Henry Cavill is all set to collaborate again with director Guy Ritchie on the historic action film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Based on the real-life special forces team assembled by Winston Churchill, the film has an ensemble cast along with Cavill, including Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, and Carry Elwes.
The action-heavy film has two heavy hitters in the form of Cavill and Ritchson. However, Cavill mentioned that he was glad that the Reacher star took away his burden of doing a lot of action sequences. Cavill mentioned that Ritchson took the bulk of the action sequences while he could concentrate on his acting.

Whether you love Netflix's take on "The Witcher" or just love to hate it, there's no denying that this season's major battle episode was pretty epic. In episode six of season 3, the coup at Aretuza quickly transformed into an all-out fight, with bodies exploding and a ring of fire raining down upon both sides -- not to mention a final confrontation that left our titular witcher in bad shape. In the midst of all the chaos, though, the show makes time for a brief, effortlessly cool moment: the death of Rience (Sam Woolf).
Rience was been positioned as a shadowy, dangerous schemer since day one. He was a fire mage with a stereotypical villain scar on his face who spent much of the series hot on Ciri's (Freya Allan) trail. But when he finally got the chance to face off against her, it was a short-lived moment that was...

Netflix's "The Witcher" may stray from both Andrzej Sapkowski's books and the popular video game series, but the controversial show does not skimp on the brutality. Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) slashes his enemies every which way, lopping limbs and halving torsos with fell swoops of his steel and silver swords. Geralt must be ruthless to survive, because in the Continent, he's one of the good guys. Elves, monsters, mages, and outlaws are all out there, scheming to get a piece of each other by spells, archery, or simple, old fashioned, bone crushing savagery.
"The Witcher" doesn't have the cold brutality found in "Game of Thrones," even in its most vicious moments. But in terms of sheer quantity and variety — men, monsters, magic, swordplay, hand-to-hand, entire pitched battles — "The Witcher" is among the most quantifiably brutal fantasy shows going. So, after tallying up three seasons of death and destruction,...

It’s easy to find connections between Netflix’s The Witcher and HBO’s Game of Thrones, since both shows take place in a medieval setting full of monsters and mythological creatures. But still, one unexpected link between the two fantasy series is surprising many fans.
The new live-action adaptation was poised to become the next big thing in television and if the overwhelmingly positive reaction from viewers is any indication, The Witcher is indeed a worthy successor to Game of Thrones. People simply love the new series by Netflix, and even though some fans criticize the plot for drifting away from the source material, all the signs suggest that Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia is here to stay for a while.
But the fact remains that Game of Thrones did a lot to pave the way for fantasy to be taken seriously again, and many felt The Witcher...

Christopher McQuarrie has worked with Tom Cruise for the last 12 years as a screenwriter, and first directed him in “Jack Reacher” before taking over the “Mission: Impossible” franchise. He’s often talked about the vital role Cruise plays in the storytelling and script structure. McQuarrie believes Cruise’s imprint on his films is not linked to a specific onscreen persona, but rather his insistence that every decision works toward increasing the audience’s emotional clarity.
What is so impressive about “Mission Impossible – Fallout” is that as an action director, McQuarrie brings this concept to another level. The extended action set pieces in “Fallout” delivers the jaw-dropping practical stunts we have come to expect from the franchise, but more importantly they are imbued with story and increase our emotional involvement. IndieWire recently sat down for an extended interview with McQuarrie as part of Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast, and posed the question: How...
