Based on the memories of one of its co-directors and his unit, this film is designed to feel as relentless and immersive — and horrific — as being in combat.
The latest movie from 'Happy Death Day' filmmaker Christopher Landon aims to mix a modern Hitchcock feel with 90s thrillers — and that was part of the appeal for its two stars.
"There couldn't be a better opportunity to come home," Jacob Elordi told us about leading this page-to-screen miniseries, which adds a new great to the Aussie TV canon.
What it takes to endure in dystopian times sits at the heart of HBO's smash-hit series — for audiences, and for both its returning and new stars.
For his feature directorial debut, this filmmaker ran with a concept that just popped into his head — and he also enlisted Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni and Richard E Grant to help.
GoFundMe CEO Tim Cadogan, former foreign correspondent Peter Greste, Girls That Invest founder Simran Kaur, 'Crazy Rich Asians' actor Remy Hii and Dr Karl are among the initial names.
