Armie Hammer joined Bill Maher on his “Club Random” podcast for a rare interview since a series of sexual misconduct and abuse allegations derailed his career.
The “Call Me by Your Name” and “The Social Network” star said he was grateful for the fallout because “had none of this gone on … my life would have kept going exactly as it was. And I know that that would ultimately only lead in one place, and that’s death.”
After sexual assault allegations surfaced against Hammer, the actor exited a number of film and television projects and was dropped by his publicist and agent at WME. The LAPD and L.A. District Attorney’s office investigated the claims in 2023 and brought no criminal charges against Hammer due to “insufficient evidence.” Hammer denies the allegations and holds that his often “intense” sexual relationships with the accusers were consensual.

It’s the British romantic dramedy event of the year.
On Wednesday, A24 released the trailer for “We Live in Time,” a moments-in-life romance film starring Academy Award nominees Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh (“Little Women”).
The film, which is directed by BAFTA winner John Crowley (“Brooklyn”) and written by Tony nominee Nick Payne (“Constellations”), follows Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) through major moments in their lives together, from their painful meet-cute (Almut hits Tobias with her car) to raising their daughter to Almut being treated for cancer. It appears to be a stylish tearjerker powered by the charisma of two of contemporary film’s most emotionally vulnerable actors.
If you’ve ever lamented that they don’t make movies like “About Time” anymore, this one is for you.
In addition to Garfield and Pugh, the cast includes Adam James, Marama Corlett, and Aoife Hinds. Leah Clarke, Adam Ackland, Guy Heeley are producers,...

Quentin Tarantino regularly talks about the movies and TV shows he loves, for example, he named The Social Network and Dunkirk as the best projects of the 2010s. And the director is willing to talk endlessly about his favorite movies, which include both period dramas like There Will Be Blood and trashy B-movies.
In one of the interviews, the director harshly criticized the modern crime classic True Detective, calling it "boring," but at the same time he shared a series he liked so much that he watched it three times.
And that show is The Newsroom, created and written by Aaron Sorkin – the same man who wrote the screenplay for The Social Network, which Tarantino praised so highly. Quentin said:
“That was the only show that I literally watched three times. I would watch it at seven o’clock on Sunday, when the new one would come on. Then after it was over,...

“Inside Out 2” roared into cinema in June, becoming Pixar’s highest-grossing film in a debut weekend of all time, while its current worldwide haul at this time of writing stands at just over one billion.
The first movie — one of the most ingenious films of this century — took audiences inside the head of young Riley as she navigated a move to a new city while her emotions tried to guide her through the move in her head. This second film brings back those emotions as Riley goes through her teenage years. But Joy and Sadness and the gang have to deal with several new emotions in headquarters, including Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Ennui.
But while the film marches towards $1 billion at the box office, could it also be marching towards awards glory? Well, animated flicks don’t get the justice they deserve when it comes to the Academy Awards. So often,...

It’s always a cultural event when a celebrity is arrested, but often enough, people are willing to forgive someone who has starred in great movies, dazzled as a pro athlete, or recorded favorite hit singles. Justin Timberlake, however, can no longer trade on his history with ‘NSync or his peak as a solo artist to stay in the public’s good graces: when he was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons early on Tuesday morning, the resounding consensus on social media was that he deserved the embarrassment.

One day after Justin Timberlake was arrested and charged with Dwi, his attorney Edward Burke Jr. is speaking out on behalf of the singer.
“I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake on these allegations,” Burke said in a statement provided to Deadline. “I will have a lot to say at the appropriate time but am currently awaiting full discovery from the District Attorney’s office.”
Police say Timberlake was pulled over Monday night in Sag Harbor, NY, after he ran through a stop sign and his 2025 BMW was weaving along the road.
He was arrested and charged with one felony count of Dwi. He was released on his own recognizance following his arraignment in Sag Harbor Justice Court.
He is next scheduled to virtually appear in court on July 26, the same day he’s set to begin a two-night stand in Krakow, Poland as part of his upcoming world tour.

What happens when the rule of law applies equally to all, irrespective of fame & accolades? In a display of unbiased duty, a young officer in the Sag Harbor Police Department upheld this very principle when Justin Timberlake, the ten-time Grammy-winning artist, 43, known for lighting up stages worldwide, found himself on the sobering end of the law’s impartiality.
Reportedly, Timberlake was recently arrested on Dwi-related charges, painting a stark picture that even stars are not above the law. The Everything I Thought It Was hitmaker was taken into custody on Tuesday, according to a statement from the Sag Harbor Police, after it was discovered that he was “operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition”.

