Get out Columbia Pictures Reflecting about the incident after a long career, the heralded performer couldn’t even remember what production he was having the meeting about! The rings you would have to jump through and the games the higher-ups play with young auditioning actors was starting to take its toll on Dreyfuss. He grew frustrated after what was probably a power move by casting director and talent executive Milt Hamerman at the time....

It’s Easy To Love The ‘Chaotic Good’ Energy Of Shin Ultraman [Fantastic Fest] Toho By Jacob Hall/Sept. 25, 2022 9:00 am EST I knew nothing about Ultraman when I sat down to watch “Shin Ultraman,” and I’ll be perfectly honest: when the credits rolled, I still didn’t know much about Ultraman. The new film from director Shinji Higuchi is a modernized update of the classic Japanese character, a skyscraper-sized alien who defends the Earth from various threats, both internal (those blasted kaiju just keep emerging from the ground) and external (our planet is apparently on the radar of every scheming alien in the galaxy)....

James Wan Says M3GAN Is ‘Annabelle Meets The Terminator’ Universal Pictures By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Nov. 21, 2022 5:53 pm EST James Wan’s “Malignant” was one of last year’s best surprises, a quietly marketed horror film harboring a bonkers twist, over-the-top horror sensibilities, and a strong sense of humor in an era of “elevated horror” trends. Despite strong word of mouth and critical praise, it wasn’t quite profitable enough to make back its budget, but “Malignant” fans remain loyal and enthusiastic enough that the film has instantaneously become the closest thing to a modern “cult classic” we have....

The first rule of being Wednesday is don’t talk about Wednesday Netflix Christina Ricci and Jenna Ortega did eventually talk about their respective experiences of playing Wednesday. “I think we had that conversation a little bit later,” Ortega told E! News. “And she related to a lot of struggles or interesting challenges that made the job more fun or exciting in certain aspects, and that I really appreciated.” The two actors also found that they had a lot in common with each other — and their shared character....

Kevin Feige Rejected The Original Storyline For Captain America 3 Because It Wasn’t ‘Big Enough’ Marvel Studios By Devin Meenan/Nov. 20, 2022 12:44 pm EST It’s been known since 2016 that the third “Captain America” movie wasn’t always going to be “Civil War.” For one, Robert Downey Jr.’s involvement took some negotiation and you can’t have “Civil War” without Iron Man. Second, the original plot was totally different. As /Film reported at that time, the initial threequel premise centered around the “Madbomb....

What we think Krapopolis will be about Thankfully, we don’t need to speculate too much here, because actually have some information about what “Krapopolis” will be about. Here is the synopsis: [A] highly anticipated new animated series from Dan Harmon, Krapopolis centers on a flawed family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world’s first cities without killing each other. The show tells the story of Tyrannis, King of Krapopolis, who is a mortal son of a goddess and a mantitaur, described as a “half centaur [horse + human], half manticore [lion + human + scorpion]....

Quentin Tarantino’s First ‘Disturbing’ Movie Experience Didn’t Come From A Horror Film Miramax By Jeremy Smith/Nov. 16, 2022 7:55 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Quentin Tarantino exploded onto the filmmaking scene in 1992 with “Reservoir Dogs,” a hang-out film in which eight gangsters hole up in a warehouse after a diamond heist gone horribly wrong. His gift for profane dialogue riddled with pop-culture references was pitched straight to the wheelhouse of Gen X couch potatoes who grew up on syndicated TV series and MTV, but it was his penchant for casual brutality that drew the admiration/ire of critics and moviegoers....

A closer look at Ethan’s night out Fabio Lovino/HBO While it’s easy to look at the party scenes from last night’s episode as a simple test of faith for Ethan, I’m convinced something more is going on beneath the surface. The relationship between the foursome has been fraught from the moment they stepped off the boat in Sicily. Whether it’s Cameron dismissing Harper’s work in employment law, Daphne waving away the idea of infidelity, or Cam exposing himself to Harper on purpose — uncomfortable, boundary-pushing things are always happening within this group....

Would Steve Martin really retire? Hulu Can a performer as passionate and noteworthy as Martin roll over and call it quits forever? Comedians are often too addicted to the joy that making people laugh brings — and someone like Martin, who has so perfected his own brand of making people laugh, isn’t exempt from that. It seems as though Martin isn’t ready to fully walk away from his career just yet....

That ’90s Show Trailer: Welcome To Chez Fez Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/Dec. 22, 2022 12:49 pm EST Hello Wisconsin! The first full trailer for “That ’90s Show” is here, and along with the new generation of Point Place kids, fans are getting a first look at what the original series ensemble has been up to since we last saw them. First thing’s first: Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) has a chain of hair salons, and a wonderfully tacky commercial to go with them....

