For over a decade, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been a lightning rod in the global debate over press freedom, transparency and the reach of U.S. power. From the release of the notorious “Collateral Murder” video to his years-long exile inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Assange has been hailed as a journalistic freedom fighter and vilified as a national security threat. Now, with The Six Billion Dollar Man, director Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight, The House I Live In) turns his lens on what he calls “the most consequential political prisoner of our time,” delivering a searing exposé that uncovers the staggering cost the U.S. was willing to pay to silence him.

Jarecki’s latest documentary is a cinematic pressure cooker — part investigative thriller, part legal procedural and part character study — that digs deep into the forces aligned against Assange. Featuring interviews with human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson,...

“There is nothing so agonizing as the silence of systems that should be screaming,” I muttered halfway through Murderbot’s third episode, Risk Assessment. What a curious cocktail this one turned out to be: equal parts existential discomfort, synthetic angst, awkward camaraderie, and enough sarcasm to power a snark reactor.

Episode 3 doesn’t so much escalate as it unspools, stretching its humor, tension, and theme like overused duct tape, nearly slipping under its own weight. And yet, like Murderbot itself, it keeps limping forward with just enough bite to stay interesting. The jokes? Recycled. The pace? More meander than march. But the character work, especially around Alexander Skarsgård’s brittle, anti-social SecUnit, is the meat here.

The humans dawdle, argue, cry into pillows, and shove emotions down Murderbot’s steel throat, whether it wants them or not. In short, the episode tries to be thoughtful. Does it succeed? Well, I think halfway.

The saga of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has dragged on long enough, and complicatedly enough, to render a number of past films about him, if not obsolete, clear period pieces. Documentaries like Alex Gibney’s 2013 “We Steal Secrets” and Laura Poitras’ 2016 “Risk,” both produced during the Obama era, are informed by a very different political climate from the one we’re in now — while neither could have anticipated how the Australian editor and activist’s legal difficulties would escalate in the years to come. With Assange finally freed last year after 12 years of confinement or outright imprisonment in the U.K., the time feels right for an expansive catch-up on the whole knotty affair: Enter Eugene Jarecki’s plainly presented but detail-packed documentary “The Six Billion Dollar Man,” which premiered at Cannes (with Assange himself present) in the festival’s Special Screenings program.

Beginning with the founding of initially modest...

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been the focus of numerous documentaries: Alex Gibney’s We Steal Secrets explored the website Assange created that exposed U.S. war crimes in Iraq, an immense cache of U.S. diplomatic cables, and much more. Oscar winner Laura Poitras also took a crack at Assange and Wikileaks in her 2016 documentary Risk. Assange himself directed a documentary short, Collateral Murder, about the 2007 video Wikileaks released that showed a U.S. military helicopter crew opening fire on unarmed journalists and civilians in Iraq.

That may sound like sufficient coverage of Assange, but director Eugene Jarecki shows it’s important to revisit him and the work of Wikileaks in light of rising authoritarianism in the U.S. and abroad. At a moment when democracy is in retreat (as author Anne Applebaum has put it), Jarecki’s film The Six Billion Dollar Man raises the question of whether...

Shift 7: Risk Taking Season 2 Episode 7 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing,” titled “Shift 7: Risk Taking,” promises to bring excitement and intense competition to the Food Network.

This challenge will test the chefs’ creativity and ability to handle heat, as they strive to impress the judges.

After the street food challenge, the pressure will rise even higher. The chefs will have to prepare a finale-worthy fish dish that will be judged by the renowned Andrew Zimmern. This task will require not only skill but also a keen understanding of flavors and presentation. The stakes are high, as the chefs aim to secure their place...

Editor’s note: Deadline’s It Starts on the Page (Drama) features 10 standout drama series scripts in 2025 Emmy contention.

When Noah Wyle reunited with ER producers John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill to make HBO Max’s The Pitt, the plan was to offer a realistic portrayal of healthcare today through the lens of harried pros working in a fictitious Pittsburgh hospital.

What they didn’t expect was how their 15-episode drama would singlehandedly reinvigorate a genre that has grown predictable and downright exhausting with overused tropes and kooky, case-of-the-week tales.

