For Jennifer Aniston, there were plenty of bad and good parts about breaking up with Brad Pitt back in the day. But since both have moved on since their split, rumors have circulated that they’ve found their way back to each other as friends. However, as platonic as they are, their interactions can occasionally be quite flirtatious if one source is to be believed.

As hurt as Aniston was after her break-up with Pitt, she didn’t want to throw away her bond with the Fight Club star for good. The pair invested too much time with each other for Aniston to end up hating or forgetting about her ex despite their controversy.

“I still feel so lucky to have experienced it.

Brad Pitt has never faced rejection or experienced a studio’s wrath after a critical or commercial dud ever since his big debut in Ridley Scott’s 1991 Oscar-winning film, Thelma & Louise. The actor has only ever climbed the ladder of acclaim and success with films that have time and again redefined the box office with their enduring legacy and audience response.

With films like Fight Club, Troy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Ocean’s trilogy, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Inglourious Basterds, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pitt has made himself a stalwart of the movie industry with a keen eye for projects that are sure to pull crowds into theaters.

However, early on in his career, the Oscar-winning star stumbled upon a great project that will forever make him regret the lost opportunity.

The films of Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos aren't for everyone. They're aggressively uncomfortable, poking and prodding the audience with all manner of shocking content and even more shocking ways of presenting it, but there is a lot to love in his deliciously disturbing filmography. Whether he's working from a screenplay he developed with frequent collaborator Efthimis Filippou or one written by "The Great" creator Tony McNamara, Lanthimos manages to inject his films with his unique vision, using characters that seem totally inhuman to force the audience to contemplate their own humanity. This can lead to his films being a little confusing, and that includes his 2017 thriller "The Killing of a Sacred Deer." 

"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" stars Colin Farrell as heart surgeon Steven Murphy, who develops a bizarre relationship with 16-year-old Martin Lang (Barry Keoghan), whose father died on Steven's operating table. Martin begins to insert himself into the Murphy family,...

Christopher Nolan is returning to cinema and this time he is bringing an epic piece of literature history with him. The film will bring to life the popular poem, Odyssey, written by Homer. The poem revolves around the Trojan War and narrates the story of Odysseus’ journey back home to Ithaka. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is all set to include a stellar cast including one of Hollywood’s favorite couples, Tom Holland and Zendaya.

Now, an industry insider has claimed that the upcoming film will not be as grounded as the other films that have attempted to tell the story of the Trojan War. This might be a good thing for Christopher Nolan who once fell on the bad side of comic book fanatics for making The Dark Knight trilogy grounded.

Christopher Nolan’s next film is reportedly going to be anything...

A few days ago, it was revealed that Christopher Nolan’s next movie will be an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. Universal Pictures announced it as a global action epic using new IMAX technology, set to release on July 17, 2026.

The film features a star-studded cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Production is planned to start in early 2025, with Nolan writing and producing alongside Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner.

The Odyssey is one of the oldest stories still read today. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus on his difficult journey home after the Trojan War.

Industry insider Daniel Richtman shared updates about the movie. He thinks Universal announced the project early to avoid leaks. The film will include big-name stars, with casting news coming soon. Unlike realistic adaptations like Troy, Nolan will focus on the mythical and fantastical parts of The Odyssey,...

A few days ago news broke that Nolan’s mysterious upcoming project is an adaptation of ‘The Odyssey.’ Universal Pictures announced that Christopher Nolan’s next movie is a global action epic based on Homer’s ‘The Odyssey.’ It will use new IMAX technology and hit theaters on July 17, 2026.

The movie already has a star-studded cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Production is expected to begin in early 2025, with Nolan writing and producing alongside Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner.

The Odyssey is making its way to the big screen under the directorial charm of Christopher Nolan in 2026. The Ancient Greek epic tells the story of the King of Ithaca, Odysseus, as he makes his way back to his home after the Sacking of Troy. While it seems to be an odd film for Nolan to dive into, especially given his foray into science fiction and World War II period pieces, there is a reason why the Interstellar and Tenet director might be well-equipped to tell the story after all.

Time has been an important theme in the works of Christopher Nolan, whether it be the non-linearity of it in postmodern narratives, or the nature of time when it comes to human lives The Odyssey tells its story out of order, which might be something right up Christopher Nolan’s alley.

The speculation over Christopher Nolan’s next movie has come to an end. Universal revealed Monday that Nolan will adapt The Odyssey, the epic poem from Homer that follows Odysseus’ journey home after the Trojan war.

“Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘The Odyssey’ is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” said the studio. “The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.”

Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway and Charlize Theron star in the feature.

Nolan has delved with period pieces before, including best picture winner Oppenheimer, which told the story of the creation of the Atomic Bomb, and The Prestige, an adaptation of Christopher Priest’s novel centering on two rival magicians amid the backdrop of 1890s London.

But The Odyssey is a...

Troy Baker has become a staple in the video game industry for decades now. He has captivated gamers with his performances as a diverse array of beloved characters. From his unforgettable portrayal of Joel in The Last of Us to his roles as Sam in Uncharted and various characters in Batman: Arkham series, the list goes on and on forever.

However, despite all the impressive characters he has brought to life, there is one Marvel superhero that Baker is particularly passionate about portraying in a video game: Daredevil. And it’s not just because the hero is a complex character with a rich history, it’s because of how his senses work, especially the fact that he can’t see.

Troy Baker is the most popular and highest-paid voice actor in the gaming industry. He has worked on some of the most widely celebrated video game franchises, including The Last of Us, Death Stranding, and Uncharted. There is bound to be a difference between Baker’s and Pascal’s salaries.

Netflix’s fifth and final original Christmas movie for 2024 is now streaming, and this one is animated. But you’re still going to recognize a whole lot of the cast.

Written and directed by Richard Curtis, who brought fans “Love, Actually,” the film centers on a group of people in a small town in the UK, getting ready to celebrate Christmas. Like “Love, Actually,” the story is told via vignettes, jumping around between different groups and pairings.

And as you meet those groups and pairings, you’re definitely going to recognize some of those voices. Here’s who we have.

The big man himself is voiced by Brian Cox, who you likely know from his time on “Succession,” or films including “X2: X-Men United,” “Troy,” “Red,” “Zodiac” and “Trick ‘r Treat,” among many others.

Paramount+ is preparing to air a fascinating six-part psychological drama called “Little Disasters,” based on Sarah Vaughan’s bestselling novel. Diane Kruger leads a star-studded cast in the series, which looks at the fragile relationships of friendship and the enormous pressures of parenting.

The story revolves around Jess, played by Kruger, a mother whose life spirals after her baby suffers a strange head injury. Her best friend Liz, an emergency room doctor, faces a difficult professional decision: whether to report Jess to social services. This watershed moment sparks a dramatic exploration of trust, devotion, and the hidden struggles of parenthood.

Director Eva Sigurdardottir described Kruger’s performance as “intelligent and dynamic.” She said that Kruger contributed “unexpected depth” to the character, creating a “warmly relatable and hauntingly thrilling representation.”

The drama features a strong ensemble cast, including Stephen Campbell Moore, Jo Joyner, Shelley Conn, Emily Taaffe, JJ Feild, and Ben Bailey Smith.

Exclusive: Here are a couple of exclusive images of Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger in buzzy Paramount+ series Little Disasters.

Cannes Award-winning actor Kruger plays Jess in the adaptation of the Sarah Vaughan novel. When she takes her baby daughter to hospital with a head injury that she can’t explain, her close friend and on-duty A&e doctor Liz must make the excruciating decision of whether to call social services on her longtime friend. This decision sets in motion a chain of events that show how one moment can fracture and nearly destroy entire families and friendships. The show also stars Jo Joyner, Patrick Baladi (Ted Lasso), Shelley Conn, Emily Taaffe, JJ Feild, Ben Bailey Smith and Stephen Campbell Moore.

Kruger has had far more movie roles than TV but she did play Detective Sonya Cross in FX’s version of The Bridge last decade. The German actor, who broke out in 2004’s epic war film Troy, was described as an “intelligent and dynamic actress, whose sheer presence brings with it a unique quality that leaves you inspired” by Little Disasters director Eva Sigurdardottir.

“Attaching Diane allowed me to explore sides of Jess’ character in deeper ways than I had anticipated,” she added. “Little Disasters is a story of a warm and loving mother who is hiding a dark secret, and Diane navigated that character so elegantly, with relatable and warm performances, as well as truly haunting and thrilling moments.”

That relatability attracted Sigurdardottir to Little Disasters, she told us, along with a “tension and thriller engine rooted in very relatable and familiar domestic settings.”

