UNBROKEN Then, Now and Forever - the biopic and the book officially coming 2026. If I can survive rocking out on shag mustard-colored carpet on my first guitar ('technically a ukulele' lol) and remain as excited now as I was then, and survive the highs, the lows, good people and the downright maliciousness in the business I've chosen to be in and still get to rock with my friends with a smile on my face on the stage today.

Maybe this will help narrow your scope this weekend. This week has a lot going for it, from a Bruce Springsteen biopic, to Rose Byrne giving the performance of a lifetime, to the continuing love story between a hot rabbi and a podcaster. Then there's a trip back to Derry (because people haven't learned to just go live anywhere else in Maine) so Pennywise can terrorize a whole new crop of kids, and another chapter of Anne Rice's television universe premieres on AMC+.

Released on streaming today, the new Hulu biopic directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg ("Unpregnant") - which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival - begins Wolfe Herd's story as she's fresh out of college and attending a tech networking party in Los Angeles. It ends with her becoming the head of Bumble and the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire. James plays the lead with a perfect mix of naivety and girlboss cunning, showing Wolfe Herd's attempts to navigate through the boys' club of startup culture, becoming a pariah along the way and ultimately triumphing.

I feel such a huge responsibility playing a real person, so I would sit in front of her MasterClass and mimic along, copy the hand gestures,

KJ Apa expressed his honor in bringing James Stewart's story to life, reflecting on the values of patriotism and integrity associated with Stewart's legacy and service.

Ringo Starr worked closely with director Sam Mendes for two days to ensure his biopic script accurately reflects his early life, particularly his family and first marriage.

"It's been an unbelievable journey developing this film and bringing it to life feels surreal. Not only did the Scorpions' music help me get through tremendous difficulties as an Iranian immigrant in America in the early 80's, but their message of love, peace and rock 'n' roll seems more relevant today than ever."

It was refreshing to watch this film after now having sat through 30 years' worth of biopics of various musical figures. This movie removes pretty much all the baloney that most biopics think they need to include.
