Are you surprised that I'm suggesting this? Well, you shouldn't be. Because when Revenge season four starts on Sept. 28, it could very well be its last if the shift in focus doesn't pan out. If Victoria is really out for revenge on Emily, people are going to die. And, considering the fact that Victoria killed Aiden in cold blood back in season three and she hardly knew him, I can't see her having trouble killing Nolan. She doesn't even like Nolan to begin with and he's the closest person to Emily right now, with the exception of Jack, whose death could really hurt her.
Yes, we've seen this look before. Usually Nolan's giving it to Emily from behind someone's back. But, that doesn't seem like the case here when I made the connection between this part of the trailer and this photo on the Revenge homepage. Nolan's making this face behind Emily's back. Is something or someone driving a wedge between them? Maybe he finds it creepy that Emily's hanging out and throwing parties at Grayson Manor.
It's possible that Emily's cut Nolan out of her plans for his own good and he's just not taking that lightly. Or it could be that Revenge is setting Nolan up to die by making him and emotional and erratic liability in season four. If he's getting this drunk at parties, it's a risk for Emily to have him around. He knows way too much about who she is and what she's done. But it's also a liability for him in the case that he falls into the wrong hands.
"If I am such a burden to you, then why are you still with me? Why don't you just leave?!" Prime Video has revealed the full official trailer for a romantic thriller series called Wilderness, which will be available for streaming in just a few weeks. Adapted from the novel of the same name by B.E. Jones, and directed for the screen by filmmaker So Yong Kim. The perfect marriage. The perfect trip. The perfect place for an accident? The dream trip of Liv & Will is shattered when Liv discovers her husband's dark secret - an illicit affair. What lengths will Liv go to to seek revenge? The setup is - they go on a road trip to see stunning places, but at the Grand Canyon she envisions a sneaky little revenge plot to send him over the edge and make it look like an "accident". Will she go through with it? What else might be going on in this story? Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen co-star, with Ashley Benson, Eric Balfour, Claire Rushbrook, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Morgana Van Peebles. It looks like something spicy that should get viewers riled up.
As I've written previously, Arsne Lupin is the creation of Maurice Leblanc, who based the character partly on a French burglar/anarchist. Relentlessly pursued by a detective named Ganimard, Lupin is captured stealing a woman's jewels while on board a ship. Although he is imprisoned, he ultimately escapes before standing trial and goes on to pull off many other colorful heists.
The Netflix series is the creation of Louis Leterrier, who directed the 2013 heist thriller Now You See Me, in which a band of magicians pulls off ingenious robberies. So it's easy to see why he would be drawn to this project.
It's partly because Netflix, in particular, has a gift for ferreting out solid foreign films and TV series likely to appeal to American tastes. And Lupin has just the right amount of universal appeal for audiences craving fresh fare while stuck at home during a global pandemic. In fact, it was a hit in households all around the world, including Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa.
The show even reached No. 1 in France, so that French journalist was in the minority. Who doesn't love the dashing exploits of a gentleman thief? "This level of response is totally beyond me," Sy told Deadline Hollywood earlier this year. "It's great to see in Brazil or in France they loved Lupin for the same reason. There's something universal, and that's something I always try to achieve."
The only bad thing about Lupin part 1 was that, at only five episodes, it was too short and ended on the mother of all cliffhangers, with Pellegrini's henchmen kidnapping Assane's son in retaliation for the theft of the diamond necklace and Assane's attempt to make Pellegrini's longstanding corruption public. Per the official part 2 premise: "Assane's quest for revenge against Hubert Pellegrini has torn his family to pieces. With his back to the wall, he now has to think of a new plan, even if it means putting himself in danger."
The trailer opens right where part 1 left off, with Assane's son bound and gagged in a chair and Assane vowing revenge against Pellegrini. That's going to be particularly difficult, since Pellegrini has used his media contacts to frame Assane for a crime he didn't commit, and Assane is now the most wanted man in France. So Assane and his loyal ally, jeweler Benjamin Ferel (Antoine Gouy), decide to disappear for a bit to concoct a new plan while in hiding. Meanwhile, Pellegrini is setting a trap for our gentleman thief: a symphony performance in honor of Arsne Lupin. We get plenty of gorgeous shots of Paris, a car chase, and what looks like an epic showdown in the famous catacombs of Paris.