“I am a filmmaker who is drawn to brutally real and gritty stories, and here we had a glamorous and aspirational setting, yet with a terrifying central conflict – a hurt child,” she added.

Marianna Abbotts is exec producing for Big Boys producer Roughcut TV, which has recently moved into drama. She said she “fell in love with” Vaughan’s novels after reading Anatomy of a Scandal. “Sarah often writes about professional women who are forced to make impossible decisions. At the heart of Little Disasters is a really difficult moral dilemma when one friend is forced to call social services on another,” she added.

To aid with tackling these sensitive topics, the Roughcut team worked closely with Vaughan along with multiple advisors. “We wanted to portray the issues in the book accurately and it was extremely important to get that right,” said Abbotts. “We consulted medical, police and social service advisers who guided us with accuracy and sensitivity while understanding the need to tell a dramatic story.”

Little Disasters is a six-part series for Paramount+ UK and Ireland. Ruth Fowler and Amanda Duke adapted the series for the screen with Roughcut Television EPs Ash Atalla, Alex Smith and Abbotts on board alongside Vaughan. Simon Judd EPs for Fremantle, Sigurdardottir is the director and Myf Hopkins serves as the producer. The series was commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell and Paul Testar and will premiere next year. Fremantle is handling global sales.

Few stories have been reimagined, relitigated, reframed, and remade as much as those from Greek myth and poetry, and of these, The Odyssey is a usual suspect. From the Coen brothers’ jailbreak flick O Brother, Where Art Thou? to James Joyce’s infamously dense Ulysses, this Homeric epic’s influence has reverberated through the ages.

Troy Baker, one of gaming’s most recognizable voices, is stepping into the shoes of an icon this December with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Baker is a veteran voice actor, known for iconic roles in The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite. Now he faces the task of portraying the legendary adventurer.

But how does he do it without merely imitating the essence of Harrison Ford? As Baker prepares for the game’s December release, he discusses the pressures, regrets, and lessons learned from this transformative journey. He talks about why he stopped trying to be Ford and instead focused on being Indiana Jones.

“Gladiator II” is set in Ancient Rome and North Africa, but where was the Ridley Scott epic actually filmed?

Like the first film, portions were shot in Morocco and Malta, while director Ridley Scott also filmed key scenes in his native England.

Here’s where Rome, the Colosseum and the African kingdom of Numidia were created, some on locations used by Scott in previous films.

The arena where Lucius (Paul Mescal) fights Marcus Acacius (Pedro Pascal) was rebuilt in Fort Ricasoli in Kalkara, Malta, the same location that was used in the first “Gladiator.” The fort, which was built in the 17th century by the Order of St John, was also used in “Troy” and “Napoleon.”

While “Wicked” looks to earn one of the best opening weekends of the year, Paramount is hoping to entertain the masses in its own way with “Gladiator II,” Ridley Scott’s legacyquel to his 2000 Best Picture winner. It marks the return of a type of film once thought to be extinct: the sword-and-sandal epic.

The original “Gladiator” starred Russell Crowe as a Roman general reduced to life as a gladiator as he seeks to avenge his wife and child who were slain at the hands of a corrupt emperor. It was part of a history of ancient civilization films that peaked in the 50s with films like “The Ten Commandments” and “Ben-Hur” but persisted into the 2000s with films like “Alexander,” “Troy,” and “300” before ceding the cultural spotlight to comic books and sci-fi franchises.

Nearly a quarter-century later, the return of “Gladiator” marks the return of sword-and-sandals for the first time in a generation.

Let’s be honest—Brad Pitt and shirtless scenes are a match made in Hollywood heaven. From Fight Club to Troy, the dude has turned taking his shirt off into an art form. But here’s the kicker: one of his most legendary shirtless moments almost got ruined by none other than Quentin Tarantino.

We’re talking about that unforgettable scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where Brad’s Cliff Booth climbs on Rick Dalton’s roof and strips off his Champion T-shirt like it’s just another hot day in LA. The thing is, Tarantino had his ideas about how this moment should go down—and he almost screwed it up.

At various turns in the movie - Maximus gaining the upper hand in a fight, a popular line being delivered - a crowd of a thousand strangers would cheer and holler. Historical epics are films with the highest of stakes, torture or death to the protagonist or their family. Their storylines are primal and visceral. When an older woman passing through the park asked me what the film was about before the film began, I put some thought into my second answer (my first led to her thinking it was an...

