Now, Arcadian will be added to the handful of Nicolas Cage films already available on the streaming service.

Benjamin Brewer directed Arcadian, which isn't the filmmaker's first collaboration with Cage. He previously worked with the famed actor on the 2016 film The Trust, which also starred Elijah Wood. Long-time collaborator Michael Nilon also wrote Arcadian. The film centers on Paul (Cage), a father who must protect his twin teenage sons, Joseph (Jaeden Martell) and Thomas (Maxwell Jenkins), from ferocious and mysterious creatures. Featuring themes of fatherhood and survival,...

Never underestimate the power of independent art. Kahlil Joseph’s experimental movie Blknws: Terms & Conditions will definitely be making its world premiere here at Sundance. The festival just released a statement. The movie was pulled by the pic’s financially embattled financier Participant after accusing the filmmaker that he was submitting a secret cut of the film to Sundance and Berlin.

How did the pic get back on the sked?...

Days after the film was pulled from Sundance over a dispute between Participant Media and director Kahlil Joseph, James Shani’s Rich Spirit banner has acquired “Blknws: Terms & Conditions,” according to an insider with knowledge of the project.

The sale comes after Participant pulled the indie film from screenings scheduled for Sundance over an alleged “secret” cut made by Joseph without the company’s knowledge. Participant, the studio behind films like “Spotlight” and “Green Book,” was the primary producer of “Blknws: Terms & Conditions” and owned the copyright to the film after formally shuttering last April.

Prior to Participant, A24 previously backed the film as a co-financier and distributor, but bailed last summer after Joseph failed to deliver a final cut.

Shani is best known as one of the executive producers on the Oscar-nominated “The Apprentice” through his Rich Spirit banner, which led the group that bought out Kinematics,...

After financier Participant (“Spotlight”) pulled multimedia artist Kahlil Joseph‘s film “Blknws: Terms and Conditions” from the Sundance Film Festival on the eve of its world premiere, a savior in the form of James Shani acquired the film from Participant. It will now screen Monday at 9am Mt in the festival’s Next program. He and partner Bn Media will seek a co-distributor.

“We were deeply disappointed that they were pulling ‘Blknws: Terms and Conditions,'” Sundance Director Eugene Hernandez told IndieWire. “It is a radiant and immersive cinematic experience.”

Shani, a 36-year-old former talent manager, launched indie production and distribution company Rich Spirit Studios in 2024. That company co-distributed “The Apprentice” with Briarcliff Entertainment, which earned two Oscar nominations last week. The film has so far grossed $9 million worldwide.

Legal representatives for Participant pulled the film from Sundance January 22, the day before the festival began, alleging that the film was...

After “Blknws: Terms & Conditions” was pulled from this year’s Sundance Film Festival lineup, at the behest of its financiers at Participant Media, the independent movie has a new backer — and will light up snowy Park City with its world premiere after all.

James Shani’s Rich Spirit and Bn Media have acquired “Blknws,” buying Participant Media out of all rights in the process, with hopes of selling the film to a new distributor. Shani’s company is best known for rescuing “The Apprentice,” the controversial Donald Trump biopic, from Kinematics, which is backed by the billionaire former owner of the Washington Commanders, Dan Snyder.

Participant, the now-defunct social impact studio, did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Detective James Cormack continues to juggle the case of Zoe’s disappearance with his father’s plea to help him find his brother Richie. In the third episode, Sam is puzzled to see the word ‘Sapphire’ scribbled atop one of the flyers for Mont Vista Estate. This flyer had been recovered from Zoe’s backpack. It makes Sam think of Sapphire Beach, where they had gone on holiday in their childhood. Sam feels the need to recreate Zoe’s appearance as an adult with the help of a sketch artist and then sends it to the Sapphire Beach Police to check if they have any luck in finding her. Brad, on the other hand, declines being involved in Zoe’s disappearance. He claims that he had seen Zoe and Sean at a liquor store before Zoe disappeared.

Kahlil Joseph’s film “Blknws: Terms and Conditions” was pulled from the Sundance Film Festival just days before it was meant to make its world premiere. The film’s financier and copyright holder, Participant, alleged the cut being screened was different from the final cut Joseph initially delivered.

Participant, the now-defunct social-impact studio behind films like “Spotlight,” sent a legal letter to the filmmaker accusing him of screening a “secret” cut of the project to critics.

