On March 13, 1990, 13 paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars were stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in a brazen heist that still remains unsolved. Any Day Now creates a fictitious backstory where a downtrodden pushover is forced to aid the robbery by a loquacious gangster and his goofy goons. We're supposed to take pity and root for the wet blanket protagonist as he's used like a doormat from start to finish. That doesn't happen because the black comedy is a stretch at best and the narrative has plot holes you could drive a truck through.

The cocky Marty Lyons (Paul Guilfoyle) sits in his prison cell, interrogated by a pair of angry cops who think he orchestrated the museum robbery. Marty sarcastically responds that he wishes he'd thought of it. The scene then flashes back to the hapless Steve (Taylor Gray) being chased into a restaurant. He doesn't get...

By the way it was written, Olatunde Osunsanmi's new TV movie "Star Trek: Section 31" stands almost entirely on its own. There are a few references to the "Star Trek" universe at large, but the script (by Craig Sweeny) is careful to explain them all closely. Case in point: the character of Quasi (Sam Richardson) is a Chameloid, a shape-shifting species not seen since Iman's character in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." Viewers, however, don't need to know anything about Iman or "Star Trek VI" to understand Quasi.

Ditto the character of Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), the young Starfleet lieutenant. Trekkies know Rachel Garrett as the future captain of the Enterprise-c because we met her in an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" called "Yesterday's Enterprise." The events of "Yesterday's Enterprise," however, aren't at all referenced in "Section 31." There is also a Deltan character named Melle...

A 28-year-old Harrison Ford thriller film that was incredibly popular in the 1990s is reportedly being rebooted. Sony may be developing a new Air Force One movie.

The scoop comes from industry insider Daniel Richtman's page, who has reported: "Sony [is] developing a new Air Force One movie. It's not clear if this is a remake or a sequel." The original Air Force One movie debuted in 1997, with the political thriller movie directed and co-produced by Wolfgang Petersen, whose other films included Das Boot (1981), In the Line of Fire (1993), and The Perfect Storm (2000). The plot of the film follows the aircraft carrying the President of the United States as it is hijacked by a group of terrorists.

Star Trek: Section 31 is an intergalactic sci-fi action-adventure that can be enjoyed by general audiences, but an understanding of the film's Star Trek connections will enhance the experience. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanme and written by Craig Sweeny, Star Trek: Section 31 premieres on Paramount+ on Friday, January 24. Section 31 is the first made-for-streaming Star Trek movie, and it marks the return of Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery.

Section 31 is a Starfleet black ops division created in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Section 31 has since appeared in Star Trek: Enterprise and J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness. However, Section 31 was largely reimagined by Star Trek: Discovery. Less secretive but still insidious, Section 31 ended up creating Star Trek: Discovery season 2's villain, Control. Originally Section 31's threat assessment A.I., Control became sentient and tried to commit galactic genocide before it was stopped by the crews...

Laurence Fishburne left CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for a specific reason. The show, which premiered on CBS in 2000, was created by Anthony E. Zuiker and ran for 15 seasons, in the process spawning half a dozen spinoffs including CSI: Miami, which ran for 10 seasons, and CSI: NY, which ran for nine. The flagship show, which followed a Las Vegas Police Department crime scene investigation team, featured a rotating cast of stars over the years, which included William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger, Gary Dourdan, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Paul Guilfoyle, Eric Szmanda, Robert David Hall, Louise Lombard, and Elisabeth Shue.

Laurence Fishburne joined the CSI franchise in 2008, first appearing on the flagship show in season 9 as former medical doctor Raymond Langston and becoming a main cast member two episodes later, after the departure of Petersen's longtime character Gil Grissom, who had been a part of the series since the pilot. During his tenure,...

