The Empire Podcast: Julianne Moore & Michael Pearce, Ralph Fiennes & Jodie Comer

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

It's another packed episode of the Empire Podcast, the show that dares to ask the big questions: isn't the Mona Lisa just a woman sitting down? Who's the richest Northern Irish person? Can you buy stocks in Glen Powell?
Denis Villeneuve and Edgar Wright among 5 directors pitching for next James Bond

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

Ah, James Bond news, we've been expecting you... come in. With the status quo of everyone's favourite spy series (sorry Slow Horses) having been shaken and stirred in recent months with the announcements that Amazon has taken over creative control of the franchise from the Broccolis and that David Heyman and Amy Pascal will produce Bond's next outing, the internet — and the movie industry at large — is abuzz with discussions about who will lead 007's big-screen return.
Nicholas Hoult On Getting Weird In Superman, Nosferatu And Beyond

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Hayley Campbell

Lately, things have been increasingly weird for Nicholas Hoult. Then again, his characters have always been kind of weird. When we first met him in About A Boy 23 years ago, he played a socially awkward kid determined to secure himself a stepdad in the event his mother (Toni Collette) killed herself. Then in Skins, the TV show that made him far more famous than he was comfortable with, he played the manipulative, morally dubious Tony Stonem.
David Fincher's Mindhunter could return — but it wouldn't be as a Netflix series

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

If you are a fan of David Fincher's Netflix crime series Mindhunter and happen to have any salt to hand, then now would be an appropriate time to take a big ol' pinch of it. Ever since Season 2 ended six years ago, lovers of Fincher's show — which follows the FBI's profiling and serial killer interviewing processes in its late 70s/early 80s infancy — have been clamouring for a third instalment, despite the big man himself having pronounced Mindhunter dead (or as good as) back in 2020.
Kathryn Bigelow Netflix thriller A House Of Dynamite sets October release date

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

Somehow, it's been eight long years since we last locked in for a new white-knuckle movie from action auteur Kathryn Bigelow. And we'll be honest, cinema just ain't quite the same without the director behind The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Point Break, and more giving us palpitations. And that's where A House Of Dynamite, Bigelow's new — and now officially named — Netflix bound movie, comes in.
Blumhouse buys Saw rights as James Wan reunites with iconic horror franchise

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

After two less than inspiring attempts to revive the iconic Saw franchise with 2017's Jigsaw and 2020's Chris Rock star vehicle Spiral: From The Book Of Saw, it had seemed for a spell as if Jigsaw's days of morally iffy self-mutilation mongering were finally over. But if this horror saga has taught us one thing, it's that nobody — not even Saw itself — is ever really dead.
28 Years Later

Raised in a survivors’ colony on Holy Island, 12-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams) takes a rite-of-passage trip to the infection-ravaged English mainland with his dad (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Original Title:28 Years LaterDanny Boyle and Alex Garland have never made obvious choices. Take 2002’s 28 Days Later in which they — Boyle as director, Garland as screenwriter — revolutionised zombie cinema with sprinting, blood-vomiting hordes.

1, 2, 3, 4! As the second half of the year approaches, and awards season begins to appear on the horizon, it is – once again – music biopic time. And this year it’s the turn of Bruce Springsteen, the legendary New Jersey rock icon, who’s getting the big-screen treatment in a film now titled Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere (it previously didn’t have his name on there), from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper.
Dune 3 casts Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke as key Atreides family members

1 week ago | empireonline.com | Jordan King

When it comes to casting for his Dune movies, Denis Villeneuve — like the Reverend Mother Mohiam and her Bene Gesserit cohort — doesn't hope, he plans. Which is why, with production on the Quebecois filmmaker's adaptation of Dune: Messiah expected to get underway soon, we're beginning to receive word on who'll be joining Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya in Villeneuve's spicy sci-fi threequel.
