Watch the trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever The trailer includes our first proper look at the new Black Panther, who was glimpsed only from the waist down in the previous trailer for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The identity of T’Challa’s successor is being kept a mystery for now; in the comics, Shuri (Letitia Wright) took up the claws, but there are other possible candidates in the MCU, including Nakia (Lupita N’Yongo) and Okoye (Danai Gurira)....

Blonde Trailer: Ana De Armas Transforms Into Marilyn Monroe Netflix By Jenna Busch/July 28, 2022 9:04 am EST Netflix has released a new trailer for the Marilyn Monroe film “Blonde” starring Ana de Armas (“Knives Out,” “No Time to Die”) in the lead role. Give yourself a moment to take in how shockingly similar de Armas looks to the legendary actress before you dive in. It’s uncanny. “Blonde” is directed by Andrew Dominik (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” “Killing Them Softly”), who also adapted Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name....

You ain’t nothin’ but a prairie dog National General Pictures Keep in mind, Elvis’s big comeback special was released in 1968, so he was back on top again for the first time since the British Invasion. Plus, he had a lot of acting experience. You can follow Beatty’s line of thought here. In fact, Elvis shot a western in 1969 called “Charro!” and he racked up quite a few westerns before he was done with movies (or movies were done with him), including “Love Me Tender,” “Stay Away, Joe,” “Tickle Me,” and “Flaming Star....

Darren Aronofsky Wanted Requiem For A Dream’s Love Scene To Be Unlike Anything Before It Lionsgate Home Entertainment By Shae Sennett/Oct. 31, 2022 5:43 pm EST Darren Aronofsky’s “Requiem for a Dream” is one of the most visceral movies of all time. The film sucks the viewer into the characters’ experiences with spine-tingling, gut-wrenching sensory overload. The film simulates some of the most over-stimulating feelings in the world — heroin, speed, grief, and orgasm....

Though the animated feature is both inspired by and connected to Kid Cudi’s simultaneous album release of the same name, the feature itself boasts an independent story with a talented cast of actors voicing its characters....

Frank Darabont Almost Cut One Of The Mist’s Greatest Moments, Until Thomas Jane Convinced Him Otherwise [Exclusive] Dimension Films By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 21, 2022 5:30 pm EST After 15 years, “The Mist” remains one of the most memorable horror films of all time, largely due to the infamous ending that strays away from Stephen King’s original novella. In honor of the film’s anniversary, /Film’s Eric Vespe spent months tracking down as many members of the cast and crew of the film as possible, to present “‘The Mist’ At 15: An Oral History Of Frank Darabont’s Gut-Wrenching Stephen King Adaptation....

Fred Astaire’s Final Film Is A Gothic Gem Worth Watching Universal Pictures By Bill Bria/Aug. 9, 2022 10:06 pm EST If one could have predicted what Fred Astaire’s final motion picture would’ve been, they likely would’ve guessed it was a movie musical, or at least something pleasant and frothy. Yet while Astaire was, in his Hollywood heyday, a consummate song-and-dance man, the actor seemed interested in leaving that reputation behind him during the last act of his career....

A well portrayed set of downward spirals Showtime “George & Tammy” follows Tammy Wynette (Jessica Chastain) as she navigates her career and complex string of relationships. She begins the series as a hopeful country music star who meets older legend George Jones (Michael Shannon), a charismatic country star with a reputation for hard living.

Godzilla Vs. Kong 2: Everything We Know So Far About Adam Wingard’s Sequel Warner Bros. Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/Aug. 25, 2022 3:12 pm EST It’s good to be the king (Kong). The Eighth Wonder of the World only just made his return to the big screen in 2021 with “Godzilla vs. Kong,” the fourth entry in Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse and the first movie to pit everyone’s favorite Big Boys against one another since Kong taught Godzilla the value of eating his vegetables in 1963’s “King Kong vs....

