The Movie: “Dinner in America” Where You Can Stream It: Hulu The Pitch: Kyle Gallner has been a utility player in genre films for over 20 years, appearing in films like “The Haunting in Connecticut,” “Jennifer’s Body,” the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake, and Kevin Smith’s “Red State....

Kubrick was hoarding all of the equipment Warner Bros. The largest set, of course, ended up being the Colorado Lounge, in which Wendy (Shelley Duvall) would often find Jack typing away into oblivion. Stretching over 90 feet long, the set has pretty much filled Elstree to its full capacity. Crew hands had to be on deck at all times, which led to equipment for the London film industry becoming increasingly sparse (via “Stanley Kubrick: A Biography”):...

The Legendary Artist Whose Work Inspired Sinister’s Visual Style [Exclusive] Lionsgate By Valerie Ettenhofer/Oct. 12, 2022 11:30 am EST There’s a texture to the scares of “Sinister” that makes its imagery cling to my nightmares much longer than most other horror movies. Its like the movie’s Super 8 scares and freaky shot setups are dipped in something dark and inescapable that makes them stick, even a full decade after the film’s release....

The Scariest Scenes Of 2022 Paramount Pictures By Matt Donato/Dec. 16, 2022 2:30 pm EST As one half of /Film’s Scariest Scene Ever Boyz™ with Chris Evangelista, it’s my pleasure to present the scariest movie moments of 2022. Yes, they’re mostly horror films — but terrifying sequences can exist outside rigid horror boundaries. You might not be shocked to find “Smile” or “Barbarian” mentioned below, but what about the awards contender that starts things off?...

More animation getting the axe Crunchyroll Adult Swim’s co-founder, Jason DeMarco, confirmed the news on Twitter. “Sorry guys. This happened. You can still watch all of the anime on Crunchyroll and it will still be available as digital downloads.” Sadly, while the anime shows will live on, future seasons are a different matter. “It’s looking like no S2 of ‘Shenmue,’ even though sadly- it did well enough that we were gearing up for S2....

Another Cloverfield Movie Is In The Works At Paramount With Wounds Director Babak Anvari At The Helm Paramount Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/Sept. 23, 2022 12:36 pm EST Like just about everything else related to Warner Bros. Discovery, Bad Robot’s partnership with HBO Max and DC is very much on the fritz right now. Luckily, the company still has plenty of irons in other fires to fall back on elsewhere. With the future of the slow-moving “Star Trek 4” once again up in the air following Matt Shakman’s recent exit as director, it seems a different Bad Robot sci-fi project is roaring back to life over at Paramount Pictures....

Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania Trailer Breakdown: Growing (And Shrinking) As A Family Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/Oct. 24, 2022 6:00 pm EST With “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” on the horizon, Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is coming to a close.

Filming The Menu Was A ‘Hanxious’ Experience For Anya Taylor-Joy Searchlight Pictures By Drew Tinnin/Nov. 28, 2022 2:00 pm EST There’s nothing more annoying than going on a first date and having your dining partner for the night continually mock and belittle the things you are personally passionate about. It’s almost as if they flat-out refuse to try and connect with you from across the table, which is the very thing they supposedly agreed to attempt when they decided to go out with you in the first place....

Here’s The Marvel Character Ryan Gosling Would Like To Play Netflix By Sandy Schaefer/July 12, 2022 5:16 pm EST Can you believe it’s been four years since Ryan Gosling was last on-screen? Well, okay, you probably can. A whole lot’s happened in the real world since we last saw the former star of “The Mickey Mouse Club,” back when he was casually risking life and limb to get to the moon as Neil Armstrong in Damien Chazelle’s excellent “First Man....

Here’s Where Andor Actually Used Lucasfilm’s StageCraft Technology [Exclusive] Lucasfilm By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 9, 2022 2:00 pm EST One of the things that sets “Andor” apart from other streaming “Star Wars” shows is its extensive use of real locations and practical sets rather than CG backdrops. Whereas the three previous Disney+ shows, “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett,” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” all relied heavily on StageCraft technology to bring their environments to life, “Andor” has opted to forego wrap-around video walls and soundstages and take a more traditional shooting route....

How Do The Recast House Of The Dragon Actors Fit Into The Show? HBO By Jamie Gerber/Sept. 27, 2022 10:00 am EST Time jumps in television shows can be difficult to navigate, especially when recasting actors. In the case of “House of the Dragon,” Milly Alcock and Emily Carey both gave fantastic performances as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower respectively, so saying goodbye to these two actors hasn’t been easy for viewers....

