One Piece is a world that expands on a power system unique to its own. Each and every character has a skill set that makes them stand apart. Whether it is about the Devil Fruits, the Yonkos, or the mythologies streaming behind the river of possibilities. One of the most mysterious of the lot happens to be Sanji. His powers have so far been either a developing concoction or a brewing tale.

One theory, interestingly enough, suggests that his true abilities have always been in front of the fans. In fact, while the series may not have officially introduced his actual potential yet, there is a strong possibility that there is a process underway.

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with Freud’s Last Session, which Sony Pictures Classics pre-bought after teaming with star Anthony Hopkins to release his Oscar-winning turn in The Father.
The film had its world premiere at AFI Fest and hits U.S. theaters December 22.
Freud’s Last Session began as a play by Mark St. Germain, who adapted the script for the feature with director Matt Brown. The premise originally came to St. Germain after reading Harvard psychiatrist Armand Nicholi’s book The Question of God (later a PBS series), which compared Sigmund Freud’s and C.S. Lewis’ thoughts on faith and human nature based on their collective scholarship and letters.
Both the play and movie are set on September 3, 1939, when the atheist Freud (Hopkins) and devoutly religious Lewis (Matthew Goode), two of the century’s greatest minds, meet and debate the...

An imagined conversation between two eminent historical figures who may or may not have ever met — nobody seems to know — forms the heart of Freud’s Last Session, an intellectual fable from Sony Pictures Classics that grew out of a play and, before that, a book and an Ivy League seminar.
Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins plays the inventor of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, opposite Matthew Goode as the celebrated author and theologian C.S. Lewis in a cerebral clash of titans. But as co-writer and director Matthew Brown said on Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles panel, the movie version as he envisioned it almost didn’t happen.
“I mean you always dream that you would have an actor like Hopkins say he would do the role,” Brown said. “And we did try once and we didn’t get very far. And then we did some more work on the script and tried again.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes it’s a loaded symbol in an imagined conversation between world-famous “sex doc” Sigmund Freud and converted atheist C.S. Lewis.
In the stage play turned only-slightly-less-stagy film, “Freud’s Last Session,” these two titans of 20th-century thought meet at the psychoanalyst’s London home in early September 1939 to discuss God, father figures (both spiritual and biological) and, of course, sex. Freud famously had a way of making everything about sex, and once he lights his cigar — a prop that Freud treats every bit as portentously as one might Chekhov’s proverbial gun — the subject effectively chases out their more gripping disagreement over faith.
Expanding only slightly on the stuffiness of his tweedy 2015 biopic, “The Man Who Knew Infinity,” director Matthew Brown has taken the play by Mark St. Germain and whittled away a bit of the talk (thereby making room for formative...

On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around. That is exactly what Mark St. Germain did in creating his 2009 play Freud’s Last Session, which was built on the 1967 Harvard lectures of Dr. Armond M. Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.

Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis battle over the existence of God on the eve of World War II in Freud’s Last Session.
The first trailer for the Sony Pictures Classics film starring Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode released on Wednesday, and sees the two actors portraying the famed psychologist and author, respectively.
“Why would you come here to see me if you disagree so passionately with my views?” Hopkins’ Freud asks Goode’s Lewis from across his office desk.
It’s two days after Hitler has invaded Poland, as German bombs rattle England, Freud — who fled Vienna following Nazi forces’ presence in his homeland — is now visited by the theologian Lewis in London. Not quite famous yet to the degree his Chronicles of Narnia series will bring him, the former atheist turned Christian has come to confront the “Father of Psychoanalysis.”

With her sixth feature, “The Beguiled,” Sofia Coppola returns to Cannes in the main Competition. It’s her first time since 2006, when the reception for royal costume drama “Marie Antoinette” evolved from a scattering of boos to become a reported misfire. That’s the power of the Cannes echo chamber. Her visually sumptuous and witty $40 million studio movie earned a standing ovation at the public screening and a range of reviews, but only made $60.8 million worldwide — not nearly enough to make it profitable.
Coppola had better Cannes luck with her smaller-scaled first feature, the dreamy literary adaptation “The Virgin Suicides” ($10.6 million worldwide). It starred Kirsten Dunst and broke out of Director’s Fortnight with critics’ raves. Her Tokyo-set Bill Murray-Scarlett Johansson two-hander “Lost in Translation” ($117 million worldwide) debuted in Venice on its way to Coppola’s Original Screenplay Oscar.

As part of her payment to the king for getting her husband out of the Bastille, Claire helped in a sort of trial to determine if two men accused of black magic—her friend, Master Raymond, and her enemy, the Comte St. Germain—deserved to be punished. She tried to get them all out of there alive by having them both drink a potion she knew would make them visibly suffer but not die, but Master Raymond had other plans. After he drank it, he spiked the fake poison with real poison, and sent St. Germain sputtering and writhing to the...

More importantly, who wants an Outlander where Jamie and Claire aren’t shagging on the regular?...

“She is ‘the fuel of his rage,'” he tells TVLine in advance of this week’s episode, which finds the French aristocrat having several highly charged run-ins with the Frasers. “Claire and Jamie help to enrage him and infuriate him. They push him, definitely.”

