The film version of John Krasinski’s Jack Ryan is shaping up. It was reported late last year that Sienna Miller will star alongside the former star of The Office in the upcoming film adaptation, which is in development at Amazon MGM Studios. Now, Deadline is reporting that four more actors have joined the Tom Clancy-inspired thriller.

Max Beesley, Douglas Hodge, JJ Feild and Betty Gabriel have all joined Jack Ryan along with Miller. Gabriel is also a former cast member who appeared in the third and fourth seasons of the series. Amazon will be producing in association with Paramount Pictures and Skydance. Additionally, Krasinski and Allyson Seeger are producing via their Sunday Night production, and Andrew Form is also on board this project as a producer.

Douglas Hodge and Betty Gabriel are among the recruits for the new Jack Ryan film, starring John Krasinski. More here.

The cast of the new Jack Ryan movie is beginning to expand, with filming presumably now not too far away.

John Krasinski follows Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine by playing Ryan on the big screen. In his case, he’s had a fair amount of practice too, having played Ryan on the hit television series, that’s cunningly entitled Jack Ryan.

It may well be that the new film, which is being backed by Amazon MGM, will also go by that name as well. It’s been known for a while that John Krasinski, Sienna Miller, Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly are in the ensemble.

Now, some further additions have also been announced. Betty Gabriel, JJ Feild, Max Beesley and Douglas Hodge are signing on the dotted line.

If you're looking for a high-concept, mysterious sci-fi show in the vein of "Under the Dome," "From," or "Manifest," Stephen King has a recommendation for you. The master of horror has always loved sharing recommendations for spooky genre offerings on social media, and this week he took to Threads (he left the cesspool formerly known as Twitter in November) to highlight the UK-made series "The Midwich Cuckoos."

"The Midwich Cuckoos (Amazon): Surprised there hasn't been more talk about this," King recently posted on Threads. "It's a brilliant re-imagining of John Wyndham's classic sci-fi/horror novel." The title of one of Wyndam's best-known novels may not sound familiar to you, but the name of its earlier film adaptation might: "The Midwich Cuckoos" became "Village of the Damned" when Wolf Rilla adapted it in 1960. That version of the story is considered an all-time-great horror movie, alternately dubbed as an "excellent...

Stephen King praises a sci-fi adaptation of a classic sci-fi horror, which flew under the radar when it was first released. As the year comes to a close, the seminal author has shared some of his TV favorites. They've varied from the Jamie Dornan crime thriller The Tourist to the short-lived Apple TV+ series Constellation. But several of his recommendations tended to have one thing in common.

Whether it was the straightforward horrors of shows like Evil or Teacup or the more subdued unease of a drama like the Billy Crystal-led Before, several of King's TV notables tend to revolve around unsettling situations that would not seem at all out of place in some of his most famous novels. The author's latest recommendation follows along those lines.

Suits star Sarah Rafferty would love for her former co-star, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, to join the show’s rewatch podcast, which she co-hosts with Patrick J. Adams.

“Everybody’s invited, and everybody has been so supportive,” Rafferty told Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview when asked if Markle would be asked to appear as a guest on SiriusXM’s Sidebar.

She continued, “It’s amazing. I’ve just been texting one of our directors, Mike Smith.

VFX artists tear apart scenes from Torque, an infamous Fast & Furious motorcycle ripoff. Directed by Joseph Kahn, Torque tells the story of Ford (Martin Henderson), a biker who returns from Thailand to find himself the target of two dangerous street gangs. The film, which was written by Matt Johnson and also stars Ice Cube, Monet Mazur, Dane Cook, and Max Beesley, came out three years after The Fast and the Furious (2001), and was clearly heavily inspired by the film in terms of its characters, storylines, and over-the-top action sequences.

In a recent episode of their "VFX Artists React" YouTube series, the VFX artists at Corridor Crew analyze scenes from Torque, forgoing a lot of their more technical analysis to instead poke fun at the sheer ridiculousness of the film's various action scenes. They draw attention to the movie's very obvious product integration with the framing for Pepsi and Mountain Dew advertisements,...

Get ready for another go-around with the Guy Ritchie series, The Gentlemen. Variety has reported that the Netflix series has been renewed for season 2. In his review for season one, our own Alex Maidy said, “The Gentlemen series feels like a reimagining of the film. The story hits some vaguely similar notes but the vast majority is completely different. […] This is a unique reimagining of a successful story that takes it in a different direction and sets up future seasons.”

Netflix U.K.’s VP spoke ecstatically about the show’s successful first season, “With its gun-toting chickens and drug-dealing Dukes, The Gentlemen was a huge hit with audiences in 2024. Not really a surprise as Guy Ritchie remains one of the industry’s most iconic creators telling authentically British stories with his signature swagger, grit and wit. We are thrilled the series will be returning to Netflix for a second season,...

Hijack season 2 is in production, with Idris Elba leading again alongside new stars Toby Jones, Lisa Vicari, and Christiane Paul. The storyline for season 2 remains a mystery, likely exploring many returning characters and unresolved conflicts. With an expanded cast, season 2 promises more unpredictability and a wider scope, keeping audiences on their toes.

