A deleted scene recently shared with IGN reveals a key moment cut from the theatrical release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The scene features a face-to-face encounter between Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal (played by Jack O’Connell) and the Alpha infected character, Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), which many viewers felt was missing from the film.
“It was almost like a, ‘Oh my God, wait,’ when we were talking about stuff, it came up, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, wait a second. I’ve done that. I could, maybe.’ So maybe, and I certainly kept in touch with the folks at Bad Robot and J.J. [Abrams], and we’ve certainly discussed different things over the years, not Cloverfield related,” Trachtenberg explained.
Watching The Apothecary Diaries, I’m struck by how well everything comes together. Each episode generally follows a really effective pattern: Maomao uses her unique knowledge to quickly get to the heart of whatever’s going on. But the show really surprised me with one episode in particular – it cleverly shifted into horror territory, and it worked brilliantly. It was a fantastic change of pace and a definite highlight.
It’s tough to pick just ten of Robert Duvall’s best movies – he’s been in so many good ones! While he’s never really made a bad film, some aren’t quite exciting enough for everyone. Take Tender Mercies, for instance, which won him an Oscar. It’s a beautifully acted movie, but the story moves very slowly – not a lot happens.
The recent Toy Fair showed off a bunch of new Mandalorian & Grogu toys that will be available in stores soon. Among the new items was a completely new Star Wars character – someone who looks like they could be a great opponent for Din Djarin.
Following the premiere of Fire Country Season 4, Sheriff Country debuted with around 7.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings. This number beat the performance of S.W.A.T., which previously aired in that same time slot. Within 35 days, Sheriff Country reached over 10 million viewers across all platforms, demonstrating its popularity and growing audience. With a second season coming soon, fans have plenty to look forward to.
HBO’s series actually proves Alan Moore wrong about his own creation. The show cleverly expanded on a minor detail from the original graphic novel, dramatically changing the character of Hooded Justice. Instead of being a German sympathizer as originally depicted, the series reveals him to be a Black man battling a sinister plot, and his anger is shown to be the driving force behind everything. This retcon, led by Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, serves as a powerful sequel to the comic book series.
To the people of Los Angeles, he’s just another momentary distraction before they go back to eating and checking their phones. But he’s faced this reaction 117 times before, so he knows how to work the crowd. He emphasizes his points with a button that will detonate a bomb strapped to his chest – a far cry from his earlier habit of simply eating any bombs he found. He assembles a diverse team of seven, including a single mother named Susan, a punk-dressed Ingrid, teachers Mark and Janet, Uber driver Scott, scout master Bob, and foodie Marie. As a man from the future warns them, some – or even all – of them might not survive their mission. And so, they set out to save humanity, facing bizarre challenges like pig-masked assassins and a giant, glitter-peeing, people-eating cat-horse hybrid.
Robert Duvall had a rare ability to captivate audiences without relying on flashy performances. He didn’t need grand gestures or over-the-top acting; a simple look, a moment of silence, or carefully spoken line was enough to command attention, even when acting alongside Hollywood’s biggest names – and he frequently outshone them.
The news about Henry Cavill’s potential casting came out unexpectedly during a filmed interview at New York Comic Con over the weekend. In the clip, a representative was checking if they could reveal certain details about the show, and began comparing the character Ser Dunk to Henry Cavill’s Geralt from The Witcher. During the conversation, someone asked if they could confirm Cavill’s involvement, saying, “Can we say that Henry Cavill is…?” but was quickly stopped by another representative who said, “No, no, don’t say that. Sorry, you didn’t hear that.”