Who would make for the more uncomfortable travel partner, Roman Roy or Mark Zuckerberg?
That’s a question you’ll ponder while watching the new trailer for “A Real Pain,” a road trip dramedy starring Emmy-winning “Succession” star Kieran Culkin and Oscar-nominated “The Social Network” star Jesse Eisenberg. Eisenberg is also the writer and director.
Eisenberg and Culkin play David and Benji, respectively. They’re cousins who are very different from each other and take a trip across Poland to honor their beloved late grandmother, who survived the Holocaust and escaped the country. Long-standing tensions between them resurface as they get deeper into their family history.
In addition to Eisenberg and Culkin, the cast includes Will Sharpe (“The White Lotus”), Jennifer Grey (“Dirty Dancing”), Kurt Egyiawan (“House of the Dragon”), Liza Sadovy (“A Small Light”), Daniel Oreskes (“Only Murders in the Building”), and Ellora Torchia (“Midsommar”).

Armie Hammer is speaking out about the allegations of cannibalism, sexual misconduct and an accusation of rape that upended his career three years ago, saying this weekend that he is “grateful” for the experience.
Hammer, 37, was experiencing a career resurgence after he received high praise for roles in 2017’s Call Me by Your Name and Sorry to Bother You the next year, after nearly a decade of struggling to break through following his standout turn as the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network. Then in January 2021, an anonymous Instagram account published what were claimed to be text messages Hammer had sent to various women that included dark sexual fantasies and a reference to cannibalism.
That same month, his ex Courtney Vucekovich detailed to Page Six the emotional abuse she said she experienced in the relationship; Vucekovich said this led her to enter the hospital with Ptsd. The cannibal chatter around...

Three years after facing allegations of sexual abuse, assault and even cannibalism, actor Armie Hammer says he is “grateful” for everything he’s gone through.
Hammer commented in an appearance on the Painful Lessons podcast hosted by his friend, Tyler Ramsey. Ramsey asked Hammer to discuss how he got through losing his career after the 2021 scandal.
“Whatever it was that people said, whatever it was that happened, I’m now at a place in my life where I’m grateful for every single bit of it,” the 36-year-old actor said.
Hammer recalled before the allegations, he was never satisfied with himself. He credits the scandal with forcing him to learn self-love and validation.
“I never knew how to give myself love. I never knew how to give myself self-validation, but I had this job where I was able to get it from so many people that I never had to...

Three years after facing allegations that changed the course of his career, Armie Hammer has opened up about the allegations and how they impacted him. The actor gained recognition with his work in movies like The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name. However, he suffered a major setback when he was accused of s*xual abuse and inappropriate behavior by several women.

The leaked messages he allegedly sent to women about his cannibalistic fantasies and s*xual fetishes, led Hammer to lose several of his projects. In a recent appearance on the Painful Lessons podcast, the actor reflected on these allegations.

Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg talked, quipped, traded barbs and compliments and debated process in an hourlong wacky Tribeca Festival conversation tonight, having clearly bonded over A Real Pain. They star as mismatched cousins on a fraught road trip in the buzzy Sundance comedy set for fall release.
Eisenberg (Fleishman Is In Trouble) wrote and directed the film and said he’d never seen Culkin’s work before casting him. Or nothing recent. He acknowledged he’d seen Home Alone 17 times. The 1990 film was Culkin’s first feature. He played a small part alongside his brother, Macaulay Culkin. “I had no idea what the f–king movie was about” at the time, Culkin reminisced.
“You’re a magical person in my mind, because I don’t think I’ve ever really seen you in almost anything. And then, when I thought about you in the movie, I purposefully didn’t watch anything.

Even if you don’t recognize the name of Aaron Sorkin, his works certainly speak for him. We all know such cinema masterpieces as Tom Cruise’s A Few Good Men (1992), Jesse Eisenberg’s The Social Network (2010) and Brad Pitt’s Moneyball (2011).
It is Sorkin who is the author of these movies’ screenplays and who is known as a master of dialogue. However, few people know he was also very much of a TV showrunner, and his first dramedy series is still hailed by fans, almost 25 years later.
Its plot focuses on two employees of a fictional TV channel who start a sports news show aired at night and face the network’s constant pressure. However, the talent of its anchors is the main key for making it through the challenges of the TV.

“Full House” and “Fuller House” creator Jeff Franklin is set to produce a new horror film, “Murder with the Stars.” Craig Shoemaker penned the screenplay and will serve as a producer, with Jonathan Silverman set to direct and act in the movie.
“This concept came to me several months ago, and I knew I was onto something unique and fun,” Shoemaker said. “Since then, the creative process has unfolded effortlessly with two old friends signing on, Jonathan Silverman and Jeff Franklin. It’s a killer team. In the case of this horror film, pun intended.”
“Murder with the Stars” will be created in partnership with Jaclyn and Ike Suri of Pelican Point Media, a film finance and production company, that has produced horror and comedy films like the 2016 thriller “Exposed,” starring Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves. Silverman is repped by Authentic Talent and Brave Artists, and Shoemaker is repped by Innovative Artists.

