Keanu Reeves is one of the most extraordinary movie stars of the past several decades, as he has managed to earn both legitimate praise and ironic appreciation. Although he began appearing in heartthrob roles just as the “Brat Pack” era began its decline, Reeves would become one of the definitive action stars of his generation alongside Tom Cruise and Wesley Snipes. In between his major sequels, Reeves still found a way to take on ambitious projects from acclaimed filmmakers, such as Taylor Hackford’s unusual legal thriller “The Devil’s Advocate” and Nancy Meyers’ charming romantic-comedy “Something’s Gotta Give.”

Despite facing a brief recess in his career after a series of critical disappointments in the first half of the 21st century, Reeves launched a major comeback when the “John Wick” franchise gave him another opportunity to show his merits as an action star. Reeves is clearly passionate about both the character...

In James D.R. Hickox's 1995 horror flick "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest," the rural mayhem of Gatlin, Nebraska is transposed to the concrete wilds of Chicago. A child cult leader named Eli (Daniel Porter) is adopted by a citybound foster mother (Nancy Lee Grahn) who is astonished by his gentle demeanor and Amish-like language. What she doesn't know is that he worships a demonic corn deity (!) called He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Said deity had been mentioned in both 1984's "Children of the Corn" and 1992's "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice," but no one had ever seen the elusive Hwwbtr, leaving its true nature mysterious. 

Eli has magical corn kernels in his possession, and he can swiftly grow and harvest a miniature corn crop in an isolated Chicago lot. This attracts both Hwwbtr and an eager cult of teen followers. Eli, like his "Corn" forebears,...

Few actors have had an influence as great as Matt Damon. With his ability to carefully pick the projects he stars in, he has curated one of the most vast and impressive filmographies of all time. From starting his career in Good Will Hunting to heading the Jason Bourne series and even being a part of films like Saving Private Ryan and Interstellar, he has been in a surprising number of Oscar-nominated projects.

While these achievements have made him one of the most beloved and respected figures in the film industry, it is important to remember that he is not above making bad decisions. Unfortunately for Damon, one of the most disappointing moments in his professional life came because he listened to the advice of another Oscar winner.

Why did Keanu Reeves pass on Speed 2? (Photo Credit – Facebook/Prime Video)

Keanu Reeves made one of the smartest career moves ever by giving Speed 2 a hard pass. The first Speed was an absolute adrenaline rush, a steady ride of shambles and outbursts. So when they announced a sequel, everyone just assumed Reeves would be back for more but nope, he slammed the brakes on that one.

Instead of him racing against time, we got Jason Patric as Sandra Bullock’s new on-screen boyfriend. Not precisely something fans were hoping for. Reeves took one look at the script and knew it wasn’t exemplary. So, he trusted his gut and walked away. And guess what? He was right.

Why Keanu Reeves Opted Out of Speed 2

When Speed 2 dropped, everyone presumed Keanu Reeves would be back as Jack Traven. After all, he was a major reason the...

Jan de Bont’s Speed was a massive blockbuster success for 20th Century Studios, and more than that, it made Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock international stars. With the fame and money that the franchise made, it’s only logical to expect a sequel. Unfortunately, the John Wick star opted out of it.

Without Reeves, Speed 2: Cruise Control tanked at the box office, but it was more of a deficiency in the script. This is why the actor did not return—he wasn’t feeling it, in plain speak. Now, he’s got a new project that almost feels like it is set in the same atmosphere as Speed.

Ah, "The Notebook," the go-to romantic drama for date nights and Valentine's Day. This 2004 tear-jerker about good-looking people dealing with love and heartbreak hits all the feels, right down to its surprising and emotional twist ending.

Starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, the story follows the love affair between Noah (Gosling) and Allie (McAdams) as told by an elderly man (James Garner) to a female patient (Gena Rowlands) in the present. Noah, you see, is a poor lumber mill worker, while Allie is rich beyond belief. Naturally, her parents object, then a war whisks Noah away long enough for Allie to become engaged with another man (James Marsden). Will our star-crossed lovers overcome the many obstacles and end happily ever after, or will life pull them apart?

