Originally published in 1918, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Land That Time Forgot has inspired multiple adaptations, most notably Kevin Connor’s 1974 film. Now, the story returns to the screen courtesy of The Asylum, who previously tackled the tale in 2009. Can this new adaptation deliver a mix of nostalgia and modern sensibilities, while staying true to the spirit of the original novel?

The movie opens with a tense and chaotic sequence as the crew of a Russian submarine launches a surprise attack on an Australian naval vessel in the Bering Sea. The reasons behind the attack as well as the Aussie’s presence so far from home remain unclear, but the ship is destroyed.

Among the survivors are Lt. Tim Olson, Bradley, and Tyler. They manage...

Emmy-winning actor Sterling K. Brown is making the rounds promoting his new Hulu series, Paradise, which reunites him with This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman. The series, which ran from 2016 to 2022, starred Brown, along with Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, who both recently lost their homes in the L.A. wildfires that destroyed parts of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

In an interview with Extra, Brown reminisced about his time on This Is Us, and about his co-stars who are dealing with the aftermath of the wildfires. “Talked to Milo, talked to Mandy. Talked to them both. It’s difficult. They’re just very much in the midst of all of it. It’s just one day at a time,” said the Oscar-nominated Brown.

Netflix’s 2021 apocalyptic sci-fi film Don’t Look Up is the second most-watched Netflix film of all time (behind 2021's Red Notice) and now its Oscar-winning director, Adam McKay is saying that the movie has grown more and more pertinent in today’s times. Per The Hollywood Reporter, McKay said viewers really “connected” to the movie and are more than three years after its release.

Don’t Look Up “tells the story of two low-level astronomers, who must go on a giant media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet earth,” states the film’s logline. The movie garnered mixed reviews from critics when it was released and currently has a 56% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience score, or Popcornmeter score is a more respectable 78%.

Actor Milo Ventimiglia is one of many actors who has been impacted by the recent Los Angeles wildfires. The star recently spoke out after losing his home due to the blaze. Notably, this occurred before the star’s wife is about to give birth to their new child.

Milo Ventimiglia Shared That He Was ‘Heartbroken’ Over The Devastation

Ventimiglia has had many prominent acting roles over the years. Some notable television series he’s appeared in include Gilmore Girls, Heroes, and This Is Us. He also prominently played Rocky Balboa’s son in Rocky Balboa, a role he reprised in Creed II.

Ventimiglia would be one of the many stars to have been impacted by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. The star recently revealed that his house had been destroyed by the blaze.

Milo Ventimiglia – YouTube

Speaking with CBS News, as noted by The Express U.S., Ventimiglia shared...

In a case of art a little too closely imitating life, actor Milo Ventimiglia, star of NBC’s hit This Is Us, has lost his home to fire. Fans of the show, which ran from 2016 to 2022, will recall that Ventimiglia’s character, Jack Pearson, died after his family’s home burned on the show. Per CBS News, Ventimiglia, whose wife Jarah is pregnant, said his family’s Malibu home burned in the Los Angeles fires, which are still burning.

Ventimiglia told the news outlet that he was watching on security cameras from Tuesday night as the flames from the Palisades Fire engulfed his home, a home that already housed a crib for their new baby. “You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and what not, and then you see your neighbors' houses and everything kind of around and your heart just breaks,” Ventimiglia said.

Milo Ventimiglia is the latest celebrity to lose his home to the Los Angeles wildfire. He saw a connection between this devastating loss and a similar tragedy his character on This Is Us went through.

Los Angeles Wildfire

The fires are still raging in Los Angeles and have spread to other areas, including the Palisades, Hollywood Hills, Eaton, and Kenneth. Ventimiglia shared his raw feelings as he witnessed his home burn down on the security cameras. He called the moment “eery.” Ventimiglia and his wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated their home on Tuesday, January 7.

The couple was helpless as they watched their family home burn down on the security cameras. Mariano is currently nine months pregnant. They packed up and left with their belongings. Unfortunately, they’re mourning the loss of their marital home, including their new nursery. In a candid interview with CBS Evening News, Ventimiglia returned to the place where his home once stood.

This is Us actor Milo Ventimiglia’s Malibu house fell prey to the ongoing LA fires. The devastating fires, which have unfortunately become a yearly occurrence, have claimed the properties of many Hollywood stars with many more forced to evacuate.

Although Ventimiglia noted that what mattered most was that his wife and dog were safe, it is heartbreaking for the actor anyway. Especially as his wife is due to give birth in just a few days. Fortunately, Milo Ventimiglia’s determination to move forward from the situation has not wavered.

