Director Ali Kalthami’s bleak and funny portrait of toxic masculinity was a massive hit in its home country of Saudi Arabia
This film – the title of which has been translated as Night Courier for English-speaking audiences – has been a huge box office hit on its home turf in Saudi Arabia, which lifted a 35-year ban on cinemas in 2017. It’s a kind of satirical dark comedy about a Deliveroo-style driver called Fahad (Mohamad Aldokhei), who gets mixed up in alcohol bootlegging. Fahad is a bit of a fantasist, and there’s something Robert De Niro-like about the way Aldokhei plays it, with echoes of Travis Bickle and a little Rupert Pupkin. Or, for a more a recent reference of delusional masculinity, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Lou Bloom in Nightcrawler.
The movie opens with Fahad losing his job at a call centre. He’s been caught red-handed being rude to customers,...

Wolf Man: First Promo Poster For Leigh Whannell's Reboot Reveals Official Logo & A Chilling Location

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and Autumn moon is bright."
Universal and Blumhouse's long-awaited Wolfman movie (now known as Wolf Man) went through a hairy (sorry) phase of production late last year, but cameras officially started rolling back in March, and we now have our first official look at an early promo poster for the film (via FearHQ.com).
The banner was spotted on display at Universal Orlando as part of the park's Halloween Horror Nights takeover. The image gives us a first look at the movie's logo and what will presumably be the primary location of the story, but no sign of the titular lycanthrope, who will likely be kept under wraps until well into the marketing phase.

There’s a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell, aiming for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release – and Universal has gotten the promotion started by putting up a Wolf Man-themed photo op set at the Universal Orlando theme park. This photo op can be found outside the Fanta Bar at Lombard’s Seafood Grille, and gives a look at an isolated home setting that’s dressed with overgrown weeds, straw, a No Trespassing sign, and an old wheelbarrow:

There’s a moment from the filming of Blink Twice that Zoë Kravitz can’t get out of her head. It was the middle of the night, during a scene that called for her star Naomi Ackie to lie on the ground in the dirt, restrained while another character holds a gun to her head. They were trying to line up the shot just right, and it had been hours since Ackie had eaten; Kravitz, the movie’s director, wanted to break to let her rest and have a snack. “But she was like, ‘It’s all right, babe, just hand me the sandwich,’ ” she recalls. “I took a picture of it because it was so incredible. She’s got one hand behind her back, there’s the gun to her head, and she’s just in the dirt eating her sandwich with the other hand with a smile on her face.

Marvel superheroes have had some memorable last moments on film. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) affirming one last time "I am Iron Man" before annihilating Thanos with a finger snap in "Avengers: Endgame." "Logan" has Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) dying a peaceful death with his heart in his hands, finally knowing the last answer all people receive: "So this is what it feels like." Remy LeBeau, currently deceased after the shocking "X-Men '97" episode "Remember It," stopped the completion of a mutant genocide by detonating the Sentinel that skewered him, giving his life with one last boast: "The name's Gambit — remember it!"
But while a handful of superheroes have died in the movies, many more have in the comics. Since the 1992 event "The Death of Superman," it's pretty much become a right of passage for any Marvel or DC character deemed important enough to receive a headlining death and then resurrection.

Billie Eilish participated in latest installment of Stephen Colbert’s “Questionert,” answering questions about favorite sandwiches, fear of whales, thoughts on the afterlife, hopes for the future, and more.
Appearing on The Late Show for the third time this year, Eilish agreed to be “known” by Colbert’s 15 signature questions. She began by alluding to several sandwiches she enjoys, without being able to fully recall their ingredients. Then, she revealed her very first concert was The Neighborhood, shared that she once got Skylar Grey’s autograph as a child, named the whale as the scariest animal, and more.

