In 2018, Michelle and Barack Obama's production company Higher Ground signed a multi-year deal with Netflix, the biggest streaming service in the world. The Obamas were set to produce a number of high-profile projects, both scripted and unscripted.
Their first scripted project will premiere on May 9th, and it's not what you might have expected from the former President and First Lady. Bodkin is a dark comedy/mystery/thriller set in a small Irish town, starring comedy legend Will Forte.
What's It About?
True crime podcasters Gilbert (Forte), Dove (Siobhán Cullen), and Emmy (Robyn Cara) are desperately hoping to find a story juicy enough to make their podcast stand out in a crowded market. They decide to head to Ireland, where three strangers once disappeared from the (fictional) small coastal town of Bodkin.
The podcasters come to Bodkin on the festival of Samhain (which one character flippantly describes as 'the Irish Day of the Dead'.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” director Sam Taylor-Johnson needed way more than just 50 days to regroup after the infamously “tough” production.
“Back to Black” helmer Taylor-Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter that directing the 2015 romance drama required her to take four years off of work. Taylor-Johnson admitted that she and novelist E.L. James had “diametrically opposed visions” on what the adaptation should be like. The feature was a critical failure but a box-office success, propelling lead stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan further into fame and spurring a trilogy.
“This was her book and she had a very particular vision of how she wanted to see this film,” Taylor-Johnson said of James. “And I had a diametrically opposed vision. Where we got to is where we got to. The success of it was great, but the experience of it was tough.”
Taylor-Johnson added, “It took me about four years to regain my confidence and composure.

For anyone who witnessed her tumultuous rise to fame and eventual fall from grace, it’s clear that Amy Winehouse was truly one of a kind. A diamond in the rough that not only needed to be handled with kid gloves, but one who also craved love and attention from all the wrong people. Her sudden death at the age of 27 in the summer of 2011, while not entirely unexpected, was still a huge shock for most of us.
The story of how a bright and talented nice Jewish girl from North London became prime tabloid fodder and a global superstar, is told with a fair amount of contrivance in this slightly disjointed biopic from Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson.

When Sam Taylor-Johnson started working on her Amy Winehouse biopic, Back to Black, she asked screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh to listen to one of Winehouse’s tracks, “Tears Dry on Their Own,” before he started writing. “I kept saying in those early days, ‘I feel like this song is our path to understanding her,’ ” Taylor-Johnson says.
In the deceptively upbeat single about Winehouse’s tumultuous relationship with her on-again, off-again love, Blake Fielder-Civil, she sings, “It’s my responsibility/And you don’t owe nothing to me.”
For Taylor-Johnson, 57, that line spoke to something largely misunderstood about Winehouse, the English singer who died of alcohol poisoning in 2011: Just 27, she left behind an outsize cultural impact. Winehouse’s defining album, Back to Black, sold more than 16 million copies worldwide, and her unique mix of jazz and soul with punk-era defiance would go on to influence artists like Adele, Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish.

The Holocaust’s horrors were immortalized on screen by Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, one of the greatest films ever made about Oskar Schindler’s mission to save over a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees. The film became a cultural icon thanks to the brilliant black-and-white cinematography of Janusz Kamiński and the screenplay by Steven Zaillian.
The film, which starred Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, has a ton of interesting behind-the-scenes material because making a 195-minute epic is not a small feat. Indeed, Neeson’s career was greatly impacted by the movie. The role that really set Neeson apart is his portrayal of Oskar Schindler. Even though Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford both have impressive acting resumes, Neeson’s performance even puts him above them.

Four new singers showed up on The Masked Singer this week. One of the new singers went home at the night’s end when fans voted out Savannah Chrisley’s Afghan Hound after the Smackdown round. That final round saw Gumball beat out Afghan Hound to move on in the competition.
Here is what we know about Gumball on The Masked Singer and who we think is under that costume.
Gumball On The Masked Singer
Gumball performed twice on Wizard of Oz night on The Masked Singer. The first song he performed was a medley of two songs. The first was “If I Only Had A Heart” by Jack Haley and “Heartbeat Song” by Kelly Clarkson. Of course, that first song was straight out of The Wizard of Oz movie. The Smackdown saw Gumball and Afghan Hound sing “Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead.”