A big credit of it he gave to his friends, and the people he works with. Another thing that must have come in handy is the millions of dollars of net worth that he has acquired throughout his career.

Milo Ventimiglia’s net worth surpasses many of his This Is Us co-stars...

Milo Ventimiglia shared that he and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, have lost their Malibu home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

The actor, most known for roles in This Is Us and Gilmore Girls, told CBS News his house burned down after the Palisades Fire swept through their neighborhood. His family evacuated Tuesday and watched on security cameras as the flames took over their home.

“I think there’s a kind of shock moment where you’re going, ‘Oh, this is real and this is happening,’ and then at a certain point, we just turn it off,” he said. “It’s like, what good is it to continue watching, you know. We kind of accepted the loss.”

Mariano and Ventimiglia are also expecting their first child any day now, and the actor said they had the nursery all ready to go for their baby, making the devastation even harder to grasp.

As fires continue to rage around Southern California, Milo Ventimiglia is one of many to lose his home in the tragedy.

After evacuating with his family on Tuesday, the 3x Emmy nominee opened up about the “heavy” experience of losing their home in the Malibu Fire while surveying the damage, noting “it hits you so quick” as he choked up.

“You start thinking about all the memories in the different parts of the house and whatnot,” said Ventimiglia on CBS Evening News. “Then you see your neighbors’ houses and everything around, and your heart just breaks.”

He noted that he and wife Jarah Mariano saw the fire consume their home on security cameras.

“I think there’s a kind of shock moment where you’re going, ‘Oh, this is real, and this is happening,'” he explained. “And then at a certain point, we just turned it off. What good is it to continue watching?...

As This Is Us‘ Jack Pearson, Milo Ventimiglia famously lost a family home to a fire. Art in some ways imitated life for the actor this week, he acknowledges, when he and wife Jarah Mariano lost their Malibu home to the fast-moving wildfires ravaging the coast in Los Angeles.

In the CBS News segment above, Ventimiglia says that he and his wife evacuated their home on Tuesday, and were left to watch on the home security cameras “as flames took over” and turned their house to ash.

Milo Ventimiglia’s family home in Malibu has burnt down, the actor shared on Thursday night.

During an interview with CBS News, the “This Is Us” star shared that he and his wife, Jarah Mariano, who is currently nine months pregnant, evacuated their home on Tuesday, Jan. 7, and then watched the Palisades Fire take over through security cameras.

While the couple took as many belongings as possible, they had to leave behind the items in their recently finished nursery and left everything there. On Thursday, he visited returned to the area to see where his home once stood.

“[It’s] heavy,” he said, holding back tears. “You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and whatnot, and then you see your neighbors’ houses and everything kind of around and your heart just breaks.”

In the video interview, he also opened up about watching it all happen from afar.

Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company are in preparation for production on “I Can Only Imagine 2,” a sequel to the breakout hit “I Can Only Imagine.”

The 2018 film took in over $83 million at the domestic box office. The sequel will be directed by Brent McCorkle and Andrew Erwin from a screenplay written by McCorkle.

“I Can Only Imagine 2” will continue the inspirational true story of Bart Millard, once again played by John Michael Finley.

Once This Is Us revealed that Milo Ventimiglia's Jack Pearson was dead in the present timeline, it was only a matter of time before viewers learned the details surrounding his death, and one season 2 episode held all the answers. The NBC drama television series premiered on September 20, 2016, and was an immediate hit, thanks to its nonlinear storytelling, well-crafted twists, excellent performances, and pathos. While the show evoked many emotions over the course of its six-season run, one of the most heartbreaking and mysterious storylines revolved around Jack's death since he was a beloved and significant character.

The series premiere's ending revealed that Kevin, Kate, and Randall were Jack and Rebecca's kids. But beforehand, the episode made the audience believe that Rebecca giving birth and the Big Three celebrating their 36th birthday were happening during the same time period. Viewers may have thought nothing else could shock them more following the pilot.

War of the Worlds: Extinction is a followup to The Asylum’s 2021 film War of the Worlds: Annihilation, but in the opening montage, however, the film flips the script entirely, revealing that rather than Earth being invaded it was us doing the invading, attacking and trying to colonize the planet Emios after we made Earth uninhabitable.

Almost immediately after that montage, we see the one returning character, General Skuller leading his troops against the Earth forces, apparently in defiance of orders to stand down and welcome what are referred to as refugees from Earth. Any chance of that happening vanishes when he sees his daughter vaporized by an enemy craft while trying to lead some of those refugees to safety.

