Lucien Laviscount

Actor Lucien Laviscount, who plays Alfie in the Netflix series Emily in Paris, is reportedly being deemed for the role of James Bond after being considered the right age to play the British secret agent.

Lucien Laviscount is the new entrant in the lineup of Hollywood actors being viewed for the James Bond franchise. The Emily in Paris star could substitute Daniel Craig as 007 in the franchise. The actor plays Alfie in the Netflix series helmed by Lily Collins. Alfie is the boyfriend of Lily’s character Emily Cooper; he entered the series in season two.

The British actor, who is 30, is said to be the ideal age to play the character, according to the creators. Producer Barbara Broccoli has earlier said that she desires the next actor as Bond to play the British secret agent for the next 15 years. Daniel last played the iconic personality in the 2021 film No Time To Die. He acted in five movies in the franchise commencing with Casino Royale in 2006.

According to a report in the leading newspaper, the only obstacle to Lucien’s casting could be his last appearance on the reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2011 when he came in fifth place.

A reference told the British website, “Lucien has all the qualities. He is a super-talented actor, is enormously handsome, and in the past 18 months has won lots of new fans since he joined Emily In Paris. Bond chiefs are already saying how you can see him in the 007 tuxedoes, how elegant and conforming to the role he will look.”

They also added, “But, there is a sticking topic, and that is Big Brother. Lucien came on the show at a time when his acting career was not as good as it is these days, but he was very famous then and has a fan base now that lengthens generations. That is a dream for Barbara who is his great admirer.”

The actor has arisen in the British series Grange Hill, Coronation Street, and Waterloo Road. He also starred in the American series Scream Queens and Katy Keene. He lately starred in the Netflix movie Your Christmas Or Mine with Angela Griffin and Asa Butterfield.

The report also conveyed that while the final notification is yet to be publicized on the Bond casting, stunt men and women are being tested at Pinewood Studios. Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy are some of the other stars whose considerations have come up in conversation for the role.

Kate is a renowned journalist and has been known for long years. She was seen as a hardball, who always the truth, and this led some persons to feel that she was indeed cranky. Over the years, after making a mark in journalism, and leaving a lot of persons in awe at how good she was, she delved into novel writing. Lynch is a lover of pets, and she has a dog to prove it. Sarah-Kate, currently, resides in North Island.

‘Peter Pan and Wendy’ Trailer Out—Film Arrives On Disney+ April 28th

Peter Pan and Wendy

What’s your favorite fairy tale? Well, if your answer is Peter Pan, you’re in luck. Disney is now very well known for dropping really good fairy tale films, whether they’re live-action or animated. Now, the studio is ready to let it go with Peter Pan and Wendy, a live-action adaptation of, you guessed it, “Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up.” 

The story follows Wendy and her brothers discovering Pan and following him into Neverland. What a smart idea, what could possibly go wrong? Or so you thought, but Pan and Wendy end up in trouble after the evil Captain Hook starts hunting them down. Here’s the official synopsis:

Wendy Darling, a young girl looking to avoid boarding school, meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Wendy, her brothers, and Tinker Bell travel with Peter to the magical world of Neverland, where she encounters an evil pirate captain.

Peter Pan and Wendy on Disney+

The film is a remake of Disney’s classic animated tales. The film is directed by our favorite, David Lowery, who is also responsible for Pete’s Dragon, a 2016 film. It would appear that Lowery has a taste for fairy tales. Perhaps it’s an acquired taste. You may be wondering who the perfect picks are for the cast of Peter Pan and Wendy. Well, to enlighten you, Jude Law is playing Captain Hook, need we say more?

Alexander Molony is playing the infamous fairy tale character Peter Pan, and Ever Anderson is your new Wendy Darling. So, whether you like peter pan mermaids or not, this time, Disney’s casting is rather perfect. Of course, the last time Disney cast a mermaid, people were pretty mad. 

A live action peter pan is a bold choice for Disney but not an unexpected one. Among the many hoards of your favorite remakes, this animated one has a common story. In fact, this storyline has been used by greats like Steven Spielberg in his film Hook. So there’s little doubt in how engaging the story is.

Your main concern may be the cast, perhaps the execution. God knows Disney has been getting slack for poorly executing its recent projects. Whether its the horrendous CGI in Marvel films or poorly made remakes. Hopefully, Jude Law in a captain hook costume will be enough to convince cinemagoers.

The film releases on the 28th of April exclusively on Disney+.

‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ Smashes Global Box Office Record For An Animated Film

Published

The Super Mario Bros Movie

The iconic “wahoo” must be ringing in everyone’s ears at Universal Pictures right about now! The Super Mario Bros Movie is lighting all theatre screens on fire with its phenomenal performance. Chris Pratt plays the unlikely superhero for Princess Peach’s Mushroom Kingdom. Peach herself is our favorite Chess grandmaster from Queen’s Gambit, Anya Taylor Joy. 

