Ray Winstone is developing a new TV show based in 1970s London
Ray Winstone is developing his own TV series. The 68-year-old British actor has teamed up with one of the creatives on 'The Departed' to create a new show which is set in London in the 1970s and carries on in the UK capital through the decades focusing on the dark underbelly of the city. In an interview with iFL TV, he spilled: 'I'm working on something with an old mate of mine; we worked together years ago on 'The Departed'. "We've put together a series about London from the '70s, all the way through up to today.' Before Ray starts filming that he is reprising his role as Bobby Glass in Guy Ritchie's Netflix crime drama 'The Gentlemen', which also stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario. Production on the follow-up series has begun and Ray is looking forward to getting stuck into his scenes after enjoying a break from acting. He said: 'I'm looking forward to getting back into the graft. 'Bobby Glass is back. I'm still in the prison, still nicked, but that's the best place for him. 'It's nice because I can come in and out and that way my daughter runs the business. It's a good dynamic. "I've got three scripts. I think we're moving into the legalisation of cannabis and all that stuff. 'To be honest, I haven't seen the rest of the script so I don't know where the journey goes. In a way, it's a good thing. I don't mind that with this, because some of it is all over the place. 'And then Guy edits it and puts it all together and it becomes a story. It kind of worked that way last time.' 'The Gentlemen' TV series is based on Guy's 2019 film of the same name. But Ray has never watched the crime comedy film - which starred Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant, among others - because he didn't want his own performance to be influenced by that cast and story. He said: "I'll probably watch that after I finish. 'You want to bring your own mark to it." Joining the cast of 'The Gentlemen' Series 2 is Hugh Bonneville who will be portraying a new crook. The first series of 'The Gentlemen' became one of Netflix's most-watched shows when it was released in 2024 and the new instalment is set to be released on the streaming service in early 2026. The first season saw Theo's character Eddie Horniman become the new Duke of Halstead after his father's death. Unbeknown to him initially, he also inherits an illegal cannabis farm that is located underneath his family's estate and run by the ruthless Susie Glass (Scodelario) with her crime boss father Bobby Glass (Winstone).

Notre Dame amp-up song reported to be included in major video game franchise
Notre Dame fans might be getting a little treat inside the Electronic Arts video game EA Sports College Football 26 when it launches on July 10. Fighting Irish fans who attend home games or watch them on NBC/Peacock know that the stadium operations crew plays The Dropkick Murphys' "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" to fire up the crowd just before kickoff. The song, which was also popularized in the 2006 movie The Departed and is a staple of rowdy bars every St. Patrick's Day, might be included in the game. Whether that will only be for when the player is playing as the Irish and it's a home game, or for every Notre Dame home game (i.e. if the player is playing as another school visiting a computer-controlled Irish squad), remains to be seen. Notre Dame won't be the only school getting this treatment -- Virginia Tech's use of the Metallica classic "Enter Sandman" might also be replicated in the virtual world, along with others. Apparently, when it comes to pump-up music, "it's in the game."

Ray Winstone wants to retire to Italy
Ray Winstone wants to move to Italy full-time. The 'Sexy Beast' star, 68, has been spending more time in Sicily in recent years and hopes to make the island his permanent home so he can enjoy a life in the sunshine with his wife Elaine, but he's still going "backwards and forwards" to the UK because he wants to spend time with his kids and his grandchildren as they are growing up. Ray told the Daily Star: "I'm backwards and forwards from here to Sicily. My family is here in England; my kids are here. "But when we get a chance me and Elaine have a little scoot. I'm 68 now, I want to rest in the sun … I'm getting old ain't I." Ray hasn't given up acting work entirely and has several projects coming up because he needs to "pay the rent". He added: "Sometimes you have to do a job to pay the rent. But I've read three really good ones [scripts] lately and if they come off I'll be very happy. You know when you read them, it's not a question of turning them down, it's thank you, I'm not interested. "But then there's other times when you read something you're not quite sure about but you need to pay the rent, so you will go and do that, you have to do that. "It's part and parcel of it; the taxman needs to be paid. B******! But there you go." One of Ray's upcoming projects is a TV series set in London in the 1970s which he's working on with the team behind hit movie 'The Departed'. In an interview with iFL TV, he spilled: 'I'm working on something with an old mate of mine; we worked together years ago on 'The Departed'. " We've put together a series about London from the '70s, all the way through up to today."