When asked what song she’d pick if she could only listen to one song, she chose “Nightcall” by Kavinsky, who she recently shared a bill with when both artists performed at the closing ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars, who performed at Sunday’s concert at the Stade de France for the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, said that he worried for athletes’ safety during the show.
French indie rock band Phoenix delivered a rousing rendition of their hit “Lisztomania” surrounded by hundreds of athletes.
While Mars is accustomed to live performances, the Olympics’ closing ceremony was a different kind of gig, he told French radio France Inter on Monday morning, due to the overjoyed crowd of athletes who were out of control during the musical act.
“We were told that generally at closing ceremonies, the athletes are very happy with the pressure from the Olympics coming down so they let loose,” said Mars. “But there, they got up on screens, they broke the screens,” he said. “In fact, we were afraid for them because we had been told for the last two weeks of rehearsal ‘Above all,...

The Paris Olympics closing ceremony was full of surprises Sunday and featured performances by Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, H.E.R and Phoenix.
Phoenix, originally from France but now based in the U.S., kicked off the show with their 2009 hit “Lisztomania,” as athletes danced and sang along to the indie classic. Their set featured surprise appearances from French synthwave artist Kavinsky and Belgian singer Angèle for a rendition of “Nightcall,” known from the Drive soundtrack (the original version featured Css singer Lovefoxxx instead of Angèle).
Rapper VannDa joined in for “Funky Squaredance” and fellow French indie icons Air performed their song “Playground Love” with Phoenix. Another surprise was Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig, who performed “Tonight,” his collaborative track with the band. The set ended on a sweet note with frontman Thomas Mars jumping off the stage to mingle with the Olympians in the crowd.

The 2024 Paris Olympics have come to an end, with the closing ceremony going down Sunday at Stade de France. To help say “Au revoir” in true French style, local artists — including Phoenix, Air, and more — performed.
Phoenix performed their hit “Lisztomania” to usher in the party portion of the ceremony. Set up on a small stage in the center of the stadium, and surrounded by a crowd of Olympic athletes, the band delivered an upbeat rendition of the 2009 classic, to a warm response from the crowd. Then, they helped the DJ Kavinsky and vocalist Angèle perform “Nightcall,” before diving into their 2000 track “If I Ever Feel Better.”
From there, they welcomed a number of guests, including Air — who performed their 2000 song “Playground Love” — and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, who sang “Tonight” with the group. Then, Phoenix closed their portion of the ceremony with another hit: “1901.” Watch videos of the performances below.

Stanley Kubrick is undoubtedly one of the most influential filmmakers that Hollywood has ever had. The renowned director’s works have been praised for their innovative cinematography as well as their amazing attention to detail. Films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket have been groundbreaking films that have inspired various filmmakers.

Kubrick’s last film was 1999’s Eyes Wide Shut starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The erotic mystery film also had rising star Alan Cumming, who had made some small roles in some high-profile films. However, before starring in Eyes Wide Shut, he was getting disillusioned with the industry until Kubrick restored his love for acting.

Craftspeople rarely get the spotlight that actors and directors get. However, Donald Mowat is not like most craftspeople. Over the past ten years, Mowat’s career put him at the center of some of Hollywood’s very best movies. After working on Dune, Blade Runner 2049, and Nightcrawler, Mowat kept his options open.
A long-time collaboration with Jake Gyllenhaal led to Presumed Innocent, allowing Mowat to dive into unique makeup effects with an all-star cast. The resulting series highlights much of what Mowat has to offer, and the Oscar-nominated makeup designer takes full advantage over the series. With the finale this week, Mowat sat down with FandomWire to discuss his work. This interview was completed prior to the announcement that Presumed Innocent will have a second season.

Marvel’s mutants have just lost their best chance at unity and self-determination. They’ve been betrayed, beaten, and scattered back into the world, far from their sovereign nation of Krakoa. For oncoming Uncanny X-Men writer Gail Simone, the thing these mutants need is some sexual healing.
“I love that Rogue and Gambit are central to it because their romance is super hot,” Simone tells Den of Geek when we chat with her in an exclusive interview. In fact, she wants you to feel all kinds of things when you pick up her new X-book. “If you’re familiar with my writing at all, you know that I really am fan of the roller coaster of emotion that we can get out of these stories. You’re gonna laugh, you’re gonna cry, you’re gonna be horrified, you’re gonna feel horny, I hope. I want readers to feel these emotions throughout the story.

