Netflix’s Blood Coast introduced the audience to a band of cops called “The Crazies,” who rarely thought twice before bending the rules to get their way. Their method of operation involved all sorts of illegal and inhumane tactics, including death threats, torture, and who knows what else! Amid the hustle-bustle and the gang wars prevalent in the city, they found their new enemy in Murillo and Tarek Hamadi, the criminals who had flooded the city with their dangerous cocaine. Even though Tarek Hamadi and Murillo were partners, their motivations couldn’t have been any more different. Murillo intended to kill Ali to avenge his son Lucas’ death, while Hamadi had his eyes set on Ali’s empire once he was out of the picture. Hamadi had secretly manipulated Murillo into believing that Ali had killed his son, but, in reality, it was with Hamadi’s bullet that Lucas lost his life to.

John Travolta remembered his Speed Kills co-star Tom Sizemore on social media, calling the actor — who died on Friday at 61 — an “excellent character actor.”
The two worked together on the 2018 crime drama, which also starred Jennifer Esposito, Kellan Lutz and James Remar and was directed by Jodi Scurfield. “I found him to be an excellent character actor,” Travolta wrote in a Saturday Instagram Story. “He knew exactly what he was doing. I enjoyed the experience working with him very much. He will be missed.”
Sizemore, best known for appearing in ’90s and early ’00s action films like Heat, Black Hawk Down and Pearl Harbor, as well as the Oscar-winning Saving Private Ryan, died Friday following a stroke and brain aneurysm at his L.A. home on Feb. 18. He was hospitalized in the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center’s intensive care unit and in a coma until last week when his...

Marvel Studios did not invent the shared universe. Comic books had already been playing with the concept for decades. Nor did Marvel Studios pioneer putting it onscreen. Filmmakers started toying with this as a storytelling device since at least Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man in 1943, and of course it’s been Toho Studios’ bread and butter since 1962—the first time Godzilla and King Kong got into a little donnybrook.
Nevertheless, it’s safe to say that before 2012, the idea of connecting your movies remained an eccentricity—a creative flourish by filmmakers like Kevin Smith or network television executives who wanted to maximize programming block synergy. It wasn’t something studios considered to be a viable commercial opportunity. Then The Avengers happened.
Released in 2012 and viewed throughout the industry as an ambitious bet by the upstarts at Marvel Studios, that movie became the first to gross 200 million in its opening domestic weekend.

Exclusive: Drama starring Isabelle Huppert due to shoot this June.
Les Films du Losange has taken on sales of Mia Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come (L’Avenir), starring Isabelle Huppert as a woman embarking on a new life after her husband leaves her for another woman.
“We’ll kick off sales at Cannes on the back of the script. The film is due to shoot in Paris in June,” said Les Films du Losange head of sales Agathe Valentin.
Huppert stars as Nathalie, a settled philosophy teacher who has been married for years to Heinz, with whom she has two grown-up children. They stay together out of habit and common intellectual pursuits – he also teaches philosophy — rather than for love.
But one day Heinz announces he has fallen for another woman and moves out. At the same time, Nathalie’s possessive, time-consuming mother passes away. As the summer holidays loom, Nathalie is staring...
