Ben Whishaw played James Bond’s technology and weapons expert Q in three 007 movies with Daniel Craig, joining the franchise on a high note in 2012’s acclaimed “Skyfall” and also appearing in 2015’s “Spectre” and 2021’s “No Time to Die.” The latter title marked Craig’s last Bond movie, which has Whishaw predicting that his time as Q is also over.

“I don’t think I’m going to be in the next one,” Whishaw recently told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg about his future in the James Bond film franchise. “I think they’re going to start all over again, and with a new cast, a completely new cast. I think that’s my hunch, but I don’t know. I have no idea.”

“I think it might need a new lease of life and a whole new group of people,” he added. “But if they asked me, I would do it,...

Ben Whishaw starred as Q in three James Bond flicks alongside Daniel Craig, but over the weekend, the British actor said he isn’t expecting to receive a call to star in a fourth.

“I don’t think I’m going to be in the next one,” Whishaw told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg. “I think they’re going to start all over again, and with a new cast, a completely new cast. I think that’s my hunch, but I don’t know. I have no idea.”

Whishaw added that he would star in another Bond flick if asked but said change could be good for the franchise.

“I think it might need a new lease of life and a whole new group of people,” he said. “But if they asked me, I would do it, of course.”

As expected, there’s been much speculation about the future of...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi delivered on expectations, debuting with the second largest opening weekend of all-time and propelling the box office to the third largest weekend ever based on estimates. In an attempt at counter-programming, Fox's Ferdinand got off to a bit of a slow start against the might of Star Wars as well as the continued strong performance of Pixar's Coco as it fell below Mojo's expectations, though the studio is optimistic when it comes to the film's future. With an estimated $220 million, Star Wars: The Last Jedi delivered the second largest opening weekend ever behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which debuted with $247.9 million back in 2015. Last Jedi got off to a strong start on Thursday night with the second largest preview gross ever of $45 million and became only the second film to ever gross over $100 million on opening day resulting in the second largest opening day ever,...

Muhammad Ali wasn’t much of a cook at home — but he certainly passed his love of food down to his daughter Laila.

“I don’t remember by dad ever cooking — just eating!” Laila, 39, tells People, from her kitchen in Los Angeles. “He loved soul food, so he loved the greens, the cornbread stuffing, the baked chicken.”

The Ali’s had a cook prepare all their meals, but Laila fondly thinks back to the days when she and her dad would head out for his favorite meal, a burger.

“I remember when I was young, my dad would pick me...

IFC’s Chuck opens in St. Louis on May 19.

He was the pride of Bayonne, New Jersey, a man who went fifteen rounds in the ring with Muhammad Ali, and the real life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. But before all that, Chuck Wepner (Liev Schreiber) was a liquor salesman and father with a modest prizefighting career whose life changed overnight when, in 1975, he was chosen to take on The Greatest in a highly publicized title match. It’s the beginning of a wild ride through the exhilarating highs and humbling lows of sudden fame—but what happens when your fifteen minutes in the spotlight are up?

Driven by a committed performance from Liev Schreiber, Chuck is a refreshingly human tale of resilience and redemption. Elisabeth Moss and Naomi Watts costar.

Wamg invites you to enter for the chance to win Two (2) seats to the advance screening of Chuck on May 18 at 7Pm in the St.

“Sometimes Life Is Like A Movie. Sometimes It’S Better”

Watch the trailer for the upcoming movie Chuck – we can’t wait for this one! In theaters May 5th.

Directed by Philippe Falardeau, Chuck stars Naomi Watts, Ron Perlman, Elisabeth Moss, Liev Schreiber, Jim Gaffigan, and Morgan Spector.

A subgenre which has had a resurgence in the past few years in the boxing drama. Following Creed, Southpaw, Hands of Stone, and Bleed for This, another will arrive this year with Chuck, once titled The Bleeder when it premiered at Venice International Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival last fall. The latest drama from Philippe Falardeau (Monsieur Lazhar, The Good Lie) stars Liev Schreiber, Elisabeth Moss, and Naomi Watts and follows the life of New Jersey boxer Chuck Wepner who was the inspiration behind Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky character. Ahead of a release this May, IFC Films have now released the first trailer.

We said in our review, “The Bleeder looks a bit familiar. A film of browns and greens; disco music and ‘70s rock tunes; big haircuts and even bigger lapels. Indeed, in a way reminiscent of recent period efforts such as Black Mass and David O. Russell’s last two outings,...

Muhammad Ali Jr., the son of renowned boxing champion Muhammad Ali, claims he was detained once again on Friday in a Washington, D.C. airport after testifying about his previous detainment experience in February.

Ali Jr. told the Sun-Sentinel in a phone interview that he was red-flagged while attempting to board a JetBlue flight headed to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He spoke to members of a congressional subcommittee on border security on Thursday, describing his Feb. 7 incident that took place as he was returning back to Florida from an appearance in Jamaica with his mother.

