Un avion s'écrase dans le Pacifique. Les survivants émergent. Puis l'eau commence à bouger.Avec Deep Water, Renny Harlin replonge dans le territoire le plus simple, le plus honnête et le plus jouissif du cinéma de genre : celui du film de requins, du survival thriller et de la série B qui ne prétend pas réinventer le cinéma, mais juste vous coincer avec des survivants, des mâchoires et la promesse d'un très bon carnage aquatique.
This week on Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, we are diving deep into storytelling, humanity, survival and Madonna continuing to remind everyone she's Madonna.First, I talk with Oscar-nominated actor David Oyelowo about his powerful new film Newborn, the emotional reality of isolation and solitary confinement, why Selma somehow became even more relevant with time and why he intentionally chooses roles that scare him creatively. We also talk streaming, global storytelling and the responsibility art has to reflect the world around us.Then Aaron Eckhart joins me to discuss his intense new film Deep Water, why every great movie is really about relationships, the psychology of human behavior and what makes acting feel truly real. Honestly, this conversation got way more philosophical than I expected - in the best possible way.PLUS:The lineup for the 2026 National Memorial Day Concert, Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella, “Bring Your Love” dominating globally, Confessions 2 officially launching us into another Madonna era, and why trying to keep up with her at this point should qualify as cardio.If you dig the show, subscribe, rate, and share - and tell your friend who's always stealing your streaming passwords.
Gene Simmons and Renny Harlin join Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about Deep Water, the intense new survival thriller from the director of Cliffhanger and Die Hard 2. In this conversation, Simmons opens up about getting his feet wet as a producer on the shark-infested thriller, why the project stood out to him, and why he believes movies like this belong on the biggest screen possible.Harlin also breaks down the challenge of turning a plane crash in the middle of the Pacific into a nonstop, nail-biting theatrical ride. He talks about balancing spectacle, fear, character drama, and emotional truth as the survivors quickly discover the sharks are only one of many dangers waiting for them in the water.Deep Water stars Aaron Eckhart, Sir Ben Kingsley, Molly Belle Wright, Angus Sampson, Kelly Gale, and Li Wenhan. Directed by Renny Harlin and produced by Gene Simmons, the film follows survivors of a flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai as they fight to stay alive after crashing in the Pacific.Deep Water is now in theaters.Visit Nerdtropolis.comFacebook.com/nerdtropolisInstagram.com/nerdtropolisTwitter.com/nerdtropolisTikTok.com/@nerdtropolis
I'm very excited about this week's BEHIND THE LENS because I get to talk about RENNY HARLIN and his new film DEEP WATER! After 33 years of chatting with Renny and talking about his films, he truly is not only one of my favorite filmmakers, but one of my favorite people. His intelligence, his skill, his dedication to the craft of moviemaking and storytelling, his directorial vision, and his kindness. I adore him. Chatting with Renny is always a joy, and no matter how long we talk, it's never long enough. And that's what happened last week when we sat down for an exclusive interview to discuss DEEP WATER. Renny wanted an hour. Publicists said no and offered 4 minutes. I begged and got 15 minutes. BUT, undeterred, when the formal interview (which ran 20 minutes) ended, Renny and I spent another 30 minutes together on our own, talking about the film, filmmaking, and other things. For those who aren't familiar with the film as yet, DEEP WATER is the story of an airline flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai that goes down in the middle of the Pacific. After surviving the crash, the survivors soon discover they're not alone, and they must survive the shark-infested waters. Simple right? Not the way Renny Harlin tells it. DEEP WATER is directed by Renny Harlin, written by Pete Bridges and John Kim, and stars, among others, Aaron Eckhart, Sir Ben Kingsley, Molly Belle Wright, Angus Sampson, Kelly Gale, Elijah Tamati, and Kate Fitzpatrick. Cinematographer is D.J. Stipsen, with editing by Geoff Lamb, with Fernando Velázquez providing the score. I also give you some pearls and fun takeaways from this weekend's TCM Classic Film Festival. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
Three takes on lava-driven disaster, each reflecting its moment in Hollywood. In 1997, Dante's Peak (directed by Roger Donaldson, starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton) leaned on scientific realism and modest character drama, earning solid box office returns and a reputation as the more grounded of the twin volcano films. That same year, Volcano (Mick Jackson, with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche) went bigger and more chaotic, dropping lava into Los Angeles for a spectacle-first hit that performed well commercially and remains a cable staple. By 2003, The Core (Jon Amiel, starring Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, and Stanley Tucci) pushed the concept to its extreme—less lava, more planetary meltdown—failing at the box office but gaining cult status for its ambition. Together, they chart lava's evolution from scientific threat to cinematic excess.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Jay and Mark briefly discuss (with no spoilers) the 2026 survival film Deep Water. Directed by Renny Harlin, and starring Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, and a shark gang, the movie focuses on what happens when a plane crashes near a gang of hungry sharks. In this episode, they also talk about plane crash movies, pretty people, and Renny rankings. Enjoy!
George Orwell's classic totalitarian critique "Animal Farm" gets a dumbed-down animated big screen incarnation. Yes, the pigs take over the farm, but the metaphors don't fly. The all-star voice cast includes Seth Rogan, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin and Woody Harrelson but their efforts are for naught. Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller and director Andy Serkis deserve some credit for trying a new approach, but this so-called modernized version of “Animal Farm” isn't for adults who revere Orwell or for kids who couldn't care less. Here's one that won't be shown on airlines anytime soon. "Jaws" meets "Airport" in "Deep Water," the story of a loaded passenger flight that crashes into -you guessed it- shark infested waters. Aaron Eckhart and Sir Ben Kingsley are the captains who accidentally serve up a smorgasbord for hungry carnivores along with the typical disaster movie cliches. If the premise sounds familiar, another movie called “No Way Up” came out two years ago with a nearly identical plot. While it's overly familiar, director Renny Harlin's opus “Deep Water” is impressively filmed. It ain't deep, but disaster movie fans won't mind. Producer John Lasseter may no longer be at Pixar, but his creative fingerprints are all over the wildly imaginative Netflix animated fantasy, "Swapped." Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple provide the voices of a mammal and a bird who magically swap bodies in a fantastical woodland area. Their experiences change their perspectives, proving that differences are good and that working together makes life better for everyone. It's smart and beautifully animated. "Swapped" is a family film in the best sense, providing thoughtful entertainment that can be enjoyed by all age groups.
Deep Water presenta como unos pasajeros abordo de un avión de Los Angeles a Shangai hace un aterrizaje forzoso en mar abierto con tiburones hambrientos. Estrena 1 de mayo en cines. Protagonizado por Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley y Angus Sampson.
Gene Simmons (KISS, Deep Water) joins us this week for a wide ranging and surprisingly tender conversation about the mother who shaped him, the bandmate he wishes he had saved, and the work ethic that still has him producing films at 77. Gene opens up about his Hungarian mother surviving the concentration camps, the moment he tasted jam for the first time in America, and why he believes the race only speeds up as you near the finish line. We also get into the painful truth about Ace Frehley, the intervention that should have happened decades ago, his new film Deep Water with Ben Kingsley and Aaron Eckhart, and the night in Belize at 62 when he dropped to his knees and finally came clean to Shannon.

