‘When I met him, he clearly had a lot to prove’ A24 It’s so good to speak with you guys. Thank you so much for doing this. Aronofsky: Were you there last night? I was there last night. Aronofsky: What’d you think? I really didn’t know what to expect, because as you said, going into it, we didn’t know. Because there’s no trailer yet. No nothing. I loved it. Aronofsky: Oh, good....
Why Chris Hemsworth Changed His Diet Before A Pivotal Thor: Love And Thunder Scene Marvel Studios By Jenna Busch/July 13, 2022 2:33 pm EST When actors have to bulk up for a film, it’s not just about working out. Sure, they might be hitting the gym six days a week, but they also have to change their diets. Often this calls for more protein than one would usually eat. For “Thor: Love and Thunder” star Chris Hemsworth, it was a whole lot of meat, according to a Centr video (via Delish) with his trainer....
Why Hacks Star Hannah Einbinder Thought The Series Was Ending After Season 2 HBO Max By Valerie Ettenhofer/Aug. 26, 2022 2:39 pm EST As a TV viewer, few things are more upsetting than a show that’s run on long past its expiration date. But when “Hacks” concluded its second season on a surprisingly final note this summer, I thought maybe I’d discovered something even worse: a show that ended by choice in the middle of its prime....
Why Wednesday Is What Got Tim Burton To Finally Make An Addams Family Project Netflix By Matthew Bilodeau/Sept. 28, 2022 5:51 pm EST It’s difficult to think of anyone who is currently having a better year in the world of horror than Mia Goth (“Pearl”), but Jenna Ortega is making the rounds. As if the bloody winning streak of “X,” “The Fallout,” and “Scream” weren’t enough, Ortega is prepared to make everyone’s Thanksgiving better in the most ghastly way possible with the release of “Wednesday....
Will Resident Alien Get A Season 3 At Syfy? SyFy By Valerie Ettenhofer/July 21, 2022 2:50 pm EST In the hit SyFy series “Resident Alien,” the town of Patience, Colorado is being overrun by aliens. At first, it was just Harry (Alan Tudyk), an extraterrestrial on a mission who assumed the identity of a town doctor after crash landing on earth. But the series is halfway through its second season by now, and it’s becoming a lot harder for Harry to maintain his disguise thanks to the presence of a newly-hatched alien baby and the impending arrival of another species from outer space....
5 Essential Olivia Newton-John Projects And Where You Can Watch Them Paramount By Jeremy Smith/Aug. 8, 2022 7:43 pm EST Olivia Newton-John was a 1970s pop-cultural phenomenon on par with The Bee-Gees. The Australian singer had it all: angelic voice, smoldering beauty, and … well, she just had “it.” Nowadays, we know well enough not to try to quantify “it,” and as we mourn the superstar’s passing at the age of 73, all I can do is turn you on to her essential works, where you’ll either get “it” or be wrong....
All It Took Was Richard Curtis To Get Hugh Grant On Board With Bridget Jones’s Diary Universal Pictures By Shae Sennett/Dec. 7, 2022 9:02 pm EST If you’re a fan of ’90s rom-coms, then you probably love the unforgettable films written by Richard Curtis starring the irresistibly charming Hugh Grant. My personal favorite among them is “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” a modern adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” that centers around the indulgent and imperfect Bridget Jones caught in a classic love triangle....

Charlie Cox Was Happy To Explore Daredevil’s Lighter Side In She-Hulk Disney+/Marvel Studios By Sandy Schaefer/Oct. 18, 2022 10:50 am EST Marvel’s Netflix shows are far from perfect. Their seasons tend to run too long, they often lean on Orientalist tropes, and some of them feature Danny Rand (I kid… but not really). At the same time, they boast stunning action scenes, are refreshingly adult in terms of their tone and content, and benefit from top-notch casting....
Darren Aronofsky Fought The Studio To Keep Mickey Rourke In The Wrestler By Matt Rainis/Sept. 8, 2022 1:35 pm EST Darren Aronofsky is a director known for his ambition. Starting with his incredibly risky debut film, “Pi,” he’s known for going all-out in telling layered and metaphysical stories such as “Black Swan” and “Mother!” But following “The Fountain,” one of his more shakily reviewed films, Aronofsky decided to scale back his storytelling for his next project....
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer: Who Needs Heroes When You Have Thieves? Paramount By Chris Evangelista/July 21, 2022 4:23 pm EST Roll the dice and get ready for “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” which hopes to bring the classic role-playing game to the big screen in a much, much better way than the previous film adaptation. This new take looks surprisingly light and fun, and the first trailer for the film just debuted at SDCC....
Overlooked Columbia Pictures In a December 2019 interview, Deadline asked Frank Darabont if recent viewings of “Shawshank Redemption” have lined up with his recollection of shooting. Rather than highlighting an aspect of the filmmaking or storytelling, he instead points to Tim Robbins’ performance as perfectly calibrated to the film: “The one thing that strikes me when I revisit the film is just how great, and how subtle, and how pitch-perfect the work of Tim Robbins is throughout the movie....
Getting I Saw The Devil A Korean Release Meant Kim Jee-Woon Had To Cut Some Scenes Magnet Releasing By Devin Meenan/Nov. 28, 2022 5:00 pm EST On paper, “I Saw The Devil” doesn’t break new ground. Intelligence agent Kim Soo-hyun (Lee Byung-hun) sets out for revenge after the murder of his fiancee Jang Joo-yun (Oh San-ha). When he discovers the identity of her murderer, Jang Kyung-chul (Choi Min-Sik), he decides to play cat and mouse to drag out his vengeful catharsis....
A racer on and off the screen Universal Pictures All of the “Fast & Furious” films revolve around the underground scene of fancy, souped-up foreign cars and the high-speed/high-stakes lifestyle of street racing. This scene would be strange, exciting, and a little intimidating for most people. But Paul Walker already felt fairly at home amongst those NOS-powered cars. In a 2012 interview with IGN, Walker talked about his experience with street racing....
How The Real-Life Friendship Between Jon Hamm And Elisabeth Moss Influenced Mad Men AMC By Matt Rainis/Nov. 3, 2022 2:47 pm EST “Mad Men” is a deeply philosophical, introspective show that focuses on characters who all deal with some sort of isolation or loneliness. For Betty, it’s the isolation of being a ’60s housewife. For Don, it’s the loneliness of nobody around him knowing who he truly is. For Peggy, it’s being one of the only women in a male-dominated field rampant with sexism....
Hulu’s Reboot: Release Date, Trailer, And More For Keegan-Michael Key’s Sitcom Satire Hulu By Marcos Melendez/Sept. 15, 2022 12:49 pm 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.)

Larry David’s Mork & Mindy Audition Would Have Fit Right In On Curb Your Enthusiasm HBO By Miyako Pleines/Oct. 8, 2022 9:00 pm EST When we think of “Mork and Mindy,” we think of Robin Williams. The young comedian played Mork the alien in the 1978 sitcom who ends up living with a human named Mindy (Pam Dawber). Williams shines as Mork, giving the audience a patented Robin Williams experience: He delivers his lines with an energetic enthusiasm that at times seems almost superhuman, and his physical comedy is wickedly funny to watch....
