Josh Brolin finds Weapons opposite to all the same... content on streamers
Washington DC [US], August 12 (ANI): Actor Josh Brolin is tired of 'all the same sh**" that's on streamers, so he decided to join Zach Cregger's 'Weapons', according to The Hollywood Reporter.'Weapons' is a mystery horror film, written, co-produced, and directed by Zach Cregger. The film stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. The Oscar-nominated actor recently shared how the horror mystery pic is the solution to all the boring content. 'You're looking for great filmmakers, and you're hoping that there's another new good filmmaker out there," he said.'Right now, with so much content, you're just watching things on whatever streaming service you're on, and you're just going, '…why is this so boring, man? Why?' And just go to the next thing. It's all the same…"Brolin added of 'Weapons', 'And then somebody not only takes the horror genre, but then f* with it and then does something on the edge of absurdity, and it's sort of humorous, so it's keeping you off-balance enough for him to have an emotional impact, ultimately, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is all about a community in chaos after all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanishes on the same night at precisely the same time. The small town is then left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance, as per the outlet. 'Weapons' not only won over critics and audiences but also came in more than USD10 million ahead of expectations for its opening weekend with USD 42.5 previously told The Hollywood Reporter that 'it seems like horror is one of the few outlets for real creativity right now on a big scale."'Without horror, you go to the theatre, and you get people in tights for USD 200 million, and there's not a lot of room for risk in those movies. And no shade, I'm all for entertainment, entertaining. But, it's a shame that there's not a lot of room for anything else," the Barbarian director shared, adding, 'I love horror, my creative tuning fork resonates strongly with horror, so I'm lucky in that regard. I dearly wish that we could have cool, edgy, weird comedies back in the movie theatres. Or dramatic fare for adults in the theatre. I feel like there's not a lot of movies for grown-ups anymore," according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)

Steven Spielberg's 7-Word Response to When He'll Retire From Hollywood
It's hard to imagine a world in which Steven Spielberg isn't making movies—so much so that even the three-time Oscar winner doesn't want to envision it. The Jaws creator was on hand Thursday night for the dedication of a new, state-of-the-art theater just steps from Universal Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter.'It's not just a place that is founded on his extraordinary legacy but it is a place of future hopes and dreams of filmmakers, of storytellers who are you going to take this company into the next 100 years, and the 100 after that,' enthused NBCUniversal Entertainment chairman Donna Langley, who has shared a very rare 50 years of making movies with Spielberg. When it was finally Spielberg's turn to speak, it was clear just how emotional—and touching—a moment it was for the beloved filmmaker. He spoke about witnessing the changing fortunes of the studio first-hand, and how thrilling it was to see the company become what it is today, which he described as 'The rebirth of the belief in the people that work as a family, as a community, as a team to make good thing happen. Spielberg, 78, concluded his remarks by answering the one question on everyone's mind that was never asked of him: When does he plan to retire? 'I'm making a lot of movies,' Spielberg said, 'and I have no plans ever to retire.' The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Spielberg separately from his speech, and asked about what films were still on his bucket list. He shared that he has 'an appetite for a Western which I will someday hopefully do… It's something that's eluded me for all of these decades.' Steven Spielberg's 7-Word Response to When He'll Retire From Hollywood first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 27, 2025
