Brendan Fraser’s Inkheart Is Finally Ready for a Sequel

Despite a stellar cast including Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany, and Helen Mirren, the 2009 film adaptation of Inkheart wasn’t a success with critics or audiences.

Maybe Netflix Will Be Good for HBO

As a huge fan, I’m cautiously optimistic about this deal. Even though the company has a ton of money, it’s still a long way from being finalized. They need approval from regulators in the US and Europe, and there’s a real chance David Ellison and Paramount might try to block it altogether. Honestly, someone at Warner Bros. Discovery told me on Friday they think there’s only a 50/50 chance it actually goes through! And even if it does get approved, it could take a year and a half, or even longer, to actually happen. It’s definitely not a done deal yet.

George Clooney’s Awkward Little Run Is the Best Part of Jay Kelly

Many actors convincingly portray running on screen. Tom Cruise is the most famous example – his distinctive running form, with bent elbows and knees, is a key part of the successful Mission: Impossible films. Teyana Taylor’s impressive run in One Battle After Another was even highlighted in the movie’s promotion, with some claiming she surpassed Cruise. Other memorable cinematic runs include Tom Hanks’ effortless jog in Forrest Gump, Peter Strauss’ determined laps in The Jericho Mile, and Franka Potente’s desperate sprint in Run Lola Run. These actors all appear to have a natural athleticism and stamina, seemingly without any physical limitations.

Every Noah Baumbach Movie, Ranked

Noah Baumbach almost didn’t have a career after a rocky start. His first two films, Kicking and Screaming and Mr. Jealousy, didn’t initially impress critics or audiences—though they’ve since gained recognition. He even released a small, low-key comedy called Highball under a different name. This led to eight years of creative struggle before he came back with The Squid and the Whale in 2005. While his early work showed promise and a love for classic comedies, it was The Squid and the Whale that truly defined his style. He began using personal, often difficult, experiences to create comedies that are both sharp and surprisingly tender.