This Is Us stars Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia reunite two years after the series finale. Moore and Ventimiglia played married couple Rebecca and Jack Pearson in the critically acclaimed series that aired for six seasons on NBC. The show's non-linear narrative explored many periods in the lives of Rebecca, Jack, and their relationship, long before and after they met, along with the lives of many other characters throughout the emotional series' 106 episodes.

On Instagram, the That Was Us podcast showed Moore and Ventimiglia reuniting and recreating a This Is Us behind-the-scenes photo they took together. Check out the photos below:

Over the years, dads like Ward Cleaver (“Leave it to Beaver”), Mike Brady (“The Brady Bunch”) and Howard Cunningham (“Happy Days”) have dispensed sound advice and doled out stern but gentle discipline when needed. New dads such as Ricky Ricardo (“I Love Lucy”) and Jack Pearson (“This Is Us”) have shown the joy and wonderment of being a new parent, and the various dilemmas all parents face when raising young children.

Exclusive: Milo Ventimiglia, star of This is Us and Heroes, has new representation.

The actor has signed with WME. He was previously repped by Verve.

It comes after he starred in ABC drama series The Company You Keep, which ran for one season. His production company Divide Pictures, which he runs with Russ Cundiff, produced that series and has sold a slew of projects to networks and streamers. Divide has a deal at 20th Television.

Ventimiglia is best known for starring in NBC drama series This Is Us, which ran for six seasons and over 100 episodes. In addition to play Jack Pearson, a character that helped him score three Emmy nominations, he also directed a number of episodes.

He recently starred in the feature film Land of Bad, opposite Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth and led Disney film The Art of Racing in the Rain, an adaptation of the novel by Garth Stein.

Character departures are inevitable for most shows.

That doesn't mean we have to like them. Sometimes, a character has to go because it's necessary for the story.

Other times, the actor moves on to a new role, and the character can't continue without them.

Now and then, a character's time on a show comes to an end in a way that leaves us brokenhearted and feeling betrayed by the writers.

These exits took us by surprise, and not in a good way.

It goes without saying that Milo Ventimiglia is a huge star considering he portrayed some of our favorite heartthrobs onscreen. From his early roles as Jess Mariano in "Gilmore Girls" and Peter Petrelli in "Heroes," to his most recent ones as Jack Pearson in "This Is Us" and Charlie Nicoletti in "The Company You Keep," Ventimiglia has never had any problem acting out romance on screen. He's a bit more reserved with his personal life, however.

The 46-year-old actor usually shies away from talking about his love life publicly, and he told People why in a 2017 interview, explaining, "I try to minimize myself so people can see the character and can really dive into the work."

Still, Ventimiglia has had a few (and we mean very few) high-profile romances over the years. Like many other celebrities before him, he's mixed business with pleasure on two occasions by falling for his costars,...

The Pearson family is at the heart of "This Is Us," and the show revolves around the lives of Jack, Rebecca, Kevin, Kate, and Randall. The show's success lies in its heartfelt and surprising storytelling, jaw-dropping performances, and ability to connect with the audience. Jack's death and its aftermath have a profound effect on the rest of the Pearsons as they struggle with grief and healing throughout their lives.

The Pearson family is the heart of This Is Us, and the (mostly) tight-knit group spans multiple generations over the course of the six-season television series. The plot twist at the end of the NBC drama's pilot episode revealed that the show would jump around between numerous timelines as it told the story of the Pearsons. Although the series featured around 16 family members throughout its six seasons and 106 episodes, the most significant ones were undoubtedly Jack, Rebecca, Kevin, Kate, and Randall.

There’s a sweet, full-circle moment in the Breeders series finale on FX that wouldn’t have been possible without the rage, narcissism, and dereliction of Paul Worsley (Martin Freeman) these past four seasons.

The world is full of bad TV fathers, thanks to the one-dimensional Frank Gallaghers and Homer Simpsons out there. It’s also rife with aspirational TV Land dads like Jack Pearson or Philip Banks. But where are the complicated dads? The ones who try their best but continuously fail? Who are ready to give up? Those who represent the real-life complexities of modern-day fatherhood and all of the exhaustion, anger, love, and existential questions that come with it?...