When the big-budget sci-fi/boxing flick hybrid "Real Steel" brawled its way into theaters on October 7, 2011, it was ridiculed by some as "Rock'em Sock'em Robots: The Motion Picture." On one hand, the $110 million-budgeted film's blockbuster pedigree of star Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy did little to suggest the film was anything more than this. But anyone who grew up gorging on Rod Serling's original run of "The Twilight Zone" in syndication or reading the novels and short stories of Richard Matheson knew there was more to "Real Steel," at least in theory, than family friendly mechanical mayhem.
Obviously, with that budget, Disney (which distributed the DreamWorks production) wasn't going to sell the film primarily on its connection to a nearly 50-year-old black-and-white television show. As for Matheson, while he's considered a god of 20th century sci-fi/fantasy/horror literature by publishing heavyweights like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman,...

Exclusive: The back and forth over the prospect of a hot-button film on the formative years of Donald Trump is near done, and The Dish hears that backer Kinematics will soon be bought out of Daniel Snyder’s $5 million investment with a premium. Tom Ortenberg, who runs Briarcliff Entertainment and has overseen the distribution of films that included Fahrenheit 9/11, Best Picture winner Spotlight, Nightcrawler and many others, is getting close to acquiring the film for fall release.
Directed by Ali Abbasi and written by Gabriel Sherman, the film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as his mentor lawyer Roy Cohn in a film that traces the formative years of the former president who’ll take another run at the White House this fall. Maria Bakalova plays his ex-wife Ivana Trump.

X2: X-Men United was released in 2003 to glowing reviews and, in a recent interview, Nightcrawler actor Alan Cumming described it as "the gayest film that I've ever done."
The actor would go on to praise the fact it was directed by a queer director and starred other queer actors, saying the franchise "[helped] people understand queerness, because you can address it in an artistic way, and everyone is less scared of the concept."
It's no secret that filmmaker Bryan Singer set out to use the X-Men as a means of highlighting bigotry (and the experience of coming out), and writer David Hayter has now shared his enthusiasm for Cumming's take on the iconic team.
"I was thrilled when I heard that Alan Cumming had called X2 the gayest film that he had ever worked on," he told TMZ. "Yeah, it made me really happy. I was so glad that we had done right by him.

The mutant landscape of the Marvel Universe has changed dramatically in recent months.
With the fall of Krakoa, the new "From the Ashes" era is on the horizon - home to new team books and solo series, each embracing different missions and methods to survive a world that fears them now more than ever.

Alan Cumming played Nightcrawler in 2003's X2: X-Men United, though the role ended up being a one-and-done for the actor. He didn't return for X-Men: The Last Stand and was also absent from X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Later, Kodi Smit-McPhee replaced Cumming as a younger version of Kurt Wagner, portraying the teleporting mutant in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Unfortunately, we never got anything quite as memorable as the original Nightcrawler's attack on the White House.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly about his status as a queer actor, Cumming reflected on his superhero movie debut and explained why he believes the X-Men sequel is by far his "gayest film."
"Oh, I think the X-Men film I'm in [2003’s X2: X-Men United,] is the gayest film that I've ever done. It's got a queer director, lots of queer actors in it," he tells the site. "I love the fact that something...

Created by David E. Kelley and based on Scott Turow’s 1987 novel of the same name, Presumed Innocent is a twisty legal thriller revolving around a murky case and morally compromised characters. We won’t find out who’s guilty until the very end of the Apple TV+ series, but with each reveal we start to realize that nobody is entirely innocent.
Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal), Chicago’s chief deputy prosecutor, appears to be living the dream, cleaning up the streets by day and returning to his luxurious home at night to crash on the couch with his beautiful wife, Barbara (Ruth Negga), and their two children, Jaden (Chase Infiniti) and Kyle (Kingston Rumi Southwick). But that seemingly idyllic dream turns into a nightmare when Rusty’s colleague and secret lover, Carolyn Polmheus (Renate Reinsve), is brutally murdered and he finds himself at the very top of the suspects list.

