Henry Cavill is becoming a spy in AppleTV+’s Argylle, which is coming to theaters this February. As we look forward to the exciting release on the 2024 movie schedule, the former Superman actor has shared the story behind a rather intense train fight sequence he worked on alongside Sam Rockwell, and it sounds like it was an overwhelming amount of work. Argylle takes place in two realities, one of an introverted spy novelist named Elly Conway, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, in her own life, and that of her imagined world…

Ezio didn’t dive into hay bales for this Ubisoft, undaunted, is continuing to mine its catalog of IPs for new NFT/blockchain ventures, announcing this morning that it intends to release a new line of pretendo pictures based upon its hugely successful time-hopping series Assassin’s Creed. This new venture, at the very least, has something of a physical form. The Assassin’s Creed Smart Collectibles line consists of images of characters from the long-running stealth series, replicated as “Digital Souls”. The variance in…

An investigation by NME has found that Ubisoft Paris – the studio behind Just Dance – has allegedly suffered from crunch culture, demanding management and disputes with Ubisoft headquarters. Last week, French union Solidaires Informatique’s Ubisoft Paris alleged that Just Dance 2023 burned out ten per cent of its developers, and involved monthly rates of sick leave. While Ubisoft declined to comment on the claims, a representative from Solidaires Informatique’s Ubisoft Paris branch alleged the statistics were an accurate…

‘They can’t all conduct, honey”, Lydia Tár informs her daughter as she hands each of her dolls a pencil to use as a makeshift baton. “It’s not a democracy.”In her sharp put-downs, sidelining of procedure, and singular, maniacal artistry, Tár – played by Cate Blanchett in the film of the same name – embodies all the tropes of the autocratic conductor. The first of a glut of forthcoming “maestro movies” (Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biographical drama Maestro is currently in production, as is The Yellow Tie, on the…

It’s a very fun and very complicated time to be a fan of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga. And I don’t just mean the recent events of the Egghead Arc, where the Straw Hats finally met the infamous Dr. Vegapunk, an encounter that has coincided with roughly a million different reveals and plot twists. The last time One Piece had a story arc that seemed to give its readers a chance to breathe was around five years ago, and even then, the plot was consumed with a heated and lengthy battle between Luffy and Katakuri and Big…

My earliest reading memoryIn the Jungle, a book about counting animals. I was three or four. The colours were vivid, the animals exotic, and I read those pages thousands of times. My favourite book growing upAcross the Barricades by Joan Lingard. Growing up in an Ireland riven by division, the story of love and kindness in Belfast between Catholic Kevin and Protestant Sadie was a balm for me.The book that changed me as a teenagerI was 16, in school, when I first read Moderato Cantabile by Marguerite Duras. After a diet of…

In the opening act of Damien Chazelle’s hyperventilating, splashboard portrait of early Hollywood, an elephant shits explosively straight on to the screen, covering us in a veritable sewage farm of sloppy excreta. Over the next three hours (believe me, it feels longer) we’ll be treated to a man chomping down on live rats in the bowels of hell, a giant alligator snapping at the heels of subterranean revellers to the monkey/chimp refrain of Aba Daba Honeymoon, and a rattlesnake sinking its fangs into Margot Robbie’s neck…

Lately, Kimbra has been thinking about her anxiety. It’s something she’s long struggled with but has begun to take more seriously as an adult. “I have a really challenging career, so sometimes I , why me? Then I’m like, well, it makes sense,” she says, her native Kiwi accent dulled by years of living in the US. “Any young woman who was thrown into the spotlight young, who has to think every day about how they appear, to be scrutinised, and has a lot of people putting money into their career – obviously, I’m going to be…

Nine months after it was created by Congress, President Joe Biden’s new agency for high-risk biomedical research has begun to take shape under its first chief, Renee Wegrzyn. The 45-year-old applied biologist is a veteran of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the model for the new agency that, for now, is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  Wegrzyn, who started as director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health…
