007

Next James Bond: Jack Lowden’s 007 Chances Explained as the Slow Horses actor emerges as an increasingly fascinating candidate to take over one of cinema’s most iconic roles. At 36, Lowden falls right into the range for an actor expected to lead a new era of James Bond movies.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has become one of the most talked-about movies of the year—but not because anyone has actually seen it yet.