Though their circumstances, carnal endurance and cheekbones suggest otherwise, Outlander‘s Jamie and Claire are, in fact, only human. Isn’t it nice to see, as we do in this week’s episode, that a bit of stress and a lack of sleep make them as susceptible to the same everyday bitchery as the rest of us?
Perhaps my current situation makes me a little sensitive to this kind of thing: Having a 1-year-old daughter offers me many gifts, but an overabundance of patience is not one of them, and my by-all-measures-amazing husband sometimes becomes the unintended target of my exhaustion.

That’s really the only acceptable response to this week’s Outlander, unless your vocabulary and/or heritage means you’ve got a long stream of Gaelic curses handy for the yelling. Because good God, guys: Black Jack Randall is alive.
I don’t say that with surprise; like many of you, I’m familiar with the books and knew this moment was coming even before the first time Randall leered at Claire in the woods. Still, though, the mere idea that Randall lives — and that Jamie may eventually learn of his existence, too — is a juicy...

Outlander‘s Claire Fraser doesn’t do things in half measures, does she?
When Lady Broch Tuarach runs afoul of local merchant Le Comte St. Germain in the Starz drama’s season premiere, she “inadvertently gets his ship destroyed,” star Caitriona Balfe succinctly puts it in this new video. And because the aforementioned businessman is a powerful and influential member of French society (who, we’ll soon learn, happens to dabble in the dark arts), that makes the Frasers’ new life as wine sellers/war preventers even more complicated than it already is.

It's a whole new ballgame when Outlander picks back up in season two. Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie's (Sam Heughan) little foray into the French court of Louis Xv will introduce them—and us—to a whole bunch of new friends and new enemies on the road to changing history. When E! News spoke with the stars at the show's New York premiere, Balfe gave us a little preview of some of Claire's new alliances and one of the season's big villains. "Quite quickly, we meet Comte St. Germain (Stanley Weber) who, again, Claire gets herself into trouble by speaking before she thinks," Balfe says. "He's a very dark character and possibly much more...

Sam Heughan missed his kilt.
The longing is understandable. After all, the Outlander star spent most of the Starz drama’s first season running around the Scottish highlands in Jamie Fraser’s airy ensemble, and those kind of threads can grow on a guy.
Season 2, which premieres April 9 (9/8c), plucks Jamie and his time-traveling wife Claire from Scotland’s rough countryside and sets them down in Paris, where they’ll work to thwart a royal-wannabe’s doomed play for the British throne.

Recently, TV Line got to talk with "Outlander" executive producer, Ronald D. Moore, and he served up some very interesting spoiler teasery for the upcoming season 2. It turns out that the scenery and feel will be extremely different than season 1 as they will be in Paris,France, and it's going to feature fancy dinner parties, deception, the court of Louis and more. Ronald told them: "It’s going to be a whole different tone, a whole different…playing the story as much more political. We’re dealing with the Jacobite Rebellion. It’s much more about deception, and lies within lies, and the gossips and the surroundings of Paris. And dinner parties, and going to the court of Louis the Xv — and if you know those books, there’s St. Germain, and there’s Master Raymond, and there’s more of an occult feeling to a lot of that stuff.

Now that the brutal -- but still hopeful and very emotional -- "Outlander" Season 1 finale is in the past, what does the future hold for Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) in Season 2? Executive producer Ronald D. Moore had several rounds of interviews after the May 30 finale, discussing plans for the next adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's novels.
Moore told Deadline they were roughly three weeks into Season 2 at the time, and "the footage looks really good." Here are more Moore quotes to Deadline:
The general plan is probably to try to do a book a season. Some of the books are bigger than others so we've definitely had conversations about, "well, you know, at some point we made need to split a book into two seasons," but right now we're not there yet so the plan is to do Dragonfly In Amber for Season 2.

This review contains spoilers.
2.2. Reunion
As I recall it took at least half a dozen episodes of Helix in season one before it degenerated into a complete mess. But those behind it have clearly streamlined that process and now managed it in just two.
Not much of what went on in the opening story could handle much scrutiny, but absolutely nothing in this one fits any rational explanations. Yes, I know this is supposedly ‘sci-fi’, but where it mostly comes unstuck is in portraying simple human interactions. Nobody in this show acts like a normal person, under any circumstances.
First we’re given a flashback of Alan reducing the immortal 500 to significantly fewer, because he’s angry. And that leads him to St. Germain Island, which we’re now told is 400 miles from Seattle. Last...

When Sam Raimi was attached to direct Spider-Man 4, it was rumored that one of the villains would be the vampire Morbius. That would have been amazing to see, and I was really hoping that would happen. But, as you know, Sony Pictures ditched the project and rebooted Spider-Man instead. I don't know if we'll ever get to see Morbius on the big screen at this point, but that's ok because we have fun short fan film for you to check out that I think you'll really like. The short was directed by Chaz Dray, and it's called "Morbius: The Living Vampire." Here is a brief plot summary:
In attempt to cure himself of a deadly blood disease, Dr. Michael Morbius takes his science too far. Now he must find his place in a world that will not accept him. He is the hero. He is the predator. He is the lost.
