        


<p>The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards drew widespread attention on Sunday night, celebrating the best in television over the past year. Yet amid the glitz and glamour, <strong>several notable omissions in the annual “In Memoriam” segment</strong> sparked disappointment among fans and industry insiders alike.</p>



<p>Among those left out was Tony Todd, the versatile actor whose work spanned nearly four decades across film and television. Best known as the terrifying titular villain in the “Candyman” pictures, <strong>Todd also appeared in a range of beloved TV series.</strong></p>



<p>Todd’s absence did not go unnoticed by those closest to him. <strong>Fatima Cortez Todd, his widow, expressed both frustration and resignation over the snub</strong>, emphasizing the breadth and depth of her husband’s career and his dedication to his craft.</p>



<h2>Widow of Tony Todd Criticizes Emmy Awards for Snubbing Late Actor</h2>



<p>Fatima Cortez Todd didn’t hold back when discussing her late husband’s absence from the Emmys’ “In Memoriam” segment. She acknowledged the disappointment but said she wasn’t entirely surprised. <strong>“Tony had a long list of TV credits, but he was not respected as much by the industry he gave his artistic life,”</strong> she told Entertainment Weekly. According to Fatima, the omission reflects a broader issue with award shows, which often overlook talented artists who deserve recognition.</p>

<p>She painted a picture of an actor who never let the industry’s oversight diminish his passion. “He was classically trained and always given great support by his fans. Ultimately, he gave his all because he loved his work,” she said. Even when he missed out on roles he hoped to land, Todd maintained his generosity of spirit and approached every opportunity with dedication. <strong>“Many times he was told that he should have had a role he didn’t get.</strong> He still maintained his generosity of spirit,” Fatima added.</p>



<p>While Todd is, again, best remembered for his chilling performance in the “Candyman” films, <strong>his television career was extensive and varied.</strong> He brought his talents to iconic franchises such as <strong>“Star Trek,”</strong> portraying multiple characters including Worf’s brother Kurn and an adult Jake Sisko, and even returned years later to voice General Rodek in the MMORPG “Star Trek Online.” He also played two different speaking roles in <strong>“24,”</strong> showcasing his versatility in complex storylines, and appeared in fan-favorite series like <strong>“The Flash,”</strong> where he voiced the villain Zoom across several seasons.</p>



<p>Beyond these headline roles, Todd made recurring and guest appearances on a wide range of shows, from <strong>“Boston Public”</strong> to <strong>“Law and Order, Homicide: Life on the Street,” “Smallville,” “Charmed,” “Psych,” “Criminal Minds,”</strong> and <strong>“Scream: Resurrection.”</strong> He also lent his voice to animated projects like <strong>“Transformers: Prime”</strong> and <strong>“Young Justice,”</strong> proving his ability to excel across mediums and genres. Todd’s career reflected both his classical training and his love of storytelling, whether in front of the camera or behind a microphone.</p>



<p>Fatima’s reflections make clear that Tony Todd’s impact went far beyond the awards circuit. <strong>“The award shows look over many who should be honored. That’s on them,”</strong> she said, emphasizing that his legacy isn’t defined by omissions but by the dedication, artistry, and passion he brought to every role. Her words shine a light on an actor whose contributions to television and film were vast, influential, and deeply appreciated by the fans who admired him most.</p>

<p>Hollywood has lost one of its most influential figures: <strong>Robert Redford has died at 89.</strong> According to his publicist, Cindi Berger, he passed away peacefully at his home in Utah, as reported by The New York Times. </p>



<p>While audiences will remember his unforgettable performances on screen, it was often the choices he made behind the scenes—bold, creative, and meticulous—that truly defined his career. <strong>Here are ten moments that capture the brilliance of Redford at work.</strong></p>



