R.I.P. Fred Thompson Dies at Age 73
Yet another actor departs us this year as it’s being reported by multiple outlets that Fred Thompson has passed away at 73 from a recurrence of lymphoma.
Thompson, who was a U.S. senator for the state of Tennessee from 1994 until 2003, appeared in such films as Die Hard 2, The Hunt for Red October, and Days of Thunder, as well as maintaining a longstanding role as “D.A. Arthur Branch” in several editions of “Law & Order”. His towering stature – he was 6’6″ – helped an imposing and authoritative persona to his various roles.
But to horror fans he was known for his appearance as the sheriff in 2012’s Sinister and “Tom Broadbent” in the 1991 remake of Cape Fear.
In a statement to the Nashville Tennessean, his family wrote, “It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of grief that we share the passing of our brother, husband, father, and grandfather who died peacefully in Nashville surrounded by his family.”
We send our condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Senator Thompson.
The new trailer for epic survival thriller The Dog Stars warns to fear the survivors of the apocalypse.
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Josh Brolin (Weapons), and Margaret Qualley (The Substance) try to maintain their humanity in the intense new trailer for Ridley Scott‘s survival thriller, releasing in theaters on August 28, 2026.
The film is “set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice.
“Ridley Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world until a mysterious radio transmission spurs Hig to venture into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exists.”
Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Allison Janney also star.
The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling novel and written by Mark L. Smith (Overlord, The Revenant) and produced by Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Mark L. Smith, and Cliff Roberts.
Check out the new trailer and poster below, which emphasize the thrills in the upcoming survival thriller. But it’s one that’s also filled with hope.
“I think people will be surprised and engaged, actually. I would say, hmm… charmed as well,” Scott says of the film. “Although, there is some violence.”
