As befitting its status as one of the world’s biggest companies, every now and then Amazon likes to take a big swing with its Prime Video originals. With its list of new releases for April 2023, the streamer is taking one of its biggest swings yet.

Though it’s not quite as vast or expensive as fellow Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Citadel (premiering April 28) is a massive, massive undertaking. Starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, this spy series is described as “an expansive and groundbreaking global event comprising a mothership series and several local language satellite series.” This means that the Russo Brothers-produced project will eventually feature several spinoffs in multiple countries and languages around the world. Neat-o!

The only other major TV original of note this month is Dead Ringers, based on the 1988 David Cronenberg film of the same name,...

Prime Video is hoping to launch its own extended franchise universe in April with the premiere of international spy series “Citadel” from the minds of the Russo Brothers. The show stars Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra, and Stanley Tucci, and is intended to be the first block of an interconnected story with different spinoffs in countries and regions around the world. The first version will begin streaming on April 28. In the show, the world is in the grips of Manticore, a criminal organization, and several former spies are recruited to restore order despite having their memories erased.

I couldn't resist this.  I'm not a huge Wayne or even a huge Western fan. But this is packed, packed with extras and looks absolutely fabulous on Bluray. It's also the last film directed by Michael Curtiz. You may have heard of him. He directed Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), Captain Blood (1935), The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), Angels With Dirty Faces (1938) The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), Casablanca (1942), Mildred Pierce (1945), White Christmas (1954), We're No Angels (1955) among others. Duke plays Texas Ranger Jake Cutter in search of Paul Regret (Stuart Whitman) a New Orleans man who killed a judges son in a duel.