<h2>The Art of Spontaneity</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73287" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert1-1024x576_cca8fc59.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73287" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>On the set of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” Redford preferred to rely on instinct rather than extensive rehearsals, believing that over-practice could sap a scene’s energy. Paul Newman, however, favored more preparation, and Redford ultimately went along out of respect for his co-star.</p>



<h2>Hiding the Hurt</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73292" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert2-1024x576_8352ed24.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73292" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>While filming “The Sting,” Redford was still recovering from a broken right thumb he had injured in a skiing accident months earlier. Rather than let it slow him down, he subtly adapted his movements on camera, holding a fork with only four fingers or using unusual grips to lift objects like his coffee cup.</p>



<h2>A Happy Accident on the Line</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73293" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert3-1024x576_2a8d3568.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73293" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>In “All the President’s Men,” Redford carried an entire six-minute single-take phone conversation, with the camera slowly tracking him throughout. Near the end, he accidentally called the other character by the wrong name, but he stayed completely in character. The moment felt so natural and authentic that the filmmakers kept the take in the final cut.</p>



<h2>Opposites in Harmony</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73294" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert4-1024x576_7fc0711b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73294" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>During the filming of “The Way We Were,” Streisand developed an off-screen crush on Redford, which he noticed but did not reciprocate. Rather than letting it interfere, he chose to quietly pretend he hadn’t noticed, focusing on supporting her performance.</p>



<h2>Diving Into the Action</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73295" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert5-1024x576_7ae6b20e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73295" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>On “Jeremiah Johnson,” Redford embraced the physical challenges of his role, often performing his own stunts whenever it added authenticity to the scene. He said he respected stunt professionals and never attempted dangerous feats they could handle more safely, but he loved the thrill of action that couldn’t be faked on camera. For him, the hands-on experience was part of the fun of filmmaking, bringing an unmistakable realism and energy to the mountain-bound adventure.</p>



<h2>Playing Across Time</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73296" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert6-1024x576_f95af016.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73296" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>In “The Natural,” the story follows Roy Hobbs both as a 19-year-old and as a 35-year-old, but Redford was actually 47 during filming. Despite the age difference, he convincingly portrayed the youthful ambition and later maturity of the character.</p>



<h2>A Winter Wonderland, Carefully Crafted</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73297" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert7-1024x576_e60c66ae.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73297" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Although “Three Days of the Condor” was set in winter, filming took place during autumn, which meant leaves had to be removed from trees and saplings defoliated to create the right seasonal look. As an avid environmentalist, Redford personally checked the process to ensure no damage was done to the plants.</p>



<h2>From Idea to Screen</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73298" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert8-1024x576_209821b4.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73298" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Redford was the driving force behind “The Candidate,” originating the project and shaping its vision from the start. He personally chose Michael Ritchie to direct, valuing his experience as a technical adviser on political campaigns.</p>



<h2>Breaking Out of the Suit</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73299" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert9-1024x576_fc30e50c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73299" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>While playing his character in “Barefoot in the Park,” Redford wasn’t a fan of being confined to a suit and tie all day. Between takes, he’d slip into western boots and a black cowboy hat, injecting a bit of his own personality into the set.</p>



<h2>A Silent Masterpiece</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73300" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250916_SPEN_73265_Robert10-1024x576_f5629c21.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73300" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>“All Is Lost” featured a nearly dialogue-free script of just 32 pages, putting the entire weight of the film on Redford’s performance. He was frustrated by the studio’s lack of awards promotion for both director J.C. Chandor and himself, despite critical acclaim. The experience left a lasting impact, influencing Redford’s decision to take fewer acting roles and gradually prepare for retirement.</p>

Robert Redford dies at 89: Ten Behind-the-Scenes Moments That Show His Genius - Spoiler US



        


<p>Coachella 2026 is shaping up to be unforgettable, as two of K-pop’s most influential acts prepare to take the stage. <strong>SHINee’s Taemin</strong> will take to the stage on <strong>April 11</strong> and <strong>18</strong>, and <strong>BIGBANG</strong> will perform on <strong>April 12</strong> and <strong>19</strong>, bringing their signature energy to the iconic desert festival. With anticipation already building, this edition of the festival is poised to make history.</p>



