Exclusive: Abigail Spencer (Suits), Holt McCallany (Mindhunter), and Lucas Till (MacGyver) have been tapped for supporting roles in Clean Hands, the true-life drama from writer-director Jake Allyn on which we were first to report last month.

The trio is set to star opposite previously announced leads Zach Braff and Esther McGregor, with production now underway.

Set in Hagerstown MD, a Baltimore suburb along the infamous “Heroin Highway,” Clean Hands explores the American drug crisis through the lens of a father-daughter duo caught on opposing sides of the law, based on the harrowing story of hero drug cop turned recovery advocate Kevin Simmers (Braff) and his daughter Brooke (McGregor).

Spencer will portray Kevin’s wife Dana, while McCallany will play Maryland Congressman David Trone and Lucas Till will play Sheriff’s Deputy Dormer.

Producers include Conor Allyn of Margate House Films, Brian Loschiavo of Riverside Entertainment, James Suttles and Jason Winn of WW / Sf Entertainment,...

Exclusive: Chris Coy has joined the cast of HBO’s upcoming drama series Lanterns, based on the Green Lantern DC comic.

In a guest starring role, Coy will play the new character of ‘Waylon Sanders,’ an intelligent survivor or a nervous truck driver. Age and real name unknown, he’s unbound by the laws of nature.

He joins the previously announced cast: Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly MacDonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Ulrich Thomsen, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Jason Ritter and Nathan Fillion.

The series, from Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King, follows new recruit John Stewart (Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

Westerns have always worked uncommonly well with ghost stories, which occupy a small part of their ethos and can be readily used to serve story needs. Crossovers aren't entirely common, but have produced some striking movies and TV shows. They run the gamut from bloody updates of traditional Westerns like Bone Tomahawk to wilder genre mash-ups like From Dusk Til Dawn, and while the best of them tend to be modern, the roots of Western horror stretch back to the pulp days.

It should come as no surprise that one of the best old-school examples of Western horror came with Rod Serling's classic seriesThe Twilight Zone. Cowboys were all the rage when the series first premiered, and multiple episodes used Western tropes as the jumping-off point for their various spooky premises. One of them -- Season 3, Episode 7, "The Grave" -- is as good as anything The Twilight Zone has ever produced.

John Wayne still ranks among today’s most popular movie stars, even though he died in 1979 at the age of 72. In a legendary screen acting career that encompasses more than 140 feature film roles and spans 50 years, Wayne was listed by movie theater owners as being among Hollywood’s 10 most bankable stars for 25 years between 1949 and 1974, the longest run of any star in history, followed by Clint Eastwood at 21, and Tom Cruise at 20.

Wayne still holds great influence in pop culture, especially the Western genre, which he redefined so completely throughout his career that he essentially became the genre. While Wayne’s Western masterpieces hold timeless appeal, several of his initially underappreciated Western films have received increasing appreciation over the past 40 years. One of these is the 1972 Western film The Cowboys, in which Wayne plays Wil Andersen, an aging rancher who is forced to seek the help of a group of...

Legend and mythmaking are the backbone of the Western genre. As the classic John Ford Western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance once emphasized, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." If this sentiment serves as the epigraph to the genre, then the mascot of legend-making would undeniably be one of the stars of Liberty Valance and a countless number of Westerns, John Wayne. Symbolizing the ideal American patriot, Wayne's films and screen presence are still revered today, but his earnest and simplistic approach to portraying morally complex cowboys and law enforcement figures is pastiche. While his films with Ford and Howard Hawks were often probing and revisionist, Wayne, partially due to his outspoken nationalist political views, feels rooted in fantasy. However, there is one Western of his, The Cowboys, described as one of the most accurate portraits of the Wild West.

The following contains spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 12, "Counting Coup," which premiered Sunday, December 1 on Paramount Network.

The cowboy life isn't a safe one, especially on Yellowstone. Every season takes a life, whether good or bad, on the modern Western series based in Montana, but Season 5 has racked up the casualties. First, it was John Dutton, who was assassinated in a plot orchestrated by Sarah Atwood. Then it was Sarah Atwood herself, who received a taste of her own medicine in Season 5, Episode 11. Now it's Colby Mayfield, one of the longest standing cowboys that's been a part of the Yellowstone ranch since Season 1.

What hurts the most about Colby's shocking death in Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 12, is that he's the least deserving of it. John and Sarah had plenty of blood on their hands by the time of their deaths, making their endings a karmic resolution to their arcs. While Colby definitely committed questionable actions,...

Since the dawn of Hollywood, Westerns have been some of the most acclaimed, respected, and best-written stories in Hollywood, from classics like High Noon to modern hits like Django Unchained. Focusing on everything from sheriffs and bounty hunters to outlaws and even ghosts, the genre has one of the best-defined formulas in film. From beloved tropes to repetitive clichs, the Old West still knows how to please audiences.

While the use of the Western formula can sometimes make even the best movies feel predictable, some things happen so often that they're expected as part of the experience. Although some movies master these tropes better than others, audiences still enjoy seeing them all the same. From locations to character motivations, the Wild West wouldn't be what it is without certain ingredients keeping it familiar.

