A disastrous production Warner Bros. Pictures In an interview with The Guardian, George Miller spoke about how disastrous he felt the film’s production was. Miller’s lack of faith in himself as a filmmaker at the time led to him re-thinking almost every aspect of the production and constantly having regrets about how he went about making it: “The film was a complete disaster to me in terms of what I wanted to do....
How Jordan Peele’s Brand Of Horror Bled Into 2022’s Scream Paramount Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/Sept. 2, 2022 6:26 pm EST Every time the “Scream” movies have resurfaced after an extensive break, like a Ghostface mask-wearing killer in Woodsboro, they have found themselves in a vastly changed horror landscape. When “Scream 4” bowed in 2011 (11 years after “Scream 3”), it was arriving on the heels of a decade of horror franchise reboots, slasher/splatter films (aka “torture porn”), and J-horror remakes....
An inconvenient trial Orion Pictures The story of the helicopter accident on the set of “Twilight Zone: The Movie” is extremely tragic. During filming, special effects explosions knocked a low-flying helicopter out of control, causing it to crash and kill actor Vic Morrow as well as two child actors, Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. Some believed this horrific accident was in part made possible by negligence on the part of Landis, who reportedly was shouting for the helicopter to continue flying lower until moments before the terrible crash....
How Wes Craven Accidentally Fell Into A Career Of Making Horror Films New Line Cinema By Witney Seibold/Oct. 13, 2022 4:20 pm EST Director Wes Craven (1939 – 2015) changed the face of horror three decades in a row. In 1972, he pushed the genre toward a bleaker, harder-edged tone with “The Last House on the Left,” a grindhouse remake of Ingmar Bergman’s 1960 film “The Virgin Spring.” In 1984, he introduced the indelible pop figure Freddy Krueger into the gestalt with “A Nightmare on Elm Street....
Jonás Cuarón Will Direct Marvel’s El Muerto, Starring Bad Bunny Sony Pictures Releasing By Valerie Ettenhofer/Oct. 4, 2022 3:14 pm EST A superpowered Latino character is about to lead a Marvel film for the first time ever, and it’ll be none other than the ultra-strong wrestler El Muerto. Sony Pictures is working on an El Muerto movie starring Grammy-winning rapper Bad Bunny, recently seen in “Bullet Train,” and The Wrap reports that the film has found its director....
Kazuki Takahashi, Creator Of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dies At 60 4Kids Entertainment By Rafael Motamayor/July 7, 2022 10:31 am EST The world of anime and manga has just gotten a little smaller, as manga author and artist Kazuki Takahashi has died. The New York Times and other outlets report that the creator of the beloved “Yu-Gi-Oh!” franchise was found dead off the coast of Nago in the Okinawa Prefecture, where Takahashi was traveling alone....
As complicated as she was comedic Warner Bros. Kirstie Alley’s memory is two-fold: as both a celebrated figure in comedy and a peddler of dangerous political conspiracies. She is the ultimate personification of needing to hold multiple truths at the same time, understanding her brilliant contributions to women characters in sitcoms while simultaneously not allowing her groundbreaking efforts to excuse her unacceptable treatment of others. Her performances in films like “Drop Dead Gorgeous” and “It Takes Two” are seminal for a generation of millennials, with many still using her character Diane Barrows’ analogy of “can’t-eat, can’t-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, World Series kind of stuff,” to describe the sensation of falling in love....
Leonor Will Never Die Review: Sheila Francisco Will Be Your New Favorite Action Star [TIFF] Music Box Films By Erin Brady/Sept. 18, 2022 2:15 am EST When you think of action stars, what names come to mind? Arnold Schwarzenegger? Jean-Claude Van Damme? Casper Van Dien? These are all great examples, but there’s one up-and-coming star that might outshine them all, and her name is Sheila Francisco. While that might not be a name many Americans will recognize, genre fanatics will certainly get to know the Filipino singer after “Leonor Will Never Die,” which was programmed at the Toronto International Film Festival under its Midnight Madness banner....
The many Jasons Paramount Jason Voorhees has been played by at least eight different actors over the course of 12 movies in the “Friday the 13th” franchise, and that’s not including stuntmen. Kane Hodder is typically most closely associated with the role, as he portrayed Jason in “Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood” all the way through “Jason X.” Ari Lehman played Jason in “Friday the 13th,” Warrington Gillette played the killer in “Friday the 13th Part 2,” Richard Brooker put on the mask in “Part 3 3-D,” Ted White sliced and diced in “The Final Chapter,” C....
