Pittsburgh is no stranger to playing the backdrop for Hollywood films.

“The Dark Knight Rises,” “Flashdance” and “Sudden Death” are a few of the many movies that bring the Steel City onto the silver screen.

Now, Downtown Pittsburgh has transformed into a movie set yet again, this time for director David Leitch’s “How to Rob a Bank.” The Amazon MGM Studios film — expected to release Labor Day weekend 2026, according to Deadline — stars Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz and Pete Davidson.

From ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ to ‘Mission: Impossible,’ these are the fights, shootouts, car chases, and aerial maneuvers that vaulted action cinema to new heights—as told by the people who made them.

Christmas came early at FanX's Tampa Bay Comic-Con, where David Harbour confirmed that Violent Night 2, the blood-soaked holiday sequel, is officially heading into production in just four weeks. While speaking on stage during a joint panel hosted by Collider's Maggie Lovitt, with Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine, Harbour offered a clear timeline: “I'm doing the sequel to Violent Night in four weeks,” he told the crowd, eliciting cheers from fans of his gruff, beer-swilling, hammer-swinging Santa Claus.

A year-by-year "what if" filling in a century-long gap of Academy Awards recognition for noteworthy stunt artistry and design in Hollywood movies.

The Worst Man, an action comedy spec from Matt Altman (Red Widow) and Dave Matalon (Totally Killer), has landed at Universal Pictures, with 87North set to produce.

It’s great to have this guy back on the big screen. Oscar nominee John C. Reilly is set to join the cast of “How to Rob a Bank,” an upcoming action thriller from director David Leitch that’s gaining momentum at Amazon MGM Studios as it approaches production this month (via (TheInSneider).

Universal Pictures’ high-octane action film Love Hurts, from 87North, won the category by impressing the judges with its commitment to sustainability throughout development, production and marketing.
