Why Domhnall Gleeson Thinks The Patient’s Sam Fortner Is ‘Relatable’ Hulu By Erin Brady/Aug. 25, 2022 4:27 pm EST Okay, I know what you are thinking. Isn’t “The Patient” about someone who kidnaps their therapist? Why yes, it is, which is why it might seem strange that actor Domhnall Gleeson — who plays the titular patient, Sam — describes his character as “relatable.” However, let’s hear him out before jumping to conclusions....
A Man In Full: Everything We Know So Far About David E. Kelley And Regina King’s Netflix Series Eugene Powers/Shutterstock By Shania Russell/Aug. 2, 2022 5:32 pm EST If prestige TV has taught us anything, it’s that rich people problems are all the rage. Coming off of multiple TV series that prove this point, David E. Kelley (“Big Little Lies,” “Anatomy of a Scandal”) is heading back to Netflix with an adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s 1998 novel, “A Man In Full....
Backstage issues Warner Bros. While the Bill Murray situation is certainly indicative of a surprising lack of communication between Oz and Geffen, it would ultimately not be a huge issue, with the two settling their differences rather quickly. The situation was likely helped by the fact that Bill Murray was the one cast behind Oz’s back, as he put in a characteristically hilarious performance in his small amount of screen time in the film....

E.T.’s Oscar-Winning Costume Designer Reflects On That Halloween Scene And Creating A Timeless Classic [Exclusive Interview] Universal By Bill Bria/Oct. 19, 2022 2:04 pm EST For a director whose body of work contains some of the most instantly recognizable images in all of cinema, Steven Spielberg’s 1982 masterpiece “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” is arguably his most visually rich movie. The mixture of cinematographer Allen Daviau’s expressive color palette and the cast’s open-hearted faith in a creature that was ultimately a hunk of wires and rubber helped make the film a slice of pure movie magic....
Take me to church (and away from here) Universal Pictures “Easter Sunday” might have been another drop in the destined-for-the-bargain-bin bucket if it weren’t for the way it so proudly flaunts its Filipino culture. Much lip service is paid to Joe’s childhood raised by an immigrant mom as well as various quirks of the Fil-Am community — rice cooker jokes, parental pressure jokes, clumsy metaphors involving the Filipino dessert drink Halo-Halo....
Empire Of Light Director Sam Mendes Explains How The Pandemic Helped Inspire The Film Searchlight Pictures By Jenna Busch/Dec. 8, 2022 9:18 pm EST The new film “Empire of Light” by Sam Mendes (“Skyfall,” “1917”) is a love letter to the cinema. Many of us who live for movies remember the first time we were entranced by the projector’s light and the theater’s darkness, transporting us to another world along with a sea of strangers....
Ethan Hawke Gave ‘The Greatest Screen Test’ Of His Life For Moulin Rouge Warner Bros. Pictures By Ryan Scott/Sept. 16, 2022 12:21 pm EST 2001’s “Moulin Rouge” was one of those movies that just took over a section of pop culture in the moment.

House Of The Dragon’s Writers Have An Idea Of Where (And When) The Series Will End HBO By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Sept. 14, 2022 9:16 am EST “House of the Dragon” has already proven itself better than “Game of Thrones” in many ways: the show’s cutting-edge visuals and understanding of the source material are striking, and so far, it’s an intriguing lesson in character study and fantasy warfare. It’s also profoundly controversial — an adaptation of George R....
How The Captain Of Star Trek: Lower Decks Would’ve Handled Voyager’s Infamous Tuvix Situation [Exclusive] Paramount By Witney Seibold/Oct. 20, 2022 3:00 pm EST As a California native, it will never cease to tickle me that many of the featured starships on “Star Trek: Lower Decks” are named after inauspicious and rinky-dink towns in my home state. The ships are all California class, and the central ship is called the U....
How The Night Of The Hunter Used Forced Perspective To Its Advantage United Artists By Anya Stanley/Dec. 9, 2022 3:15 pm EST There are fewer joys in filmmaking than successfully pulling off an ambitious movie trick. For example, in his sci-fi classic “The Thing,” director John Carpenter hired a double-amputee actor to stand in during the famous defibrillation scene, convincing viewers that Richard Dysart’s character had his arms bitten off. The CGI-averse Christopher Nolan similarly orchestrated the zero-gravity hallway fight in “Inception” via massive centrifuge-style rotating sets, earning the film a Best Visual Effects Oscar....
Integrating real-life experiences into his character Warner Bros. While the job of being an actor is playing the character they are cast as, drawing from experience can be valuable, as seen in Pesci’s preparation for his role in “Goodfellas.” In an interview with Empire, he talked about those experiences and how they shaped his performance, “I’ve been in tough places… Nothing I can talk about, but I’ve seen terrible, terrible fights....
Justin Long Doesn’t Mind Being The Guy Who Always Dies 20th Century Studios By Matt Rainis/Nov. 26, 2022 7:00 am EST In the world of fiction, every character serves a purpose. For some unlucky characters, their only purpose in the narrative is to die. These characters are sometimes known as “Redshirts,” a term coined by “Star Trek” fans used to refer to the unfortunate ensigns who’d be sent along on a mission with the main cast members, their inevitable death just a plot device to raise the stakes of the episode....

Marvel Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/Oct. 14, 2022 10:56 am EST Giacchino deserves credit for the black-and-white aesthetic, but the decision to release as such ultimately landed in the hands of Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige. Feige ultimately landed on the black and white presentation “We came at it with the attitude that, nope, it’s going to be in black and white, even if we don’t know if it is or not, we’re thinking it’s going to be....
Matthew Vaughn Didn’t Want Stardust To Fall Prey To Sequel Syndrome Paramount Pictures By Sarah Musnicky/Sept. 24, 2022 6:00 pm EST The film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “Stardust” was entertaining but, despite what some would consider a decent fantasy film, it didn’t make enough money to warrant a sequel. Considering the amount of things altered from book to screen, a sequel would have given plenty of room for exploration of things we missed and the like....
Mel Gibson’s Approach To Mad Max Could Be Summed Up In Just One Sentence Warner Bros. Pictures By Ernesto Valenzuela/Oct. 23, 2022 6:00 pm EST If there is one aspect of Max Rockatansky from the “Mad Max” films that could be considered the most intriguing, it’s the timelessness of the character.

Meet Terry Notary Warner Bros. In a 2001 profile from college newspaper the UCLA Newsroom, Terry Notary described his past, which had already racked up impressive credits.
