Summer isn’t over yet but HBO and its streaming arm Max are already moving on to fall. With its list of new releases for August 2023, Max is focusing on football! The American kind, mind you, not the actually footy kind.
August 2023 sees the release of two major football documentaries on HBO and Max. The first is the premiere of Hard Knocks on Aug. 10. The new season of long-running NFL training camp docuseries will center on the New York Jets, new employers of legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On Aug. 23, Max will air the aptly named Bs High. The doc tells the stranger-than-fiction story of high school football team Bishop Sycamore, which pulled off one of the more notable sports scams you’re likely to ever hear about.
Not of the football variety but in keeping with the North American sports theme will be season 2 of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty on Aug.

August is one of the weird months on the calendar. It feels like it should be early fall; September is Right there, after all. And yet August is one of the hottest months of the year for many in the United States, one last gasp of summer before autumn and its traditional TV schedule of new releases settle in.
This year’s fall schedule will look markedly different thanks to strikes by both the leading actors’ union and the leading writers’ guild in Hollywood, but August will still have some fantastic new hits coming to streaming. Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming platform Max is debuting new titles in just about every imaginable category, so here are the five we’re most excited for at The Streamable!

★★☆☆☆ The division between deranged villainy and complete buffoonery is a fine one. As bloodthirsty, silver-tongued businessman John Madec in French director Jean-Baptiste Léonetti's Beyond the Reach (2014), Michael Douglas tramples all over the line drawn in the Mojave desert sand as a maniacal caricature of Gordon Gekko toting a high-calibre Austrian rifle. Based on the 1972 novel Deathwatch by Robb White, Léonetti's film could have occurred any time since and in any barren, unforgiving landscape.

Wide Open Spaces: Grau’s Arid English Language Debut Misses the Mark
For his long awaited follow-up to his handsomely unsettling 2010 debut We Are What We Are (since remade in English by Jim Mickle), Mexican filmmaker Jorge Michel Grau turns to the American indie scene for Big Sky. But this desert set survival story trailing one teenager’s attempts to overcome the dastardly adults in pursuit of her is as equally ludicrous as another foreign filmmaker’s recent foray into English, French filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Leonetti’s nonsensical Beyond the Reach. Ill-advised and incongruously shaped at every turn, this technically proficient exercise’s greatest faults could easily be assigned solely to Evan M. Wiener’s woefully underwhelming and inconsistent screenplay. But then that would be too easy since beyond the plumes of beautiful desert landscapes, there’s little else of consequence in this simulated genre performance.

★★☆☆☆ With a homicidal big game hunter as its chief antagonist, Jean-Baptiste Léonetti's Beyond the Reach (2014) has a ripped from the headlines topicality, but unfortunately this plodding thriller consistently fails to engage. Michael Douglas plays John Madec, a high-flying finance mogul who likes to relax by taking trophies of wild, rare, if not actually endangered species. He doesn't particularly enjoy hunting, he assures his young tracker Ben (Jeremy Irvine), finding it tedious - he just likes to have heads on his walls. Madec turns up in the small town bordering the Mojave Desert in his $500,000 SUV with his specialist rifle and greases the palms of the local constabulary into letting him hunt a bighorn sheep.

After four previous instalments of Mission Nearly Impossible But Somehow They Pulled It Off, you know where you’re going here, and there’s often a feeling you’ve been there before: exotic locations, opera assassinations, car chases, high-tech MacGuffins, and a plot that puts Cruise’s spy crew out in the cold. But the bar is still pretty high, especially in terms of action set-pieces and authentic-looking daredevil stunts, which are surely a better outlet for Tom Cruise’s excessive zeal than Scientology.

It's not often these days that two Michael Douglas movies come along at the same time, however his character in Beyond The Reach couldn't be further from the inventor / superhero mentor he plays in Ant-Man. Set in the Mojave desert, this survival thriller offers up it's fair share of entertainment in it's cat-and-mouse style tale of murder and deception but sells itself short when it comes to a fully plausible plot. Young tracker Ben is going through something of a crisis in his personal life when a wealthy insurance broker, Madec arrives in town with an array of expensive weaponry and a set of flashy wheels. Madec is keen to be be shown around the harsh landscape that borders the town, wanting to hunt some big game while closing a deal. It isn't long before Madec lands the pair of them into some serious trouble and decides that Ben, rather than him,...

