President Down – 8/29

A secret...

After securing a publishing deal with Headup this past March, developers Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks have announced a June 19th release date for their post-apocalyptic pixel art action-adventure title, Vessels of Decay. And seeing as Steam Next Fest is right around the corner, there’s a new demo available for players to get a glimpse of what awaits them in the game.

Vessels of Decay follows the story of Freja and Mud. Civilization has ended, and something else has awoken in its place. From the world’s decay, ancient creatures stir, rise, and roam the land. In this retro-inspired tale, you’ll confront creatures of Scandinavian myth and folklore horrors while exploring the ruins of the civilization they inhabit.

Featuring a dynamic battle system with unique finishers, Vessels of Decay also sports multi-stage boss encounters. The beasts you’ll encounter will not let themselves be put down easily, requiring...

The Bold and the Beautiful knows how to bring the drama, and March 31 – April 4 was no exception. It was a week of explosive showdowns and a twist that has us on edge!

Electra Stood on Business!

We have to hand it to Electra (Laneya Grace). We thought she was all sweet, innocent, and lovely – which she is – but we had no idea she had such an edge! She stood toe to toe with a killer and didn’t bat an eye. In fact, on Tuesday, she made it clear she wasn’t afraid of Luna at all and even shoved her! Will that be a move Electra will eventually regret? Oh, probably. For now, though, we’re just tickled seeing her stand up for her and Will’s (Crew Morrow) romance.

The pixel-based hack ‘n slasher will be coming to Steam, the Epic Games Store, Gog, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch this summer.

It was recently announced that Batman villain Clayface will star in his own solo movie written by famed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan. With a release date of Sept. 2026, there's a lot that can be discussed surrounding this film, and to me, the main two are this: Which version of Clayface are we going to get in the film, and what could the overall story be? The answer to one of those questions could very well influence the other.

Clayface is one of Batman's oldest villains, appearing in the Golden Age of comics, and there have been many versions of the supervillain since his DC Comics debut. With that in mind, let's break down the most prominent versions of the character and discuss what it could be like if they appeared in the upcoming DC Universe movie.

Waxahatchee has shared a rousing new song, “Mud,” an outtake from the sessions for her stellar 2024 album, Tigers Blood. Stream it below.

Though the folksy instrumentation of “Mud” is lively, the lyrics dive into the difficulties of a complex relationship. “So if I call you up tomorrow,” she sings. “Screaming ‘I’m not the one’/ To be privy to your fiction/ Help you get your shit together/ I’m a fool in angel’s clothing.”

Released in March 2024, Tigers Blood was named one of Consequence’s best albums of the year. This past December, Waxahatchee performed a handful of tracks from the LP during her second NPR Tiny Desk concert — including “Right Back to It,” one of the 200 best songs of 2024.

Waxahatchee will kick off more extensive touring behind Tigers Blood later this month, including a spring tour with Wilco and several dates on Willie Nelson...

The Sing 2 cast followed up their hit 2016 film with another big stage show presentation as they kept fighting for respect. The animated sequel boasts a cast of bright and colorful characters, each with strong voice talent backing them up. From returning names to new additions like Eric André, the Sing 2 cast is remarkably strong. Best known for their Despicable Me franchise, Illumination is a profitable and popular animation studio. The first Sing film was a smash at the box office, grossing over $634 million worldwide on a budget of $75 million (via Box Office Mojo).

Jeff Nichols has revealed he is writing his first original work since 2016 sci-fi Midnight Special that will take him back to his native territory of Arkansas, backdrop to early features Shotgun Stories and Mud.

The project is in addition to his adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novels ‘The Passenger’ and its companion ‘Stella Maris’ about siblings living with the knowledge that their father helped develop the atom bomb.

“I am adapting the last two Cormac McCarthy novels but then I am also writing my first original script since Midnight Special, my fourth film,” said Nichols.

Fifth film Loving, about interracial couple Mildred and Richard Loving’s 1960s battle to have their marriage recognized in Virginia, was inspired by Nancy Buirski’s 2011 documentary The Loving Story, while Chicago-based crime drama The Bikeriders was based on Danny Lyon’s book of the same name.