A dream shoe collection Disney+ As you can see in the image above, Pug’s collection includes sneakers based on heroes and villains that we have yet to meet in the MCU, like The Thing and Deadpool, alongside a few familiar costumes. While we’ve seen more sleek and updated versions of superhero looks throughout the MCU, these shoes go old school and stick to classic costumes from the comics, like Hawkeye’s pink and purple outfit....
Starfleet knows best Paramount Though Mariner is the daughter of two Starfleet officers and is an ensign herself, she’s also distrustful of any and all authority. It’s hard to blame her for not trusting Starfleet, especially when they arrested her mother on charges that she knows aren’t accurate. Here’s the thing about Starfleet, though: they’re usually extremely good at their jobs. You don’t survive for very long in Starfleet without being the best of the best, because Starfleet faces off against every imaginable kind of threat in the galaxy....
Star Trek’s Kate Mulgrew Is Open To Exploring A Live-Action Future For Captain Janeway Paramount By Witney Seibold/Oct. 5, 2022 4:43 pm EST September 8 has been designated — by the people who designate such things — as Star Trek Day. The date is the anniversary of the first airing of “Star Trek” in the United States in 1966. In recent years, Trek’s parent company Paramount, has turned Star Trek Day into a straight-up Trek convention-cum-marketing bonanza....
Stranger Things Season 2 Almost Had A Darker Ending Between Eleven And Her Mom Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/Oct. 10, 2022 6:21 pm EST I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched something wacky or frustrating unfold in “Stranger Things” and asked myself, “Why?” Over the past six years, the writers’ room for the massively popular Netflix series has made decisions that are alternately exhilarating, awesome, and unfathomable. The show has soaring high points, but also some repetitive bits, and a few truly head-scratching narrative decisions (see: Will Byers, seasons 3 and 4)....

The Witches Warner Bros. Nicolas Roeg directed a heck of a disturbing horror-thriller in 1973’s “Don’t Look Now,” so he was an inspired choice by producer Jim Henson, who selected him to direct “The Witches,” an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s dark fantasy children’s novel of the same name. “The Witches” follows an orphaned young boy named Luke (Jasen Fisher), whose grandmother, Helga (Mai Zetterling), warns him about the dangers of witches....
The Sandman Composer David Buckley Breaks Down Highlights From Season 1 [Spoiler Interview] Netflix By Jack Giroux/Aug. 16, 2022 6:17 pm EST David Buckley didn’t want a traditional score for “The Sandman.” It’s an unconventional fantasy series about dreams, so why stay grounded to reality? Buckley wanted to create music that was beautiful, lush, and often strange and indescribable. Most of all, he wanted to respect the audience. He didn’t need to always shout at them with music to be excited, to be afraid, or to be wowed....
They/Them Star Kevin Bacon Is Happy To Run For His Life In Horror Movies [Interview] Universal By Jack Giroux/Aug. 4, 2022 3:38 pm EST We can all agree that Kevin Bacon is a likable actor. Whether he’s playing good, evil, or somewhere in the gray, Bacon has always been a performer we like to watch. Without question, the actor’s latest character, Owen Whistler, the head of a gay conversion camp in the Peacock horror movie “They/Them,” is detestable, reprehensible, and basically a never-ending list of negative adjectives....
Voice Actor Colleen Clinkenbeard On Voicing One Piece’s Monkey D. Luffy For 15 Years [Exclusive Interview] Toei Animation/Crunchyroll By Caroline Cao/Nov. 2, 2022 2:05 pm EST For 15 years, voice actor Colleen Clinkenbeard has shouted the catchphrase “Gum Gum!” as anime hero Monkey D. Luffy threw his stretchy punches. Sprung from Eiichiro Oda’s enduring shōnen manga, the “One Piece” anime is still sailing after more than 20 rollicking seasons that add up to over a thousand episodes (plus several feature films)....
What Better Call Saul Showrunner Peter Gould Imagines Happening After The Finale AMC By Rafael Motamayor/Aug. 17, 2022 10:50 am EST That’s all, folks. After years of speculating about what would happen to the man we once knew as Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman, theorizing about whether he’d die by cops like Walter or ride off into the horizon like Jesse; after being shocked by Kim’s fate being far simpler yet more complex than anyone could have imagined, the “Better Call Saul” finale managed to pull yet another magic trick....
Why Rick And Morty Creator Justin Roiland Likes Mocking Their Own Jokes Within The Show Itself Adult Swim By Danielle Ryan/Aug. 22, 2022 2:48 pm EST A little bit of meta-humor and self-awareness can go a long way, and the adult animated series “Rick and Morty” has practically perfected the art. After all, the series frequently hops dimensions and metaverse timelines, so a little fourth-wall breaking isn’t exactly going to damage the series’ version of reality....