“Beyond this point, there will be monsters” says a pensive, gravelly-voiced Michael Douglas. The venerable star of Jean-Baptiste Léonetti’s Beyond the Reach is not far wrong either, as this character drama set out in the unforgiving landscape of the Mojave Desert very quickly becomes a dark cat-and-mouse horror flick. Problem is, it’s just not a

Can’t-Man: Reed’s Marvel Entry Positions Rudd as Dubious Franchise Tangent
Evidence of Marvel’s continuing imperviousness to even the most promising of fashionable script doctors is Ant-Man, an adaptation of one of the brand’s more obscure super hero offerings, featuring a protagonist whose transformative power lies in the most unassuming of eponymous spirit animals. With a screenplay tinkered on by Adam McKay and Paul Rudd following the original plans of Edgar Wright to direct from a script he wrote with Joe Cornish, one would expect a modicum of self-aware ridiculousness to beam this trifling entity into a rudimentary chunk of entertainment. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, despite the attempts of overly qualified cast members to energetically elevate unfortunate swaths of dialogue like “Get on the damn ant!” Directed by Peyton Reed, whose last theatrical feature was 2008’s Jim Carrey comedy Yes Man (which perhaps describes his...

The first time I interviewed Michael Douglas may have been the single worst interview moment of my life. After all, Douglas is a legend, a guy who has been part of this business his whole life, as accomplished as a producer as he is an actor. I could spend an entire day just talking to him about "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" or what it was like to do a TV series with Karl Malden in the '70s. The interview was supposed to be for "Last Vegas," the film he did with Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, and Kevin Kline. They put all four of them together for the interview, which would be a daunting room under the best of circumstances. Since the movie wasn't screened for me the night before the interviews, I walked into that room not having seen a single frame of the film. And...

Michael Douglas has some very serious complaints about "a crisis in young American actors" happening these days.
The two-time Academy Award has built a career with diverse roles ranging from a ladies' man in Basic Instinct and The American President to the deeply disturbed in Beyond the Reach and Falling Down.
Speaking to The Independent, Douglas offered his opinions on why few current actors are capable of having a career like his.
"There's something going on with young American actors - both men and women - because the Brits and Australians are taking many of the best American roles from them," he explained.
"Clearly, it breaks down on two fronts. In Britain they take their training seriously while in the States we're going through a sort of social media, image-conscious thing rather than formal training.
"Many actors are getting caught up in this image thing which is going on to affect their range.

In Beyond the Reach, Jeremy Irvine (best known for playing the lead role in War Horse) stars as Ben, a young tracker who has taken on the “family business” of serving as the one-man search and rescue operation of a small town on the borders of the unforgiving Mojave Desert. Rather than join his girlfriend, Laina (Hannah Mangan Lawrence) in Denver where she is starting college on a swim team scholarship, Ben remains behind--and is soon enlisted by the local sheriff to take a brash big-game hunter named John Madec out into the desert to hunt bighorn sheep. Unfortunately for Ben, he doesn’t immediately realize how dangerous of a predator Madec truly is.

James Wan’s Furious 7 continued defending its position this weekend as the year’s first blockbuster as it earned $29.1 million, winning the box office for the third weekend in a row. The feature also widened its lead as the highest grossing film of 2015 to date, earning more than 2014’s fourth place finisher Captain America: The Winter Soldier in the process.
However, the film was joined by two newcomers in the top 10, as the comedy sequel Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and the horror feature Unfriended finished in second and third place respectively. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, the sequel to the 2009 Kevin James vehicle, took in $24 million, while Unfriended finished with $16 million to round out the top three. The two were joined in the top ten by fellow newcomer Monkey Kingdom, as the Disney documentary took in $4.7 million to finish in seventh place.

I struggled to start this review because Beyond The Reach divided me in a tonally confusing, strangely endearing kind of way. Director Jean-Baptiste Léonetti calls upon the blistering Mojave Desert heat in his adaptation of Robb White’s novel Deathwatch, but he also calls upon a goofy-as-hell Michael Douglas. Part of the film wants to be this badass “most dangerous game” reimagining, turning Douglas’ character into a comic-booky Bond villain, while another more reserved aspect thrives on exploiting an extremely human struggle between two obviously mismatched classes. It’s about the rich vs. the poor, not just man vs. man, but most importantly, it’s about a raging lunatic who looks like a Cabela’s poster child gone apeshit.
Michael Douglas plays Madec, a millionaire/billionaire businessman who loves hunting big game. Jeremy Irvine plays Ben, a local tracker who is pining over a girlfriend who just left for a more fruitful college life.

We're warning you now - if you choose to watch James Corden and Michael Douglas's Basic Instinct spoof… you will Never be able to unsee it.
Fresh off a Pretty in Pink parody with Jon Cryer, Corden teamed up with Beyond the Reach's Douglas to spoof the most controversial movie of 1992.
Douglas reprises his role as Detective Nick Curran from Basic Instinct, with Corden stepping in for Sharon Stone as the seductive Catherine Tramell.
The duo re-enact Basic Instinct's infamous interrogation scene - but certainly share a different kind of sexual tension than Douglas had with Stone.
Corden's most sensitive of areas is mercifully obscured for television viewers at the moment of seduction, unlike Stone's in the original Basic Instinct.
Watch if you dare - don't say you weren't warned!
The Late Late Show with James Corden airs weeknights on CBS.

