A journey through the Atlas Mountains - Lonely Planet travel video

In this short opener to Lonely Planet’s Pathfinder series in Morocco, we’re treated to some gorgeous visuals of the Atlas Mountains, village markets in Tanaghmeilt, as well as the Cascades d’Ouzoud waterfall. If this doesn’t inspire you to start looking up tickets for the Marrakesh Express, we don’t know what will.

Nau’s Story of Recycled Down, Episode 1: Design

The Story of Recycled Down - Episode 1: Design | Nau 2015

Nau is committed to sustainability in their entire line, so it should come as no surprise that this year their designers figured out a way to recycle used goose down. Using a cleaning process, they are able to restore the loft of each piece of apparel to a like new condition. We’ll be following this series on their Fall/Winter 2015 line closely as they role out more transparency initiatives for the environmentally conscious consumer.

Robbie Maddison’s Pipedream POV Edit

Action Cam | Robbie Maddison's Pipe Dream POV 4K | Sony

If you haven’t seen the full video for Robbie Maddison and DC’s project Pipe Dream, stop what you’re doing and watch it right now. Not every many people are crazy enough to even think of “surfing” on a motocross bike, and even fewer athletes who can pull it off. We spotted this little behind the scenes look put together from Robbie’s helmet and on board cameras, while doing some research on our new Sony Action Cam. We doubt we’ll ever film anything quite this epic, but expect a full review of this powerful little camera soon.

The Program Movie Trailer

The Program - New Official Trailer - In Cinemas October 16

The rise and fall of Lance Armstrong is alternatively a heroic effort and a soap opera. Far from casting the fabled Tour de France winner as a benevolent Titan, The Program looks like an much more brutally honest account of the rampant doping in cycling in the last two decades. No word on a US release date, but you can bet we’ll be there on opening night when it does come out.

Michael B. Jordan has his sights set on his next directing project. The Creed star is working with Amazon MGM Studios on a remake on The Thomas Crown Affair, according to reporting in Deadline. Jordan was already attached to star and produce the movie, but has now decided to take over as director as well.

As of right now, there are no other stars attached to the movie, and Jordan himself has been attached to a remake for almost a decade. Now, though, it looks like he's more committed to actually making it, having wrapped production on a new film with Ryan Coogler, marking his fourth collaboration with the director.

Andy Serkis will direct the next chapter in the Lord of the Rings franchise
Andy Serkis as Gollum in The Two Towers

Although he's had a career filled with great roles, Andy Serkis may always be defined by his performance as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. As it turns out, though, Serkis may be okay with that. The actor and director is set to return to the world of Lord of the Rings with a new prequel film called Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. The movie is set to hit theaters in 2026, and thus far, we don't know a ton about the project.

Ian McKellen's Gandalf is one of the franchise's original stars who is set to return for the project, and in a recent interview with This Morning in the U.K., he offered some details about the upcoming project.

The best Mark Wahlberg movies of all time
From Pain & Gain to Boogie Nights, these are the best Wahlberg movies that you can stream now
Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter

Few actors have had more surprising careers than Mark Wahlberg. After living out a fairly troubled youth and having a brief career as a rapper, Wahlberg transitioned to the big screen and became one of the most enduring movie stars of the past 20 years. Across a wide range of genres, Wahlberg has managed to prove that he has the kind of charisma and charm to carry big-budget spectacles. At the same time, he's also proven that his skills as an actor can be used in smaller, supporting performances, leading to a far more successful acting career than many might have assumed 25 years ago. The films on this list are the best Mark Wahlberg movies, and the ones that crystallize what great Mark Wahlberg movie should be.
