Kevin Feige Explains Why Gorr Looked So Different From The Comics In Thor: Love And Thunder Marvel Studios By Ernesto Valenzuela/Sept. 14, 2022 3:38 pm EST “Thor: Love and Thunder” is a film heavily inspired by the Marvel Comics, specifically Jason Aaron’s famous run on the God of Thunder. Featuring everything from Jane Foster, aka the Mighty Thor, to the two goats Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder, “Love and Thunder” feels heavily influenced by Aaron’s take on the character and the world of Asgard....

A swashbuckling treasure hunt Universal With introductions already out of the way and the stakes clearly presented, the third episode of “Moon Knight” leaves the mystery behind in favor of a classic treasure hunt. Now that Steven/Marc are in Egypt, they have to find the tomb of Ammit before the bad guys awaken the ancient god and bring doom to mankind. Essentially, this is Brendan Fraser’s Rick O’Connell racing to find the Book of Amun-Ra and getting to Hamunaptra to stop Imhotep the Mummy before he brings his long-lost love back to life and unleashes flesh-eating scarabs on all of humanity....

National Treasure 3 Script Is In The Works And Being Sent To Nicolas Cage Soon, According To Jerry Bruckheimer Disney By Ryan Scott/Aug. 19, 2022 11:27 am EST For the first time in a long time, we may have some actual hope that “National Treasure 3” might just be happening. We’re still a pretty long way away from the long-awaited sequel actually getting a green light from Disney, but mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer did just offer an encouraging update on the matter, indicating that Nicolas Cage will hopefully have a script in his hands in the not-too-distant future....

Are the days of indie films over? Nope! Universal Pictures Peele’s latest offering “Nope” performed strongly enough this weekend to give me hope. The entertainment landscape has shifted significantly thanks to the pandemic, and some of the old rules don’t apply; “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” the multiversal fever dream directed by the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) and distributed by A24, enjoyed a long theater run, thanks largely to word-of-mouth and positive reviews....

Paul W.S. Anderson Didn’t Want Event Horizon To Follow In The Footsteps Of Alien Paramount By Witney Seibold/Nov. 1, 2022 2:40 pm EST Paul W.S. Anderson’s 1997 film “Event Horizon” might belong to a subgenre one might call “high-octane horror.” While filled with gruesome images of mutilation and terror, and possessed of demonic, apocalyptic underpinnings, “Event Horizon” has the steely look and mad-dash pace of an action thriller. The premise of “Event Horizon” is certainly fun....

Castle Rock, ME, 1959 Columbia Pictures The four adolescents in question are funny and confident — and deeply wounded. There’s Teddy, and then there’s the awkward and fearful Vern (Jerry O’Connell), the intelligent and soulful Chris (River Phoenix), and the creative and observant Gordie (Wil Wheaton). Gordie, also the film’s narrator (Richard Dreyfuss narrates as the adult version of the character), has become a ghost in his own home after the death of his older brother Denny (John Cusack in flashbacks)....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Wants To Bring On Two Fan-Favorite Next Generation Stars Paramount By Witney Seibold/Sept. 16, 2022 1:30 pm EST Trekkies from the 1990s were spoiled, perhaps even more spoiled than in 2022. “Star Trek: The Next Generation” debuted in 1987, and was so successful, it ran for seven seasons. During its run, the show spun off twice into “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” (1993 – 1999) and “Star Trek: Voyager” (1995 – 2001) and by 2002, there were four NextGen feature films....

The 15 Best Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror Segments, Ranked By Michael Boyle/Oct. 1, 2022 10:00 am EST Taking all the “Treehouse of Horror” segments in “Simpsons” history and narrowing them down to fifteen isn’t an easy feat. Whereas most people agree the show’s golden era ended around season 8 or 9, the Halloween specials were still pretty great until at least season 20 or so. Even today, the “Treehouse of Horror” episodes are consistently some of the best of each season....

What Happened and What’s Going On (Season 5, Episode 9) AMC What Happened and What’s Going On (Season 5, Episode 9) The group has barely managed to pick up the pieces following Beth’s (Emily Kinney) accidental death when it’s hit with another heavy loss. “What Happened and What’s Going On” opens on a memorial service, leading the audience to believe that Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) is giving a sermon for Beth....

The Avengers: Endgame Cast Had No Idea About ‘The Blip’ Until They Were About To Shoot It Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures By Matt Rainis/Oct. 4, 2022 12:51 pm EST The ending sequence of “Avengers: Infinity War” was an extremely shocking twist for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. During the last minutes of the film, the evil Thanos manages to obtain all of the Infinity Stones, allowing him to snap his fingers and immediately wipe out half of all living beings in the entire universe....

