MR. WONDERFUL Trailer Showcases Michael Madsen's Final Leading Role in a Deeply Personal Family Drama — GeekTyrant
Here's the trailer for Mr. Wonderful , which offers an emotional preview of what would become Michael Madsen's final leading role before his passing at 67 from heart failure. Madsen plays Brian Fenton, a weary college professor juggling a crumbling career, a troubled son spiraling into addiction, and the emotional toll of caring for his father as he slips into dementia. It looks like a grounded, character-driven performance that highlights Madsen's ability to carry vulnerability beneath his rugged screen presence. Director Mark David, who previously worked with Madsen as a DP on several films, reflected on the actor's legacy, saying: 'A really sweet guy, warm, funny and such a powerhouse on screen. I believed every word he said on camera. I wanted to make more movies with him.' Writer and producer Daniel Blake Smith echoed those sentiments, quoting Madsen's sister, actress Virginia Madsen: 'Thunder and velvet… mischief wrapped in tenderness. Nowhere was that emotional complexity more vividly on display than the vulnerable and deeply emotional work he put into the lead role in our film.' The cast also includes Robert Miano, Kate Hodge, and Lew Temple. Mr. Wonderful is set to hit the festival circuit as both a family drama and a moving tribute to a cinematic legend.

Unreleased Beyoncé Music Stolen in ATL Before Show Kickoff
Source: Shutterstock / Shutterstock In a startling incident, unreleased music and sensitive materials belonging to global superstar Beyoncé were stolen in Atlanta just days before the kickoff of her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter shows at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The theft occurred on the evening of July 8, inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market, where members of Beyoncé's team had parked their rental SUV. According to an incident report obtained by WSB-TV, the vehicle, a black Jeep Wagoneer, was broken into through the back lift gate. Two suitcases were stolen, containing not only personal belongings but also highly sensitive professional materials. Among the stolen items were watermarked unreleased music tracks, plans for upcoming show performances, and set lists for both past and future concerts. These materials are considered critical to the production of Beyoncé's tour, making the theft a significant blow to her team. The victims of the theft, identified as Christopher Grant, Beyoncé's choreographer, and Diandre Blue, one of her dancers, reported the incident to Atlanta police. In addition to the unreleased music and show plans, the thieves also made off with laptops, designer sunglasses, clothing, and a pair of AirPods Max headphones. The loss of these items has raised concerns about the potential for leaks or misuse of the stolen materials. RELATED: Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour Has Social Media In A Chokehold Atlanta police have launched an active investigation into the theft and are following multiple leads. Using Apple's 'Find My' feature, investigators were able to track the stolen headphones to an undisclosed location. Officers conducted a suspicious stop in the area, where several vehicles were identified as potentially connected to the crime. One of the vehicles, a red 2025 Hyundai Elantra with a Georgia license plate, is now a key focus of the investigation. Surveillance footage from the parking deck has also been obtained, and detectives are working to identify the suspect or suspects involved. An arrest warrant has been issued, but police have not yet released the name of the individual under investigation. WSB-TV has chosen not to disclose the name of the person questioned until formal charges are filed. Detectives have also dusted the vehicle for fingerprints, though it remains unclear whether any positive identifications have been made. The investigation is ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The theft comes at a critical time for Beyoncé, who is in the midst of her Cowboy Carter tour. The Grammy-winning artist is scheduled to close out her fourth Atlanta show tonight at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. While Beyoncé's team has not yet commented on the incident, the loss of unreleased music and show plans could pose challenges for the production of her performances. Fans and industry insiders alike are expressing concern over the potential implications of the theft. Unreleased music is often closely guarded by artists and their teams, as leaks can undermine promotional strategies and impact the commercial success of future projects. The stolen materials also include plans for Beyoncé's live performances, which are known for their intricate choreography and high production value. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of securing personal and professional belongings, particularly during high-profile events. Atlanta police are using the opportunity to promote their 'Clean Car Campaign,' which encourages residents and visitors to remove valuables from their vehicles to prevent theft. As the investigation continues, Beyoncé's fans are rallying behind the artist, hoping for a swift resolution to the case. The theft has cast a shadow over what was meant to be a celebratory moment in her career, but many are confident that Beyoncé and her team will overcome this setback. For now, the focus remains on recovering the stolen items and ensuring that the Cowboy Carter tour continues to deliver the unforgettable performances that Beyoncé is known for.
