While Netflix adaptations like “The Woman in the Window” offered more groans than thrills, this latest page-to-screen story already appears to be a more lively take on a popular mystery novel....

Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson both have packed schedules Lucasfilm Tell us about it. Both Johnson and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy are on totally different production schedules at the moment. For those not in the loop, Johnson landed a lucrative deal back in 2021 with Netflix to produce two sequels to “Knives Out,” which was previously a Lionsgate feature. “Glass Onion” is the first of those two sequels revisiting our gentleman sleuth, Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), for another murder-mystery....

Showrunner Tony Gilroy Brought A Lesson From Jason Bourne To His Work On Andor Lucasfilm By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Nov. 17, 2022 7:01 pm EST How do you successfully breathe new life into a beloved, 45-year-old franchise? The answer might not be what you’d expect. Season 1 of “Andor” on Disney+ is coming to a close, and though it has had lower viewership than previous “Star Wars” series, it is by far the best and most innovative of the pack....

The 16 Best Don Cheadle Movies, Ranked HBO Max By Liam Gaughan/Nov. 3, 2022 7:56 pm EST It’s hard to call an actor like Don Cheadle “underrated” given how long he’s been active in the film industry. However, it feels like Cheadle isn’t often recognized for what an incredible cinematic chameleon he is. Whether he’s trading quips with Robert Downey Jr. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, popping up in prestige dramas, or playing key supporting roles as part of sprawling ensemble casts, Cheadle has an incredible versatility to him....

The Rings Of Power’s Most Important Location Explained Prime Video By Marcos Melendez/Sept. 9, 2022 4:08 pm EST Spoilers follow for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” As “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” explores the vast world of Middle-earth and its neighbors, it was inevitable that the series would feature the live-action debut of Númenor.

Why David Gordon Green Created That New Character In Halloween Ends Universal By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Oct. 14, 2022 4:58 pm EST The conclusion to David Gordon Green’s ambitious reboot/revival of the beloved boogeyman slasher is finally here — “Halloween Ends” releases in theaters (and on Peacock) today, and the critical response to the film has already been divisive to say the least. Green’s Blumhouse-produced trilogy started off with an impressive bang with 2018’s “Halloween,” in which we revisited Haddonfield with an older, paranoid version of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis)and her troubled family....

There’s a page on Know Your Meme that breaks it down, tracking the way internet users have made gifs of Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) flexing in the mirror during sex, cracked jokes about his love of Huey Lewis and the News, and turned his axe-swinging violence into pithy reaction images about having a bad day at work....

Big Jake Could Have Been A Team Up Between A Young Jeff Bridges And John Wayne Columbia By Jeremy Smith/Oct. 18, 2022 4:16 pm EST Hollywood history is littered with “what ifs.” Some are massive (“What if Tom Selleck hadn’t been committed to ‘Magnum P.I.’ and signed on to play Indiana Jones in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”), some are tragic (“What if Bruce Lee hadn’t died at the moment he’d become a movie star in the U....

Cursed Part 3 Eastern Video Productions In a 2017 interview with Vanity Fair, Chris Pratt told the story of how he landed his first gig. Pratt was an athlete in high school and dropped out of community college to take odd jobs, even occasionally working as a stripper. As described in a biography in EW, he eventually landed in Hawai’i, sleeping in his van and working as a waiter. It was during this part of his life that Pratt had a chance encounter with Rae Dawn Chong....

Oh, it doesn’t matter! The Roku Channel What Radcliffe didn’t yet understand was the nature of the film they were making, which he spoke about during the junket. “I got the script, and I got the email first that was like ‘The Weird Al biopic, and you’d be playing Weird Al,’ and my first reaction was kind of, ‘Oh that’s incredibly cool, but there’s gotta be people that are physically closer than me… And then I read the script and a few pages into the script I was like ‘Oh, it doesn’t matter!...

George R. R. Martin Thinks House Of The Dragon Will Run Four Seasons HBO By Mike Shutt/Oct. 12, 2022 7:27 am EST As someone who has had problems with the pacing of the story for “House of the Dragon,” I have wondered how showrunner Ryan Condal and the other writers will sustain this tale as an ongoing series. They have already gone through 21 years of story in eight episodes, and as someone who hasn’t read “Fire & Blood,” the book which “House of the Dragon” is based on, I wonder how much more story there is to even go, because the pace they are currently going would take them another two decades into the future in the middle of next season....

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Will Have The ‘Biggest Stakes’ Of The Franchise Marvel Studios By Marcos Melendez/Dec. 15, 2022 12:38 pm EST It’s the end of an era for the MCU. Although we got to have fun with the “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” it will soon be time to say goodbye to the Guardians as we know them. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” will serve as the trilogy topper to James Gunn’s superhero series, and could very well be the last time we see the characters that inhabit it....

Eyes Wide Open Warner Bros McDowell told The Guardian that in order to prepare for the role of Alex, Kubrick made him watch “horrendous films” every day for months. This speaks to the degree of realism Kubrick was hoping for in the film and it was not a comfortable experience for McDowell. Even the scene in which the actor had someone spit directly into his face was one that Kubrick had them shoot many, many times....

How Cowboy Bebop Broke The Anime Opening Mold Funimation By Adam Wescott/Dec. 4, 2022 12:18 pm EST I love anime opening credits. The best of them distill the strongest qualities of their source material into beautiful, ninety-second chunks of music and animation. Even the worst of them churn up love in my heart. I remember almost nothing about “Nobunagun,” but I have a special place in my heart for its outrageous hard-rock theme song “Respect for the Dead Man....
