Here’s When You Can Watch Beast At Home Universal Pictures By Jenna Busch/Oct. 4, 2022 3:28 pm EST Idris Elba versus a giant lion is the best pitch ever for a film. “Beast” was released by Universal Pictures in August of 2022, but you’ll be able to watch him battle the giant cat at home less than two months later. All Idris Elba’s recent widower Nate wanted to do was take his daughters to a game preserve in South Africa to see where their mother grew up, and they get attacked by a rogue lion....

How One Of Glass Onion’s Biggest Themes Directly Connects It To Columbo Netflix By Josh Spiegel/Nov. 23, 2022 1:00 pm EST Spoilers ahead for both “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion.” The idea of “true disruption” runs rampant through the new Netflix film “Glass Onion.” True disruption, we’re told by a very confident billionaire living it up on his private island, comes in many forms. It can come in the form of a viral influencer who pushes questionable medical remedies....

Neil Gaiman Says The Sandman Season 2 May Not Happen Because It’s ‘A Really Expensive Show’ Netflix By Danielle Ryan/Aug. 22, 2022 8:49 am EST There’s no concrete way to tell if a show has been successful enough for Netflix to renew it for another season, and “The Sandman” creator Neil Gaiman has realistic expectations about the impressive comic book adaptation continuing. He’s been honest with fans and journalists who ask about the potential for a second season, telling them the series’ fate is in the hand of Netflix executives and there’s just no telling whether the show’s success was enough to justify greenlighting more....

The returning cast members Netflix Despite countless attempts on their lives, every major character survived season 2. The last time we see John B. and his accomplices, they disappear into a stormy sea and wash up on a foreign shore totally unharmed. The teaser trailer released by Netflix confirms that the cast will all be returning for season 3, including the newest characters — Cleo, played by Carlacia Grant, and Carla, played by Elizabeth Mitchell....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Showcases Just How Annoying Living On A Starfleet Vessel Would Be Paramount By Witney Seibold/Sept. 15, 2022 8:00 am EST Prior to “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” the experiences of lower-ranking Starfleet officers were largely placed in the hands of the notoriously goody-goody character of Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Wesley was exceptionally bright, and despite having lost his father in the service, dreams of joining Starfleet himself....

The Addams Family Timeline Explained MGM/YouTube By Joe Garza/Nov. 13, 2022 3:31 pm EST American television has had its share of wacky pop culture families, but surely one of the most unique is the Addams Family. While they may share many of the same qualities as a typical nuclear family (i.e. mother, father, a couple of kids, some pets, in-laws, etc.), the Addamses take the concept to absurd levels with their nonchalant dalliances with the gothic, the ghastly, and the supernatural....

The DCU Will Face Less Studio Interference Than The Snyderverse Did, According To James Gunn Warner Bros. By Ben F. Silverio/Dec. 20, 2022 10:08 pm EST To borrow a phrase from the current NXT Tag Team champions Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, at DC Studios under the guidance of James Gunn and Peter Safran, “it’s a new day, yes it is.” Ever since the duo was appointed as the co-chairs and co-CEOs of the company and were given the responsibilities of overseeing all DC film, television, and animation projects back in October 2022, they have been hard at work compiling a plan for the future to present to Warner Bros....

The Idea Behind The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Was Improvised On The Spot United Artists By Adam Wescott/Oct. 13, 2022 10:57 am EST When I saw “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” for the first time last year, I was taken aback by how it felt as if I had always known “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” Blondie’s forced march through the desert; Angel Eyes’s back as he walks through a house full of dead bodies; Tuco running through the cemetery looking for the right grave marker....

The Little Mermaid Footage Description: Halle Bailey Wants To Be Part Of Your World [D23] Disney Disney is showing off its upcoming line-up at D23 Expo today, and /Film was on the ground to catch the first footage of the upcoming live-action version of “The Little Mermaid.” While Disney’s live-action adaptations haven’t always been the best or most creative projects the studio has to offer (see, or don’t: the new “Pinocchio” that dropped this week), “The Little Mermaid” has several elements going for it that its predecessors don’t....

