Influencer marketing agency Billion Dollar Boy is launching a new membership community that’s “dedicated to empowering emerging creators in the business of being a creator.”
The community, called FiveTwoNine, will have both online and offline components, including a flagship space in London. That space will soon open for a four-month pilot phase where, in partnership with FiveTwoNine’s founding brand partner, Lipton, and six founding creators/creator brands (more on them in a sec), it’ll offer free access to amenities like soundproofed recording rooms, a podcast studio, and meeting spaces.
After the four-month pilot period, access to the London space–and any other future brick-and-morter spaces–will be priced on a tiered basis, “which will be introduced at flexible rates determined by the depth of resources and masterclasses creators wish to access,” Billion Dollar Boy says.
FiveTwoNine’s online component launches this fall, and will operate on a similar tiered pricing structure.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe established a stronghold over pop culture in the 2010s, taking on comic book roles became a lucrative trend for actors of all ages. But after the overwhelming success of “Avengers: Endgame,” esteemed thespians who joined superhero franchises often found themselves chasing another milestone: A dramatic death scene.
Michael Douglas has made no secret of the fact that he hopes his “Ant-Man” character Hank Pym receives an on-screen death sequence. While promoting the most recent franchise entry “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” the actor quipped that he would only return for a fourth film “as long as I can die.” But as it turns out, he privately lobbied for a death scene even earlier than that.
In a recent appearance on “The View” (via Entertainment Weekly), Douglas revealed that he requested to have his character killed off in “Quantumania.” While Kevin Feige and company didn’t ultimately honor his wishes,...

David Dastmalchian may have played his part in Marvel, DC, and everything in between, but it is his latest horror flick – Late Night With the Devil – that has scratched an old itch concerning the ballooning budget of the Cbm industry. The character actor, who has dipped his toes in numerous creative pools, has finally discovered a way for comic book films and television adaptations to retract their claws from sticking too far down Hollywood’s deep pockets.

As President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “It is a splendid thing that for just fifteen cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles.”
Few Hollywood stars were ever as big — or little — as Shirley Temple. This dimpled darling with her bouncy corkscrew curls and delightful tap-dance routines brought cheer and spread sunshine to moviegoers during the darkest days of the Great Depression. She was the No. 1 box-office draw from 1935 to 1938 and was the first child star to be presented with a special Juvenile Academy Award for her big-screen contributions during 1934. She even had her own line of licensed merchandise including look-alike dolls, dishes and clothing. Before 1935 ended, her income from licensed goods would be more than $100,000 – doubling what she made from her movies.

In Hamilton McFadden's 1934 film "Stand Up and Cheer!," the unnamed off-screen president (actually Franklin D. Roosevelt) posits that the real reason for Great Depression was a sudden crisis of optimism. Additionally, wicked bankers were running amok and getting rich while the rest of the nation starved, leaving everyone nihilistic and horrified. The wasteful and corrupt Warren Harding administration followed by the Crash of '29 isn't mentioned, as McFadden's film sought to cheer people up, not make their depression — and the Depression — any worse. In "Stand Up and Cheer!," Fdr created a Department of Amusement and appoints a secretary (Warner Baxter) to oversee a feel-good, nationwide show to keep morale up.
The bulk of the 80-minute film is a series of auditions in the secretary's office wherein performers come in to sing and dance, effectively turning the movie into a revue. Modern audiences may bristle at some racist caricatures, notably actress...

Fans lined up in the rain recently at the Linwood Dunn Theatre in Hollywood eager to screen “Franklin,” the new Apple TV+ limited series about Benjamin Franklin’s trip to France in 1776 to try and convince the king to fund America’s fight for independence.
Based on Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” the show also spotlights the relationship between Franklin (Michael Douglas) and his grandson Temple (Noah Jupe) Temple, who accompanies his grandfather to France.
Director Tim Van Patten, who steered the ship for all eight episodes, explained during a Q&a following the screening that shooting a period piece in Europe was no easy task, “It was such a beautiful experience, but it was physically daunting.” Carriages were brought in, nearly 500 background actors in full hair, makeup and costume were utilized every day for seven weeks and somehow “everyday was like magic,...

