Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Could’ve Featured A Far Grislier Fate For Mordo Marvel Studios By Ernesto Valenzuela/Aug. 6, 2022 12:24 pm EST “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” underwent various changes throughout its production. The turbulent history of the film started back when Scott Derrickson left the project due to creative differences, with “Spider-Man” and “Evil Dead” director Sam Raimi taking the reins on the project with a new script from Michael Waldron....

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Is A ‘Roller Coaster And Not A Crossword Puzzle’ — See First Image Lionsgate By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 22, 2022 10:10 am EST Did you miss him? Of course you did! Everyone’s favorite private detective with an unparalleled nose for the truth is back and ready for another round of “CSI: KFC” action. After writer/director Rian Johnson promptly reinvigorated the murder-mystery genre with the Oscar-nominated “Knives Out” in 2019, audiences, in no small part due to Daniel Craig’s gloriously campy portrayal of Benoit Blanc, immediately looked ahead to the next time we could see the detective doing what he does best — snooping around in everyone else’s business, casually making suspects uncomfortable, and using his vast insights to solve all the most complicated crimes....

Is It Wrong That We Just Want Dedra And Syril To Kiss Already In Andor? Disney+/Lucasfilm By Jenna Busch/Nov. 28, 2022 3:04 pm EST Major spoilers ahead for the “Andor” season finale. Syril (Kyle Soller) and Dedra (Denise Gough) are the ickiest couple to exist in a Star Wars project, and that includes Luke and Leia after the audience learned that they were related. This particular “Andor” ship is horrifying. Dedra is a cold-blooded bureaucrat in the ISB who cares about nothing but order and putting down the rebels....

Jordan Peele Wanted The Characters Of Us To Be Smarter Than Your Average Horror Cast Universal Pictures By Miyako Pleines/Oct. 30, 2022 8:00 pm EST Despite his roots in comedy, Jordan Peele has become synonymous with horror over the last few years. His 2017 Oscar-winning film “Get Out” — which won Best Original Screenplay — received wide recognition for its smart, socially aware film about a young Black man, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), who goes to spend the weekend at his white girlfriend Rose’s (Allison Williams) family estate....

Ncuti Gatwa Will Return For Sex Education Season 4 Despite The Whole Doctor Who Thing Netflix By Eric Vespe/Aug. 3, 2022 6:58 pm EST It is very possible that “Sex Education” is the most successful/least talked about Netflix series. People who have seen it love it and by all accounts a lot of subscribers watch it, but for some reason, I rarely see it in “the discourse.” That could very well be a “me” problem telling me I need to reexamine my social media feeds, but it does please me that this great show is entering its fourth season in a world where it’s a minor miracle if a streaming series makes it beyond a second one....

Page 2: Star Trek, Guillermo Del Toro, Ghostbusters, James Cameron, Elysium, David Fincher, Paul, Aliens And More What is Page 2? Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. We’ve included links here to videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness. Mawgan recreated Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in 60 Seconds using paper cubedudes....

Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City Featurette “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” is brought to us by writer/director Johannes Roberts (“47 Meters Down,” “The Strangers: Prey at Night”), and is the first film in the live-action series not written by Paul W.S. Anderson. In the featurette, Roberts stresses the importance of the film being a faithful adaptation of the games. The first shot we see from the featurette (and an image highlighted by the film’s trailer) is a recreation of the first human zombie seen in the “Resident Evil” video game series — the “The Turning Around Zombie” munching away on a victim in the tea room....

Sabrina Impacciatore Made Up A Backstory For Valentina In The White Lotus Season 2 HBO By Shae Sennett/Dec. 7, 2022 8:40 am EST This post contains spoilers for “The White Lotus” season 2, episode 6. The latest episode of “The White Lotus” season 2 is a major breakthrough for Valentina, played by the Italian actress Sabrina Impacciatore.

Sophie Jarvis Explores The Rot Beneath The Beauty In Until Branches Bend [TIFF Interview] Reign Films By Ryan Coleman/Sept. 12, 2022 3:50 pm EST Early into “Until Branches Bend,” the finely wrought first feature from writer/director Sophie Jarvis, Laney (Alexandra Roberts) says to her sister Robin (Grace Glowicki), “There’s more to life than Montague,” the small town where they work as line inspectors on a peach farm. “I know that,” Robin quickly retorts, not realizing how big and how complicated life is about to become....