If Bethesda games, like Starfield, are known for anything other than their massive worlds, it would be their modding communities. Thanks to the Creation Kit modding tool that has been supplied with most of Bethesda's projects, very few titles have had the capacity for modding that the company's games do. The capacity for modding is so great that these mods have even made it to consoles, with Starfield supporting player-made content for the Xbox Series X/S.

Mods can greatly change the experience of a game. Provided that mod authors have made it, anything can be added to a game, from lightsabers to replacing dragons with Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends in Skyrim. Starfield is no exception, and many of the most popular mods for Xbox objectively improve the gaming experience. These can include bug fixes, AI improvements, and new skills.

While John Wayne had success in several film genres, including romantic dramas and war films, Wayne is, of course, best remembered for his unsurpassed dominance in the Western genre, in which Wayne won his only Academy Award for his performance in the 1969 Western True Grit.

One of Waynes last great Western films is the 1972 Western The Cowboys, in which he plays Wil Andersen, an aging rancher who is forced to seek the help of a group of schoolboys to help Andersen execute a 400-mile cattle drive. Through this relationship, The Cowboys provides a sweet mixture of adventure and drama, as Andersen becomes a mentor to the boys, who gain an appreciation and understanding of cowboy life.

However, The Cowboys is best remembered for Waynes shocking death scene. While Wayne died on screen in several films, the sadistic nature of Waynes death scene in The Cowboys cast a pall over the film,...

Daniel Craig is best known for his role as Agent 007 in the James Bond films. Starting with 2006’s Casino Royale, the actor played the role for fifteen years, ending his tenure with 2021’s No Time To Die. The actor was reportedly happy to exit the role and has since starred in Knives Out and will be seen in the upcoming Queer.

However, one film reportedly trumped his horror at playing Bond repeatedly. The actor spoke about the early scenes that director David Fincher showed from their collaboration The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Craig mentioned that he was horrified at the visuals and could not believe the free rein he got from the studio.

Rockstar's modern masterpiece, Red Dead Redemption 2, does not shy away from tragedy. Historically accurate to an almost painful degree, Red Dead Redemption 2 depicts the the full harshness of the American West. Despite being romanticized by popular fiction, the 19th century's American West was a brutal place to live, with death ever present. This uncomfortable truth comes across no more clearly than with Arthur Morgan, whose tragic fate mirrors that of an iconic real-world outlaw.

[Warning: Spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2's story.]Over the course of Read Dead Redemption 2, Arthur does, as the name implies, find redemption, and comes to see the inherent beauty of the world, but his heroic journey costs him his life. Near the beginning of the game, Arthur contracts tuberculosis and slowly dies, becoming more and more sickly as the game progresses. By RDR2's end, Arthur is a shell of his formal muscular self, with sunken, red eyes and an emaciated frame.

The late Cormac McCarthy wrote twelve acclaimed and legendary novels, but surprisingly, only five of them have ever managed to make their way into film adaptations. Out of those select five, however, by far the most memorable and well-regarded of them has undoubtedly been the Coen Brothers' 2006 adaptation of No Country For Old Men. When the film was released, it was a massive success, not just critically but commercially as well.

The Cowboys from 1972 is seen as one of Wayne's last great Westerns and has been praised for its authenticity. Wayne's death in The Cowboys shocked audiences, and was a rare occurrence for the iconic star. The film received positive reviews for its blend of adventure and drama, with a bittersweet ending that resonated with viewers.

John Wayne's The Cowboys has been praised for its authenticity and also provided its star with one of his best moviemaking experiences. Despite fronting romantic dramas, war epics or cop movies, Wayne will forever be remembered for his Western roles. John Wayne fronted 80 Westerns during his long career, ranging from evergreen greats like The Searchers to lesser outings like Rio Lobo. Even as the genre's fortunes waned moving into the 1970s, Wayne was one of the few stars still fronting Westerns, including his final film, The Shootist.

Western and science fiction movies, at their surface, never seemed to mix. As times changed and bleaker ideas of what the future held were being explored in visual media, the reality of Western genre ideologies and anti-heroes seemed to slot into the science fiction genre seamlessly. Star Wars, Blade Runner, and the original Battlestar Galactica paved the way for this genre blending with their "used and dirty space" aesthetics, obvious political and corporate commentaries, and gunslinging escapades. These aspects were met with the full embrace of this new genre in its most literal forms as it continued to grow.

The following article contains extensive spoilers for the Netflix series Griselda.Immortalized as the "Cocaine Godmother," Griselda Blanco proved a cartel mastermind, earning her treacherous reputation as "The Black Widow of Medellín." Few were so ruthless as Blanco, always on the lookout for an opportunity, showing no sympathy toward anyone she deemed disloyal.