Michelle Yeoh's Paramount+ movie, Star Trek: Section 31, would be the perfect way for Star Trek to introduce a younger Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). In Section 31, Yeoh reprises her role as Star Trek: Discovery's Emperor Philippa Georgiou. After the USS Discovery jumped to the 32nd century, Georgiou needed to return to a time when the Prime Universe and Mirror Universe were closer together. The Guardian of Forever (Paul Guilfoyle) sent Philippa Georgiou back to the early 24th century—also known as Star Trek's "Lost Era", between Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Few Star Trek projects have been set in the "Lost Era" before Star Trek: Section 31, but Star Trek: The Next Generation has occasionally referenced this elusive part of the Star Trek timeline. Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6, episode 14, "Tapestry", spends a significant amount of time in...

After directing two of the most underrated comedies of the past decade or so, “MacGruber” and “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping,” we haven’t seen a new film from director Jorma Taccone since 2016. Thankfully, that’s ending soon, as he is set to direct “The Trip.”

According to 87North and XYZ Films, Jorma Taccone has begun production on the new thriller, “The Trip.” The film is set to star Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine.

Continue reading ‘The Trip’: Jason Segel, Samara Weaving & More Join Jorma Taccone’s Thriller at The Playlist.

Timothy Olyphant may be best known for playing onscreen lawmen, but his next project will see him tackle a remake of a Norwegian action horror movie. Perhaps best known for playing Deadwoods Sheriff Seth Bullock, Olyphants career has also seen him embody other quick-shooting lawmen, such as Justifieds Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, and even The Mandalorians Cobb Vanth. More recently, however, Olyphant has also developed an affinity for playing cyborg characters. In addition to having voiced the Terminator in Netflixs Terminator Zero anime, he is also set to play a synthetic in Noah Hawleys forthcoming Alien: Earth series.

No stranger to working on action-oriented fare, Olyphant is also well acquainted with the horror genre. Not only did he star in and executive produce Netflixs popular horror sitcom The Santa Clarita Diet, but one of his earliest onscreen roles even saw him don the infamous Ghostface killers mask in 1997s Scream 2.

Samara Weaving and Jason Segel have signed on to star in 'The Trip’ remake.The 32-year-old actress and the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star, 44, will appear in the upcoming remake of the 2021 Norwegian comedy-thriller ‘I Onde Dager’, which follows a dysfunctional couple who travel to a remote cabin in a supposed effort to reconnect, though both have secret intentions to kill the other.However, their murderous plans get cast aside when another couple arrives, who have a much stronger lust for blood, and chaos ensues thereafter. The cast also includes Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine, while ‘MacGruber’ filmmaker Jorma Taccone is set to helm the movie.The original picture’s director Tommy Wirkola will serve as executive producer alongside Taccone, with Karen Gillan due to co-produce.In a statement, Wirkola said: “I can’t wait to see Jorma bring his totally singular sensibility to the material.

Samara Weaving, aka one of the newer faces of modern horror and one of our favorite scream queens, is booked and busy, and we're glad to see her taking on more and more projects. We recently learned that she's signed on to star in the upcoming horror flick Ready or Not 2. Now, we've just learned that she'll be in an upcoming thriller titled The Trip.

Set to star opposite of her in The Trip is Emmy-nominated actor Jason Segel. They will play a dysfunctional couple who retreat to a secluded cabin to "reconnect," but both harbor hidden motives to kill each other. Other talented actors such as Timothy Olyphant (Justified: City Primeval), Juliette Lewis (Yellowjackets), Paul Guilfoyle (Evil), and Keith Jardine (Love Lies Bleeding) will star in this movie as well.

Jorma Taccone, who is known for his work on the action comedy series MacGruber, is directing from a...

Production is officially underway on the thriller The Trip, which is coming from 87North, XYZ Films, and director Jorma Taccone (MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) – and Deadline reveals that Taccone has assembled a cool cast for the film. The line-up includes Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother), Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Juliette Lewis (From Dusk Till Dawn), Paul Guilfoyle (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), and retired mixed martial artist Keith Jardine (Godless).

The Trip is based on director Tommy Wirkola’s 2021 Norwegian thriller, I Onde Dager, which starred Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie. The screenplay by Wirkola, John Niven, and Nick Ball has been reworked by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney. The original film had the following synopsis: Eager to end their marriage by murdering each other, a husband and wife head to a remote cabin — but soon find themselves facing an even bigger threat.

