Amid the launch of Taylor Sheridan’s latest series, Landman, oil isn’t the only precious resource being discovered in Texas. Content from the venerable publication Texas Monthly has been enjoying an unprecedented boom of interest from Hollywood, with adapted projects ranging from the Paramount+ drama and Richard Linklater’s recent Netflix movie Hit Man to the HBO limited series Love & Death and the Discovery+ documentary series How to Create a Sex Scandal.

“It’s a character that I love going back to when there’s a way to use her well, and I think I have been lucky that when I started I was used well within Age of Ultron,” Olsen said of the role during a recent interview with Dublin radio outlet FM104. “And then, I think people didn’t know what to do with me for a second there.”

However, she said they eventually “were able to utilize the character well in interesting ways of telling...

I so much want to do films right now. And I hope some of them come together in the way I feel like they can. But yeah, that’s something that I need. I just need other characters in my life. There’s no longevity in one character.”

Love & Death depicts the Betty Gore murder in a realistic and chronological manner, emphasizing the "why" rather than creating mystery. Candy struck Betty 41 times with an axe, with 28 blows to her head, showcasing the heinous nature of the crime. Betty's infant daughter was asleep and unharmed during the murder, highlighting the tragic circumstances surrounding the event.

This article contains mention of murder.

Love & Death discloses some horrific details about the Betty Gore crime scene, raising the question of how accurate the show's depiction of the murder is to the real-life crime. HBO Max's Love & Death is not the first series that attempts to capture the gruesome nature and the tragic circumstances of Betty Gore's murder as it follows Candy released a year earlier. What really makes Love & Death's portrayal of true crime stand out is its ensemble cast and attempt to dig deeper into the motives and...

Elizabeth Olsen's break from playing Scarlet Witch in the MCU allows her to explore diverse film and TV roles outside the franchise. Olsen's post-mcu roles in the film His Three Daughters and limited series Love & Death prove the MCU needs her more than she needs it.

It’s now been 15 years since Krysten Ritter’s Breaking Bad arc came to a tragic, series-altering end. But that eight-episode run in season two of the beloved AMC series continues to bear fruit for the actor.

Last night, she made her return to the home network of Breaking Bad as the star of Orphan Black: Echoes — a spinoff of Tatiana Maslany’s mothership series that picks up 37 years later. Created by Anna Fishko, Ritter’s new character, Lucy, instead of being a clone, was recently printed into existence by a four-dimensional printer. And, despite her best efforts to create a well-adjusted life for herself in just two years’ time, she’s soon forced to piece together the puzzle of who she really is and why she was created.

The road to Echoes truly began with Ritter’s Breaking Bad character Jane Margolis, who went from Jesse Pinkman’s (Aaron Paul...

Gyllenhaal shines in dark thrillers like Zodiac and Nightcrawler, proving his versatility in Hollywood. "Presumed Innocent" marks Gyllenhaal's TV debut, adding to his streak of acclaimed performances. Gyllenhaal's portrayal of complex characters like Louis Bloom in Nightcrawler showcases his brilliance as an actor.

Jake Gyllenhaal's latest project Presumed Innocent is yet another great thriller in the celebrated actor's filmography. Gyllenhaal has become one of the most recognizable movie stars on the planet who has surprisingly yet to win an Academy Award or an Emmy for his efforts. Presumed Innocent marks Gyllenhaal's television and streaming debut, which is shocking in and of itself considering the actor earned his first professional acting credit with 1991's City Slickers. Presumed Innocent's positive Rotten Tomatoes score continues Gyllenhaal's recent streak of starring in critically acclaimed movies, and now, television series.

Exclusive: Johnny Canales, the famed Tejano singer and Mexican American TV host who passed away on June 13, is the subject of Take It Away, a new feature doc from Adrian Arredondo and Myrna Perez that has entered production.

In a moment when Latino music and artists like Peso Pluma, Grupo Frontera, and Bad Bunny are dominating the charts, the film explores the origins of Latin music’s rise through The Johnny Canales Show — a space where, beginning in the 1980s, every Latino in America felt seen, free to be unapologetically themselves, and part of a larger movement.

Ushering in the golden age of Tejano music and the “Decade of the Hispanic,” Canales and his TV show became a microcosm of the Latino experience in America.

The film will be exec produced by Texas Monthly and Trojan Horse Media, as well as Arredondo and Perez. CAA Media Finance reps worldwide distribution rights.

Written by Melnechuk and Jackson, the film tells the story of Daisy (Jackson), a Latina orphan living and working as a cowgirl on a bucking bull ranch in Texas. Daisy’s always been treated as less-than by her domineering boss Mrs. Koehl (Wheeler-Nicholson). When her rodeo star twin brother gets paralyzed, his spitfire bull rider girlfriend Tam (Cowen) convinces Daisy to train and take her brother’s place in a high-stakes championship. Determined to get her shot, Daisy catches the attention of washed-up pro rider Guy (Huber), who becomes her coach. Sparks fly, but there are snakes everywhere. Betrayed by those closest...

