In the 1960s, a bunch of white lads from the home counties of England formed a band that tried to imitate the blues music they so admired being made by black musicians across the pond. It doesn’t sound all that cool, does it? Thankfully for everyone, somewhere along the way they landed on one of the most influential and definitive sounds of 20th-century music.

Before they started production on Warfare – A24's new all action war movie, co-director and writer Ray Mendoza had one piece of advice for the cast: “start working out.” Even before that, Mendoza had established that it would be essential for the film to only cast guys who were in fairly decent shape already. “That was kind of a prerequisite,” he says.

In December of last year, A24 released a trailer for Warfare which featured some of the hottest young male talent in Hollywood – Joseph Quinn, Will Poulter, Charles Melton, Kit Connor – playing members of a Navy SEAL platoon that comes under fire during a deployment.

So! We have our first casting confirmations for the . Some were already heavily rumoured (Papa Essiedu as Snape, Janet McTeer as McGonagall), some were nigh-on confirmed already (John Lithgow as Dumbledore) – but one came out of nowhere, had no preceding rumours, and is, for our money, the most exciting of the lot. Paul Whitehouse will play curmudgeonly Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch.

As casting rumours zip around with the speed and unpredictability of a Golden Snitch, GQ's HBO Harry Potter cast power list is updated frequently. When you think about it, 13 years — yes, it has been almost a decade and a half since The Deathly Hallows Pt.

It’s hard to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere in London. But after dark, the Palm Tree feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s not even on a street: once the joint connecting two perpendicular terraces of housing, it survives as a lone island of architecture amid the horticultured surrounds of Mile End Park. If you find it, you’ve been looking for it. Plenty do look, and plenty find — mostly on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, when the Palm Tree hosts their jazz nights.

Seth Rogen's The Studio is chock-full of more cameos than your average Marvel film. And for good reason: being a show about a fictional movie studio, in which co-creator Rogen also plays the lead role of studio head Matt Remick, it's perfectly poised to feature plenty of familiar Hollywood faces. Many of which appear in The Studio, almost invariably playing fictionalized versions of themselves. And a joyful time is had by all, even if the cameos entail a little bit of light self-ribbing.

If you’ve seen Jason Statham, you’ve admired Jason Statham. At 57 years of age, the market-seller-turned-high-diver-turned-Tommy-Hilfiger-model-turned-actor is still strutting around in positively bulletproof shape. He twists, kicks, punches and elbows his way through fight scenes like a man half his age and then some, doing it all with a look on his face that suggests he isn’t even finding it that hard. If you’ve admired Jason Statham in his movies, then you've also admired the work of Eddie J.
