Norman Reedus Recovering After Suffering Concussion on Walking Dead Set

The star also thanked his fans for their condolences over the recent death of his beloved cat Eye in the Dark. His son Mingus Reedus had announced the passing of the family’s pet on his Instagram Story earlier this month.

“Most of all thank you for the eye in the dark messages,” the Walking Dead actor wrote. “I really loved that little cat.”

Norman Reedus is on the mend.

E! News can confirm Reedus was injured while on the Walking Dead set. “Norman suffered a concussion on set,” an AMC spokesperson said in a statement. “He is recovering well and will return to work soon. Thank you to everyone for their concern.”

Killer Secrets About The Walking Dead

The star was due to take part in the Fandemic Tour but postponed his appearance to get some much-needed rest. “We are sending all of our thoughts and positive energy to Norman Reedus,” the organizers announced on Instagram March 16. “Everyone in our amazing community knows how much he loves his fans, and he wants you to know how terrible he feels about the situation. However, we all want him to do what is best for his health. Let’s send him all of our well-wishes and hope for a speedy recovery.”

Reedus is set to star opposite Melissa McBride in the upcoming Walking Dead spinoff tentatively titled Daryl & Carol, which is reportedly set to premiere later this year.

Though not much has been revealed about the new show, Reedus previously told IMDb it will be “completely different” from the Walking Dead and other episodes that centered on Daryl and Carol.

And in a previous media release, Reedus shared that he couldn’t wait to see what the future holds. “Daryl’s relationship with Carol has always been my favorite relationship on the show (sorry Rick),” he shared. “I love the way these characters interact and relate to each other on so many levels and can’t wait to see where their ride goes from here.”

The spinoff also indicated that Daryl and Carol were safe from the zombies and other foes, but the fate of other stars wasn’t so clear. “I think they should always be worried about their favorites,” McBride said with a laugh to E! News in August. “Even I’m worried about them.”

However, fans now know that Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan‘s Maggie and Negan are going to make it out of the 11th and final season alive. They will go on to star in their own show, currently titled Isle of the Dead.

Morgan, who plays Negan, teased the series in a statement, saying, “I’m beyond excited to continue his journey in New York City with Lauren. Walkers in an urban setting has always been such a cool image, but 5th Avenue, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty? The greatest city in the world? The backdrop is amazing, but it’s the story that Eli Jorné cooked up that is even better. Buckle up folks, Isle of the Dead is going to reinvent the TWD Universe.”

Inside The Lost Daughter’s Pivotal Confession Scene

What is Leda (Olivia Colman) hiding in The Lost Daughter? What is it about her past dela that is haunting her as she vacations in Greece? In this pivotal confession from Leda to Nina (Dakota Johnson), the young mother who’s become Leda’s obsession, the central piece of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s cinematic puzzle clicks into place.

Based on Elena Ferrante’s novel, The Lost Daughter (Netflix) honors the thematic core of its source material while charting its own path in crucial ways. Gyllenhaal, making her feature writing and directing debut, rigorously twists this story of maternal ambivalence into her own creation. This scene’s reveal—that Leda abandoned her young children for years, initially to pursue an affair—arrives much earlier in the book, more as dramatic setup. Gyllenhaal realized that to preserve the tension of her film, she needed to hold it as long as possible. “It really threw my entire script into shambles,” she says of the shift. “But out of that cracking it up came the space where I started to come through.”

Filmed in intimate, moving close-ups with the actors, the sequence is at once agonizing and heartbreaking. Gyllenhaal, Oscar-nominated for her script, walked us through executing it on the fly—both on the page and for the screen.

CROWD OUT

Filming in a crowded flea market offered Gyllenhaal and DP Hélène Louvart an authentic way of staging a suddenly, intensely intimate conversation. Says Louvart, “[You’re] walking, stopping, walking, stopping—it was a way to trap her.”

