You know an actor wants to get a movie made when they use interviews to announce financing opportunities. That's what Elizabeth Olsen did for Todd Solondz's film Love Child a few months ago when she spoke with Vulture. She said at the time, "If anyone’s writing about this interview, if you guys want to make a big, bold notice that says, 'Todd Solondz needs money to make a movie,' that would be great!" Rachel Weisz and Colin Farrell were previously attached to Love Child back in 2021, but without financing, they couldn't commit. Currently, Olsen and Charles Melton are attached to star, and hopefully Solondz gets the funding he needs. The great auteur (of Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness fame), who is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his film Palindromes, spoke to MovieWeb about Olsen and their potential film.

It's not every day an Emmy-winning series recognized in The New York Times' Best TV Shows in 2023 and 2024 feels like it flies under the radar. Nevertheless, such is the case for Blue Eye Samurai. The Edo-period revenge anime sits at a curious crossroads in the animation world. With 4.8 million views in its first two weeks on Netflix, a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, and an Emmy win, no one could say it's underrated or a commercial failure. Yet, the gorgeously rendered series is hardly discussed among the folks who might appreciate it most: anime fans.

Much like the main protagonist Mizu hides her identity, Blue Eye Samurai operates in disguise in the anime landscape. The French-produced revenge tale, created by Michael Green and Amber Noizumi, boasts Japanese historical settings, samurai combat so smooth some consider it sakuga despite its CGI animation, and clear Samurai Champloo and Ninja Scroll influences. Still, a controversial combination — its production home,...

In 1983, several actresses filmed scenes as star pilots in the Battle of Endor for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. However, they did not make it into the final cut of the film or dubbed over as men. Since then, though, there have been many female star pilots in both the Star Wars films and series.

In 1999, George Lucas rectified the omission 16 years later in The Phantom Menace. British actress Celia Imrie portrayed Naboo starfighter Dinee Ellberger. The character assisted the Jedi and Naboo's liberation of the planet against the Trade Federation.

With the exception of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the four other films released under Disney have featured female star pilots. In The Force Awakens, Jessica Henwick portrayed X-Wing pilot Jessika Pava. Henwick was a finalist for the role of Rey and won over director J.J. Abrams to give her a role in the film.

Exclusive: This Is Us alum Michael Angarano has been cast in a key recurring role on Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Apple TV+’s series starring Elle Fanning, Michael Pfeiffer and Nick Offerman and executive produced by Fanning, Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman.

In Margo’s Got Money Troubles, based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, Fanning stars as Margo Millet, the child of a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and an ex-pro wrestler (Offerman), who becomes pregnant after a brief affair with an English professor, Mark (Angarano), at the local junior college she attends. Now, at 20, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. When her estranged father Jinx shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Margo starts an OnlyFans as an experiment and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling.

Michael Cera and Michael Angarano hit the road in the comedy Sacramento.

Vertical released the official trailer for the upcoming film Sacramento on Thursday. The trailer shows pregnant Rosie (Kristen Stewart) encouraging her husband, Glenn (Michael Cera), to reconnect with his estranged friend, Rickey (Angarano), after his dad dies. Together, they go on a California road trip and reflect on their past.

The Sky High star directs the road trip comedy and stars in it with Tallie (played by Maya Erskine), his real-life wife. Angarano also co-wrote the film along with Chris Smith. Leslie Braun serves as the executive producer.

While the road trip comedy is Cera and Stewart’s first project together, it’s a reunion for Angarano and Stewart, who starred together in 2004’s Speak, where they met. The pair then dated in real life from 2005 to 2009.

In June, Sacramento, which is Angarano’s second directorial effort, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

"I didn't know what I wanted, but I think I do now..." Do you, Michael, do you? Vertical has revealed the official trailer for an indie road trip comedy film titled Sacramento made by actor / filmmaker Michael Angarano, his second feature after directing Avenues. It first premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival last year, and played at a few other fests. Angarano is Rickey, an energetic and free-spirited young man who convinces Glenn, his long-time friend who's settled into domestic life, to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. But "they're heading for a breakdown..." The two men confront their anxiety-ridden lives, addressing past mistakes and questioning what their futures hold The cast features Angarano and a bunch of his friends, including his partner Maya Erskine. Sacramento stars Michael Cera, Michael Angarano, Maya Erskine, and Kristen Stewart, with Rosalind Chao, A.J. Mendez, Iman Karram. This looks especially funny and kooky,...

Michael Angarano had gone from child actor to director with his directorial debut — 2017’s Avenues. He makes the leap to the big chair for the second time for his new movie, the road trip comedy Sacramento. Vertical Entertainment has just unveiled the trailer that stars Michael Cera, Michael Angarano, Maya Erskine and Kristen Stewart. Angarano directs from a script co-written by him and Chris Smith. Leslie Braun is on board as an executive producer and the film is produced by Stephen Braun, Chris Abernathy, Eric B. Fleischman, Sam Grey, Michael Angarano, Chris Smith.