“I’ve been making period pieces and films...

Writer and director Jeff Nichols (Mud) is back in the saddle, so to speak, with his love letter about a bygone era in The Bikeriders. Inspired by the black-and-white images of photographer Danny Lyon's book, Nichols' film stars Academy Award nominee Austin Butler (Elvis), Tom Hardy (Venom), and Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) in a character-driven look back at the turmoil of the U.S. in the '60s and '70s. At the heart of his story, the filmmaker tells us, is "this idea of a love triangle," but "it wouldn't be a love triangle in the traditional sense."...

Ever since his breakthrough feature Shotgun Stories, Jeff Nichols has been a filmmaker interested in authentic depictions of the human condition. Whether it's the brutal coming-of-age story of Mud, the intimate historical romance of Loving, the subversive superhero mythology of Midnight Special, or the disaster themes of Take Shelter, Nichols is able to take extraordinary premises and ground them in legitimate emotional stakes. Nichols latest feature, The Bikeriders, is a rip-roaring throwback to classic fight the system films like Easy Rider and Rebel Without a Cause, focusing on a defiant motorcycle group in the 1960s. Although it's a film that shows the extent of Nichols imagination, The Bikeriders was loosely inspired by real accounts of the 1960s.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Jennifer Lopez will be touring this summer after all. And while that’s certainly a crime against Pride Month if not humanity itself, it at least frees up some extra time–and money–to watch some movies. And while 2024 looks to be a rather tepid year for blockbusters, there are still plenty of Don’t-Miss Indies out there ready to crawl into your eyes and ears.

Infinite Craft is a browser game that allows players to achieve an infinite number of results by combining four basic elements. Sometimes, the simplest things, like mud, can be the most difficult to uncover. Starting with just Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, players will have to figure out a way to continue combining elements and reaching their desired goal.

Since Infinite Craft allows you to utilize any word you have ever crafted, it can be easy to get some pretty weird results once you've crafted a few things. However, suppose your goal is to get something very specific and simple. In that case, you'll have to get creative with your process and plan each combination accordingly since the results can be extremely unpredictable.

In Infinite Craft, players can combine different elements to create Peter Griffin, the main character of Seth MacFarlane’s comedy sitcom Family Guy. Neal Agarwal’s browser game is an endless crafting simulator, challenging players to combine basic elements such as Water and Fire to create a practically infinite library of new, more complex elements. Family Guy is just one of the many pop culture franchises featured in-game.

Unlike other fictional characters, such as Harry Potter in Infinite Craft, crafting Family Guy’s leading man is actually fairly simple. To get Peter Griffin, all players have to do is combine “Baconator” and “Quagmire.” Anyone who has made other pop culture icons in Infinite Craft will likely already have many of the elements required, making this a fairly easy addition to any player’s library.

True Detective played a huge role in Matthew McConaughey's career transformation, legitimizing his shift towards more dramatic roles. McConaughey's biggest commercial success came after True Detective, particularly with his leading role in Interstellar. Despite some setbacks and flops, McConaughey has interesting projects lined up, including a new crime thriller film and a videogame appearance.

Although Matthew McConaughey is now regarded as one of Hollywood's biggest and most bankable stars, he owes much of this reputation to his celebrated role in True Detective season 1. His performance as Rust Cohle, a street-wise and world-weary detective with a penchant for philosophy, won acclaim from critics, with the character securing cult status among fans. It comes as little surprise, therefore, to learn that McConaughey's acting career has been enhanced in the years after the show – despite some notable blips along the way.

For much of his early career, McConaughey was best known as...

Following its delayed release, the promotional campaign for the Jeff Nichols’ film The Bikeriders now begins anew.

One of the films very much on our summer 2024 radar is Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders.

It’s a promising film too for lots of reasons: it’s a new film from the director of the excellent Mud and the equally excellent Take Shelter; there’s a very exciting and talented ensemble cast, and who doesn’t enjoy watching famous guys atop motorbikes brood moodily in vintage leather jackets?

