Now regarded as some of Hollywood's finest performers and most sought-after leading men, Willem Dafoe, Paul Bettany, and Tom Hardy were still paving a path for themselves in the entertainment industry when they joined forces for the 2003 murder mystery The Reckoning.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins.

Going into the spooky season, Amazon's streaming service Prime Video isn't adding much fright in the movie department, but still plenty of fun, with diamond robberies, hilarious cases of mistaken identity, courtroom drama, and not-so-heroic heroes all coming soon. With some coming through the sub-service Freevee (which is free exclusively on Amazon), there will be plenty of movies for everyone to enjoy.

Oct. 1 starts with A Fish Called Wanda, where some successful diamond robbers can't trust each other with the goods. Then, Fiddler on the Roof arrives, along with The Big Lebowski, where one random Dude is mistaken for a wealthy guy of the same name who's in trouble with a gang. In addition, there's 12 Angry Men, where one juror holds a teen's life in his hands, and James Gunn's The Suicide Sqaud, following a bunch of superpowered misfits who have to save the world. So here's everything we...

Before Jamie Lee Curtis could have fun making out with a “bunch of different men” while filming A Fish Called Wanda, she had one small request for her co-stars.

Curtis led the 1988 crime comedy as the title character Wanda, a grifter who takes part in a diamond heist with a group of gangsters. In an attempt to gather intel on the prized gems, she seduces lawyer Archie (John Cleese).

In other words, Wanda gets to “be the paramour for a bunch of different men”, the 64-year-old actor said in a new interview with Vulture, published on Tuesday 22 November.

“It was fun,” Curtis said of the experience, adding that she bought all her co-stars “toothbrushes on opening day”.

“You know, because it’s gross! You’re just gonna be making out with all these strange people. So I asked them to go brush their teeth,” she explained.

In addition to Cleese,...

“The funniest movie I have seen in a long time” – Roger Ebert

A Fish Called Wanda will be available on Blu-ray October 3rd from Arrow Video

In 1988, John Cleese, former Python and the mastermind behind Fawlty Towers, teamed up with the veteran Ealing Comedy director Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob) to produce another classic of British comedy.

Cleese plays Archie Leach, a weak-willed barrister who finds himself embroiled with a quartet of ill-matched jewel thieves – two American con artists played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline, Michael Palin’s animal-loving hitman and London gangster Tom Georgeson – when Georgeson is arrested. Only he and Palin know the whereabouts of the diamonds, prompting plenty of farce and in-fighting as well as some embarrassing nudity and the unfortunate demise of some innocent pooches…

Nominated for three Academy Awards and winning one for Kline’s outstanding supporting turn as the psychopathic Otto,...

Former model for Burberry and Giorgio Armani and star of last year’s high-energy remake of Nicolas Winding Refn’s 1996 Danish crime thriller Pusher, Agyness Deyn joined director Bryn Higgins’ adaptation of the novel Electricity. A recent report in The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Deyn signed on to play the film’s lead role, a young woman battling epilepsy who leaves her small British hometown in search of her missing brother. Deyn joined a cast that includes Lenora Crichlow, Christian Cooke, Paul Anderson, Tom Georgeson and Alice Lowe. Screenwriter Joe Fisher adapted Ray Robinson’s novel for the movie.

Agyness Deyn will star in Bryn Higgins's Electricity.

Shooting has begun on the drama, which will adapt Ray Robinson's novel of the same name, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The former model will star as a young epileptic who is plagued by hallucinations after leaving her seaside home to search for her missing brother.

Lenora Crichlow (Being Human), Christian Cooke (Cemetery Junction), Paul Anderson (The Sweeney), Tom Georgeson (Notes on a Scandal) and Alice Lowe (Sightseers) will also appear in the movie.

Deyn has previously featured in Pusher and Clash of the Titans.

Electricity will shoot in London and the North-East of England for the next six weeks.

Principal photography has started on Electricity, starring Agyness Deyn [pictured], Lenora Crichlow, Christian Cooke, Paul Anderson, Tom Georgeson and Alice Lowe.

Bryn Higgins directs from Joe Fisher’s script adapted from Ray Robinson’s award-winning novel.

Clare Duggan produces for Stone City Films. Alison Morgan executive produces. Soda Pictures has UK rights.

The film is shooting for 6 weeks in the Northeast and London.

The story is about brash young woman (Deyn) who leaves her seaside hometown to search for her long lost brother, and experiences hallucinations brought on by her epilepsy.

Deyn said: “I love Lily’s journey, she is a survivor. Her strength and her ability to live in the present really drew me to her. She is a delight to discover and she’s teaching me a lot.”

The BFI Film Fund has backed the project, alongside the Wellcome Trust.

The filmmaking team previously worked together on Unconditional.

MGM buyout means this long-awaited stage production may finally go ahead, with Cleese on the lookout for a director

A musical based on A Fish Called Wanda is a step (fin? fathom?) closer to realisation after John Cleese told comedy website Chortle that he has struck a deal with MGM, the studio that holds the rights to the film.

The long-mooted stage production hit trouble when the studio filed for bankruptcy protection last year. "MGM was in a terrible mess," said Cleese, who starred in the 1988 crime-comedy alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, Tom Georgeson and Cleese's fellow former Monty Python performer Michael Palin. "Now a couple of people have bought it who are apparently, according to my spies, extremely decent and reasonable human beings. As a result of that, a deal has been done."

The film version of A Fish Called Wanda tells the story of a transatlantic gang...

Lucinda Wright talks exclusively to Clothes on Film about her contribution to ITV’s adaptation of The Suspicions of Mr Whicher starring Paddy Considine. The date: 1860. Place: South West England. Costumes: an elegant recreation of the revolutionary Victorian age.

Although probably known for costume designing the 2005 reboot of Doctor Who, Wright has worked in television since the late 1990s. She has also covered period costume before, principally with Henry VIII (2003) and Georgian era Fanny Hill (2007). The Suspicions of Mr Whicher is based on Kate Summerscale’s prize winning book about real life Scotland Yard detective Jack Whicher’s (Considine) investigation of an infant murder and his controversial conclusion that lead to national outcry. It is sober yet gripping drama.
