Los Angeles D.A. Opposes Menendez Brothers’ Bid for New Trial, Citing ‘Lies and Deceit’

At a news conference, Hochman stated that fresh claims of sexual abuse should not influence the verdicts for murder against the brothers, who were convicted in 1989 of killing their parents, Jose and Kitty. Additionally, he pointed out that the brothers provided inconsistent accounts regarding the murders and coerced their friends to support them by testifying untruthfully in court.

‘The Apprentice’ Director Ali Abbasi Dropped by CAA, Management 360 Following Groping Accusation

It’s been verified by EbMaster that the director of “The Apprentice” is no longer represented by CAA and Management 360, following incidents that occurred post-Golden Globes this year.

Inside Osgood Perkins’ Gory Vision: Blood, Guts, and a Touch of Humor in ‘The Monkey’

Perkins is upfront about his own relationship with death; his father, “Psycho” star Anthony Perkins, died from an AIDS-related illness when Osgood was young. And his mother, actor Berry Berenson, died when she was a passenger on one of the flights involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. It’s given Perkins a perspective – and humor – that is evident in his film. “I’m certainly writing from an autobiographical place, given that I sustained some pretty insane kind of deaths in my life,” he admits. “I think that if I had written this movie when I was 29, it would have been pretty sad. But now that I’m 51, it’s a pretty funny movie. Time changes everything, it breaks it all down like a silt in a riverbed. If I was going to give a movie about death to an audience, I wasn’t going to hand them a bummer – I was going to hand a delight, an opportunity to shake it off and have a smile.”Perkins began his career as an actor, playing a young Norman Bates in “Psycho II”; he’s  perhaps best remembered as the awkward law student David in “Legally Blonde.” He does appear in a cameo in “The Monkey” as the weird uncle who takes in the twins after their parents’ deaths even though, by his own account, “I’m kind of a shitty actor.” (Those who have caught his clever promotional videos for “The Monkey” may disagree.) He pivoted into filmmaking with his 2015 debut “The Blackcoat’s Daughter,” carving out an admirable niche for himself in the horror genre with films like “I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House.” But it was 2024’s “Longlegs,” the indie thriller starring Nicolas Cage as an unsubtle serial killer taunting FBI agent Maika Monroe that made Hollywood take notice, grossing over $125 million worldwide on a $9 million budget.It was unexpected to the director, who felt he was making a very specific movie for people like himself. “The success of ‘Longlegs’ was a shock. It’s an offbeat movie and the demographic is for weird people,” he notes, largely crediting distributor Neon, which is releasing his latest film. “They were able to position it in a way that was like a work of art. I say it to them all the time: ‘I made the movie. You guys made the movie a hit.’ I don’t know how that shit happens, but for some reason it crossed over.”
What does that mean for the auteur’s career? “It’s changed everything and nothing,” he says. “It’s given me confidence, but it’s not like I’m going to run off and make a video game movie or an X-Men movie. I don’t think anybody wants that.” So what can people expect going forward from Perkins? “You can probably just expect more of the same from me, but just made better.”

Martin Campbell Reveals Secrets Behind ‘Cleaner’ and His Iconic Bond Legacy!

Campbell’s latest film, “Cleaner,” leverages his considerable experience as a purveyor of thrills. In it, Daisy Ridley plays a former soldier-turned-window washer enlisted to defeat a radical eco-terrorist group that takes over an energy company’s corporate headquarters after discovering that her disabled brother is among their hostages. Despite bristling at comparisons of the film to “Die Hard,” Campbell delivers a literal high-wire act of suspense that required Ridley to perform a majority of her own bone-crunching stunts even as he most heavily leaned on her acting muscles to create a desperate, vivid (if foul-mouthed) portrait of heroism under hard circumstances.

He’s Just Seeking Hollywood Fame!

Regarding Gaetz, Ritchson expressed his sentiment to GQ as follows: ‘That individual is not my ally; we are opponents.’ It’s astonishing to me that the Florida panhandle still supports someone like him, given all the information available about him and the private commitments he has made concerning pardoning certain lawbreakers. Simply put, he’s not a fine person.

‘The Quiz With Balls’ Renewed for Season 2 at Fox

In every episode of this show, two families face off, answering a series of trivia questions that come with multiple choices. The ultimate goal is to win $100,000. The players stand near a pool of water, while massive balls hang ominously overhead.
