How ‘Deep Cover’ Went From Dead Script to Emmy Hopeful

How ‘Deep Cover’ Went From Dead Script to Emmy Hopeful

Published by Daniella Wilson

It has been 16 years since writers Colin Trevorrow and longtime collaborator Derek Connolly wrote the action comedy Deep Cover. Nearly two decades later, it’s now in the running for an Emmy nomination for outstanding television movie. “Deep Cover was initially set in America,” explains Trevorrow of the Amazon Prime Video flick that takes place in London. “We were about to give up on it. We both went on and did other things. Many years later, I asked our producer, Walter F. Parkes, if I could bring it over to the U.K., where I have lived for almost 10 years.” Once he got the green light, British writers Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen came on board to “rebuild it.” Deep Cover sees Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed play a trio of improv actors recruited by the police to infiltrate a gang in London’s criminal underworld. However, things get out of control pretty fast. The film’s supporting cast boasts Paddy Considine (MobLand, House of the Dragon), Ian McShane (John Wick, Deadwood) and Sean …

Crossfire, the Debut Game From That’s No Moon, Seeks to Revolutionize Cover Shooters

Crossfire, the Debut Game From That’s No Moon, Seeks to Revolutionize Cover Shooters

Published by skeptic

Going back to play games released decades ago is a quaint experience, looking back at simpler mechanics and level designs, marveling at how far we’ve come. If developer That’s No Moon’s ambitions prove true, its new game, Crossfire, will have us looking at old cover shooters the same way. That’s No Moon revealed Crossfire at Summer Game Fest 2026’s trailer showcase — and yes, it is set in the same universe as the 2007 first-person shooter of the same name that was popular in South Korea and China. But the new version is a radical departure, ditching Counter-Strike-style team competition for a narrative-heavy single-player journey. Judging by the new technology the studio is debuting in the game, there’s far more than a novel story awaiting players. I joined other media in a visit to That’s No Moon’s office just north of Los Angeles International Airport. Part desk-filled work corral for the LA-based chunk of the roughly 230-person staff, part performance-capture studio for the stars of its game, the space feels functional but beloved. Facing the …

Why Are There Three Men—and No Charli—on Charli xcx’s ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ Album Cover?

Why Are There Three Men—and No Charli—on Charli xcx’s ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ Album Cover?

Published by Sam Flores

This morning, Charli xcx revealed the cover art for her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, the much-anticipated follow-up to the zeitgeist-altering Brat. True to form, the image is nowhere near what one would expect from a world-famous pop star. Namely, it does not feature the star in question. Rather than merely a stylish shot of Charli, the photograph by Aidan Zamiri figures musician John Cale, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, and film director Martin Scorsese, three men who in some capacity epitomize their respective fields. Fans, and perhaps everyone else at this point, might recall that Charli was also absent from the cover of Brat, which consisted of the word in black lettering over a pungent green background. The cover for Music, Fashion, Film is a refinement of this very same concept, which affirms not only that there are myriad ways of illustrating an album idea outside of the go-to glamour shot—the lo-fi rebelliousness of the Brat cover was the best harbinger for the energy the album would come to encapsulate—but that, in the age of …

Trump’s health report ‘too good to be true’ as doctors sound alarm over ‘cover up’ | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

Trump (Image: Getty) US President Donald Trump’s health report is “too good to be true”, doctors have stunningly claimed. President Donald Trump underwent a medical assessment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last Tuesday, describing it as a “six-month physical”. Following the appointment, he took to social media to declare that he had passed with flying colours, insisting that “everything checked out perfectly”. The White House took an unusually long time to release the results of the check-up, sparking renewed speculation about the 79-year-old President’s health. Trump has faced mounting scrutiny in recent months over bruising visible on his hands, swelling in his ankles and claims from critics that his mental sharpness may be deteriorating. “There is no reason for withholding the President’s medical results unless there is something the American public is not being told,” said Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist who previously served as physician to former Vice President Dick Cheney.

I Was the Face of New York Magazine’s Controversial, Andrew Cunanan–Inspired “Trophy Boys” Cover Story

I Was the Face of New York Magazine’s Controversial, Andrew Cunanan–Inspired “Trophy Boys” Cover Story

Published by Sam Flores

In the summer of 1997, I found myself on the cover of New York magazine, lying by a pool with a cocktail in my hand, next to the headline “Trophy Boys.” Even now, nearly 30 years later, it’s a sentence that feels surreal to write. I was not a model, and certainly not the type of person who expected to ever be photographed shirtless for a major magazine. But that August, I ended up at the center of a controversial story about beauty, fashion, desire, money, and danger. Looking back, the article said as much about the culture at the time as it did about me. The cover story, written by Eric Konigsberg and Maer Roshan, was born out of a cultural panic widely reported at the time. As the media narrative went, a 27-year-old gay serial killer named Andrew Cunanan had murdered five wealthy gay paramours, the last of whom was the fashion designer Gianni Versace. (In retrospect, it has been reported that only one victim, who was not Versace, was confirmed to have …

Some See White Livestreamer’s Freedom of Speech Claims as Cover for Race-Baiting

Some See White Livestreamer’s Freedom of Speech Claims as Cover for Race-Baiting

Published by Sam Flores

A shooting involving a white livestreamer known for filming himself provoking people with racist words that left a Black man wounded has reignited debate over freedom of speech and content creators who monetize hate-filled interactions. As more users of livestreaming social media platforms find being performative with bigoted language can draw big bucks, the line is blurring between freedom of expression and freedom for people to feel safe. Even within livestreaming communities, some assert they have a right to say whatever and earn revenue while others support having boundaries. Racial justice advocates worry throwing money into the equation will only heighten and normalize racist antics. As for regulation, it can feel lawless out on the social media landscape. It is often left up to platforms to self-regulate and hold users accountable for obscene and abusive words. But, experts say, at some point laws for offline behavior can trump online freedoms. Eatherly, 28, and the victim got into a “physical altercation that escalated to gunfire,” the local sheriff’s office said. A witness described the man, who …

Esquire’s 2015 profile on Teller began with the journalist “trying to figure out if he’s a d***” during their conversation before determining a few paragraphs later that, despite his charm, he was “kind of a d***.” At the time, the actor — who was quickly rising to fame after the success of Whiplash and Divergent — issued a statement in response to the profile saying: “I don’t think there’s anything cool or entertaining about being a d*** or an asshole.” Over 10 years later, the 39-year-old actor told IndieWire at the Cannes Film Festival that the …