<h2>Return of the Icons: BIGBANG and Taemin’s Latest Comebacks</h2>



<p>After a four-year hiatus, <strong>BIGBANG made a major splash with their digital single “Still Life” in April 2022</strong>, marking their first comeback as a quartet. The track quickly soared to number one on South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart, securing the group’s record-breaking 11th chart-topper. Its global reach was equally impressive, entering the top 10 on Billboard’s Global 200 and charting across Asia, Australia, and Europe, proving that BIGBANG’s influence remained strong despite years away from the spotlight.</p>



<p>The years following the comeback were full of shifts and speculation. While Daesung and G-Dragon parted ways with YG Entertainment, fans kept a close eye on T.O.P., whose departure from the group was confirmed in 2023. Recently, <strong>speculation has reignited about a possible return</strong>, fueled by G-Dragon’s mysterious hints during concerts and on social media. These cryptic moments have fans buzzing, wondering if the long-awaited full lineup could reunite for Coachella. </p>



<p>Plus, <strong>BIGBANG’s surprise reunion performance at the 2024 MAMA Awards in Osaka</strong> further reinforced their enduring stage presence, with hits like “Bang Bang Bang” and “Fantastic Baby” electrifying the crowd. The group continues to command attention, showing that their legacy in K-pop remains unmatched.</p>



<p><strong>Taemin has also been busy cementing his solo career</strong> while maintaining ties to SHINee. After ending his solo contract with SM Entertainment in March 2024, he signed with BPM Entertainment and released his fifth EP, <strong>“Eternal,”</strong> in August to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his solo debut. The release was accompanied by his world tour <strong>Ephemeral Gaze</strong>, which took him across Asia and concluded in April this year with encore shows in Seoul.</p>



<p>Not slowing down, Taemin launched a Japanese arena tour titled <strong>Veil</strong> this September, alongside a digital single of the same name. Between his tours and solo releases,<strong> Taemin has continued to show his versatility and global appeal. </strong>His recent work sets the stage for what promises to be a highly anticipated Coachella performance, blending years of experience with the artistry fans have come to expect.</p>

<p>Since 2008, when “Iron Man” first hit theaters, <strong>Marvel Studios has built one of the most successful cinematic empires in Hollywood history.</strong> Its interconnected universe turned comic book heroes into household names, drawing record-breaking crowds and redefining what blockbuster storytelling could look like. With each new release, audiences flocked to experience the next chapter, helping the Marvel Cinematic Universe surpass the $29 billion global box office mark and inspiring rival studios to chase their own shared-universe dreams.</p>



<p>For more than a decade, the MCU became synonymous with must-see entertainment, from the early “Avengers” films to cultural milestones like “Black Panther” and the climactic “Endgame.” Fans packed theaters for opening weekends, and actors viewed a Marvel role as a career-making opportunity. Yet in recent years, as the post-Endgame era has unfolded, some in the industry have begun to question whether that unstoppable momentum is starting to fade—<strong>an uncertainty now echoed by agents, executives, and directors across Hollywood.</strong></p>



<h2>Talent Reps Note Fewer Clients Seeking Marvel Casting Opportunities</h2>



<p>Variety tuned in with Hollywood agents, directors, and studio insiders to gauge how the industry is feeling about today’s biggest franchises, and the comments about Marvel were particularly sharp. Once regarded as the ultimate career break, <strong>a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is no longer viewed as the automatic fast track it was just a few years ago. </strong>The shift is not about quality alone but reflects changing audience habits, a crowded release calendar, and a market where even superhero spectacles must fight harder to stand out.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73257" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250915_SPEN_73253_Avengers1-1024x576_462f995f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73257" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>“Joining the MCU is still a crazy, life-changing opportunity,” one veteran talent agent told the outlet,<strong> “but I don’t have as many clients asking to do one as they were five years ago.”</strong> The buzz that once surrounded every casting call has cooled, with actors weighing Marvel commitments against other projects that offer more creative freedom or shorter timelines. </p>



