Breaking Trailer: A Heartbreaking Tale Based On A True Veteran Story Bleecker Street By Jenna Busch/July 20, 2022 5:20 pm EST In the new film “Breaking” (formerly named “892”), John Boyega plays a Marine veteran named Brian Brown-Easley who has been denied disability support from Veterans Affairs. He chooses to enter the Wells Fargo bank in Atlanta with a note saying that he has a bomb. Though he lets most of the customers go from the location, he keeps a manager and a teller (Nicole Beharie and Selenis Leyva) as hostages....

Chucky Season 2 Trailer: The Good Guy Doll Takes His Killer Instincts To Church SyFy By Shania Russell/Sept. 14, 2022 1:54 pm EST A new “Chucky” season 2 trailer just dropped, revealing more evil antics from the Good Guy doll who has now haunted multiple generations of innocent kids thanks to several movies and the series from SyFy and USA. At some point, the people of this fictional universe should really band together to burn all of these dolls because the body count is getting ridiculous....

What we think the Clue animated series will be about Paramount Pictures There is very little info on the story for the “Clue” series, according to Deadline, though one can make some assumptions. We know there will be at least one murder, and likely a group of detectives (and/or suspects) who have to solve it. It’s animated, though, so who knows how brutal the murder(s) will be? You know, murders with weapons like a candlestick, a revolver, a lead pipe, etc....

No heaven, no hell Viz Media In a rare interview with Ohba, whose real identity remains unknown, the manga-ka said ending the manga with Light dying was always part of the plan. Apart from this, the most important part of “Death Note” that he did not want to change on any account was the notion of “nothingness” after death in the story. Ohba said: “One thing that I didn’t allow to be changed was the notion that ‘when you die, you become nothingness....

Genndy Tartakovsky’s Next Movie Will Be Disney Meets Looney Tunes (But Definitely Not For Kids) Cartoon Network Studios By Mike Shutt/July 21, 2022 5:36 pm EST One of the most respected and admired figures within the animation world for the last 30 years has been Genndy Tartakovsky. Throughout the years, he created “Dexter’s Laboratory,” “Samurai Jack,” and most recently “Primal,” as well as being a key creative force behind “The Powerpuff Girls” and “Star Wars: Clone Wars....

How The Most Controversial Scene In Lower Decks Fits Into The World Of Star Trek Paramount By Danielle Ryan/Oct. 4, 2022 3:39 pm EST It’s not always easy to balance the kind of raunchy humor beloved by adult animation fans with the world of “Star Trek,” but showrunner Mike McMahan and the rest of the “Star Trek: Lower Decks” gang sure give it their best shot. One sequence was a little too much for some hardcore Trekkies — er, Trekkers — and it involved a whole lot of sex....

A superhero genre mash-up IDW Aside from the details of the plot, the book is being described as part superhero thriller, sort of on the grittier side of things like “The Boys,” by way of a medical drama, sort of like “Nurse Jackie.” So with a little more edge than something like “Grey’s Anatomy.” As someone who has read the first issue, I can confirm that description is accurate. One thing I can say for sure is that those who enjoy superheroes via movies and TV shows but haven’t dug into the comics may have a tough time making that leap....

Jeff Bridges Made A Mental Adjustment To Keep Himself Sane On The Iron Man Set Marvel Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/July 24, 2022 12:00 am EST When you think of where Marvel Studios is today, “Iron Man” seems so quaint. Sure, it fulfills the established prerequisites of superhero movies at the time, but for the most part, the Marvel machine we’re so used to today of setting up crossovers or a Disney+ show is minimized in favor of making a great movie in and of itself....

Less Was More When It Came To The Music In The Bob’s Burgers Movie 20th Century Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/Sept. 7, 2022 2:18 pm EST “The Simpsons Movie” may have made the joke about paying to see something you get on television for free, but there’s a certain thrill that comes with seeing one of your favorite shows make the transfer to the big screen. I may have hopped aboard almost a decade into its run, but I adore “Bob’s Burgers” and all of the delightfully weird characters of Seymour’s Bay....

POTD: Vanity Fair’s 2014 Hollywood Issue Cover Jaguar PS/Shutterstock It may not be a tradition as entrenched as the Golden Globes drunkenness or office Oscar pools, but for the past twenty years the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue has been a fun fixture of awards season. The magazine gathers up the brightest stars of the year, pretties them up and poses them just so, and snaps a photo that simultaneously celebrates the year that was and looks ahead at the years to come....