Jon Favreau's "Iron Man" and Louis Leterrier's "The Incredible Hulk" (both 2008) in many important ways weren't yet part of the then-nascent Marvel Cinematic Universe when they were first made. Favreau put in a post-credits stinger with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury more as a wink to fans than as an announcement that larger film projects were afoot. Additionally, Downey's cameo in "Incredible" was treated equally casually, with the actors reportedly improvising their dialogue. It would only be until after Disney purchased the Marvel library in 2009 that plans for an MCU would be put into place in earnest. In many ways, then, it would be Favreau's "Iron Man 2" in 2010 that launched the MCU properly and put plans for an "Avengers" feature film into motion.

Modern Westerns have reinvented the genre by doing away with harmful stereotypes and incorporating other genres like sci-fi and comedy. Movies like Cowboys & Aliens and Rango have combined the Old West with elements like aliens and anthropomorphic animals, adding a unique twist to the genre. Films like No Country for Old Men and Django Unchained have modernized the Western genre by incorporating crime and revenge storylines, creating compelling and gritty narratives.

Westerns have been around for over a century, yet many movies over the last few decades have reinvented the genre. The Great Train Robbery, released in 1903, is considered the start of the Western film genre. Since then, hundreds of different Westerns have graced the screen and many, like Unforgiven​​​​​​, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Cimarron, have won major awards.

The latest entry in the Predator film series arrived on Hulu to great critical acclaim, with many highlighting the simple yet genius pitch of the movie.

When Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) saw the T. rex appear out of nowhere and attack a Gallimimus, he told Tim and Lex that they’d “never look at birds the same way again.” What Jurassic Park was arguing at the time — in that hoary old age when blockbusters argued — was the relatively recent theory that theropods share a closer lineage with birds than lizards. Up until that point, the popular image of the dinosaur was largely rendered by artist Charles R. Knight, whose upright, tail-dragging Tyrannosaurus and swamp-based Brontosaurus were borrowed for The Lost World (1925) and King Kong (1933). As movie monsters, they were brought to life by Willis O’Brien, the Oscar-winning effects pioneer who invented stop-motion animation. One of his movie ideas, Emilio and Guloso, alternatively The Valley of the Mist, was completed in 1969 by his protégé Ray Harryhausen and director Jim O'Connolly as The Valley of Gwangi. Bearing...

For three decades, Julio César Cedillo has been delivering authentic, nuanced, fully realized performances in films and television series such as Sicario, Cowboys and Aliens, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Narcos Mexico, and the new Netflix film Chupa, to name just a few. In this hour, he generously shares what he’s learned from being a “lunchbox actor,” doing this work he loves. He talks about why, as an actor who happens to be Mexican, his first read of a script is a “search for traps.” Through stories detailing his experiences on set, he explains why it’s better to ask for forgiveness […]

While the golden age of Westerns may be long over, the cowboys and gunslingers that the genre popularized live on as some of the most enduring characters in film. Cowboys are still screen icons today as TV shows like Yellowstone and Justified harken back to the days of the Old West. Even though cowboy movies exist as a niche category today, the best Westerns are still regarded as some of the greatest movies of all time.

With the Sam Raimi-produced 65 now playing in theaters, genre fans are getting something we’ve been craving for years – a big budget dinosaur thriller Not part of the Jurassic Park franchise. The film’s premise of an astronaut crash landing on Earth during the age of the dinosaurs sounds exactly like something that would have hit theaters and drive-ins back in the 60s and 70s when a healthy stream of dinosaur themed B-movie fare was released.

65 seems like a perfect genre mash-up of sci-fi and survival horror. Back in 1969, another genre hybrid about dinosaurs was set loose – The Valley of Gwangi. The hook? Cowboys vs. dinosaurs. Hell, if the movie came out today I guarantee that Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs would be the title.

The Valley of Gwangi was spearheaded by stop motion effects legend Ray Harryhausen and his long-time producing partner, Charles Schneer. Harryhausen needs no introduction. His...

When we next see Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’ll have a new gig, and it’s a mighty impressive one. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige spoke with Entertainment Weekly about all things Marvel earlier today, and while talking about Captain America: New World Order, he mentioned that Ross will be the President of the United States in the movie.

“This is certainly a big part for Thaddeus Ross,” Kevin Feige said. “He’s the president of the United States in the film. And with Harrison, you think about Air Force One, and you think about some of his confrontations with the president in Clear and Present Danger. There’s a dynamic between President Ross and Sam Wilson. They have a history together, but in this film, we’ll be seeing the dynamic between Captain America and the president of the United States in a way that is just incredible.

Marvel doesn’t want you to forget that Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, which released a new TV spot during the Buccaneers and Cowboys wild card game, will be available in 3D. The studio’s also busy hyping the fact the film was shot with IMAX cameras, and if you buy the more expensive ticket, you’ll be treated to 26 more picture due to IMAX’s 1.90:1 aspect ratio.

The first film in phase five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp, Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne, Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, and Kathryn Newton as Cassie Lang. All six are featured on new character posters that accompanied the TV spot’s release.

The cast also includes David Dastmalchian as Veb, Katy O’Brian as Jentorra, William Jackson Harper as Quaz,...
