Cillian Murphy is once again mining the non-fiction space for his work. After winning a best actor Oscar for Oppenheimer, the actor is attached to star in and produce Blood Runs Coal, an adaptation of the non-fiction book that Universal has acquired.
The project is based on the 2020 book Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America. Author Mark A. Bradley’s book follows the 1969 murder of mining union organizer Joseph “Jock” Yablonski, who was killed at home with his wife and daughter. The killings followed Yablonski campaigning against a corrupt union leader, and sparked a lengthy investigation that unveiled shady dealings within the coal industry.

The Irish performer, recognized as best actor for his one-man West End show, “Vanya,” previously was named best actor at the 2024 Critics’ Circle Film Awards for his performance in “All of Us Strangers.” He’s the first person to win lead actor Critics’ Circle prizes in both film and television in the same year.

Consequently, it appears that he is not in the frontrunner position, and the search for 007 continues. So, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has gotten support from a former James Bond actor after rumors the Bullet Train star got offered to be the next 007 agent.
George Lazenby, who portrayed Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, gave his seal of approval to Taylor-Johnson following reports he was in contention for the role.
According to a recent TMZ report, Lazenby said Taylor-Johnson would be able to “handle the stunts and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.”
Lazenby noted that he doesn’t think Taylor-Johnson has the role yet because “when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.”
James Bond was most recently played by English actor Daniel Craig, who took over the role in 2006’s Casino Royale. Craig would continue portraying the spy in 2008’s Quantum of Solace, 2012’s Skyfall,...

After watching Javier Bardem portray an exceptional villain in Daniel Craig’s Skyfall, Willis openly stated in 2013 that he was up for playing a big baddie in the next Bond film.

It is fair to say that the line between sports and films is often blurred in Tinseltown. While athletes dabble in acting, actors often try their hand at sports. As an illustration, consider Conor McGregor, the Irish mixed martial arts fighter who just made his acting debut in the latest flick, Road House, helmed by Doug Liman.
His performance received high praise from moviegoers and critics alike, with some even suggesting he could be the next “Arnold Schwarzenegger”. Regardless, he may have stolen the show in the Jake Gyllenhaal starrer film, but he is far from ready to dethrone Dave Bautista. Not to be overlooked is the fact that the latter has an equally impressive acting resumé.

While it may be a tall order to replace Daniel Craig as the new face of James Bond in the 007 franchise, there are capable stars in the industry that might just make it possible. Among them, stars like Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, and Cillian Murphy are, at the moment, the top contenders for the role of the British superspy in the coming years.

As far as everyone knows, the decision to cast any of these aforementioned stars by Eon Productions can go either way. But according to actor Pierce Brosnan, he feels like Murphy may be the best choice to play the role of Bond in the franchise going forward, which is a hefty compliment since he himself is one of the iconic Bond actors from the past.

Léa Seydoux has had a lot of success with Hollywood blockbusters, appearing in two James Bond films — Spectre and No Time to Die — and now in Dune: Part Two, where she plays Lady Margot Fenring.
But despite those triumphs, the French actress said in a recent Harper’s Bazaar interview that acting in Europe is easier on a woman than it is being in the industry in the U.S.
“The industry in America…” she trails off, searching for the words. “I find it harsh on women. It’s hard for women to age. I don’t want to be afraid not to be desirable or to lose my contract. In America, it’s economic, and when it becomes a matter of making money, you lose your freedom. I don’t feel comfortable with the fact that you have to tick all the boxes. Being a woman on screen is easier in Europe.

Trust nobody except yourself ... and, on occasion, an irresistibly debonair Andrew Scott. Everybody loves a good con man story, and "Ripley," a new limited series debuting on Netflix this year, looks like it'll be delivering the goods. After the first "Ripley" trailer introduced potential viewers to the buzzy, black-and-white project and answered the question on all of our minds -- just who the heck is Tom Ripley? -- the streamer is now playing up the air of suspense and suspicion surrounding the "Sherlock" star's latest high-profile role. Basically, not a single person should trust this grifter who is running rampant all over 1960s Italy.
Scott may have been at risk of being typecast as nothing but villainous characters at one point, with no worse offender than his appearance in 2015's "Spectre," but the "Fleabag" and "All of Us Strangers" actor has since shown off his broad range of talents and,...

Ferrari star Jack O'Connell is open to playing James Bond, but his decision will be based on the script and director. Bond producer Barbara Groccoli is not rushing to choose the next 007, and the longer break could benefit the franchise. Historical gaps between Bond movies prove that the extended break could heighten the excitement for the next installment.

Fan-favorite picks for the next Bond are probably wrong — and that's not a bad thing as the franchise ushers in a new era. Selecting a younger actor for Bond 26 is key to revitalizing the legendary character's legacy. The next James Bond actor may not be a household name, which means dark horse contenders could snag the coveted role.
Casting a new James Bond actor is increasingly difficult work. When it comes to figuring out the next 007, almost every fan-favorite prediction is probably wrong — but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, the titular British Secret Service agent has appeared in 25 films in the Eon Productions series, making said saga one of the longest continually running film series in history. Starting in 1962 with Dr. No, the James Bond film series proved to be a box office smash. In 2024, it stands as the fifth-highest-grossing film franchise.

If you told me there was a plan in place to make four Beatles biopics — one each about John, Paul, George, and Ringo — and that they were going to be directed by Richard Linklater, I’d be suffused with curiosity and excitement. If you told me that those same four movies were going to be directed by Martin Scorsese, I’d be suffused with curiosity and excitement. If you told me that a quartet of Beatles biopics were going to be directed (one apiece) by Linklater, Scorsese, Greta Gerwig, and Todd Haynes, I’d be suffused with curiosity and excitement — and, in fact, that last option would make a beautiful kind of sense.

When it comes to arguably the biggest acts in rock music history, how does one go about making a film adaptation that lives up to the legend? The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll, Elvis Presley, would get his own flashy, epic treatment courtesy of Baz Luhrmann’s visual flair in 2022. But for a band like The Beatles, how do you truly capture the journey in a feature film? Director Sam Mendes has the answer. You do four feature films. Deadline has the breaking story that the Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty director will audaciously attempt to cover the story of The Beatles with four films, which will each concentrate on a member of the band.

Bond 26 faces a challenge in living up to past success and the legacy of Daniel Craig's reinvention of the character. The new Bond film's delay suggests careful planning, but risks losing momentum in a rapidly changing industry. The future Bond actor must navigate high expectations, evolving storytelling, and stiff competition in the spy genre.
James Bond is one of the most enduring franchises in movie history, but making Bond 26 as successful as past iterations is going to be a challenge. Daniel Craig, the last actor to take up the mantle of 007, reshaped the character of Bond in many ways, as did the films he starred in. Audience members have high expectations for who will be the next actor to embody the role, as well as the tonal shift the next film needs to take to stay relevant.
