Stories can be reinvented for new generations, that much has always been true, but for this particular story? Well, its star has been around for some time and the stories tend to be based around him more than any other actors. The world’s biggest movie star re-emerged from the sea in 2014 to restart the most titanic of franchises, and now, he’s storming onto a new platform. Godzilla is now streaming on Paramount+ after joining the platform on September 1. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), this epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla pits the world’s…
Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images For 18 seasons and counting, “Storage Wars” has followed an eclectic group of auction hunters as they scour abandoned storage units hoping to strike gold. The A&E reality series has turned many eccentric personalities into household names. However, behind the colorful banter, dramatic bidding wars, and exciting rummages through abandoned storage lockers, the series — and its spin-off “Storage Wars: Texas” — has experienced its share of behind-the-scenes tragedy. While many fan favorites have come and gone throughout the years, several memorable personalities from the show…
The Row, the new documentary from Bryan Fogel, does for open-sea rowing what the Oscar-winning Free Solo did for unassisted rock climbing, offering an intense yet meditative glimpse into the extremes people push themselves to in hopes of a catharsis that might have instead been achieved from a rigorous course of therapy. Put a different way, watching The Row is an 87-minute cycle of responses that alternate between “Whoa, gnarly!” and “What reasonable person would ever do something like this?” rendered viscerally enough that it’s easy to get caught up in its questions about trauma, masculinity and family without dwelling…

It’s been a huge year for Robert Pattinson, who starred opposite Zendaya in Kristoffer Borgli’s twisty pre-wedding thriller The Drama and then landed Best Supporting Actor buzz as the scheming suitor Antinous in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, now the biggest hit of his career at $1.5 billion worldwide. But his most notable role may be in Primetime, which just premiered at the Venice Film Festival and is earning him the best notices of his career as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen. Primetime is the first narrative feature from documentarian Lance Oppenheim. The film is set in 2006, with…
“Looking back on my childhood and the way that my parents raised me, I can’t think of anything that was negative,” Erin Bates Pain (who joined the fam on May 2, 1991) told People. “Everything, looking back, is really positive, and we made the best memories.” While they didn’t have a television “we substituted that for playtime with dad,” she continued. “Or, you know, playing games as a family or making memories. So, I don’t feel like we missed out on anything and, actually, I think we were smarter because of it.” Which meant that after she married Charles “Chad”…
Marilyn Monroe would have turned 100 this year. So when Maggie Gyllenhaal was approached to make a movie about her, she asked for a weekend to daydream about what that milestone might look like. What came back was “Flesh Impact,” a 17-minute short that hands the most consumed movie star of the 20th century something she was rarely granted in life — the floor to speak her mind. The film premieres at the Venice Film Festival, where Gyllenhaal is also serving as president of this year’s competition jury. Variety is exclusively debuting a clip from the short below. Gyllenhaal didn’t…
Well, that went about as well as I expected. There comes a point in this episode of Netflix’s The Gentlemen — around when Eddie starts talking about when he and his new bride Bella will be old and grey together — that you just know this poor woman is doomed. It’s a damn shame, too. She looked incredible in that party dress. Netflix I don’t mean to make light of Bella’s death, presumably arranged by some enemy or other of Eddie’s. Let’s count the suspects: There are potential vengeful associates of Tancredi (Federico Calistri), a boorish guest at the pre-wedding…
Hot on the heels of Wednesday evening’s Venice Film Festival world premiere of Ink, a film about the relationship between businessman Rupert Murdoch and newspaperman Larry Lamb on London’s Fleet Street back in the 1960s, the film’s director Danny Boyle, writer James Graham and star Jack O’Connell (who plays Lamb opposite Guy Pearce’s Murdoch) flew in to Telluride for the film’s North American premiere on Friday — and granted their first joint interview to The Hollywood Reporter. A transcript of that conversation, lightly edited for clarity and brevity, appears below. *** Congratulations on the film’s great reception in Venice — and…
Phoebe Bridgers Boobs Are ‘Primetime’ Viewing … Bares Bod at Venice Film Festival Premiere Published September 5, 2026 1:39 PM PDT Phoebe Bridgers wore an outfit not safe for prime-time television, but perfect for the premiere of “Primetime” at the Venice Film Festival … stunning in a sheer gown that left little to the imagination. The singer-songwriter walked the red carpet at the movie’s premiere Saturday … wearing a blue dress that looked more like a nightshirt than a formal gown.
