2 w. ago ‘I don’t know how anyone takes themselves seriously in this job’: Hollywood hotshot Glen Powell talks to Marina Hyde

He’s an old-fashioned movie star in a digital age, making box-office smashes like Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters and Anyone But You. Now he’s lining up projects with everyone from Ron Howard to Edgar Wright. Could he be Texas’s answer to Tom Cruise?There’s that famous line in the first episode of The Sopranos, where Tony laments his place in the timeline. “Lately I’m getting the feeling,” he confides, “that I came in at the end. The best is over.” I know Tony was talking about the mindful joy of building an incredibly violent organised crime enterprise from the ground up – but lately I’ve been thinking about his words every time I watch Glen Powell giving it 200% as a movie star.

All horror movies are a reflection of their time, and ours are pretty scary.Tech dystopianism means that Frankenstein’s monster has become a byword for AI, while Bram Stoker’s Dracula has always drawn on a dark strain of English xenophobia. So it is no coincidence that these 19th-century gothic villains, stars of the earliest horror films in the 1920s and 30s, are back in cinemas with new adaptations from directors Guillermo del Toro and Luc Besson. Maggie Gyllenhaal is bringing out another Frankenstein, The Bride!, next year.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
