When Daniel Craig Called This Angelina Jolie- Led Movie The Worst Mistake Of His Life (Picture Credit: IMDb)

Daniel Craig and Angelina Jolie are known for their impressive filmography. Daniel brought in a different kind of swagger in his version of James Bond and is considered one of the best, while Jolie is also one of those actresses who mastered the action space. These two powerhouse talents shared the screen for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. However, Daniel once repented working in that movie. Keep scrolling for that.

Daniel got a whole new level of fandom after appearing as James Bond. He is also being appreciated and loved by many for his Knives Out franchise. Jolie appeared in this 2001 movie and its sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life. The franchise was rebooted in 2018, with Alicia Vikander in the titular role. For the unversed, Craig appeared as Alex West,...

Following the exciting announcement that Tony Todd will be a guest of honor at this year's Salem Horror Fest, the full lineup for the anticipated festival has now been revealed, including the new documentary Satan Wants You and retrospective screenings of Fright Night: Part II, The Fog (1980), The Blood on Satan's Claw, and more!

Exclusively announced on Fangoria, you can check out the full lineup of films and events for this year's Salem Horror Fest on their official website, and we also have the official press release with additional details:

Press Release: Salem Ma - March 13, 2023 - Named by MovieMaker Magazine as one of the “best genre festivals in the world,” Salem Horror Fest has announced the full lineup for their sixth annual presentation, which kicks off on Thursday, April 20, and runs through Sunday, April 30.

The official program begins with a featured showcase of Satan Wants You, a new documentary...

With the upcoming release of Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," there's no better time to discuss Daniel Craig's acting career. He was so magnetic in "Knives Out" that fans all but demanded a sequel -- leading Netflix to greenlight two Knives Out films for 400 million. Even before he (arguably) became the 21st century's preeminent James Bond, Craig had several impressive performances. Despite taking on the daunting role of 007, he escaped typecasting by continuously working with great material, directors, and castmates.

Craig's work -- especially post-"Casino Royale" -- generally falls into two categories: stoic and livewire. Over the years, he's played complicated heroes, despicable villains, and the occasional comic relief role. He's also been kicking around longer than you may think. Do you remember him as an evil German solider in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" or as Master Kane alongside a young Kate Winslet...

Screen Australia has unveiled 13 titles that will share in $3.7 million of production funding, with six documentaries to be supported through the Producer Program and seven projects via the Commissioned Program.

They include a feature documentary from Stranger Than Fiction that follows an Indigenous figure skater from Western Sydney, Harley Windsor, on his quest to compete in the Winter Olympics; a series going inside the Sydney Opera House for the ABC; and a feature documentary about a grandmother with dementia who became an internet sensation in Everybody’s Oma.

Screen Australia head of documentary Alex West said the documentaries were a testament to the talented filmmakers creating local stories with great impact.

“These projects will explore contemporary social issues including how First Nations artist Richard Bell’s work uses art to effect change in War & Order, as well as the complexities of teen parenting in Kids Raising Kids,” he said.

“It’s great to support so many feature documentaries covering a range of exciting topics, including shining a light on a number of Australian icons, and I’m confident they will captivate audiences,” he said.

The Commissioned Program projects are:

Nurses: A 10-part series from ITV Studios Australia for the Seven Network about the nurses in Nsw.

Screen Australia has appointed Alex West as head of documentary, following the departure of Bernadine Lim earlier this year.

West brings over 25 years of screen experience to the role, having worked as a documentary producer, filmmaker, writer, and director, as well as in screen agency investment program management.