Spirited: Release Date, Cast, And More For Apple’s Christmas Carol Retelling With Ryan Reynolds And Will Ferrell Apple TV+ By Ryan Scott/Nov. 2, 2022 11:50 am EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) “A Christmas Carol” is one of the truly classic Christmas stories from any medium. Originally written by Charles Dickens, the story has been adapted many times before on both the big and small screen....

Star Wars: Padawan Gives Us A Thrilling Young Obi-Wan Kenobi Adventure Lucasfilm By Bryan Young/July 26, 2022 9:00 am EST This will contain mild spoilers for “Star Wars: Padawan.” “Star Wars: Padawan,” written by Kiersten White, tells the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s first real mission as a Padawan learner. As the book opens, Obi-Wan is a strict adherent of the rules and struggles with the impenetrable nature of his master, Qui-Gon Jinn....

Story Is Secondary When It Comes To A Rob Zombie Horror Film Anchor Bay Films By Sarah Musnicky/Aug. 26, 2022 8:14 pm EST Whether through film or the written word, the importance of visuals cannot be dismissed. Both mediums require us to paint images for the audience to consume and explore. The more memorable the visual image conjured up, the deeper it will embed itself in a person’s mind, even years later....

Terrifier 2 Ending Explained: Food’s A Little Funny At The Clown Cafe Cinedigm/Bloody Disgusting By Matthew Bilodeau/Oct. 26, 2022 3:23 pm EST This article contains major spoilers for “Terrifier 2.” When you reflect on the slasher villains we accept as mascots of the genre, it’s fascinating to see how far the sinister Art the Clown has come from his indie roots. The pantomime slasher initially started out as a creepy idea in director Damien Leone’s 2008 short film “The 9th Circle,” and has since become the kind of headline sensation that would make William Castle smile....

The 15 Best Supernatural Episodes, Ranked The CW By Addison Peacock/Dec. 8, 2022 2:28 pm EST “Supernatural” ran for a whopping 15 seasons, not including the prequel “The Winchesters,” which follows a young John and Mary Winchester before the events of the original series. The show, which was actually originally intended to be about two journalists, spans over 300 episodes of brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) saving people, hunting things, and doing the family business, with a flannel shirt, a gruff voice, and a classic rock soundtrack....

Prisoners of the Ghostland RLJE Films Nicolas Cage has delivered some unhinged performances throughout his career, so when he said that “Prisoners of the Ghostland” was possibly the “wildest movie” he’s ever made, people got curious. And on top of that, “Prisoners of the Ghostland” also has Cage working with legendary cult director Sion Sono. The end result: an odd movie! “Prisoners of the Ghostland” is not nearly as wild and crazy as Cage made it sound, and it’s not one of Sion Sono’s best works, either....

The Creepiest Characters In The Sandman, Ranked Netflix By Christian Gainey/Aug. 5, 2022 3:04 pm EST Get yourself a coffee, Red Bull, or a bottle of No-Doz because “The Sandman” has finally arrived on Netflix and no one’s dreams are beyond his grasp.

The Film Script That Left Jack Nicholson In Tears Paramount By Mike Shutt/Aug. 21, 2022 5:00 pm EST This may sound a little strange, but I think we may underrate Jack Nicholson as an actor. Yes, he is obviously one of the most beloved actors in the history of cinema and has won three Academy Awards, but I feel like when we think about Jack Nicholson these days, we boil him down to one thing: He’s the devilish scamp you do not want to be on the bad side of....

The Graveyard Book: Everything We Know So Far About The Neil Gaiman Adaptation Bloomsbury By Sandy Schaefer/July 19, 2022 4:36 pm EST Neil Gaiman’s work has become ever-more-popular fodder for screen adaptations of late, and it’s not hard to grasp why. The “Stardust” and “American Gods” author excels at painting vivid portraits of worlds where the fantastical quietly co-exists with the mundane, only to be uncovered by plucky, lively heroes like Coraline Jones....

The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring’s Ending Was Physically Painful To Film New Line Cinema By Jeremy Mathai/July 27, 2022 5:46 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. When putting together a master list of the riskiest and most gargantuan productions of all-time, “The Lord of the Rings” has more than earned its place at or near the very top. As if shooting all three films at the same time wasn’t enough of a logistical challenge, director Peter Jackson and his core team of collaborators had to fend off unforeseen complications at the last minute, meddlesome studio executives, and the expected aches and pains involved in carrying out a large-scale film shoot on-location in remote areas....
