Sean Ellis’s sixth feature, following the deliriously atmospheric 19th-century vampire movie Eight for Silver (2021), is yet another curveball from the criminally underrated British director. Titled The Cut, it is the story of a past-his-prime boxer who goes behind his wife Caitlin’s back to accept a lucrative comeback fight in Las Vegas. But this is not yet another Rocky-style underdog story, the kind that culminates in the ring.

The Peacock limited series “Fight Night,” adapted by creator Shaye Ogbonna (“The Chi”) from the 2020 podcast of the same name, is a welcome break from this status quo, using a fateful evening in 1970 to explore Atlanta’s rise as a center of Black culture and prosperity — even if some of the architects of that ascent were less-than-savory characters.

Speaking to People magazine for a new cover story, Keaton said that he plans to change his official acting credit to something that’s closer to his birth name, Michael Douglas.

Patrick Corcoran Will the industry draw the right lessons from this summer’s successes and failures? It’s a tradition at the end of the summer to opine on lessons learned about what kinds of movies worked and why, and to extrapolate from that “what audiences want.” This focus is always too narrow and tries to prove too much. It also drives a mad chase after what worked or didn’t work in this season as markers for what will or won’t work in the future.