A dangerous game is played in a very hostile environment in Beyond the Reach, the latest film from director Jean-Baptiste Léonetti. The story opens up on Ben (Jeremy Irvine), a young tracker in the southwest who gets an offer he can’t refuse from a rich and powerful businessman named Madec (Michael Douglas).
Madec hires Ben to take him to a vast and barren part of the Mojave Desert where he hopes to add to his hunting collection. But in his hastiness to get a kill, Madec accidentally shoots a man and is forced to cover up his crime. Ben, however, doesn’t want to play along. Not willing to go down for murder, Madec turns the gun on Ben and forces him to walk across the desert with nothing on other than his underwear.

In his new movie Beyond the Reach, Michael Douglas plays a high-powered businessman who drags a hot, innocent twink young tour guide into the Mojave Desert to help him hunt big game. Alas, the excursion takes a wrong turn when Douglas aims for an animal and ends up killing another human; the only witness to the crime is that poor twink, and now he's the hunted one, running across the desert as Douglas follows in hot pursuit (as you'll see in this exclusive clip from the movie). The upside? At least Douglas makes the kid take off all his clothes before the chase commences. Yes, that's supposed to slow him down by exposing him to the scalding-hot desert sun, but when the tour guide is played by the awfully gorgeous Jeremy Irvine (best known for Steven Spielberg's War Horse), we doubt that any audience members will protest his movie-spanning shirtlessness.

Michael Douglas goes behind the scenes of his neo-Western Beyond the Reach in a new featurette.
The actor has teamed with filmmaker Jean-Baptiste Léonetti on an adaptation of Robb White's acclaimed 1972 young adult novel Deathwatch.
Michael Douglas turns 70: We celebrate with 18 classic pictures

Douglas stars as alpha-male big-game hunter Madec, who has a tragic accident out on the range while hunting a big horned sheep.
Madec attempts to broker a vow of silence with his young companion Ben (Jeremy Irvine), only for the consequences of their accident to begin haunting both men before long.
"[This film] had everything. It had a great story, a really interesting character and a lot more kind of action than a lot of movies that I've done," Irvine reveals in Beyond the Reach's extended featurette.

Michael Douglas goes to the dark side, showing off his talents as a villain in the new thriller, Beyond The Reach. As I say in my video review above, however, this film may be ‘beyond the reach’ of hit status but nonetheless, it provides a nice showcase for the villainous talents of Douglas, who for my money never topped the evil he displayed in his Oscar-winning turn in 1987’s Wall Street. Douglas plays Madec, a wealthy businessman looking to add to his trophy case by…...

Michael Douglas channels his inner bad guy for Jean Baptiste Léonetti's Beyond The Reach, which sees him as a high rolling corporate shark embarking on a deadly game of cat and mouse with his impoverished tour guide (Jeremy Irvine) during a hunting trip in the Mojave Desert.

Roadside Attractions will release Jean-Baptiste Léonetti's latest film "Beyond the Reach," a deadly thriller that sees Douglas cast as a corporate shark desperate to salvage his reputation after an accident during a desert hunting trip threatens to dismantle his fame and fortune. Jeremy Irvine ("War Horse") co-stars as his wise hunting guide who suddenly finds himself Douglas' next target. As the trailer indicates, the brutal desert setting serves up a minefield of dangers that Irvine must navigate in order to save himself and bring Douglas to justice. This nail-biting premise guarantees an electrifying face-off that the two leads carefully build up to in this isolated cat-and-mouse game. "Beyond the Reach" will be released in theaters and On Demand starting April 17. Check out the trailer below: Read More: Liongsate/Roadside Acquires Michael Douglas' Desert Drama 'The Reach'...

It’s been a while since Michael Douglas turned in a performance to rival that of his greatest character, Wall Street‘s Gordon Gekko. In the last decade, the once-solid actor has steered clear of sharp, probing movies and invested in more palatable fare such as And So It Goes and Last Vegas. That period of safe moves appears to over – for a brief time, anyway – judging by this first trailer for his next effort, Beyond The Reach.
The film made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, and since then it seems to have hidden from public view. Until today that is, as Yahoo! Movies has dropped the first preview, which strikes a chord somewhere between thriller and survival horror.
In the lead role, Douglas plays a ruthless businessman who ventures out into the Mojave Desert for an exclusive hunting excursion. All goes as one would expect.