<p>According to several insiders, the studio’s deliberate decision to reduce its annual output in order to steady the brand <strong>has also slowed the sense of constant momentum</strong> that once kept fans and talent alike clamoring for the next chapter.</p>



<p>Executives remain confident about the two upcoming Avengers films, which one described as <strong>“bulletproof,”</strong> but the same enthusiasm does not extend to solo adventures. “The standalone movies are in trouble, <strong>because you feel like you can miss it now,”</strong> said another industry source, noting that box office returns have become far less predictable. A director who has worked within the franchise summed it up bluntly: “Any movie could be huge, <strong>but nothing is close to a guarantee.”</strong></p>

<p>Brazil has officially chosen Kleber Mendonça Filho’s 1970s-set thriller “The Secret Agent” <strong>as its contender for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards.</strong> The Brazilian Film Academy announced the submission today, following a vote by a 15-member committee that weighed the country’s most prominent releases before settling on Mendonça Filho’s politically charged drama.</p>



<h2>‘<span style="color: revert">The Secret Agent’</span> Brings 1970s Brazil to the Big Screen</h2>



<p>Kleber Mendonça Filho’s “The Secret Agent” is a sweeping historical thriller that folds personal tragedy into the political unrest of 1970s Brazil. Set against the waning years of the military dictatorship, the film follows <strong>Armando</strong>, a former teacher turned fugitive, as he tries to escape government persecution. <strong>Wagner Moura</strong> delivers a gripping performance as a man haunted by the past while navigating Recife’s carnival chaos and a network of allies and enemies. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73242" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250915_SPEN_73240_Secret1-1024x576_6763c723.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73242" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Premiering in the main competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, “The Secret Agent” earned rapturous reviews and a <strong>13-minute standing ovation</strong>. Moura won <strong>Best Actor</strong> and Mendonça Filho took home <strong>Best Director</strong>, while the film also collected the Art House Cinema Award and the FIPRESCI Prize. Critics praised its daring blend of political commentary and grindhouse flair, calling it visually arresting and thematically rich. Distribution deals quickly followed, with Neon securing North American rights and MUBI picking up key international territories.</p>



<p>The road to Brazil’s official Oscar submission, however, was anything but smooth. Mendonça Filho had twice been passed over for the country’s Academy Awards entry despite international acclaim, <strong>and rumors swirled that “The Secret Agent” might suffer a similar fate.</strong> In August, whispers of a rival campaign for another film ignited a national debate over merit in the selection process. Public figures and film lovers rallied behind Mendonça Filho, culminating in a wave of support that pressured the Brazilian Film Academy to choose the Cannes favorite. Now slated for a November 6 theatrical release in Brazil, <strong>“The Secret Agent” enters the awards season with formidable momentum</strong>.</p>

<p>When “Cyberpunk 2077” launched in 2020, <strong>it quickly became one of the most talked-about games of the decade. </strong>Set in the sprawling neon-soaked metropolis of Night City, the game immersed players in a world of megacorporations, mercenaries, and high-stakes cybernetic warfare. Despite a rocky release filled with technical issues, it built a passionate fanbase that embraced its ambitious storytelling, branching choices, and unforgettable characters.</p>



<p>Among those characters, none captured the spotlight quite like Johnny Silverhand, whose larger-than-life presence left a lasting mark on players’ experiences. With its mix of dystopian intrigue and raw attitude, “Cyberpunk 2077” has continued to spark discussion years later, keeping fans eager for what’s next. And if recent comments are any indication, <strong>there’s even more reason to look forward—especially when it comes to Johnny’s future.</strong></p>



