The Arrow series is undoubtedly one of the best superhero Television series that became the originator of the Arrowverse. It revolves around Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy who assumes the vigilante persona to fight crime and corruption in the city.
Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow
While avid fans are well aware that Stephen Amell became the face of the DC Comics character Green Arrow there, many would be surprised to know that Justin Hartley, who portrayed the character in Smallville, was never considered for the role in the Arrowverse.
Smallville‘s Oliver Queen Actor, Justin Hartley Was Not Even an Option for Arrow
Long before Stephen Amell portrayed Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in the Arrow series, Justin Hartley was the one playing the role in Smallville. The latter was introduced in Smallville Season 6 as a recurring character who became a catalyst in Clark Kent (Tom Welling) fulfilling his destiny.

Madonna and Marilyn Monroe would be compared to each other no matter what, simply because they are two of the biggest female celebrities ever. On the other hand, some fans claim that the similarity between the Material Girl and the Some Like It Hot star goes deeper than that. Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, had a different take on the situation.
Madonna’s brother said she’s not ‘self-destructive’ like Marilyn Monroe
Monroe’s influence can be seen throughout Madonna’s career. The “Like a Virgin” singer based her video for “Material Girl” on a scene from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, one of Monroe’s most famous films. Monroe is also one of several Hollywood stars mentioned in the lyrics of “Vogue.” The cover of Madonna’s greatest hits album Celebration is also based on Monroe, and the singer appropriated a famous sequence from The Seven Year Itch for her “Give Me All Your Luvin'” clip.

Now that he has returned to his royal duties, King Charles has been keeping quite busy. The monarch and Queen Camilla (formerly known as Camilla Parker Bowles) made numerous appearances and have even hosted a number of events recently.
On May 15, the couple held another garden party at Buckingham Palace following one a week earlier. The latest party was to celebrate the creative industries. It was a star-studded event that included TV host Maya Jama, Hollywood director Ridley Scott, and supermodels Kate Moss and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. While chatting with their guests, Queen Camilla told Huntington-Whiteley that she liked her lingerie.
Here’s more on that and how the model responded.

Like many children of the 80s, I have a soft spot for the 1985 adventure epic Ladyhawke. It’s directed by the great Richard Donner, with it coming just before The Goonies and Lethal Weapon, but after his time with the Superman franchise. Lavishly produced, it wasn’t a hit in 1985 despite having a top-notch cast that included the late Rutger Hauer (in a rare heroic role), Michelle Pfeiffer, and Matthew Broderick. While some might say the latter was rather improbably cast as an Italian thief in the Middle Ages, that’s not actually the weirdest thing about the movie.
Donner has a reputation for always choosing superb composers for his films. Just think about how iconic Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton’s work is for Lethal Weapon, John Williams’s Superman theme, Jerry Goldsmith’s work on The Omen, and Dave Grusin’s score for The Goonies. Yet, one score...

It has been the longest of waits, Gentle Readers, but Bridgerton Season 3 is finally here!!
The smash Regency-set Netflix series returned May 16 in a dizzying thunder of carriage wheels that brought the ton back to London after a summer in the countryside, all refreshed and ready for the new debutante season with the Queen's next "diamond."
One dashing figure returned home by sea instead of land: a newly suave Colin Bridgerton apparently procured a swashbuckling long brown coat on his travels in addition to a marked dislike for sleeping alone.
In the chaotic swirl of activity before the Queen's court, we learn that the mysterious Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) will wear the tall white feather for her debut that morning.
However, it seems she'd prefer to stay home playing the pianoforte.
This new-to-viewers Bridgerton sister has been in Bath for some time and is pleasant but distant when dealing with her boisterous family,...

This article contains spoilers for Bridgerton season 3 part 1 and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
Last year, the six-episode limited series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story introduced fans to the beginnings of the world of Bridgerton. Shonda Rhimes combined historical details of Queen Charlotte and King George III’s early years of marriage with scenes featuring Violet, Lady Danbury, and the succession crisis set between seasons 2 and 3.
Den of Geek interviewed Bridgerton showrunner and executive producer Jess Brownell to find out the plans for tying in Queen Charlotte’s backstory into the main Bridgerton series.
Bridgerton season 3 is based primarily on Julia Quinn’s original novel Romancing Mister Bridgerton which centers Colin and Penelope’s storyline. Queen Charlotte has only a fleeting mention later on in the novel series, while Violet and Lady Danbury are present only as supporting characters guiding their families in the Ton.

Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov to Cannes this year with his fourth film in Competition and his first in English. Titled Limonov: The Ballad, it tells the incredible story of Eduard Limonov — pronounced “Le-morrr-nov” not “Limunuv” — a Russian renegade poet who traversed the world, reinventing himself whenever times got hard (and they usually did). To star, the director chose British actor Ben Whishaw, himself a chameleonic actor who’s just as at home taking tea with the Queen in his Paddington guise as he is playing Hamlet onstage at the Old Vic. Here, he talks about getting to grips with an enigma and recalls his first-ever Cannes for her movie Bright Star in 2009.
Deadline: How did you get involved with this project?

The Game of Thrones is one of the most incredible TV shows ever to have been made. Adapted by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss from George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, the series was initially well-received, but the last season was one of the most critically lambasted.

From deviating from the source material to a lack of proper character development, fans have found several issues with the ending of Game of Thrones. This has prompted several fans to create alternate endings for the show, and one of them sees Jamie Lannister as the Queen Slayer, which would have actually been a lot better than the HBO series’ actual ending.

Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 Released Today and Here Is Our First Review! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
The third season of the popular Shondaland show is already upon us. Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton’s off-screen chemistry is off the charts and rightfully justifies Bridgerton Season 3’s buzz. While Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley are returning to the series, Phoebe Dynevor has said goodbye to the role.
The first part of the highly anticipated Bridgerton Season 3, with only four episodes, was released today. With Season 2 leaving us on such a big cliffhanger, Season 3 picks right off. It’s been only a week that Kate and Anthony have been back from the honeymoon, and another debut season is already casting a gloom on the ton. With a queen who is on the search for a new diamond and a wallflower ready to bloom, there is a lot at stake here. Will Mr. Bridgerton please stand up though?...

Madonna‘s “Material Girl” music video helped her meet Sean Penn. It also caused fans to compare her to another famous blonde. The Queen of Pop’s brother said that Madonna’s fans drew false conclusions from that music video.

In his 2008 book Life With My Sister Madonna, Christopher Ciccone gave fans some fascinating insight into the “Material Girl” video shoot. “On the LA set of the ‘Material Girl’ video, as Madonna is sashaying down a staircase, decked out in a fuchsia satin replica of the Travilla gown Marilyn wore in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, she comes face-to-face with hot actor Sean Penn,” he wrote. “He is 24, she is 26, their birthdays are just one day apart, and — for both of them — it is love at first sight.

One example was throwing Kyle out of her house, which Lisa doesn’t regret and admitted to love doing.
Lisa dissed Erika’s financial situation when asked about them wearing the same gold outfit during Season 6, and Lisa insisted Erika couldn’t afford the whole thing, just the top.

In this tumultuous year of King Charles battling cancer and having to take a step back from his regular duties, the King sat for a vital portrait that will be hung in Draper’s Hall in London.
This first official portrait of himself, commissioned by The Draper’s Company, was painted by Jonathan Yeo and unveiled just as the King returned to work.
Visit London called The Draper’s Company, formed in 1361 as a “trade association of cloth and wool merchants.” The hall is open for events but not open to the public viewing.
The portrait, which the BBC has described, is a “vivid red work, measuring about 8ft 6in by 6ft 6in.” In the large painting, The King holds a sword, and a butterfly lands on his shoulder.
The adage says that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this new portrait proves divisive among royal fans.

Dog toys and roving Regency-era balls. Small-artisan hand-etched mirrors and allergy medicine. “Bridgerton” has become so much more than a TV show. Heading into Season 3 of Shonda Rhimes’ massively popular period romance series, Netflix has found that viewers aren’t just invested in the love story of new leading couple Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) — they want to invest in the brand itself.
That means a fandom spending its dollars on a growing merch and events business that helps them celebrate each new season of the show, which is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels. Equally important, it tides them over between installments (which take quite some time to produce).