Hijack has cast three major stars, the Idris Elba-led thriller series beginning production on season 2 in the process. Season 1 of the thriller series followed Elba's Sam Nelson, a business negotiator who becomes a key figure in negotiating with hijackers on an airplane from Dubai to London. Hijack season 1 ended with the plane safely landing, after which Sam and the lead hijacker, Stuart, have a final confrontation leading to the latter's arrest. However, there are still plenty of unanswered questions about the group that orchestrated the attack in the first place.

Now, Deadline has confirmed three major stars...

“Guy has an incredibly lively mind,” says “The Gentlemen” editor Matt Platts-Mills about the show’s creator, Guy Ritchie. “He won’t rest until he’s absolutely sure that he’s hit everything that’s possible with the scene, and that’s across everything. And he kind of develops ideas as he watches it. It’s kind of a ride in itself.” Watch our video interview above.

Platts-Mills edited three episodes of the Netflix comedy series: “An Unsympathetic Gentleman,” “All Eventualities” and the season finale, “The Gospel According to Bobby Glass.” The eight-episode thrill-ride stars Theo James as Edward Horniman, who has unexpectedly inherited an estate of 15,000 acres and the title of Duke of Halstead from his deceased father. Unbeknownst to Horniman, it’s also home to a massive weed empire.

Idris Elba revealed filming for Hijack season 2 is starting in June, with production wrapping by the end of the year. Despite the show initially looking like a miniseries, Hijack season 2 was confirmed 5 months after season 1, with Elba returning as a star and executive producer. This filming timeline suggests Hijack could return in late 2025.

Hijack star Idris Elba reveals the filming start month for season 2 of the Apple TV+ show.

When Guy Ritchie’s crime comedy series The Gentlemen debuted on Netflix in March, it came in at #1 Global Top 10 for English-Language Series, garnering 1.2B minutes viewed in its first four days on the platform, according to Nielsen. That being said, will there be a Season 2?

“It wasn’t genuinely discussed,” star Theo James admitted today, in an appearance at Deadline’s Contenders TV. “I think it would be a wrangling process with all of us and Guy. But also, I think with a show like this, if you’re going to do more, you need to come up with a really interesting conceit for Season 2. Because as much as we enjoyed it and as fun as it was, it needs narrative drive.”

If an interesting idea is put forward, he said, then maybe another installment is in the cards. “But I think before that,” James added, “there needs to be discussions,...

Apple TV+ has renewed the thriller series Hijack for a second season. Idris Elba has been confirmed to return, both onscreen as Sam Nelson and offscreen as an executive producer. Details about the plot of Hijack season 2 are still unknown, but Elba promises high octane action.

Hijack is returning to Apple TV+. The thriller show starred Idris Elba as Sam Nelson, a business negotiator who finds himself in a much more high-stakes situation when his flight from Dubai to London is hijacked. Created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith and co-starring Neil Maskell, Eve Myles, Christine Adams, Max Beesley, Archie Panjabi, Ben Miles, and Kate Phillips, Hijack became the second-ever show from the Apple platform to appear in the Nielsen streaming Top 10 after their hit comedy Ted Lasso.

Apple TV+ has announced that they have renewed Hijack season 2. This news comes nearly half a year after the debut of the season 1 finale,...

Will Idris Elba get stuck on another fateful plane ride?

The gritty details aren’t available just yet but Apple TV+ has given the go-ahead for a second season of Hijack from George Kay and Jim Field Smith.

The first season of Hijack became one of the top dramas on the streamer by landing on the Nielsen Streaming Originals Top 10 list. Elba starred alongside the likes of Archie Panjabi, The Crown’s Ben Miles and Max Beesley as Sam Nelson, an accomplished business negotiator forced to use his guile to save the lives of passengers onboard a hijacked plane making its way to London.

The second season of Hijack will be executive produced by Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films, alongside executive producers Kay and Field Smith’s own production company Idiotlamp Productions. Field Smith also serves as lead director for the series.

It’s a good day for fans of Idris Elba’s nail-biting limited series “Hijack.”

Apple TV+ has confirmed that Elba is set to return as negotiator Sam Nelson in a second season of the high-octane drama, which quickly became one of the streamer’s top shows when it dropped last year.

Told almost in real-time, the series follows Nelson on a seven-hour plane ride from Dubai to London which is hijacked by terrorists. A seasoned negotiator, Nelson quickly steps in to try and diffuse the situation before anyone gets killed – but soon realizes there is more to the hijackers’ plot than first seems. Archie Panjabi, Christine Adams, Max Beesley and Ben Miles also starred.

“I was floored by the overwhelming audience response after Season 1,” Elba said. “It’s top secret what new situation unfolds for Sam Nelson, but I can assure you we will bring the high octane back!

Just four years after the movie hit theaters, Netflix has turned Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen" into a TV show. The above teaser trailer for the series offers proof of that, introducing a drug empire, a cast of criminals, and some vintage Ritchie shenanigans.

The teaser admittedly doesn't dive too deeply into the story, but it does do a great job of capturing the vibe. It's all set to the tune of "Time of the Season" by The Zombies, with some welcome narration by Giancarlo Esposito, of "Breaking Bad" and "The Boys" fame. Esposito is just one part of a pretty well-stacked ensemble led by Theo James ("The White Lotus"). Blood, boxing, and quips, this has all of the hallmarks of a classic Guy Ritchie production. It certainly has a similar feeling to the 2020 movie, but it also feels designed to satisfy "Snatch" fans. The official synopsis for the show...
