Films have a magical ability to transport us across worlds and time when done right. While fictional tales have their own magic, some stories are so extraordinary, so deeply human, that they deserve to be told on the silver screen.

Such biographical dramas, rooted in real-life events, have the rare power to not only captivate and entertain but also to educate and inspire. These films peel away the layers of history and paint a picture of the triumphs, struggles, and complexities of some of the most remarkable individuals who helped shape the world and occasionally, and made it a better place.

From tales of heroism in the face of unimaginable horrors and adversities to stories of quiet resilience, Hollywood has no shortage of biographical dramas that resonate. Although there are times when the creative flair takes over and adds a bit of dramatic flourish to create a story worthy of cinematic appeal,...

From 5 p.m. Pt/8 p.m. Et on June 25, all ten episodes in the upcoming season will debut on Hulu, with Disney+ hosting the series internationally.

A year has passed since The Bear's third season became the lowest-rated of the series on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with many citing issues with pacing and tone as reasons for the drop-off in quality.

The daughter of one of the Von Erich brothers doesn’t believe her father was portrayed accurately in the A24 movie The Iron Claw.

Lacey Von Erich, daughter of Kerry Von Erich, is speaking out against the Sean Durkin-helmed project which centered around the influential wrestling family. On Monday’s episode of Investigation Discovery’s new docuseries Hollywood Demons, she says the depiction of her father in the movie was “so inaccurate it was heart-wrenching.”

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children, and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” Lacey says in the episode. “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

Lacey explained that she, her sister Hollie and her mother Catherine Murray were omitted from The Iron Claw‘s story. The film did,...

The Iron Claw, directed by Sean Durkin and starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, and Lily James, is a devastating exploration of masculinity and strength through the lens of the famous Von Erich wrestling family. When it was released in 2023, the film opened to great acclaim from fans and critics. However, Lacey Von Erich, the daughter of Kerry Von Erich (Jeremy Allen White in The Iron Claw), recently criticized the film for its dishonest portrayal of her father and the Von Erich clan.

Lacey Von Erich appears in an upcoming episode of Investigation Discovery's Hollywood Demons, which airs on April 21. If you have watched The Iron Claw and don't remember Kerry having children, it's because the movie omitted his wife and kids to hone in on his internal demons. "My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children, and he didn’t have a wife or anything,...

Lacey Von Erich, daughter of late professional wrestler Kerry Von Erich, has criticized The Iron Claw for its portrayal of her father in the A24 biographical film. Speaking in a preview for an upcoming episode of Hollywood Demons on Investigation Discovery, she said the film left out significant aspects of his personal life.

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” she said. “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

Kerry Von Erich, played by Jeremy Allen White, is depicted in the film during a period that includes his motorcycle crash, the resulting foot amputation, his use of painkillers, and his death by suicide in 1993. The film does not mention his wife, Catherine Murray, or their daughters,...

The Von Erich family is speaking up to say A24 got it wrong.

In a forthcoming episode of Investigation Discovery’s docuseries “Hollywood Demons,” which airs Monday, Lacey Von Erich, the daughter of Kerry Von Erich (played by Jeremy Allen White), said A24 left out some crucial details with its portrayal of her professional wrestler father.

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” Lacy Von Erich said in a preview for “Hollywood Demons” (via The Independent). “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

“The Iron Claw” depicts Kerry Von Erich’s motorcycle incident, which led to his foot amputation, his addiction to painkillers and ultimately his suicide. However, the film omits his wife, Catherine Murray, and his two daughters.

Nearly two years after A24 immortalized the wrestling family’s tragic story on the big screen in The Iron Claw, the Von Erichs are speaking up.

In an upcoming episode of Investigation Discovery‘s Hollywood Demons, airing Monday at 9pm, Lacey Von Erich criticized the Sean Durkin-helmed 2023 film for its “inaccurate” and “heart-wrenching” depiction of her father Kerry Von Erich (portrayed by Jeremy Allen White).

“My sister and I were not in the movie as my dad’s children and he didn’t have a wife or anything,” said Lacey, who is also a wrestler, in a preview. “And that was a really big part of my dad. So how he was portrayed in the movie is so inaccurate that it was heart-wrenching.”

Although The Iron Claw addressed Kerry’s motorcycle crash that led to his foot being amputated, his abuse of painkillers and his death by suicide in...

Jeremy Allen White has been a rising star for many years, but his recent performance has put him in the spotlight. He is widely recognized for his intense and emotionally tormented role of chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in The Bear. However, White’s journey to stardom didn’t start in the chaotic kitchen.

His first big role was in the series Shameless as Lip Gallagher, where he played the role of a street-smart yet troubled young guy. He showcased his talent for more than a decade in the 11-season series. Beyond Shameless, he displayed his acting in After Everything, where he played a young man battling cancer and navigating his love life.

Most people will recognize White from his iconic role as Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in the Golden Globe Award-winning comedy-drama series The Bear. His remarkable performance as the young Italian chef has earned him three Golden Globe Awards and two Emmys. If you're a long-time fan, you might also remember him from the comedy-drama Shameless, where he played Phillip "Lip" Gallagher.

But White hasn't confined himself to only television. His latest film role saw him playing Kerry Von Erich in the biographical sports drama The Iron Claw. We'll see...

The Iron Claw unapologetically holds a mirror to the world of professional wrestling – the same world it bases itself on. The A24 film, which brims with energy but also superficiality, is based on the true story of the Von Erich wrestling dynasty – a Texas family plagued by tragedy.

Jeremy Allen White is looking to go from “The Bear” to the Boss, as the actor is in talks to play Bruce Springsteen in an upcoming narrative feature about the making of his 1982 album “Nebraska,” Variety has confirmed.

No deals have been finalized, but Scott Cooper is circling to write and direct the movie, titled “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” which hails from Eric Robinson and Ellen Goldsmith-Vein of the Gotham Group. A24 is also in talks to board the project. Scott Stuber, in his first major film project since leaving his post as head of film at Netflix, has joined as a producer.

The film is an adaptation of Warren Zanes’ 2023 book “Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.” It will follow Springsteen and the journey of making his sixth studio album, a dark, stripped-down collection of songs that marked a new artistic direction from the “Born to Run” rocker.

“The Sadness Will Last Forever”: The life of wrestler Kevin Von Erich could probably be described by the iconic final words of Vincent Van Gogh. Sean Darkin’s Von Erich biopic, titled The Iron Claw, is the depiction of that story, which is inarguably one of the saddest possible ones to grace cinema in recent years. My head still hurts thanks to the amount of tears the movie made me shed during its final ten minutes, which only indicates that Darkin has nailed it—and so has the cast, led by an impeccable Zac Efron as Kevin, in his career-best performance. We’re going to dissect, discuss, and attempt to find the answer to the biggest question this movie floats, regarding the existence of a curse in the ill-fated Texas-based family, and hopefully find some solace by the end of the article.

Sadly, even the claws are not enough to prey on the Oscar nominations. Robbed of even a single Oscar nomination, The Iron Claw can relate to it. An inspiring story of the real-life Von Erich brothers, The Iron Claw became fans’ favorite without a doubt. Released on December 22, 2023, the movie is an ambitious and forceful account of the top-gear wrestlers of the early 1980s.

The movie has already been nominated for the National Board of Review Award for Best Ensemble. However, the actors and the crew seem to be unhappy because of not getting the most prestigious award which they, as well as their fans, think that they rightfully deserved.
