Philadelphia native and Eagles fan Bradley Cooper was all over Super Bowl Lvii, apparently having the time of his life as his team battled the Kansas City Chiefs in a close game. It was only in the final seconds that his hopes of a win were dashed.

Bradley Cooper is all of Philly right now.

When a topic gets the Oliver Stone treatment, it typically means that it's a controversial subject getting a cinematic deep dive into its origins. He's seemingly left no stone unturned, exploring topics like 1980s greed ("Wall Street"), the Vietnam War ("Born on the Fourth of July" and "Platoon"), the Kennedy assassination ("JFK"), and illegal surveillance ("Snowden").
For two decades, the director had professional football on his radar, dating back to an early 1980s project titled "The Linebacker," which would have starred Charles Bronson. In 1999, Stone's vision of the NFL finally came to fruition with "Any Given Sunday." By then, the game had changed exponentially from the time Charles Bronson was an A-lister in Hollywood. Player side hustles were replaced by multi-million-dollar advertising deals. The allure of "Monday Night Football" was supplanted by around-the-clock coverage on cable and SportsCenter highlights almost on the hour. What did that exposure mean for the modern athlete?...

“I believe that a big reason why this ambitious idea of throwing a music festival in Harlem in which somewhere between 70,000 to 90,000 people every weekend would see performances was so that there was something joyous and hopeful for people at that point were kind of at the end of their rope,” Summer of Soul (Or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) director Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson says about the importance the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival had to a Black America ravaged by violence and assassination.
“It was a healing moment, if you will,” Thompson added during the film’s panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees event. The Roots drummer, bestselling author, musicologist and now Oscar nominee made his feature directorial debut with the feature documentary.
Having premiered at the virtual Sundance Film Festival in 2021, Summer of Soul took home the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in the documentary categories in Park City.

One of Jeffrey Lurie’s first jobs was cooking hot dogs and selling soda at General Cinema, his family’s chain of drive-in movie theaters. When not working the grill or pouring fountain drinks, he was tasked with checking the trunks of customers to see if anyone was sneaking in friends without buying tickets.
Decades later, Lurie has a very different day job, as the billionaire head of the Philadelphia Eagles, guiding the franchise to a Super Bowl championship in 2018 and earning a reputation as one of the most progressive owners in the NFL. He’s used his platform to promote charitable work for causes ranging from improving educational opportunities to police reform. Now, he’s turning his attention to another love — the movies, where he hopes to use cinema to shine a spotlight on social justice issues.

IFC Films has acquired North American rights to “The Meaning of Hitler,” Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker’s thought-provoking documentary about the enduring cultural fascination with the Nazi dictator and its resonance on contemporary politics.
Filmed over the course of four years, the documentary is set against the backdrop of the current rise of white supremacy and anti-Semitism, and explores the myths and misconceptions of our understanding of the past. Shot in nine countries, “The Meaning of Hitler” traces the dictator’s movements, his rise to power, and the scenes of his crimes through the lens of key locations in his life.
The documentary’s framework is inspired by Sebastian Haffner’s 1978 best-selling book of the same title, which dismantled the legend surrounding Hitler’s life through interviews with subjects including Martin Amis, Saul Friedländer, Richard Evans, Yehuda Bauer and famed Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld.

Alex Gibney has a new documentary film called “Totally Under Control” aimed at President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Neon will release the movie this October ahead of the general election, the distributor announced Thursday.
Gibney, an Oscar winner for “Taxi to the Dark Side,” has been quietly filming the documentary alongside co-directors Ophelia Harutyunyan and Suzanne Hillinger for the past four months.

Gibney criticizes carelessly designed lockdowns and how the economic effects of those lockdowns have led to 23 million job losses, not to mention widespread hunger, dislocation and a runaway federal deficit.

Lurie has teamed with Cinetic Media for their inaugural project The Meaning Of Hitler.

It was a Cinderella ending for the Eagles after they lost star quarterback Carson Wentz to injury late in the regular season, which tempered expectations. Led by backup quarterback Nick Foles, the Birds made it through the playoffs and withstood an onslaught from Tom Brady and the defending champs in Minneapolis, earning their first NFL championship in franchise history. Foles was named Super Bowl Mvp.

Visual effects have moved ahead leaps and bounds, allowing filmmakers to create stories in outer space that feel breathtakingly real. However, you can put all the razzle and dazzle you want up on the screen, but if you don't have a great story to tell, it doesn't mean much. Director Van Neistat doesn't have to worry about that problem in "A Space Program," which embraces its lo-fi aesthetics and is no less intriguing for it. Featuring Sam Ratanarat, Mary Eannarino, Evan Murphy, Chris Beeston, Pat McCarthy, Nick Doyle, Kevin Hand, Jeff Lurie, and Jared Vandeusen, the film is document and drama all rolled into one, chronicling artist Tom Sachs' incredible installation "Space Program 2.0: Mars" which sees him create a crude space program that will take two female astronauts to Mars to try and discover if there's any other life out there. And in this exclusive clip, you can...

In the video, which first surfaced on a website called CrossingBroad.com, Cooper is at a June 9 Kenny Chesney concert in Philly, rocking the requisite sleeveless flannel shirt, when he turns to the cameras and says, "I will jump that fence and fight every n***** here." Yikes.

Donovan McNabb is done playing professional football. The quarterback started his career with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, and though he spent several years with the Washington Redskins and then the Minnesota Vikings, he signed a one-day contract with the Eagles and officially retired from the NFL on July 29.
"I think when you've played this game for so long, you've just got to know when to say when," McNabb says during the ceremony of the decision. "You get to later in your career and you want to win a championship. You don't want to go through a rebuilding phase. You don't want to be kind of a stop-and-shop guy. You want to go somewhere where you can kind of get settled. And I just felt like my best move was to go on to my next phase."

