Yahoo06-07-2025
Nicolas Cage will remember Julian McMahon as a "kind and intelligent man". The actor died from cancer on July 2, aged 56, and his former co-star in The Surfer - the 2024 psychological thriller film - has paid a glowing tribute to Julian, describing him as "one of [his] favourite people". Nicolas told Deadline: "Such deeply saddening news. I spent six weeks working with Julian, and he was the most talented of actors. "Our scenes together on The Surfer were amongst my favourites I have ever participated in, and Julian is one of my favourite people. He was a kind and intelligent man. My love to his family." Elsewhere, Dylan Walsh - who starred alongside Julian in Nip/Tuck, the hit TV medical drama - has admitted to being "stunned" by the news. The 61-year-old actor said: "We rode this wave together and I loved him. My heart goes out to Kelly and Maddy. "Jules! I know you'd want me to say something to make you smile — all the inside jokes. All those years you had my back, and my god, we laughed. My heart is with you. Rest in peace." The late actor played Jess LaCroix in FBI: Most Wanted, the police crime drama, and Dick Wolf - who created the FBI franchise - has expressed his shock and sadness. He said: "What shocking news. All of us at Wolf Entertainment are deeply saddened by Julian's passing and our condolences go out to his entire family." Julian's passing was announced by his wife Kelly McMahon on Friday (04.07.25). In a statement given to Deadline, she said: "With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. "We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories."

David Corenswet Says SUPERMAN Is 'a Comic Book Up on the Big Screen' and a 'Great Way to Start a New Era' — GeekTyrant

Superman star David Corenswet recently opened up about what sets James Gunn's film apart from the other comic book films being made. According to the actor, this isn't your standard 'comic book movie.' It is the comic book. 'My impression, which is only my impression, but rather than being a comic book adaptation to film, which has been the renaissance of comic book movies that started with great films like Iron Man and Batman Begins, where it sort of felt like we were bringing these comic characters to the real world, James's Superman movie is more a comic book up on the big screen. 'I've heard it described that the experience of watching it is sort of like the experience of reading a comic, but obviously in motion on a giant screen, shared with the people around you. I think that should be a new experience for people, and is a great way to start a new era of comic book movies.' Having seen the film, I 100% agree and that is exactly why I loved the movie! It's very different from any of the other superhero films being made these days. Gunn just has this distinct filmmaking style hat embraces weirdness, color, and emotional sincerity without losing the escapist fun of the medium. Corenswet also spoke about the responsibility of taking on a character with so much legacy attached. Instead of mimicking previous portrayals, he went straight to the source material: All-Star Superman , the modern classic by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely that Gunn reportedly used as a creative north star. 'There's something cool about, in the same way when you play a great character in theater who's been played by great actors before you, you don't really get the chance to go back and see their performances and be inspired by their performances. 'But when you read the play, and you get your inspiration from the same words that they got their inspiration from, there's a nice little spiritual connection through time there." He continued: 'For me, it was focusing on drawing inspiration from All-Star Superman, the comic that James sort of pointed us to. And in looking at that – not that all the Supermans before me have read that comic – but I saw some things that I recognized in other actors' portrayal of the character. 'But in drawing it from the comics rather than from the other performances, I felt confident that it would become my own interpretation, and I would find things that would be overlapping, but ultimately distinct from previous actors.' Between the reverence for the comics and the promise of a cinematic experience that feels like reading a comic on a massive screen, Superman is something truly new in a genre desperate for reinvention.

Turki Alalshikh's wish granted as ‘Tom and Jerry' boxing turned to ‘Itchy and Scratchy' in Queens

NEW YORK — Turki Alalshikh's latest boxing vision, on paper, appeared oxymoronic. After all, tennis is a sport known for being polite, well-mannered, and with a tradition steeped in aristocracy. But on Saturday night in Queens, New York City, the Saudi kingpin swapped out rackets and handshakes for gloves and uppercuts inside the Louis Armstrong Stadium, and the results were impressive. There was a new energy in the air. The march from Mets-Willets Points station to the stadium was made harder through a sizzling New York summer's evening, but it didn't deter hundreds donning their local boxing club sweatshirts and caps. The crowd was full of young fans and younger talent — no doubt aided by a sizeable tranche of complimentary tickets that were handed out during fight week. A prospect from Eastern Queens Boxing Club could only have been 14 years old, but was being recognized by his peers. Advertisement The event — co-headlined by Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda — felt almost gladiatorial. The stands hung over the ring in daunting fashion, giving all ticketholders a perfect view of leather being traded, and boxing's current emperor sat ringside, fixated on his curation of the card titled "Ring III." In between shaking hands with dignitaries, fiddling with his cap and waving for a top-up of refreshments, Alalshikh stalked the ring unbothered by any view he would restrict behind him, pulling the strings of the puppet show he had created. After May's lackluster Times Square show, the chair of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority was promised action — and boy, he got it. His recent post on X demanding fewer 'Tom and Jerry-type boxing matches' clearly hit a nerve. More so than ever, the opinion of the man that is referred to as "His Excellency" by those looking to court his attention was of ultimate importance, trumping trinkets and ranking spots on offer. After each bout concluded, you'd be forgiven for waiting on Alalshikh to give the Pollice verso thumbs up or thumbs down as to whether he had been entertained. Advertisement 'I came in here to prove a point,' Stevenson said in the ring following a unanimous decision victory over Zepeda. 'It wasn't the performance I was looking for because I came in here to try and fight, so I took more punishment than usual. But I proved that I'm a dog.' Stevenson delivered a career-best performance over the Mexican southpaw, looking flashy throughout the 36 minutes of action, standing his ground and inviting pressure from one of the most dangerous pressure fighters in the division. It was the statement that he and Alalshikh had been waiting for, quashing previous criticism of a tedious style. Sharp counters and blinding combinations gave the 11,000 in attendance a glimpse of how great Stevenson, now 28 years old, could be, with comparisons to the early years of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s reign being debated ringside. 'If you call me Jerry, I'm whooping Tom's ass,' the New Jersey fighter said to the assembled media during the preceding fight week, and although he couldn't close the show with a stoppage, Stevenson stuck to his word. Shakur Stevenson's battle with William Zepeda was Stevenson's most action-packed fight in recent memory. (Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy via Getty Images) 'Very happy Shakur delivered a great fight. Shakur gave the fans what they wanted to see and he's now more respected than ever,' Alalshikh posted on X the following day. A thumbs up from the boss. Advertisement It was more "Itchy and Scratchy" than "Tom and Jerry" in the main event. A hungry Hamzah Sheeraz made a huge splash in his first fight at 168 pounds, dropping and stopping a brave Edgar Berlanga inside a ferocious five rounds. Sheeraz has been labelled as Alalshikh's "teacher's pet" following the support he received during his February draw with Carlos Adames, but the Briton repaid the faith shown in his talent with a statement victory. It was a heavy-handed assault of a dangerous opponent, stamping his ticket to potentially fight Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in the near future. 'I promise you, I swear to you, whoever was in the ring with me today, there was no stopping me,' Sheeraz said afterward. 'The amount of abuse I got after the last fight made me a hungrier fighter.' Alalshikh has since gone on to compare Sheeraz to the great Tommy Hearns, doubling down on the pressure he is willing to place on the 26-year-old as well as his insatiable appetite for violence. Advertisement Whatever you think of boxing's latest mob boss, it's becoming harder and harder to argue with the results he is yielding. After the Times Square debacle, Saturday night in Queens acted as the perfect antidote, kickstarting Alalshikh's new "Itchy and Scratchy" era of boxing.