In 2021, Tommy Wirkola delivered a delightfully deranged and bloody comedic thriller in The Trip. Now, Variety reports that a remake is in the works with an impressive cast lined up.

Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Timothy Olyphant, and Juliette Lewis are set to star in The Trip, directed by Lonely Island member Jorma Taccone (Pop Star: Never Stop Stopping).

In The Trip, “a dysfunctional couple (Segel and Weaving) who head to a remote cabin to supposedly reconnect, but each has secret plans to kill the other.” What the logline leaves out is that the couple’s plans to commit murder get derailed by the arrival of actual killers, and violent mayhem ensues.

Paul Guilfoyle (LA Confidential) and former UFC star Keith Jardine (Inherent Vice) have also joined the cast, likely rounding out the murderers that converge in The Trip.

If you’ve been following The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, you’ve known that one third of The Lonely Island, Jorma Taccone, has been absent for the last few weeks while shooting a movie in Finland. Details of that movie have finally been announced.

Taccone will direct “The Trip,” a thriller and comedy film that stars Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Juliette Lewis, and Timothy Olyphant, it was announced on Tuesday, November 19. Filming is currently taking place in Tampere, Finland and has been ongoing since October 23. Paul Guilfoyle and Keith Jardine also co-star.

This is Taccone’s first feature behind the camera since 2016’s “Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping,” which he co-directed with Akiva Schaffer. For this one he’ll partner with the team behind “The Fall Guy,” David Leitch and Kelly McCormick’s 87North production banner, and XYZ Films.

No distributor is attached for the film.

Star Trek has revealed fascinating new info about the Star Trek: Section 31 black ops team led by Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny, Star Trek: Section 31 premieres Friday, January 24, on Paramount+. Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+. Excitingly, Section 31 is the first new Star Trek movie since Star Trek Beyond's theatrical release in 2016.

Star Trek's official Instagram page has released a series of character cards highlighting the franchise's 'Rogues and Scoundrels,' with a special emphasis on the new and familiar faces of Star Trek: Section 31. Six of Section 31's known seven-member team have received character cards, with the exception thus far being Star Trek: The Next Generation's future USS Enterprise-c Captain Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl). But this could be because Garrett is a member of Starfleet...

A big question lingering from Star Trek: Discovery has been answered ahead of Star Trek: Section 31's premiere. The first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+, Section 31 premieres on Friday, January 24, 2025. Star Trek: Section 31 is headlined by Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh, who returns in her iconic role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery.

Emperor Georgiou was last seen in Star Trek: Discovery season 3, where she was sent to an unknown time and place by the Guardian of Forever (Paul Guilfoyle). Georgiou, who hails from the Mirror Universe, was dying from the combination of time travel and crossing universes. The Guardian of Forever sent Georgiou to a time when Star Trek's Prime Universe and Mirror Universe were more closely aligned. Star Trek: Section 31 reveals Georgiou landed in the early 24th century "lost era" before Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Section 31 Answers Star Trek:...

Star Trek: Section 31 surrounds Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh's anti-heroine, Emperor Philippa Georgiou, with a mysterious team of dangerous misfits. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny, Star Trek: Section 31 premieres Friday, January 24, 2025, on Paramount+. Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+, and it's the first new Star Trek movie in 9 years since Star Trek Beyond hit theaters in 2016.

Much of Star Trek: Section 31 is shrouded in mystery, which is appropriate for the black ops agency charged with using any means necessary to protect the United Federation of Planets. Section 31's main story is set at some point in the early 24th century, dubbed Star Trek's "lost era," which is the decades between Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and the beginning of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Section 31 introduces a slew of new faces, but at least...

Star Trek: Section 31 will tell a story Star Trek has not told before. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny, Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+. When it premieres in 2025, Section 31 will also be the first Star Trek movie in 9 years, as the last theatrical Star Trek film was Star Trek Beyond in 2016. Star Trek: Section 31 is headlined by Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, reprising Emperor Philippa Georgiou, the former ruler of the Mirror Universe-turned-super spy.

