Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, Daisy Edgar-Jones team up for Netflix heist thriller Here Comes the Flood
Netflix's upcoming thriller Here Comes the Flood has assembled a powerhouse cast, with Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Daisy Edgar-Jones set to lead the film. The crime drama will be helmed by City of God director Fernando Meirelles, who also produces alongside Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon under the Genre Films banner. Kinberg, best known for his work across the X-Men franchise and The 355, penned the script for the original feature, which Netflix snapped up in 2020 following a highly competitive bidding war. The project has seen several iterations since, with Jason Bateman once in talks to direct.

A Turn as Trump Made Sebastian Stan an Unlikely Oscar Nominee
For years, it seemed fair to assume that the actor Sebastian Stan could make a career on both sides of Hollywood. There was dabbling in juicy supporting roles — he played the ex-husbands of both Tonya Harding and Pamela Anderson — while comfortably returning to the action-hero part for which he is best known: Bucky Barnes. As the erstwhile sidekick of Captain America, Stan has been a regular in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies since 2011 (including 'Thunderbolts*,' which hits theaters in May). There are surely worse fates than simply maintaining that balance. 'There's a group of actors — I'll put Colin Farrell in this group as well — that are so handsome that in some sense it works against them,' said Jessica Chastain, Stan's friend and castmate in 'The Martian' and 'The 355.' While being too good-looking a movie star may be world's-smallest-violin territory, a whirlwind year with two standout unconventional performances now has the 42-year-old cast in a very different light. It has also already brought in some leading-man hardware, with more maybe to come. In the surreal comedy 'A Different Man,' an actor who has a condition that distorts his facial features has a medical procedure to make himself instead look classically attractive — specifically, to look like Sebastian Stan. Stan's gutsy subversion of his looks won him the Silver Bear for leading performance at last year's Berlin International Film Festival and the Golden Globe for acting in a comedy or musical last month. The other movie, 'The Apprentice,' is about a showy, morally questionable real estate mogul in 1970s and '80s New York named Donald J. Trump. Stan plays Trump, his looks this time buried underneath both considerable physical makeup and all the figurative baggage viewers bring to the subject. From the movie's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last May, it was unclear if the film would find distribution and open in theaters, let alone be a part of awards season discussion.
