EXCLUSIVE: Rapman utilized a superpower of his own — one that didn’t require him to don figure-hugging spandex tights and a cape — to survive the setbacks he encountered making the earthshaking new Netflix drama Supacell that began streaming Thursday.

Playing Anastasia Steel in Fifty Shades of Grey elevated Dakota Johnson‘s star power to the next level, and she faced stiff competition to land the role.

Jeremy Allen White will soon be swapping his chef’s knife for a guitar pick. “The Bear” star is set to portray Bruce Springsteen in “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the 20th Century Studios movie about the making of the rock legend’s 1982 album, “Nebraska.” At the Season 3 red carpet premiere of “The Bear” on Tuesday night, White revealed to Variety‘s Marc Malkin that he hasn’t met Springsteen yet. “We’ve communicated a little bit through some other people, but I hope this still all comes together,” White said.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is looking ahead as it prepares to honor the star-studded Class of 2025.

EXCLUSIVE: Andrew McCarthy‘s Hulu documentary Brats has brought back memories of the coming of age film where The Brat Pack was coined. Deadline can reveal that Sony is exploring the possibility of making a new version of St. Elmo’s Fire. This version would hinge on reuniting original cast members McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham.

A man from Middleton attacked his own dad as he slept leaving him with a broken jaw. Mark Meredith, who had been drinking, set on his own father as he lay snoozing on a sofa, grabbing hold of him violently and he fell hitting his head on a brick wall.

King Charles has been unable to forgive his estranged son for the tell-all book’s revelations.“I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla,” Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News.“There’s no criticism of Camilla,” he said. “And unfortunately for Harry… Harry said some pretty devastating things about her.

Editor’s Note: Journalist David Blum might have forever coined The Brat Pack era, but it was Carl Kurlander who provided the reason the infamous New York article got written. St. Elmo’s Fire was a script Kurlander wrote with director Joel Schumacher, inspired by events in his life. Now an academic, Kurlander has written several guest columns for Deadline including a 35th anniversary remembrance of St. Elmo’s Fire. Why is he tapping again into those memories? He just watched Brats, the Hulu documentary that premiered at Tribeca, directed by and starring Andrew McCarthy. He was part of the St. Elmo’s Fire ensemble that felt maligned by a mag article published the week before the film was released and became a surprise hit. Here, Kurlander supplies some great dish — did you know Demi Moore‘s drug demons almost forced Joel Schumacher to replace her with the young singer Madonna? Or that Georgetown shunned the movie for immoral activity but OK’d The Exorcist because despite the vile goings on involving a possessed child, evil didn’t win? A little of that stuff would have helped McCarthy’s docu, which gets tedious as he attempts to expunge demons, even as cohorts like Moore, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy seem to be humoring him on camera. After all, that film launched fine futures for them, even if the moniker stung. McCarthy paints journo Blum as a villain, but in fairness, The Brat Pack was a far more clever coinage than putting “gate” on the end of every scandal since Watergate. Blum also unwittingly etched into permanent Hollywood history the memory of those actors when they were young and gorgeous. Who wants to be forgotten?

A man who has worked all his life has revealed just how easy it was to become homeless aged 65. Gary Evans gave up his private rental flat of 13 years for a new job as a live-in carer in October 2023.

Michael Nordine For viewers of a certain age — or, perhaps more likely at this point, most ages — the term “Brat Pack” evokes nostalgia at its fondest. Movies like “The Breakfast Club” and “Pretty in Pink” remain rites of passage for teenagers coming of age nearly 40 years later, and few would argue that the 1980s didn’t represent a high-water mark for teen movies.

Rob Lowe said that he was interested in seeing Zac Efron play him in a possible biopic in the future. But is Zac interested in accepting the role?

new Brat Pack documentary on Hulu, Andrew McCarthy, 61, confronted writer David Blum, 68, about how he coined the now-iconic group title in a notorious New York Magazine cover story from 1985.At the time, Blum was doing a piece on Emilio Estevez and joined him on a night out in LA with other actors including Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson.

“Brat Pack” – a collection of popular young actors in the 1980s — have made it clear that they weren’t, and in some cases, still aren’t, fans of the group nickname.The phenomenon started with the 1985 New York magazine cover by David Blum. He had a night out in Los Angeles with Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson, and decided to coin the now-iconic phrase which was inspired by the “Rat Pack,” a group of entertainers (including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) from the 1940s and 1950s.Estevez, Lowe, Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy make up the Brat Pack, as they all appeared in the ensemble of classic ‘80s films such as “St.

Just before the credits roll on “Brats,” McCarthy, who wrote, directed and stars in the project, is standing on a dock and answers a phone call.“Hello?

Turns out there wasn’t a whole lot of prettiness behind the scenes of one famous movie filmed during the prominent “Brat Pack” era.Jon Cryer, who starred in the 1986 film “Pretty in Pink,” revealed that he and co-star Andrew McCarthy did not get along off-camera. McCarthy has assembled several members of the group, including Cryer, to appear in his upcoming documentary “Brats,” which examines the significance of the “Brat Pack.”McCarthy, along with several other budding actors in the ’80s, like Cryer, Demi Moore and Rob Lowe, were dubbed the “Brat Pack,” a group of young actors that frequently collaborated in films like “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles.”“When we had done ‘Pretty in Pink’ together, we did not get along because he was a d—,” Cryer said of McCarthy during a Q&A session at the Tribeca Film Festival, as reported by People magazine.“That’s very true,” McCarthy admitted.