The official synopsis reads,

“Following the death of his father, energetic and free-spirited Rickey (Michael Angarano) convinces long-time friend Glenn (Michael Cera) to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. Frustrated by Rickey’s Peter Pan complex, Glenn is encouraged by his pregnant wife Rosie (Kristen Stewart) to go on the adventure to reconnect.

Premiering last year at Tribeca Festival, just before he was seen in Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, Michael Angarano’s second directorial feature Sacramento brought together the impressive cast of Michael Cera, Kristen Stewart, and Maya Erskine, along with the actor-director-writer-producer himself. Picked up by Vertical, who will release the drama theatrically on April 11, they’ve now debuted the first trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: “Following the death of his father, energetic and free-spirited Rickey (Michael Angarano) convinces long-time friend Glenn (Michael Cera) to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. Frustrated by Rickey’s Peter Pan complex, Glenn is encouraged by his pregnant wife Rosie (Kristen Stewart) to go on the adventure to reconnect. In the worn yellow seats of Glenn’s old college convertible, the two men confront their anxiety-ridden lives, addressing past mistakes and questioning what their futures hold.

Michael Angarano is making his sophomore directorial effort with road trip coming of age comedy “Sacramento” — and it sure doesn’t hurt to have an all-star cast behind the wheel.

“Minx” alum Angarano directs and stars in “Sacramento,” which he co-wrote with Chris Smith. This is Angarano’s second feature he’s directed; the star made his debut with 2017’s “Avenues.”

“Sacramento” centers on Angarano and Michael Cera’s characters, as the duo embark on a road trip before Cera’s onscreen wife Kristen Stewart gives birth. “PEN15” co-creator and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress Maya Erskine, who is also Angarano’s real-life partner, co-stars.

The official logline reads: “Following the death of his father, energetic and free-spirited Rickey (Angarano) convinces long-time friend Glenn (Cera) to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. Frustrated by Rickey’s Peter Pan complex, Glenn is encouraged by his pregnant...

Season 1 starred Donald Glover as John Smith/ Michael and Maya Erskine as Jane Smith/ Alana. However, the show, which was created by Glover and Francesca Sloane, will have a different Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Amazon Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith series sneaked onto screens and delivered a delightfully unexpected twist on the classic 2005 movie. This time, it’s not just about the explosive action or spy drama, though that’s still plenty fun, but also about the messy, hilarious, and surprisingly touching relationship between the two secret agents. Donald Glover and Maya Erskine steal the show as the covert couple navigating a chaotic mix of espionage and marital drama.

Critics were quick to praise their sizzling chemistry, making the action-packed missions feel more like a rollercoaster romance than just a series of spy encounters. While the 2005 movie didn’t exactly dive deep into emotional territory, the show wisely used its 8-episode run to explore the heart of their partnership. And guess what? Season 2 is officially on the way, meaning the thrill and drama will only get juicier!

Netflix is one of the best places to find the best movies and TV shows you can watch on any streaming service.

From espionage to action sequences, these shows bring fresh stories to the genre.

Spy thriller TV shows have had a nice resurgence of late with a new one seeming to appear every month. Well, I’m here for it because – when done right – there’s nothing cooler than dropping into the world of espionage. One of my favorite shows of 2024 was “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” (even if things got a little weird at the end), and now, with the release of Apple TV+’s “Prime Target,” I thought it a great idea to count down the best new (meaning first season only) spy/espionage thrillers from the last year that you can stream right now. Let’s get to it!

Top 7 new spy thriller TV shows on streaming right now:

No. 7: ‘Prime Target’

No. 6: ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’

No. 5: ‘Dark Matter’

No. 4: ‘The Sympathizer’

No. 3: ‘Black Doves’

One of the coolest and most beloved sub-genres for thriller, action, and drama fans is the spy genre, and there’s a good reason. In a spy film or series, we get complicated and cool characters who put their lives on the line by going against numerous people, and instead of always letting their guns talk, they use more covert tactics, which are always thrilling to watch. So, Prime Video being what it is, it has a large library of content, and also some of the best spy shows you can find, and that’s what inspired us to compile a list of the best spy shows you can watch on Prime Video right now.

2005's hit action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith is heading to a new streaming home next month.

Per Hulu, director Doug Liman's Mr. & Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be joining the platform's ever-expanding streaming catalog. The move will take place on February 1, marking another streaming platform on which the breakout hit feature film is available while fans await the upcoming second season of Amazon Studios' series of the same name.

