10 years ago, the world saw the first John Wick movie, where Keanu Reeves’ titular character ends up fighting with criminals on his way to revenge. It has already inspired a number of filmmakers, but what if a similar thriller was led by a woman?
Netflix will soon present its own take on this topic, starring Jessica Alba, the recognized action lead. The actress’ most recent feature credit is the 2019 thriller Killers Anonymous, so we’ll be glad to see her roaring return to the genre.
The movie’s plot revolves around Alba’s Parker, a Special Forces commando who is called back to her hometown as her father has died all of a sudden. Therefore, she settles down there and decides to run the family bar, reconnecting with her former close ones.
However, Parker still can’t accept her father’s death, and so she starts looking for answers. In...

Bob Odenkirk and Connie Nielsen will be returning for Nobody 2 – and the plan is to have it filming this summer. More here.
A very welcome, almost out of nowhere hit back in 2021, the film Nobody saw Bob Odenkirk became an action movie star. Released at a point where studios were struggling to buy a hit – er, well, not much unlike now – the film from a modest budget returned a handsome profit, and talk quickly sparked about a follow-up.
Odenkirk’s well-reported health problems will have slowed things down a little, but thankfully, he’s recovered. He’s set to reprise the lead role of Hutch in Nobody 2, opposite the also-returning Connie Nielsen.
The first film was penned by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, with the director’s chair sat in by Ilya Naishuller. Naishiller will not be back for the sequel though, and as per a report at Collider,...

Even though Ryan Gosling has been in the public eye for decades now, in recent years, the media seems to have gained a newfound appreciation for him as a person. While this is the case now, there is no denying that he has had some very iconic projects throughout his career. One of the best examples would be his 2016 film, Nice Guys, starring Russell Crowe and Angourie Rice.

There are many incidents when a decision made by an actor significantly alters the course of their entire life and career. For Keanu Reeves, however, a pivotal choice could have not only reshaped his trajectory but potentially spared Val Kilmer from a path that ultimately tarnished his reputation as an actor in the industry.

Kilmer took on the role of the DC superhero Batman in the 1995 film Batman Forever. While the film performed quite well at the box office, Kilmer’s on-set behavior contributed to a growing perception of him being a difficult actor to work with. However, if Reeves had accepted the offer, Kilmer might have potentially avoided facing such consequences.

Wesley Snipes’ Blade, released in 1998, stands as a prominent landmark in superhero cinema. It paved the path for the significant Marvel movie adaptations of Spider-Man and X-Men. The Stephen Norrington brainchild still raises conversations among fans for its sleek action style.
While there are several notable action set pieces in the entire Blade Trilogy, nothing can top the opening Blood Rave scene from the first part. Even after 26 years, it is an excellent example of R-rated action done right.

Blade reboot has been a long-gestating project from Marvel Studios that seems to be taking way too long to proceed, and to make it worse, the latest filmmaker to take on the movie has made his exit. This is now the second time the movie has lost its director.

The magnetic cinematography of Star Wars is never-ending, with new flicks shattering glass ceilings ever since it premiered in the 1970s. Since then, the American epic has hooked the fans, as evidenced by broken box office records.
Although the series has explored several stories set in a galaxy far, far away, it has never opted to produce an R-rated film. The MPA classification of films made under the Disney banner has consistently stayed at PG-13.

However, a recent interview with Dave Filoni, Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm, presents a different image for those who love Star Wars.

Exclusive: Dane Cook is set to reteam with Greg Coolidge, his director on the 2006 Lionsgate comedy Employee of the Month, on Guys Night, an indie comedy based on the 2011 Black List script by Christopher Baldi.
The film follows a man who, after hitting a major rut in his marriage, is convinced the only way to save the relationship is to have the ultimate night out with his male co-workers.
Cook will produce, as will Jim Valdez through his Fortress Media Group. Seth Yanklewitz (The Hangover) is casting, with production scheduled for a late summer start. Christopher Barish, Kyle Hayes and Matt Bass are the executive producers.
Breaking out in the late ’90s and early 2000s as one of the biggest comedians in the world, Cook remains among the top-selling, as highlighted by his sold-out performance at Netflix Is a Joke and his upcoming nationwide Live Nation tour, “Fresh New Flavor.

Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves have the Midas touch. The director and actor have been instrumental in creating one of the biggest action franchises in Hollywood with the John Wick films. Reeves, who plays the titular character, first cemented his place as a true blue action star with Speed and The Matrix saga, and took this image forward to make it bigger and better with John Wick.

While Stahelski stated that a 5th film in the franchise is a definite possibility, fans have meanwhile manifested their desires by creating their own versions of what to expect in the film. A new fan concept trailer is adding even more hype to the already massive franchise by roping in Ryan Gosling to share screen space with Reeves. While this sounds like a delicious pairing on paper, would this idea work in reality?

The Blade reboot featuring Mahershala Ali has generated significant hype, and after a period of uncertainty, progress seems to be finally underway. But all is not good news! Attention is now fixed on a particular director who has garnered notable interest after Yann Demange left the project.

Now is the perfect moment for Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige to consider the John Wick director Chad Stahelski, especially given the director’s previous interest in the project.

Pierce Brosnan’s last James Bond film, Die Another Day, was certainly a letdown for many fans. Many complained that the film felt unoriginal and like a copy of every single thing that worked in the franchise, completed into one project. While there is no denying that the film did not meet expectations, that did not make its filming process any easier.

Keanu Reeves is one name you just can’t miss when looking at action movies in Hollywood. While the actor has convinced audiences with his John Wick personality in the action franchise, he has done way beyond that. Looking back at his filmography, his Speed movie is one of his best projects, which further established his action-star persona in the industry.

“All That We Love” is not, at first brush, a lovable film. Or perhaps the midlife crisis meets coming-of-age drama led by Margaret Cho is too lovable and therefore falls flat for its earnestness?
Cho stars as Emma, an empty nester who realizes just how alone she truly is after the death of her family dog Tanner. Emma is frustrated at work, faced with the return of her ex-husband Andy (Kenneth Choi), and forced to confront the fact that her daughter Maggie (Alice Lee) is relocating to Australia with her boyfriend (Devon Bostick). Basically, Emma is having a bad time. The only bright spot in Emma’s social circle, it seems, is her friendship with Stan (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who is also dealing with a loss of his own…and a crisis reaction that includes purchasing a motorcycle.

Hiroyuki Sanada’s Shōgun has earned itself the reputation of being a great TV series, especially for bringing a fresher perspective to the current age, where remakes and adaptations are gaining a detested reputation. The show is an adaptation of James Clavell’s novel from 1975 of the same name. The series’ dedication to being true to the source material garnered it a massive fan following.

Needless to say, as soon as the series hit the screens, it surpassed all expectations, becoming one of the biggest conversation topics and a sensation overnight. Even though the original miniseries was breathtaking in every sense, shooting some of those scenes was not easy. The show’s cinematographer opens up how one of the initial scenes of Shōgun was the most tricky to shoot in the series.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire that hit theaters in March 2024 amidst lots of hype has lived up to the lofty expectations from fans across the world. The 5th film in the MonsterVerse franchise, which is a follow-up to the 2021 blockbuster, sees Godzilla and Kong reunite to fight an unknown threat hidden within the Earth that poses grave danger to humans and Titans alike.

The movie has now earned the stellar distinction of being the most successful MonsterVerse film ever through its box office collection. This achievement is even more significant when one compares it to 2017’s Kong: Skull Island which had two massive Marvel stars, Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston in the lead roles, but did not reach the box office glory of the 5th installment.

Shueisha, the publisher behind Weekly Shonen Jump, has high hopes for its newest manga series, Kagurabachi. The publisher’s confidence in the series was recently highlighted on the Japanese television program Manganuma, a show featuring discussions and recommendations about manga.
Kagurabachi, a revenge story following a young boy named Chihiro, has quickly gained popularity since its release, even receiving a recommendation from Animate Bookstore.
The manga’s first volume was praised on Manganuma for its compelling narrative and immediate success, with bookstores quickly selling out of copies.
The hosts of Manganuma shared a surprising anecdote during the segment, revealing they had lunch with a Shueisha representative who stated the company’s desire for Kagurabachi to “carry the next generation of Jump.”