How The Mist’s Most Terrifying Scene Came Together [Exclusive] Dimension Films By Debopriyaa Dutta/Nov. 21, 2022 10:33 am EST Frank Darabont’s “The Mist,” an adaptation of the Stephen King novella of the same name, sported atmospheric terror, tentacled monsters surrounding a supermarket, and an unconventional, gut-wrenching ending. Most of the film is set inside a boxed-in space where tensions rise as the horror escalates, as the residents of Bridgton have nowhere to run....

Keegan-Michael Key’s Toad Has An Improvised Song In The Upcoming Mario Movie Illumination/Nintendo By Sandy Schaefer/Oct. 14, 2022 11:20 am EST Jordan Peele has quickly come into his own since his “Key & Peele” days, emerging as one of the most interesting names in horror. In some ways, something similar could be said of the co-creator and costar of Peele’s revered sketch comedy series, Keegan-Michael Key. Over the years since “Key & Peele” aired its last episode in September 2015, Key has settled into his groove as a versatile voice actor, lending his vocals to films like “Toy Story 4” and the “Hotel Transylvania” movies, as well as shows both animated (“Archer,” “Green Eggs and Ham”) and live-action (“The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance”)....

Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Channels The Best Episodes Of LOST Prime Video By Rafael Motamayor/Sept. 16, 2022 6:00 pm EST Tolkien’s legendarium has always been mythology in the vein of the Norse sagas or Arthurian legend, dealing with big characters, big locations, big stories and big ideas. So far, “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is staying true to that idea, dealing with a world that has just gone through an apocalypse, and is slowly realizing it is heading into another one....

Marvel Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/Oct. 7, 2022 11:30 am EST Once Marvel blew the doors off of the cinematic universe game, everyone in the industry wanted a piece of the action. Whether you love or hate what Marvel’s success has done to the state of moviegoing as a whole, there’s no denying that Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige is one of the industry’s top dogs. Even though a company like Warner Bros....

One Of John Mayer’s Songs Is Being Adapted Into A ‘Major Motion Picture’ Warner Bros. By Ben Pearson/Aug. 22, 2022 2:49 pm EST One of John Mayer’s songs will serve as the basis for a “major” new movie. During a concert last night, the seven-time Grammy Award winner announced that “Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967,” a song from his 2012 album “Born & Raised,” is being adapted into a film....

One Sentence Was At The Core Of Amy Brenneman’s Heat Character Warner Bros. By Mike Shutt/July 6, 2022 2:57 pm EST While Michael Mann is one of the most exhilarating filmmakers of the last 40 years, he does have a pretty undeniable weakness in his body of work: He isn’t terribly great at creating female characters. What disguises this a little is he casts his women extremely well, from Madeleine Stowe in “The Last of the Mohicans” to Viola Davis in “Blackhat,” but you would be fighting an uphill battle to claim any of these women are fully fleshed out human beings....

‘They’re feeling loneliness amongst this oppressive mundanity’ Magnolia Pictures My brother who still lives in Northern Virginia wanted me to tell you that the biggest dispensary in the state is now in Sterling. Patton Oswalt: No shi– well, Sterling turned into Houston these last few years. Everything’s out there now, it’s so huge. Sterling is not the little country town I grew up in, it’s a metropolis now. They waited until you left to thrive....

Robin Williams’ ‘Triptych Of Evil’ Showed Just How Dark The Actor Could Go Warner Bros. Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/Sept. 13, 2022 8:30 am EST “Good Will Hunting” marked a turning point in Robin Williams’ acting career. Besides snagging him his first and only Oscar win, it was perhaps the first time Williams had completely shed his energetic comedic persona on-screen. Indeed, there’s nary a moment in director Gus Van Sant’s 1997 drama where the actor bursts into some hyper-active form of pantomime....

Seth MacFarlane Gives Details About The Ted Prequel Series Coming To Peacock (And Yes, There Will Be F-Bombs) Universal Pictures By Valerie Ettenhofer/July 5, 2022 7:57 pm EST Remember “Ted”? The dirty teddy bear comedy from “Family Guy” creator Seth McFarlane isn’t necessarily on the tip of everyone’s tongue these days, but it was a surprise hit upon its release in 2012. The movie grossed over $500 million worldwide, generating a sequel and now, a decade later, a prequel series....
