is that hopefully no children get eaten on his watch.

“I deserve that,” the new Amazing Spider-Man lead writer chuckles when we compare this new team project to “Shed,” the critically acclaimed, impossibly bleak story he wrote back when Peter Parker was in the middle of his “Brand New Day” era that saw the Lizard return and promptly eat his son.

There’s a lot different this time with the new status quo unrolling in “Beyond,” starting with Spidey himself. The premise of the new run of Amazing Spider-Man has Ben Reilly becoming Spider-Man after the copyright for the character is swiped from under Peter by the Beyond Corporation.

And then there’s the creative team surrounding Wells.

An Emmys ceremony like no other — held in a tent during a pandemic — was sure to deliver surprising moments, and the 2021 edition of TV’s biggest night did not disappoint in that regard.

73rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: Deadline’s Full Coverage

The show opened with sort of feel-good In Memoriam singalong, with host Cedric the Entertainer launching into a revamped version of the recently-passed Biz Markie‘s “Just a Friend.” LL Cool J picked up the tune before handing it off to Rita Wilson, Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross and many others.

Hannah Waddingham kept the energy level high when she won for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Ted Lasso. Despite the fact that presenter Seth Rogen got her name wrong, the actress screamed with joy as she took the stage, thanking co-stars Jason Sudeikis and Juno Temple. “I’m so proud to even be in your gaggle,...

The first in-person Emmys Awards show since the dawn of the pandemic was almost certainly going to be a celebration no matter the quality of the show. Thankfully, CBS and the show’s producers put together an event that brought a truly welcome sense of awards ceremony normalcy — warts and all — that has been conspicuously missing in recent years.

There were laughs. There were moments of genuine emotion. And there were those bits that left you wondering what audience the writers were targeting.

A year after winning four Primetime Emmys for the hit comedy series Schitt’s Creek, Dan Levy has closed a first look feature deal and an overall one in scripted content with Netflix, under which he’ll write and produce.

Levy’s work in film will begin promptly with an original untitled romantic comedy which he’ll direct, write, produce and star in. Sister’s Stacey Snider and Kate Fenske will also produce alongside Levy. The multi-hyphenate’s work in series will start in July 2022 when his current three-year overall deal with ABC Signature ends.

“Netflix offered Schitt’s Creek a second home at just the right time and opened the doors to a whole new audience for us,” said Levy, “Watching the show thrive there has only enhanced my excitement about continuing to tell specific, meaningful stories with them in both tv and feature film. A full circle moment.”

Horrifying news for fans of Jann Arden’s “Run Like Mad” today, as Netflix reports that the iconic Dawson’s Creek theme tune has now been usurped by—well, by a more iconic Dawson’s Creek theme tune, admittedly.

It’s a bad day for everyone who only discovered “Dawson’s Creek” in recent years and had gotten married to the idea that Jann Arden’s “Run Like Mad” was the theme song for the 1998-2003 teen television series. For all of the show’s other fans, apart from that tiny, tiny sliver, it’s a good day, as Paula Cole has been restored to the opening credits and the world set aright.

Announced Netflix in a Friday morning tweet (speaking in the first person as a company): “Dawson’s Creek fans, I’m thrilled to announce that — at long last — you will hear Paula Cole’s iconic song ‘I Don’t Want to Wait’ when you watch the opening credits!”

But it’s not the original recording of the song, although the expectation is that no one will notice the difference. The artist herself weighed in Friday afternoon, explaining...

Last year Dan Levy won four — yes, four! — Emmy Awards for producing, writing, directing and acting in “Schitt’s Creek.” Now the 37-year-old multi-hyphenate is back in the Emmy rotation again thanks to his hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live,” for which he earned his first nomination in the Best Comedy Guest Actor category. Might residual love for Pop TV’s dearly departed comedy series push Levy back into the Emmy winner’s circle for “SNL”?

SEEDon’t forget, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ is ineligible for 2021 Emmys

Levy hosted the February 6 episode of the NBC late-night staple with musical guest Phoebe Bridgers. His father, Eugene Levy, appeared in his opening monologue (in a plastic box) when he walked around the iconic “SNL” set to show the audience all of the new Covid-19 safety protocols. The young Levy explained how there’s both good and bad things that came with the rising popularity of his show.

Something wonderfully stupid is coming to TBS. The network has greenlit Stupid Pet Tricks, a half-hour series based on the classic Late Show With David Letterman segment, with Sarah Silverman attached as host.

Ordered for 10 episodes, the show is described as a “fresh, comedy variety show filled with big laughs, extraordinary animals, and of course the most stupid pet tricks out there.” Production is set to begin later this year in Los Angeles.

Many award juggernaut shows like Succession, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Insecure, Better Call Saul, Stranger Things, Ozark and What We Do in the Shadows will be missing from the 2021 Emmy Award nominations and it’s not because they aren’t deserving. In order to be eligible for a statuette in 2021, episodes must have aired between June 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021. The ongoing pandemic played a major role in production stoppages and delays which in turn shifted premiere dates in line with Deadline’s prediction the fallout would linger into the new year. Emmy darling The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel began production in late January many months after its intended start date of spring/summer 2020 due to the coronavirus delays. January was the Amazon Prime Video dramedy’s intended season 4 debut which would’ve put them in that necessary eligibility window. To date, Mrs. Maisel has earned a total of 54 nominations and 20 Emmy wins across three seasons.

For six seasons, Annie Murphy played Alexis Rose on Schitt's Creek, bringing smiles to viewers' faces with her character's "Ew David" one-liners, celebrity-filled backstories, and self-described "T.Rex" arms.   Because fans often associate the actress with this role, they expect her to always be as bubbly as the daughter of the Rose family. But Annie isn't Alexis, and she experiences real-life struggles just like everybody else. In a new interview for The Zoe Report, Annie talks about mental health and her battle with depression last year.  As she told the outlet, she went through a difficult time during the Schitt's Creek farewell tour in January 2020,...

For Annie's turn, she shared a true tale from 10 years ago when she and some friends had all-access passes to a Coldplay concert. "I once licked Chris Martin's sweat off my own hand," Annie told the two others to begin the game. She went on to explain that this was before she was famous and that it...

“Kim’s Convenience” star Simu Liu has spoken out about the CBC series’ abrupt ending, behind-the-scenes conflicts and “overwhelmingly white” producers who decided to finish the show, also streaming on Netflix, despite unfinished storylines.

With the debut of the fifth and final season of the series on Netflix today, Liu wrote a long statement on Facebook about the producers’ decision to not continue the series after the departure of two showrunners.

“The show can’t be ‘saved,'” Liu wrote. “It was not ‘cancelled’ in a traditional manner, i.e. by a network after poor ratings.”

Liu, who plays Jung Kim on the series, also said he is “resentful of all of the circumstances that led to the one non-Asian character getting her own show,” alluding to the spinoff series “Strays,” based on Nicole Power’s character Shannon, that the “Kim’s Convenience” producers are currently developing.

“I love and am proud of Nicole,...

Dear diary, can you believe it's been more than 10 years since The Vampire Diaries premiered? While it was initially written off as a TV version of Twilight, the CW hit, which debuted on Sept. 10, 2009, quickly developed a cult following that turned the show into one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons, blending together epic romances, supernatural beings and small town drama to create one irresistible series that helped redefine the young network.  Based on the book series by L.J. Smith, Tvd was created by Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, two people who know a thing or two about iconic teenage love triangles. But Kevin almost passed...