How many times have we written about Mahershala Ali’s upcoming Blade movie? Who knows! In our previous reports, we highlighted the film’s uncertain development and warned that it might end up in developmental hell, despite reassurances from those involved.

Then, it happened. Marvel officially removed Blade from its release schedule, which was originally set for November 2025, and no new release date was given. This means the movie is officially in developmental hell. Fans were hit hard by this news, as it was their biggest fear.

However, not everything is as bleak as it seems. A new rumor suggests that Mahershala Ali recently met with Marvel about the movie. He reportedly agreed with the delay and is still satisfied with how the project is progressing, even if it feels like it’s not moving forward at all.

How many times have we written about Mahershala Ali’s upcoming Blade movie? Who knows. But in our earlier reports, we always stressed the fact that the movie was in a very uncertain development phase and that the likelihood of it ending up in developmental hell was big despite everyone involved trying to convince us otherwise.

And then that happened. Marvel officially removed Blade from its release schedule (it was set for a November 2025 release), and we did not get a new release date, which means that the movie is officially in developmental hell.

This news hit the fans very hard, as the thing they feared the most – happened.

Prior to the Oscar race of 2025, Brad Pitt is making headlines for reportedly supporting Nicole Kidman, to get back at his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. But while his sudden support for Kidman is raising eyebrows, insiders spilled to In Touch Weekly that Pitt’s compassion for the Big Little Lies star isn’t something new.

Stating how Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman used to be good friends during the early 90s, sources claimed that the actress’ association with Tom Cruise is what got in the way. Stating how Pitt had an alleged feud with Cruise, Kidman’s marriage to the latter thus affected her friendship with the Fight Club star.

Back in the glory days of Thursday night TV, Community wasn’t just a sitcom—it was a deliciously meta-wrecking ball to the whole genre.

Ah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when it comes to Brad Pitt, it seems the whole world is beholding! With a jawline that could cut glass and a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms, this actor, 60, is often crowned the reigning king of Hollywood handsomeness. He’s not just a pretty face; he’s a cinematic chameleon, effortlessly charming audiences in iconic roles like Fight Club and Ocean’s Eleven.

It’s no surprise that his fan club is overflowing with admirers, and let’s be honest, the ladies are not alone in their swooning. His allure has even made grown men weak at the knees! British-Irish comedian Jimmy Carr once found himself caught in the throes of admiration, jokingly admitting he couldn’t tear his gaze away from Pitt, even with Angelina Jolie by the latter’s side.

Coheed and Cambria are hitting the high seas once again in 2025, as the band has announced the return of their S.S. Neverender festival cruise.

The five-day journey is dubbed “Good Apollo, We’re Boating to Cozumel: Mmxxv,” celebrating the 20th anniversary of Coheed’s seminal album, Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One. It sets sail from Miami on November 8th aboard the Norwegian Jewel, visiting Cozumel, Mexico, and returning to port on the 13th.

Once again the S.S. Neverender features a musical lineup headlined by Coheed and Cambria, plus notable bands such as Thursday and L.S. Dunes (the supergroup featuring members of both Coheed and Thursday). Other acts on the bill include The Dear Hunter, Hail the Sun, Illuminati Hotties, Meet Me @ The Altar, The Fall of Troy, Puddles Pity Party, Pool Kids, Zulu, Kaonashi, The Callous Daoboys, and Codeseven. More acts are to be announced.

“More effort than it’s worth” possibly represents the harshest 5 words that can be strung together in the English language. For a film, that statement guarantees an immediate death sentence. In the case of Antonio Banderas’ The 13th Warrior, it spelled the extinction of an entire genre: the Muslim hero archetype.

In the film’s critical and commercial failure, Antonia Banderas finds a sense of comfort and familiarity with his daughter Dakota Johnson whose 2024 film, Madame Web went through somewhat of a similar treatment. Both films represent a central character destined for a greater purpose who is uprooted from their established life and thrown into a mission against a foreign enemy.

The similarity between the two films is more than skin-deep. Both films also burned millions of dollars...

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie officially separated in 2016 after ten years of being together and two years of marriage. The divorce was reportedly finalized in 2019. The two A-listers have made the news for their careers and their personal lives, and have constantly commanded millions in salaries.

