Adolescence star Stephen Graham's next big role will be playing the father of Bruce Springsteen in the rock icon's biopic starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss.
Graham plays Eddie Miller, the father of Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), a 13-year-old boy accused of stabbing a female classmate to death in Netflix's hit drama Adolescence.
The four-episode limited series chronicles in real-time four separate days in the case, which begins with the arrest and interrogation of Jamie, and concludes 13 months later with Eddie and his family still trying to cope with the tragedy as the teen prepares to go to trial.
While Graham, Cooper and company continue to win accolades for Adolescence, the veteran film and television actor continues his work as Douglas 'Dutch' Springsteen on Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere opposite The Bear star White.
The logline for Deliver Me from Nowhere notes that the film follows 'Bruce Springsteen's journey crafting his 1982 album Nebraska, which emerged as he recorded Born in the USA with the E Street Band.'
Deliver Me from Nowhere also stars Gaby Hoffmann, Paul Walter Hauser, David Krumholtz and Marc Maron.

During a recent interview with the podcast Soundtracking (via The Guardian), Stephen Graham shared with host Edith Bowman a personal text he received from Bruce Springsteen after his work on Deliver Me from Nowhere.
'He's a working-class hero. He's an icon to thousands, to millions,' Graham told Bowman of Springsteen. 'And his text just said, 'Thank you so much. You know, my father passed away a while ago and I felt like I saw him today and thank you for giving me that memory.''
Graham said he was overcome with emotion while reading the text from the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
'I was crying reading the text, do you know what I mean? Oh mate, it was beautiful,' Graham told Bowman. 'You couldn't ask for anything more, you know, to share that with someone was gorgeous. He's a lovely man.'
Per Variety, Deliver Me from Nowhere started production in October of 2024 and is set to be released sometime in 2025.
Meanwhile, viewers can see Graham in Adolescence on Netflix. The limited series, which debuted atop Netflix's Global TV shows chart four days after its March 13 release, placed No. 1 again in its second week of release with 42 million views, which equates to 161 million hours viewed.
In addition to Graham and Owen Cooper, Adolescence stars Ashley Walters and Faye Marsay as detectives Luke Bascombe and Misha Frank, Erin Doherty as child psychologist Briony Ariston, Christine Tremarco as Eddie's wife, Manda, and Amelie Pease and their daughter and Jamie's sister, Lisa.
All four episodes of Adolescence are streaming on Netflix.

'The Day of The Jackal' author Frederick Forsyth dies aged 86
Prolific British thriller writer Frederick Forsyth, who instantly became a global bestselling author when his book "The Day of the Jackal" was published in 1971, died on Monday aged 86, his literary agents Curtis Brown said. Forsyth famously penned his most famous work about a fictional assassination attempt on French president Charles de Gaulle by right-wing extremists in just 35 days after falling on hard times. "The Jackal" went on to be made into a hit film starring Edward Fox as the assassin. A Netflix remake last year with Eddie Redmayne in the lead role was released last year. "We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers," his agent Jonathan Lloyd said. Forsyth died at home surrounded by his family following a brief illness, according to Curtis Brown. The former journalist and pilot wrote over 25 books including "The Odessa File" (1972) and "The Dogs of War" (1974) and sold over 75 million copies worldwide. Many of his novels were also turned into films. "Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life ... and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived," said Lloyd. "After serving as one of the youngest ever RAF pilots, he turned to journalism, using his gift for languages in German, French and Russian to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra (in Nigeria)," he said. - 'Spectacular luck' - "Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a secret service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel, 'The Day Of The Jackal'," he added. A sequel to "The Odessa File", entitled "Revenge Of Odessa", on which he worked with thriller writer Tony Kent, is due to be published in August, his publisher Bill Scott-Kerr said. "His journalistic background brought a rigour and a metronomic efficiency to his working practice and his nose for and understanding of a great story kept his novels both thrillingly contemporary and fresh," Scott-Kerr added. Forsyth attributed much of his success to "luck", recalling how a bullet narrowly missed him while he was covering the bloody Biafra civil war between 1967 and 1970. "I have had the most spectacular luck all through my life," he told The Times last November in an interview. "Right place, right time, right person, right contact, right promotion -- and even just turning my head away when that bullet went past," he said. Asked why he had decided to give up writing -- although he later went back to it -- he told AFP in 2016 he'd "run out of things to say". "I can't just sit at home and do a nice little romance from within my study, I have to go out and check out places like Modagishu, Guinea Bissau, both hellholes in different ways," he said. Forsyth had two sons by his first wife. His second wife, Sandy, died last year. Conservative MP David Davis paid tribute to his friend as a "fabulous wordsmith". He told Sky News that Forsyth "was a great believer in the old values -– he believed in honour and patriotism and courage and directness and straightforwardness, and a big defender of our armed forces". bur-har/jkb/ach

Charlize Theron's Andy Fights Quynh in a 500 Year Old Battle in New Clip From THE OLD GUARD 2 — GeekTyrant
Netflix has released a new clip from the upcoming sequel The Old Guard 2 , in which we get to see Charlize Theron's character Andy and Veronica Ngo's Quynh go head to head in a battle that's 500 years in the making. Theron talked about the plot of the film, and her character's change from the first movie, in a recent interview where she stated, "The stakes have never been higher. Andy is mortal now, so there's a very real possibility that she could die during any mission this time around." The first film concluded with significant shifts in the group's dynamic: Andy (Theron) lost her immortality, Nile (KiKi Layne) gained it, and Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) was exiled. The film's full synopsis reads: 'Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh (Veronica Ngô) out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardize everything she's worked towards for thousands of years. 'Andy, Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli) and James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) enlist the help of Tuah (Henry Golding), an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence.' Check out the new clip below, and watch The Old Guard 2 when it's released on Netflix on July 2nd.

Meghan Markle's New Project Is So Unexpected…and So Her
Meghan Markle has been busy this year—like, seriously booked and thriving. Between launching her lifestyle brand As Ever, kicking off her new podcast Confessions of a Female Founder and seeing her hit Netflix series With Love, Meghan already renewed for season two, the Duchess of Sussex is clearly in her boss era. And according to new reports, she's not slowing down anytime soon. The latest buzz? Meghan might be setting her sights on the hospitality industry—think boutique hotels, chic restaurants and cozy luxury stays. According to The Mirror, the former Suits star has been expanding the trademark for her rebranded lifestyle firm, As Ever, with filings that now include 'hospitality services,' 'temporary lodging' and the 'provision of food and drink.' It's only a matter of time before we find out if it's true, but honestly, it wouldn't be a shock. Meghan's whole vibe—with As Ever and her Netflix show—is rooted in entertaining, lifestyle and creating beautiful spaces. A move into the hospitality world feels like a natural next step. In fact, the idea of building something for future generations seems to be top of mind for her. On a recent episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan chatted with Tina Knowles (yes, Beyoncé's mom) about the possibility of launching a business one day with her daughter, Princess Lilibet. She asked Tina for her best advice on working with family. 'There are difficulties sometimes… you have disagreements,' Knowles said. 'But I'm the one that always caves. I've been like that since I was young. If my kids are mad at me, I can't take it, so I'll apologize.' Whether Meghan's next venture is a podcast empire, a boutique hotel or a cozy café somewhere in Montecito, one thing's for sure: the world is watching… and some of us (AKA me) are cheering her on.
