Daniel Craig‘s final ride as James Bond wrapped up its filming two years ago. However, it is not until recently that a new clip featuring the actor’s emotional speech to the cast and crew of No Time To Die surfaced on the internet. The actor can be heard fighting back tears as he takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane, “A lot of people here worked on five pictures. I know there are a lot of things said about what I think of these films, but I’ve loved every single second of these movies. And especially this one because I’ve got up every morning, and I’ve had the chance to work with you guys. And that has been one of the greatest honors of my life.” The film will see Rami Malek star alongside Craig as the villain, while also introducing Lashana Lynch as the new 007.

Last week, Venom: Let There Be Carnage ran its test screening in London and the response from the movie has been strongly positive, but a highlight seems to be the film’s post-credit scene. After the screening, numerous views took to Twitter to express their excitement for the film and both Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson’s performances as the titular Venom and Carnage, but almost all of the tweets also included a message telling fans to definitely stay for the post-credits scene. “Do not miss the credits,” writes one user while another called the sequence “so epic.” While neither were allowed to disclose details about what the scene entailed, other users have suggested that it could possibly finally feature the Spider-verse crossover we’ve all been waiting for, with Tom Holland’s Spide...

Dune director Denis Villeneuve has offered his own criticism on the artistic substance of Marvel films. Villeneuve is not the first director to weigh in on the debate as Martin Scorsese once compared MCU movies to theme parks. After speaking to The Direct, Villeneuve revealed that Marvel movies “have turned us into zombies a bit.” He claims that the issue “is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a ‘cut and paste’ of others.” He added, “Just think of the golden age of Hollywood to see that commercial films can make a different artistic proposal and, therefore, political. I have never felt like a loss or an impediment to have a generous budget to do what I wanted to do. Upside down.” Villeneuve seems to want to debunk the myth that large budget films cann...

Netflix on Friday dropped off the official trailer for NBC‘s top-rated sitcom Seinfeld, which is slated to land on the streamer with a 180-episode premiere on October 1. The two-minute trailer humorously calls Seinfield “this fall’s hottest new show,” though the series’ nine seasons originally aired from July 1989 to May 1998. “We all have that one friend,” the visual reads, before introducing the show’s main characters. “Meet four of them.” Set in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Seinfeld stars comedian Jerry Seinfeld as a fictional version of himself and follows the story of his personal life alongside three of his friends, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards). The series was co-created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfel...

Soviet chess champion Nona Gaprindashvili has filed a $5 million USD defamation lawsuit against Netflix over a “sexist” line in The Queen’s Gambit. According to reports, Gaprindashvili’s suit refers to a line said by a commentator during the series finale. “The only unusual thing about her, really, is her sex, and even that’s not unique in Russia. There’s Nona Gaprindashvili, but she’s the female world champion and has never faced men,” the commentator says as Beth Harmon, portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy, plays a white-knuckle match in Moscow. The chess icon’s suit begs to differ, stating that Gaprindashvili has “won many championships, beat some of the best male chess players in the world, and was the first woman in history to achieve the status of international chess grandmaster among men,”...