Look, "The Notebook," as directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on the novel by perennial tear-jerk king Nicholas Sparks, doesn't earn points for originality...

‘Beyond the Gates’ (Btg) spoilers reveal that Tamara Tunie, who will play Anita Dupree in the new soap, was born in 1959 as one of six children raised in Pennsylvania. Her parents were James W. Tunie and Evelyn Hawkins Tunie.

‘Beyond The Gates’ Spoilers: Tunie’s First Soap Role Was Jessica Griffin On As The World Turns

Tamara Tunie is a veteran of the iconic soap, “As the World Turns.” She played attorney Jessica Griffin on and off from 1987 to 1995.

Tunie reprised the role from 1999 to 2007. She returned briefly in 2009. Longtime soap fans will know Jessica made an indelible mark in Oakdale, was linked to several major characters, and was part of a core African American family.

Tamara received nominations for the NAACP Image Awards. The award was for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series in 2003 and 2004.

As the show’s matriarch, Tunie joins the cast of the upcoming soap Beyond the Gates.

Let’s rewind to 1994. Speed became an instant classic, throwing us into the high-stakes drama of a bus wired to explode if it dropped below 50 mph. It had it all—especially Keanu Reeves as the heroic cop Jack Traven, Sandra Bullock as the witty passenger Annie Porter, and a plot that kept us hooked.

Naturally, fans couldn’t wait for a sequel. But then came Speed 2: Cruise Control in 1997. And, well it wasn’t what anyone hoped for. The high-speed bus was swapped for a slow-moving cruise ship, and Reeves didn’t return.

So, why did our beloved Jack Traven ditch the sequel, leaving Annie Porter to awkwardly flirt with a new guy? Turns out, the lead star had some solid reasons, and honestly? He dodged a bullet—or maybe a sinking ship.

Keanu Reeves’ reason for skipping...

Image Source: Warner Bros Al Pacino as the Devil? Now that’s what you call spot-on casting! That’s exactly what 1997’s supernatural thriller The Devil’s Advocate delivered. Packed with mystery, drama, and performances that command your attention, this film remains a cult favorite decades later. Joining Pacino are Keanu Reeves and an award-winning Charlize Theron, creating a trio that brought fire to the screen. The movie wasn’t just a critical hit; it made a whopping $153 million globally. Over 25 years later, it’s still turning heads and enticing new fans to take a walk on the dark side. Inspired by Andrew Neiderman’s 1990 novel, the story revolves around a hotshot Florida lawyer named Kevin Lomax, who’s lured to a high-powered Manhattan law firm offering unimaginable opportunities. But as his wife battles chilling, otherworldly visions, Kevin begins piecing together a terrifying truth — his charming and enigmatic boss, John Milton,...

Al Pacino is set to star alongside Dan Stevens in the upcoming demonic possession movie The Ritual in 2025, which will continue an exciting trend that has dominated horror movies for the last year. Due to release in April 2025, The Ritual will feature Pacino and Stevens as two troubled priests who come together to perform a series of exorcisms on a young American girl. The movie is based on a real-world exorcism, as it follows the ordeal of Emma Schmidt, whose exorcism is one of the most thoroughly documented cases on record.

Horror in general is having a resurgence both from a quality and from a box office standpoint, as production companies like Neon and A24 have brought haunting stories to the big screen for relatively small dollar amounts with tremendous results. Dan Stevens' inclusion in The Ritual is exciting thanks to his extensive background in horror, but it's Pacino's inclusion...

Al Pacino has played the Devil before (in the 1997 film The Devil’s Advocate), and earlier this year we learned that he would be playing an enemy of the Devil in the exorcism horror film The Ritual. Taking on the role of a troubled priest, Pacino stars in the film alongside Dan Stevens of Abigail and Godzilla x Kong, who also plays a troubled priest. We’ll get to see how well this troubled duo fares against Satan when XYZ Films gives The Ritual a theatrical release on April 18th, 2025 – and with that date just four months away, a teaser poster for The Ritual has been unveiled. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

Based on a true story, The Ritual will center on two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save...