Presumed Innocent, a novel published in 1987 by lawyer-turned-author Scott Turow, came from a specific era of popular fiction about the law, which prefigured John Grisham's massive run not long after.

Grisham's novels featured heroic lawyers against mobsters, Klansmen, and other bad guys.

Turow's most popular novel, on the other hand, was the much less heroic story of a prosecuting attorney accused of murdering a fellow lawyer, a woman with whom he had an extramarital affair.

Just as Grisham's novels The Firm, A Time to Kill, and The Pelican Brief drew considerable interest from Hollywood, Turow's novel Presumed Innocent was made into a movie in 1990, directed by Alan J. Pakula (All the President's Men).

Awards season may well be over for another year in the world of film, with the Oscars, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes just a distant memory now. But on Sunday evening, one of the biggest nights in British TV, the BAFTA TV Awards — this year hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Ramesh Ranganathan — took place at London’s Royal Festival Hall. And on a night where the two most nominated shows, Black Mirror and The Crown, failed to snag a single win, Happy Valley, Top Boy, and The Sixth Commandment enjoyed great success in key categories, each taking home two awards apiece.

On the night, Sarah Lancashire won Leading Actress for her all-timer of a turn as police sergeant Catherine Cawood in Happy Valley, her second BAFTA for the same role.

Netflix’s “The Crown” leads the way with eight nominations. Another Netflix show, “Demon 79 (Black Mirror),” came in second with seven nominations while BBC’s “Happy Valley,” Apple TV’s “Slow Horses,” and BBC’s “The Sixth Commandment” all snagged six bids apiece.

Nicole Kidman may find that even heartbreak feels good in a movie theater, but the Oscar-winning actress is not going to find herself directing one of those films for the silver screen.

Kidman told The Hollywood Reporter while being honored with the AFI Life Achievement Award that she is aware of the fact that she “would be a terrible director” — in part due to her indecisiveness. Kidman has produced a slew of TV series such as “Big Little Lies,” “Nine Perfect Strangers,” “The Undoing,” “Love & Death,” “Special Ops: Lioness,” and “Expats” through her Blossom Films banner. She’s pretty good at that.

“I feel like I would be a terrible director because I always have so many ideas. A director has to make choices, and that’s not my strong suit,” Kidman said. “I’m very good at being passionate and supporting the voices and reading a script and going,...

When Nicole Kidman was honored with the AFI Life Achievement Award, she spent a large portion of her speech thanking the directors whom she’s worked with throughout the years. The respect for the job, though, doesn’t she mean has any desire to step behind the camera herself.

“I feel like I would be a terrible director because I always have so many ideas. A director has to make choices, and that’s not my strong suit,” Kidman told The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday night on the AFI red carpet, noting that a producer’s duties much more align with her interests. “I’m very good at being passionate and supporting the voices and reading a script and going, ‘I love this script,’ or seeing somebody and going, ‘I love this actor, I love this director, how do I support them?’ And they maybe have done nothing [before], but I want to get behind them.

“True Detective” season four, officially titled “True Detective: Night Country,” has returned the HBO crime series to its former glories after seasons two and three disappointed. This entry follows Jodie Foster as a police chief investigating the vanishing of eight men in the spooky, fictional town of Ennis, Alaska.

One of many things, along with the eerie town and Lovecraftian seasoning, that makes this series so excellent is its cast. Two-time Oscar-winner Foster is joined by a trio of other veterans — Christopher Eccleston, Fiona Shaw, and John Hawkes — plus a pair of newcomers: former boxer Kali Reis and rising star Finn Bennett. Bennett plays police Officer Peter Prior, the son of Hawkes’ Captain Prior, and he turns in a nuanced, memorable performance. Critics have agreed, too, he makes the strongest impression amongst the series’ supporting cast.

Caryn James (BBC) opined: ‘Bennett is vivid and convincing as Peter Prior, a smart...

Elizabeth Olsen (Love & Death) and Charles Melton (May December) are set to star in Love Child, the first new movie from Todd Solondz in eight years.

Love Child follows Misty, a woman stuck in a loveless marriage to a brutish husband. “Junior, her precocious 11-year-old is her only consolation,” reads the description. “When Easy, a handsome vagabond stranger, appears, Junior hatches a plan to get rid of his father so that his mother can marry him instead. But things end up backfiring, so Junior comes up with yet another plan, this one even more devious, and with more disastrous—and unexpected—consequences.” The film has been in the works for some time, with Rachel Weisz and Colin Farrell once attached to the project back in 2021.

Ali Wong took home the Golden Globe tonight for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made For Television for Beef. It was her first nomination and her first win.

Wong had a long walk to the stage that was nearly as long as her brief acceptance speech. Keeping it short and sweet, the actress thanked co-star Steven Yeun, show creator Lee Sung Jin and her husband. (Yeun went on to win in his category shortly after Wong.)

The very tight race in the category also included Riley Keough for Daisy Jones & the Six, Brie Larson for Lessons in Chemistry, Elizabeth Olsen for Love & Death, Juno Temple for Fargo and Rachel Weisz for Dead Ringers.

The Golden Globes were held at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, with Jo Koy hosting the ceremony. See a full list of winners here.