Thanks to Easter, a long weekend meant more time for everyone to hang out at the movies. The Super Mario Bros Movie just happens to be the perfect film to watch with your family and before you know it, the film already has $377 million in its collection!

The Super Mario Bros Movie Box Office

The film initially opened up for previews on the last Tuesdays and officially dropped in America the very next day. Over the course of five days, it had made about $206 million domestically. The weekend box office was going to be a huge deal for Universal. This is because the film based on the Mario games made about $173 million worldwide by the time Easter was over.

Their success is more than what it may seem. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has previously held the record of best box office opening for a video game movie with about $71 million. The bros review poured in and boosted the film to hundreds of millions. It left even Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania behind. The Marvel film had accumulated about $249 million globally in its opening weekend.

And that’s not the only record. The film also surpassed Frozen II to become the highest-earning film over the weekend box office. Frozen II held the record at $358 million.

The Super Mario Bros Movie Talented Artists Work Together

Pratt was originally trolled and ridiculed on social media. He doesn’t even have a single Italian hair on his body, and so, the verdict was released. Some said he wouldn’t make a great Mario. Even Anya Taylor Joy was doubted for her role as Princess Peach. But things have come around the rainbow in the cloud. Both of them have played their roles wonderfully. Enough to make the film such a great hit.

One voice that was never doubted though was that of Jack Black. One of the most adored actors in Hollywood, Black is the voice behind the evil Bowser. He played the character with a burning passion, and it clearly shows. The film also plentifully references things like cat Mario and toad Mario making it as wholesome as possible. 

The Super Mario Movie release date is April 5. It’s already out in about 70 countries worldwide. If you haven’t watched the film, do yourself the biggest favor and go to the cinema right now!

However, it will probably not be the highest-grossing movie of all time unless it crosses the $2 billion mark.

Murder Mystery 2 Get Netflix’s Second Biggest Weekend Opening For A Comedy Movie

Murder Mystery 2 Get Netflix’s Second Biggest Weekend Opening For A Comedy Movie

Who thought Rachel from FRIENDS would make such an iconic duo with the ‘Sandman’ Adam Sandler himself? Murder Mystery 2 is now available on Netflix, and it’s made tidal waves on the platform. The very first film was released in 2019, with Sandler playing Nick Spitz and Aniston as Audrey Spitz. 

The two get caught up in a, you guessed it, murder mystery while trying to reinvigorate the spark in their marriage. The sequel of the film sees them opening their own detective agency since they were so good at solving the crime last time.

Murder Mystery 2 Has Second Biggest Opening Weekend

Even with low ratings from critics, Murder Mystery 2 has managed to amass about 42 million views. A huge number that’s almost double the opening weekend viewership of Murder Mystery. It is one of the few comedy mystery movies on Netflix, and somehow, it just works so well! The secret is undoubtedly in the chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. The two artists are best friends inside and outside of the film.

“I very much love to take care of him,” Aniston talked about working with Sandler. “He’s so concerned with taking care of everybody else, which he really does. And he doesn’t take care of himself.” 

It’s always a warm hug to the heart when you see two best friends working on films together. Unfortunately, critics may not have been as loving of the film as fans. While the Google users score for the film is 84% right now, it only sports a meager 5.7/10 on IMDb. Rotten Tomatoes, which is infamous for giving out rotten ratings, has done it once again as well. The RT rating for Murder Mystery 2 is 45%.

Murder Mystery 2

However, Netflix audiences are soaking the film in. Between 27th March and 2nd April, the film had secured 64.42 million hours watched. Also, it appeared in the Top 10 lists of over 90 countries at once. The numbers once again speak for themselves. The prequel of the film only had about 24.7 million hours watched in a similar time window.

TV Shows Viewership

Other than Murder Mystery 2, shows like Love is Blind and The Night Agent also had big moments. The Night Agent still dominates the list as the number 1 most-viewed show over the last two weeks. It has amassed over 47 million views thanks to its consistent fanbase. Moreover, it has gained over 385 million hours viewed. 

Love is Blind, on the other hand, manages to stay in the top 10 list with its fourth season. It also has around 47 million views keeping the audience entertained. Shadow and Bone season 2 was dethroned by The Night Agent. As a result, the former show fell to the third rank in the viewership list easily. In its third week, the show received about 27 million hours of viewership.

Finally, going in hard at number 7 was Chris Rock’s comedy special Selective Outrage. The show became increasingly famous because Rock finally opened up about the whole Will Smith debacle. And the man also made a lot of money out of it. Will Smith was reportedly “offended” by Rock’s rants, but it doesn’t look like the comedian cares anymore.