Star Trek: Discovery season 1 introduced Emperor Georgiou and brought Star Trek back to the Mirror Universe, which was last seen in Star Trek: Enterprise season 4's "In a Mirror, Darkly" two-parter. Emperor Georgiou was absolute ruler of the Terran Empire until 2256 when she was overthrown by Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) in a coup. Following Lorca's death, Georgiou joined the USS Discovery on...

Star Trek: Discovery's Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) was born from Section 31. Burnham became the legendary Captain of the USS Discovery in the 32nd century, where Michael and her crew saved the United Federation of Planets multiple times. Burnham's 930-year one-way jump to the future distanced her from the dark elements of her past, and Michael's infamy as Starfleet's first mutineer. Meanwhile, Section 31 is inextricably linked to Michael's history through her parents, Dr. Mike Burnham (Kenric Green) and Dr. Gabrielle Burnham (Sonja Sohn).

Section 31 was introduced in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the Federation's black ops division has become an enduring Star Trek concept. Section 31 was central to Star Trek Into Darkness, but it truly came roaring back in Star Trek: Discovery. Section 31 was integral to Star Trek: Discovery season 2 as the organization's threat assessment A.I., Control, was the genocidal main villain of the season. However, Star...

Brad Anderson’s Session 9 has been one of my favorite psychological horror films ever since I caught a theatrical screening of it at a 24 hour horror marathon in 2001, so it’s cool to hear that horror and dark fantasy author Christian Francis – who has previously written novelizations of the films Wishmaster, Titan Find/Creature, and Vamp – is giving Anderson‘s cult classic the novelization treatment, with Echo Horror Publications planning to send the book out into the world on October 4th – just in time for Halloween season reading!

Starring David Caruso, Peter Mullan, Paul Guilfoyle, Josh Lucas, Stephen Gevedon, and Brendan Sexton III, Session 9 features one of the most epic F-bombs in cinema history and tells the following story: Grand, imposing… abandoned and deteriorating, the Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years is about to receive 5 new visitors. Donning protective gear, the men of the Hazmat Elimination Co.

On his 18th birthday, Tj receives a key sent from his estranged ex-con father, unlocking an old '68 convertible and a challenge to drive across America – in hopes of repairing his family.

Madras Cafe is a political action thriller film directed by Shoojit Sircar.

When CBS announced it was canceling CSI: Vegas, it didn’t warn the showrunners. This means that fans won’t be happy when watching the season finale, knowing the show is ending. One of the show’s stars said “major cliffhangers” are in the finale that will never be resolved.

Here is what fans can expect from the CSI: Vegas finale.

CSI: Vegas To End With Unanswered Questions

When CSI: Vegas returned to TV, three of the show’s original stars returned. William Petersen (Gil Grissom) and Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) returned to CSI as did former police detective Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle). However, they left after one season and the hope was that fans would latch onto the new cast. The series brought back Marg Helgenberger to reprise her role as Catherin Willows in the second and third seasons to fill the gap.

However, CBS announced that it won...

Star Trek: Section 31 explores the mysterious "lost era" of Federation history, potentially answering questions about pivotal events. Michelle Yeoh's Emperor Philippa Georgiou faces her past sins, recruited by the secretive Section 31. The film delves into Captain Rachel Garrett's journey and could resolve the fates of iconic starships like the USS Enterprise-b.

Michelle Yeoh's upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 film takes place in Star Trek's "lost era," and could answer several questions about this mysterious period of 24th century history. After the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, about 70 years pass before Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) takes over command of the USS Enterprise-d in Star Trek: The Next Generation. While Tng mentioned several historical events that took place over the preceding years, much about this period of Federation history remains unknown. The confirmation that Kacey Rohl will play a young Rachel Garrett in Star Trek: Section 31...

