Tarde o temprano tenía que ocurrir. Porque estamos en plena época dorada de las adaptaciones de videojuegos. Esa fiebre que ha catapultado a la gran y pequeña pantalla juegos de la talla de Super Mario Bros, The Last of Us, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Fallout o Minecraft: la película, entre otros, y pronto también Death Stranding, Elden Ring o The Legend of Zelda.

Netflix es muy consciente de esto y no quiere quedarse atrás, por lo que ha anunciado que ya están trabajando en una serie de acción real basada en la emblemática saga Assassin’s Creed, lanzada en 2007 por Ubisoft.

En dicho anuncio, la plataforma de streaming ha prometido «un thriller de alto octanaje» con una trama centrada, según sus propias palabras, en...

It's a day ending in 'y' folks, so you know what that means... another buzzy new adaptation of a hugely successful video game franchise is in the works! Yes, with everything from Split Fiction to The Legend Of Zelda to Mass Effect currently in various stages of film and TV adaptation development, Netflix — who've enjoyed success in this field with the likes of Arcane, The Witcher, and Castlevania in recent years — have just committed to a biggie. Per Deadline's reporting, after years in limbo, a live-action series based on Ubisoft's stealth action franchise Assassin's Creed has finally been greenlit at the streamer.

Netflix initially announced it was diving into Ubisoft's world of assassins, Animuses (Animi/), and templars way back in October 2020, just three years after Justin Kurzel's somewhat underwhelming, Michael Fassbender starring Assassin's Creed hit cinemas in 2017. Radio silence — and two further AC games (9th century Baghdad-set Mirage...

Nearly five years after Netflix entered into a content agreement with Ubisoft, the streamer has ordered an Assassin’s Creed live-action series, based on the best-selling video game franchise.

The project will be created, showrun, and executive produced by Roberto Patino and David Wiener. Executive producers also include Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television, and Matt O’Toole.

Assassin’s Creed, the series, is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.

“We’ve been fans of Assassin’s Creed since its release in 2007. Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin’s Creed opens to us,...

It follows a young photographer, Jacs, who returns home after her best friend takes her own life. As Jacs presses to learn more about her friend’s death, she begins to suspect that the men in Kel’s life are keeping secrets. She ends up in a dangerous plot loaded with seduction, lies, and abuse that is more complicated than she could have imagined.

What Is Ryan Gosling’s Favorite Comedy Movie?(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Ryan Gosling could’ve said Casablanca. He could’ve said Citizen Kane. But no, he picked Step Brothers. While chatting with Still Watching Netflix to promote The Gray Man two years ago, Gosling dropped the kind of cinematic confession that instantly earns him honorary couch potato status.

“You tell people your favorite movie is On the Waterfront when it’s really Step Brothers,” the Barbie star admitted. And frankly, that’s a good take. Let’s break that down: Step Brothers, a film once described by critics as a chaotic mess with juvenile humor, is Gosling’s go-to feel-good flick.

“You could be in a bad place in your life, you could be in a great place in your life, it’s always the right time,” he said during the chat. And just like that, he gave us the...

Lately, things have been increasingly weird for Nicholas Hoult. Then again, his characters have always been kind of weird. When we first met him in About A Boy 23 years ago, he played a socially awkward kid determined to secure himself a stepdad in the event his mother (Toni Collette) killed herself. Then in Skins, the TV show that made him far more famous than he was comfortable with, he played the manipulative, morally dubious Tony Stonem. In the closest thing he’s made to a romantic comedy, 2013’s Warm Bodies, he’s a zombie with a literally dead heart. Even Hoult thinks he’s at his best when he’s having the most fun, doing weird shit like getting pissed off with a duck and threatening to eat its liver with a cornichon in Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, or in George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, where he played Nux,...

Jafar Panahi’s road-movie thriller It Was Just an Accident claimed the A$60,000 Sydney Film Prize at the 72nd Sydney Film Festival’s closing ceremony, drawing a standing ovation inside the State Theatre and praise from a jury that called the picture “courageous” and “brimming with truth”.

Director Justin Kurzel’s panel selected the film for its “audacious, cutting-edge and courageous” approach, the festival confirmed in its winners’ announcement. The award capped a record-breaking edition that sold more than 150,000 tickets—an 11 percent jump on last year, according to festival chief Frances Wallace.

Panahi appeared in person to accept the prize, a rare public outing made possible by the easing of the travel ban that once confined him to Iran. Festival staff kept his visit secret until opening night to avoid jeopardising the director, who spent months in prison and years under house arrest for films that challenge Tehran’s authorities.

Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi has won the top award at the 72nd Sydney Film Festival with It Was Just An Accident, three weeks after scooping the Palme d’Or at Cannes.

The award was presented on Sunday (June 15) at Sydney’s State Theatre and includes a cash prize of $39,000.

The 72nd Sydney Film Festival has concluded with Iranian director Jafar Panahi claiming the event’s top honor, taking home the Sydney Film Prize for “It Was Just An Accident.”