The season is upon us! Footmen in London’s greatest houses are buffing the silverware and arranging exotic fruit in ludicrous displays. Armies of cooks are carving likenesses of Queen Charlotte out of syllabub. Debutantes are being tonged, powdered and fragranced, ready to stand by the side of the ballroom like gorgeous hothouse flowers waiting to be plucked by an eligible lord. And orchestras are tuning up their violins to incongruously pump out Miley Cyrus tunes to get the Ton leaping. In short: it’s new Bridgerton time.

The British Royal Family is often a source of scandal. You can verify this thanks to The Crown by Peter Morgan or a simple attempt to Google the latest news from Buckingham Palace: you will see the recent "disappearance" of Kate Middleton and Prince Harry's tossing between the US and UK, and the false statement about the death of the King.
A recent movie released on Netflix depicts another high-profile story involving the son of Elizabeth II. The scandal reached its climax in 2019, when the prince gave an interview to the BBC and created a wave of criticism against him. It was the historic conversation that became the subject of study by director Philip Martin in the film Scoop.
The movie is based on a book by Sam McAlister, the same producer who finally persuaded Prince Andrew to break his silence.

Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Lady Whistledown’s innovation among the scandal sheets is that she uses people’s names to dish about marriage-mart gossip. But the “Bridgerton” costume department has had quite a novel innovation on an old form, too, and one we deem worthy of celebration.
How we feel about old-timey clothes is influenced by an intuitive set of conventions that reflect our contemporary fashion tastes. A costume designer’s choice of color, silhouette (the outline or shape of a garment), fabric, and texture all work to tell us who is conceited, who is shy, and who is, as Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) would put it, a sparkler.
But if one looks at costumes from Regency romances 10 or 15 years before “Bridgerton” first aired in 2020 — your “Pride & Prejudice...

British royal family news discloses that King Charles’ first official portrait, painted by British artist Jonathan Yeo, debuted at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, a few days after the one-year anniversary of his coronation on May 6, 2023.
The portrait was commissioned in 2020 to recognize Charles’ 50 years as a member of The Drapers Company, a UK charity that supports education, prisoner rehabilitation, and elder care.
Between 2021 and 2023 Yeo and Charles had four sitting in Highgrove and Clarence House; it will be hung at Drapers’ Hall in London. Here’s what to know about this very unique, outside-the-box royal portrait.

After months of battling cancer, King Charles is ready to return to the public spotlight full-time. He’s looking to increase his royal engagements, and he’s reportedly like a “caged lion,” according to a royal commentator. However, his wife, Camilla, Queen Consort, is reportedly “holding him back.” What is her reason for doing so?
King Charles is ready to return to public life, but is Camilla holding him back?
Alongside Princess Anne and the late Queen Elizabeth, King Charles was a royal always on the move. His diary was filled with engagements that kept him in the public eye.

Near the end of the miniseries Lawmen: Bass Reeves, David Oyelowo’s titular character is told something all too familiar to many unsung real-life heroes: “No one’s gonna ever know, but you made history today.”
“You can just imagine how many people from marginalized communities that is the truth for,” he says. “People who very much had a real hand in building this country, and whether it’s their history not being taught … or that their contribution to history hasn’t been valued in the same way, which is why getting this show made was an obsession.”
That obsession took the form of Yoruba Saxon, a talent-led production company Oyelowo created with his wife Jessica in 2014, though his desire to produce actually came from his “accidental experience” of helping to put together Ava DuVernay’s Selma years before. “I didn’t realize those moves that go on to lead...

In the first scene of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Charlotte (India Amarteifio) sulks in a carriage en route to marry King George. Her brother jokes that she hasn’t moved in six hours.
Charlotte scowls and responds: “The gown sits atop a bespoke underpinning made of whalebone. The problem with whalebone is that it is rather sharp. I am in the height of fashion, so this corset is quite snug. If I move too much, I might be sliced and stabbed to death by my undergarments. I am angry and I cannot breathe. Turn this carriage around or I will bounce. I will impale myself on this ridiculous corset and bleed to death.”
This monologue is great for setting up Charlotte’s feistiness. But Charlotte is very misinformed about her own underwear. European women in the 1760s called their structured undergarments “stays” not “corsets.” Stays weren’t made with...