Jesse Eisenberg has applied for Polish citizenship. In a recent interview with the Polish publication “Głos Wielkopolski,” he said he applied for it nine months ago and is now “waiting for the final signature.”
“My family is from the southeast, from Krasnystaw, my wife’s [Anna Strout] family is from Łódź. We wanted to have a greater connection to Poland. I would like to work here more,” he said.
“Growing up, I’ve heard stories of the Polish relationship with my Jewish family and all the stories were great: we were best friends with the Poles.

Few singers were as good at making music videos as Madonna. Madonna’s “Express Yourself” inspired one of her best clips but it has a major error. The video doesn’t totally sync with the music! One of Madonna’s most famous producers explained why this is the case.
The music video for Madonna’s ‘Express Yourself’ has nonsensical horns
Shep Pettibone is a dance music artist who is most known for his work on Madonna’s “Vogue,” as well as some of her lesser-known singles such as “Deeper and Deeper,” “This Used to Be My Playground,” and “Erotica.” Before that, he crafted remixes for the Material Girl. During a 2015 interview with Billboard, Pettibone explained how one of his remixes created an incongruity in the “Express Yourself” music video.
“[The ‘Express Yourself’ remix] was a total reproduction and I totally rewrote the music,” he recalled. “And I really started from scratch with ‘Express Yourself.

While most of the hype is gained by actors, it is the writers’ guild who are unspoken heroes that deserve more recognition. The right screenplay and, in particular, the well-written lines make a movie catchy and unforgettable for the audience.
While Quentin Tarantino’s works are considered the best in this respect, there are some other films with perfect onscreen conversations. Here are 6 of them, picked by Reddit.
Snatch (2000)
Guy Ritchie’s iconic crime comedy about London’s criminal underworld is truly the right choice if you’re searching for a perfectly-written flick. The showdowns of small-time gangsters and powerful mafiosos are here extremely razor-sharp and entertaining.
True Grit (2010)
The Coen Brothers can certainly teach the art of dialogue, and it’s proved by their successful remake of the 1969 classic Western. The story of a girl on her way to avenge her father’s killer is enhanced by the writing...

Nicolas Cage is going to star in the upcoming independent horror film titled Longlegs. While the film looks very modern, it’s actually a throwback to one Old Hollywood icon. Interestingly the director of Longlegs has a major connection to the icon in question.
Nicolas Cage’s ‘Longlegs’ was inspired by 1 of the best directors ever
Longlegs will be directed by Oz Perkins. So far, Perkins is most famous for his films I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and Gretel & Hansel. During a 2020 interview with Polygon, Perkins discussed Longlegs, saying it was inspired by the work of cinematic legend Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock is remembered for horror films and thrillers such as Psycho, The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo, and North by Northwest. His movies often have good humor and a psychosexual subtext. Hitchcock might be the most acclaimed director of all time, with Stanley Kubrick being his only real rival.

Andrew Garfield is one of the best film stars of this generation, who has always captivated his audience. Throughout his career, his work has been recognized and praised, as he consistently and dedicatedly displayed his passion for acting by taking on different roles in various genres of films.

Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network, Gone Girl. There's hardly anyone who hasn't seen, let alone heard, all of these movies and the name of the man behind them, David Fincher. From Alien 3 to The Killer with Michael Fassbender, from House of Cards to Love, Death & Robots, Fincher's career is now in its fourth decade and his films have collectively grossed over $2.1 billion. But of course, no matter how original his work, even a director as innovative as Fincher is inspired by the achievements of filmmakers who came before him. Here is a list of 26 films that David Fincher has cited as his favorites.

10. The Social Network (2010)
While not following the exact events of Facebook’s creation, The Social Network gives a great idea of how it came to be. There once was a student whose girlfriend dumped him, and in spite of her, he created a website where guys could rate girls based on their looks. The site became popular, and things started spiraling up…
You can watch The Social Network on Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.
9. The Man Who Knew Infinity (2015)
Most of us can’t truly comprehend the ethereal world of mathematics, but some people know infinity — almost literally. This movie follows the life and relationships of a brilliant Indian mathematician whose friendship and collaboration with his teacher resulted in a series of breakthroughs but who suffered an unjustly grim fate.