In this telling, the trio of ER alums have crafted an engrossing saga that chronicles a typical 15-hour day in a trauma hospital. Beginning with the premiere episode “7:00 A.M.,” penned by Gemmill and directed by Wells, The Pitt introduces us to Wyle’s Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, who – on the anniversary of...

Top Chef Season 22 is starting to feel…..a little different. Not because of any crazy twists or rule changes, but because of one chef, Tristen Epps. While there’s no doubt that he’s possibly among the strongest chefs in the show, the recent happenings in his personal life and how he handled all of that have placed him at the top, in the eyes of viewers at least.

That’s right, after the sudden passing of his stepfather, Epps maintained his calm and composure in the game. This is the very fact that has made the show a bit bizarre to watch, as instead of wondering who’s going to rise to the top, I’m starting to wonder if there’s even a real competition left with Epps’ dominance taking over the entire show.

Can anyone catch up to Tristen Epps in Top Chef Season 22?

Over the years, Sandra Bullock has starred in many films that have caused fans to demand more. While some have followed through, with Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous and the upcoming Practical Magic sequel being the perfect examples, some desperately need follow-ups.

One of the most widely wanted sequels has been a continuation of her story as Annie Porter in a third Speed film. However, Bullock seems to have plenty of original films that never got to see the light of day.

During an interview, Brad Pitt once revealed that he and Bullock were supposed to star in a film, and the plot certainly sounds intriguing.

Gracie Abrams is having quite an exciting run as a singer and songwriter, and soon, she will receive a special honor. Gracie — who is the daughter of movie director J.J. Abrams — released her sophomore album The Secret of Us, last year, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album boasted hits like “Risk,” the Taylor Swift-assisted “Us,” and perhaps her biggest single “That’s So True” on the album’s deluxe edition.

General Hospital predictions suspect Sasha Gilmore could be in danger after Jason Morgan‘s recent outburst on the ABC daytime drama.

Jason Morgan Steps up for Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital

Currently, on General Hospital, the rumor that Jason Morgan is Sasha Gilmore’s baby daddy is spreading like wildfire. So, they’ve decided to go with it to make it easier to hide the truth that Michael Corinthos is the father.

If the truth gets out, Michael could lose his children. So, Sasha is protecting him while he’s recovering from severe burns. No doubt, she’s protecting herself too so she doesn’t have to admit she slept with Michael.

Of course, Michael is like a son to Jason on General Hospital. He will do anything for him. So, he’s agreed to play along with Sasha and pretend to be the father of her child until or...

In what could be yet another record for a major theatrical-to-digital shortened window of release, there's a rumor that Mark Wahlberg's Flight Riskcould be heading to digital and VOD just a few weeks after its theatrical debut. The movie opened in theaters on Jan. 24, 2025, and earned $11.5 million on its opening weekend in North America. While the audience liked it enough to give it a 63% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics savaged it with a 29% rotten rating. Now, there's a report from When to Stream claiming it'll be on VOD and digital on Valentine's Day, just three weeks after its debut.

On paper, Flight Risk would appear to be a potential hit: It's directed by Mel Gibson (Braveheart), has a pretty good cast, and an intriguing plot and setting. Wahlberg plays a pilot named Daryl helping transport a witness (Grace), who is set to testify against his crime boss, for a U.

Last weekend, Dreamworks Animation‘s Dog Man took a bite out of the top spot at the domestic box office while howling at the moon with $36M for its opening weekend. Drew Hancock’s psychological thriller Companion trailed behind Dog Man with a pooper-scooper despite favorable reviews (including one from JoBlo’s Tyler Nichols) for a $9.5M opening. As a spinoff of the Captain Underpants books by Dav Pilkey, Dog Man features a starry cast of voice talent, including Pete Davidson, Isla Fisher, Lil Rel Howery, Poppy Liu, and Ricky Gervais. The half-man, half-dog, all-cop animated comedy stands to lift its leg on the number one slot at the box office this weekend with an additional $16M-$20M, even as Super Bowl Lix looks to tackle a majority of audiences.

Chasing after Dog Man this weekend is the Jonathan Eusebio-directed action comedy Love Hurts, starring Everything Everywhere All At Once...

The entertainment industry has struggled for a long time with controversies. The latest controversy involves Karla Sofía Gascón, who was unfollowed by The Oscars on social media. Many saw this as a response to her past bigoted statements.

