Leonardo DiCaprio Cast in Tarantino’s Manson Movie
Leonardo DiCaprio has joined Quentin Tarantino's untitled Charles Manson film.
Deadline reports DiCaprio has agreed to star in the movie as an aging actor. Not much else about the role is currently known, but it will be DiCaprio's first film since his Oscar-winning performance in 2015's The Revenant. The actor previously worked with Tarantino on 2012's Django Unchained.
Tarantino reportedly also wants Margot Robbie to portray Manson murder victim Sharon Tate, and Tom Cruise to join the film as well in an unknown lead role. Samuel L. Jackson is also rumored to be a part of the cast.

TNT’s The Alienist is Your Next Big Serial Killer Obsession
If you enjoyed Netflix's Mindhunter, and how that series explored the late-1970s roots of FBI behavior profiling for serial killers, then your next big TV addiction/obsession just might be TNT's upcoming macabre event series, The Alienist - based on Caleb Carr’s award winning bestseller.
Starring Captain America: Civil War's Daniel Brühl, Beauty and the Beast's Luke Evans and The Twilight Saga's Dakota Fanning, The Alienist - which premieres January 22nd at 9/8c - transports us back to 1896 New York when nobody believed that such a thing as serial killers even existed. Controversial "Alienist" Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Brühl) uses then-controversial methods to track down a ritualistic killer targeting boy prostitutes in the city's underbelly.
Why Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Skips Resolving Syaoran’s Season 3 Cliffhanger
The final arc of Cardcaptor Sakura leaves Sakura’s relationship with Syaoran up in the air. In case you forgot, he leaves for Hong Kong without Sakura ever telling him her true feelings, though it’s obvious she likes him when she takes the bear and ends up creating the Nameless Card as she thinks about her feelings for him. The first episode of Clear Card (the new fourth arc of Cardcaptor Sakura) sees the two together as a lovely couple with an implied confession prior to Syaoran leaving for Hong Kong. But how did Sakura reveal her true feelings to her former rival?
Sakura has confessed her affection for Syaoran in two ways: after an intense battle in Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card, the sequel movie to Cardcaptor Sakura, and in the Clear Card prologue that has yet to hit streaming sites.
7 Things We Hope Dark Souls Remastered Fixes
Dark Souls is getting a long-awaited and much-deserved revisit in the form of Dark Souls Remastered, coming to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and — surprisingly — Nintendo Switch on May 25, 2018.
As a game that, in only a handful of years, defined a generation of games and whose influence will probably be seen for years to come, Dark Souls doesn’t have a whole lot we’d ask FromSoftware to drastically change. But there are a few ways we’re excited to see the beloved adventure improved for current gen platforms, and for the incoming wave of new Dark Souls fans.
Warner Bros. Sets Shazam! Release Date
The Zachary Levi-led Shazam! movie now has a release date.
Warner Bros. announced the DC superhero film will open in theaters on April 5, 2019, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The release of Shazam! is just one month ahead of Marvel Studios' still-untitled fourth Avengers film, which makes its theatrical debut on May 3, 2019, and four months after DC's Aquaman solo movie, which opens on December 21, 2018.
Levi will star as Earth's Mightiest Mortal, while Disney Channel star Asher Angel will play Billy Batson, who, by simply saying "Shazam!" can transform into the adult superhero. IT star Jack Dylan Grazer will play Billy's best friend, Freddy Freeman, and Mark Strong is in talks to play the movie's villain.
John Wick TV Show, The Continental, Coming to Starz
Starz and Lionsgate are developing a John Wick TV series titled The Continental, Starz announced at the Television Critics Association winter 2018 press tour.
The show will be set in the John Wick universe and take place in a hyper-real version of Los Angeles, with the story focusing on the inner workings of the Continental Hotel. Starz promises the series will maintain the same fast-paced action and dry humor from the two John Wick films.
Speaking at the TCA winter press tour, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said "the show and the movies exist side by side" and noted "it’s unclear what Keanu’s role will be. The show is not designed to have him in the lead
we’re very excited for it."
Gillian Anderson Reveals Why She’ll Never Do Another X-Files Series
After 11 seasons and more than 200 episodes of The X-Files, Gillian Anderson has revealed that the current run of episodes will be her last -- and she wants to make it clear that "this is it for me," regardless of whether creator Chris Carter and co-star David Duchovny choose to continue.
At a recent panel for the series at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Anderson explained how she came to the decision, admitting that when she signed up for Season 10, she believed that those six episodes would be her last hurrah as Special Agent Dana Scully, but the pitch for the current season -- which was bumped up to 10 episodes -- changed her mind.