Every year at the Toronto International Film Festival, there are a handful of films out of the hundreds selected to screen that just completely pass us by. Sometimes those pictures turn out to be hidden gems, while others are overlooked for a reason. However, in the case of "Beyond The Reach" (originally titled "The Reach"), maybe it didn't even need to screen at Tiff at all. It's every bit a b-movie thriller, not a prestige pic, but that doesn't matter as it looks like a decent slice of sun-baked fun. Michael Douglas and Jeremy Irvine star in the movie, directed by Jean-Baptiste Léonetti ("Carré blanc"), that centers on a massively successful businessman and expert tracker who goes on a hunting trip out in the Mojave Desert with a young guide. However, when the millionaire accidentally kills someone, the kid becomes his next target. A simple premise, and maybe not the brainiest the flick,...

Since I spend all day writing about movies, it's rare when a trailer comes out for a film I had no idea existed. But that's exactly what happened with Beyond The Reach, a new film starring Michael Douglas and Jeremy Irvine (War Horse). Here's the synopsis:
A high-rolling corporate shark (Michael Douglas) and his impoverished young guide (Jeremy Irvine) play the most dangerous game during a hunting trip in the Mojave Desert in this lean, mean cat-and-mouse thriller.
This looks like a fantastic, tense movie, and while the entire concept is a little bit ludicrous, it's the kind of thing that can translate very well into a tight, suspenseful film. This looks like a hell of a movie, and this first trailer definitely got my attention. Check it out below, thanks to Yahoo:

Michael Douglas was up at the Toronto Film Festival this week touting The Reach, where he stars as an avaricious big-game hunter who commits an accidental murder in the desert, then chases the innocent tracker (Jeremy Irvine) who happens to witness it. Douglas has played a lot of villains over the course of his career, but his Reach baddie is perhaps the most cut-and-dry of any of them, an out-and-out monster who drives an ultra-jacked SUV, barks evil orders into a satellite phone, and screams at our poor hero, "Why don't you just Die!" What made Douglas go so far to the dark side? He sat down with Vulture a few days ago to explain, as well as to chat about his next project, the Marvel movie Ant-Man.At the premiere, you said you took this archvillain role because, "Culturally, we're back to good guys and bad guys."

It takes a lot these days to create a movie thriller that is somewhat original and fresh. There are so many well-worn set-ups that every so often, we need something slightly unusual to shake the genre up a bit. That may be what we have to look forward to with The Reach, which made an appearance at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival and is now sealing a $2 million deal for the Us distribution rights.
The film stars Michael Douglas as Madec – a high-profile corporate lawyer whose intimidating skill in the courtroom is matched by his cold precision as a hunter. Obtaining a rare permit to spend seven days hunting big game in the Mojave Desert, Madec hires the quiet, conservative young Ben (Jeremy Irvine) as a guide, but finds his retreat takes a turn for the darker when he accidentally shoots an innocent man and realizes Ben won’t be helping him cover it up.

Michael Douglas popped up at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend to help promote the premiere of his new suspense thriller "The Reach".
During the event he sat down with MTV to talk briefly about Marvel's "Ant-Man" which began production last month. First up, he revealed that he will Not be donning the special suit that allows his character to shrink down to an ant's size - that will be saved for Paul Rudd's Scott Lang:
"Paul Rudd is ripped. He's been training and working out for this picture for a long time. He was so cut, that they had to soften his costume up, with all the built-in six-packs and all of that. My costume will be hung up and Paul will be wearing it in good form."
The project marks Douglas' first real effort in the superhero genre, and his first big visual effects film.

Much like Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford, Tommy Lee Jones, and other fantastic veteran actors before him, Michael Douglas is about to dive head-first into a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Peyton Reed's Ant-Man, he will be playing Dr. Hank Pym, a scientist, discoverer of the shrinking matter known as Pym particles, and a former superhero. But while you may now find yourself imagining the multiple Oscar-winning actor strapping on some armor and cool tech to go fight crime, you should slow down a little. It turns out that the Marvel Studios production is stressing the "former" in "former superhero," meaning that Douglas won't actually be suiting up. This confirmation comes from Douglas himself, who is taking a break from the filming of Ant-Man and has been up at the Toronto Film Festival promoting his new movie The Reach. While speaking to MTV, the Wall Street star made...

Exclusive: Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions are closing a deal around $2 million for U.S. rights for The Reach, the Jean-Baptiste Leonetti-directed thriller that stars Michael Douglas as an arrogant businessman/big game hunter who pursues a trophy and accidentally kills an innocent man. Jeremy Irvine plays the young guide who took him into the vast expanses of the Mojave desert. When the guide refuses to conspire in a cover-up, it becomes a mano a mano fight to the death as the hunter attempts to cover his tracks. Stephen Susco wrote the script and Douglas produced the tight thriller with Robert Mitas. Wme Global is brokering the deal that calls for the kind of day and date release that Lionsgate and Roadside executed so well on the films Arbitrage and Margin Call. The Reach plays in the Special Presentations section here at Toronto.