Participant in the letter, first obtained by Variety, said it was “shocked” about the alternate cut; the studio pulled the film from the festival ahead of its screening on Friday. Participant also says Joseph presented the new cut to the Berlin International Film Festival, where it was set to screen next month, “all behind Participant’s back.” Deadline reported that officials for Berlin were waiting to consult Joseph before seeing whether screenings of the film could continue.

Exclusive: After defunct socially conscious Participant pulled Kahlil Joseph’s experimental movie Blknws: Terms & Conditions from the Sundance Film Festival, the filmmaker has weighed in over the “unexpectedly harsh letter” he received from the pic financier’s lawyers.

Blknws was originally set to world premiere in the Next section of the festival.

In a note to Deadline, the director, whose credits include Beyonce’s Lemonade, says “We’re still hopeful that the originally submitted film from Participant, which Sundance already has in their possession, can still screen on Friday. You can imagine our surprise and confusion upon receiving such an unexpectedly harsh letter. It has been a challenging adjustment since the transition at Participant last year, as we’ve been navigating these matters without the incredible team of filmmakers we previously worked closely with. I love this film and know it will excite audiences when they finally get to see it.

Participant has pulled the indie film “Blknws: Terms & Conditions” from screenings scheduled for the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals over an alleged “secret” cut made by director Kahlil Joseph without the company’s knowledge, a legal complaint from Participant reveals.

In the letter, filed on Tuesday, Participant said it was “shocked” to learn on Jan. 17 that Joseph — a filmmaker who contributed to Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” film — had worked on a different version of “Blknws” that was due to be screened at CAA without telling the company.

“Given that Mr. Joseph delivered the film to Participant in November 2024, and Participant submitted that version to Sundance in reliance that it was the final cut of the film, it is completely unacceptable that Mr. Joseph continued to purport to make changes to the film,” the letter says.

Participant alleges that Joseph submitted the new cut to both Sundance and Berlin, which will...

A highly anticipated film has been withdrawn from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival just days before its scheduled premiere, following a dispute between the director and the film’s financier.

“Blknws: Terms & Conditions,” directed by Kahlil Joseph, was abruptly removed from the festival’s lineup after Participant Media discovered the director had created and shown an alternative version of the film without authorization.

The conflict erupted after Participant learned that Joseph screened a different cut of the film at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) on January 17th. The disputed version reportedly differs from the approved cut by approximately one minute, primarily involving legal clearance issues.

“We are deeply disappointed by the sudden withdrawal,” a Sundance representative said, describing the film as “a radiant and immersive cinematic experience” that will not be shown at this year’s festival.

The controversy highlights complex tensions in the film’s production. Participant, which invested millions of dollars over several years,...

The Berlin Film Festival is waiting to consult Blknws: Terms & Conditions filmmaker Kahlil Joseph and the project’s financier, Participant, before deciding whether a planned screening of the pic can take place during this year’s Berlinale.

The festival launch of Blknws: Terms & Conditions, the first feature from video artist Joseph, was complicated this morning after it was announced that Participant had pulled the project from a debut slot at Sundance.

Reports state that Participant pulled the pic after learning Joseph made a second cut of the film, which was submitted to film festivals, including Berlin. We understand the festival is waiting to speak with Joseph and Participant before making a final decision. Blknws: Terms & Conditions had been set to screen in Berlin’s Perspectives sidebar for fiction feature debuts. We’ve reached out to reps for Participant and Joseph for their official responses. We’ll update the report when we hear back.

The movie Blknws: Terms & Conditions from Beyoncé Lemonade filmmaker Kahlil Joseph has been pulled from the Sundance Film Festival by its financier Participant, Deadline has confirmed.

The pic was making its world premiere in the Next section at the Park City, Ut fest.

“We are deeply disappointed to have been informed this on Tuesday evening, January 21, by Participant Media that they have pulled Blknws: Terms & Conditions from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. We were looking forward to premiering the film for our audiences and will be in touch with all customers who purchased tickets,” read a statement from a Sundance rep.

According to Variety which first had the story, the brouhaha has to do with the pic’s financier Participant Media legally accusing the filmmaker of a second cut of the movie which is being submitted to film festivals, including Berlin. We’ve reached out to reps for Participant and Joseph for their official responses.

An indie film set to premiere at this week’s Sundance Film Festival has been pulled from the lineup by its financier, Variety has learned exclusively. The backer says the movie’s director made a secret new cut of the film, one used to enter global film festivals and court critics without its owner’s knowledge.