The Crown showrunner Peter Morgan reflected on the series’ final season at a Netflix Fysee event on Monday, touching on how Queen Elizabeth’s death affected his desire to continue the show.
In a conversation with LA Times critic Robert Abele, Morgan noted how he always thought of the show “as a story about the two houses, Buckingham Palace and Downing Street, and I never really thought of it as a story about the royal family. But of course, that’s all anybody thinks it’s about, the royal family, whereas I think of it is about the two houses.”
Admitting, “This is going to sound mad, but I’m not really that interested in the monarchy,” Morgan continued, “Mothers, sons, wives, husbands, that’s really what it’s about. And, of course, at the heart of it is this woman, this rather extraordinary woman. And for me the minute she died,...

HBO has released the first full-length trailer for House of the Dragon season 2 (via SFFGazette.com), and brace yourselves because it's epic. In the newly released footage, we see more of the scheming which continues in Westeros as war beckons between Queen Alicent Hightower and Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.
The Targaryen civil war known as the "Dance of the Dragons" is nearly upon us and this sneak peek does a phenomenal job of setting the stage for the conflict to come.
All the major players are highlighted, with the sneak peek ending on a suitably epic note as Rhaenyra stands tall with Syrax looming large behind her. Who will prevail? Book readers (and most Game of Thrones fans) will know, but we won't spoil anything here,

King Charles and Prince Harry just pressed pause on the whole healing the rift thing with their latest interactions, or lack thereof.
The King was too busy to spare a few moments for his son Harry, and Harry reportedly declined staying at a royal residence during his brief UK visit to celebrate Invictus Games’ 10th anniversary.
Robert Jobson Calls King Charles’ Latest Snub of Son Prince Harry “Ironic”
For all three days Prince Harry was in the UK, he didn’t get an opportunity to meet the King. Guess who did get an opportunity to meet King Charles? Football legend David Beckham!
But if you asked Jobson, the King cannot be blamed for choosing not to meet Harry during his latest visit.
He said: “But really, who can blame him? Harry and his wife Meghan have made a fistful of dollars carping on about his family’s supposed inadequacies and failings.

The past year saw a glut of biopics, and there are many more to come.
On the horizon are movies about Bob Dylan (A Complete Unknown with Timothee Chalamet), Michael Jackson (Michael with Jaafar Jackson), Shirley Chisolm (Shirley with Regina King), and many others.
Biographical pictures can be a vehicle to introduce a star from the past to the younger set, a la Elvis and then Priscilla. Or to bring a lesser-known historical figure like Oppenheimer to the forefront of our consciousness.
Other times, rather than being educational, a biopic can sensationalize a tragedy or scandal, which could leave a bad taste in the mouths of fans. This was the case with the Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson miniseries.
Biopics are not a new genre for Hollywood. They are part of the ebb and flow of popularity. The vehicle is always around, sometimes as a small interest piece and, every now and then,...

King Charle Chooses To Meet David Beckham Over Son Harry. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
King Charles III, who returned to public duties earlier this month after a cancer diagnosis, reportedly declined to meet his son Prince Harry in London last week. According to The Times, King Charles instead had a private meeting with retired professional soccer player David Beckham on Friday, May 10, to discuss the Monarch’s charity, the King’s Foundation.
Prince Harry was reportedly in London for a few days last week before joining Meghan Markle on a three-day whirlwind tour to Nigeria. The couple are visiting the country after they received the invitation from the nation’s Chief of Defence Staff.
During his time in London, the Duke of Sussex reportedly appeared at St. Paul’s Cathedral to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. However, Harry could not meet his father as on the same day,...

King Charles III is down “points” after skipping Prince Harry’s Invictus Games anniversary service. His absence has been widely perceived as a “snub” in the British press. However, a royal biographer thinks the king has a chance to redeem himself, and soon. How? By making a nod to the Duke of Sussex when he hands over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, the regiment Harry served in, to Prince William—another move widely seen as a “snub”—in an upcoming ceremony.
Charles ‘lost a few points’ by not joining Harry at the Invictus Games anniversary service
The Duke of Sussex didn’t see his father while in London, England, marking 10 years of the Invictus Games. Not in a brief meeting like in February 2024 or publicly at the games’ anniversary service.

