During an episode of his podcast, Video Archives, which he co-hosts with Roger Avary, Quentin Tarantino highlighted a performance he believes is one of the best ever. He was referring to George C. Scott’s work in the 1971 dark comedy The Hospital. Tarantino remembered being completely amazed by Scott, to the point where he and Avary both wondered if it was the greatest performance they’d ever seen.
The director and actor Timothée Chalamet recently held a live question-and-answer session, during which they discussed the ambitious scope of the director’s upcoming film and the difficulties of bringing it to life.
By the early 1980s, Meryl Streep was working on bigger, more important films, but she was still incredibly self-critical. During the filming of The French Lieutenant’s Woman, she found it challenging to play a character who was also an actress in a historical story.
Even though she won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for that performance, she later told Graham Norton she didn’t feel fully immersed in the role. Streep felt disconnected from the character and the story, and she always wished she could revisit and improve her work.
She explained that it’s natural to want to do better after a project is finished, demonstrating that even someone who has won three Academy Awards experiences professional regret. This drive for perfection ultimately influenced her approach when she took on the role of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.
The altercation was captured on video and shared on social media, including TMZ.
Mamoru Hosoda’s upcoming animated film, a medieval fantasy, will hit theaters on February 6, 2026. Starring Mana Ashida and Masaki Okada, the movie centers on a princess who can control time and wields a sword. Following her father’s death, she sets out on a dangerous journey for revenge, all while dealing with her own sadness. The story delves into themes of loss and finding hope amidst magical obstacles.
The character’s voice and behavior were inspired by musicians like Sid Vicious and Tom Waits. But the on-screen energy really escalated when Heath Ledger acted opposite Christian Bale as Batman. Bale had spent months getting into incredible physical shape and was a skilled fighter, and Ledger intentionally used that to fuel his performance.
Kristen Stewart became a major figure in independent film thanks to her critically praised role in ‘Clouds of Sils Maria’. She even won a César Award for it – a first for an American actress. She continued to succeed with independent films like the supernatural drama ‘Personal Shopper’, directed by Olivier Assayas. Stewart consistently chooses smaller, less mainstream projects, including the dramas ‘Certain Women’ and ‘Love Lies Bleeding’. She’s known for gravitating towards unusual stories and deeply developed characters.
I’ve noticed how much health and strength have become central to her work, especially in her new movie. In Coutures, she plays a director facing a cancer diagnosis, and she’s said it really made her think about her own life. But she also told Variety that working on such a difficult story was actually really therapeutic for her. She found a lot of support and comfort in the open and honest conversations she had with everyone involved in the film, and that shared vulnerability helped her through it.
The new mystery series centers around a main character who suddenly finds themselves in a completely unfamiliar life, with a family they have no recollection of. As they try to understand this strange new world where everyone knows them but they don’t know anyone, hidden truths about their past start to emerge. The first season is full of suspenseful episodes that explore questions of identity and memory, and keep viewers guessing about what’s real. People are drawn to the show’s fast-paced plot and the central mystery of how the main character ended up in this unknown situation.
Carrie Fisher later returned to play her iconic role in the newer Star Wars films, with The Force Awakens being the last one she filmed. Even as other big franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe became popular, Star Wars continued to be the benchmark for blockbuster movies. However, despite the series’ huge success, Fisher privately struggled with the level of fame it brought her, and later said she probably wouldn’t have taken the part if she’d known how famous it would make her.