Connie Nielsen's long and significant career has included some of the best movies of the past several decades, including the iconic Ridley Scott film Gladiator. Though it can be difficult for an actor to be known for such a specific role in a period film, this hasn't stopped Nielsen from broadening her horizons and taking on projects within many different genres. From strong and fearsome heroines to tender love interests, Nielsen has never been afraid to be a part of unexpected works that polarize audiences. However, this is likely how she developed her skills as a formidable actress.

Nielsen knows Lucilla's influence in Gladiator II and has been open about discussing the roles that women play in male-dominated works like the Gladiator franchise. However, it's not only in action blockbusters that Nielsen has brought this reflective perspective to the forefront of her work. Gladiator isn't the only cinematic universe she's been a part of,...

Horror movies have a long-standing reputation for over-the-top performances, with some of them standing the test of time despite their aggressive camp. Performances in horror movies often go overlooked, with a high degree of acting skill necessary to convey the heart-thumping terror of one's life being endangered by a masked serial killer or a supernatural entity from beyond the grave. While certain horror movies do excel with the subtlety of their performances, is the bombastic, over-the-top characters that are recognized even years later.

There are a wide variety of horror movie characters that might necessitate a campy, no-holds-barred performance. Most obviously, many horror movie villains require an actor willing to get big and loud with their takes, making themselves into a ferocious predator operating beyond the confines of typical human interaction. In other cases, the victims themselves may need to get wild and wicked with their performances, requiring actors to...

A new poster has been unveiled via Letterboxd today for XYZ Films’ The Ritual, an upcoming exorcism horror movie that the poster touts as “based on a true story.” It also announces to expect the horror movie this Easter weekend.

The Ritual is set to release in theaters on April 18, 2025.

Al Pacino (The Devil’s Advocate) and Dan Stevens star in the film that “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

The film also stars Ashley Greene (the Twilight franchise)

As for the true story that it’s drawing from, Variety previously reported that The Ritual is “an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.

Keanu Reeves has landed iconic roles that range from bullet-dodging freedom fighter to a dude-level time traveler. There was one movie, however, where he would've made for an interesting addition to an already stellar collection of cast members, had he only taken up the offer. According to The New Zealand Herald, Reeves very nearly ended up starring in "Heat," the revered 1995 Michael Mann crime movie (even though Mann didn't see it as one) that had Robert De Niro and Al Pacino face off against one another in a perfect cat and mouse chase. For better or for worse, though, Reeves instead chose to tread the boards in a Canadian theatre production of "Hamlet."

Had he taken the job, Reeves would've played the number two to Neil McCauley (De Niro), Chris Shiherlis, which instead went to Val Kilmer and became one of the actor's career highlights. Luckily, though, Reeves still managed...

Connie Nielsen, the stunner Danish actress who never ceases to amuse her audiences with her brilliant performances, has recently returned to the big screens with Gladiator 2, reprising her role as Lucilla. And yet, there’s just something uncanny about it all, perhaps about her returning to her character or simply the existence of this sequel to Gladiator in the first place.

That said, of course, there was a lot of buzz surrounding this very recently released sequel, with a lot of fans opposing its making and Nielsen’s return for reasons all too understandable. Now that the film has finally hit the screens and the actress recalls her journey of coming back, it feels like she might as well have just listened to fans begging her to stay away from this flick.

Connie Nielsen Recalls Fans Not Wanting Her to...

The original "Jason Bourne" films hold up as the best American action movie trilogy made in the last few decades. Loosely based on the 1980s novel trilogy by Robert Ludlum, Matt Damon stars as Bourne, a CIA assassin who winds up on the run from his handlers after coming down with amnesia.

In this rock solid trilogy, which of the three is the best? "The Bourne Identity," where the audience and Jason himself slowly piece together the truth of who he is, has the most involved narrative. Unlike the next two sequels, "Identity" is not only a relentless chase. Directed by Doug Liman, "Identity" also lacks the visual language (shaky-cam) that defines the subsequent "Bourne Supremacy" and "Bourne Ultimatum."

For my money, "The Bourne Ultimatum" is the best one. Director Paul Greengrass refines his skills and makes the movie move like an action machine. It also has a similar mystery...