Rather than concentrate on niche side stories, perhaps Marvel should start making films about the webslinger himself once more
If there was a superhero with the power to make good comic book movies, one can imagine Sony would be all over trying to buy up the rights. Outside its splendid animated Spider-Man films and a team-up with Marvel on the recent trilogy of films starring Tom Holland’s masked webslinger, the studio has struggled. This is largely because it has inexplicably tried to manufacture interest in an assortment of superheroes and antiheroes who are part of Spidey’s world in the comics, but who the wider viewing public doesn’t know from Adam, the latest being Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web.

And then I was like consuming them. When the camera came around on to me and I could see her face like trying to tell me this is happening. They spent so much money painting the flies out.

Liam Neeson has given a terrific performance across all the different genres he has starred in, as both a hero as well as a villain. A mastermind, almost all of his portrayals have been critically acclaimed worldwide, earning him the title of being one of the most renowned legendary actors of his time in Hollywood. But there was one movie that made this very legendary actor almost lose it.
Liam Neeson in The Dark Knight Rises
This film was none other than the 1993 globally praised war/documentary masterpiece, Schindler’s List. In fact, the film had such a massive impact on Neeson that it had him weak in his knees before even the cameras rolled for his first scene — so much so that it might have been the very reason the actor ended up giving one of the best performances of his entire career!

Dakota Johnson’s Madame Web has been extremely disappointing for Marvel fans. Ever since its release, there has been considerable criticism of the film. However, the one thing that has stayed consistent is a lack of interest from a majority of fans. The negative conversation around the film has become so great that it cannot be brushed past during the film’s press tour.

Almost the entire cast of the film has spoken out about the poor performance in some way or the other. Johnson, on the other hand, has been very vocal. A recent comment by her about the film’s failure has caused many to praise her.

Inspired by E.L. James‘ novels of the same name, the Fifty Shades of Grey film franchise caused some controversy with their steamy storylines.
Centered around the dramatic romance between Dakota Johnson‘s Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan‘s Christian Grey, the series kicked off in 2015 and concluded three years later with Fifty Shades Freed.
They remain some of the top-grossing R-rated movies of all time, and they feature an appropriately talented (and wealthy) cast of actors.
We got a little curious and decided to do some digging and looked at the estimated net worth of the biggest celebrities to appear in the movies and ranked them. You might be surprised when you see who comes in first place with an estimated net worth of $150 million!

Not sure if Cavalry Media needs someone to come to the rescue, but the shaky shingle may now see its whole house of alleged cards come tumbling down.
Already trampled by financial ills, big-name exits and lawsuits related to the fatal 2021 shooting on Alec Baldwin’s Rust, the company run by Keegan Rosenberger and Ishan Sakena now faces a dirty-laundry lawsuit from former founder Dana Brunetti.
A year and change after Brunetti, the House of Cards executive producer and ex-Cavalry chief content officer, headed out the door to pursue his own projects (as they always say), he is now suing the company for more than $1 million in “wrongfully” withheld wages and more. Or, as the lawsuit quotes Brunetti declaring to CEO Rosenberger in a tense digital November 13, 2022 exchange in which he learned he wasn’t going to get paid his $750,000-per-year salary: “I’m not going to be rolled over and squeezed.

Despite its poor impression on the critics and its lackluster performance at the box office, the movie has created a significant amount of buzz among cinephiles. Apart from the fact that the movie is the newest addition to Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, Dakota Johnson being in the lead role also attracted a fair amount of attention.
Although the movie is not performing too well on the critical and commercial front, the press tour for the movie has fans pretty hooked.