Pitt and Jolie are still some of the highest-paid actors in the industry, with the Se7en star recently earning his highest payday for Wolfs with George Clooney. Jolie has been one of the highest-paid actresses in the world and will next be seen in Pablo Lorrain’s Maria. Here is a comparison of the two stalwarts’ net worth.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are easily two of the biggest names in Hollywood. They are, in fact, the personification of the word. You cannot possibly think of Tinseltown and not talk about the two most important residents in it. It is a damn shame that they haven’t starred alongside each other since 1994’s classic, Interview with the Vampire, owing to the reported feud between them.

Fans and media have been speculating about the animosity between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt since time immemorial. According to the Troy actor, the two of them are like the North Pole and the South Pole. Insiders have also talked about their feud time and again, but it looks like Tom Cruise might not really feel too ill towards his former co-star.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt’s Age-Old “Rivalry...

George Clooney has a taunting offer for former President Donald Trump.

After the Wolfs star wrote a headline-making op-ed in July calling for President Joe Biden to drop his 2024 re-election bid, something Biden later did, Trump criticized Clooney in a post on his Truth Social network, saying in part that “fake movie actor” Clooney should “get out of politics and go back to television.”

On Tuesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Clooney responded to Trump’s suggestion.

“I will if he does,” Clooney said. “That’s a trade-off I’d do.”

Kimmel even suggested that Clooney write another essay urging Trump, the current Republican presidential nominee, to drop his bid, since it “worked once. Why not try it again?”

Clooney also poked fun at Trump later when Kimmel pointed out how he often works with his friends on films, like Wolfs, which he stars in with longtime pal and fellow A-lister Brad Pitt.

Fifteen years ago, the single most streets-ahead sitcom in American television history made its NBC debut — if only the movie wasn’t still frustratingly streets behind.

Despite teetering on the edge of collapse and cancellation for most of its original run, Dan Harmon’s meta-comedy masterpiece Community still has one of the most reliable and enduring fanbases of any comedy series on the internet, even nine years after the last episode hit streaming. Ever since Abed first uttered the words “six seasons and a movie” in the Season Two episode “Paradigms of Human Memory” when talking about the then-recently cancelled and not-nearly-as-loved NBC action-drama The Cape, the resilient Community fandom has continued to hold out hope that their own series will actualize such a perfect send-off, and with the Peacock-produced Community movie set to start production any decade now, that dream has never felt more real.

Harmon first introduced NBC...

The success of Minority Report in 2002 was a signifier of the highly profitable creative and business relationship between Tom Cruise, the biggest movie star in Hollywood, and Steven Spielberg, the greatest director the industry has ever known. 3 years later, War of the Worlds proved that theory right when it united the actor-director duo for a live-action adaptation of H.G. Wells’ sci-fi classic.

Unfortunately, the alien invasion movie marked the last time Cruise and Spielberg would ever work together since the actor’s on-air meltdown during the Matt Lauer interview and his couch-jumping proclamation of love on Oprah severed their well-balanced working relationship.

Decades later, as the dust settles and past truths come to light, it seems there was a slight possibility of a third Cruise-Spielberg project that became one of the greatest movies never made.

Tom Cruise & Steven Spielberg’s Unrealized...

For decades, Jennifer Aniston has graced our screens with her stunning fashion sense and trend-setting hairstyles. However, long after her time on the hit sitcom, Friends, came to an end, the actress proved that she is more than her on-screen personality. In fact, the star had even shared the stage with her ex Brad Pitt, before their unfortunate split back in 2005. The collaboration had left fans gushing, but the actress did not reveal her thoughts on it until years later.

Although the situation between them changed once the Troy actor met Angelina Jolie, the 55-year-old still only had great things to say about her former partner.

Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey are foundational works of Western literature, yet they are seldom adapted for the screen today. The Iliad was last made into a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster in 2004’s “Troy.” But you must go back to 1954 to find an equivalent for The Odyssey in “Ulysses” starring Kirk Douglas. Since then, The Odyssey has had some notable television adaptations: 1968’s Italian production “Odissea” (with Bekim Fehmiu and Irene Papas), 1997’s American production “The Odyssey” and 2013’s French production “Odysseus”.

When he introduced the world premiere of “The Return” at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday night, director Uberto Pasolini pointed out that nobody has made a film adaptation of Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey” since 1955, when Italian director Mario Camerini made a version with Kirk Douglas as Odysseus. He skipped over a couple of other versions as well as works by Theo Angelopoulos and the Coen brothers that borrowed elements from Homer’s tale, but the point remains: One of the first great works of Western literature is not marketable IP these days.