The wooden boy with the borrowed soul Just as we heard in the first teaser from this past summer, McGregor’s Sebastian J. Cricket tells us that this is a story that you may think you know, but you don’t. Unlike the aforementioned House of Mouse iterations, this “Pinocchio” from the award-winning filmmaker behind “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Shape of Water” with co-writer Patrick McHale is a bit darker and unafraid to tackle some heavier topics (just as GDT has been known to do throughout his career)....

Helena Bonham Carter Looked To The Stars To Understand Princess Margaret On The Crown Netflix By Lyvie Scott/Nov. 4, 2022 5:09 pm EST There’s been a lot of chatter regarding how historically accurate a show like “The Crown” is, but that doesn’t stop its cast from putting in major work to depict the royal family with accuracy. For Helena Bonham Carter — who portrayed Princess Margaret in the third and fourth seasons of “The Crown” — the process was multidisciplinary, to say the least....

Here’s Who We Want To See Play Mephisto In The MCU Marvel Comics By Valerie Ettenhofer/Nov. 1, 2022 3:00 pm EST Sometimes, it feels like Mephisto rumors have been around as long as the ageless Marvel supervillain himself. At the very least, you can count the passage of time by them. Remember when everyone thought Jake Gyllenhaal’s character in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” would be Mephisto, only for the character to be revealed as an ex-Stark Industries employee with a grudge?...

What is Valyria? HBO Rarely has the phrase, “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it” felt more ominous than when describing the world of “Game of Thrones,” providing yet another connection between the parent series and “House of the Dragon.” The history of Westeros and its accompanying continent in the east — called, believe it or not, Essos — looms large in the minds of the Targaryen royal family at the center of the prequel series, particularly because of all it represents for their ancestry....

House Of The Dragon’s Foot Fetish Scene Is Not What You Think It Is HBO By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 17, 2022 5:15 pm EST This article contains spoilers for the penultimate episode of “House of the Dragon” season 1. When “Game of Thrones” was first airing, discussions surrounding the way the series showcased sex and violence (and frequently sexual violence) often eclipsed the riveting storytelling or phenomenal performances on the show. Take a glance at social media following last night’s episode of “House of the Dragon,” and it appears we are retreading familiar ground....

How A 1920s Historical Epic Landed Jason Schwartzman His Role In Wes Anderson’s Rushmore Touchstone Pictures By Mike Shutt/Oct. 3, 2022 4:18 pm EST I think it’s safe to say the Coppolas are the designated First Family of Hollywood. Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire, Sofia Coppola, and Nicolas Cage scratch the surface of the vast network of Coppolas in show business. They even have their own Wikipedia page for a family tree....

How Sarah Chalke Almost Missed Her Chance At Scrubs NBC By BJ Colangelo/Aug. 22, 2022 4:54 pm EST Lasting nine seasons and a staggering 182 episodes, the medical comedy series “Scrubs” is cited as one of the best television comedies in history. Created by Bill Lawrence (“Spin City,” “Cougar Town,” “Ted Lasso”) and starring Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley, Ken Jenkins, and Neil Flynn, “Scrubs” centered on the lives of the medical professionals and patients of Sacred Heart Hospital, effortlessly balancing the tone of a workplace comedy with the heart of a serious medical drama....

John Huston Was Unraveling A Real-Life Mystery On The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre Set Warner Bros. Pictures By Lee Adams/Aug. 27, 2022 11:59 pm EST Long before Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro, or Wes Anderson and Bill Murray, John Huston and Humphrey Bogart were one of the great director-actor combos of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Their first collaboration, “The Maltese Falcon,” gave the actor his big breakthrough and one of his defining roles as the cynical private eye, Sam Spade....

Orphan: First Kill Trailer: Esther’s Back, Baby! Paramount By Valerie Ettenhofer/July 13, 2022 10:00 am EST Get ready to tell all your friends about a killer orphan movie like it’s 2009 again: the brand new trailer for “Orphan: First Kill” is here. If you’re a certain type of horror fan, this is probably a day you’ve been anticipating since the “Orphan” prequel film was first announced in 2020. If you’re not, you may only now be remembering the delightfully twisted horror flick that was the talk of, I can only assume from my own experiences, every high school in America when it dropped in the late aughts....