“If you argue correctly, you're never wrong.” Join Ian, & Liam for our 320th episode as we light up the slick, fast-talking, morally elastic world of Jason Reitman's Thank You For Smoking (2005). It's spin, satire, and strategic deflection this week as we ask whether winning an argument is the same thing as being right. This week we discuss: Aaron Eckhart's Nick Naylor — charming, composed, and ethically slippery. Is this one of the great “bad good guy” performances of the 2000s? The art of spin — how the film weaponises rhetoric, reframing, and misdirection to hilarious — and unsettling — effect. Satire with teeth — does the film actually challenge corporate lobbying culture, or does it admire its own cleverness too much? We break down the film's tonal balance — sharp comedy undercut by quiet moments of moral reckoning. Liam explores the father-son dynamic — does the film ultimately soften Nick, or does it merely reposition him? Ian questions the target — is Big Tobacco the point, or is the film more interested in the machinery of persuasion itself? The MOD Squad scenes — Big Tobacco, Big Alcohol, Big Firearms. Broad caricature or disturbingly accurate power structures? Katie Holmes' subplot — narrative necessity, tonal misfire, or commentary on transactional journalism? The ending — redemption arc, compromise, or simply another pivot in a long career of strategic positioning? We debate whether satire ages well — does this feel timeless, or does it belong firmly to its Bush-era moment? And finally, whether Thank You For Smoking is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the smartest, slickest comedies of its decade.