Two of America’s founding fathers are fed up. Aside from their shared belief in a bold new experiment called the United States, Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) and John Adams (Eddie Marsan) don’t often see eye to eye, and their conflicting visions have only strayed further during negotiations with France. Adams doesn’t see the point in spending so much time catering to one European king while they’re trying to assert their independence from another. Franklin knows the path to freedom comes with tolls that only the French can pay. But more to the point, he knows the French. He knows their customs, their language, and their comportment. Adams’ attempts to speak French are almost as disastrous as his impatience with their languid dealmaking, and after an unnecessary setback, his co-emissary tries to warn him.

Plot: In December 1776, Benjamin Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments. But his passion and power are put to the test when he embarks on a secret mission to France—with the fate of American independence hanging in the balance.
Review: Of all the television and big screen depictions of the Revolutionary War and the early days of the United States, few have focused specifically on Benjamin Franklin. The scientist, inventor, scholar, and dignitary has been a key character in many projects, notably played by Tom Wilkinson in HBO’s John Adams and by Howard De Silva in the musical 1776, but always as a supporting player. Despite being one of the Founding Fathers and having his iconic visage gracing the one hundred dollar bill, the first narrative production centered on his life is just now being released.

When pondering the Revolutionary War, specific inflection points come to mind. The Boston Massacre of 1770, Paul Revere’s midnight warning in 1775 and the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 are often the main topics of conversation. However, much more went on during the nearly two-decade-long battle that led to the 13 colonies’ independence from England. Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Stacy Schiff’s novel, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” Apple TV+’s “Franklin” recounts inventor Benjamin Franklin’s eight-year mission in France where he schemed and plotted to foster a Franco-American alliance. What should be a sparkling recounting of a pivotal moment in U.S. history is flattened, becoming a mind-numbing and belabored affair of wig-wearing men shouting at each other in dark rooms.
Created by Kirk Ellis and Howard Korder, the series opens in December 1776. Though the Declaration of Independence had been signed three months prior,...

When he arrived in France in 1776, Benjamin Franklin had a sort of global fame that’s hard to completely fathom, given a world of slow-traveling news in which “social media” took the form of arduously printed and even more arduously distributed pamphlets. He’d been a diplomat, journalist, publisher and prolific inventor, but he was more widely known for semi-apocryphal things like “inventing” electricity, as well as his mastery of glib wisdom we’d call “sound bites” today.
Franklin’s mission, undertaken with no official governmental mandate, was to enlist France’s support — money, supplies, ships and soldiers — in the burgeoning war for American independence. His celebrity, particularly its more frivolous aspects (matched with an international perception of frivolous “Americans”), was both a boon and a disservice to his cause. It’s as if we sent MrBeast to negotiate peace in the Middle East, if MrBeast suffered from gout and...

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has not been working for quite some time now. The franchise started strong. Venom was a hit among fans and breathed life into an iconic comic book character in the best of ways. Unfortunately, everything that has followed since then has been catastrophic.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage was a massive disappointment fan, and being followed by Morbius did not help its case. The most recent addition to this universe, Madame Web, reached a new low when it comes to Marvel.

Rescued singularly by Tom Hardy and his utter commitment to his titular character of an alien symbiote with an attitude issue, Venom blew at the box office. But the sequel, directed by Andy Serkis, turned out to be the least passable spin on the buddy comedy. Right from the second installment, the Venom franchise gradually started degrading.

Being a part of the extended Spider-Man Universe, Tom Hardy’s Venom movies were supposed to have a larger fanbase, but unfortunately, they failed to make an impact. Now, after one hit and a mediocre sequel that barely stood a chance at the box office, Sony is back with a threequel. Starring Ted Lasso actress Juno Temple, the movie is said to be directed by Kelly Marcel. However, despite the stellar cast, fans are not convinced to watch the movie.