Keanu Reeves donated to the Matrix crew from his salary (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Keanu Reeves isn’t just a Hollywood legend—he’s the real Mvp of generosity. While most stars would’ve pocketed the cash and bounced, Keanu flipped the script for the Matrix sequels. Instead of stacking all his earnings from Reloaded and Revolutions, he donated millions to the crew. Yep, you read that right—millions. This wasn’t some token gesture, either; he straight-up funneled his profit share into the hands of the special effects and costume teams. Why? Because Keanu knew they were making the movie’s mind-blowing visuals come to life. The man gets it.

Keanu was in line to make bank—around $40 million to $100 million from the sequels—but he still decided to give it back. The man said, “These guys made the movie,” and gave up roughly $75 million of his earnings. And because he’s Keanu,...

A new episode of our What Happened to This Celebrity series just dropped on the JoBlo Originals YouTube channel, and with this one we’re taking a look at the life and career of one of the most beloved actors of his generation: Keanu Reeves. Here’s a guy who has been in the acting world since the 1980s, and just keeps getting more and more popular as the years go by. How is this possible? Well, it helps when you can play a dog-avenging badass like John Wick… and it also helps to have a reputation as being one of the most kind, warmhearted people in Hollywood. To hear all about Keanu Reeves, and to celebrate a very cool dude, check out the video embedded above.

As mentioned in the video, Reeves’ acting skills have been criticized, but he has made some great movies and brought to life some iconic characters.

Your honor, I must confess — I have a mighty big soft spot for "The Devil's Advocate." The 1997 supernatural courtroom thriller stars Keanu Reeves as Kevin Lomax, a hotshot Florida lawyer (with the world's sketchiest Southern accent) who is recruited by a fiendish defense attorneys office in New York, run by the charismatic and slightly terrifying John Milton (Al Pacino). As he abandons his morals in order to win cases, Kevin's wife Mary Ann (Charlize Theron) starts having horrific visions with demonic influences. You see, Milton isn't just devilishly handsome and talented, he's also actually the devil himself.

"The Devil's Advocate" completely hinges on Pacino's performance, as he plays Milton with a kind of outlandish delight that only a rare few of our greatest actors could ever attempt. It's a little bit Tony Montana from "Scarface" when he's on copious amounts of coke and a little bit Lieutenant Hanna from "Heat,...

Renowned for his performances in films like The Godfather, Scarface, and The Devil’s Advocate, Al Pacino has been one of Hollywood’s most iconic and celebrated actors. And the actor is more than grateful for the opportunities he’s been given, including for his brief appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The actor recently shared insight into his appearance in the role of a talent agent Marvin Schwarz, in his new memoir, Sonny Boy, stating that his scene with Leonardo DiCaprio was originally much longer but was shortened in the final version of the film.

Over the years, Charlize Theron has become known for her versatility and powerful on-screen presence. With hits like The Devil’s Advocate, Monster, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Atomic Blonde in her arsenal, the star has earned her place in Hollywood.

Amidst all her great projects, there is one recent role that stood out. It was the 49-year-old’s portrayal of Megyn Kelly in the 2019 film Bombshell that earned her widespread acclaim and an Academy Award nomination.

The movie dove into the s*xual harassment scandal that rocked Fox News in 2016. Theron stepped into the shoes of the controversial TV anchor and brought her story to life. Shortly after the film was released, the actress revealed why she spent time watching Fox News, despite her personal political views.

When The Old Guard began streaming on Netflix, not many would have anticipated that it would go on to become one of the top 10 most successful original launches in the platform’s history. It did, making it a project Netflix was willing to make a sequel of. But that wasn’t the only thing the movie was memorable for.

Charlize Theron, portraying the role of Andy would slay yet again in an action role, a phenomenon that was being repeated constantly. The Monster star had already begun to carve a reputation for herself with Mad Max: Fury Road. Add to that some other projects along the way, and fans believed that they she had dethroned another great from the seat of the best Female action star in Hollywood.