You can soon take home one of the most incredible stories about the connection between man and his best friend as Arthur the King races its way onto PVOD today with a Blu-ray, DVD, and digital release to follow on May 28. To celebrate the upcoming tale of perseverance, love, and determination, Collider has an exclusive clip from Lionsgate that features producers including Tucker Tooley, Mark Canton, and Dorothy Canton, speaking about the work that Mark Wahlberg (The Family Plan) and the rest of the cast put in to make this one-of-a-kind story come to life. Joining Wahlberg in what proved to not only be a taxing job performance-wise but also one that required plenty of strength and physicality, are Simu Liu (Barbie), Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones), Juliet Rylance (Perry Mason), Rob Collins (The Wrong Girl), Ali Suliman (Paradise Now), and Paul Guilfoyle (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation).

CSI franchise vet Marg Helgenberger is among the first CSI: Vegas cast members to react to the CBS drama’s cancellation after three seasons.

TVLine reported on Friday that CSI: Vegas, as well as So Help Me Todd, had been cancelled at CBS — leaving just the fates of NCIS: Hawai’i and The Equalizer to be determined.

The crime scene investigations in Las Vegas are over at CBS. Following reports that CSI: Vegas was in serious danger of getting canceled, the bad news has now been confirmed, as CBS has axed the CSI sequel series after three seasons.

Per Deadline, CSI: Vegas was one of two shows to get axed on Friday. So Help Me Todd has also been canceled, and this news comes as a bit of a shock, as it had been a solid ratings performer alongside CSI: Vegas. However, compared with the other shows on CBS, they were still the least-watched drama shows on the network for the Spring 2024 season. With so many other CBS shows getting renewed, and with new shows like NCIS: Origins, Watson, and the Matlock reboot debuting in the fall, the axe had to fall somewhere, sealing the fate of CSI: Vegas and So Help Me Todd. Worse yet for...

Both “So Help Me Todd” and “CSI: Vegas” have been canceled at CBS, Variety has learned.

“So Help Me Todd” is currently airing its second season at the broadcaster, while “CSI: Vegas” is airing its third. Both shows are scheduled to air their season finales in May, which will now serve as series finales.

The two shows were some of the few CBS shows awaiting words on their fates for next season. The only other CBS shows with pending renewal statuses are “The Equalizer” and “NCIS: Hawai’i.” They are both solid performers, with “So Help Me Todd” averaging 7.7 million viewers an episode in multiplatform Live+35 and “CSI: Vegas” averaging 7.6 million. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, CBS simply did not have enough room on the schedule to bring them back.

In addition to its many previously announced renewals, CBS already has a number of new shows set to debut next season.

The search for Progenitor technology in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 involves collecting 5 physical clue pieces that form a puzzle. The USS Discovery crew already has 2 clues, obtained after proving the 32nd century Federation is ready to wield the technology. The answers to the mystery may go beyond the physical clues, found in the very nature of life itself.

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery season 5

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 serves as a season-long sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6, episode 20, "The Chase", and revisits the concept first that a single ancient humanoid race called the Progenitors seeded life across the Star Trek galaxy. Once discovered in the 24th century, the Federation President secretly gathered a team of scientists to study the Progenitors' technology but deemed it too dangerous for their own time. The team, which included Romulan Dr. Vellek (Michael Copeland), hid a series of...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 1, "Red Directive"

The return to the Mirror Universe in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is teased by a Terran Empire logo in the trailer. Captain Saru mentions the Tholian Republic as a threat, setting up for a potential return to the Mirror Universe. The USS Defiant from Star Trek: The Original Series could play a key role in a bridge to the Mirror Universe in season 5.

One line from Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 1, "Red Directive" makes a return to the Mirror Universe more likely, confirming a fan theory. Discovery last paid a visit to the Mirror Universe in the season 3 two-parter "Terra Firma", in which the Guardian of Forever sent Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) back to her last day as Terran Emperor. The return to the Mirror Universe was part of an elaborate test by the Guardian, now assuming...

Emperor Georgiou may be recruiting young legacy characters from different Star Trek eras for Section 31. The multi-era Section 31 theory is possible, with the potential for familiar characters to join the division played by new actors. Section 31 could change legacy characters like Rachel Garrett by providing stronger characterization and new stories.