“I got harassed again,” he claimed to the Sun-Sentinel.

This weekend is set to be bittersweet for music lovers. While Beyoncé and Adele contend for hardware at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, another golden-voiced superstar will also be on many minds. Whitney Houston tragically passed away five years ago on Feb. 11 at age 48.

The importance of the children remaining on the world grew on Colony Season 2 Episode 3 as we watched three people without them disappear into a splatter of goo instantaneously.

While Will and Charlie weren't making their escape from outside the wall (that's confusing), Colony was trying to throw us for a loop by making us think about gray areas again. 

There is nothing more fun than a) having no idea what's going on (as I felt during Colony Season 2 Episode 2) and b) being forced to think of all the available alternatives of any given situation.

Colony truly excels at both. Not only have we been in the dark about the nature of the invaders and their purpose since the story began, as well as...

Chicago Cubs fans cried with happiness – and Cleveland Indian fans from broken hearts – when the team broke a 108-year drought and the curse of a smelly goat to win the World Series Game 7 victory that will go down in baseball history. Amid the celebrations, diehard Cubs fan Bill Murray cried, chugged champagne … and drunkenly interviewed Cubs general manager Theo Epstein in the locker room. The world appeared to stop to honor “The Greatest” when Muhammad Ali died on June 3 at age 74. President Obama, former President Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal and Bryant Gumbel were among those who paid...

Antoine Fuqua and LeBron James are partnering on a multi-part Muhammad Ali documentary for HBO. The untitled project will be directed by Fuqua (“Training Day,” “The Magnificent Seven”) and follow the life and career of Ali, who passed away at the age of 74 earlier this year.

“It’s tough to put into words how much it means to me to be a part of this project honoring the legacy and telling the extremely important story of the great Muhammad Ali,” says James in a statement. “He transcended sports and used his platform to empower people, which paved the way for all athletes and people of every race and gender that came after him, myself included.”

Above: French grande for El Topo (Alejandro Jodorowsky, Mexico, 1970). Artist: “Moebius,” aka Jean Giraud, aka “Gir” (1938-2012).You might expect something wilder from the fecund paired imaginations of Alejandro Jodorowsky and the artist known as Moebius. But this striking yet unusually restrained poster for El Topo (courtesy of Film/Art Gallery who provided a second, that’s-more-like-it Italian poster for the film that also made the top 20) was the most popular poster on Movie Poster of the Day over the last three months by a long stretch of desert.Collecting the posters with the most likes and reblogs yields a particularly attractive and typically diverse collection of art. There are Danish posters for French films, Polish posters for Italian films, Italian posters for Russian films and Russian posters for American films. Plenty of great artists are represented: from the Sternberg Brothers to John Alvin, from Andrzej Onegin-Dabrowski to Georges Kerfyser,...

The Rising

Logline: Hundreds of thousands of people were exposed to the risk of chemical illness when the U.S. government and Bp sprayed millions of gallons of toxic dispersants in the Bp Horizon Disaster ‘clean-up’ operations.

Elevator Pitch:

An acclaimed filmmaker turns his lens to the frontlines of the Bp Horizon disaster and the large scale cover-up of the tragic health effects following the infamous spill in 2010, in an upcoming documentary called “The Rising.” The film exposes the true health effects for tens of thousands of people and the ramifications of unregulated corporate power and government collusion to our nation.

"And most of all, his magic." He continued, "That ability to make the impossible seem real." Saying how everyone handles fame in their own way, Abdul-Jabbar added, "Some people revel in it.

Muhammad Ali made his final journey through his hometown Friday in a funeral procession for The Greatest as thousands of mourners lined the streets where the future heavyweight champion of the world once chased school buses in hiking boots to train for his fights. His cherry-red casket, draped in an Islamic shroud, was loaded into a hearse as a group of pallbearers that included former boxers Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis and actor Will Smith left the funeral home in a double file. Ali's nine children, his wife, two of his ex-wives and other family members joined the

As a way to honor legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, who passed away this past Friday night, Deadline reports that Sony Pictures is rereleasing Michael Mann's 2001 film Ali in "a few hundred theaters nationwide" this weekend. Will Smith gave a towering, titanic, transformative performance as the title character, and the movie tracks his exploits in and out of the ring during the ten year period from 1964 to 1974.

“With the passing of Muhammad Ali, we have received many requests for this film to return to theaters, in celebration of his life,” said Rory Bruer, president of Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures. “The film truly honors everything that made Ali one of the central figures of our time, a man who commanded his sport but whose personal faith and principles made him mean so much more. Muhammad Ali truly was The Greatest, and this tribute is a great way to honor him.

Beloved boxer, philanthropist and American icon Muhammad Ali died June 3 at age 74 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. As an athlete, he won the gold medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics in the light heavyweight division. He then won the world heavyweight championship in 1964, 1974 and 1978. Outside of the ring, he was an inspiration to many for his work as a philanthropist and his vocal opposition to the Vietnam War. He earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005. Below is a list of programs that pay tribute to “The Greatest,” including the Muhammad Ali … Continue reading →

The post Remembering Muhammad Ali: TV programs and schedules appeared first on Channel Guide Magazine.

