Kate Mara to Star in Supernatural Thriller Podcast ‘Necropolis’

By Todd Spangler


Kate Mara will topline “Necropolis,” a scripted supernatural thriller podcast series from sci-fi and fantasy podcast studio Echoverse.

Mara (“A Teacher,” “The Martian,” “House of Cards”) also will executive produce the audio drama, alongside Project X Entertainment’s James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein and Nicole Tossou. “Necropolis” is adapted by Brian Miller (“Apollo 18”) from his short story of the same name.

“Necropolis” follows Sarah Bishop (Mara) who, after a dishonorable discharge from the Army, moves with her two kids to a small California town to work as the deputy sheriff. Her hope for a peaceful new start is thwarted by a series of increasingly ominous supernatural phenomena that seem somehow connected to her personally — and begin to threaten the entire town.

Red Guardian and Yelena Will Reconnect in 'Thunderbolts,' Says David Harbour

By - Chris McPherson 8/19/2023


David Harbour has revealed some new information about Thunderbolts, the upcoming Marvel ensemble movie in which he reprises his role as Red Guardian, the Soviet super-soldier answer to Captain America, as well as opening up on the process of shooting Black Widow, which was released in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Thunderbolts was due to begin shooting when the WGA strike began, with Marvel opting not to follow in the leads of other big projects and begin filming, as the studio prefers to have the flexibility to rewrite their scripts on the fly. Whether or not this is a positive thing is very much up for debate, as Marvel's recent mixed output has confirmed.

Speaking to Josh Horowitz on Happy, Sad, Confused, the Stranger Things star noted that, when saying Thunderbolts had been postponed, "the entire third act" of the Scarlett Johansson-starring movie was rewritten while filming was ongoing, which certainly seems to add up given that third act's decidedly middling CGI and bombastic action, which is quite at odds with the rest of the movie's slightly more grounded feel.

Vince Vaughn To Topline Stephen Chbosky Comedy ‘Nonnas’; Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro & Linda Cardellini Among Others Set

By Matt Grobar


Vince Vaughn (Bad Monkey) will topline Nonnas, an original comedy that Stephen Chbosky (Wonder) has been tapped to direct for Fifth Season (80 for Brady), 1Community (Just Mercy) and Madison Wells (The Eyes of Tammy Faye).

Among those joining Vaughn in the film, which wrapped production last month in New Jersey, are Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (Blue Beetle) and Academy Award nominees Lorraine Bracco (Goodfellas), Talia Shire (Megalopolis) and Brenda Vaccaro (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). Others in the cast include Emmy nominee Linda Cardellini (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Brokeback Mountain), Emmy winner Drea De Matteo (The Sopranos), Joe Manganiello (The Kill Room), Michael Rispoli (Power Book III: Raising Kanan) and Campbell Scott (Jurassic World Dominion).

Written by Liz Maccie (Siren, A Loud House Christmas), Nonnas is based on the true story of Brooklyn native Joe Scaravella (Vaughn), who, after losing his beloved mother, realizes he’s wasted time as a single man at a dead-end job and yearns for a second chance at life. Motivated by his Italian mother’s love of cooking, but with no culinary experience and dwindling funds, he opens a restaurant unlike any other by hiring the most unlikely team of chefs — one consisting of grandmothers.

Italian nonnas make their Sunday dinners every day of the week (except Christmas and Easter) for anyone who needs to feel at home. Joe finds a new purpose, community and love interest (Cardellini) in the process, and, along with the nonnas, discovers it’s never too late to start again.

Kate Mara and Gabriel Luna to Play Husband and Wife Duo in Sci-Fi Thriller 'The Astronaut'

By - Rob London -  09/10/2023


Kate Mara and Gabriel Luna are coming aboard The Astronaut. The pair will be joining Laurence Fishburne in the sci-fi thriller. Deadline reports that the feature will be the writing and directorial debut of Jess Varley. Mara will play the titular astronaut, Sam Walker, who miraculously survives a space disaster and is found alive in a capsule floating in the Atlantic. Instead of reuniting with her husband (Terminator: Dark Fate and The Last of Us' Luna), she's put into a high-security facility for observation and testing by General William Harris (Fishburne).

Soon, a series of strange occurrences convinces Sam that something alien may have come back with her from space. The Astronaut is set to shoot in Ireland next month under an interim SAG-AFTRA agreement; it is being shopped by the Highland Film Group at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The one movie Kate Mara admits was awful

Calum Russell - Thu 9 November 2023


Some of the greatest actors of contemporary cinema simply don’t get the credit they deserve, with the likes of Riz Ahmed, KiKi Layne and Toni Collette each having had recent performances that have gone under the radar. A similar Hollywood star is Kate Mara, the star of Netflix’s House of Cards, who has worked with such filmmakers as Josh Trank, Ang Lee, Ridley Scott and Danny Boyle.

First showing her face in the industry in the late 1990s, Mara started to genuinely find her feet in the new millennium, taking roles in such TV shows as Nip/Tuck, Jack & Bobby and 24. In time, Hollywood came calling, with Mara being offered roles in 2010’s Happythankyoumoreplease, the Marvel flick Iron Man 2 and Boyle’s Oscar nominee 127 Hours.

Gustavo Santaolalla’s Acclaimed 1998 Album ‘Ronroco’ Now on Vinyl for First Time

A remastered edition of Grammy and Academy Award winner Gustavo Santaolalla's critically acclaimed 1998 album Ronroco is now available on vinyl for the first time from Nonesuch Records, also available digitally, here. The singer, composer, and producer’s classic album comprises twelve original tunes inspired by traditional Argentinean music and influenced by music of Japan, Africa, and eastern Europe. The record takes its name from the ronroco, a South American stringed instrument. “I’ve been playing this instrument since I was a kid, collecting songs and thoughts about this record for a long time,” Santaolalla said. “The idea was to make a non-traditional album, a sonic landscape.”

Ronroco features Santaolalla on charango, ronroco, Andean pipes, whistles, and guitar, in collaboration with long-time partner Aníbal Kerpel on vibraphone and melodica. Twenty-five years after its original release, Ronroco is a project that Santaolalla holds special affection for: “This album materialized a different, less known side of me,” he said. “The challenge was to keep it simple without giving up some rough edges, staying within the boundaries of the subtlety and delicacy that this music needs.”