Juno Temple recently spilled the beans on ‘Venom 3’, revealing that the film is almost done shooting. She chatted with Variety at the 2024 SAG Awards and couldn’t hide her excitement. She mentioned it’s been a thrilling adventure on such a massive set and working with an amazing team. Temple is new to the ‘Venom‘ series, joining other actors like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Clark Backo in this latest installment. With Kelly Marcel directing and Tom Hardy co-writing, there’s a lot of buzz around this film.
Filming faced delays last year due to the SAG-AFTRA strike but got back on track in November. Hardy, who’s back as Eddie Brock, has put his heart into this project, according to Temple. She believes no one else could nail the Venom role as he does.

“We’re coming close to an end at the moment,” Temple said. “It’s been a wild, wonderful ride. It’s so new to me. It’s a big set! This is crazy. It’s been so much fun and I got to work with such cool people. I’ve been so lucky in my career to just have the most incredible casts. I can’t wait for it to get out into the world.

Dot thought her quarrel with Munch was settled when he saved her and freed her at Roy’s ranch so she could put a stop to the latter’s vicious cycle of abuse once and for all, but a year after Roy ended up in handcuffs, Dot and her daughter Scotty (Sienna King) arrived home to see Munch sitting in their living room with their respective, unsuspecting husband and father, Wayne (David Rysdahl...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 5 of “Fargo,” now airing on FX and streaming on Hulu.
Juno Temple leads the fifth season of “Fargo” as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a Minnesota housewife whose past begins to catch up to her. When Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), the abusive ex-husband she escaped, sets out to find her, her survivalist side is revealed. As she lays out booby traps and lights men on fire to avoid being kidnapped, she earns the fitting nickname of “tiger.”
But for Temple, what made Dot a compelling character was not just the traits that made her a tiger, but also the qualities that made her a good mother. The show’s creator Noah Hawley told Variety that Dot’s true weapon is her kindness — which Temple said she “couldn’t agree more with.” She added that Dot also wanted deeply to have a mother figure of her own.

Note: This story contains spoilers from the “Fargo” Season 5 finale.
As touching as Juno Temple’s role on “Fargo” may have been for fans of the FX anthology series, it’s a relationship that goes both ways. The actress described her time on Noah Hawley’s anthology series as both “terrifying” and “one of the most extraordinary experiences” of her career.
“Characters like Dot [do] not come along very often, definitely not to me. I’m eternally grateful to Noah [Hawley] for having the faith in me to play her,” Temple told TheWrap after the crime-drama’s Season 5 finale on Tuesday. “She’s made me a much, much more aware, insightful, maybe even motherly woman. Also, it was something that challenged me in a way that I want to be challenged. I want to feel terrified every day before I go to work because I want to make people proud. This job did that in spades.

[This story contains major spoilers from the season five finale of Fargo.]
When speaking about the essence of Fargo, show creator Noah Hawley says every season only needs two things: an element of crime, and decency. Few characters embodied those ideas better in season five than Witt Farr, the more than decent state trooper bravely battling a criminal element all season long to help out Juno Temple’s Dorothy Lyon.
Played by New Girl and Woke alum Lamorne Morris, Farr barely made it out of the season premiere alive, when Sam Spruell’s menacing Ole Munch came knocking on Dot’s door. Unfortunately, Farr was not able to cheat death twice. Morris’ straight-and-narrow state trooper was the major casualty in the season five finale, killed by Jon Hamm’s menacing Roy Tillman. Farr pursued a fleeing Tillman into a tunnel, and had the man dead to rights, but decided he could not shoot in cold blood. That decent decision costs Farr his life,...