Could Star Trek: Section 31 be about Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) uniting legacy characters from across the Star Trek franchise? Section 31 was set up in Star Trek: Discovery season 3 when Emperor Georgiou left Discovery's 32nd century for a personal mission, courtesy of the Guardian of Forever (Paul Guilfoyle). The only clue the Guardian gave regarding Georgiou's destination was that the Mirror Universe of Georgiou's origin and the Prime Universe were "still aligned", to alleviate Georgiou's debilitating symptoms arising from being in both the wrong time and the wrong universe. This suggested Section 31 takes place in an earlier point in the Star Trek timeline.

The "lost era" between Star Trek VI and Tng holds major historical events that shape the franchise's future. Michelle Yeoh's Section 31 movie explores this politically fractious time with Emperor Georgiou's mission in the 24th century. Key events like the Tomed Incident, the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, and the Khitomer Massacre impact future Trek characters.

Michelle Yeoh's Section 31 movie will take place in Star Trek's "lost era", expanding on the limited knowledge that fans have of this tantalizing time period. The confirmation that Kacey Rohl will play a young Rachel Garrett in Star Trek: Section 31 confirms that the latest mission for Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) will take place in the early 24th century. This extensive period in the Star Trek timeline takes place between the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and the start of Star Trek: The Next Generation, during which some major historical events took place.

When TV fanatics hear "Chicago," their minds probably go to the hit network franchise that includes Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and more. The co-creator of said franchise, Michael Brandt, has a new project that has just been released — but this time, it's up on the big screen. Arthur the King is adapted from famed adventure racer Mikael Lindnord's acclaimed book about his life-changing experience 10 years ago when the eponymous furry friend entered his world. Later named Arthur, a beloved dog that followed Mikael and his team to the finish.

Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg plays Mikael in the new movie from Lionsgate and directed by Simon Cellan Jones, and we recently caught up with screenwriter Brandt to learn more about his experience adapting the book to screen, and what it's been like writing for other hit Hollywood franchises.

Featuring a bond between a man and a stray dog, Arthur the King tells a heartwarming true story of resilience and companionship. Based on Mikael Lindnord's real-life experience, the film emphasizes the strong connection humans can have with their canine companions. Despite some controversy over the film's setting, Arthur the King is expected to resonate with audiences and tug at their heartstrings.

Arthur the King is a wholesome, tear-jerking adventure film that showcases the unbreakable bond between a racer and his furry companion. Don't be fooled by the cheesy trailer; while it certainly relies on melodramatic 'dog movie' tropes, it's not as cheesy as it could be. While not groundbreaking, the movie provides a feel-good experience perfect for families and fans of canine companions on the big screen.

In our recent interview with Oscar-nominated actor Mark Wahlberg, he dubbed his new project Arthur the King a "big, four-quadrant movie." There is certainly a case to be made for said claim, and don't be surprised if Arthur the King makes at least an adequate profit at the box office. After all, the previous Wahlberg collaboration with director Simon Cellan Jones, aka The Family Plan, shattered Apple TV+ streaming records. The two actually teamed up for Arthur the King first, an entirely different kind...

Lindnord was heavily involved in the production of the movie, ensuring accuracy and bringing his incredible journey to life on screen.

"Based on a true story" is usually a good start when it comes to popular movies, especially regarding athletes and biographies. We're looking at you, Rudy, Miracle, and Remember the Titans. And now, you can add "adventure racing" to the mix of professional sports that have been covered on the big screen with Arthur the King.

Mark Wahlberg is not just a Hollywood superstar; he is a real-life hero. We know how dedicated he is to his profession and, of course, fitness. Not only that but despite sustaining an unbearably painful injury, he is a kind colleague who saved hundreds of jobs for the cast and crew of his upcoming flick.

With Simon Cellan Jones directing, the 52-year-old actor is gearing up for Arthur the King, his next adventure movie. During filming a particularly difficult scene, Wahlberg—who is renowned for his solid work ethic and dedication to his roles—suffered a serious injury. Most actors would have called it quits, but not the Boogie Nights actor.

Indeed, he could not bear to think of disappointing his crew or the other cast members, so he endured the unbearable pain in order to see the project through to the end.
