Link Tank: The Leads of True Detective Season 4 Are Set
There are new detectives headed to HBO, Millie Bobbie Brown will be in the Russo Brother's next movie, all the cameos in The Boys last episode, and more in Link Tank!
HBO confirms season 4 of True Detective, now with the subtitle Night Country, and the series’ two series leads.
“Time truly is a flat circle, baby, because True Detective is back. HBO has officially ordered a fourth installment of the acclaimed drama series, titled True Detective: Night Country. Actor and world champion boxer, Kali Reis, is set to star alongside Jodie Foster, whose role was announced in May. Reis made her acting debut in sex trafficking revenge thriller, Catch The Fair One. She will also appear in the upcoming film, Black Flies, opposite Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan. Reis is a motivational speaker and supporter of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls movement.”
Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal are set to star in a western short film described as an answer to Brokeback Mountain.
“News broke earlier today that 3 comments and Ethan Hawke will join the 30-minute western titled Strange Way of Life from director Pedro Almodóvar. Hawke is playing Jake, a sheriff who lives on the opposite side of the desert from Pedro Pascal’s Silva, a gunslinger. While Almodóvar calls it his answer to Brokeback Mountain, it instantly piqued my interest because not only do I love Hawke and Pascal, but now I maybe get to see the two of them kiss? I’m instantly on board.”
Stranger Things breakout star Millie Bobbie Brown will star in the Russo Brother’s upcoming film Electric State.
“Netflix is already queuing up more big budget streaming fare with the Russo Brothers after their upcoming action release The Gray Man. This time they’re enlisting Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown to lead an adaptation of Electric State. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news, noting that Chris Pratt is also in talks to join the cast and re-team with his Avengers directors. The film was originally set up at Universal.”
After rumors surfaced that Johnny Depp was heading back to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, his representatives quickly shut it down.
“A representative for Johnny Depp has denied rumors claiming the actor could be returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for a $301 million USD deal. Speaking to PEOPLE, the rep simply called the report ‘false’ after stories claimed that “Disney are very interested in patching up their relationship with Johnny Depp” with the $301 million USD payday. The source added, “They reached out to the actor prior to his defamation trial against Amber Heard and asked whether he would be interested in returning for another ‘Pirates’ film or two.”
The Boys parodied the infamous “Imagine” video from 2020 with a plethora of celebrity cameos. Here are the stars featured in their rendition.
“‘Herogasm,’ the sixth episode in season 3 of The Boys, is streaming now on Amazon Prime. While fans knew it was going to be one of the show’s most graphic episodes yet just based on the title alone, what they weren’t necessarily prepared for was another amazing pop culture parody.”
Ethan Hawke’s villain in The Black Phone has quickly established himself as an early horror legend.
“Ethan Hawke, once and still the archetypical Hollywood leading man of tender romantic comedies and gritty cop movies alike is downright unrecognizable as a serial kidnapper with a flair for the dramatic in Scott Derrickson’s lissome The Black Phone. Far from his lovelorn vacationing writer in Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy, Hawke appears fleshed with the textures of a bonafide horror franchise mascot and the raw intensity of something very eldritch. The Black Phone is simply Hawke doing great stuff, albeit at the cost of everything else.”