This season I'm blowing the idea that ‘characters need arcs' out of the water. Erin Brockovich is a constant character and she's an underdog. With the odds against her, she does not change instead, she bends the world to suit herself. This is no mean feat, because the villain is powerful and wealthy. In underdog movies the speech in praise of the villain is essential. It's through this speech that we understand how powerful and how unlikely it is for our protagonist to come out on top. Join us as we unpack how a constant character and speeches in praise of the villain work together to deliver a deeply satisfying story. - M.

BEFORE WE BEGIN – the best way to enjoy today's stupidity is in the form of video, which as a special thank you to all of you for another great year, I have edited together and made FREE at patreon.com/funeralkazoo. No strings attached. Just a gift to you all, with hopes for happy holidays and a fantastic new year. –––––You ever watch a big, blockbuster sci-fi action adventure movie that turns out to be so bereft of technical and scientific merit or accuracy that you almost start to like it? Me neither! On today's very special Christmas Disaster Moviesode: we'll start by joining the shortest, worst, and probably my personal favourite business presentation of all time; we'll learn how the US government tried to spite it's enemies by giving the planet the Alderaan treatment, twice; and we'll meet the man tasked with fixing all this, and saving Earth, and everything on it, but who doesn't even know how to put on a coat.Welcome to the return of the disaster moviesode! We haven't done this in a while, but our last episode on Michael Bay's 1998 shlocktacular Armageddon was so popular, there was no way we weren't coming back to this. I promise if I win the lotto over the holidays, I'll make moviesodes a regular thing thing.Today's story, currently sits at 34% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a film that critics called “a modestly fun exercise in disappointment”, and “as aggressively loud and obnoxious as it is tiresomely stupid”. It's 2 hours and 15 minutes, which I sat through so you didn't have to… it is my distinct pleasure to bring you this very special presentation, the 2003 Aaron Eckhart disaster masterpiece, The Core, made free to one-and-all here on Patreon as a thank you for another great year. Grab your popcorn and your safety glasses and kick your kids out of the room because otherwise this is going to make them stupider, and let's begin.–––––THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn't exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it's been my privilege to bring you these stories.

It's that most wonderful time of the year, and "Failure to Franchise Presents Trev and Chris-tmas" kicks off with a timely look at a sci-fi action take on one of the most important, iconic, and revered properties of all time. And to be sure, 2014's I, Frankenstein pays homage to Mary Shelley's beloved creation by including all the most cherished elements of her classic novel...the heroic gargoyles who are actually angels; the evil human businessman who is secretly an ancient demon; the Filipino Kali stick fighting! Well, okay...maybe this movie took some liberties with the source material. But, amongst all these strange and surprising additions to the Frankenstein mythology we all know and love, we're here to dive into the real important question at the heart of this movie - what the heck is the deal with Aaron Eckhart's career??

Welcome back to The Movie Draft House! We've almost unwrapped the entire gift of this year, as we wind down December 2025 with our year-long theme of "one degree of separation" where each film we review has to have some connection to the previous weeks' film. This week we reviewed the Christopher Nolan classic "The Dark Knight" starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and more. Tune in to find out what we thought of this one!Here's how we got here:- Last week we watched the film "Weird Science" starring Anthony Michael Hall- Anthony Michael Hall was also in "The Dark Knight"...Follow the podcast across all social media!Twitter Instagram TikTokYouTube
The average lake around the world is about the size of a large parking lot – the kind of thing you might try to skip a stone across. The current World Record for stone skipping is 88 skips. If you were to skip a stone across the lake we're visiting today, it would have to beat that number by about 406, 912 and it would be bouncing across the water for about three hours.On today's episode: You'll learn about the most boat-hungry lakes anywhere in the world; you'll see why you would rather be beaten half-to-death in the face with a bat than visit the site of today story; and you'll find out how a cherished keepsake from our tale was recovered by a nightmarish bright orange, alien-shaped robot monster made out of airplane-grade aluminum.And because you are listening on Patreon… you will figure out if flat-earthers are just the dumbest people in the world or the dumbest people in history; you will get to walk through the deadliest things to ever happen on the Greatest Lake system in the world; and you will hear a sode inside a sode about a storm from 1913 so powerful than when they needed a name they settled on “Great”.We can only barely understand how frightening today's story must have been for the men who were lost and the families they left behind. I feel a real responsibility to tell their stories with accuracy and respect knowing there are real people out there connected to the story and still wounded by it. That said, outside of calling the ship the Eddy Fitz one time, and then the way I give description to the indescribable physical hell you'd experience if you grabbed a snorkel and tried to visit the site of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I think maintained a definite air of respect during this episode. You'd be honestly surprised at how many people were so deeply touched and effected by the event. Sorry for sounding so gloomy at the end, but sometimes I get bummed out. Not as bummed as the families of those lost on Gitchi Goomie mind you. With all that said, there are only two more episodes in the year, but they are really something. We'll be having our least nauseating visit to Victorian England in search of outdoor entertainment. And the last episode is our return to the Disaster Moviesode format by popular demand. The last time we did one, it was the 1998 Michael Bay schlocktacular “Armageddon” – a movie so bereft of sense or scientific consideration, they used it at NASA as a test to see how many things you could find wrong with it. Well, this time, we have a film so preposterous, it makes Armageddon look misunderstood. And it contains within it's 2 hours and 15 minute running time almost every type of disaster, except ironically, asteroids. It's the 2003 Aaron Eckhart movie, “The Core”, and I know you're going to like it. I saw it in the theatre, and I certainly didn't.If you like what you hear today, why not consider becoming a supporter of the show at Patreon.com/FuneralKazoo AD-FREE EPISODES, LONGER EPISODES, EXTRA CONTENT, all that good stuff (I'm truly sorry about those ads, I don't get to control them or their placement).