Jesse Eisenberg has made a career out of playing socially awkward characters who find themselves in an extraordinary situation. The actor hit the peak of this trope when he was cast as Mark Zuckerberg in David Fincher’s The Social Network. The film was universally acclaimed and was nominated in eight categories at the Oscars, winning three.
Amidst screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who adapted the first film from the book The Accidental Billionaires, talking about working on a sequel to the film, actor Jesse Eisenberg had expressed his enthusiasm at getting another stab at playing the billionaire long ago. However, he was not that hopeful about playing another billionaire he had played before – Lex Luthor.

Jesse Eisenberg is well known among cinema lovers for his roles in films like The Social Network, Zombieland, and the Now You See Me franchise. Besides acting, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor is also renowned for his writing and directing skills. According to the actor, the Breaking Bad fame Bob Odenkirk played a crucial part in his writing career.

Back in 2022, world champion chess player Magnus Carlsen quit the Sinquefield Cup pro tournament in St. Louis, Missouri, after a surprising loss to a 19-year-old, Hans Niemann. What started as a speculative drama about why Carlsen quit or how Niemann won in the first place quickly spiraled into accusations of cheating, an unsuccessful legal battle, and what’s considered to be the biggest scandal in chess history. Now, that story is receiving the film treatment at A24.
Emma Stone will produce the cheating scandal film alongside Dave McCary, her husband and production partner.

After more than proving his directing mettle with Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder entered another echelon with The Curse, helming seven episodes (including the mind-bending finale). Now, the comedian, actor, writer, and director has notched another step in his filmmaking ascendancy with the announcement of his feature directorial debut.
THR reports he’ll reteam with The Curse star and producer Emma Stone and her company Fruit Tree for Checkmate, which A24 has picked up. With Fielder on board to direct and Stone on as producer, the film is an adaptation from a forthcoming book by Ben Mezrich, whose works have been adapted into The Social Network and Dumb Money.

Emma Stone knows to stick with what is working as she follows up her 2023 projects (which have garnered significant attention) with more from the same collaborators. Stone recently won an Academy Award for her performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things. Lanthimos would also already release a trailer for his next film, Kinds of Kindness, earlier this year and Stone is among the principal cast. Other than Poor Things, last year, Stone would star in a limited series for Showtime with comedic actor Nathan Fielder in a surreal dark comedy called The Curse, which would also feature a collaboration with Benny Safdie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stone will also be reuniting with Fielder for another project with A24. The indie studio that features a bevy of off-beat films has recently had its biggest title with Civil War, and the company played its moves aggressively to beat out bigger studios for Checkmate.

Following the success of The Curse, Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder are again teaming with A24 to produce Checkmate, a movie based on the chess world’s biggest scandal.
Chess can be absorbing subject material for drama, whether it’s a glossy period piece such as Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit, or more left-field takes like 2013’s Computer Chess. Perhaps chess movies are like Robin Hood projects: there are always several in development in Hollywood and it becomes a strategic game of, well… erm, chess to see who can put one together first.
The latest chess project is being produced by Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder, and A24 have reportedly spent a seven-figure sum to secure the rights to it. Why the buzz? Well, the film will be based on the biggest scandal the chess world has seen in recent years, dramatising the events of the ‘controversial 2022 head-to-head match between Grandmasters Magnus Carlsen,...

Following the success of “The Curse,” Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder and A24 are teaming up again to take on the cutthroat world of chess.
The studio has won the rights to the hot feature package “Checkmate,” based on a book proposal by author Ben Mezrich, whose works were adapted into “The Social Network” and “Dumb Money.”
The story centers on what has been described as the “biggest scandal in the history of chess,” following the controversial 2022 head-to-head match between Grandmasters Magnus Carlsen, then world champion, and Hans Niemann, during which the latter was accused of cheating.
After a competitive situation in which multiple studios and streamers showed interest in the project, A24 nabbed the rights thanks to a reported seven-figure offer. The deals are still in the works, but Fielder is currently attached to direct, with Stone on board to produce with her husband and partner Dave McCary under their Fruit Tree banner.

This article will contain some spoilers for Challengers, so reader beware if you haven’t seen Luca Guadagnino’s new film…
Tennis isn’t for everyone – some people just want their Spidey fix. That’s what happens in one scene of Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, where the daughter of Tashi (Zendaya) and Art (Mike Faist) asks to watch a Spider-Verse movie instead of tennis. But as the director explains, it wasn’t meant to be directly linked to Zendaya’s own Spider-Man movies.
As Guadagnino told Entertainment Weekly, those thinking that Spider-Verse moment in Challengers was an intentional easter egg are mistaken, as it was really just out of circumstances. “When you get rights for something to be used in a movie, it’s very complicated. Amy Pascal, our amazing producer, was of help there. I said, ‘Amy, can we use one of your catalog titles so it’s going...
