Barry Keoghan's brutal Irish crime thriller is now streaming for free
Barry Keoghan's Irish thriller Calm With Horses is now available to stream for free.
Titled The Shadow of Violence in the US, the 2019 film is set in rural Ireland and follows ex-boxer Douglas 'Arm' Armstrong as he becomes the feared enforcer for the drug-dealing Devers family.
Trying to be a good father to his autistic five-year-old son, Douglas' loyalties are soon tested when he's asked to kill for the first time.
Calm With Horses is now available to stream for free in the UK on Channel 4's streaming service after airing on Film4 last night.
As well as Keoghan, the movie stars Warfare's Cosmo Jarvis, Peaky Blinders actor Ned Dennehy, The Wonder's David Wilmot and Braveheart's Liam Carney.

Directed by Nick Rowland, Calm With Horses was a hit with critics, earning a 'Certified Fresh' score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes from 70 reviews.
"Calm With Horses presents a grimly effective portrait of one man's struggle with divided loyalties, elevated by standout performances from a stellar cast," reads the site's critical consensus.
Keoghan can currently be seen on the big screen in psychological thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow, which is an extension of Grammy winner The Weeknd's new album of the same name.
The singer stars alongside Keoghan and Jenna Ortega as a fictionalised version of himself battling insomnia, who is "pulled into a nightmarish odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence".

The film has a brutal score of just 14% from 69 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, with critics branding it a "self-indulgent" vanity project for The Weeknd despite sound performances from both Keoghan and Ortega.
Keoghan is next set to star in Netflix's upcoming Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man. Set a few years after the events of the show's season six finale, the movie follows the Shelbys during World War II.

Sabrina Carpenter's ‘Manchild' Lyrics Seem to Be Savage Message to Ex Barry Keoghan
Sabrina Carpenter is making an early bid for song of the summer with the release of her new single 'Manchild.' Leading up to its release, fans wondered whether Carpenter's lyrics were aimed at her ex Barry Keoghan given the track name and promo language (specifically her announcement post saying, 'this one's about you!!'). The song doesn't explicitly call Keoghan out by name, but it generally alludes to the annoyance of having to deal with an immature man. The chorus goes, 'Man-child / Why you always come a-running to me? / Fuck my life / Won't you let an innocent woman be?' Keoghan and Carpenter first sparked romantic rumors in late 2023 before going public with their relationship in February 2024. Their relationship included a Met Gala date and Keoghan starring in Carpenter's music video for 'Please Please Please.' Those lyrics seemed to have a message for him too, with her singing: 'I heard that you're an actor / So act like a stand up guy / Whatever devil's inside you / Don't let him out tonight / I tell them it's just your culture / And everyone rolls their eyes / Yeah I know / All I'm asking baby / Please please please don't prove I'm right / Please please please / Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice / Heartbreak is one thing / My ego's another / I beg you don't embarrass me / Mother fucker ahhh / Please please please.' Sadly, their love story didn't last and fizzled out in December 2024. A source told Entertainment Tonight, 'Things didn't end well, and they are taking space from each other. Sabrina and Barry are definitely broken up right now. Sabrina isn't sad over the breakup and is staying busy and distracted.' The insider added that 'Sabrina is figuring out what she wants and is focused on her career.' Carpenter hasn't dated anyone publicly since Keoghan—but chances are she has plenty of private stories to draw inspiration from, too. Whether Keoghan or someone else is her muse, the star isn't likely to share the subject of 'Manchild.' She told W magazine last year that she doesn't want to put her love life up for public consumption. 'I get why people are interested,' she conceded. 'But they can listen to my album and decide for themselves what the songs are about.' 'Manchild' offers fans an opportunity to do just that. Listen to the song below and read the lyrics, courtesy of Genius:

Banijay Chief Marco Bassetti On Potential ITV Takeover: 'Scale Is Really Important'
Marco Bassetti, CEO of MasterChef and Peaky Blinders production empire Banijay Entertainment, has addressed speculation about the company's interest in acquiring ITV. The Financial Times reported in April that Banijay has held talks with ITV about a takeover. Deadline reported last month that the talks were still tentative and that the shape of any deal was unclear. More from Deadline Deadline's Sound & Screen To Make UK Debut At SXSW London With Star Composers, Abbey Road Tribute & Anne Dudley Honor London Mayor Threatens To Reopen Donald Trump Rift After Swiping At "Inward-Looking" U.S. On Opening Day Of SXSW London Banijay Appoints Factual Drama Chief During an appearance at SXSW London, Bassetti sowed some confusion by saying 'we're not buying ITV Studios.' Bassetti went on to talk about the benefits of scale in the current climate. If Banijay was to make an audacious bid for ITV, it would cement its status as one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. 'To put this in context, we are a niche business with many companies, so we always talk to each other about how to create more value. And sometimes rumors get out,' he said, adding that we are currently 'living in a world where consolidation is really important.' 'It wasn't like this a few years ago,' he said. 'Then, we were a little bit scared about scale. We didn't want to be seen as too big or powerful. But today, if you don't have a big distribution branch or have the money to invest in pilots, it is difficult to stay in the market.' Flanked by its banking advisors at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Robey Warshaw, ITV has reportedly been entertaining potential suitors since at least last November. RedBird IMI, run by former CNN chief Jeff Zucker, emerged as the frontrunner to a deal after the Abu Dhabi-backed investment fund acquired All3Media last year. Last month, citing sources with knowledge of the talks, we reported that RedBird IMI's interest has cooled significantly in recent weeks, though the situation remains fluid and could change again quickly. Sources told Deadline that RedBird IMI believes ITV Studios' valuation is too high. Bassetti's talk was moderated by Jordan Schwarzenberger, co-founder of Arcade Media, the management company of YouTube creators The Sidemen. On the topic of online creators and their convergence with traditional producers like Banijay, Bassetti spoke at length, telling the audience that to move forward, both producers and creators must increasingly work together. 'We must converge if we want to exploit the content created,' Bassetti said. 'We need to use as much as possible all the platforms the market has today. So like your next picture for you is Netflix. We are working to produce shows on YouTube.'

Oasis fans invited to send personal stories for Oasis Live '25 Tour film
Oasis fans are being invited to share their stories about "a particular song" that holds "deep meaning" to them for the Oasis Live '25 Tour film. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is producing the reuniting Britpop legends' documentary, with renowned filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace on board to direct - the duo behind LCD Soundsystem's concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits. Magna Studios - whose credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now - are heading up the production and are asking fans to send in their special memories associated with the Live Forever hitmakers' songs for potential inclusion in the film. A post on the website read: "Now, in the year of Oasis' sell out reunion tour, Magna Studios and Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows) - in association with Oasis - are making a film exploring how this band's music has become so important to so many. We are asking people all over the world if there is a particular Oasis song that has deep meaning for you. A song that tells the story of a life changing moment, a love, a loss, a heartbreak, or a break for freedom. 'Whatever the Oasis song, whatever the story – tell us…' Oasis' UK and Ireland shows - their first in 16 years - will kick off in Cardiff on July 4 and see them joined by special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast. The Supersonic band will also play USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Meanwhile, frontman Liam Gallagher recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour. The 52-year-old frontman - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium comeback shows this summer. One fan messaged him on X after his admission: '@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations.' Liam replied: 'Shut up you melt.' Another user asked the singer: '@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?' – to which Liam responded: '@adele_liam I did 2 pacs.' The Oasis reunion marks the first time the band have performed together since 2009, when they split after a backstage altercation between the siblings at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade. Rehearsals kicked off in London, with Liam joining his bandmates — including his brother Noel, 58 — for rehearsals this week.
