The ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ actor, 33, whose breakout role came in Channel 4’s teen drama ‘Skins’, co-wrote, directed and stars in his new film, and he has admitted it was quite the "undertaking" and is thankful to every single person who helped make it happen. Speaking to Hey U Guys, he said :"It was a tremendous kind of undertaking. It was very humbling and nourishing at the same time. "I mean, this is my first rodeo, but when you watch something back that you've directed the sheer amount of gratitude that fi...

Movie Rule #28: Never directly reference a movie that is superior to the one we are watching. Dev Patel’s disappointing directorial debut Monkey Man breaks this rule in a very distracting way. In an early scene, the film’s unnamed hero, known only as “Kid” (played by Patel himself), talks his way into the showroom of a black market arms dealer. “You like John Wick?” the salesman smirks as he shows off a handgun like the one Keanu Reeves wields onscreen. Most viewers could have made the comparison to John Wick themselves without the explicit shoutout. Both Wick and Monkey Man are bloody action ...

The ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ actor, 33, whose breakout role came in Channel 4’s teen drama ‘Skins’, co-wrote, directed and stars in his new film ‘Monkey Man’ and he was overcome with emotion as he took to the stage at its showing at SXSW. A video shared by Variety on X showed Dev walking out on stage to a standing ovation – before he put his hand over his heart and put his hands to his face, turned away from the audience and appeared to wipe tears from his eyes. He declared at the showing:...

Jordan Peele has hinted that his next film could be his "favourite movie" if he makes it right. The 'Get Out' director's fourth outing behind the camera has been delayed by the Hollywood strikes but he explained that he is "psyched" to start production on the project later this year. Speaking on the 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend' podcast, Jordan said: "This has been... obviously, it's been an interesting year because the writer's strike had had me in a state of listening, and that's where I need to be. "I do feel like my next project is very clear to me, and I'm psyched that I have another fil...

While the comparison is inevitable, it is certainly a bit unfair to compare Tim Story‘s The Blackening to Jordan Peele‘s Get Out. Both are horror comedies starring black characters and attempt to be both entertaining while also providing social commentary on black identity. While both films obviously have different goals and approaches, it makes sense as to why the two films are being compared. However, while the comparison may be a bit unfair, it is also not unjustifiable either because in terms of being both a horror film and a comedy, Get Out is the superior film that manages to be both mor...

Jordan Peele is "glad" that he didn't direct the 'Akira' remake. The 43-year-old filmmaker was approached by Warner Bros. to direct a live-action remake of Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime but admits that he ultimately declined the offer as he felt he would struggle to faithfully recreate the story. Jordan told the Happy Sad Confused podcast: "It's a project I'm so passionate about. I'm glad I didn't do it because I feel like... staying away from that, trying to interpret that IP just set me on the path to create something new. "But I want to see Neo-Tokyo. I want to see an all-Japanese cast. I wa...

Mia Goth has hit out at the Academy for not recognising horror movies. The 29-year-old actress - who recently starred in slasher flick 'Pearl' and can next be seen in another scary film, 'Infinity Pool' - insisted the Oscars need to "change" because nominations aren't always based on the "quality" of a project, with certain genres routinely ignored. Asked why she thinks horror films are scarcely recognised by the organisation, she told 'Jake's Takes' host Jake Hamilton: "I think that it's very political. "It's not entirely based on the quality of a project per se. There's a lot going on there ...