But it’s still a hell of a tale, as “The Return” proves. The film leaves out the first two-thirds of the book, the part that includes the cyclops and the Sirens and the six-headed sea monster and lots of meddling by the gods. Instead, it sticks with the final section in which Odysseus returns...

2073, writer-director Asif Kapadia’s sui generis feature, is nothing if not ambitious. It offers viewers a numbingly bleak vision of the future 51 years from now, illustrated by a fictional framing device starring Samantha Morton, then explains how things got/will get that bad through actual recent archival footage and original interviews with an assortment of thinkers, journalists and activists. By comparison, George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel 1984 looks as jolly as a Peppa Pig picture book.

You can’t help but admire Kapadia’s commitment to feel-bad cinema, his refusal to end on any false note of hope. It’s all part of a deliberate strategy, according to an interview in the film’s press notes, to motivate the audience to do something, anything, to stop all this happening. But given how sinister the forces sowing the seeds of our future destruction are — rising autocracy, unregulated technology and looming climate...

We’ve long been in the midst of a reimagining of Greek myth — these can be conscious of the original setting of the stories of Hesiod and Homer, as is from Emily Wilson’s searing translation of “The Iliad,” as well as the somewhat less faithful raft of novels taking marginalized characters in Greek myth as their protagonists and the platforming perfection of “Hades.” But likewise, the jazz funeral that is “Hadestown,” the apotheosis of fanfic and webcomics that is “Lore Olympus,” and now, several different films and TV shows all play with the Greek gods using bits of our own contemporary context.

The latest entry in the pantheon, Charlie Covell’s “Kaos,” has a surface layer of Gen-z hedonism in its look and style — Zeus (Jeff Goldblum) in a tracksuit, throwing tantrums in a golden palace. But the idea of the Greek Gods as disappointing dads in Hawaiian shirts...

The success and popularity of the One Piece Live Action was unexpected, given the live action curse in the anime industry. It defied expectations, maintaining the top position on Netflix, weeks after its release. Fans got to see many new faces portraying their favorite One Piece characters, especially the actors who played the Strawhats. These actors did a great job at bringing the characters to life without making their performances seem caricature-like.

The success of the live-action must have reflected well on the careers of the cast and their net-worth. After the release of the Netflix series, the actors’ net-worth must have skyrocketed. However, there was one side actor in the One Piece Live Action, whose net-worth was more than both Iñaki Godoy and Emily Rudd combined before the show aired.

Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 peplum film "Troy" told the age-old tale of the Trojan War but with a realistic sheen. In Homer's worn old rendition of "The Iliad," the gods played a major role in the outcome of the war between Troy and the Achaeans, and they regularly appeared on the battlefield alongside the story's many human warriors. The bulk of "The Iliad," as any 10th grader can tell you, focuses on the wrathful Achilles, the greatest Achaean warrior who refused to fight after his lover, Patroclus, was killed. His participation was key, as the war was drawing to a close, and the Achaeans were close to victory. As we all know, they ultimately infiltrated the walls of Troy using a large wooden horse with soldiers hidden inside.

Achilles was said to be invulnerable after his mother, Thetis, dipped him in the waters of the River Styx when he was an infant.

There’s no denying that Brad Pitt got to explore many facets of his film career. He got to be in big blockbusters with movies like Troy, Fight Club and the Ocean’s Eleven franchise. He got to be in more independent, director-driven films with Babel and The Tree of Life. He got to be in movies that satisfied both categories like his Tarantino outings, Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He even got to be in a Marvel film as a superhero with the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in Deadpool 2.

Pitt reunites with his Ocean’s co-star George Clooney in the upcoming Jon Watts crime comedy film Wolfs and in a recent GQ interview, he admits he feels like his movie career may be on its “last leg.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Pitt explained, “I meant that as seasons. You know, there was moving out from the safety of the Ozarks.

For a pair once known as the most widely shipped power couples of all time, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are going through a lot more than just a “rough patch.” While their ongoing messy and incredibly lengthy divorce war is one thing, what further has them constantly stealing the spotlight is their seemingly never-ending fight over their assets and properties.

That being said, recent reports are claiming that vengeance has reportedly seeped into Pitt’s heart while fighting this legal battle with his former wife. This comes after one crucial act from the Fight Club actor’s legal team seems to have sent Jolie on a wild goose chase after documents that the source claims even Pitt believes won’t be able to stand in court.