5 mission types we haven't seen yet that GTA 6 should try
Image via Rockstar Grand Theft Auto has always delivered unforgettable missions. From high-stakes heists to chaotic car chases, we've seen it all. But after decades of mayhem, it's time for Rockstar to raise the stakes with something fresh. GTA 6 could truly stand out if it dares to experiment. Here are five mission types we haven't really seen yet and that we think could change the game. 1. Civilian Identity Missions No guns. No notoriety. You're just a regular civilian with a hidden agenda. Maybe you're a journalist digging up dirt on a corrupt politician. Maybe you're a street artist trying to tag high-security zones without getting arrested. These missions would force you to navigate the world without chaos. No blowing things up. Just brains, stealth, and charm. A refreshing break from the usual carnage. GTA 6 MISSION DESIGN ENDLESS? Possible New Feature! 2. Undercover Infiltration You're not just infiltrating a gang for one mission, you're living their life. Building trust over multiple missions, rising through the ranks, all while secretly gathering intel. This isn't just a mission; it's a subplot. One wrong move and your cover's blown. Rockstar could take cues from Donnie Brasco or The Departed , layering paranoia and loyalty into every choice.

Moral Fork Missions GTA is infamous for letting you be the bad guy. But what if the missions forced you to actually choose? Do you save the hostage or complete the objective? Betray your friend or lose your reward? Every choice shapes how the story unfolds. You'd have multiple endings, dynamic alliances, and maybe a bit of guilt (for once). It's the kind of storytelling evolution GTA 6 needs . 4. Time-Locked Chaos Runs Picture this: You have 20 minutes of total in-game time to complete three massive objectives spread across the map. No breaks. No checkpoints. Every second counts. This isn't about stealth or planning; it's pure adrenaline. Think of it as GTA meets Speedrun mode . The faster, the riskier, the better. Fail, and the whole chain collapses. High stress, high reward. More GTA Stealth Missions in GTA VI!! #gta #gtavitrailer2 #gaming #gtavicecity 5. Real-Time Stealth and Covert Missions Imagine this: You're tailing a target across the city, but no dramatic car chases or shootouts. Just a silent observation. You're hacking into their phone, eavesdropping on private conversations, snapping photos from across the street, and trying not to get caught. It would be classic espionage, but GTA-style. These missions could build tension without a single bullet fired, and give players a chance to feel like an underground investigator instead of a one-man army. GTA 6 has the chance to evolve, not just graphically, but narratively. We've had enough explosions and drive-bys. These new mission types could push the franchise into deeper, riskier, and more unforgettable territory. Ready to do more than just blow stuff up? Let's hope Rockstar is, too.

Alec Baldwin's children announce they have ambitions to become everything from a quarterback to talk show host
Alec Baldwin's children have ambitions to become everything from a quarterback to talk show host. The 67-year-old actor revealed their big dreams when he shared a video on Instagram in which each of his seven children with wife Hilaria Baldwin revealed what they want to be when they grow up. 'Talk show host,' said 11-year-old Carmen Gabriela, while Rafael Thomas, nine, added: 'NFL QB.' Others in the family said they hoped to become a soccer player, an artist, an actor, a chef or a doctor. Alec reposted the video to his Instagram page with a joking caption: 'The tuition!' The actor and Hilaria, 40, have been married since 2012 and share seven children together – Carmen Gabriela, Rafael Thomas, Leonardo Ángel Charles, eight, Romeo Alejandro David, six, Eduardo 'Edu' Pao Lucas, four, María Lucía Victoria, four, and their youngest, Ilaria Catalina Irena, two, who was born in September 2022. Alec also has a daughter from his previous marriage to actor Kim Basinger – Ireland Baldwin, 29 — who has a daughter of her own, making Alec a grandfather. In April, Alec marked his 67th birthday with a family celebration at home, sharing another Instagram video in which he sits beside daughter Carmen as his children sing 'Happy Birthday' around a cake lit with candles. Alec could be heard joining in with the singing, adding over their voices: 'Happy birthday to ME.' The post, shared on Alec and Hilaria's joint account, read: 'Happy Birthday, Alec. We love you!' Ireland also paid tribute to her father on his birthday via her own Instagram, posting a photo of Alec holding up her daughter Holland in a rare public image. In her caption, Ireland wrote: 'Happy birthday to Peepaw. I'm so glad you were born. Because of your born-ness, I was born-ed. I love you!' Alec replied in the comments: 'And I love you.' The actor, known for his roles in '30 Rock' and 'The Departed', regularly posts updates about his home life and children on social media as he and his wife continue their reality show 'Meet the Baldwins'.