One of the biggest films of 2005 was Mr. & Mrs. Smith, directed by Doug Liman, with two of the biggest stars at the time, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The assassin / action film is moving to Hulu starting on Feb. 1, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith has an intriguing plot, as John (Pitt) and Jane (Jolie) live a dull married life, not knowing the other is actually a deadly assassin. There's plenty of chemistry between the two leads and enough action to satisfy fans. The official plot synopsis reads:

As someone whose career revolves around watching far too much television, even I had to stop and think after reading what Kathy Bates’ SAG Awards nomination came for this morning. No, not “Matlock,” the hit CBS revival I’ve already reviewed, but Bates’ other SAG nomination — the one for “The Great Lillian Hall.” Premiering on the last day of Emmy eligibility, the HBO film stars Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, and Pierce Brosnan in a story about an actress battling her fading memory as she prepares for a new, juicy role on Broadway. It’s the kind of production that should be catnip for awards voters — a drama about actors, starring legends, and hinging on an immensely personal obstacle — yet “The Great Lillian Hall” wasn’t treated with much respect, earning zero recognition from the Emmys and garnering only a few Critics Choice nominations and a CSA nod… until today.

Brushing...

Following the film's screening at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival, star, co-writer and director Michael Angarano cited films like Alexander Payne's Sideways as a major influence for his second directorial feature. Those influences can be felt throughout Sacramento, as it's a road trip dramedy, starring Michael Cera, Kristen Stewart, and Maya Erskine, that follows two friends with polar opposite personalities who commit questionably moral yet still very human acts. While it certainly holds a lot of similarities to the cult classic, Sacramento does bring enough new commentary and ideas to the table to help it stand out from the typical comedy crowd.

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards have wrapped up on CBS. It was a great year for TV, with series like Shōgun, The Penguin, True Detective: Night Country and more taking home well-deserved awards.

One show that didn't get much love this year was HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon, which stars Emma D'Arcy as queen-in-exile Rhaenyra Targaryen. D'Arcy got the show's lone Golden Globe nomination for its second season, which aired in 2024. They were up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Drama, alongside Kathy Bates (Matlock), Maya Erskine (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), Keira Knightley (Black Doves), Keri Russell (The Diplomat), and Anna Sawai (Shōgun).

In the end, Anna Sawai took home the award for her bracing performance as Toda Mariko in Shōgun, as expected. Kudos to her. But just because D'Arcy didn't win the award doesn't mean they couldn't cut a memorable...

With last night's Golden Globe win for Best Actor in an anthology, limited series, or TV movie for his lead performance as Oz Cobb in The Penguin, Colin Farrell joins the very small circle of just three actors who have been honoured at the awards ceremony for playing comic book villains - and their characters all happen to be Batman foes.

Farrell was asked about joining the late Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix, who both previously won Golden Globes for their respective portrayals of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and Todd Phillips' Joker.

“You mentioned two actors who are, I think, for my money, two of the most extraordinarily talented and gifted and just brilliant artists in films that I’ve ever had the fortune to observe and be affected by," the Irish actor tells Variety. "What Heath did in Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight was extraordinary,...

Kathy Bates didn’t win at the 2025 Golden Globes, and her reaction to her loss has gone viral on social media.

Bates was nominated at the awards show for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series — Drama for her work on the CBS drama Matlock. However, Shōgun’s Anna Sawai took the trophy, which meant that Bates had no use for an acceptance speech.

Each female actor nominated had a camera on them with a live shot to capture their reactions following their win or loss. After presenters Colman Domingo and Salma Hayek read the winner’s name, Bates graciously gave a round of applause to Sawai.

As the broadcast started to focus on Sawai and follow her reaction as she walked on stage to accept the award, cameras captured Bates as she ripped up a piece of paper she had in her hands.

Alongside Bates and Sawai,...

Anna Sawai took home the Golden Globe for best actress in a drama series for her role in Shogun on Sunday night.

Colman Domingo and Salma Hayek Pinault presented the award to the actress, who kept her acceptance speech short.

“I have so many people to thank, but I’m going to keep it short,” Sawai said after taking to the stage. “Thank you to the voters for voting for me, even though I would vote for Kathy Bates any day.”

She continues, “Thank you to our incredible writers. Without a good script, it’s impossible to give a performance to our fullest full potential. Thank you, everyone else. I’m going to thank you later.”

Sawai took home the award for her performance as Toda Mariko in the Shogun, which is adapted from James Clavell’s 1975 best-selling historical novel of the same name. Her win also comes more than...

Anna Sawai gave a very brief victory speech after winning her first Golden Globe, claiming the award for best female actor in a TV drama for her performance in the FX drama “Shōgun.”

“Thank you to the voters for voting for me, even though I would vote for Kathy Bates any day,” Sawai said, referencing her competitor who was nominated for “Matlock.”

“Thank you to our incredible writers. Without a good script, it’s impossible to give a performance to our fullest potential. Thank you to everyone else. I’m going to thank you later!” Sawai concluded.

In “Shōgun,” Sawai plays Toda Mariko, a highborn woman who serves as a translator between the Japanese ruler Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) and the English mariner John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis). She beat Bates (“Matlock”), Emma D’Arcy (“House of the Dragon”), Keira Knightley (“Black Doves”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) and Maya Erskine (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) in the category.