Warning: The following post contains spoilers about tonight’s fifth season finale of FX’s Fargo, “Bisquik”
Who knew a TV series based on an iconic Oscar-winning Coen Brothers noir movie had so much juice in it five seasons out?
But Fargo series creator Noah Hawley continues to prove that there’s a thousand bodies buried in those Minnesota snow drifts.
Granted, M.A.S.H. ran for 11 seasons; the industry joke being that the CBS show ran longer than the actual three-year Korean War. But similar to how Larry Gelbart pulled a relentless amount of inspiration from that 1970 Robert Altman, Hawley’s mind for ‘true stories’ about folksy Scandinavian-Midwesterners isn’t blank yet like a freshly fallen snow.
Typically, especially in streaming times, a series checks out around season 3, and to see Fargo in a renaissance, testosterone mode this season has even given Hawley a new sense of hope for the FX series.

This article contains spoilers for season 5, episode 8 of "Fargo." It also deals with domestic violence and reader discretion is advised.
No one expects stories told within the "Fargo" franchise to be light and fluffy, but season 5 of the anthology television series is absolutely brutal. There has been plenty of violence, familial dysfunction, and cruelty in previous seasons of the series, but almost nothing holds a candle to the viciousness of Jon Hamm's Sheriff Roy Tillman. Roy has no problem killing people in order to get his way, much like many of the series' other villains, but he also really has no problem abusing his wives. He even thinks the abuse is fully justified, at one point comparing his second wife Nadine (Juno Temple) to a wild horse that needs to be broken. Nadine managed to escape Roy and lived with a new husband, a new name, and even a daughter,...

Don’t underestimate Juno Temple’s endearing and indefatigable ‘Fargo’ character at the Golden Globes
Juno Temple has certainly moved on from the sweet world of AFC Richmond and “Ted Lasso” for her latest role in Noah Hawley’s crime anthology series “Fargo.” Its fifth installment kicks off with her character Dorothy Lyon accidentally tasing a police officer in a school board meeting brawl and progresses to her ingeniously boobytrapping her house “Home Alone”-style to ward off multiple kidnapping attempts. Through it all, Temple has balanced Dot’s chipper nature with her dark, harrowing past, and her work has netted her a Golden Globe nomination, the first of her career.
Temple currently ranks fourth in our combined odds in the Limited/Movie Actress category, trailing category frontrunner Ali Wong (“Beef”) as well as Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”) and Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones & The Six”). While those other performers all have advantages — “Beef” in particularly looks to sweep the Limited categories with wins for limited series,...

FX’s “Fargo” is facing some tough competition at the Golden Globes this year in the form of Netflix’s “Beef.” Noah Hawley‘s anthology limited series follows a different cast and storyline every season with the latest installment, the fifth season, featuring the likes of Jon Hamm, Juno Temple, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. This story follows a kidnapping gone wrong that leads to implications for many.
This season has fared well, garnering three Golden Globe nominations: Best Limited Series/TV Movie, Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actor for Hamm, and Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actress for Temple. These two acting bids add to the Golden Globes history of “Fargo,” which has often done well in snagging nominations for its cast. Here’s the breakdown.
The first season saw Billy Bob Thornton win Best Limited Series/TV Movie in 2015 while co-star Martin Freeman was also nominated in the same category.

[Warning” This article contains spoilers for “Fargo” Season 5, Episode 7.]
Over the first six episodes of “Fargo” Season 5, audiences have put together Dorothy Lyon’s backstory. Abused by the misogynist Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), Dot (Juno Temple) escaped and started a new life under a new name, becoming a wife and mother who is now willing to go to any lengths to protect her family. But in the seventh episode, “Linda,” Dot finally shares the extent of her abuse through a marionette show.
There’s a very good reason why Dot uses marionettes to recount meeting the kindly Linda as a teen and moving in with Linda, her husband, Roy, and their son: She’s tracked Linda down at a commune for formerly abused women, and this is how they all share their stories. But “Fargo” uses the art form to create something out of one of the darker Grimm Brothers tales, a horrifying glimpse into...