Hollywood is bursting with "what if" scenarios -- "Sliding Doors" moments where actors, writers, directors, and craftspeople almost made a certain project, or almost walked away from a job that would become huge for their careers. With the benefit of hindsight, these situations are often fun to think about -- especially if, as in the case in today's example, A) the two people competing for a part were vying for a memorable role in a well-known movie, and B) they both went on to have great careers, so the thought exercise doesn't feel mean-spirited or just plain sad.

Rene Russo’s big break in “Major League” came with a minor problem.
The “Major League” writer/director David S. Ward recalled during the “Hollywood Gold” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly) that Russo was “so nervous” both in the audition and on set that she kept using her hands too much in scenes. As a result, Ward opted to “tie down” her hands so Russo could temper her gestures. “Major League” marked Russo’s first role.
“The only problem we had with her was she’s Italian, and when she gets going there’s a lot of the hands, a lot of the talking with the hands, you know?” Ward said. “And they would be flying across her face.”
While filming the 1989 baseball comedy that co-starred Charlie Sheen, Ward told Russo to keep her hands out of her own face.

Sound the bells y’all! It seems like Round 2 of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Road House is just around the corner. Coming from the house of Amazon MGM Studios, the movie was considered by the executives a hit, garnering over 80 million views in a very short span of time. This success has seen the studio back the movie for another rodeo as they have already announced that a sequel is in the works. But the creators would be wise to steer clear of a few facets that the first movie got wrong.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Road House is one of Amazon MGM Studio’s most-watched produced film debut
Road House, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, was a remake of the 1989 movie of the same name. The Og Road House was quite the phenomenon, with Patrick Swayze essaying the role of Patrick Dalton, the protagonist.

Imagine this scenario. What if Nightcrawler presented the ideas of unethical journalism not in a thriller setting, but through horror tropes? What if Jake Gyllenhaal's stringer had found himself in a creepy situation that involved not insane crimes, but incomprehensible horror coursing through his entire body? What if the movie had taken a much darker mystical body horror turn, combining the creepy psychology of Jacob's Ladder with the mysticism of John Carpenter's films?
Well, the result would have been one of the scariest movies ever made in the history of the horror genre. And in fact, such a movie has recently been produced: not long ago, the Netflix library was enriched with a Mexican horror thriller that provides one of the wildest cinematic experiences, playing the moral underpinnings of unscrupulous journalism as effectively as Nightcrawler.

Every couple of months in comic book-centric social media circles, someone reposts a comics page in which Deadpool shooting Spider-Man in the head or decapitating an exhausted Bruce Banner. These panels usually spark arguments about whether or not these kills are in character (they aren’t) or if the entire thing is a joke (it is).
Eventually, someone points out that the pages come from Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, a 2012-2013 miniseries by Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajic. The story involves Deadpool’s fourth-wall-breaking powers driving him so mad that he decides to kill all the other Marvel characters because they’re fictional and their lives don’t matter. Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe may have inspired controversy, but it also inspired several sequels, including Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again.
From all that we’ve seen so far, Deadpool & Wolverine seems to have little in common with Bunn and Talajic’s take.

Some cliche somewhere said that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’ This has proven to be the case for me and especially when it comes to fan art. I have always sought out great fan art and have wanted to share it with as many people as possible. “Awesome Art We’ve Found Around The Net” is the outlet for that passion. In this column, I will showcase the kick-ass artwork of some great artists, with the hopes that these artists get the attention they deserve. That’s the aim. If you have any questions or comments, or even suggestions of art or other great artists, feel free to contact me at any time at [email protected].

A while back, Blumhouse sent out a casting call in search of the right young actor to fill the role of a 10-year-old female character named Ginger in the Wolf Man reboot they’re making for Universal Pictures with The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell. Now it looks like we know who’ll be playing Ginger, as Deadline reports that child actress Matilda Firth has been added to the cast of Wolf Man.
Firth’s previous credits include Hullraisers, Christmas Carole, and Typist Artist Pirate King. Ginger was described as being “Female, 10 years old, white. Blake and Charlotte’s daughter. Smart, precocious, and strong. When her family decides to leave the city for a quieter life in a remote area, she faces her biggest fear, the possibility of losing one or both of her parents forever.”
The leads of the film are Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, both of whom...