Caring crusaders are almost their own movie genre and one of the most successful films about such is Erin Brockovich. Steven Soderbergh had a huge year in 2000 with Traffic and also this biopic, turning both into blockbuster Oscar-winners. He won the award for directing Traffic while Julia Roberts won her own gold trophy for playing the brash, real-life, legal assistant who works day and night to expose an environmental cover-up that killed children in a small California town. Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart and Marg Helgenberger shine too, but this movie belong to Julia…and it might be her signature performance. So, Stick Man, be like Erin and be an empath in provocative clothes as we file a class action lawsuit against those who poison water, but as we also review Erin Brockovich in this 673rd edition of Have You Ever Seen.

Hey, do you remember that they made a movie starring Aaron Eckhart where he plays Frankenstein's Monster in the present day? And do you remember that he's stuck in the middle of a war between the armies of Heaven & Hell? But most importantly, do you remember that the army of Heaven is comprised of Gargoyles? Don't worry, the Monstie Men did remember that last one, either. You can find the Monstie Men on Instagram. Make sure to subscribe to their newsletter, the Monstie Manual on SubStack.

Paul picked "The Core" for this installment of the Sci-Fi Shuffle because he expected it would be the perfect film. And it certainly is a film! I mean, it's got everything: cool teachers, mean scientists, evil super weapons and DJ Qualls! We also talk about birds and whales.
Soderbergh finally hit a box-office home run in 2000 with ERIN BROCKOVICH, a Julia Roberts-starring biopic about a paralegal with a big personality and a nose for corporate environmental malfeasance, and the one-two punch of BROCKOVICH and TRAFFIC in a single year cemented him as a truly major filmmaker. This is one of the big ones, so we brought in our friend Carlee from Hit Factory to talk about basically everything: capitalism, the climate, gender, fashion, interpassivity, Todd Haynes, and Sheryl Crow.