Charlize Theron’s action-packed sci-fi Aeon Flux was meant to be a blockbuster hit, but instead, it crashed harder than a malfunctioning futuristic robot. After sensing the project was doomed, Theron wasn’t exactly surprised when it flopped. The unexpected twist? This box-office disaster led to her hilarious turn in Arrested Development. Theron embraced the absurdity of failure, turning her career stumble into comedy gold.

In hindsight, the flop may have been just what she needed—opening the door to more lighthearted roles and proving that even Hollywood A-listers can make the best of a bad situation. Who knew Aeon Flux would be a stepping stone to quirky TV brilliance? Theron’s rollercoaster career never looked so fun!

Four years later, Al Pacino is opening up about his near-death experience with Covid-19.

The Academy Award winner revealed his “pulse was gone” after he had a bad reaction to steroids while being treated for a life-threatening Coronavirus infection back in 2020.

“It was so — you’re here, you’re not,” he told The New York Times. “I thought: Wow, you don’t even have your memories. You have nothing. Strange porridge.”

Pacino recounted, “What happened was, I felt not good — unusually not good. Then I had a fever, and I was getting dehydrated and all that. So I got someone to get me a nurse to hydrate me. I was sitting there in my house, and I was gone. Like that. I didn’t have a pulse. In a matter of minutes they were there — the ambulance in front of my house. I had about six paramedics in that living room,...

When we think of monsters on this channel, most of the time its from a fictional, mythical, or legendary monster like the Mummy, Wolfman, Dracula, or Frankenstein’s Monster. On this specific show, however, a Monster can take on a whole new meaning. I joke that half of these episodes will be about reportedly true possessions and while that will probably hold fast, there is another type of monster we have discussed a few times. The guy that loosely inspired the Scream killings, Henry from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and today’s subject Aileen Wuornos. The movie made about her is literally called Monster and put director Patty Jenkins and star Charlize Theron, at least in terms of her being seen as an A list actor who can actually act, on the map. It’s a straightforward telling of a murderer that of course adds nuance and even...

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens are set to lead the cast of upcoming exorcism horror movie The Ritual from XYZ Films and director David Midell, and Variety reports this week that XYZ Films is “planning a U.S. theatrical release in 2025.” Additionally, Variety notes in today’s fresh report that the movie has “sold out for most international territories by XYZ Films.”

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

Hollywood often marvels at the rise of stars who seemingly emerge overnight, and one such celebrated actor whose career once skyrocketed, is the charismatic icon Keanu Reeves. Beginning his entertainment journey from promising actor to beloved heartthrob, Reeves cemented his place in the industry with career-defining roles in The Matrix and Sandra Bullock’s Speed.

However, long before his breakout moment and his subsequent roles that solidified his status and earned him a devoted fan base, Keanu Reeves’ potential was recognized by Michelle Pfeiffer, who had a keen eye for talent. Working with Reeves in Stephen Frears’ 1988 hit Dangerous Liaisons, the director revealed recently on how Pfeiffer had identified the actor’s future stardom.

Reeves' diverse career has had ups and downs, marked by hits like The Devil's Advocate and misses like The Whole Truth. The Whole Truth fell short due to a lackluster script, slow pace, and poor character development, contrasting with the success of The Devil's Advocate. Reeves struggles with underdeveloped character arcs in The Whole Truth, failing to leave a lasting impact compared to his role in The Devil's Advocate.

Although Keanu Reeves has gained widespread popularity, his performance in 2016s The Whole Truth shadowed in comparison to his film with Al Pacino in The Devils Advocate. Reeves career has been marked by several milestones, and hes had the uncanny ability to reinvent himself through the decades, maintaining relevance with newer generations.

Keanu Reeves is one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, and often smokes in roles, leading some to wonder if he is a smoker in real life. He is, and it is actually a habit he started because of a movie role. The A-list star is not only beloved because of his acting skill, but because of how he fits into the celebrity landscape.

Despite being a high profile celebrity, Theron has managed to keep her private life away from the limelight.

The first official trailer for Ridley Scott's long-awaited historical action epic Gladiator II has arrived online and it's every bit as epic as you'd expect as Paul Mescal (Normal People; Aftersun; The Lost Daughter) squares off against 3x Primetime Emmy-nominee Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian; Game of Thrones; Narcos) and Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington (Training Day; Fences; Malcolm X).