Filling The Void: Jacobson and Silverbush Eye Hunger
While the United States continuously extends its charitable hands to famished communities the world over, we often turn a blind eye to those in our own communities unfortunate enough to lack the means to keep a stocked pantry with affordable, healthy foods. Collaborating for the first time, directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush broach our little talked about hunger issue with the feeling of infomercial conviction in lieu of invasive action. Their formulaic wake up call boasts celebrities like Top Chef star Tom Colicchio and Jeff Bridges with their mutual campaigns against domestic hunger, underscoring their pleas with heart-string strumming tales of famished families tethered to a broken system in which a lack of employment and perpetual poverty are the true underlying issues. Though compositionally bland and far from impartial, A Place at the Table surely directs some much needed attention to...

Chip Kelly is the new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. The team made the announcement Wednesday, despite earlier reports that he passed on the offer, opting to stay on at the University of Oregeon.
"Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles," says Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie in a statement. "He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh, energetic approach to our team."
Kelly had a 46-7 record in his four years coaching the Oregon Ducks, leading the team to a 2013 Fiesta Bowl victory over Kansas State. After that game, Chip said he would begin considering NFL offers, but eventually chose to stay on with Oregon, making the Philadelphia announcement a reversal in course.

It seems some people are already over the Christmas spirit as political analyst Tucker Carlson told a news panel that he feels Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick should have been executed for his dog fighting conviction.
Carlson was filling in for Fox News host Sean Hannity Tuesday, and told the panel that he doesn't believe Vick deserved a second chance for what he did, even though he admits to believing in second chances (for himself at least) and stated that he is also "a Christian". Wow, now that is definitely not what I remembered being taught in Sunday School. Then again, I didn't pay that much attention now that I think about it.
According to CBS News the panel had been discussing President Barack Obama's recent praise and phone call of support to the Eagles front office for giving Vick a second chance to start at quarterback. Mr. Obama...

The subject of Michael Vick's notorious past participating in dog-fighting seems to be forgotten by many during his successful 2010 season as quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles -- but not by Tucker Carlson.
The formerly bow-tied Fox News commentator subbed for Sean Hannity during his Dec. 28 broadcast, and when the subject turned to President Obama's recent acknowledgment of the Eagles giving the ex-convict a second chance, Carlson got heated.
"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances," he says. "But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should have been executed for that. He wasn't, but the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs? Kind of beyond the pale."
That "getting behind" entailed a presidential call to Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie which, among several topics,...

Photo by Pete Souza.On Monday, Sports Illustrated’s Peter King reported the details of a phone conversation between Barack Obama and Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. As Lurie retold it, Obama said, “‘So many people who serve time never get a fair second chance.’ He was passionate about it. He said it’s never a level playing field for prisoners when they get out of jail. And he was happy that we did something on such a national stage that showed our faith in giving someone a second chance after such a major downfall.” A willful misreading of the exchange fueled rancorous reactions in various online comments sections. “Love Obama but strongly disagree and will never forget what Vick did to those animals,” wrote user Dog Lover at The Hill, which had picked up the story.

Yes, the maligned Eagles quarterback proved himself a sadistic narcissist. But he's served his time, and he's dazzling in his second act. Buzz Bissinger on why America should let Vick off the hook.
I have gone round and round on the moral merry-go-round on Michael Vick.
Related story on The Daily Beast: Brett Favre, Prima Donna
When I first learned about what he had done in 2007-participated in acts of torture that were gleefully sadistic-i was sickened. I could just imagine Vick and his posse yukking it up as another dog went into spasmodic jerks of electrocution, or yelped in harrowing screams as another one was being hung. But these boys liked their deaths slow and showy.
When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Vick as a backup quarterback in August 2009, I was shocked. Michael Vick was an inhumane bastard; the animal part really didn't matter. Michael Vick deserved no second chance,...

Clive Owen has signed on to star in Columbia Pictures' thriller The International.
Directed by Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) from an original screenplay by Eric Singer, the story centers on an obsessive Interpol agent (Owen) who spearheads an investigation into one of the world's most high-profile and powerful banking institutions in an attempt to expose its role in worldwide arms brokering, corruption and murder. His efforts quickly turn into a deeper obsession when he comes up against more resistance by the very law enforcement system he serves.
Mosaic Media Group's Charles Roven and Richard Suckle are producing alongside Lloyd Phillips. John Woo, Terence Chang and Jeff Lurie are executive producing.
Shooting is scheduled to start in September in Europe.
Sony's Matt Tolmach and Shannon Gaulding are shepherding the project for the studio.
Since his breakout performance in Croupier, Owen has become an in-demand leading man whose credits include Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men and Derailed, opposite Jennifer Aniston. He won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award for his supporting turn in Sony Pictures Classics' drama Closer.
Owen next appears in Shoot 'Em Up and the Elizabeth follow-up The Golden Age. He is repped by CAA and Barry Hirsch.

NEW YORK -- Fox Sports analyst Cris Collinsworth said it all Sunday after the Philadelphia Eagles tied the Green Bay Packers during the last minute of regulation to send their NFL playoff game into overtime when he noted, "As (Eagles owner) Jeffrey Lurie celebrates, so do our executives in L.A." Fox had plenty to crow about as its Eagles-Packers game drew a 25.3 rating/41 share in the 55 metered markets, running over to 8:15 p.m. EST and giving the network's primetime lineup a hefty boost as well. The game, which the Eagles won 20-17, averaged a 30.7 rating in its last quarter-hour and was the highest-rated divisional playoff game on any network since 1997. The postgame show, which ran until 8:30 p.m., earned a 19.2 rating. That segued into a 10.8/15 for The Simpsons.