In naming our favorite boxing movies last fall, we said, “Michael Mann‘s epic portrait of Muhammad Ali marvelously depicts the champ and the cultural upheaval surrounding his storied and controversial career,” adding that, “Ali is a thoughtful and aesthetically flawless picture, which succeeds in conveying the harrowing emotions the People’s Champion felt inside and outside of the ring.” Following the passing of the legendary boxer last weekend, Sony has announced the film will be returning to a few hundred theaters this weekend. While we lament some aspects of digital distribution, consider this a check in the positive column.

“When we made Ali, Will Smith dedicated a year to become Ali. No director ever had a better, more stand-up partner,” Mann tells Variety in a recent guest column. “In the early days, in one of my meetings with Ali, he said one of the most important concerns to him...

Sony Pictures has announced plans for a re-release of Michael Mann's 2001 biopic "Ali" in the wake of the death of boxing great Muhammad Ali on Friday night at age 74.

Will Smith stars in the film which charts the life and career of the three-time heavyweight champion, philanthropist and civil rights icon from 1964 to his 1974 victory over George Foreman.

The film will play this weekend in a few hundred theaters nationwide. Rory Bruer, president of Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures said in a statement:

I had a close friend and brother-in-arms named Larry Schlam, an attorney who specialized in juvenile rights. He later became a law professor and a lecturer on that same issue. He had been a doo-wop singer in Brooklyn, but that has no relevance to this topic. As it comes to us all, Larry died last year.

Back in 1971 or 1972, I was with Larry at his office in downtown Chicago. We were working late – to the extent that we were actually working – and I left around 10 Pm. As I walked towards the elevators, I saw one about to close and, like many late-evening neurotics, I was convinced that was the last elevator for the night. I shouted “Please hold the elevator!” and a giant mitt popped out to hold the door open. I trotted into the booth, turned to thank my benefactor, and found myself face-to-face with Muhammad Ali.

In the wake of Muhammad Ali's tragic death, the world has begun to mourn. Shortly after the athlete passed, his children and grandchildren posted tributes celebrating his life. Now, President Obama has released an official statement eulogizing the boxing legend. We'd try to summarize his words, but we really wouldn't be able to do it justice. Read the statement in full below. Muhammad Ali was The Greatest. Period. If you just asked him, he'd tell you. He'd tell you he was the double greatest; that he'd "handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder into jail." But what made The Champ the greatest – what truly separated him from everyone else – is that everyone else would tell you pretty much the same thing.

To Muhammad Ali's children, he wasn't just "the greatest." The boxing legend was also a teacher, a hero and a "humble mountain," according to a series of heartbreaking social media posts published just hours after his family announced his death at 74.

President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama joined others across the world in mourning the death of boxing legend Muhammad Ali - though they knew him "just for a while." "But we're also grateful to God for how fortunate we are to have known him, if just for a while; for how fortunate we all are that The Greatest chose to grace our time," Barack, 54, said in a Saturday statement. Ali died Friday after being hospitalized earlier this week for respiratory complications, according to his family. The Obamas are among many public figures speaking out, including Bill and Hillary Clinton.

To say Muhammad Ali, who died on Friday at the age of 74, had a way with words is something of an understatement. His press conferences and interviews redefined the way people saw boxers - and to a larger extent, professional athletes in general - and made sportswriters everywhere reconsider their own turns of phrase. Although his voice was eventually silenced by his battle with Parkinson's disease, Ali was as known for the comical insults he dished to opponents as he was for the self-aggrandizing brags he tossed out about himself, he was also a fiercely intelligent and introspective man.

Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali has died. The 74-year-old sports icon passed away at a Phoenix-area hospital on Friday after having spent the past few days being treated for complications due to a respiratory issue. A spokesman for the Ali family confirmed the sad news, saying, "After a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening." Muhammad Ali, who was born Cassius Clay and dubbed "The Greatest," began boxing at the age of 12. He rose to fame in the 1960s and soon became well-known not just for his athletic prowess but also for his activism and controversial political outlook. He also had an infamous way with words, coining phrases like "I'm the king of the world" and "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." He was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease over three decades ago and was rendered nearly speechless,...

The debilitating disease of Parkinson's may have "diminished him," but a friend of Muhammad Ali says the boxing legend has never stopped fighting. The sports icon is largely confined to a wheelchair 85 to 90 percent of the time, his friend Davis Miller tells People, but he "still plays with kids even in a wheelchair. He lights up around kids." "He's 74 and in late stages of Parkinson's and still fights every day and all day long. There's a magic about Muhammad Ali - everything from his elegance in the ring to his sense of humor, which has a childlike quality to it.