Updated: A top executive with the Motion Picture Association plans to urge lawmakers on Wednesday to pursue legislation to combat piracy by court-mandated site blocking, something that major studios believe is needed to curb infringement originating outside of U.S. jurisdiction.
The MPA wants legislation that would enable content companies to seek court injunctive relief that would require internet service providers and other intermediaries to disable access to an infringing site.
“We urge Congress to consider reasonable and tailored no-fault injunctive relief as one proven way to combat digital piracy and its negative impact on the creative industries and our economy as a whole,” Karyn A. Temple, the MPA’s senior executive vice president and global general counsel, said, according to her prepared remarks to a House subcommittee.

Rarely if ever has a show spun away from its source material as creatively and consistently as "Fargo." Across the FX show's five seasons and counting, "Fargo" has changed locations, casts, and plotlines time after time, keeping only a few core tenets: a teasing love of all things Midwestern, a knack for pitch-black comedy and startling violence, and a coterie of familiar character archetypes including the smarter-than-average small-town cop and the near-superpowered killer.
These elements originated with Joel and Ethan Coen's 1996 film of the same name, from which "Fargo" has at times pulled threads of its plot or recreated scenes -- always with a twist, as when two assassins came for housewife Dot (Juno Temple) in the latest season. Yet by now, "Fargo" has become a true anthology, stringing together largely unrelated season-long arcs and creating a rich world all its own.

For the last five years, Fargo star David Rysdahl has been quietly turning in a number of quality performances, and now the audience and industry alike are catching on.
Beginning with Dead Pigs, Cathy Yan’s feature directorial debut premiered at 2018’s Sundance Film Festival garnering Rysdahl and the rest of the cast a special jury prize for ensemble acting. But despite the recognition and rave reviews, the foreign-language film failed to receive distribution until a year after Yan’s second feature, Birds of Prey, had been released by Warners in 2020. That same year, Rysdahl stood out again in another Sundance darling, Edson Oda’s Nine Days.
Everything would soon change for Rysdahl in 2022, when he was cast in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, Black Mirror season six and Noah Hawley’s fifth season of Fargo. In the latter project, Rysdahl plays Wayne Lyon, a well-intentioned car salesman,...

There's a fair amount of special effects makeup required to make the FX series "Fargo" come to life, in large part because of the brutal violence that plays out every season. On season 5, however, there was a very different kind of prosthetic work required, and it had everything to do with Jon Hamm's character, a conservative Christian sheriff who's as corrupt as they come. Hamm plays North Dakota lawman Roy Tillman, who first served as sheriff of his county when he was only 25 years old, and it's led him to believe he can do whatever he wants, legal or not. Aided by his cadre of corrupt cops, Tillman shows that he's not afraid to play really dirty, especially when it comes to his frustrations with Minnesota housewife Dot (Juno Temple).

Sheriff Roy Tillman believes he's above the law in the fifth season of the Fargo TV show on FX. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Fargo is cancelled or renewed for season six. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households.

A third film in the Marvel Comics-inspired Venom franchise started filming back in June, then had to shut down production when the Screen Actors Guild strike began in July. Earlier this month, that strike came to an end – and writer/director Kelly Marcel and star Tom Hardy quickly got back to work on Venom 3. When filming resumed, Hardy celebrated by sharing an image on Instagram. Just over a week later, he has shared another image from the set, along with a statement… and in this statement, he indicates that he might be leaving the Venom franchise as a trilogy, as he refers to the new film as “the last dance”.
Hardy said, “V3N0M 3. The Last dance. Thankfully we are back to shooting, and I want to take a moment just to thank all the teams thus far on the ride from V1 to here. Aall our fantastic...

