ITV is bringing a blast from the past back to screens on Sunday night, as detective drama Van Der Valk gets itself a reboot. The Amsterdam set drama sees Marc Warren (Hustle, The Good Wife) take on the role of titular crimefighter Simon ‘Piet’ Van Der Valk, in a three-part series which kicks off with him investigating the murder of two political activists in the Dutch capital. And although the revamped version might be very different from the original – which first graced screens back in the 70s – it should still provide a dose of nostalgia from those who remember it.

The series is based … [Read more...] about When was the original series of Van Der Valk and when is the remake on TV?

LOVE Island's Ekin-Su made her reality TV debut long before she appeared on the ITV2 dating show.

Mike Tyson has put Hulu on blast for allegedly producing the upcoming series about his life without his consent. Starring Moonlight actor Trevante Rhodes as the former heavy-eight champion, fans were recently treated to a tense flavour of what’s to come in the eight-parter , which promises to give an ‘unauthorised and no-holds-barred look’ at the life of one of the most controversial sporting figures in history.

Mike also examines class and race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide and the promise of the American Dream. However, the former pro made his feelings known about the biopic on Instagram. ‘Don’t let Hulu fool you,’ he wrote. ‘I don’t support their story about my life. It’s not 1822. It’s 2022.

Oscar-nominated Hollywood director Michael Mann has been in Italy long enough to develop a morning routine – a cappuccino grande – and find a favorite café in Modena, where he is shooting his latest film, "Ferrari." This city is the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari and his company, and is famed for fast cars and good food. "Cities fascinate me – they have their own character," Mann said. Correspondent Seth Doane asked, "What do you get out of a city like this one, Modena?" "What I get is a real challenge to understand what life is like if you're living here," he replied. "To me the challenge is to get so deep into this specific regional culture, because the deeper I do that, the more universal it becomes." The detail-obsessed director has made a career of prompting audiences to feel for the characters in his films, whether it's the last remaining member of the Mohican tribe, or the plight of a tobacco industry whistleblower in "The Insider." There was the collective stress we felt … [Read more...] about Michael Mann on the prequel/sequel novel “Heat 2,” and going deep on the life of cities

IN June 1991, a volcano which had been dormant for over 300 years violently erupted, wrecking havoc on everything that stood in its path. The deadly explosion of Japan's Mount Unzen claimed the lives of 43 people, including volcanologists Maurice and Katia Krafft, who had dedicated their entire lives to studying the dangerous ruptures. Jaw-dropping images of the blast show the a huge ball of toxic gas it spewed into the atmosphere.
