Learning from the best Columbia Pictures Nobody is more aware of the fascinating contradictions behind his own chosen niche as a director and his biggest influence than Barry Sonnenfeld is. In the same interview with Nerdist, the director goes on to describe how it came to be that his visual style owes itself to one of the greatest filmmakers of all time: “I will say, I think it’s a specific look that I sometimes see in other directors or cinematographers....

Netflix Sci-Fi Movies That Deserve More Attention Netflix By Adam Wescott/Sept. 20, 2022 9:43 am EST There’s so much to watch on Netflix that it’s tough to know where to start. Curious viewers looking for science fiction genre movies might turn towards established classics like “Blade Runner.” They might return to the best superhero movies of all time, “Spider-Man” and “Spider-Man 2.” Perhaps they might even bust out “End of Evangelion,” the shocking movie climax of the “Neon Genesis Evangelion” television series, just to feel something....

Orphan Black: Echoes: Everything We Know So Far BBC America By Miyako Pleines/Oct. 5, 2022 5:15 pm EST It’s been five years since we’ve spent quality time with the Clone Club from “Orphan Black,” and when we last saw the “sestras,” all was well in their world. However, it seems like there are still stories to be told because a new spin-off, “Orphan Black: Echoes,” is currently in the works. The original series, which focused on the life of Sarah Manning and her shocking revelation that she was actually part of a group of clones in danger of being killed off one by one, set the television world on fire with its unique premise and impressive acting from Tatiana Maslany, who portrayed multiple, distinct versions of herself each episode....

Seth MacFarlane Isn’t Ruling Out An Animated Episode Of The Orville Hulu By Matt Rainis/Sept. 7, 2022 4:48 pm EST For a long time, people thought Seth MacFarlane could only make one kind of show. He got famous creating “Family Guy,” and followed them up with “American Dad” and “The Cleveland Show,” all three of which had extremely similar formats as animated comedies about families (it’s important to note that they were “comedies about families” and not “family comedies”)....

The Addams Family Tree Explained Paramount Pictures By Jessica Scott/Nov. 8, 2022 3:05 pm EST The Addams Family has been a part of American culture for 84 years, starting with cartoons in The New Yorker and branching out into sitcoms, live-action features, and animated films. Their morbidly hilarious shenanigans and fierce loyalty to each other go hand in hand, and they continue to speak to freaks, outcasts, and fans of the macabre today....

The Creator Of Star Trek: Lower Decks Has Mixed Feelings About Crew Member Romance Paramount By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Sept. 14, 2022 4:11 pm EST The third season of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” is rolling out on Paramount+, and by this point, we’ve come to know and love the ragtag U.S.S. Cerritos crew and their interpersonal dynamics very well. While Mariner and Boimler are no stranger to zany misadventures, the animated series has most successfully hooked us on its characters by focusing on a slice-of-life, intimately mundane side of the futuristic universe....

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Trailer Breakdown: The Maximals And Predacons Bring The Fight To Earth Paramount Pictures By Danielle Ryan/Dec. 1, 2022 3:28 pm EST Every generation of “Transformers” fan has a different introduction to the franchise: the ’80s gave fans the original cartoon series with the Generation 1 Autobots and Decepticons, and the 2000’s gave a new generation of fans the Michael Bay movies. And for those stuck squarely in the middle, there was only “Beast Wars....

Why So Many Networks Turned Down Breaking Bad AMC By Devin Meenan/Aug. 13, 2022 2:33 pm EST Some go-to advice for scriptwriting is to pitch your work as “x meets y”; two things with proven success mashed together. Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” famously pitched the series as “Mr. Chips becomes Scarface.” The boldness of that pitch won over then Sony Pictures Television executives Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlicht....

He is bad, your honor, but I love him 20th Century Studios Nowadays, it is common to criticize a piece of media for having “unlikable” characters or praise them when they give us likable ones. Having a protagonist who is competent isn’t as important as having a protagonist you like and identify with. But having a character who is messy is not a bug, it’s a feature. Jake Sully is not fun to watch because he’s good or competent or smart, or even a decent person, he is interesting to watch because he’s the slate the rest of the characters can bounce off of....

Scrapped animal characters Warner Bros. In an interview with ScreenRant, Stern talked about the potential of “Super-Pets” as a series and the concepts that were scrapped during the film’s long development cycle. The potential for these scrapped concepts all depends on how this film goes over with audiences: “We never want to jinx it, but it’s kind of hard not to, especially when you work on something for four years. And like I said, sometimes there was too much, so there are things that when we took it out, I was like, ‘But that will be good for a sequel if we ever were so lucky to have one....

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero: 5 Things We Learned From The Comic-Con Panel Toei By Jacob Hall/July 23, 2022 12:09 pm EST As someone who binged the entirety of “Dragon Ball Super” in three weeks last year and has yet to regret that life choice, I have somehow become /Film’s resident “Dragon Ball” guy, for better or worse. But that does mean I was well prepared to cover the San Diego Comic-Con panel for the latest movie in the franchise, “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” which saw a few key creatives assemble on the Hall H stage before screening the first 20 minutes of the movie....

Unlike the original film, which saw a thirsty — and showstopping — Julia (Claire Higgins) feeding men to resurrect her sleazy ex-lover Frank (Sean Chapman), the reboot focuses on what drives humanity’s hunger for pleasure and pain....