The film previously won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.

The Sydney win nets Panahi Aud$60,000 for what the competition jury described as an “audacious, cutting-edge and courageous” film. The announcement was made ahead of the Australian premiere screening of Cannes hit “Splitsville.”

Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel served as jury president for the main competition, joining New Zealand actor-director Rachel House, producer and Marrakech Film Festival director Melita Toscan du Plantier, Australian actor-writer Thomas Weatherall, and Hong Kong-based film distributor Winnie Tsang.

The jury praised the winner as “a courageous film with a deep soul and a powerful sense of forgiveness” that “embodied outstanding performances and an understated authority which is brimming with truth.”

They noted the strength of debut features in competition,...

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places”, said Ernest Hemingway. But in Sebastian Stan’s case? He doesn’t just get strong; he shapeshifts, reinvents, and signs six more films like he’s casually ordering coffee.

We’ve always felt that Stan is one of those actors who walks the line between mainstream fame and indie intensity. You blink, and he’s Bucky Barnes crashing through Marvel blockbusters. You blink again, and he’s somewhere in a dark psychological thriller, chewing the scenery with an acclaimed director. And now, even as Avengers: Doomsday looms on the 2026 horizon with Tom Hiddleston beside him, Stan is stacking up a cinematic arsenal outside the Marvel machine and it’s deliciously eclectic.

Oh, and Thunderbolts* just dropped, so yes, he’s still very much knee-deep in super-suits and secrets.

Australian actor Jacob Elordi, known for his standout performances in Saltburn and Priscilla, takes on a harrowing new role as a World War II prisoner of war in The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Based on Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize-winning novel, the Prime Video miniseries is set in Elordi’s hometown and marks another major milestone in the actor’s fast-rising career. Immediately after wrapping, the actor stepped into another demanding role — as the creature in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein. Below, Elordi opens up about diving into the emotional and physical landscape of The Narrow Road, his experience returning to work in Australia and the unexpected connection between playing a Pow and his role in Frankenstein.

Gold Derby: What drew you to the role Lt. Col. Dorrigo Evans?

Jacob Elordi: The director, Justin Kurzel, who was a filmmaker that I've been a fan...

Jacob Elordi says embodying Dorrigo Evans in the five-part miniseries The Narrow Road to the Deep North forced him “through a layer of hell,” yet deepened his commitment to acting’s “circus,” a passion he insists keeps growing with each role. The Australian actor shed weight to portray the starving Pow, joining dozens of extras on a six-week regimen that director Justin Kurzel believes gave the rail-camp scenes “a brutal truth.”

Produced by Sony and Amazon, the adaptation of Richard Flanagan’s Booker-winning novel premiered in April and will move to the BBC and other outlets later this year. Industry notes from the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts describe the series as charting Evans’s path from clandestine romance to reluctant national hero. Critics have responded warmly; Rotten Tomatoes lists 100 percent approval, praising Elordi’s performance as “sterling,” and Guardian reviewer Luke Buckmaster highlighted the chemistry between Elordi and Odessa Young.

Jacob Elordi keeps waiting for the day he might lose his love for acting. It hasn’t happened yet, and he hopes it never will.

In fact, the Australian actor, who most recently played a haunted prisoner of war in Justin Kurzel’s The Narrow Road to the Deep North, feels like he’s just getting started.

“I’m just incredibly open to being a part of the circus right now, in a way. I really love being an actor. I don’t know, silly as that it may sound, the love for it just keeps going deeper and deeper,” he tells Deadline.

In The Narrow Road to the Deep North, adapted from Richard Flanagan’s novel, Elordi stars as Lieutenant-Colonel Dorrigo Evans, a celebrated World War II hero who is haunted by his experiences in a Japanese prisoner of war camp and memories of an affair with Amy Mulvaney...

Without knowing it, Jacob Elordi and Justin Kurzel had formed a mutual admiration society prior to collaborating on the limited series “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.” Elordi had been a fan of the filmmaker, a fellow Aussie, since seeing Kurzel’s gutting 2011 feature debut, “Snowtown,” when he was a young teenager. “Especially in Australia, it’s one of the first films that you find when you’re in high school that’s a little different and you have to talk to people about,” says the actor.

Kurzel, like the rest of the world, had been watching Elordi’s ascent in projects like “Euphoria,” “Priscilla” and “Saltburn.” He sent the actor an email saying he was adapting Richard Flanagan’s acclaimed novel “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” for television. And he wanted Elordi to play the role of Dorrigo Evans, a soldier whose passionate love affair with...

Jacob Elordi’s latest project is a return to TV with Justin Kurzel’s limited series “The Narrow Road to the Deep North,” which premiered on Prime Video last month. Following its premiere in Berlin in February, reviews raved about Elordi’s performance as 1940s war doctor Dorrigo Evans, following the Aussie story adapted from Richard Flanagan’s novel of the same name.

