The upcoming killer AI doll movie from horror juggernauts Blumhouse Productions and James Wan’s Atomic Monster Productions doesn’t hit theaters until 2023, but horror fans across the globe can’t get enough of her. “M3GAN,” short for Model-3 Generative Android, is a life-like doll programmed to be “a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally....

‘We’re going to see Poppy and Ian’s problems come to a head’ Apple TV+ I wanted to say congrats on “Mere Mortals.” That’s very exciting news. Thank you. But I mostly wanted to talk about this week’s episode of “Mythic Quest,” “Sarian.” I think it was really beautiful and I was just wondering, first off, if you could just tell me a little bit about how it all came together....

New Fear Street Movie Coming From Watcher Director Chloe Okuno Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 16, 2022 11:54 am EST After Netflix’s “Fear Street” trilogy came and went last year to all sorts of critical and audience acclaim, the streaming giant has made the objectively correct choice to let the scary times keep rolling. Not content to leave the impressively well-realized story (as explained in detail by /Film’s Joshua Meyer in his spoiler review) at just three movies, it appears that the next film in this fun new franchise is about to get a big boost in talent behind the camera....

Steven Spielberg Wasn’t Going To Let Budget Limit The Scope Of Jurassic Park Universal Pictures/YouTube By Matthew Bilodeau/Aug. 5, 2022 10:31 am EST It’s difficult to underestimate just how deeply Steven Spielberg changed the game. The summer blockbuster maestro is responsible for bringing us some of the most iconic visuals the form has ever produced. I certainly can’t forget the first time I saw E.T. come to life, or Bruce popping his head out of the water (“Jaws”)....

The 15 Best Teen Horror Movies Of All Time, Ranked Dimension Films By Bee Delores/Oct. 18, 2022 4:41 pm EST Teen horror typically explores issues only teens can relate to. Whether that’s high school bullies, sex, or drugs, teen-centric films specialize in coming-of-age in the modern world. Along with these themes, filmmakers slather on all the genre conventions, tropes, and murderous thrills we’ve come to expect. From sci-fi and black comedies to witches and straight-up slashers, teen horror runs the gamut and is often unhindered by genre boundaries....

The Penguin Series Will Take Place One Week After The Events Of The Batman Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/Oct. 13, 2022 10:05 pm EST Colin Farrell has been doing some of the most interesting work of his career in the last few years, with his roles in “The Batman” and “The North Water” showing off his transformational ability and “The Banshees of Inisherin” reuniting him with “In Bruges” writer-director Martin McDonagh for a film that is already gaining Oscar buzz....

Which Fan-Favorite Character Will Return For Titans Season 4? HBO Max By Marcos Melendez/Nov. 29, 2022 2:58 pm EST After three tumultuous outings, DC’s “Titans” train continues to chug along in full force. Self-proclaimed as a new beginning for the series, the fourth season moves towards a more consistent future as a superhero show and quasi-family drama. As per usual, a new location and set of villains threaten to uproot the titular superhero team....

‘No burning ambition’ Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Gardner’s striking appearance convinced MGM studio chief Louis B. Mayer to sign her up for a seven-year contract despite a failed screen test. With her thick North Carolinian drawl and general lack of refinement, MGM put her through the ringer to sculpt an actress worthy of the big screen. They trained that distinctive accent out of her, taught her how to move, dance, and pose, the whole nine yards....

Why Xenomorphs Are Obsessed With Killing Humans By Witney Seibold/Oct. 14, 2022 8:33 pm EST In Ridley Scott’s 1979 film “Alien,” the sinister android Ash (Ian Holm) describes the killer creature loose aboard his spaceship as “the perfect organism,” admitting that its “structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.” He also says that he admires its purity. The alien is “a survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality....

Will Top Gun: Maverick Ever Get A Sequel? Paramount By Mike Shutt/Aug. 24, 2022 11:36 am EST I think it is safe to say that, as of when this is being written, “Top Gun: Maverick” is the film of 2022. Now, you may not consider it the best film of the year, but in terms of impact on the world at large, nothing beats it. Its status as a box office juggernaut has been firmly established, having grossed an astounding $1....

Will We See More Of Walt And Jesse On Better Call Saul? AMC By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 3, 2022 10:17 am EST Yo, Mr. White! After weeks of trumpeting the grand returns of meth cook extraordinaire Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and his partner in crime Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), the latest episode of “Better Call Saul” finally made good on those promises and delivered one of the show’s best and most entertaining “Breaking Bad” cameos....

12 Best Performances In Steven Spielberg Movies Universal By Jeremy Smith/July 18, 2022 10:30 am EST Steven Spielberg is renowned first and foremost for his uncanny skill as a visual storyteller. In this regard, he belongs in the cinematic firmament alongside John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, and not many others. But we rarely talk about Spielberg’s facility as a director of actors, which is bizarre given that he’s made some of the greatest, most widely viewed movies in the history of the medium....

Sam Bailey Marvel Comics Sam Bailey has been killing it for a while now, and the co-creator of the Emmy-nominated web series “Brown Girls” is already in Marvel’s wheelhouse. Having directed episodes of shows like “The Chi,” “Grown-ish,” and “Dear White People,” Bailey was brought on to direct multiple episodes of the upcoming Marvel series “Ironheart.” She’s currently working on her feature directorial debut “Raina’s Not Here,” which is based on her 2019 short film of the same name....

A Legally Dubious Halloween Costume Inspired Tobe Hooper’s Leatherface Design Bryanston Distributing Company By Witney Seibold/Oct. 17, 2022 5:06 pm EST Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” is 83 minutes of greasy, fetid, meat-scented pain and misery. This is a high compliment. It’s a film that looks like it was made by the cannibals that star in it, focusing on the torture and pain of its doomed protagonists with the sickly enthused eye of an abattoir employee who loves their job just a little bit too much....

Al Pacino Had A Tough Time Coping With The Fame He Achieved Via The Godfather Paramount By Joe Roberts/Dec. 8, 2022 2:56 pm EST Al Pacino is such a legendary name in Hollywood, you’d never guess that at one point he was somewhat of a recluse. In the ’80s, the actor receded from the spotlight as much as he could, forcing one producer to file suit against him, claiming he dropped out of “Carlito’s Way” after promising to star....

Ferrix funeral rites Lucasfilm Episode 11 derives its title, “Daughter of Ferrix,” from the untimely passing of Andor’s adopted mother figure, Maarva (Fiona Shaw), and the emotional impact this will have on Cassian in next week’s finale. One new insight into the traditional funeral customs on Ferrix, however, draws a direct thematic connection to Cassian’s death in “Rogue One” (even more than the noticeable beach parallels) and lends an even deeper sense of tragedy to Cassian’s ultimate end....

Andor Episode 5 Explains Why Rebel Tech Is So Unique (And So Janky-Looking) Disney+ By Marcos Melendez/Oct. 5, 2022 3:22 pm EST Spoilers ahead for the fifth episode of “Andor.” A prequel to “Rogue One,” “Andor” has quickly established itself as one of the more grounded (and consistently great) offerings from the “Star Wars” universe on Disney+. From its on-screen talent to the tight, no-nonsense writing, the series separates itself by leaning into the darker aspects of the Empire’s reign and the fight against it....
