This TV movie is based on a Louis L’Amour story about two brothers who end up fighting for different sides during the Civil War. They come together again when their family is kidnapped. Starring Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott, with Katharine Ross, Ben Johnson, and Geoffrey Lewis, the film was directed by Andrew V. McLaglen. It features classic Western actors and was filmed on location in Texas and along the coast. Made for television, it’s a fast-paced story with plenty of cavalry action and a focus on family.

Despite featuring a huge cast of well-known actors – including Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hiddleston, Florence Pugh, and Anthony Mackie – the film is still facing challenges.

The final decision came down to a showdown between Wind River (2017) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Andrew Niccol wrote and directed this film, which marks his first feature-length project. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman lead the cast, supported by Jude Law, Loren Dean, Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, and Alan Arkin.

Jeremy Renner, known for his role as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, discussed his work on a recent episode of The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast. He was promoting the latest season of his Paramount+ series, Mayor of Kingstown, when he appeared.

In 2008, an audio recording surfaced from the set of ‘Terminator Salvation’ featuring Christian Bale angrily confronting a crew member. The recording quickly went viral and led to widespread discussion about behavior on film sets. Bale later issued an apology, explaining the stressful environment of the shoot. The incident is still frequently cited as a notable example of a heated outburst on a modern movie set.

Keira Knightley has expressed concerns about social media, calling it “terrifying” and “unregulated.” She and her family have a rule against using social media, and her children aren’t allowed to use devices unless she can supervise what they’re doing online.

In a recent interview with Screen Daily, the actor shared three films that have had a lasting impact on him: Dead Man, The Libertine, and Withnail & I.

I just finished watching this incredible action thriller, and let me tell you, it’s a ride! It follows a mercenary—Chris Hemsworth, naturally—who has to go into a city on lockdown to rescue a kidnapped kid. What makes it really cool is how the action unfolds—these long, unbroken shots of fights through apartments, markets, and across bridges are just breathtaking. But it’s not just explosions; the story gets into the messy relationships between the people pulling the strings—the criminals, the cops, everyone’s got their own agenda. And the setting, Dhaka, is practically a character itself. Those narrow streets and rivers make every attempt to escape feel impossible. Seriously, it’s a tense and gripping film!