While her actions are unacceptable, this situation highlights a deeper problem, Hollywood’s unwillingness to apply the same scrutiny to others with serious allegations.

Filmmakers like Roman Polanski and Woody Allen continue to have careers despite troubling accusations. Actors like Mark Wahlberg, who has a history of violent hate crimes, still receive praise. The industry often separates art from the artist when it is convenient. This inconsistency raises questions about who gets held accountable and why.

While we wait to see whether or not Warner Bros. is going to give Lethal Weapon franchise star Mel Gibson the chance to direct Lethal Weapon 5, Lionsgate is preparing to give the Gibson-directed action thriller Flight Risk a theatrical release on January 24th – and with that date right around the corner, we have gotten our hands on a batch of Exclusive behind the scenes images, which you can check out at the bottom of this article. Lionsgate has also unveiled a featurette, and you can watch that in the embed above.

Scripted by Jared Rosenberg, Flight Risk has the following synopsis: In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg plays a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.

The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection looks to be finally moving forward. After years of development, Mel Gibson was spotted location scouting in Europe earlier this week for the hotly-anticipated sequel to his 2004 biblical blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, suggesting that the project may be close to entering production.

Puglia Film Commission director Antonio Parente shared that Mel Gibson toured Malta with a production team and subsequently arrived in the Southern Italian region of Puglia where he visited various rural locations, including the ancient towns of Ginosa, Gravina Laterza, and Altamura. However, Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, was quick to fan the flames regarding a filming start date for Resurrection, telling Variety, "All we can confirm is they were scouting locations recently ... not a lot to discuss at this early stage."

Hollowbody answers a question that I am not sure anyone asked; what happens when you set the awkward slow burn gameplay of Silent Hill against the sci-fi noir backdrop of Blade Runner and sprinkle in UK soap opera dialogue reminiscent of an edgier Coronation Street?

The result is a worthwhile experience that becomes especially impressive when you learn that it was created by one person, even if it does lean a bit too much on the media it is inspired by.

To quote a vastly overrated and only moderately funny sitcom created by a washed up creep, “I’m sorry, we’ve already got a George.” In an era of an imminently releasing Silent Hill 2 official remake and countless other upcoming titles inspired by that game, it causes one to question whether we really needed another clone; even if it is extremely well made by a singular creative force.

Mark Wahlberg is set to star in the upcoming comedy film Weekend Warriors, based on the German original Weekend Rebels. Stephen Chobsky's Weekend Warriors will change the setting from soccer to basketball, bringing in NBA elements. Beyond Wahlberg, the other casting for the film has yet to be announced.

Mark Wahlberg is set to star in a new remake film called Weekend Warriors. In recent years, Wahlberg has played a variety of roles, including dramas and action films. This year, those roles include a part in the just-released Netflix action-spy movie The Union, as well as the Mel Gibson survival drama Flight Risk. Wahlberg's other recent titles include Arthur the King, The Family Plan, and Father Stu.

Setting his next project, Deadline reports that Wahlberg is now involved in the upcoming comedy Weekend Warriors. Apple Original Films had scored rights to the project, which will be written and directed by...

Blue Bloods' enduring popularity is due to its focus on the Reagan family, showcasing both heartwarming family moments and intense, high-stakes drama. Iconic episodes like "Risk and Reward" and "Bad Company" tackle complex issues while highlighting family dynamics and emotional depth. The series' ability to blend police procedural plots with family dynamics has kept fans engaged for 14 seasons, making it a fan-favorite with strong ratings.

Blue Bloods has had many examples of outstanding drama over the fourteen years it has been on the air. Many episodes of the Tom Selleck-led cop and family drama appeal to large audiences because of its emphasis on the Reagan family. Its focus on a family of cops explains why this series' popularity has endured for years, leading to a massive fan movement to save Blue Bloods after CBS announced its cancelation in early 2024.

Unfortunately, CBS upheld its original decision to cancel the series.

Jamie Lee Curtis played a key role in getting Freaky Friday 2 greenlit. Freaky Friday 2 faces challenges, like a potentially repetitive story and nostalgia trap. The sequel will feature a double body swap, adding an exciting new twist to the storyline.