HAT TRICK

A prop mishap involving the pin that Leda fastens on Nina’s hat required adjusting the scene as originally envisioned due to budget constraints. “We had no time, and we lost a whole lot in the morning,” Gyllenhaal says. “This scene did not really come to life until we shifted it and cut it quite a lot in the editing room.”

MEMORY GAME

An earlier scene in the film, when Leda becomes dizzy in a toy store, is tellingly referenced here by Gyllenhaal: “In the book, this reveal happens in the toy store. I loved that you know that she’s left her kids from her, and then you have to live with her for more than half of the book. That’s originally how I structured the script.”

Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal breaks down the moment in which Olivia Colman’s Leda finally reveals a long-held truth—and the screenplay diverges significantly from the Elena Ferrante novel it’s based on.

‘Power’ Star Omari Hardwick & ‘Snowfall’ Star Damson Idris Link Up For A Photo

While Power stans and Snowfall stans argue online, the respective lead actors of each series recently displayed a sign of solidarity. Omari Hardwick (Power‘s James “Ghost” St. Patrick) posted an Instagram photo with Damson Idris (Snowfall‘s Franklin Saint).

Both James “Ghost” St. Patrick and Franklin Saint are drug dealers. Ghost’s story is set in present-day New York City. The Franklin character drew inspiration from Los Angeles native “Freeway” Rick Ross, the infamous crack-cocaine kingpin who established a nationwide narcotics empire in the 1980s.

“Both played a Saint for make-believe. Both made to make those who been told they can’t… believe they too can achieve,” wrote Omari Hardwick about himself and Damson Idris in the Instagram caption. He added #DandO and #FranklinSaintSaintPatrick to the IG post.

The original Power ran for six seasons from 2014 to 2020. Courtney A. Kemp and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s highly-rated show spawned the Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force spin-offs.

Snowfall began airing on July 5, 2017. It quickly earned critical praise. The John Singleton-created television series premiered its fifth season on February 23, 2022, with the “Comets” and “Commitment” episodes.

Damson Idris is best known for his portrayal of Franklin Saint in Snowfall, but the British actor also starred in Netflix’s Outside the Wire sci-fi action film.

Netflix Is Looking for Actors to Play Teen Prince William and Harry on The Crown Season 6

Hear ye, hear ye! The Crown is searching for two teens to claim their spot as the rightful heirs to the British throne.
As the Netflix series plans out its sixth season.

As the Netflix series plans out its sixth season, casting director Robert Sterne issued a call for Prince William and Prince Harry lookalikes. Per the notice, they’re looking for “two exceptional young actors” to play the royals, noting that they will have “significant roles” in the upcoming season.

And while the series has seen award-winning actors play Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, the casting call noted, “No previous professional acting experience required.”

“We are very experienced in providing a great deal of support for the young actors and their families through what they find is a uniquely rewarding creative process,” the notice read.

In other words, send in your headshots ASAP if you think that you’ve got Prince Harry’s red locks or Prince William’s smolder. According to the casting call, Netflix wants to fill the roles within the next two months.

Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana in The Crown

Season five of the hit drama is still being filmed and is scheduled for a November release. These new episodes will chronicle the royal family’s life in the early ’90s, including Princess Diana’s divorce from Prince Charles.

In the coming season, Dominic West‘s son, Senan West, is playing a young Prince William. This was a rather fitting role for the young Brit, as Dominic is playing Charles.

Variety noted that Senan will have to bow from the role after season five, as six will likely cover William adapting to attending University of St Andrew’s in Scotland. Royal watchers are hoping the series will explore the future king’s romance with Kate Middleton, who he met at the school.

And while the royal family has been at the center of many fascinating and sometimes scandalous stories recently, Netflix has stated that the show will end with season six—at least, for the time being. But series creator Peter Morgan has been known to change his mind. He originally planned for five seasons of The Crown, only to add another one in 2020. At the time, he stated, “As we started to discuss the storylines for series five, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons.” So maybe lucky number 7 is in the cards.