Lupin part 2 debuts on Netflix on June 11, 2021. Netflix has already renewed the series for a part 3, so we'll be getting lots more of Assane's dashing exploits in the future. And it's the perfect time to binge all five episodes of part 1 if you haven't already seen them.
When we fell in love with the ABC drama back in season one, it was all because we were watching one revenge-obsessed woman do everything she could to take down the woman who ruined her life. And when season four premieres later this month, we'll be watching that again...Except this time, instead of Emily (Emily VanCamp) gunning for Victoria (Madeleine Stowe), Victoria's vowing to take down Emily!
My, how far we've come since the series premiere. Emily thinks she's finally won against the Graysons after three seasons of schemes, lies and revenge. But this Hamptonite better watch her back, because even though Queen V is trapped in a mental institution, it looks like she hasn't lost her bite.
Plus, with the season three revelation that David Clarke (new series regular James Tupper) is actually alive (!), something tells us Emily's newfound feeling of victory isn't going to last. Will her long-presumed dead father return to help his daughter, or will he shake her life up even more?
Revenge executive producer Aaron Harberts told us earlier this summer that David's return may not be the best thing for Emily or Victoria. "He may not be the most emotionally and psychologically stable," Harberts said. "The drive of season four will be Emily discovering who Amanda Clarke is and Emily figuring out her new life with her father in it. I don't want to say when she's going to discover it that, but that's going to be our arc for the season."
Ladies and gentlemen, here is a movie that is going to piss a lot of people off. The first trailer for The Assignment has arrived and it's just as tasteless and cringe-worthy as the longline would lead you to believe. From legendary genre director Walter Hill (The Warriors, The Driver and 48 Hours, among others), The Assignment stars Michelle Rodriguez as Frank Kitchen, an ace hitman who sets out a revenge spree after he is captured by a sadistic, amoral surgeon (Sigourney Weaver) and subject to a forced gender reassignment surgery. Oof. Not great, Bob. (You can read Phil's full review here.)
The film was originally called Tomboy, then (Re)Assignment and finally the generic The Assignment, which seems destined to lure in a lot of people who have no idea what they're getting into. As you might expect, it's already taken some heat from trans advocacy groups for casting a cisgender woman in the lead role in addition to the obvious indelicateness of the plot. There's no official U.S. release date, but for now, you can check out the trailer and get your cringe on below.
I'm always conflicted when it comes to overtly provocative garbage like this. It's offensive and rude and inconsiderate, but as someone who grew up fascinated with exploitation cinema, the Marquis de Sade, and the tradition of crass, crude provocateurs, I have a soft spot for such purely insane and uncompromising trash. That said, in a time when trans rights are still struggling to take shape, my own self-indulgent interest in button-putting sleaze holds no weight next to the needs of a community in an unending battle for acceptance.
Plus, it's not necessarily the idea that's offensive, it's the execution. And it looks like The Assignment is just swinging blindly in that regard. Pedro Almodovar's extraordinary The Skin I Live in played with a lot of similar themes and subject matters, but it did it in a thoughtful and sympathetic way that offered a little commentary on gender culture and human nature in addition to its lurid plot points. I think The Assignment is pretty much a surface-level revenger that's pretty unconcerned with soul-searching commentary.
A revenge tale about an ace assassin who is double-crossed by gangsters and a rogue plastic surgeon operating on the fringes of society. The story becomes a trail of self-discovery and redemption against a criminal mastermind opponent. Starring Michelle Rodriguez, Sigourney Weaver, and Tony Shalhoub.
Bob Odenkirk returns in top form in the Better Call Saul season 6 trailer as Jimmy McGill as he transitions to the Saul Goodman of Breaking Bad. AMC announces another chapter in The Walking Dead universe: Isle of the Dead stars Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. HBO Max has ordered to series The Batman feature film spin-off The Penguin, featuring Colin Farrell as villainous Oswald Cobblepot. Plus, trailers for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and more of biggest news in TV and streaming.
