Eric Bana reveals what he almost took from Netflix's 'Untamed' set, talks Marvel future
NEW YORK - Eric Bana thought about taking something from the set of Netflix's "Untamed" back home to Australia: the horse he rides in the new limited series about an agent investigating a death at Yosemite National Park. "It was expensive," Bana, 56, says of the cost to transport a horse from British Columbia, where the show was filmed. "I'm not even sure if he was for sale, but I looked into it. I was going to smuggle him." Bana jokes that his wife Rebecca would have had no issue with the addition to the household, "so long as it was (my) responsibility." The actor has two pets, a poodle and a Burmese cat, and confirms that both "live in harmony" together. Bana tackles demons and a murder case in 'Untamed' "Untamed" is set in Yosemite National Park. Bana stars as Kyle Turner, the special agent investigating the death of a woman in the park. As the case unfolds, so does Turner's past, which includes the death of his son, a struggle with alcohol abuse and a divorce. "There's a shared trauma between the two of them," Bana says of the relationship between Turner and his ex-wife Jill (Rosemary DeWitt)." Their son's death "affects him, as it would any human. It's a very spiritual connection that he has with the park as a result and with nature. And we really try and tap into that." Bana says he received the script of the pilot episode as early as 2018, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood strikes delayed production. He also signed on as an executive producer, something he does, "when I really feel like I want to be extremely supportive of the original vision and not have it diluted at all. There's a version of this show that you could sell to someone and (the studio says), 'Yeah, we'll make this show. Do you really need to go to that location? Do you really need that much time in the forest?'" he says. "Luckily, in this case, we were all moving in the same direction." Bana's succinct response to a Marvel return Bana played the title character in the 2003 film "Hulk," but he wasn't asked to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Edward Norton also made a single appearance as the superhero, in 2008's "The Incredible Hulk.") Would he ever consider it, as fans speculate he might for "Avengers: Secret Wars," due in 2027? The actor offers a firm "no." "It was a one'er for me," he adds of the MCU experience. "I love doing what I'm doing (now)."

How much is Florida football's program worth? The Athletic ranks FBS teams by valuation
College football is a big business these days. In fact, the sport is among the biggest cash printers out there when it comes to the entertainment industry, creating billions of dollars of revenue every year. With NIL now here and the collegiate gridiron turned into a de facto professional league, one might wonder how much each school's program is worth as a whole — like how pro sports franchises have a value based on the fiscal aspects of the entity. The Athletic's Matt Baker attempted to answer this query in his rankings of every Power 4 team by how much they'd sell for, in which he put together some numbers based on what we know about the business side of these operations. Of course, he offers the following caveat: "Do not take our numbers to the bank, literally or metaphorically. Instead, consider this a fun attempt at blending back-of-the-envelope math with common sense to price college programs like their professional peers — an exercise that's theoretical for now … but might not be much longer," Baker warns. So, where do the Florida Gators stand in these data? Florida football's valuation, ranking per The Athletic According to Baker's math, the Gators are the 12th most-valuable program in the country and seventh most-valuable in the Southeastern Conference. "The Gators are also pursuing a major stadium upgrade that would significantly change the revenue picture; in January, the chairperson of the university's board of trustees publicly floated a $1 billion price tag for the project," he offers. It is also noted that Florida's average annual football revenue is $98.5 million. However, Baker's counterpoint has been a source of agony for the Orange and Blue faithful. "Florida's downside remains its on-field product. USC is the only other program in our top 12 that has never made the College Football Playoff, and the Gators have suffered through four consecutive seasons without finishing ranked." SEC schools among top-30-ranked program values A full dozen of the conference's 16 member schools cracked the top 30 of The Athletic's college football program valuations, with the Gators sitting near the midpoint at No. 7 among SEC programs. The Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs occupy the two top spots in the league as well as overall, respectively, while the Alabama Crimson Tide (No. 6 overall, No. 3 in SEC), Oklahoma Sooners (No. 7 overall, No. 4 in SEC), Tennessee Volunteers (No. 9 overall, No. 5 in SEC) and LSU Tigers (No. 10 overall, No. 6 in SEC) round out the top 10. After Florida follow the Auburn Tigers (No. 13 overall, No. 8 in SEC), Texas A&M Aggies (No. 15 overall, No. 9 in SEC), Arkansas Razorbacks (No. 23 overall, No. 10 in SEC), Ole Miss Rebels (No. 25 overall, No. 11 in SEC) and South Carolina Gamecocks (No. 257 overall, No. 12 in SEC).

Menendez brother calls 'Monsters' actor from prison to celebrate Emmy nomination for portrayal
Joseph "Lyle" Menendez, one of two Beverly Hills brothers convicted of shotgunning his parents from behind in 1989, used a prison phone to call the actor who portrayed his brother on the recent Netflix show, "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," to congratulate him on his first-ever Emmy nomination, according to a new report. Cooper Koch, 29, played the younger Menendez, who, along with his brother, snuck up behind their parents and opened fire while they were watching TV and eating ice cream in their living room. He was reportedly on the phone with Variety discussing his recently announced nomination when Lyle beeped in from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego. "He was just like, 'Congratulations, I'm so excited for you. I saw you were at Wimbledon. I was so jealous,'" Koch told the outlet after a 10-minute hold. "I said, 'Well, I've been back in tennis lessons, so I'm getting ready to play you and beat you when you're out.'" Koch received the nod for Best Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The competition includes Colin Farrell, who played the starring role in "The Penguin" on HBO. Koch played Lyle's younger brother, Erik, a former nationally ranked junior tennis player, in the Netflix series. "I know them now. I feel like they're my friends, like my brothers," Koch told the outlet. "So it does kind of feel normal. It'll feel way better when they're out of there." The Menendez brothers, 57 and 54 years old, recently received sentence reductions from a Los Angeles judge. Koch showed up for at least one of their hearings during the ordeal. Initially serving life sentences with no chance for parole, they both have hearings coming up before the end of summer that could lead to their release. The bloody crime, in which the duo ambushed their parents in the living room of their mansion before blaming the mob and going on a spending spree, saw renewed attention in recent years, thanks in part to "Monsters" as well as a batch of true-crime documentaries that introduced the crime and evidence that their father had been sexually abusing them to a new generation. They claimed they killed their parents in self-defense, allegedly fearing for their lives after they told their father they would expose his child sex abuse. Separately from their sentence reductions, the brothers are seeking a new trial, alleging that evidence of that abuse had been suppressed from their second trial, which ended with convictions for both of them. That evidence includes claims from Roy Rosello, a former boy band star in the 1980s group, Menudo, who also alleged sex abuse at their father's hands. The brothers had used evidence of sex abuse in their first trial, which ended in a mistrial. Much of it was excluded the second time around. Their petition for a new trial is pending. They will appear before the California parole board on August 21 and 22.
