Pictures By Marcos Melendez/Nov. 3, 2022 12:14 pm EST “Black Adam” features the long-awaited debut of Dwayne Johnson in the superhero genre, but he is not the only person that makes the latest DCU movie so exciting. For the first time, the Justice Society of America makes its way to the big screen alongside the titular anti-hero....
Serenity’s Intense Action Scenes Had To Rely On Actors Over CGI Universal Pictures By Jenna Busch/Aug. 15, 2022 5:59 pm EST The Joss Whedon TV series “Firefly” ran for a single season on Fox. It never really had a chance for a successful run on network television; the episodes were run out of order, and three were left unaired. Despite this, enough people loved the show and bought the DVD box set that Universal Pictures gave a green light to a follow-up film, “Serenity....

Why it’s essential viewing Sony Pictures Television Created by John Rogers, Duane Capizzi, and Jeff Kline, and executive produced by Jackie Chan, “Jackie Chan Adventures” is one of those “let’s do it and be legends” types of shows that shouldn’t work as well as it does. A Jackie Chan cartoon starring a likeness of the Hong Kong action star but having absolutely nothing to do with his actual life? Genius. Turning Jackie Chan into a blue sweater-wearing Indiana Jones-type might be the kind of pitch a coked-up ’90s children’s TV executive thought was the greatest idea ever, but man if it does not absolutely rule....
The Good Nurse Trailer: Eddie Redmayne Might Be A Very Bad Nurse, Actually Netflix By Ryan Scott/Sept. 7, 2022 12:36 pm EST Netflix has a knack for getting a lot of very talented people together in movies that seemingly just wouldn’t get made at a traditional studio anymore. Case in point, “The Good Nurse” is a movie that features two Oscar winners in the form of Jessica Chastain (“It Chapter Two”) and Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”) front-and-center in a thriller that is based on true events....
The Menu Gave Nicholas Hoult And Anya Taylor-Joy A Lot Of Room To Improvise Searchlight Pictures By Matthew Bilodeau/Nov. 17, 2022 5:34 pm EST As we roll into the Thanksgiving movie season, I hope folks don’t let a movie like “The Menu,” which /Film’s Rafael Motamayor calls “one of the best horror movies of the year,” fall under their radar. Although it’s an entirely different beast than a movie like “Barbarian,” this is the kind of movie you want to know little about going in....
The Moments That Defined TV In 2022 Netflix / Apple / Disney+ / AMC / HBO By Sarah Milner AND SlashFilm Staff/Dec. 13, 2022 8:00 am EST Staring at my computer screen with the thousand-yard stare of someone who has seen stuff, I find myself unsure how to characterize 2022. The last year has been, frankly, not that different from the year before; despite the promise of vaccines, a new president in White House, and my new job (thank you /Film), 2022 turned out to be a lot less “post”-pandemic than many of us hoped....
Middle-earth goes dark (but hopefully not too dark) Ben Rothstein/Prime Video “These people are under a log in the supposedly pitch black, moonlit night, so how far can you go while still allowing the viewer to see?” he explained. The DP called it “technically challenging” to balance that lighting scheme with the torchlight in the scene, but also says, “it was really rewarding because the content of the scene I think is some of the best in the season....
The Rings Of Power Strengthens The History Between Gandalf And Halflings Ben Rothstein/Prime Video By Valerie Ettenhofer/Oct. 15, 2022 2:31 pm EST Gandalf the Grey has been around for a long time. Long before he met Frodo Baggins, or even Bilbo, J.R.R. Tolkien’s works say he was created as a Maiar, a celestial-like being that forged the earth before the First Age. Yet the author’s texts only give us the specifics of Gandalf’s history during the Third Age....
There’s A Method Behind Doom Patrol’s VFX Madness HBO Max By Ernesto Valenzuela/July 21, 2022 2:08 pm EST “Doom Patrol” isn’t a conventional superhero show, but that doesn’t mean it’s without the grandeur and out-of-this-world concepts that most comic book adaptations come with. One could argue that “Doom Patrol” features some of the weirdest creatures and villains out of any recent comic book show in recent memory. From the menacing candlemaker to Mr....
This Is A Story All About How Bel-Air Has A New Showrunner For Season 2 Now Peacock By Lex Briscuso/Oct. 14, 2022 9:53 am EST It wouldn’t be the first time the life of “Bel-Air” gets flipped turned upside down. The series, which is a dramatic adaptation of the 1990s comedy “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” once again changes showrunners ahead of its second season. Carla Banks Waddles, who previously served as a writer and co-executive producer on the first season, will now take over as showrunner from TJ Brady and Rasheed Newson, who departed the series over creative differences, according to a source who spoke with Variety....

What Does The Star Trek Universe Actually Look Like Outside Of Starfleet? Paramount By Witney Seibold/Dec. 7, 2022 9:00 am EST At last count, there have been 12 separate “Star Trek” shows in the franchise’s history. With only one notable exception, each show takes place aboard a Starfleet facility — a starship or a space station — and follows the experiences of the people who work there. “Star Trek” is, after all, primarily a workplace drama, and many, many episodes are devoted to a ship’s command structure, its operations, its separate departments....
‘He was incredibly inviting’ Lucasfilm There’s a tension between the two of you on the show, both through the episodes and through the overall journey. Could you two talk about playing that in the midst of this fantasy world? Bamber: I actually remember the first rehearsals of Tony [Revolori] with our first director. And I remember even within the rehearsals themselves, he was so supportive towards me. And just finding that balance with each other was so … Tony’s so generous when he’s working....

And Just Like That… Will Be More Joyful In Season 2 HBO Max By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 11, 2022 6:55 am EST It was shocking enough when HBO Max announced that they would be returning to the world of “Sex and the City” nearly two decades after the season 6 finale with the spin-off continuation, “And Just Like That…,” but the internet was ablaze when the show’s premiere kicked off with a massive twist....
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Production Began With A Touching Tribute To Chadwick Boseman Marvel Studios By Ernesto Valenzuela/Nov. 9, 2022 7:27 am EST “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is finally hitting theaters this week, and the follow-up to the critically acclaimed “Black Panther” has all eyes on it.