Jason Teasley and Mark Radulich review movies currently on streaming services: Wildcats/Draft Day/Any Given Sunday Movie Review! First up is Wildcats (1986). Then we move on to Draft Day (2014). Finally we review Any Given Sunday (1999).Wildcats is a 1986 American sports comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie and starring Goldie Hawn, James Keach and Swoosie Kurtz. It is the film debut of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.Draft Day is a 2014 American sports drama film directed by Ivan Reitman, and starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner. The premise revolves around the fictional general manager of the Cleveland Browns (Costner) deciding what to do after his team acquires the number one draft pick in the upcoming National Football League Draft.The film premiered in Los Angeles on April 7, 2014 and was released in the United States on April 11, 2014. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office failure grossing only $29 million against its $25 million budget. The film was Reitman's final directorial effort and Jim Brown's final acting role before their deaths in 2022 and 2023 respectively.Any Given Sunday is a 1999 American sports drama film directed by Oliver Stone depicting a fictional professional American football team. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx, James Woods, LL Cool J, Ann-Margret, Lauren Holly, Matthew Modine, John C. McGinley, Charlton Heston, Bill Bellamy, Lela Rochon, Aaron Eckhart, Elizabeth Berkley, and NFL players Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor.It is partly based on the 1984 novel On Any Given Sunday by NFL defensive end Pat Toomay; the title is derived from a line in the book (also used in the film), that a team can win or lose on "any given Sunday", said by the fictitious coach Tony D'Amato. The quote was originally derived from a statement made in 1952 by then-NFL commissioner Bert Bell, about the league's devotion to financial and competitive parity.Cameo roles also feature many former American football players, including Dick Butkus, Y. A. Tittle, Pat Toomay, Warren Moon, Johnny Unitas, Ricky Watters, Emmitt Smith and Terrell Owens, as well as coach Barry Switzer.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Episode 132 dissects the groundbreaking football film that broke all the rules with the 1999 Oliver Stone classic Any Given Sunday! Starring Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, we go full blitz on the movie that did everything it could to peel back the curtain to show what it takes charge from the locker room to the gridiron to the Super Bowl... or Pantheon Cup.Is it the best football movie of all time? Is Tony D'Amato actually a good coach? Where does his pregame speech rank in the history of speeches? What's the most 1999 thing about the movie? Was Christina Pagniacci a shrewd or savvy team owner? Did Willie Beamen change the game for QBs? And who was the movie's MVP, 6th Man, and who was the "practice squad player" that we could we have done without?We tackle it all - GAME TIME!See the Video Podcast: https://youtu.be/fV0yjQDTJN0
What happens when the acclaimed and idiosyncratic director of JFK, Natural Born Killers, and The Doors attempts to direct a conventional sports drama about his favorite sport? Multiple Oscar-winner Oliver Stone showed us back in December 1999 that the result would be clearly anything BUT conventional! And he had quite the cast for this epic tail of a few weeks in the life of the fictional Miami Sharks, a professional football team at a crossroads. They have a hot-headed new owner (Cameron Diaz) trying in to rein their beleaguered veteran coach (Al Pacino) and have also just lost their veteran quarterback (Dennis Quaid) to a severe injury so they have to replace him with a third string quarterback (Jamie Foxx) with something to prove. And what results is a wild 160 minutes of big budget football insanity jam-packed with game-related violence, debauchery, and VERY loud arguments! Also included in this stacked cast are James Woods, LL Cool J, Jim Brown, Aaron Eckhart, Matthew Modine, John C. McGinley, Lela Rochon, Lawrence Taylor, Elizabeth Berkley, AND the late great Charlton Heston. :) It's time to make a run for the Pantheon Cup....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
[Digital Gonzo 2012] NOTE: This is a reissued episode from over 12 years ago. Please forgive the lower production values and boneheaded things I say. Part two of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. Following the powerful set-up of Batman Begins, the production team pulled out all the stops to deliver an epic crime thriller in the style of Michael Mann's Heat. This is a story of a city in turmoil and a police force struggling to keep order, up against the ruthless mob. At the center are Batman and The Joker, forces of nature representing order and chaos. The only hope for Gotham may in fact be the White Knight, district attorney Harvey Dent. But you all know this, because everybody and his dog saw this movie back in 2008. I just wanted to set the scene a little. Much is discussed, especially Heath Ledger's extraordinary performance, but not forgetting the brilliant turns from Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gyllenhaal and the possible career-high score from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.

