But my latest project sent me on a mission to a lunar landscape in Canada's Far North — one of the most difficult places I've ever had to reach. For the CBC Short Doc My New Moon Suit, we travelled to Devon Island, nestled in Canada's Arctic, to run our very own test of a new spacesuit. It's here, on the world's largest uninhabited island, that new-concept spacesuits…

But the House of Mouse is developing two different Pirates projects, and it's rumored that a star of The Bear is being approached to play a major role. Namely, recent Emmy winner Ayo Edebiri. …

A lot of actors look at the MCU and say “bring me that horizon” but it isn’t for everyone. Or at least sometimes a more exciting opportunity comes along. But, wait, what could be even more exciting than being part of a superhero universe? We may have to ask Ayo Edebiri that question, following her shock exit from Marvel’s Thunderbolts at the last minute.

Where drawn-out franchises are concerned, Pirates of the Caribbean is up there with Fast and Furious and Saw, even if not as mind-numbingly unnecessary as Home Alone. Still, Hollywood is reportedly not ready to let it go just yet. A sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film has been stuck in development purgatory at Disney for years now, derailed by the decline of Johnny Depp’s reputation, strikes, and other behind-the-scenes setbacks we’ll probably never know about. What’s the current status of Pirates of the Caribbean 6?…

On an unnamed island in the Caribbean, a cartel boss named Manuel (Edoardo Costa) kills bartender Akeem (Tristan Duncan) merely because he spills a drink on Nora (Cami Storm), a young singer Manuel was planning to lock up in his villa and force to sing only for himself, like a canary. The murder is not only grisly and bad management practice, but also consequential because it brings down the wrath of Akeem’s brother Mark (action movie star Michael Jai White, from Mortal Kombat and Black Dynamite), an LA policeman. It…
