While Nandor (Kayvan Novak) and lovers Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) are the standard bloodthirsty variety, Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) is a rare energy vampire....
Hugh Jackman Didn’t Mind Being ‘Put Through The Wringer’ For His X-Men Movie Debut By Matt Rainis/Oct. 13, 2022 10:46 am EST Despite being best known for his role as the surly mutant Wolverine, Hugh Jackman actually has a reputation for being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. Nobody has a bad word to say about the star of such films as “The Prestige” and “Les Misérables,” making the fact that his most famous role is as the grumpiest X-Man a little ironic....
Michelle Yeoh Cast As Madame Morrible In The Wicked Movies A24 By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 8, 2022 2:06 pm EST Something wicked this way comes … and by that, I’m of course referring to an exciting addition to the feature film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. Michelle Yeoh has been enjoying a long-overdue and incredibly deserved resurgence of late, beginning with her performance in 2018’s “Crazy Rich Asians” and continuing with a scenery-chomping villainous turn in “Star Trek: Discovery,” a visit to the world of superheroes in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” and most recently with her extraordinary lead role in “Everything Everywhere All At Once....

Family court AMC Within seconds, it was clear what Chuck represented in “Better Call Saul”: a straight arrow, a stern, cold man who prided himself on being the unwavering moral warrior and defender of the judiciary system, one who could never be okay with Jimmy’s legal slips. The conflict between the two, with Chuck always disapproving of his brother and Jimmy taking shortcuts and bending the rules to his advantage, drove the first half of the show....
Original Hellraiser Star Doug Bradley Weighs In On Jamie Clayton’s Pinhead Casting New World Pictures By Witney Seibold/Aug. 29, 2022 1:41 pm EST David Brucker’s new film “Hellraiser,” based on Clive Barker’s 1986 novella “The Hellbound Heart,” will be released on Hulu on October 7, 2022. It will be the eleventh film in the “Hellraiser” series. One of the more striking elements of “Hellraiser” is its particular mythology. In the original 1987 “Hellraiser” feature film, written and directed by Barker, Hell was not depicted as the sin-based, punitive, Christian version of the realm as seen in Dante’s “Inferno,” but as something more akin to a particularly hard-edged S&M club....
Control freak Starz Earlier this year, /Film reported on Bateman’s exit from Apple TV’s Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansson co-led space comedy “Project Artemis.” Lucky for us, that was not the only pot he had boiling. Recently adding two episodes of HBO’s “The Outsider,” Bateman has a growing resume of directing credits to leverage that includes two feature-length comedies in the past decade — 2013’s “Bad Words” and 2015’s “The Family Fang....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Clip Promises A Pie-Eating Contest In Space [Exclusive] Paramount By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 19, 2022 3:14 pm EST The final frontier is about to get a whole lot … messier. Over fifty years after first arriving on the scene and changing the landscape of sci-fi forever, “Star Trek” keeps chugging along with new shows for every kind of fan out there. Those used to the frills and thrills of modern television have the continuing adventures of “Discovery” to look forward to, more old-fashioned viewers have the episodic and throwback charms of “Strange New Worlds” to occupy their imaginations, and audiences looking for a burst of colorful energy and irreverent zaniness get to look forward to the animated series “Lower Decks....
‘She’s going to be making soup in season 4’ Paramount This interview has been lightly edited for brevity and clarity. At the end of season 2, Captain Freeman was in some hot water because she’d been framed for the attack on the Pakleds, but as we approach the end of season 3, she’s kind of in hot water again. Where do you think we’ll see her go in season 4?...
Steven Spielberg Was Constantly Moved To Tears On The Set Of The Fabelmans Universal Pictures By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Nov. 8, 2022 3:01 pm EST Steven Spielberg is one of cinema’s biggest sentimentalists, which is one of his standout qualities. He has a unique ability to bare his soul and capture something extremely personal in every movie he makes; from the blockbuster action/adventure films that put him on the map to the political thrillers that define his later career, there’s always a feeling of emotional honesty that permeates his frame....
Part 3 might just be too big Bloody Disgusting Since this September interview, “Terrifier 2” has proven itself a hit, most recently seeing an unprecedented uptick of nearly 84% at the box office in its third week out. It’s no surprise, then, that Leone’s plans for a threequel are still on his mind, and apparently they’ve gotten a little too unwieldy to be contained to one movie. In an interview with Variety, he explained that he may have to chop the next movie into two parts to prevent a long runtime....
The 14 Best Hockey Movies, Ranked Universal Pictures By Scott Thomas/Oct. 17, 2022 4:52 pm EST In HBO Max’s excellent miniseries “Beartown,” a rural hockey coach explains why his team’s enforcer punches his opponents so often. “He’s not fighting. He’s protecting the most important investment this town has ever seen.” That investment is the team’s star forward, and when a parent pushes this coach to elaborate further, he responds curtly, “Either you understand that aspect of hockey or you don’t....
By Matt Rainis/Oct. 31, 2022 2:53 pm EST With the exception of some of our darker and grittier Batman reboots, superhero movies have typically been films that the whole family can enjoy together. Sure, Iron Man may occasionally make a rude joke or two, but ultimately you’re not going to see a ton of blood, gore, or death. “Deadpool” was a gigantic exception to this rule. Or, maybe not quite an exception so much as a huge middle finger toward the rule....
The Joke That Inspired Monty Python And The Holy Grail EMI Films By Witney Seibold/Aug. 18, 2022 1:56 pm EST An important question to ponder: What if I was expecting the Spanish Inquisition? In Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam’s film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” subtitled “Mønti Pythøn Ik Den Hølie Gräilen” (A.D. 1975), an English king named Arthur (Graham Chapman) assembles a retinue of knights, three or five of them in toto, in order to complete a task assigned to him by God (also Chapman, speaking out of a photograph famed cricketer W....

Why Morgan Freeman (Almost) Walked Away From Directing After Just One Film Warner Bros. Pictures By Marcos Melendez/Aug. 15, 2022 5:16 pm EST Although Morgan Freeman has solidified himself in Hollywood as an Oscar-winning actor, he has provided his talents primarily in front of the camera during his illustrious career. However, in the early ’90s, Freeman tried his hand at directing his one and only feature-length film. The project was called “Bopha!...
Why Steven Knight Wanted Peaky Blinders’ Ladies To Be Just As Powerful As Its Men Netflix By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Dec. 15, 2022 8:10 am EST Steven Knight’s period crime-drama series “Peaky Blinders” is loosely based on the real-life story of the brutal Birmingham-based street gang of the same name.