Titanic Paramount “Titanic” was a cultural phenomenon – and you know what? It’s great! Say what you will about James Cameron, but he knows how to direct a film. Big, romantic, and unapologetically corny, “Titanic” plays even better today than it did when it arrived in the ’90s, and that’s saying something – because this movie was huge in the ’90s. The story of star-crossed lovers on the doomed ship swept the Oscars, helped make Leonardo DiCaprio a star, and got that damn Celine Dion song stuck in everyone’s head....

The Best TV Shows And Movies Leaving HBO Max In September 2022 Sony Pictures Classics By BJ Colangelo/Aug. 26, 2022 9:00 am EST HBO Max is about to say farewell to a number of fantastic films, but this time it’s not related to their current slaughter. Since HBO Max first launched in May 2020, the streamer has consistently had absolutely stellar offerings of original programming and acquisitions alike, but these days it’s hard to keep track with everything they keep sending to the gallows....

The Decision That Saved Jenna Ortega’s Character In Wednesday Vlad Cioplia/Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/Dec. 5, 2022 1:00 pm EST Wednesday Addams has always been a walking rain cloud. The Addams family’s only daughter was prone to strange and macabre humor long before Jenna Ortega took on the role of the raven-haired goth teen in Netflix’s new series “Wednesday.” Back in 1944, when Charles Addams’ original “The Addams Family” cartoons appeared in “The New Yorker,” one featured a punchline in which mother Morticia encouraged her daughter to commit attempted murder....

Check out The Little Mermaid sneak peek Like many Disney projects before it, “The Little Mermaid” comes with the backing of an acclaimed group of creatives. Rob Marshall, director of “Chicago,” “Into the Woods” and “Mary Poppins Returns” is continuing his musical streak at the helm of this film, which is also produced by Lin Manuel Miranda, John DeLucas, and Marc Platt. The screenplay comes from Jane Goldman (“Rebecca,” “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”) and David Magee (“Mary Poppins Returns”)....

Tiffany Valiante and Mystery at Mile Marker 45 Netflix “Mystery at Mile Marker 45” establishes that, before Valiante was last seen on camera, walking away from her house to somehow be hit by a train, she had a confrontation with a friend who accused her of using her credit card without permission. Valiante denies doing it but then confesses to her mother that it’s true, whereupon she’s threatened with further exposure to her father....

Ghost Stories Wasn’t Actually a Failure Crunchyroll, Inc. Like. At all. In fact, there’s no real evidence to even suggest that “Ghost Stories,” with its original Japanese script and audio, was actually the massive failure we’ve all been led to believe it was; however, there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. For starters, “Ghost Stories” was already a popular IP before the anime series premiered in 2000. The anime is based off a bestselling manga of the same name, and the manga was popular enough to spawn a live-action film in 1995....

Why John Wick Director Chad Stahelski Played A Small Role In The Matrix Resurrections [Comic-Con] Warner Bros. By Ernesto Valenzuela/July 23, 2022 4:05 pm EST “The Matrix Resurrections” was a passion project from the beginning. The subversive and meta sequel to “The Matrix Revolutions” revisited the dormant action franchise in a way that felt fresh while simultaneously picking back up right where the previous films left off. While making the film, director Lana Wachowski assembled Matrix alumni from all corners, from VFX supervisors to ADs, to make the movie a love letter to the franchise....

Why Making Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Was ‘Therapeutic’ For Lupita Nyong’o Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/July 25, 2022 3:39 pm EST After a private four-year battle with colon cancer, Chadwick Boseman tragically passed away at the age of 43 in 2020. The talented actor delivered some incredible performances in his final years in films like “42,” “Get On Up,” and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” but many knew him best as King T’Challa of Wakanda, aka the Black Panther, of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Dark Winds has been renewed for season 2 AMC AMC wasted very little time in making a call as “Dark Winds” was officially renewed for a second season on June 21, 2022. This decision came just over a week after the show premiered on AMC and AMC+, meaning that the brass clearly feels confident in what they’ve got. Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, had this to say about it:...

Working Girl Came Close To Cutting Carly Simon From The Soundtrack By Jeremy Smith/Aug. 9, 2022 12:48 pm EST It is impossible to imagine Mike Nichols’ “Working Girl” kicking off and concluding with anything less triumphal than Carly Simon’s “Let the River Run.” The opening helicopter shots of the Statue of Liberty and the Staten Island Ferry strike the perfect aspirational note, and the final exterior pull-back from Melanie Griffith’s newly acquired office (which dissolves into a helicopter shot as well) would feel wrong with any other music cue....
