Year in Review From an epic Tollywood blockbuster to a modest Iranian road movie, Cate Blanchett behaving badly to Michelle Yeoh saving the multiverse — these were the movies that made our year No one could be blamed for thinking that the Movies — the capital-M medium — was in a midst of an existential crisis in 2022. The theatrical experience constantly seemed to be hanging on by a thread, threatening to become a thing of the past. (Though a hearty thank you to you, Mr. Tom Cruise, for saving it for at least one more year.) Streaming services kept underwriting canon-worthy directors' new projects, then undermining those same films by throwing them to the algorithm wolves and turning them into just another bit of "content." Superhero movies continued to dominate multiplex screens, and I.P. franchises continued to multiply and/or go multivers...

The 10 titles that were the biggest recipients of distribution funding from the British Film Institute (BFI) received a total of £626,250 from the organisation's Audience Fund. The fund supports cinema releases in two ways. The first is through Audience Fund Project Awards, which follow an application from a distributor applying to support a specific title. The second is via Audience Fund Organisation Awards, where a distributor secures an annual award to support a number of titles across the year. The new BFI National Lottery funding strategy will kick in from April 2023, with £27.6m set aside for audience development across the next three years.

Wentworth Miller originated the lead role of Michael Scofield on "Prison Break" in 2005. Since then, he came out as gay in 2013, when he wrote an open letter to a Russian film festival addressing his reasons for declining their invitation (per CNN), due to the anti-LGBTQ+ stance of the Russian government. Since then, Miller has taken a firm stand against portraying straight characters, posting on Instagram in 2020 that he'll never return to "Prison Break" for that reason, according to Newsweek. "Not bec of static on social media (although that has centered the issue)," he wrote, referencing online harassment he'd received. "I just don't want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told). So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons... I understand this is disappointing. I'm sorry." Miller — who moved on to portray Captain Cold on "The Flash...

Marcus Chong, who plays Tank in The Matrix, was cut from the sequels after he requested either half a million dollars to appear, or nothing at all. By Michileen Martin | Published 3 months ago Marcus Chong as Tank in The Matrix (1999) Ever wonder why Tank never shows up in any of the sequels to 1999's science fiction classic The Matrix ? After all, with the exception of the leads–Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne)–by the end of the film he's the only surviving crew member of The Nebuchadnezzar. Marcus Chong played Tank, and he was cut from the franchise after making arguably the absolute grandaddy of all strange demands: he wanted either $500,000 to appear in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions , or he would do them for free. Four years after The Matrix hit theaters, E! Online reported that Chong had filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. and the Wachowski sisters' Eon Productions for fraud, slander, an...
