Exciting Project Alert: 'Spanish Dracula'

Remember the filmmaking brothers Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz? Their career together started strong with a box office smash American Pie (1999) and a well-loved modest hit About a Boy (2002). The brothers soon went solo as directors though they kept working together, producing and what not. Their subsequent work didn't capture the zeitgeist in the same way though there were sure-fire sequel hits (Little Fockers, The Twilight Saga: New Moon) a troubled attempted franchise (The Golden Compass) a few well received smaller pictures (A Better Life, Grandma) and an award winning TV series (Mozart in the Jungle). Their next project, their first co-directing gig in ages will be a biopic of their Mexican film star grandmother Lupita Tovar (pictured left) and it sounds just great...

Because of our long running "200 oldest living film stars" list we already knew that the brothers were descended from actresses...

By Christopher James

Which member of the "Death on the Nile" is capable of murder? Only Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) can crack the case.

Who doesn’t love a good murder mystery? Kenneth Branagh returns to fill the shoes (and moustache) of the legendary Agatha Christie character Hercule Poirot in Death on the Nile, which opened in theaters this past weekend. Branagh’s stern detective finds himself aboard a glorious ship, S.S. Karnak, chartered to celebrate the nuptials of Linnet Ridgeway (Gal Gadot) and Simon Doyle (Armie Hammer). Their event is marred by death, and everyone is a suspect.

A murder mystery is only as good as its suspects, and Death on the Nile is bursting with persons celebrities of interest. So which suspects turned up the heat, and which others floundered about? Read for our power rankings of the cast (some spoilers ahead)...

Beauty Break: Channing Tatum for "VMan"

by Nathaniel R

Channing Tatum's tradition (superstition?) of shaving his head between movies is one of our favourite celebrity personality quirks. Because, honestly, who looks better with a shaved head than Tatum? After a long drought where it seemed he was only doing cameos (seriously, when's the last time he led a movie? 2017?) has two comedies out this year Dog (opening this Friday!) and The Lost City with Sandra Bullock (opens March 25th, Oscar weekend). The latter looks like a Romancing the Stone rip-off but if you're going to steal, steal from the best. 

As an added bonus since he's gearing up to shoot Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) he's happy to thirst-trap it up again in this drool-worthy photoshoot for VMan magazine which you can buy here if you want to plaster these all over your walls. The photos are by Inez and Vinoodh. Pictures are after the jump...
