Additionally, with most seasons that feature returning players,fans are expectingSurvivorlegends to travel to Figi next year, but with several “New Era” players likely being given a second chance, the lineup for season 50 may have fewer returning all-stars than initially expected....

On the set ofFargoYear 3, a handful of journalists and I were able to speak to the cast members currently filming in Calgary, Alberta, and see some of the locations where the show’s events take place. One of the most interesting was the “lair” inhabited byDavid Thewlis’ character V.M. Varga. Even now after having seen two screener episodes, we still don’t know much about him, and Thewlis couldn’t reveal much either at the time, but that makes Varga evenmoreenigmatic (which is all the better)....

What else can you say aboutThe Godfather? As it turns out, there’s an added twist you may not have known about concerning one of the lead roles in the quintessential mob movie made in 1972. Directed byFrancis Ford Coppolaand adapted fromMario Puzo’s unmatched source material novel, it became the gold standard for not only movies about crime families but motion pictures in general. We could get into the beautiful score, the top-notch cinematography, and the tremendous job done by Coppola in handling the egos of such a stacked and talented cast, but this particular article will instead delve intohow the role of Michael Corleone almost went to arguably the finest actor of the last 55 years but didn’t....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the series finale ofMare of Easttown, “Sacrament."] It’s been a long sad journey already withMare of Easttown, so no surprise that the finale (what we’re calling the series finale, though after firstBig Little Liesand thenPerry Masonended up getting second seasons, who knows what could happen?) delivered similar vibes. Like so many other sad murder shows, the finale began with a pretty clear suspect, followed by the reveal of the true killer, resulting in an even greater tragedy....

One of the many films to world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was directorLucas Heyne’s debut featureMope, which is based on a disturbing but true story. If you’re not familiar with the term Mope,Sundancehas a great description: “The termmoperefers to a low-level, wannabe porn actor who perhaps isn’t quite well endowed or otherwise attractive enough to achieve the success granted to “bigger”-name porn stars.