As per the official synopsis, "Gladiator II continues the epic saga of power, intrigue, and vengeance set in Ancient Rome. Years after witnessing the death of the revered hero Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius (Paul Mescal) is forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist. With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people.

Eminem has had one of the greatest careers of all time. He has collectively been regarded as the king of the rap genre, having had hits follow him through his professional life. He is known for being ruthless when it comes to his songs; always having something to say, and the world waiting to listen to his every word. There is no better example of this than his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).

The first single from the album has been breaking the internet, specifically because of the significance the title itself could have for his persona, Slim Shady. Recently, the rapper released a teaser clip for the album, and fans are extremely excited.

Charlize Theron is easily one of the most effortless beauties with magnificent talent in the film industry, having scored so many fan-favorite roles and outdone pretty much all of them. But while she has done everything from rom-coms to action-thrillers to fantasy-adventures to comedy-dramas, fans are still yet to have one wish fulfilled: Seeing her play the female Thor.

While Natalie Portman already played this character as Jane Foster in 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder, years before that, a fan laid this prospect ahead of Theron. And, while she wasn’t too sure about playing the character back then as she must be now, Theron still ended up winning fans’ hearts with her unceremoniously flirty response to the fan who expressed this wish to her.

As far as horror franchises go, the Friday the 13th franchise which featured 12 films between 1980 and 2009, became a big hit with fans across the world. While the movies has never found much favor with critics, it succeeded in keeping audiences invested in its narrative featuring the central protagonist Mrs Vorhees and her son Jason.

Following a long gap after the 2009 edition with Danielle Panabaker and Jared Padalecki, fans were excited to hear of the introduction of a series based on the narrative titled Crystal Lake. Reports coming in pointed to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars Charlize Theron playing the terrifying Mrs Voorhees in the show. Unfortunately, this exciting initiative is still to materialize and remains a pipe dream.

For as much as Al Pacino is known for his quiet intensity — especially in the reticent and calculating role of Michael Corleone in "The Godfather" — what comes to mind when we think of the actor are usually his loud outbursts. It's amazing that such vocal power comes from this short king. But Al Pacino doesn't just yell for the sake of being overdramatic, he uses his voice to capture how the high emotions of his characters bubble to the surface, especially in high-stress situations. While some of these screaming scenes verge on self-parody, there's no denying their impact on his legacy. Pacino's volcanic energy is rooted in his love of theatre, where actors are not afraid to go big and loud. As an actor with a passion for Shakespeare, Al Pacino has a deep understanding of how important voice is in a role. He recognizes that dialogue should be treated like music,...

Seven years after his career imploded amid dozens of sexual misconduct accusations, Kevin Spacey’s ongoing efforts to resurrect his career have taken him to Italy. The two-time Oscar winner will star as The Devil in The Contract, one of three projects that will soon involve Italian filmmaker Massimiliano Caroletti and his wife, the former porn star Eva Henger.

Cinecittà News, the official news outlet of Rome’s famed Cinecittà Studios, revealed on Tuesday that the project, which recently wrapped shooting in Rome, is being directed by Massimo Paolucci (All in One Day) and will be produced by Tm Entertainment and Sandro Lazzerini. The thriller is based on an idea by Caroletti and scripted by Henger.

Kevin Spacey may have been found not guilty in his sex offenses trial last year, but he still might as well be The Devil as far as a lot of people are concerned – so it’s fitting that he does indeed play a version of The Devil in his latest project, the psychological thriller The Contract, which just wrapped production in Italy. Spacey’s character in the film directed by Massimo Paolucci is called The Devil, and the filmmakers told Variety that his role is along the lines of “Al Pacino’s in The Devil’s Advocate as Satan who takes the guise of a human lawyer, and that of Robert De Niro in Angel Heart, a Satanic businessman who hires a seedy gumshoe detective to descend into Hell.”

Details on the plot of the English-language film have not been revealed. Spacey is joined in the cast by Eric Roberts and Vincent Spano.