“Blknws: Terms & Conditions,” an official selection in Sundance’s Next section, is directed by Kahlil Joseph (a contributor to Beyonce’s visual album “Lemonade”). Participant, the now-defunct social impact studio, says it poured years and millions into the mixed-media project only to be sidelined by a new version of the feature.

In a legal communication from an attorney, obtained and verified by Variety, Participant said it was “shocked” to allegedly learn last Friday that Joseph was screening a new cut of the film to critics at talent agency CAA. One made, the legal email said,...

Fred Hechinger played the awfully sweet Quinn Mossbacher (maybe the only non-awful character) in the first season of The White Lotus, and his character arc is charming and hopeful. He takes a perpendicular path in the new Ridley Scott film Gladiator II, where he plays Emperor Caracalla, brother of Joseph Quinn's Emperor Greta, and they make a pair of nasty antagonists that will surely remain memorable. Perhaps the most memorable thing from the film, though, will be the gargantuan set piece that floods the Colosseum to create an epic water fight. In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Hechinger shared how this was based on a wild reality:

I mean, in Roman times, they really did these water fights, you know? And so that's inspired by the actual history of the matter, which is, they would bring water into the Colosseum and fight in that setup. It's theater, right? It's a form of intense theater.

Appearing live via video at the Disney Apac Content Showcase in Singapore, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, sporting a Fantastic Four hat, said hes excited about the next movie in the franchise.

Finally, [were] bringing Marvels First Family to the MCU, Feige said of the new movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps. They wrap next week, the movie comes out next summer, and then all those characters go right into the next Avengers movies, so Im very excited for the future of The Fantastic Four, Feige added.

Finally, [were] bringing Marvels First Family to the MCU.

The Fantastic Four revival has been talked about since 2017 and First Steps has been in production for the majority of 2024. The film will star Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bacrach, and Julia Garner and is set for a July 25, 2025, release.

A spinoff of the Biblical drama The Chosen just got a big update. The Chosen is a wildly popular historical drama that derives its plot from the life of Jesus Christ and the people who surrounded him. It is set in first-century Israel where Roman oppression is on the rise, and is considered to be a nuanced look at Jesus' life. The seasons of the series have been rolled out over years, with season 1 first being released in 2019 and The Chosen season 4 coming out earlier this year.

In an interview with The Direct, The Chosen director Dallas Jenkins explains what is next for The Chosen universe. According to Jenkins, there is a limited series in active development called Joseph. At this time, the director said that Joseph was still in the script development phase, but would likely come out before The Chosen season 7. He also explained plans for The Book of Moses,...

In Dallas Jenkins’ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a group of kids wreak daily havoc on Emmanuel, a small town somewhere in America. The Herdmans, according to the narrator (Lauren Graham) of this uneven tale, are “the worst kids in the history of the world” — a title earned by Ralph (Mason D. Nelligan), Leroy (Ewan Wood), Claude (Matthew Lamb), Ollie (Essek Moore), Gladys (Kynlee Heiman) and Imogen (Beatrice Schneider) through a host of shenanigans ranging from personally offensive to downright harmful.

A nifty montage at the beginning of the holiday feature shows the Herdmans bullying kids and adults with impunity; taking the Lord’s name in vain; smoking cigars; stealing from local businesses and even setting fire to a dilapidated shed. Because of their repugnant behavior, residents of the community hardly believed the Herdmans were “real,” says the narrator. “No one knew why they were that way.” And it appears that few people — including,...

He became the first member of the jury. This means he returns on the finale night to vote for the winner.

Until then, Quinn gets to live at the Big Brother jury house. It’s a nice mansion near the Big Brother house, where Quinn can relax and collect his thoughts.

Quinn did some exit interviews after his eviction where he reflected on his Big Brother play and answered pre-submitted questions.

The interviews couldn’t be done live because Quinn is supposed to remain in the dark about any gameplay he wasn’t involved in.

Several of Quinn’s interviews are shared below where he gives animated responses to his interviewers.

Quinn Martin: ‘Wow, I suck at Big Brother’

Quinn was asked about his choices to nominate close allies during his weeks as Head of Household. He put Cedric Hodges on...