Prior to King Charles‘ coronation, one of the big questions people had was: Would Prince Louis be there?
On May 6, 2023, that question was answered when Prince William and the Princess of Wales’ (formerly known as Kate Middleton) youngest son arrived at Westminster Abbey alongside his parents and his sister, Princess Charlotte. But at some point during the service, Prince Louis mysteriously disappeared and many wondered when he was whisked away.
Now, video footage has resurfaced of the moment the prince needed a break behind the scenes.

The ceremony to crown Louis’ grandfather ran for two hours so it’s understandable that the young prince got a little antsy sitting in church and was taken away for a while.

Okay, we all loved the original Star Wars trilogy. George Lucas’ unique vision defined the space opera genre and gave us some epic movies that we will love for years to come. But remember when the Prequel Trilogy came out? Sure, by the time the Revenge of the Sith came out, fans were more satisfied with the story, but do you remember how much hate was directed towards Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace when it first came out? And it wasn’t just Jar-Jar Binks that people hated – it was the whole concept and many parts of the story.
Yours truly personally liked the Prequel Trilogy and we on Fiction Horizon are quite happy with how well the three movies aged, as fans have been starting to appreciate these movies more and more in recent years, especially after Disney’s Sequel Trilogy. In light of that, Variety...

The success of Bruce Lee's films on the international scene saw several attempts over the years by Golden Harvest to try and recapture the lightning in a bottle. Some saw efforts to launch a new star, others like “A Queen's Ransom” featuring recognizable “talent” from the west. George Lazenby whilst not a big star at the time was still a “name” having appeared as 007 in “On Her Majesty's Secret Service”. So, it feels somehow apt that he was cast as the terrorist out to kill her here. Backed up by Jimmy Wang Yu and Angela Mao it should on the surface have been a bigger deal. With Eureka Entertainment releasing it on Blu Ray we can discover for ourselves whether it deserves to be.

While it is considered to be a major success, one of the flaws of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Elden Ring is how a new theory surfaces every single day within the community, often even invalidating everything you have experienced in the game so far. Something similar has happened once again, as recent speculation makes you wonder if anything’s even real anymore
Players of FromSoftware have a habit of theorizing anything and everything
As players would already know, The Erdtree is the home to the Elden Beast as well as Queen Marika, also recognized as Radagon, her alter-identity. It is also the end destination of our tarnished character’s journey to eventually becoming the Elden lord in the game. However, the aforementioned theory takes it a step further by stating how this isn’t the real erdtree, to begin with.
Nothing’s Real Anymore; Did the Player Experience A Fake Erdtree In Elden Ring?...

Prince Harry has been urged to step down from Invictus Games ten years after he originally launched the competition event for veterans. The games was founded as a way to aid the rehabilitation and mental recovery of wounded and sick servicemembers and veterans.
At the moment, he’s getting ready to fly back to the UK to celebrate its milestone anniversary, but royalists think something should change about the competition’s management.
Fans Want Prince Harry To Step Down From Invictus Games
Since its founding, Invictus Games has managed to grow each year with more countries now able to compete. However, fans still fear for its fate with Harry at the helm.
The Royal Family, on the other hand, saw a major reshuffle following the cancer diagnosis of two of its most senior members.

Although Bridgerton is based on a series of romance novels by Julia Quinn, the show takes time to emphasize the importance of family life through the Bridgerton siblings' bond with their mother and each other, and the love between friends, even as Penelope and Eloise's relationship is about to become strained.
Queen Charlotte, an offshoot of Bridgerton, has captured perhaps the most tragic love story of the entire series, a fictionalized biography of King George and the way his health deteriorated for the Queen to watch. Although the years have passed, there is still a chance to see the King again in season 3.

The reigning Queen of Comic-Con and the ultimate science fiction superstar, Sigourney Weaver, might be gearing up to conquer yet another interstellar franchise.
Weaver is in talks to join the cast of the Star Wars film, “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” Variety has confirmed.
