Elizabeth Holmes’ doc You Can See Everything’s most shocking moments: From full-frontal nudity to Charlie Kirk Original
This article contains spoilers about You Can See Everything. There’s no easy way to describe You Can See Everything. Even Nathan Fielder, who co-directed the three-hour documentary about his month living with Elizabeth Holmes before her 11-year prison sentence began, can’t quite wrap his head around it. “I still am not sure to this day what I experienced, and it’s one of the reasons I’m excited for it to come out and more people see it,” he said at an early screening.

How Wicker’s special effects team turned Alexander Skarsgård into a sexy man-basket Original
How do you make a sexy basket?

If he got the chance, though, The Social Reckoning writer-director tells Entertainment Weekly there’s one thing in particular he’d like to ask. “I wonder what motivates him at this point,” he says. “Because, you know, there’s nothing you can buy with $120 billion that you can’t buy with $119 billion.
Aaron Sorkin pulls back the curtain on Jeremy Strong’s Method acting: ‘It’s the only way he knows’ Original
How far does Jeremy Strong’s Method acting really go? The Succession star is famous for staying in character throughout production on his projects, and it’s not uncommon for his costars and directors to feel like they didn’t get to meet the real Jeremy until after the shoot wraps. Aaron Sorkin had a similar experience directing Strong in his upcoming film The Social Reckoning, in which the actor plays Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Aaron Sorkin says money was a ‘disincentive’ for Jesse Eisenberg to return as Mark Zuckerberg: ‘It’s infuriating’ Original

Mahershala Ali says Blade taught him to focus on movies ‘that don’t feel like reissues of things’ Original

That’s how long the two-time Oscar winner was attached to star in Marvel’s revamped Blade, as the heir apparent to the vampire hunter originated by Wesley Snipes. Ali still doesn’t know why the movie never materialized, and has been vocal about his disappointment. But there is at least one significant silver lining in the debacle: his new film, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.

Robert Pattinson reacts to fans comparing his Primetime performance to the Joker: ‘Oh, Jesus’ Original
In Primetime, Robert Pattinson’s Chris Hansen sees himself as something like a real-life superhero. But fans online are picking up some delightfully villainous undertones to the actor’s performance.

How Mark Wahlberg made a real-life mafia hitman’s son cry behind the scenes of By Any Means Original
Not everything in Mark Wahlberg’s new film By Any Means is based entirely on historical facts, but his portrayal of a real-life mafia hitman was good enough to pass the ultimate test. In the based-on-a-true-story thriller, now in theaters, Wahlberg plays Greg Scarpa, a notorious mafioso who the FBI contracted to investigate — through violent, extralegal means — the Ku Klux Klan’s murder of civil rights leader Vernon Dahmer (played by Giancarlo Esposito) in 1960s Mississippi.
See Jacob Tremblay transform into teen Ted Kaczynski in Unabomber trailer (exclusive) Original
When people think of the Unabomber, they usually imagine the bearded man with the manifesto who terrified the country during his years-long mail bombing campaign. That he was once a clean-cut, brilliant young man accepted to Harvard at just 15 is, understandably, less well remembered. Netflix’s upcoming drama Unabomber, starring Jacob Tremblay as a teenage Ted Kaczynski, draws a throughline between those two disparate images and helps explain how one led to the other.
How real is Tony ? Why the Anthony Bourdain origin story doesn’t ‘let facts get in the way of the truth’ Original
No one knew better than Anthony Bourdain not to let facts get in the way of the truth. His seminal memoir, Kitchen Confidential, which rocketed him to fame at 44, is, by his own admission, peppered with myth and hyperbole. And yet, few authors, if any, have captured the spirit of the culinary underworld with such raw honesty and authenticity. In this way, Matt Johnson’s Tony is a fitting tribute to the troubadour chef, whose own legend has only grown since his death by suicide in 2018.
