'The One,' starring Martin Sheen, brings Oklahoma Christmas story to the big screen

For Primetime Emmy-winning actor Martin Sheen , it was worth braving the kind of cold weather that "goes right to the bones" to travel to Oklahoma and film the inspirational Christmas movie "The One." "The first impression ... when I came on the set, I looked around, and I was the oldest guy in the universe. I couldn't even find anyone in the neighborhood as old as I was," Sheen, 86, said during a break in filming at One Set Studio in Oklahoma City. "I was amazed at how young the crews were — and how skilled they were in all these different departments. That was a revelation. I had no idea. You know, when I started, I was always the youngest guy." "The might of the theme" and the chance to play a "very disarming character" named Jefferson were vital in enticing the Golden Globe winner to make his first movie in the Sooner State. "He was very sweet, and I didn't have to kill anyone or beat anyone up or curse or do anything vulgar. That's always a plus in the movies these days," Sheen said, chuckling. "I liked that it would have, hopefully, a positive effect." 'The

Oklahoman named new head of DC Studios, replacing James Gunn, Peter Safran

An Oklahoma native is now in charge of the cinematic futures of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and more. Native Tulsan Jeremy Latcham has been named the new president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. In a major Hollywood shakeup, Latcham is replacing DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran, who were hired four years ago to lead a reboot of the superhero brand. Like Gunn, Latcham previously worked for DC rival Marvel Studios. As a Marvel executive, the Tulsa Union High School graduate earned producer credits on the first two "Iron Man" movies, the first two "Avengers" installments, Gunn's 2014 hit "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming." Latcham went on to produce the movies "Bad Times at the El Royale," "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and "The Breadwinner." Plus, he is producing the upcoming "Naruto" film adaptation . The shakeup follows the massive merger between DC Studios' owner, Warner Bros., and Paramount Skydance, which was completed in October . Gunn and Safran were hired in 2022 to steer DC Studios in a new direction after several high-profile box-office letdowns, including 2017's "Justice League ." Under their tenure, DC released three movies — last year's critically acclaimed,