The Banshees Of Inisherin’s Jenny The Miniature Donkey Had Her Own Donkey Pal On Set [Exclusive] Searchlight Pictures By Witney Seibold/Oct. 21, 2022 5:06 pm EST Martin McDonough’s “The Banshees of Inisherin” is an intense, sad movie about the lengths one will go to to achieve peace during a depressed, turbulent time. Set on a remote Irish island in the 1920s, Brendan Gleeson plays a man named Colm who decides one day that he would really rather not be friends with his longtime drinking buddy Pádraic (Colin Farrell) anymore....

‘It’s even bigger than I anticipated.’ Universal Pictures For each of you, I’d love to hear how “Bros” was brought to you and what it meant for you, personally, to join the cast and be part of this movie. Eve Lindley: Well, for me, it was just a run-of-the-mill audition. I was super excited about everybody who was involved. I’ve loved Billy for such a long time. It wasn’t until much later that the monumental, groundbreaking element became part of it....

The Christmas Story House Is Up For Sale, With A Whole Lot Of Conditions MGM/UA By Jenna Busch/Dec. 8, 2022 4:23 pm EST What do you want for Christmas this year? Is it a Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle? Is it a fuzzy pink bunny costume? A very sexy leg lamp for your window? Heck, you may even have The Old Man’s leg lamp in your own home already....

A conquerer of the sea (and money) Warner Bros. Pictures Before “Aquaman” hit theaters in 2018, Momoa had only appeared once in a starring role as the superhero in Joss Whedon’s poorly-received “Justice League” film. Not the greatest way to start your superhero career, but Momoa remained one of the few bright spots of that ill-fated film. His badass and charming take on the character was refreshing considering the general outlook on Aquaman....

The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes Casts Viola Davis As Its Villain ABC By BJ Colangelo/Aug. 15, 2022 2:56 pm EST Viola Davis is about to be dripping in Capitol fashion, y’all. Lionsgate’s upcoming “The Hunger Games” prequel film “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” has cast Davis as Dr. Volumnia Gaul, the head gamemaker of the 10th annual Hunger Games. Davis joins an already stacked cast of Tom Blyth as young Coriolanus Snow, Rachel Zegler as District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird, Josh Andrés Rivera as District 2 mentor Sejanus Plinth, Peter Dinklage as unintentional Hunger Games creator Casca Highbottom, and Hunter Schafer as Tigris Snow....

The Rings Of Power: Is Theo’s Blood Hilt The Sword Of Sauron? By Marcos Melendez/Sept. 16, 2022 3:29 pm EST Spoilers follow for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is making a big deal about concealing who is playing the evil Dark Lord Sauron, and most fan theories have been far from perfect. And while we still wonder which character will be revealed as the enigmatic villain, there is one thing that lingers in the back of my mind....

Titans Season 4 Review: A More Focused Season Full Of Supernatural Horrors And Effective Humor HBO Max By Rafael Motamayor/Nov. 7, 2022 5:00 pm EST “Titans” is off to what could be its best season yet, as it finally puts the focus on the team itself rather than on the legacy of its mentors. The new season brings horror and magic to the show in thrilling ways, which combines with the signature edgy tone of “Titans” to deliver some wacky comic book weirdness and thrills....

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Was A Feminist Masterpiece Ahead Of Its Time New Line Cinema By Danielle Ryan/Aug. 28, 2022 11:00 am EST When David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” debuted in theaters in 1992, audiences and critics were pretty unimpressed. The ABC series “Twin Peaks,” created by Lynch and Mark Frost, was often pretty strange and occasionally a little scary, but it was also very funny....

Disney By Witney Seibold/Oct. 7, 2022 6:00 am EST Because the MCU has become as elaborate and strange as it has in the 14 years since its inception — will anyone address Vision’s “Civil War” concerns that there seem to be more and more superheroes appearing all the time now? — “Werewolf by Night” makes no efforts to ease viewers into the fact that werewolves and monsters are a real, regular part of the world....

Release the monsters! Marvel Studios “Werewolf by Night” finally gives the MCU the horror film it desperately needed, as Michael Giacchino channels Universal Classic Monsters movies to bring a tale of a group of hunters being killed off one by one by a monster, with the cinematography, tone and even the humor of a classic ’40s monster movie. There are some surprisingly gruesome kills here for Marvel, we’re talking incinerations, beheadings, mutilations, and more....