For his first television role following “Euphoria,” Elordi was particularly drawn in by director Kurzel, who sent him an email asking if he had interest in the project, and in turn, led him toward his most profound performance to date. Upon signing onto the series, he had 12 months to sit with the material and prepare before filming began. “I had about a year to myself to marinate in all of the period information and in the book. I had a long time, quite boringly, to just sit and think about it,...

One of the most chilling scenes in Justin Kurzel's "The Order" (a movie that's found a larger audience thanks to streaming) takes place at the National Alliance convention. There, Bob Mathews (Nicholas Hoult), the leader of the neo-Nazi terrorist group The Order (aka Silent Brotherhood), delivers a speech to recruit soldiers. The room he stands in is covered with giant swastikas and blood-red and freedom-blue American flags, and its air is heavy with hate and testosterone. Mathews knows his crowd. He pleads with the desperation and anger of these people, saying, "If you're like me, I'm not sure how much more talk I can hear. Cause that's all it is, isn't it? Talk, talk ... talk!" No action, no real results. He knows all the pressure points of the mind of a white supremacist to keep on pushing until empty words of hatred turn into vile actions of racism and violence.

Jacob Elordi’s performance in The Narrow Road Into the Deep North earned a last-minute shift onto the Primetime Emmy ballot, positioning the five-part Australian drama against heavyweight contenders in limited-series categories. Sony Pictures Television and Prime Video submitted the show just before the Television Academy’s May 8 deadline, moving it from the International branch into contention for Best Limited or Anthology Series, Lead Actor (Elordi), Directing (Justin Kurzel) and Writing (Shaun Grant).

Adapted from Richard Flanagan’s Booker Prize–winning novel, The Narrow Road Into the Deep North follows an Australian surgeon before and after World War II. Elordi portrays the younger version of a doctor whose Pow experience is haunted by memories of a wartime affair (Odessa Young) and revisited decades later by Ciarán Hinds. Since its April 18 release on Prime Video, the series has achieved a perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating, edging past Netflix’s British import Adolescence.

At the last minute, the Emmys race is getting a big new contender.

The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively report that The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a hugely acclaimed Australian limited series that was directed by Justin Kurzel (Nitram and The Order) and stars Jacob Elordi (Euphoria and Saltburn), was submitted for Primetime — as opposed to International — Emmys consideration just ahead of the TV Academy’s May 8 entry deadline.

The show, which Sony Pictures Television licensed to Amazon’s Prime Video, and which dropped on that streaming service April 18, will be on the ballot in a handful of categories: best limited or anthology series, actor in a limited or anthology series or a TV movie (Elordi), directing for a limited or anthology series or a TV movie (Kurzel), and writing for a limited or anthology series or a TV movie (Shaun Grant, who penned all five episodes).

It has been 5 years since it was announced that a TV adaptation of the Ubisoft gameAssassin's Creed will be produced and released on Netflix. And while updates have been scarce, this latest one should excite fans as multiple TV veterans were hired to be part of the show's writers' room. Some of the names involved worked on massive projects, such as The Acolyte and Station Eleven, to name a few.

It was reported that Westworld's executive producer, Roberto Patino, will be co-showrunning the Netflix series along with Halo's David Wiener. Joining them are a team of experienced writers and producers, including Claire Kiechel (The Acolyte), Jaquén Castellanos (The Affair), Sanaz Toossi (A League of Their Own), Emily St John Mandel (Station Eleven), Sam Reynolds (The Walking Dead: World Beyond), Daniel Goldberg, and Tom Hemmings.

The Assassin's Creed franchise is getting a redo in live-action, and Netflix has moved quickly to assemble a team of veteran television writers for their upcoming streaming series adaptation. The best-selling action adventure franchise famously got a feature film released in theaters in 2016 starring Michael Fassbender, but it proved to be another misstep in the video game movie genre. The streamer looks to rewrite history with their new live-action series, which will be spearheaded by a Westworld alum.

Nexus Point News (via the Writer's Guild of America) reports that Roberto Patino, an executive producer for Westworld and the showrunner for HBO's Dmz, will act as executive producer and co-showrunner for Netflix's Assassin's Creed alongside David Wiener (Halo).

Burning Rainbow Farm, que se presentará en el Marché du Film de Cannes para su conseguir distribución, adapta el libro de no ficción de Dean Kuipers y revive la trágica historia real de Tom Crosslin y Rollie Rohm, una pareja gay que, a finales de los 90, construyó una utopía pacífica y cannábica, que llegó a ser considerada por la revista High Times como uno de los 25 destinos imprescindibles para fumetas del mundo.

Based on a real-life story, Stan and Woodall will take on the role of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, two gay cannabis activists who met in the early 1990s and set up the peaceful, pot-friendly utopia Rainbow Farm in Michigan, a site that was once listed by High Times magazine as “fourteenth on the list of twenty-five Top Stoner Travel Spots in the world. But the pair ran afoul of local authorities and, when their young son was taken from them, a police standoff ensued that would lead to one of the largest and most dramatic sieges America has ever seen.