The film’s impressive ensemble is made up of Tom Hardy, Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Michael Shannon. Of course, the movie was originally set to release on December 1st in the US until Disney pulled the plug on its distribution deal, seemingly because it wasn’t happy with the performance of another non-franchise drama in the form of Gareth Edwards’ The Creator.

That left...

Starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy, The Bikeriders lost its distributor just as it was set for release – and now it has a new one.

Uh-oh. News is not looking on the bright side for the new film from the brilliant Jeff Nichols. The man behind superb cinema such as Take Shelter and Mud has premiered his latest movie, The Bikeriders, over the last few months.

It stars Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, and it’s the tale of a 1960s motorcycle club, or more to the point, its members. Reviews had been really good for the film, and it played in the UK at the London Film Festival last month too. There had been hopes for an awards campaign.

That may still happen, but it also looks as if the film no longer has a distributor. It had been set, in the US, for December 1st, although...

Chicago – That’s a wrap! The 59th Chicago International Film Festival (Ciff) Closing Night is October 22nd, 2023, with “The Bikeriders,” which is set in Chicago and directed by Jeff Nichols, who will make an appearance on behalf of the film. Click Closing for info and tickets.

“The Bikeriders” is an immersive experience into the look, feel, and sounds of the subculture of ’60s motorcycle riders. Kathy (Jodie Comer), a strong-willed member of the Vandals who’s married to a wild, reckless bikerider named Benny (Austin Butler of “Elvis”), recounts the Vandals’ evolution over the course of a decade, beginning as a local club of outsiders united by good times, rumbling bikes, and respect for their strong, steady leader Johnny (Tom Hardy).

Jeff Nichols brings pure Americana to the Telluride Film Festival with his luscious period drama “The Bikeriders,” which feels like the distant older cousin of “The Outsiders.” It stands as his single best directorial outing, and in tow are a trio of invigorating performances from Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy, all putting their stamp on an awards season that will be undoubtedly competitive.

Based on the 1968 photo and interview book by Danny Lyon, “The Bikeriders” tells a fictional story inspired by a Midwestern motorcycle club, seen through its members’ lives over a decade.

Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Oscars predictions in all categories.

F. Scott Fitzgerald may have opined that "there are no second acts in American lives," but the comeback story remains beloved in popular culture, and people relate to them greatly, both on-screen and off. The late Betty White is a prime example-- the adored actor was 88 when she rediscovered massive success, hosting Saturday Night Live and starring in the series Hot in Cleveland.

For many actors, success comes relatively early in their careers, but sometimes situations arise in which they either burn out or fade away. These are 10 celebrities who've made late comebacks that boosted their careers further than they'd ever been before. These performers have all experienced great success and acclaim, which they're still enjoying to this day, after long periods without work or popularity. They are only a few notable comebacks from some of Hollywood's most recognizable talent.

Exclusive: Tye Sheridan is launching his new production company, Dogwood Pictures with its debut film, Black Flies, is set to play in competition at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, the pic reunites Sheridan with Sean Penn after over a decade since Malick’s The Tree of Life. Sheridan first became involved with the film in 2018 and continued on throughout the film’s execution and release.

Hailing from small-town East Texas, Sheridan is launching Dogwood Pictures which aims to tell stories that shine a light on hidden pockets of American culture.

“As a teen, some of the first films I worked on, like Mud and Joe, had a profound effect on me because they were universal stories, yet they conveyed the sheer magic and richness of American subculture. Those are the kinds of stories we want to bring to life through Dogwood Pictures,” said Sheridan.

In his corner,...

No matter how talented his castmates are, Michael Shannon easily stands out from the crowd onscreen. The actor's 6'3" frame easily makes him look imposing, and his stoic facial expressions are an unmissable signature that permeates every role he plays. However, behind that tough-looking countenance lies an often underrated talent and an impressive range.

Whereas many actors shine brightly in over-the-top parts, Shannon's true strength lies in subtlety. Over the course of his career, he has played everything from hardened criminals to iconic rock stars, but all of his characters have one thing in common: a compelling duality that plays out in small moments. By fully committing to roles, Shannon captures unconscious behaviors that make his portrayals feel real. He makes it possible to see how many characters would like others to see them and how they truly see themselves.