<h2>Keanu Reeves Is All In on Playing Johnny Silverhand Again</h2>



<p>While promoting his upcoming film “Good Fortune,” Keanu Reeves gave fans of “Cyberpunk” a moment to buzz about. Speaking with IGN, the actor didn’t hesitate when asked about the possibility of reprising his role as Johnny Silverhand in the sequel to CD Projekt’s 2020 game. <strong>“Absolutely. I’d love to play Johnny Silverhand again,”</strong> Reeves said, making it clear that he’s not ready to hang up the digital shades just yet. </p>

Big names in narrative design, including <strong>Anna Megill</strong> (“Control”) and <strong>Alexander Freed</strong> (“Star Wars: The Old Republic”), are on board to help craft the story, giving fans hope for a deeper, more dynamic RPG experience.</p>

<p>As a student, Kim Namjoon poured his thoughts into poetry, earning awards and even sharing his work online for about a year. The recognition he received had him briefly considering a future as a writer, before music took him down a different path.</p>



<h2>Discovering Hip-Hop and Lyricism</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73136" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250912_SPEN_73126_Namjoon3-1024x576_d38a57f6.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73136" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>

<p>At just 11 years old, Namjoon’s love for hip-hop was sparked after hearing Epik High’s “Fly,” a song that gave him comfort and curiosity for the genre. A teacher later introduced him to Eminem, fueling his fascination with wordplay and rhythm. What began as printing out lyrics to share with friends soon evolved into songwriting, as his poetry naturally transformed into rap verses.</p>



<h2>Runch Randa and the Underground Scene</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73137" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250912_SPEN_73126_Namjoon4-1024x576_e81049ab.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73137" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: Rich Fury/Getty Images for The Recording Academy</figcaption></figure>

Known by the stage name Runch Randa, he soon became active in Korea’s underground rap scene, releasing tracks and teaming up with other rising talents like Zico.</p>

<p>Namjoon’s sharp mind matched his talent, with an IQ of 148 and exam scores that placed him among the top 1% of students in South Korea. His parents, hoping he’d follow a traditional academic path, were hesitant about his passion for music. Determined, he persuaded his mother with a simple but powerful question: would she rather have a son who was an ordinary student, or one who could be a number-one rapper?</p>

<p>During his trainee years, Namjoon adopted the stage name Rap Monster, a phrase pulled from lyrics he’d written after being inspired by San E’s “Rap Genius.” While he initially thought the name sounded cool, he later admitted to having mixed feelings about it. In 2017, he officially shortened it to RM, explaining that the simpler version better reflected who he had grown into as an artist and as a person.</p>

<p>In 2009, RM auditioned for Big Deal Records, passing the first round but stumbling in the second. A chance connection with rapper Sleepy led him to audition for Big Hit Entertainment the following year, where 16-year-old RM was immediately offered a spot—without even telling his parents. Over three years of training alongside Suga and J-Hope, he appeared on pre-debut tracks, wrote for the girl group Glam, and honed his skills as a songwriter. On June 13, 2013, he officially debuted as the leader of BTS, beginning a career that would see him shape much of the group’s music.</p>

<p>Polly Holliday, the actress who famously played Flo on “Alice,” <strong>died Tuesday at her Manhattan home at the age of 88,</strong> according to her agent Dennis Aspland, who confirmed the news to The New York Times. Best known for her sharp humor and the catchphrase “Kiss my grits!,” Holliday became one of television’s most memorable supporting stars and left a lasting mark on both screen and stage.</p>



<h2>Polly Holliday’s Remarkable Career</h2>



<p>Born in Jasper, Alabama, in 1937, <strong>Polly Holliday began her artistic journey studying piano at the Alabama College for Women </strong>before discovering a passion for theater<strong>. </strong>She honed her craft with Florida’s Asolo Theatre Company, spending a decade performing in classical productions and earning a reputation for her skill and dedication. Her early stage work laid a solid foundation that would carry her into television and film.</p>



