Jon Bernthal Takes a Vow of Silence for Pilgrimage

If there’s any actor that might be considered an “actor’s actor” who has gone to great lengths for his craft, then Jon Bernthal has worked his butt off to get where he is now.

It’s been five years since Bernthal was a regular on AMC’s The Walking Dead, but he then got an even more high-profile gig as The Punisher in the second season of Netflix’s Daredevil. Bernthal’s version of Marvel’s Frank Castle proved popular enough to get him his own series, which he shot earlier this year and is expected to debut later in 2017.

Between doing those shows, Bernthal still found plenty of time to make movies, and he even found time to chat with IGN about a variety of topics.

Brendan Muldowney’s Pilgrimage couldn’t be any more different from Bernthal’s normal role, if there is such a thing, because it takes place during 13th century Ireland as it follows a group of monks on a dangerous journey through the rugged Irish landscape to bring a sacred relic back to Rome. The diverse group of monks is played by Stanley Weber, John Lynch, Hugh O’Conor and none other than Tom Holland, and Bernthal is playing a character simply known as The Mute, a man unable to speak who comes from a violent past.

Aquaman Director on DC Film’s Watery, Complicated Shoot

Aquaman Director James Wan says the upcoming DC film's underwater setting has made for a "very technically complicated shoot."

Wan spoke about the difficulties of filming Aquaman with The Hollywood Reporter, saying both the water and dry-for-wet sequences are "very complex." He listed things like "CG with the hair, and how their clothing moves, how are they floating, what kind of rig we put them on," as some of the challenges.

Adding to the difficulty is Wan's desire to make minimal use of CGI, opting to shoot with actors as often as possible, which he says makes filming "very difficult and time-sucking and time-challenging." Despite the various challenges, Wan hopes his efforts will "pay off in spades" once the movie is completed.

Rick and Morty’s 11 Most Emotionally Devastating Moments

Rick and Morty didn't get to be one of the best sci-fi shows on the air simply by throwing the titular duo into one wacky adventure after another. This is a series full of complex, flawed characters trapped in a nihilistic universe where anything can (and usually does) happen. Many of the most memorable Rick and Morty moments are those where the crazy sci-fi antics take a back-seat to real, disturbing character drama.

With the series finally returning to Adult Swim this weekend, we thought it would be a good time to look back at the most disturbing and emotionally devastating moments the series has delivered so far. Beware of spoilers for episodes up to and including the Season 3 premiere, "The Rickshank Redemption."