In the Part Two Battle Tendency arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Joseph Joestar definitely stole the show. The second main Joestar's comedic and fun-loving personality, sheer strength, endless drive to fight evil, and expert use of the Hamon technique make him a hero to admire. Even without a Stand at this time, he still impressed and amazed fans with his physical might and memorable personality.

u/Nitsvetov on Reddit has cosplayed the JoJo's hero so accurately, it is as if the character has stepped right out of the anime. They are wearing a pair of blue jeans and tall black leather boots, paired with a short black crop top to show off the hero's ripped abdominal muscles developed through hours of grueling training. They are also wearing a pair of black fingerless gloves with silver and brown details and a green and yellow striped scarf to tie the look together effortlessly.

Quinn Martin is a “Big Brother” superfan, but he didn’t play the game as strategically as you might expect from someone well versed. The nurse recruiter burned bridges with his multiple alliances left and right, proudly lied to everyone, and nominated two of his allies and watched them both go home after vote-flips. But he still wouldn’t change a thing after becoming the first juror of “Big Brother 26” on Thursday.

“I had zero interest in being an honest player. My thought was, how boring to go into this game that is so fun to watch when people are lying, that is so fun to celebrate when blindsides are being pulled off and you’re witnessing manipulation take stage,” Quinn tells Gold Derby (watch above). “I don’t think I would change anything and that’s probably dumb to say. But I believe in the phrase ‘burn bright, die young.

Week 8 in the “Big Brother” house ended Thursday night, with Quinn Martin being sent to the jury house just seven days after his second disastrous Head of Household. Reigning Hoh Chelsie Baham wasn’t really targeting Quinn, but knows his eviction could be best for her game in the long run. Quinn was ousted in a 4-2 eviction vote over Kimo Apaka. The 25-year-old nurse recruiter from Omaha, Nebraska became the eighth houseguest evicted from Season 26 and the first member of the jury.

Quinn bolted out of the house pretty quickly after his eviction. “What’s the point of saying, ‘Thanks guys, I appreciate you voting me out. Let’s hug and hold hands,'” he told guest host Jerry O’Connell, who was subbing in for a Covid-19 stricken Julie Chen Moonves. Last week Quinn’s friend Joseph Rodriguez was evicted while Quinn was Hoh. This week, Quinn was evicted...

Heading into the 26th episode of “Big Brother 26,” new Head of Household Chelsie Baham had just nominated Kimo Apaka (her pawn) and Angela Murray (her target) for eviction. But with the Power of Veto competition still on the line, it was anyone’s guess as to who’d actually be eliminated on Thursday night. Remember, the Veto medallion has been used every single week so far — a new record. Will that pattern continue?

Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have been busy in the Marvel Cinematic Universe lately, directing episodes of Moon Knight, Loki season 2, and the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again, but before they entered the Marvel universe, they were known for making genre films like Resolution, Spring, The Endless, Synchronic, and Something in the Dirt. They’re staying in touch with their roots by serving as executive producers on the upcoming sci-fi thriller Things Will Be Different, which stars Riley Dandy of Christmas Bloody Christmas and Adam David Thompson of A Walk Among the Tombstones – and since that film is set to receive a theatrical and digital release on October 4th, a trailer has now made its way online. You can watch it in the embed above.

Some King of the Hill fans refuse to believe that Dale Gribble couldn’t see how badly John Redcorn was playing him for a fool, but others aren’t so convinced — Dale knew that “Licensed New Age Healer” was screwing around with his mower.

The suspicious paternity of young Joseph Gribble is one of the oldest jokes in Mike Judge’s masterpiece about a simple Texas town and its simple Texan inhabitants — some more simple than others. Despite Dale being suspicious about everything from the moon landing to a possible connection between the U.S. Postal Service and the Red Cross to the existence of Hawaii, 13 seasons and 259 total episodes of King of the Hill came and went without Rusty Shackleford ever getting wise to the fact that Mrs. Shackleford was shagging her masseuse, and that the only “headache” she needed healing was Dale himself.

Writer/Director/Editor Michael Felker’s feature directorial debut, Things Will Be Different, sees a pair of siblings on the lam get caught up in a twisty sci-fi puzzle box thriller. Today brings the first trailer and a poster the highlights the genre-bending mysteries ahead.

Magnet Releasing has set a theatrical day-and-date release for Things Will Be Different on October 4, 2024.

The film follows “estranged siblings who, after a robbery, escape to a rural safe house hidden in time and discover they’re not the only occupants.”

“I made Things Will Be Different for people who love thrillers, noir, and science fiction they can think about. It’s a giant mystery box of a movie with a strong familial core that’s inspired by my own family. Adam David Thompson and Riley Dandy are just incredible as Joe and Sid, and I can’t believe they aren’t actually brother and sister.