Jamie Lee Curtis shared the process of getting Freaky Friday 2 greenlit, and it only made me more excited about this sequel. The film industry is still going through a wave of reboots and legacy sequels, and many studios have seized the latter to bring back to life worlds and franchises that are still pretty popular. Disney has already been part of these trends for a while now, and among its latest and most exciting projects is Freaky Friday 2, the long-awaited sequel to Mark Waters 2003 teen comedy Freaky Friday.

Freaky Friday 2 is being directed by Nisha Ganatra and brings Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis back,...

[This episode contains spoilers from season four, episode seven of The Boys.]

The penultimate episode of The Boys season four could be seen as a coming out for some of the key characters. Viewers finally saw A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) reveal himself to the Seven to be the supe traitor they’ve all been searching for. And Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) admitted to the majority of the Boys vigilante group that he’s holding a Vought scientist against his will in an effort to create a supe-killing virus that can probably kill their archenemy Homelander (Antony Starr), and maybe all supes.

But the biggest coming out party in the episode was for longtime Seven member and martial arts assassin Black Noir, played by Nathan Mitchell. This is actually Black Noir II — not to be confused with the original Black Noir in the first three seasons of The Boys. (And yes, that original Noir was also portrayed by Mitchell.) The new...

Dice inject randomness into board games, but alternative mechanics like cards, deckbuilding, and tile placement offer strategic gameplay. Games like Dune: Imperium, Azul, and Wyrmspan provide diverse mechanics without the need to roll dice every turn. Board games like Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, and Scythe offer engaging gameplay without dice, focusing on strategy.

Whether it's Monopoly, Catan, or Risk, dice have become an integral part of the standard board game formula - but they don't have to be. Dice inject a degree of randomness where it's not always needed. They can ruin a perfectly good strategy, or jeopardize a win that should've been secure. Most board games today live or die by a roll of the dice, and a single bad roll can frustrate an hour's worth of calculated gameplay.

Thankfully, there are now plenty of great board games without dice. The following ten games use cards, tiles, or other...

The Expanse TV series is praised for its well-developed plot, interesting characters, and political commentary. The show adapts James S. A. Corey's book series, staying faithful to the source material while making some changes. Despite not adapting the final three books, the series ended in a natural and complete way, and it won't impact the viewing experience for fans of the show.

The hit TV show The Expanse first began as a nine-book series by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck; however, it didn't adapt every book. Both the books and TV series follow humanity two hundred years into the future decades after humans have colonized the solar system. Mars, Earth, and the Asteroid Belt are on the brink of war, and crew members of The Rocinante must come together to solve the case of a missing woman. As a result, the...

13 years later, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia brought back another of Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson's children. Seasons of the show traditionally enjoy an impressive revolving door of guest stars, whether it's Sean William Scott as Country Mac or Jason Sudeikis as Schmitty, with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 16 being no different. However, the series doesn't rely solely on big celebrity guest stars when it comes to cameos.

On occasion, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia makes use of people with personal connections to the cast and crew. One example of this is Danny DeVito's daughter, Chloe Chet DeVito, who appeared in two episodes. McElhenney and Olson, who married in 2008, have also found room for their own relatives in the show.

The following contains spoilers for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 16, Episode 6, "Risk E. Rat's Pizza and Amusement Center," which is streaming now on Hulu.

For its entire run on TV, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has always worked to take a satirical look at the issues facing the world and has often seemed to take a side within the "culture war." Season 16, Episode 6, "Risk E. Rat's Pizza and Amusement Center," brings this war to the forefront as the Gang goes to a Chuck E. Cheese-type place and faces the cold fact that they can never relieve their childhoods. The world has changed, but the Gang has stayed the same and feels like their way is the best way.

This is not the first time that the Gang has taken on modern politics. It's Always Sunny has never shied away from facing issues head-on, from the Gang taking on...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 16, episode 6!Risk E. Rat's Pizza and Amusement Center is a restaurant line introduced in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 16, but is the creepy animatronic franchise actually real? The pizza restaurant is undoubtedly similar to many other real-life restaurants, with the gang's misadventures showing off the location in pretty great detail. However, the Risk E. Rat's Pizza name is pretty obscure, causing many to wonder if the franchise actually exists.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 16, episode 6 sees Charlie, Mac, Dee, Dennis, and Frank return to one of the restaurants that defined their childhood: Risk E. Rat's Pizza and Amusement Center. However, it isn't quite as they remember. Risk E. Rat's has significantly changed from when the gang visited it in the 1980s (and Frank in the 1950s). Much of the dangerous and more problematic material has been removed, with...

