Beast Star Idris Elba Had A Bad Encounter With A Bat In His Shower

‘…It was a bat in my shower. We out.’ Universal Pictures In an interview with The Breakfast Club, Elba explained that he was celebrating his birthday with his wife, presumably after he had recovered from COVID, and they were taking a shower together in their thatched-roof lodgings in Limpopo. There were plenty of critters crawling around at night, he said, and they could often hear them in the roof, but on this particular day, a bat somehow got into the shower....

Chainsaw Man Brings Horror, Carnage, And Emotional Devastation In The Biggest Anime Of The Season Crunchyroll By Rafael Motamayor/Oct. 13, 2022 9:08 am EST The fall 2022 anime season is jam-packed with anticipated shows, from returning franchises with surprising new takes, to new seasons of beloved shows and more. However, here is arguably no bigger or more anticipated premiere than “Chainsaw Man.” Based on the manga sensation of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the hype for this show is on the same level as something like the final season of “Attack on Titan,” despite it only just airing its first episode....

Cillian Murphy Worried Typecasting Would Cost Him His Shot At Peaky Blinders

It’s all about physicality Netflix At the time of casting for Thomas Shelby, Steven Knight was looking at both Cillian Murphy and Jason Statham for the role. Knight had been leaning more towards Statham for the role, he explained to Esquire, because Murphy didn’t come across as Tommy when they had met in person. Statham had the physicality needed for the role. As he shared with Entertainment Weekly, at the time of casting, Murphy wondered whether or not typecasting would cost him the opportunity to play such a meaty role....

Deep Blue Sea S Renny Harlin Will Direct At Least One Of The New Strangers Sequels

The studio is tripling down, but why? New Line Cinema It’s not surprising that “The Strangers” is getting a continuation. Both films were financially successful, and that’s just about the only qualification needed to warrant a sequel, especially in the horror space. But why is it that three of them are happening at once? Is the idea to do what Netflix did with “Fear Street” and tell one big story across three films?...

Every Die Hard Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

Every Die Hard Movie Ranked From Worst To Best By Jessica Scott/Aug. 26, 2022 12:58 pm EST “Die Hard” is one of the most beloved action films of all time. Above and beyond the regular “Is it a Christmas movie?” discourse that surrounds the film, “Die Hard” stands as a watershed moment in the action genre. The casting of Bruce Willis as the everyman action hero — as opposed to the Schwarzeneggers and Stallones of the day, muscle-bound demigods whose victories seemed absolutely certain — brought a new level of humanity and an underdog spirit to American action movies that persists today....

The “Stranger Things”-themed pop-up café made headlines on CNN and other international sites when it opened in Tokyo over the summer, not far from the famous Shibuya scramble crossing: featured in “Lost in Translation,” “Babel,” and “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” and used as an establishing shot in many other Hollywood films....

Killing A Main Character In Gravity Falls Was Never On The Table

Be careful what you tweet Walt Disney Studios Speaking with TV Insider, Hirsch recalled how one tweet caught the attention of fans and kickstarted endless speculation: “Early on in the season, just as Season 2 was premiering, out of the thousands and thousands of questions people asked me on Twitter, someone asked, “Will any characters die this season?” I said, “Yes, at least one character will die this season.” Like a tiny snowball rolling down a hill gaining size and importance, by the end of the season, I was reading people saying, ‘Alex Hirsch promised that Dipper or Mabel would die in the last episode....

Lower Decks Reminds Us The Star Trek S Sexiest Mavericks Are Archaeologists

Vash Paramount Petra Aberdeen is, of course, a direct reference to an archaeologist character named Vash (Jennifer Hetrick) who appeared in two episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and one episode of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” Vash, stepping straight out of an airport adventure novel, was every bit the “dazzling archaeologist” archetype, sweeping the ordinarily staid and stuffy Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) into a cave-exploring adventure, and living a life on the edge of the law....

But, by 1977, some were ready for a change, including Marshall’s own son....

Shazam! Director David F. Sandberg Almost Directed A Completely Different Superhero Movie Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/Sept. 6, 2022 9:50 pm EST One of the most notable aspects of David F. Sandberg’s 2019 superhero film “Shazam!” is its sense of wide-eyed wonderment. The title character is a tall, muscular, adult superhero with lightning powers and the ability to fly. In actuality, Shazam is the alter ego of one Billy Batson (Asher Angel), an orphaned teen who, through a complicated set of circumstances, acquired the ability to become a superpowered adult....

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 Trailer: The Incredible Animated Series Is Almost Back Lucasfilm By Rafael Motamayor/Dec. 7, 2022 12:05 pm EST “Star Wars” is seldom as good and innovative as it is in animation. Sure, “Andor” is absolutely fantastic, but the animated projects in the franchise have time and time again challenged not only what a “Star Wars” story could be, but how it can look. There was Genndy Tartakovsky’s 2D-animated “Star Wars: Clone Wars,” which gave us the best action scenes in the entire franchise, and the final season of the 3D “The Clone Wars,” which was not only visually stunning, but improved the prequels in virtually every way....

The Daily Stream Burning Funnels Life S Ambiguities Into A Simmering Psychological Thriller

Why it’s essential viewing NHK In screenwriting, there’s this idea that good dialogue should have subtext, such that the thing characters are talking about isn’t really what they’re talking about. “Burning” offers a masterclass in that. Rewatching it with knowledge of how the plot plays out brings that to the fore, as every interaction between characters takes on deeper meaning. An example of this comes early in the film as Jong-su’s dream girl, Shin Hae-mi (Jeon Jong-seo), pantomimes eating a tangerine and says things like, “Don’t think that there is a tangerine here....

This time, Mitton proves that COVID-19 horror films don’t have to be exploitative or the cheaply manipulative drek filmmakers have already rushed to market....