When it was originally announced that the original X-Men series would continue its story 30 years after it ended, there weren’t many expectations. However, since X-Men ’97 began its run, the acclaim and attention it is getting is truly spectacular. On top of older fans tuning into the story again, the conversation around the series and its release has gathered new viewers as well.
X-Men ’97
The story began right where it left off, and fans were hoping to be eased into the harsher parts of the world. However, as some have put it, more blood has been shed in this show than in all of Disney’s history.

Riz Ahmed is now a Wes Anderson featured player.
The actor, last seen in Apple’s love drama Fingernails, has joined the roster of acclaimed auteur’s latest project, an untitled feature that is now shooting in Berlin.
Plot details are being kept in the breast pocket, but it is shaping up to be another ensemble piece with several of his usual cadre of artists.
Benicio Del Toro and Bill Murray are also on the call sheet for the project. The feature has a script from Anderson and Roman Coppola, who has worked on five of the filmmaker’s movies. Michael Cera, also cast in the picture, is among the other Anderson first-timers.
The project was at one point eying a fall 2023 start, but the twin strikes last year pushed the start of production.
The feature has no distributor at this stage, although Anderson’s previous outing, 2023’s Asteroid City,...

Exclusive: Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher) is in talks for one of four female leads in Night Electricity, an indie from her longtime collaborator Sebastian Gutierrez (Jett).
Pic’s plot is under wraps, though it’s been described as a psychological drama with thriller elements. David Lancaster is producing, with Gutierrez set direct from his own script.
Gugino recently landed a Critics Choice Award nomination for her turn as multiple characters in The Fall of the House of Usher, the acclaimed Netflix series from Mike Flanagan, with whom she’s collaborated on The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, the Stephen King adaptation Gerald’s Game and other projects. Currently, she can be seen starring on The Girls on the Bus, a political drama series that premiered on Max last month, having also been seen of late in Zelda Williams’ horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein for Focus Features.

Photography converts the whole world into a cemetery. Photographers, connoisseurs of beauty, are also – wittingly or unwittingly – the recording-angels of death.
– Susan Sontag
Those words appear at the beginning of Disappear Completely (Desaparecer Por Completo), and seem perfectly appropriate as we see Santiago sitting in his car listening to the police radio. He’s a photographer, and he’s waiting to hear what he’ll be covering next. He doesn’t have long to wait before he’s busy shooting pictures of a cuffed suspect, sobbing victims in an ambulance, and, with the help of a bribe, a woman’s corpse.
Santiago works for a Mexican tabloid, one that very firmly believes the old adage, “If it bleeds, it leads”. And he’s excellent at capturing that bleeding on film, regardless of the cost.

“Disappear Completely” may suffer from diminishing returns, but there’s an ironic pleasure in a movie about a cursed man losing his five senses one at a time that gets gradually worse as you watch it.
Caught somewhere between Dan Gilroy’s “Nightcrawler” and Sam Raimi’s “Drag Me to Hell,” director Luis Javier Henain’s Spanish-language horror won the attention of genre fans out of Fantastic Fest 2022 but just started streaming in the U.S. on Netflix Friday, April 12. The supernatural tale of intensifying torture recounts the fate of Santiago (the unflappable Harold Torres), a tabloid photographer whose primary job seems to be hunting down crime scenes so he can snag candid shots of corpses.

Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Marvel Cinematic Universe are perhaps two of the most talked-about franchises at the moment; the former because the creators of the original show announced a movie being in the works and the latter because Deadpool and Wolverine is due for release soon.