Whether he is the leading man or merely a side character,...

Spooky, sweet and wholly unique, “Coraline” is a stop-motion animated gem that marked the beginning of the road for animation studio Laika.

Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher and Keith David lead the voice cast. This one’s a treat for kids and adults alike,...

Matthew McConaughey is revealing that he is, in fact, the mastermind behind the masterful “McConaissance” branding.

The Oscar winner detailed how he transitioned from playing the leading man in rom-coms like “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “The Wedding Planner,” and “Failure to Launch” and taking on more serious roles in the 2010s, such as “The Lincoln Lawyer,” “True Detective,” and “Dallas Buyers Club.”

“Hollywood was not offering me [those roles] before,” McConaughey admitted during Chelsea Handler’s iHeart “Dear Chelsea” podcast.

Comedian Handler quipped that McConaughey then became part of the “McConaissance,” to which McConaughey said, “Oh jeez, it was some self-marketing.” The “Mud” actor admitted that while promoting the 2012 film, a journalist on the red carpet said he was “on a roll” and his career needed a catchphrase.

McConaughey said he fed the journalist a white lie, saying at the time, “Yeah, I was talking to this guy...

Breaking: WME just signed Matthew McConaughey, the Oscar-winning actor.

McConaughey had been at CAA, and his move follows the exit of his longtime agent Jim Toth, who left for a big job at Jeffrey Katzenberg’s Quibi in March. McConaughey won his Oscar for 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club, and his credits include Dazed and Confused, Magic Mike, Lincoln Lawyer, Mud, Killer Joe and the groundbreaking HBO limited series True Detective.

McConaughey next will be seen starring in the Guy Ritchie-directed The Gentlemen (fka Toff Guys), which STX releases in January.

He has gone the indie route most recently, to mixed results, including the Harmony Korine-directed Beach Bum and Serenity. Recent screen turns also have included White Boy Rick and The Dark Tower.

Given the many outrageous scenes in “The Square,” Ruben Östlund’s irreverent art world satire, Elizabeth Moss’ character owning a pet chimpanzee hardly even registered as out of the ordinary. For Claes Bang, however, it was a scene he won’t be forgetting anytime soon. “Shooting with that monkey was terrible. That’s a wild animal. In a flat. In Berlin. On a rainy day in October,” the actor told IndieWire during an interview for our Spotlight Awards series. Although there were handlers on set waiting in every corner of the room in case anything went wrong, that hardly served to reassure the actor. “I was terrified of that monkey. I hated that monkey.”

Bang plays a museum director named Christian, whose powerful position in the Stockholm art world has made him entitled and careless with women. “He’s challenged, which makes him do the odd thing here or there,...

Exclusive: “You’re popping our cherry,” Colin Firth laughed as I sat down to lunch with him and his production partner Ged Doherty last week at the Four Seasons.

He was referring to the fact that he and Doherty had not done any interviews to date about Raindog Films, the production company they founded in 2011. It has been five years since the Oscar-winning actor of The King’s Speech, and so many other films, teamed with Doherty, the former music company executive who was most recently Chairman and CEO of Sony Music UK and before that had posts at BMG, Arista and Columbia Records. Initially the thought was that their company would focus on several areas including film, music, TV and comedy, but instead they decided that for two novices in this area they needed a focus and that is when the word “films” was added to the Raindog moniker.

Tim Wonnacott and his professional partner Natalie Lowe are the third couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

The Bargain Hunt expert and Lowe found themselves in the dance-off alongside Mark Wright and Karen Hauer.

The bottom two acts were decided through a combination of viewer votes and judges' scores.

Wonnacott and Lowe performed their paso doble to Tina Turner's 'Simply the Best', while Wright and Hauer danced a quickstep to 'Tiger Feet' by Mud.

Wright's quickstep originally earned him a score of 29 during yesterday's (October 18) show, while Wonnacott's performance got him a 19.

Judges Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell both took the decision to save Wright and Hauer, with Bruno Tonioli sealing their fate.
