With temperatures on the rise and no end of summer in sight, we become increasingly thankful for the time we spend inside our air-conditioned homes, comforted by the silence which we have grown used to during quarantine, and entertained by our one and only true friend: Netflix. And so, on that note, here's what's new on the platform today, June 24th.
One of the most iconic actors of modern American cinema, Johnny Depp boasts a career that spans multiple decades and includes tons and tons of films. With such a large repertoire, it's understandable that some movies just get lost beneath the pile. Luckily, then, we have companies like Netflix that work to excavate them, and here are two criminally underrated and oft-forgotten Depp movies coming to the streamer's library next week (July 1st).
Adult film star Ron Jeremy has been charged with sexually assaulting four different women between 2014 and 2019. All four incidents, charges of which were made on Tuesday, are believed to have taken place near West Hollywood.
Michael Keaton, an American actor best known for his portrayal of Batman in the Tim Burton movies from the late 80s and early 90s, is allegedly talking to Warner Bros. about reprising his role as the Caped Crusader in future movies, including one based on the popular Batman Beyond storyline.
The hashtag #GetSplitOffNetflix has been trending on Twitter. Part of a larger social media campaign, its goal is to get the streaming giant to remove the M. Night Shyamalan thriller Split from its library because it misrepresents Dissociative Identity Disorder and thus offends people who suffer from the condition.
Last year, Square Enix revealed that it was working on an action-adventure game called Marvel's Avengers. As its title suggests, it'll allow players to step into the shoes of America's most famous superheroes.
Video game developer EA intends to 'double down' on Star Wars-based titles moving forward, or so the company's executives announced in a recently-released 'fireside chat.'
Last week, several actors starring in The CW show Riverdale were accused of sexual assault via Twitter. These include Cole Sprouse, Vanessa Morgan, Lili Reinhart and KJ Apa, and several of them have since issued statements denying the allegations and are now considering legal actions against those who made the accusations.
Come July 1st, Netflix will be adding the 2016 crime drama Patriots Day to its online library. The film, which stars Mark Wahlberg as a Boston cop, is worth checking out not only because it tells a gripping story based on real-life investigations of the Boston Marathon Bomber, but also because it features one of the best performances the actor has ever delivered.
One of the producers behind Extraction has been apprehended by Santa Barbara police after he was charged on 11 counts of sex crimes, including kidnapping.