Spoilers for "X-Men '97" to follow.
The latest episode of "X-Men '97," "Remember It," took us to mutant haven Genosha (before it all went to Hell anyway). The island turned out to be a treasure trove of cameos; the Genoshan ruling council included Hellfire Club leaders Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw, Morlock leader Callisto, the Irish mutant Banshee, Professor X's old flame Moira MacTaggert, and former Goblin Queen Madelyne Pryor. The streets of Genosha were filled with other mutants whom "X-Men" comics fans may recognize, from Pixie to Dazzler to Marrow to Exodus.
The best mutant cameo of all, though, is the blue-skinned Bavarian Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler. His voice actor, Adrian Hough, joins the ranks of those who've reprised their roles from the 1992 "X-Men" cartoon.
Kurt shows up in the episode's title sequence doing some sword fighting with Gambit. In the episode itself, he escorts Rogue and Gambit...

Netflix has won the streaming wars, but of course, that doesn't mean it's perfect. One of the popular dings against the streamer is that many of its original productions share a similar flattened, brightly lit aesthetic -- a "Netflix look" that, fairly or not, can sometimes seem like an edict passed on to storytellers from the top down to make their shows and movies look a certain way. Naturally, this doesn't apply to every show, but if you watch enough of them, you'll start to see patterns emerge.
Thankfully, Steven Zaillian's "Ripley," a new take on Patricia Highsmith's famous con man story, is about as far from that typical "Netflix look" as you can get. Legendary cinematographer Robert Elswit imbues this show with a palpable style and personality, constantly playing with light and shadow and delivering spectacular results.

Road House, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, has muscled its way to the top of viewership on Amazon Prime. The reboot was helmed by Doug Liman, and the numbers recorded are a positive sign that even though the film was overlooked for a theatrical release, the power of storytelling is still compelling, even if it is on a small screen.
The choice to go straight to streaming was deliberate on the part of the makers and the studio. Either way, the move paid off, as the film has set a new record.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a versatile actor who has juggled between film and stage (having appeared on New York stages recently in “Sunday in the Park with George” as well as the play “Sea Wall”/”A Life”). He continues to choose roles that are challenging and unexpected.
Gyllenhaal has been nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in Ang Lee‘s “Brokeback Mountain,” as well as two SAG Awards for that performance including Best Supporting Actor. He was also nominated for two Golden Globe Awards (for 2010’s “Love and Other Drugs” and 2014’s “Nightcrawler”). Gyllenhaal was also nominated for a third Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in “Nightcrawler.”
Currently, Gyllenhaal has a host of films on tap for release in 2020 and beyond. But until then, let’s raise a glass to the great performer by ranking his 17 best feature film appearances. Our photo gallery includes “Zodiac,” “Prisoners,” “Donnie Darko” and more.

Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell are bringing us another reboot of a classic Universal Pictures property with Wolf Man, which had the perfect release date: October 25th, delivering werewolf action to the big screen just in time for Halloween. But Wolf Man only just started filming earlier this month, and the filmmakers clearly feel that they need more than seven months to get it ready for theatres. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Wolf Man‘s release has been delayed, pushed back to January 17, 2025. The studio already had another Blumhouse project scheduled for a January 10th release, the Jaume Collet-Serra / Danielle Deadwyler thriller The Woman in the Yard… but with Wolf Man moving to January, The Woman in the Yard has been bumped off the schedule entirely. We’ll have to wait and see when Universal will decide to release that one.

Netflix has unveiled an untitled French-language thriller starring Vincent Cassel as a jaded DJ alongside a cast also featuring YouTube star and rapper Mister V and music producer Kavinsky, best known for the Drive track Nightcall.
It is the first feature from French graphic designer, animator, director and music producer Bertrand Lagros de Langeron, who is known professionally as So Me.
Cassel plays Scorpex, a once-famous DJ on the downslide, who has not come to terms with the fact that his glory days are over.
When Rose (Laura Felpin), an eccentric agent from French Intelligence Agency offers him the opportunity to take down popular rival Vestax (Mister V), he sees it as a chance to revive his career with a bang.
Further cast members include Alexis Manenti, Déborah Lukumuena, Nina Zem, Nicolas Maury, Philippe Katerine, Paul Mirabel, Panayotis Pascot, Manu Payet and Alice Moitié.

It’s no secret that Jake Gyllenhaal’s Oscar snub for his performance in 2014’s Nightcrawler was considered by many as an atrocious crime, but the fact that the actor has only received one nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain is even more appalling.