The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 2, "Ad Astra per Aspera," now streaming on Paramount+.

Strange New Worlds made its viewers wait until the second episode of Season 2 to resolve the cliffhanger ending from the previous finale. Una Chin-Riley, Number One to Star Trek fans, was arrested for lying about being a genetically modified Illyrian. Yet, Una's court-martial is a classic Star Trek allegory for the recent legislative push to limit civil rights, especially where healthcare and Lgbtqia folks are concerned.

Because outrage makes for virality, even a series as classically "woke" as Star Trek faces criticism for including diversity, specifically Lgbtqia representation. However, "Ad Astra per Aspera" is the kind of clever allegory on a modern moral issue that The Original Series became famous for. Una Chin-Riley is on trial for lying about being Illyrian because her people have a deep cultural tie to genetic modification.

"That was cool, yeah, that was the highlight of my life," Hemsworth told Entertainment Tonight at the Netflix Tadum event in Sao Paulo. "I saw him in the gym, and I was like, 'Oh my god! That's Arnold [Schwarzenegger]!' And the heart rate goes up a bit; there's nervous trepidation. 'He's like, Chris! Oh, hey, how are ya?' And we had a chat. He's wonderful."

Ubisoft recently revealed Star Wars Outlaws, featuring its new protagonist Kay Vess who could just solve a problem that has been plaguing Star Wars games for some time. While Star Wars has long been a franchise with compelling female characters at its core, that has not been the case for its games. While there have been games that allowed players to customize their character's gender, almost all the Star Wars games with a fixed protagonist have featured men.

Taking place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Outlaws will follow cunning young scoundrel Kay Vess as she seeks to pull off jobs within the criminal underworld. Aiming for a 2024 release date, Star Wars Outlaws will see Kay joined by a cute Merqaal companion called Nix and a former Separatist commando droid Nd-5. Steering the action away from Jedi and the Force feels like a breath...

The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 1, "The Broken Circle," now streaming on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns for Season 2, continuing to follow Captain Christopher Pike and his Enterprise crew as they face the wonders and perils of the cosmic unknown. The first season left the crew at a crossroads, with two of its senior staff moved elsewhere -- either by choice or consequence -- while the threat of the reptilian Gorn reared its ugly head. With even more uncertainty mounting as Season 2 begins, it falls on the Enterprise to help defend Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets from sinister machinations throughout the galaxy.

With Una Chin-Riley facing charges for lying about the banned genetic alterations common in her species, she also faces serious repercussions from Starfleet. Pike decides to personally intervene on her behalf, taking three days’ leave and placing Spock in command during his absence.

​​​​​Star Wars Outlaws may be bringing back a long-lost game character. A new cinematic trailer revealed Massive Entertainment's open-world Star Wars and offered players an insight into its main characters and story, and fans believe they have seen a character from a 90s series of Star Wars games.

Star Wars Outlaws' story follows a roguish scoundrel Kay Vess as she embarks on a daring heist to earn her freedom. As is evident by the appearance of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, the story takes place sometime between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and may feature cameos from many prominent figures from that era of Star Wars, particularly those involved in the Outer Rim's criminal underworld.

The ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike casts a cloud over what otherwise promises to be a solid Cannes film market. Most buyers and sellers came out of Berlin this year “cautiously optimistic” as the (partial) resurgence of the theatrical market alongside a slowly but steadily growing digital ancillary business offers reason to believe reports of the death of the indie industry — widespread in the wake of the Covid theater shutdowns — have been greatly exaggerated.

“I see the investment by Amazon and Apple TV in the theatrical business as a real positive,” says David Garrett of Mister Smith Entertainment, “because it shows they recognize the real value of the theatrical experience.” Amazon’s success with Ben Affleck’s sports-marketing biopic Air, which grossed upwards of $80 million worldwide in theaters before going out online, bodes well for the upcoming rollout of Apple’s Cannes title Killers of the Flower Moon from Martin Scorsese,...
