Stick trailer: Owen Wilson seeks redemption through young prodigy in sports comedy seres
Apple TV+ on Thursday released the trailer for their sports comedy series titled Stick. Created by Jason Keller, who has written films like Ford v. Ferrari (2019), Escape Plan (2013) and Machine Gun Preacher (2011), the show revolves around a former pro golfer, Pryce Cahill, played by Owen Wilson. The trailer starts with a scene in a bar, where Cahill is presumably drowning his sorrows after a long day when he is recognised by Mitts (Marc Maron). Much to Cahill's dismay, Mitts proceeds to narrate the story of his downfall to the entire bar, and how he had a breakdown on live television during a tournament. To add injury to insult, he does this while laughing at him and saying, 'Bet you can't even look at a golf club after a train wreck like that, right?' Watch Teaser | Denzel Washignton and Spike Lee reunite for Highest 2 Lowest, featuring ASAP Rocky and Jeffrey Wright The scene transitions to a montage of the life of Stick (Pryce Cahill's moniker), where he reflects, 'Things were supposed to be different for me. I look in the mirror, and I would not bet on the guy.' This montage also depicts his divorce proceedings, revealing his struggle to cope and his denial. He is even seen receiving a lackluster pep talk from Mitts, the same man who previously insulted him. Finally, Cahill is shown teaching golf to seniors, his attention suddenly captured by the crisp sound of a well-hit ball. He follows the sound and discovers a kid who, in Cahill's words, 'swings the golf club like a dream,' and to no one's surprise, he tries to convince the kid to become his student. In a twist no one saw coming, the young talent had a tough childhood, and his father, who taught him golf, has passed away. Cahill convinces his mother to let him take the kid to the US amateur championship and tells her that he thinks 'he can win it all'. The main narrative of the series seems to be pretty clear, as Pryce Cahill will try to coach the kid to glory while he will learn some truths about himself along the way. The show, also starring Peter Dager, Lili Kay and Judy Greer, will start streaming from June 4 on Apple TV+.

Sylvester Stallone suffers embarrassing career record after becoming Trump's ‘envoy'
Sylvester Stallone has suffered an embarrassing career record days after being named Trump 's 'Hollywood ambassaor'. Ahead of the president's inauguration last week, he revealed that Rocky star Stallone, Jon Voight and Mel Gibson would be his 'special envoys' tasked with making Hollywood 'bigger, better and stronger than ever before'. Things aren't off to a good start for Stallone following the release of his new film Alarum. The actor stars in the action-thriller about two married spies (Scott Eastwood and Willa Fitzgerald) who are suspected of going rogue. At the time of writing on Monday (27 January), the film has a critical score of zero per cent on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. This makes it Stallone's lowest-rated film in his five-decade career. For comparison, his lowest-rated film ahead of Alarum was 2014 comedy thriller Reach Me, which amassed four per cent, 2018 sequel Escape Plan 2: Hades (eight per cent) and the drama Backtrace (2018), which has nine per cent. Alarum 's audience score isn't much better; it has a paltry 20 per cent. However, there are two Stallone films considered even worse by the public, with Escape Plan sequels The Extractors (2019) and Hades sitting at 13 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively. If you're wondering where the actor's much-derided 1992 comedy Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot ranks, it has a 14 per cent critics score and a 23 per cent audience score. Stallone emerged as a Trump supporter after the election, calling the next president 'a mythical character' and his election win a feat that nobody else 'in the world could have pulled off'. He added: 'When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was going to change the world. Because without him, you can imagine what the world would look like. Guess what, we got the second George Washington.' The position he's been granted by Trump is not official in the eyes of the US government and it's unclear exactly what he will be expected to do as a 'special ambassador' alongside Voight and Gibson.
