The company, based out of New York and Los Angeles, will be a separate entity from Lauritano’s Brooklyn-based production banner Black Magic, which launched last summer. In addition to U.S. cinematographers, production designers, hair and make-up designers, line producers, composers, editors, costume designers, casting directors and alternative clients across various media and the physical art world, Adrenaline will represent clients overseas who are seeking opportunities in the United States.
“As a filmmaker who regularly works on set, I have an intimate understanding of the actual day-to-day work our clients do. We feel that unique perspective is instrumental,” said Lauritano in a statement to Deadline.

Liam Neeson opened up about how he really feels about UFC fighting — and Conor McGregor.
The actor recently sat down with Men’s Health to answer some of the internet’s most burning questions for him, starting with his thoughts on the mixed martial arts fighting.
“UFC, I can’t stand,” Neeson said on an episode of “Don’t Read the Comments.” “That, to me, is like a bar fight. I know the practitioners are like, ‘No, you’re wrong — the months of training we do …’ Why don’t you just grab a beer bottle and hit the other guy over the head? That’s the next stage of the UFC. I hate it.”
He also shared his thoughts on famous UFC fighter McGregor, adding, “That little leprechaun Conor McGregor, he gives Ireland a bad name. I know he’s fit, and I admire him for that. But I can’t take it.

“…the downfall and corruption of his best friend and 'Jedi' apprentice, 'Anakin Skywalker' turned evil 'Sith Lord Darth Vader'.

"It was such an incredible journey playing 'Anakin Skywalker'," said actor Hayden Christensen, who returns as 'Darth Vader' for the new series. "Of course, Anakin and 'Obi-Wan weren’t on the greatest of terms when we last saw them.

Composer Alexandre Desplat, known for his work on films like The King’s Speech, Argo and The Grand Budapest Hotel, sought to keep the “innocence” and “vibrant heart” of the Pinocchio story alive through his score in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming stop-motion film, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.
Using only wood instruments, such as a violin, piano or harp, he wanted to connect music to the 1883 novel by Carlo Collodi on which the film is based.
“I think the real key to it was always the emotion, trying to keep the vibrant heart of Pinocchio beating, and make sure that we always feel this innocence that he has,” Desplat tells The Hollywood Reporter as part of Netflix’s Playlist series. “He doesn’t know anything about anything. But he believes in everything. He’s so open-minded. That’s the beautiful thing about Pinocchio.

Kill List star Neil Maskell makes his feature directorial debut with the dark comedy Klokkenluider, which had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival. The title is Dutch for “whistleblower,” and Maskell’s script sees a couple hiding out in a remote Belgian cottage, nervously preparing to spill the beans to a newspaper journalist. When they’re joined by two bodyguards, tensions rise but relationships are formed. It’s an involving character-driven drama/thriller that recalls cult British fare such as Black Mirror, as well as the work of Maskell’s regular cohort Ben Wheatley.
After some slightly clunky establishing scenes between It guy Ewan (Amit Shah) and his wife Silke (Sura Dohnke), the film settles into a more confident comedic tone upon the arrival of Chris (Tom Burke) and Glynn (Roger Evans). A mismatched pair of heavies for hire, they’re tasked with keeping the couple safe – and also,...

2001's "Moulin Rouge" was one of those movies that just took over a section of pop culture in the moment. It was a gigantic financial success and went on to earn a great deal of critical praise, giving us the kind of musical hit that had been missing from Hollywood for a little while. It also was something of a turning point for Ewan McGregor, who plays Christian, as he demonstrated he could do so much more than wield a lightsaber on a blockbuster stage. But that role could have gone to another actor who was very much at a crucial stage in his career: Ethan Hawke.
Currently, Hawke is starring alongside McGregor "Raymond & Ray." During a chat with Screen Rant in honor of the film's release, Hawe addressed his near-miss when it came to landing the co-lead role opposite Nicole Kidman in Baz Luhrmann's hit musical. As far as Hawke is concerned,...

Nicholas Braun’s first Emmy nomination for “Succession” in 2020 was a surprise to many. At that point, the show had yet to receive any acting bids and the Best Supporting Actor category seemed more likely to be filled by Braun’s co-stars Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen (both of whom were nominated as well). But his character Greg Hirsch (Cousin Greg) has become a fan favorite on the HBO series, and he is once again nominated alongside his co-stars. In fact, the third season of “Succession” set the record for most acting nominations with 14 total.
Braun’s entry for consideration is the season’s fifth episode titled “Retired Janitors of Idaho.” It’s an acting showcase as guest stars James Cromwell, Arian Moayed and Hope Davis are all nominated for their performances in this installment as well. In the episode prior to this, Greg signed a joint defense agreement with...