This article contains spoilers for Hit Man.
“People are disappointed when they learn that hit men don’t really exist,” explains Gary Johnson. That might be a surprising statement given that it occurs early on in a movie called Hit Man. Throughout the film, Gary (Glen Powell) dons different disguises to meet with people who want to pay him money (or video games or boats) to kill people. But then again, it’s all a ruse, a police sting operation that mild-mannered teacher Gary does as a side gig.
As Gary explains, his job is to become the type of hitman that potential criminals imagine exists, so that he can embody that look and lure them into a state of safety. As smart as Gary certainly is, he doesn’t create these identities out of nothing. Rather he’s riffing on hired killers from pop culture history, which gives Powell...

Actors playing multiple roles within the same TV show isn’t uncommon, especially in cases of long-running shows. For example, Justin Theroux appeared in totally unrelated roles in Sex and the City. However, in the case of Lance Reddick, who tragically passed away last year, not two or three, the actor played five characters in the Law & Order franchise.
While most fans are familiar with Reddick’s Dr. Taylor from the Special Victims Unit, apart from this recurring character, the actor played an additional four different characters in the franchise.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die is a film about retribution and redemption. Not just on screen, but in execution. After their last attempt at a blockbuster was shelved in the name of a tax loophole, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah seem intent on unleashing all their pent-up energy, whether they’re selling us Batgirls or Bad Boys. Even if it bears the baggage of a meta redemption arc for its star, Ride or Die brings enough stylistic gusto to its action in the absence of Michael Bay but has a hard time justifying most other decisions, which adopt the tedium rampant in modern blockbuster filmmaking.
The infusion of Fast & Furious DNA into Bad Boys seemed inevitable by the third entry. Who could blame a long-dormant action franchise for taking its cues from one of the most prevalent (and successful) film series in the intervening 17 years? In the case of Ride or Die,...

Honk Kong’s Donnie Yen is known worldwide for his role in the martial arts action film Ip Man. The actor-fighter is known for his exceptional skills and stunt choreography and has starred not just in Chinese films, but also in American films such as Shanghai Nights, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, and more recently in John Wick: Chapter 4.
While Yen played a blind warrior named Caine in John Wick 4, it was not the first time that he played a blind warrior in an American film. He previously starred in Gareth Edwards’ Star Wars spinoff Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in which he played Chirrut Îmwe, a warrior who is part of the Guardians of the Whills. The idea to make him blind was reportedly Yen’s.

The BBC and BritBox International have secured A-list talent for their latest Agatha Christie adaptation.
Oscar-winner Anjelica Huston has been cast in Towards Zero, potentially the highest-profile actor to appear in a BBC Christie series since John Malkovich played Poirot in 2018’s The ABC Murders.
Huston will play the aunt of lead character Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). After a scandalous celebrity divorce, the British tennis star and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) make the unthinkable decision to spend a summer together at Gull’s Point, their childhood home and the coastal estate of Nevile’s aunt, Lady Tressilian (Huston).
Revealed by Deadline several months back, the series will star Jackie Clune (Motherland), Grace Doherty (Call the Midwife), Jack Farthing (Rain Dogs), Khalil Gharbia (Mary & George), Adam Hugill (Sherwood), Mimi Keene (Sex Education), Clarke Peters (The Wire), Emmy winner Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and Oliver Award-winner Anjana Vasan (Black Mirror:...

Brought you from the school of “let’s throw everything at the wall and see what sticks”, the latest instalment in the long-running Bad Boys franchise – the first film was released in 1995 – feels less like a real movie and more like an extended TikTok skit. Helmed by Belgian-Moroccan directing duo Adil & Bilall, Bad Boys: Ride or Die reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for the fourth time in the weakest film of the franchise so far.
When their recently murdered police captain gets falsely linked to drug cartels, Miami cops Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) embark on a race against time to clear their old mentor’s name. While Mike is apprehensive about their ability to uncover the conspiracy against their old boss, Marcus has deduced that a recent near-death experience has resulted in him becoming invincible.