<p>Holliday’s big break came in 1976 when she was cast as Florence Jean “Flo” Castleberry on the CBS sitcom “Alice.” Her portrayal of the sassy, gum-chewing waitress quickly captured audiences, <strong>making Flo one of television’s most iconic supporting characters. </strong>Holliday remained on “Alice” until 1980, later reprising the role in the short-lived spin-off “Flo,” which followed the character’s adventures back in her Texas hometown. Despite its brief run, the series cemented Holliday’s place in pop culture history.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73098" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250910_SPEN_73096_Polly1-1024x576_32391b42.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73098" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Beyond television, Holliday enjoyed a prolific film career, appearing in notable movies such as <strong>“All the President’s Men,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “The Parent Trap,” </strong>and the 1984 horror-comedy <strong>“Gremlins,”</strong> for which she won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress as the memorable Mrs. Ruby Deagle. </p>



<p>She also maintained a strong presence on Broadway, earning a Tony nomination for her performance as Big Mama in <strong>“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”</strong> and starring in revivals of<strong> “Arsenic and Old Lace”</strong> and <strong>“Picnic.” </strong>Her stage work demonstrated the range and depth that complemented her larger-than-life television persona.</p>



<p>Even as her on-screen appearances became less frequent, <strong>Holliday remained active in the arts and her community. </strong>She sang in Episcopal choirs, ran a chamber music series in New York, and continued to engage with theater well into her later years. Her final film credit came in 2010 with “Fair Game,” closing out a remarkable career that spanned more than five decades and left a lasting legacy.</p>

<p>When “Hannibal” premiered on NBC in 2013, <strong>it redefined what network television could achieve within the psychological horror genre.</strong> Developed by Bryan Fuller and based on Thomas Harris’ novels, the series explored the complex and unsettling relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham, played by Hugh Dancy, and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen. Known for its haunting visual style, layered storytelling, and deeply disturbing themes, the show quickly stood out as one of the boldest and most artistically ambitious network dramas of its time.</p>



<p>Although the series lasted only three seasons before its cancellation in 2015, it gained critical acclaim, multiple awards, and a devoted cult following that continues to grow years later. Fans have long hoped for a revival, eager to see these iconic characters return to the screen under Fuller’s vision. Now, nearly a decade after the finale, the creator has sparked new excitement by sharing an idea that could bring fresh life to the story — <strong>and it involves a surprising casting choice.</strong></p>



<h2>Zendaya as Clarice Starling? Bryan Fuller Reveals His ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Fantasy</h2>



<p>During a recent interview with ScreenRant’s at the Toronto International Film Festival, <strong>Bryan Fuller opened up about his creative ambitions</strong> while promoting his new horror film “Dust Bunny,” which stars “Hannibal” alum Mads Mikkelsen. </p>



<p>Naturally, <strong>the conversation turned to his critically acclaimed but short-lived series “Hannibal,”</strong> which has maintained a passionate cult following since its cancellation. Fans have long speculated about a possible continuation, and Fuller didn’t shy away from sharing what his ultimate dream project would look like.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73091" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250910_SPEN_73083_Mads-1024x576_cfa6df69.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73091" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>

<p>When asked about the chances of revisiting the world of “Hannibal,” <strong>Fuller revealed that he envisions a limited series inspired by “The Silence of the Lambs.”</strong> His ideal scenario would see <strong>Mads Mikkelsen</strong> reprising his role as the enigmatic Dr. Hannibal Lecter, while <strong>Zendaya</strong> would take on the iconic role of Clarice Starling. </p>



<p>Fuller explained that, while there are currently no confirmed plans for such a project, it remains at the top of his creative wishlist. “My dream project is to do a limited series of Silence of the Lambs with Mads and Zendaya as Clarice Starling,” he told ScreenRant. <strong>“If I could put anything out into the universe, I would put that into the universe.”</strong> His words have reignited hope within the fandom, many of whom see Zendaya as a perfect fit for the sharp, determined FBI trainee.</p>