Milo Ventimiglia as Jack — (Photo by: NBC) Over the course of its six seasons, This Is Us followed the members of the Pearson family across the better part of a century. With its flashbacks and flash-forwards, the show was able to tell stories about childhood, parenthood, and American family relationships through several different eras, tackling some pretty tough issues about life, love, and mortality along the way. Though the show became a significant cultural force during its run (2016-2022), the average viewership was only about 13 million viewers, which means there are plenty of potential new viewers discovering the show through streaming. Assuming they haven’t gotten any spoilers, what can they expect?

Lance Cushing a former combat engineer and search and rescue expert is called in to help get them out. He brings his fiance Katherine who is a seismologist along. It’s a good thing he did because it looks like there’s going to be some massive aftershocks, but her so far unproven “Dispersal Theory” might be able to protect what’s left of The White House from them. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Wilder has been sworn in as acting President, and a militia group, The Virginia Lookout, led by Beck are heading to DC.

Milo Ventimiglia has built up an impressive career in terms of starring in long-running shows. Beginning with Gilmore Girls and eventually Heroes before his role as Jack Pearson in This Is Us, Ventimiglia has frequently been a part of shows that have stood the test of time. So that’s why there was a ton of optimism surrounding his newest endeavor on ABC, The Company You Keep. Not only was Ventimigilia starring in it opposite Catherine Haena Kim, but he also was serving as executive producer. The show came out strong with the backing of marketing and an interesting premise, but not even that could get this show to last past its first season. ABC opted not to renew the show after it aired its season finale.

Justin Hartley may no longer be Kevin Pearson on the hit show This Is Us, but he's heading back to television with a brand new series called Tracker. With a premiere date set for right after the Super Bowl in 2024, the series will find life on CBS. So we just now have to wait to see who is playing in that Super Bowl to lead up to Hartley's new series. Personally, let's pray it's the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) representation.

Not letting the success of Ape vs Monster go to waste The Asylum is back with Ape vs. Mecha Ape. This time they’ve brought in Marc Gottlieb to write and direct. While it’s only his second feature, the other was Cousin Howard back in 1995, and the first one for The Asylum he’s written several scripts for them including Jungle Run, 2025 Armageddon, and Aquarium of the Dead. Can he kick the franchise into gear after its dismal first film?

Ape vs. Mecha Ape opens with a chemical weapons plant that looks like an old warehouse being attacked by what looks like the giant ape Abraham. A few explosions later we see that it’s actually a giant, well-armed, robot which makes short work of the plant’s security.

A sequel to 2021’s Ape vs. Monster, which served as a “mockbuster” take on Godzilla vs. Kong, The Asylum has just unleashed their latest creature feature: Ape vs. Mecha Ape.

Starring Tom Arnold, the kaiju-sized fight film is now available on VOD outlets.

In director Marc Gottlieb‘s Ape vs. Mecha Ape, “Recognizing the destructive power of its captive giant Ape, the military makes its own battle-ready A.I., Mecha Ape. But its first practical test goes horribly wrong, leaving the military no choice but to release the imprisoned giant ape to stop the colossal robot before it destroys downtown Chicago.”

Jack Pearson, Anna Telfer and Xander Bailey also star.

Before he became associated with his fan-favorite Gilmore Girls character Jess Mariano, Milo Ventimiglia appeared in one episode of the Saved By The Bell spin-off, The New Class. Although only two original characters were part of this series, including Screech Powers (Dustin Diamond) and Richard Belding (Dennis Hawkins), a few now-famous stars had small roles, including Gabrielle Union and James Marsden. These characters may not have been as fleshed out as the main cast, but they still held significance for the show's relatable high school plotlines.

Around the time of his Saved By The Bell: The New Class role, Ventimiglia appeared on other teen series The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air and Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and a few years later, played a boarding school student on the short-lived The Opposite Sex. However, Milo Ventimiglia's best-rated performances remain his romantic leads, from Jess to Jack Pearson on This Is Us.

No relation to the anime of the same name or the Don Bluth film Titan A.E. for that matter, this Attack on Titan is – you guessed it – another creatively titled film from The Asylum. This one justifies its title by having a rebel faction on Saturn’s moon Titan object to Earth’s deal with the government to harvest water crystals. Since they launch an attack on us, the film, whose original title, Alien Space Battle, still appears in the end credits would be more accurately called Attack from Titan. But that just doesn’t sound the same.

After an attack on a freighter carrying those water crystals back to Earth Citizen Prime Ortiz orders Max Reece to put together a mission to rescue it. There’s just one problem, the only...

Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for the premiere of The Company You Keep.There are certain roles that just stick with an actor — the legacy of which can sometimes take away from any future roles they pick up. For Milo Ventimiglia, he’s fresh off the heels of his iconic role on This Is Us as Jack Pearson, a role he played for six seasons and one that earned him multiple Emmy nominations. He makes his return to the small screen with ABC's The Company You Keep, which is based on the South Korean television series My Fellow Citizens!, and he has the challenging task of taking on a new persona less than one year after the This Is Us finale.

The Company You (ABC/Scott Everett White) Milo Ventimiglia Milo Ventimiglia fans will have no trouble separating his new role on The Company You Keep from his last TV role, as Jack Pearson on This Is Us. On The Company You Keep, he plays a con man — one who comes from a family of swindlers — who falls for an undercover CIA agent. There’s drama, there’s intrigue, there’s romance, and Ventimiglia says he thinks all of those elements add up to a show that’s just plain fun to watch.

Oh, baby. I think ABC has another hit on its hands, and it comes in the form of another sudsy primetime drama with the venerable Milo Ventimiglia as the head of the ship.

The Company You Keep is like a fascinating twist on Romeo and Juliet, which, as we know, saw the children of two feuding families falling in love. Here, these families aren't feuding (yet), but their children are undoubtedly embarking on a clandestine relationship that has all the makings for a tragic end.

But let's not worry about the ending right now, when things are just beginning, and everything is oh, so sweet. Instead, let's dive into The Company You Keep Season 1 Episode 1, a pilot that makes a strong case for this series to be the latest addition to your must-watch list.

While The Company You Keep has a lovely, robust cast, all eyes will immediately be on Milo Ventimiglia,...

Before “This Is Us,” Milo Ventimiglia’s major roles felt of one voice. There’s Jess Mariano, the troubled young rebel on “Gilmore Girls”; Peter Petrelli, a tortured nurse struggling to control his powers in “Heroes”; Robert Balboa, Rocky’s son who’s stuck in his father’s shadow, even when he doesn’t know who he is without it. Ventimiglia’s specialty was playing the bewildered bad boy with a good heart, and whether it was a woman (like Rory), a calling (like Hiro’s), or a father (like Rocky), he just needed one thing to go right for the rest of his life to fall into place. In other words, he was the guy someone looked at and thought, “I can fix him” — and they were usually right.

Then “This Is Us” came along. Jack Pearson wasn’t some kid trying to put the pieces together; he was...

Milo Ventimiglia got emotional during an appearance on The View as he recalled his parents and the inspiration behind his role on This Is Us.

“My dad is wonderful… my mom and dad… I get emotional,” he said as he got choked up. “My mom and dad are wonderful people. My father and Jack Pearson were of the same era, both born in the 40s, both Vietnam vets.

“And I saw in Jack the way that I…,” Ventimiglia stopped as he got teary-eyed. “It always happens.”

He continued, “I see in Jack the way my father was with my sisters and I, just wonderful. So thank you.”

The actor said that when he interpreted his role as Jack on the NBC drama series, it was his own father that he had in mind.

“What I also saw though was an opportunity with the way he was to just kind of...

Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia explains why he nearly quit acting once the NBC show ended. Ventimiglia portrayed Peter Petrelli in the superpowered series, which focused on seemingly ordinary people who discover that they possess extraordinary abilities. It was the actor's second-biggest role television role at the time, following his Gilmore Girls stint as Jess Mariano. But, despite two leading portrayals in very popular dramas, Ventimiglia admits that he struggled to find work once Heroes ended.

In an interview with Variety, Ventimiglia talked about how he considered walking away from Hollywood because he couldn't get a job. The comments came in the context of promoting his upcoming show, The Company You Keep, and Ventimiglia talks about how he began to doubt whether he was making the right decision by remaining an actor. Here is his full response below:

"After ‘Heroes,’ I had a hard time working, I couldn’t get a job.

It’s tough being a liar but that’s a fitting, albeit short, description of Milo Ventimiglia‘s new character. The actor takes a sharp left turn from perfect dad Jack Pearson on This Is Us to play con man Charlie Nicoletti in the new ABC series, The Company You Keep, premiering February 19. In the series, which comes from Ventimiglia’s Tk production company, viewers will meet Charlie, a career criminal working cons big and small with his family. “[Charlie’s] someone who was born into this life, never chose the life, but he happens to be really good at this life,” Ventimiglia tells us recently. But what happens when that criminal falls for a CIA agent (Catherine Haena Kim), who, unbeknownst to Charlie, has to do her own share of lying in her work? “You could say they both lie for a living,” Kim says. “They just have different ways of justifying it.