The Mist’s Pharmacy Scene Features A Geeky Star Wars Reference You Probably Didn’t Notice [Exclusive] Dimension Films By Marcos Melendez/Nov. 21, 2022 12:26 pm EST 15 years after its release, “The Mist” has aged like fine wine (if it was made of blood, of course). Despite some digital effects that don’t look great in 2022, it’s a straight-up good film that still lives in the back of the minds of the most horror-oriented folk....

What Is The Joker’s Real Name? DC Comics Finally Has An Answer DC Comics By Danielle Ryan/Sept. 9, 2022 5:40 pm EST The Crown Prince of Crime is one of the most mysterious characters in all of Gotham, with more secrets than even the enigmatic Riddler. The Joker’s real identity has always been a question mark, in part because he’s scarier if we don’t know what made him an evil megalomaniac....

What It’s Like Working With Weird Al, According To Daniel Radcliffe Roku By Ben F. Silverio/Sept. 13, 2022 2:48 pm EST Historical fiction can be a hard road to travel for filmmakers. Sometimes there can be a delicate balance between depicting people and events accurately while still presenting an entertaining story. And it can be especially difficult if the subject of the project is still living because it’s a crapshoot whether they’ll be receptive to their portrayal or not....

What’s Going On With Dark Side Of The Ring? Jason Eisener Clears It Up [Exclusive] Vice By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 23, 2022 2:29 pm EST If you’re a genre film fan and a lifelong wrestling fan, there’s a good chance you hold Jason Eisener in pretty high regard.

Why Keanu Reeves ‘Just Couldn’t Do’ The Sequel To Speed By Michael Boyle/Oct. 15, 2022 5:00 pm EST In terms of silly sequel ideas, 1997’s “Speed 2: Cruise Control” is the king of them. The original “Speed” was a beloved action thriller, but it was the sort of movie with a premise so specific it could only really be done once. After all, what are the odds that the same cop would find himself on yet another mass transportation vehicle he needed to stop from exploding?...

‘A universe where zombie fiction doesn’t exist’ AMC Featured as a guest on Conan, Robert Kirkman explained the absence of the word “zombie,” saying that he believed it would be better for the characters of “The Walking Dead” to learn how to deal with walkers through their own experiences: “Zombie lore is very popular, and we wanted to avoid that notion of ‘why isn’t that character just shooting that zombie in the head ‘cause they saw all those movies I saw?...

A Christmas Carol Gets A Gruesome Twist In SNL Sketch Starring Martin Short As Scrooge NBC By Walter Roberts/Dec. 11, 2022 12:41 pm EST At the rate that adaptations of “A Christmas Carol” are made, there will likely come a time in every aging Hollywood actor’s life when they’re called upon to play Ebenezer Scrooge, whether in film or on TV. As a live show with a season that spans Halloween, Christmas, and Easter — among other holidays — “Saturday Night Live” is just as willing as Hollywood to go back to the “A Christmas Carol” well....

Barbarian Early Buzz: ‘The WTF Movie Of The Year’ [Comic-Con] 20th Century Studios By Jeremy Mathai/July 23, 2022 11:30 am EST There are early movie screenings, and then there are early movie screenings at San Diego Comic-Con. There’s just something about the atmosphere of the nerd-friendly event that makes it all hit differently and, if you ask us, we simply wouldn’t have it any other way. The convention’s grand return after taking a pandemic-induced break features multiple special screenings: first up was director Dan Trachtenberg’s latest entry in the “Predator” franchise, simply (and evocatively!...

Daveed Diggs Almost Quit Hamilton After Hearing Leslie Odom Jr. Sing Disney+ By Shania Russell/Dec. 10, 2022 5:00 am EST After many years of hearing the “Hamilton” ensemble sing “I am not throwing away my shot,” Leslie Odom Jr. clearly took that mantra to heart. Since winning acclaim (and a Tony) for his role as Aaron Burr, the triple-threat performer has not slowed down. For 2020’s “One Night In Miami,” he earned two Oscar nods and has since starred in films like the “Sopranos” prequel “The Many Saints of Newark” and Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery....
