Taylor Sheridan’s decision to transform from an actor to a screenwriter has brought him considerable success. The screenwriter saw huge success with his first effort Sicario, which was nominated for the WGA Award for Best Original Screenplay. The Yellowstone creator received more acclaim for his follow-up effort Hell or High Water, which was nominated for multiple Oscars.
Sheridan reportedly spent some time trying to get the right team of creatives to work on Hell or High Water. The neo-Western starring Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine follows the story of two robbers, who are being pursued by the Texas Rangers. Regardless, Sheridan mentioned that he found Scottish director David Mackenzie by a stroke of luck.

In 2001, actress Karishma Tanna made her acting debut with a TV show, however, she feels that it was after her work in the 2023 release series ‘Scoop’, when people started to take her more seriously as an actor.
“Before ‘Scoop’, people knew me because I was and am in this industry for a long long time but with ‘Scoop’, I got that acting validation, people take me more seriously when it comes to the acting business. So, that’s a good shift in people’s perception. So, I am liking this new phase,” Karishma told Ians on the sidelines of Lfw x Fdci.
The actress was at the event to support the “dreams” and “passion” of aspiring designers.
Asked if she got that “support”, when she was trying to make it in the industry, Karishma said: “No, I had no support because I don’t come from this industry. I had no connections.

A grieving kid with cosmic radiation flowing through his veins and an unhinged celestial being sounds like the kind of problem you’d call in the Avengers for. But the group that MCU’s gotten you familiar with—the ones who never retreat without ensuring the enemy has fallen—is sort of different here. The second episode of What If season 2 pulls an adolescent Peter Quill to safety before he’s fully corrupted by the extraterrestrial half of his lineage. You might want to brush up on your knowledge of the lesser-known, mostly forgotten Marvel superheroes if you really want to make the most of the experience this episode has in store for you.

At the start of Cold Blows the Wind, Dean and Tasha look in the trunk of their car and are surprised to find a badly injured man. They’re surprised not because he’s there, but because they thought they killed him when Tasha hit him while driving drunk. Realising he isn’t dead Tasha wants to get him to a hospital while Dean is worried once what happens gets out they’ll go to jail. To avoid that he takes the only logical course of action and stabs the man to death. Tasha reluctantly helps him bury the body.
Writer/director Eric Williford and cinematographer Marc Martinez give us a striking burial scene full of moonlight and mist as the couple squabble while digging the grave. And as they do, someone is watching them,...

Juno Temple as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon and Sienna King as Scotty Lyon in ‘Fargo’ season 5 episode 1 (Photo Credit: Michelle Faye/FX)
It’s not truly a new season of FX’s Fargo until the fake disclaimer advising this is a true story appears on the screen. That happens three minutes into season five episode one, “The Tragedy of the Commons.”
Before that, Fargo fans are advised that “Minnesota Nice” is an aggressively pleasant demeanor put on no matter how rotten life becomes. And “rotten” is a gentle word to describe the mood at the middle school’s Fall Festival Planning Committee meeting. Punches are thrown, hair is pulled, and the woman we’ll be cheering for this season – Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon (Juno Temple) – sits, jaw-dropped, scanning the room. She advises her daughter, Scotty (Sienna King), that it’s time to make an exit and to fight back if anyone chases them.

They instructed her no one must turn their back to the king, but she did so anyway. They warned that she was not to look Louis Xv directly in the eyes, lest others take it as “an invitation,” but she ignored Versailles’ advisers on this point as well, defiantly meeting the king’s gaze.
Jeanne Bécu was not the type of woman to do as she was told. In this respect, divisive French actor-director Maïwenn can relate, casting herself as the courtesan-turned-comtess in “Jeanne du Barry,” a sensitive and surprisingly low-key portrait of the French monarch’s last mistress. That Maïwenn saw fit to engage tabloid-embattled Johnny Depp as “her king” is just one of the many hurdles she set for herself — but then, no one embarks on such a project with the intention of pleasing her critics.

Austria, Aug 20 (Ians) A run of DNFs for Marc Marquez was finally brought to an end as he crossed the line for the Austrian Grand Prix in 12th, Joan Mir’s luck deserting him as he suffered another Dnf.
Clear skies and a blazing sun continued to rule over the Red Bull Ring as Sunday’s action at the 4.32-kilometer-long track began. With just ten quick minutes of Warm Up to start the day, attention rapidly switched to the 28-lap Grand Prix. As the lights went out, the MotoGP grid was able to avoid any serious incident into and through Turn 1 as happened in the Sprint.
Marc Marquez was able to maintain his position throughout the opening lap and began to challenge those ahead for points. The only rider running the soft rear, Marquez was able to consistently gain ground on those in front and joined the battle for the top ten before too long.

Animayo, Spain’s leading animation festival, is celebrating its 18th edition with the help of Disney legend Andreas Deja who will be presenting his independently-produced short, “Mushka.” “Having Deja choose Animayo to debut his film in Spain is the greatest honor,” said Damian Perea, founder-director of the festival, which unspools May 3-6 on the island of Gran Canaria.
A hand-drawn 2D animated story about an unlikely friendship between a young girl and a Siberian tiger in 1970s’ Soviet Union, “Mushka” is Deja’s directorial debut. His lauded Walt Disney Animation Studio credits include “The Lion King,” “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

In the early days of the Academy’s animated feature Oscar, there were questions as to whether enough films would qualify each year for the award to be given. Not anymore! This year sees a record number of contenders across a wide variety of genres, styles and audiences, from serious, adult-targeted films (like “Charlotte” and “Eternal Spring”) to boffo offerings from Hollywood’s top toon studios — and that doesn’t even count such anime franchise sensations as “One Piece Film: Red” and “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” which didn’t submit but further illustrate the vitality of the form.

While saltier reality shows including Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise and HBO Max’s “FBoy Island” are still very much a thing — and very popular — there has also been a bumper crop of “nice” reality programming infiltrating the arena.
And, it turns out, Television Academy voters are fans. A look at the reality categories in this year’s Emmys race include Netflix’s A-for-effort baking competition series “Nailed It!,” the long-running, pride-focused VH1 series “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and both NBC’s mentorship musician series “The Voice” and its goofysweet crafts program “Making It.” Even the vibe of perennial Emmy nominee, Bravo’s “Top Chef,” comes with a message of respect for the artistry of cooking.
“Our brand is to do aspirational programming,” says Jo Sharon who, with Casey Kriley, is the co-ceo of production company Magical Elves and an exec producer on “Nailed It!” and “Top Chef.” “Across the board,...
