Blanchett may be a legend in front of the cameras, but she says she's serious when it comes to looking toward a future without acting. Last year, in an issue of Radio Times, she opened up about potentially quitting acting.
'My family roll their eyes every time I say it, but I mean it. I am serious about giving up acting,' Blanchett said, according to Variety. '[There are] a lot of things I want to do with my life.'
She went on to say that she 'spent a lifetime getting comfortable with the feeling of being uncomfortable' as a famous actor, and still finds it a bit odd that she's treated differently than others.
'I've always felt like I'm on the periphery of things, so I'm always surprised when I belong anywhere,' she noted. 'I go with curiosity into whatever environment that I'm in, not expecting to be accepted or welcomed.'Cate Blanchett, 56, Stuns on the Red Carpet in Dress Made of Seashells first appeared on Parade on Jun 24, 2025

'Wolfenstein' TV series based on games in the works: 'The story of killing Nazis is evergreen'
What a logline! A Wolfenstein TV series based on the popular video games is coming our way, and even more eye-catching is the official logline that accompanies the news. Instead of a lengthy description of what the show will be, it simply states: "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen." (Truly, no notes.) Wolfenstein is a series of shooter games that depict an alternate history. They largely focus on the character of William "B.J." Blazkowicz, a U.S. solider during World War II who goes behind enemy lines and discovers that the Nazis are using bizarre experiments and the occult in an attempt to shift the war in their favor. The first game, Castle Wolfenstein, released in 1981. The most recent installments are 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood and the VR release Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot. Variety first reported the news of the TV adaption, which was confirmed by the involved parties on social media. Patrick Somerville of Station Eleven and Maniac is attached as the show's creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for Amazon MGM Studios. Also on board as EPs are Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham from Kilter Films, which produces Amazon's hit Fallout game-to-TV adaptation. On the gaming side, Jerk Gustafsson of Wolfenstein developer MachineGames will executive-produce alongside James Altman of Keyframe Films. A film version of Wolfenstein was previously announced back in 2012, though it never took off. It should also be noted that Amazon is fully leaning into adapting video games as high-profile series. After Fallout, the company also have its sights on Mass Effect, God of War, and Warhammer 40,000, the latter starring Henry Cavill. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Amazon is developing a Wolfenstein TV show
Following the success of Fallout , Amazon is turning its attention to another video game adaptation. The company is reportedly developing a series based on the Wolfenstein franchise with the help of some of the creative team behind Fallout , according to Variety . The details of how the Wolfenstein show will adapt the alternate history action of the games are still under wraps, but the subject matter remains unfortunately timely. The show's logline is "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen," according to Variety , which seems like a direct acknowledgement of that fact. Patrick Somerville, the writer and showrunner of Station Eleven , will reportedly serve as the writer of the Wolfenstein adaptation, with Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham and Jonathan Nolan producing the show through their company Kilter Films. The production company also made the adaptation of the William Gibson's The Peripheral for Amazon, and currently produces Fallout. While it might make sense to pair a new show with a brand new Wolfenstein game, the series has effectively been on hold since 2019. MachineGames, the Microsoft-owned developer of the last five Wolfenstein games, hasn't produced a new entry since 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot . The studio released Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in December 2024. Given the tumultuous state of Microsoft's Xbox division, the series could be your best bet for getting more Wolfenstein, assuming Amazon decides to move forward.

Amazon to Adapt Video Game Explicitly About Beating the Crap Out of Some Nazis
In what's quickly become an arms race among streamers, Amazon MGM Studios announced it's developing a TV series for Wolfenstein to add to its growing catalogue of video game adaptations. The announcement came from Variety, which reports that Patrick Sommerville of Maniac fame will serve as its creator, writer, and showrunner. Alongside Sommerville, James Altman and Jerk Gustafsson of Keyframe Films and game developer MachineGames, respectively, will also serve as executive producers. While Variety goes on to state that plot details are being kept hush-hush, the publication did note that Wolfenstein's 'incredible' official logline summarizes its premise succinctly, writing, 'The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.' Luckily, we have a reasonably detailed history from its source material to glean more about the series beyond its prescient premise. Wolfenstein is a first-person shooter legend dating back to the 1980s, primarily depicting the exploits of a soldier named William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz as he infiltrates Nazi bases and riddles their grunts, mechanical automatons, and more with a righteous hail of bullets. The series began with 1981's Castle Wolfenstein and originally largely dealt with Nazi experiments into the occult but was rebooted in 2014 by Machine Games, part of Fallout and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle publisher Bethesda Softworks, with The New Order. While Blazkowicz remains the series' protagonist, the revived Wolfenstein follows an alternate history where Nazi Germany won World War II through the use of advanced scientific technology, going on to invade the world. Its most recent title, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, was released in 2019. As mentioned earlier, should the Wolfenstein series materialize, it'll see Prime Video and producer Kilter Films double-dipping into Bethesda's catalog. The last of which is the Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell-led Fallout series. Fallout season two is slated to premiere in December, and it's already been renewed for a third season. Outside of the Bethesda universe, Prime Video has three other gaming adaptations in development. These series include adaptations of BioWare's sci-fi series Mass Effect, Santa Monica Studio's God of War, and from the tabletop side of gaming, Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000, starring former Superman and Witcher actor Henry Cavill. In the context of Prime Video's slate of video game adaptations and in comparison to Netflix's upcoming projects, including Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed, the trend of video game adaptations appears to be showing no signs of slowing. Our only hope is that Prime Video takes a page out of Netflix's playbook with its casting, choosing Alan Ritchson of Reacher fame as BJ. If you have a large man on retainer, it's only right to give him the role of one of gaming's leading men. Want more io9 news?