Mark Wahlberg has led one too many daunting projects that are spread across multiple genres, with video game-based action pieces being among them as well.
Like his 2008 action/crime from Irish director John Moore, Max Payne, for one to count, which may have received lukewarm reviews but was quite a successful piece when it comes to its box office scores, especially in the US.

Needless to say, Wahlberg performed epically in the movie; to the point where, perhaps, no one could play the character in live-action better. That said, even Moore thought through this very perspective before making the movie.
If anything, the filmmaker just may have even canceled his $80 million movie, perhaps, had the actor not signed on to star in it.

After the earth-shattering success of Barbie, fans expected Ryan Gosling to deliver a summer blockbuster with The Fall Guy. Sadly, Gosling’s Kenergy seemed to fail in driving the audience to the theaters as it turned out to be a massive box office flop.
It must be noted that despite the poor box office results, the David Leitch brainchild did critically very well. Several critics claimed that the film was entertaining and was a solid one-time watch. However, some fans don’t share similar sentiments on Reddit after completing The Fall Guy.

Helldivers 2 provides players with an option to melee enemies but it is not very effective against strong enemies so players rarely ever try to get a melee kill. A Helldivers 2 fan has come up with a concept of melee finishers that take inspiration from the Medal of Honor and Assassin’s Creed video game series.

This cool concept was well-received by the fans and Arrowhead can certainly take notes from it. This is definitely something that should be in the game although it would only be effective against weaker enemies. These melee finishers are only showcased against Automaton units but it is certainly a good place to start.

Keanu Reeves has been entertaining audiences since the 90s with groundbreaking action films that have redefined the genre. Films like Point Break, The Matrix, and the John Wick franchises have become milestones in the genre. Additionally, Reeves is a fan of cinema in general and Star Wars has been a seminal franchise for the actor like many during the time of the original trilogy.

Most Star Wars fans will agree that the first two films in the original trilogy were the peak of the franchise and Return of the Jedi fell short of reaching the heights of the previous two films. Reeves was also let down by the film as he had huge expectations from it but it didn’t deliver in the way that he hoped.

House of the Dragon co-creator Ryan Condal had Matt Smith’s face in mind when he wrote the role of Daemon Targaryen in the series. Soon, he met with Smith to discuss the role along with co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik in 2020. Smith agreed to the role but he had his concerns about the series. He was worried that the series came too soon after Game of Thrones ended and that audiences had already seen this story.

Smith’s concerns were unfounded as the first season of the series received an overwhelmingly positive response from GoT fans. He is all set to return to the role in HoTD Season 2, which will focus on the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen Civil War between Rhaenyra’s team Black and Alicent’s team Green.

Put on any action movie made between 1903’s The Great Train Robbery and 2017’s John Wick, pay attention to the risks playing out before you, and you’ll never stop asking why the hell aren’t stunt performers lauded for their efforts by the Academy Awards. In the 1970s, one of the greatest and most underrated decades for action movies, you could still see every danger to life and limb on screen. CGI wasn’t around yet, and the law was barely paying attention.
The result is an era where bloody martial arts imports and Blaxploitation commentary blended with tight-wire action and terrifyingly real stunts. The very best remain iconic, from the Dirty Harrys to 1979’s global phenomenon, Mad Max. But with the passage of time comes forgetting, and the ‘70s hide some of the best, wildest, and sometimes even edgiest movies waiting for fans to rediscover.

When Welcome to Derry was announced, Bill Skarsgård initially stressed that he wasn’t involved with the production at the time, which will see Andy Muschietti return as one of its directors. The actor, who rose to prominence following his portrayal of the dancing clown, even lent advice on how an actor should approach the role if the prequel chooses to bring in a new actor for Pennywise.
However, following his new interview, in which the actor doesn’t rule out the idea of playing the clown again, fans are excited by the concept of Skarsgård potentially returning to the role.

Over the last three decades, Keanu Reeves has cemented himself as one of the leading men in Hollywood when it comes to action. From making The Matrix with The Wachowskis to performing most of his stunts in Chad Stahelski’s John Wick films, Reeves has deservedly earned himself the status of one of the best action stars of our time.
But while it was Point Break and Sandra Bullock’s Speed that gave him the boost in the action landscape, these films weren’t Reeves’ first introduction to the genre.