Emmy-nominated actress Juno Temple was born in the Hammersmith area of London, England, but spent three years performing with a heavy Essex accent for her role as Keeley Jones on Ted Lasso. With the county of Essex not too far from London, the accent wasn’t much of a stretch for Temple, but that wasn’t the case for her latest role in the recently released fifth season of Fargo. Temple plays Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a character with a distinct Minnesota accent, on the hit FX series, which she was working on at the same time as Ted Lasso. Speaking to Business Insider about juggling two separate accents at the same time, Temple said it initially caused some confusion as she tried to get a grip on the different voices. “I remember when I first started doing dialect sessions, I was still doing Season 3 of Ted Lasso, so I was...

After a three year run playing Keeley Jones on “Ted Lasso” that earned her three Primetime Emmy nominations, Juno Temple’s role in the critically acclaimed Season 5 of “Fargo” should keep her in the prestige TV limelight for another awards season. Both shows saw the British actress stretch her acting chops to perform in an unfamiliar dialect — and working on both shows at the same time came with its own slate of unexpected challenges.
In a new interview with Business Insider, Temple recalled doing the work of developing her Minnesota accent to play Dorothy “Dot” Lyon on “Fargo” while simultaneously filming “Ted Lasso” with her character’s distinct Essex accent. While she eventually learned to keep the voices separate, the actress admits to having some initial confusion.

Plot: The latest installment of Fargo is set in Minnesota and North Dakota, 2019. After an unexpected series of events lands Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon in hot water with the authorities, this seemingly typical Midwestern housewife is suddenly plunged back into a life she thought she had left behind.
Review: Before the first season of Fargo premiered in 2014, I thought it was a bad idea. It should have been a clue that Noah Hawley’s series would be a masterpiece since it came with The Coen Brothers’ approval. A decade later, the fifth entry in the anthology series is arriving, set in the pre-pandemic year of 2019. Following the series alternating historical and contemporary timelines, the new season trades period settings of the 1970s and 1920s for a familiar-looking world anchored in the political divide of liberals and conservatives that raged those four long years ago. But, rather than being a story about politics,...

Almost three years to the day that “Fargo” wrapped its fourth installment, which starred Chris Rock and featured an acclaimed performance by future Oscar-nominee Jessie Buckley, its highly-anticipated fifth has finally arrived. Noah Hawley’s FX anthology series debuted almost a decade ago in 2014 and has been alternating between contemporary and period-set seasons. Since the last set of episodes took place in the 1950s and explored the war between Kansas City crime syndicates, the new season is set in 2019 and centers on Juno Temple’s character, whose happy home life conceals a dangerous past.
After its fourth installment failed to live up to the high expectations that the Emmy Award-winning series had previously set, this new season finds the show back as strong as ever. As of this writing, it has an 80 score on Metacritic, indicating “generally favorable” reviews. Even better, it has a perfect 100% freshness score on Rotten Tomatoes,...

The term “milking” is used to describe the exploitation of a certain thing to a shameless level. I prefer not to use the word when I’m writing an article about something, but Apple TV’s Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas has compelled me to do so. I am not a huge fan of Ted Lasso. For my personal taste, the megahit Apple TV show mostly comes off as saccharine-sweet. But the impact it has created on pop culture is undeniable. Naturally, from Apple TV’s perspective, milking something as celebrated as Ted Lasso makes sense in terms of business. But why not make a proper Christmas special instead of the staged extravaganza that Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas is? I mean, when you have the entire cast of Ted Lasso at your service, then why not make them play the parts they’re known for?
Instead of that,...

Fargo’s Dot Lyon just wants to make pancakes for her daughter, but instead, she gets caught up in a whirlwind of guns-blazing action in Tuesday’s Season 5 premiere — and she more than holds her own.
When we meet Dot (played by Ted Lasso’s Juno Temple), she’s shielding her daughter Scotty from a school board meeting that turned into an all-out brawl. On her way out, she’s grabbed from behind and turns around to hit the guy with a stun gun — and it turns out he’s a cop. Dot is put in handcuffs and hauled away in a police cruiser,...
