1923 teaser: First look at Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford in Yellowstone prequel

During the Yellowstone season 5 premiere, Paramount+ revealed the first teaser trailer for 1923. Acting as a prequel and origin story to Yellowstone, the new series stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford and follows a new generation of the Dutton family.

Mirren and Ford star as Cara and Jacob Dutton as they navigate prohibition and hardship during the 1920s. The footage teases guns, violence, and outlaws in a time of expansion. According to the official synopsis, the Dutton family will “struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness and prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle theft — all battled beneath the cloud of Montana’s great depression, which preceded the nation by almost a decade.”

Henry Cavill’s James Bond audition leaks online. Should Superman have played 007?
Henry Cavill as Napoleon SOlo aiming a gun at someone off-camera in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Henry Cavill nearly wore a tuxedo instead of a cape.
In 2005, Cavill auditioned for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale. According to director Martin Campbell, Cavill and Daniel Craig were the finalists to replace Pierce Brosnan as 007. For years, fans have wondered what Cavill's interpretation of Bond would have been like. Thanks to a leaked video, these fans now get their wish.
Cavill's Bond audition has leaked online. Posted to Ron South's YouTube channel, Cavill is seen reading lines from a scene in 1995's GoldenEye. Cavill is only 22 in the video, while sporting long black hair. According to the video's description, the video came from a "VHS tape found in a recycling bin at a movie studio."

As the story goes, Craig won the role and played the iconic spy in five movies. Producers opted to go with an older version of Bond — Craig was 37 in 2005 — instead of an early-20s spy. Despite losing the role, Cavill won over Campbell, who praised Cavill's "tremendous" audition.

Tom Cruise risks his life in the latest stunt for Mission: Impossible 8. In other news, the sky is blue, and the grass is green.

As Hollywood's biggest movie star, Cruise has made his bones by executing several of the most jaw-dropping stunts in cinema's illustrious history. In the last decade, Cruise has performed a halo jump in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, piloted multiple aircraft in Top Gun: Maverick, and rode a motorcycle off a cliff in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.
For his next trick, Cruise will hang upside down from a biplane in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. In footage shared on Cruise's social media, the 62-year-old is hanging off a biplane as director Christopher McQuarrie watches the footage from a monitor. The stunt will likely be featured in Mission: Impossible 8's next trailer, with a rumored release during Super Bowl LIX.