<p>After years of anticipation, <strong>“Scary Movie 6” is officially underway. </strong>The project reunites the Wayans brothers for the first time in 18 years, bringing back the creative team that helped define the franchise. Regina Hall and Anna Faris are confirmed to return as Brenda Meeks and Cindy Campbell, reprising their iconic roles in the comedy series.</p>



<p>As excitement builds, fans are eager for any hints about what to expect from the new installment. In an interview with ComicBook to promote his new movie “Him,” Wayans discussed “Scary Movie 6” <strong>and listed some recent hits that could get spoofed in the upcoming sequel.</strong></p>



<h2>I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73069" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Summer-1-1024x576_eaf49298.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73069" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>It’s unclear whether Wayans was referring to the whole “I Know What You Did Last Summer” franchise or just the latest installment, but it’s quite possible he is interested in the newest entry. The 2025 film, the fourth in the slasher series, stars Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, and Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt reprising their original roles as Ray and Julie. Set 27 years after the Tower Bay murders, the story follows a new hook-wielding killer who begins targeting a group of friends after they cover up a deadly car accident.</p>



<h2>Scream (1996-)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73070" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Scream-1024x576_f44e2c07.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73070" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Of course, Wayans seems eager to return to the horror franchise that “Scary Movie” is most associated with. The “Scream” series has remained a defining force in horror for decades, with six films released and a seventh in development. In the most recent installments, returning stars like Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Roger L. Jackson share the screen with newer leads such as Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown, keeping the franchise fresh for a modern audience.</p>



<h2>Heretic (2024)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73071" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Heretic-1024x576_c8853b79.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73071" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Hugh Grant truly delivered a career-turning performance in “Heretic,” and it hasn’t gone unnoticed by Wayans. The tense psychological horror stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as two Mormon missionaries who stumble into the disturbing world of the mysterious Mr. Reed, with Grant’s chilling portrayal earning him nominations at the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice, and BAFTAs.</p>



<h2>Longlegs (2024)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73072" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Longlegs-1024x576_51548c5c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73072" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>“Longlegs” was the definitive horror hit of 2024, making it hard to imagine the upcoming “Scary Movie” ignoring it. Osgood Perkins’s film delivers a chilling thriller, starring Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and Nicolas Cage, and follows an FBI agent tracking a mysterious occultist serial killer responsible for murdering families across Oregon. It has become Neon’s highest-grossing domestic release, the top-grossing independent film of 2024, and the most successful film of Perkins’s career.</p>



<h2>Get Out (2017)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73073" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Get-1024x576_4e9007f5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73073" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>“Get Out” already had plenty of sinister humor, making it an easy target for “Scary Movie 6” to push even further. Jordan Peele’s directorial debut blends psychological horror with sharp social commentary, starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams as a young Black man who uncovers disturbing secrets when visiting his white girlfriend’s family. The film was a major commercial success, grossing $255 million worldwide on a $4.5 million budget, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, with additional nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.</p>



<h2>Nope (2022)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73076" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Nope-1024x576_08287e45.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73076" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Jordan Peele’s sci-fi creation has become somewhat underrated over the years, but with Wayans being a horror fan himself, it’s no surprise he would take it into account. Peele’s third feature film, released in 2022, blends neo-Western, science fiction, and horror elements, following siblings played by Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer who work with horses while trying to capture evidence of a mysterious UFO in Agua Dulce, California. Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, Brandon Perea, and Keith David appear in supporting roles, and the film draws inspiration from classics such as “King Kong,” “Jurassic Park,” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”</p>



<h2>Sinners (2025)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" data-id="73077" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250909_SPEN_73059_Sinners-2-1024x576_eb154083.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-73077" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Source: IMDb</figcaption></figure>