Who cares about real history when you have Bheem and Ram? DVV Entertainment While it’s true that historical movies aren’t usually surprising, that all changed with Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” and the scene where Hitler is killed in a movie theater. Sure, that may not have been the first revisionist historical film, as many films had already shown historical events changed, from “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” to “Forrest Gump,” but Tarantino’s big, mainstream movie is more recent and therefore fresher in the mind, and it completely rewrites the history of its fictional world, for the better....

‘Who are you?’ Apple TV+ After watching a welcome video from everyone’s favorite manager Milchik (Tramell Tillman), you and a handful of other new Lumon employees enter the green-carpeted conference room virtually identical to the one Helly (Britt Lower) finds herself in in the first episode. The recreation is amazing — you really feel like you’ve entered the show’s very specific aesthetic, and there’s even the old school speaker who goes through the same preamble that Mark does when he introduces Helly to the hell that will be her entire life....

Wisdom in going your own way HBO That might be a red flag for a lot of folks, but it sounds like wisdom to me. When creators get too caught up in trying to guess what their audience wants out of fear of the most vocal Negative Nancys out there, you end up with “The Rise of Skywalker.” Yes, it’s always smart to have a feel for what audiences respond to, but at the end of the day, it’s the writers’ and showrunners’ job to give the audience something that keeps them engaged, and that usually means you gotta surprise them a little....

The 10 Best Fight Scenes In Lord Of The Rings, Ranked New Line Cinema By Eric Pierce/Dec. 10, 2022 5:10 pm EST Peter Jackson’s adaption of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy story “The Lord of the Rings” is rightfully considered one of the greatest film trilogies of all time. The story is epic in its depiction of the broad sweep of history and the movements of great armies, but at its core, it is about friendship and courage, and how even the smallest person can change the course of history....

The Early 2000s Remake Boom Was A Low Point For The Horror Genre (With A Few Notable Exceptions) Warner Bros. By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 25, 2022 3:00 pm EST Remakes are as old as the movies themselves, and despite a certain stigma, there’s nothing wrong with a remake. In fact, on several notable occasions, remakes can be just as good — if not better — than their forbearers. Horror remakes, in particular, can yield great results — David Cronenberg’s remake of “The Fly” and John Carpenter’s remake of “The Thing” are both considered some of the best horror movies of all time....

The James Bond Team Was Under Pressure To Nail Spectre’s Opening Scene Eon Productions By Joshua Meyer/Aug. 5, 2022 9:52 am EST Say what you will about “Spectre” for its attempt to retcon the three previous James Bond movies with a new master villain, but it could have been worse, and it still has one of the coolest opening scenes of any 007 film. For his second Bond adventure with Daniel Craig after “Skyfall,” director Sam Mendes continued chasing Christopher Nolan by bringing in “Interstellar” cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who had some big shoes to fill....

The Munsters Actor Doesn’t Understand Complaints About The Rob Zombie Movie Looking Cheap [Exclusive] Universal 1440 Entertainment By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 27, 2022 11:30 am EST Daniel Roebuck has come a long way from his days playing a private investigator on “Matlock,” where he acted opposite ’60s sitcom legend Andy Griffith. In Rob Zombie’s “The Munsters,” Roebuck has donned vampire makeup to play another character from a ’60s sitcom: namely, The Count, also known within the franchise as Count Sam Dracula or just “Grandpa....

The Original Ending Of It Was Never Going To Make It To The Big Screen Warner Bros. By Eric Vespe/Sept. 1, 2022 10:14 am EST Any time a filmmaker tackles an adaptation they will, inevitably, have to leave some stuff behind. Whether we’re talking about a novel, comic book, video game, stage play or TV show, there’s just going to be some stuff that works in the original format that won’t translate into a movie....

Tilda Swinton Is No Longer Attached To Adam McKay’s Parasite Series Netflix By Erin Brady/Oct. 18, 2022 3:24 pm EST Depending on your point of view, you are either going to love or hate this news. It’s been a while since we have heard anything about the “Parasite” television adaptation being cooked up at HBO, but there was speculation over who was going to be attached. However, it looks like one of those potential stars won’t be a part of it after all, and that star is Tilda Swinton....

‘An annoying, odd little girl’ Walt Disney Pictures Tim Burton is no stranger to adaptations and re-imaginings. He’s taken on Batman, Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and more. However, when it came to tackling the story of “Alice in Wonderland,” things started off on oddly given his hatred of the titular character. As he explained to The Guardian, he’s never been fond of how the character has been depicted in television and film....