It's a fun Halloween week on BEHIND THE LENS thanks to our special guest JANE CLARK and her new film WITCHY WAYS; plus my exclusive interview with ROEL REINE discussing CLASSIFIED. Kicking off the show is my exclusive interview with director/DP/composer ROEL REINE disclosing all the secrets about making his new film, the action thriller CLASSIFIED starring Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin and Tim Roth. Written by Bob DeRosa, the script is tight, the plot has some original elements in the hitman genre, first-rate performances, superb action, and the location of Malta is glorious. Then writer/director JANE CLARK joins me talking about her magically enchanting new film WITCHY WAYS! My regular readers and listeners may remember Jane from prior appearances on #BTLRadioShow talking about the fantastically fun and funny "Crazy Bitches", the movie and the tv series! I love WITCHY WAYS and Jane and I have the best conversation here as she breaks down her filmmaking process from script to screen with WITCHY WAYS – finding a shooting location, writing for the specific location, themes, research into the "witch community" and its customs, practices, and spells, casting, production logistics and overcoming the perils of Mother Nature, working with her cinematographer, score and needledrops, some lovely witchy visual effects, and so much more. A perfect way to welcome in Halloween! http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
In this episode Larry Gilbert sat down with the multi-talented actor Oliver Trevena, a name synonymous with success in Hollywood, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. With over 20 years in the entertainment industry, Trevena has seamlessly navigated various roles from acclaimed TV host to award-winning actor, producer, and philanthropist. Trevena's journey in the spotlight began with his charismatic presence as a TV host for major shows like Young Hollywood and The Hollywood Reporter, where he interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment. He's also fronted red carpets for prestigious award shows, including The Grammys and The American Music Awards. But his career didn't stop there. Over the last few years, Trevena has transitioned from hosting to acting, and what a journey it has been. Oliver has starred in over a dozen feature films, sharing the screen with Hollywood heavyweights like Gerard Butler in Plane, Nina Dobrev and Aaron Eckhart in The Bricklayer, and Olga Kurylenko and Harvey Keitel in Paradox Effect, the latter earning him the Breakout Actor Award at the Rome Film Festival. With the recent Toronto Film Festival premiere of The Cut, where he co-stars alongside Orlando Bloom, Trevena's name continues to rise in Hollywood's elite circles. While his acting resume grows, Trevena is also making waves behind the camera. He produced and stars in Another Day in America, which recently hit the festival circuit, and he just wrapped production on Icefall, starring alongside Joel Kinnaman and Danny Huston. Trevena's upcoming projects include two television shows: Beachy Head, which he co-created with Danny Cannon and stars Dougray Scott, and London Son, both of which he is producing with Pulp Fiction producer Lawrence Bender. Beyond Hollywood, Trevena's impact is felt on a global scale through his philanthropic efforts. For over a decade, he's served as an ambassador for Not for Sale, a worldwide organization fighting human trafficking and modern-day slavery. His dedication earned him an award from the Duchess of York. His passion for humanitarian work doesn't stop there—Trevena produced a documentary in India, spotlighting the importance of female education and raising awareness about forced child marriage. Trevena is not just an entertainer; he's also a savvy entrepreneur. As the founder of Ollywood Media, he's built a thriving business centered around investments, production, and brand creation. Recognized as one of the "Top 20 Entrepreneurs to Watch," Trevena has merged his deep connections within the entertainment world with his creative vision to launch global brands like Allsaints, DOGPOUND, and Next Health. His most recent venture, Caliwater, co-founded with close friend Vanessa Hudgens, has attracted an all-star group of investors including Gerard Butler, Glen Powell, and Ryan Tedder. With a packed schedule of upcoming films, TV projects, and entrepreneurial ventures, Oliver Trevena continues to redefine what it means to be a multi-hyphenate in the modern entertainment industry. Whether he's acting, producing, or leading philanthropic initiatives, Trevena's passion for storytelling and making a difference shines through every endeavor. Tune in to the full episode to hear Oliver's inspiring story of perseverance, the lessons he's learned from his 20+ years in the entertainment business, and how he balances his Hollywood success with his business ventures.

The gang kick starts Mother Earth this week, as they review the world-ending disaster movie that was ahead of it's time, The Core (2003). A stacked cast (Aaron Eckhart, Hillary Swank, Bruce Greenwood, DJ Quals, Richard Jenkins, and DELROY LINDOOOOOOO) and a hefty runtime full of PS2 cutscene-level CGI, with a few winks at the camera make for a very fun and stupid time.

In today’s episode on Gateways to Awakening, I speak with my friend Jon Amiel, a distinguished director, writer, and producer with a remarkable career in theatre, film, and television. After spending a decade rising from fringe theatre to the Royal Shakespeare Company, Jon transitioned to television, where he made significant strides at the BBC, culminating with the award-winning "Silent Twins" and the multi-award-winning "Singing Detective." Jon's success continued in the film industry over the next 15 years, directing major feature films such as "Sommersby" with Jodie Foster and Richard Gere, "Copycat" with Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter, "Entrapment" with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, "The Man Who Knew Too Little" with Bill Murray, "The Core" with Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank, and "Creation" with Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly.

As a mentor, Jon frequently advises aspiring directors and writers to focus on authenticity in storytelling and to develop a strong personal voice. We talk about the following and so much more: ✅ What he spends most of his time thinking about and why ✅ What, in his opinion, makes a good story and why? ✅ What inspired his journey into the world of film - an in particular directing? ✅ As a mentor and advisor to many film directors and writers, what advice does he find himself giving most frequently ✅ What draws him to a particular project, and how does he approach each genre differently ✅ What the creative process was like bringing such a gripping story like Copycat to life If you’d like to join the waitlist for my next coaching program, sign up @ www.InnerKnowingSchool.com Please tag us and tell us what you loved!
