The Rings Of Power Finale Writer On Breaking Galadriel’s World With The Sauron Reveal [Exclusive] Prime Video By Valerie Ettenhofer/Oct. 17, 2022 5:46 pm EST Now that the ash of Mount Doom has settled, the black flags of Númenor have been raised, and the harfoots have continued on their merry way, it’s a good time to take a look back on the first season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power....

The Wildest Things That Happened While Filming Predator 20th Century Studios By Gino Orlandini/Aug. 15, 2022 4:49 pm EST “Predator” from 1987 is one of the most enduringly scary monster movies of all time. Decades later, 20th Century Studios (formerly Fox) is still cranking out sequels and even made a good one with “Prey” in 2022, but when you break down what went on behind the scenes of the original Arnold Schwarzenegger action-horror classic, it’s easy to see how close this film was to being an embarrassment for everyone involved....

The brutality of Emancipation Apple TV+ For Smith, every obstacle they encountered got funneled into the final product. He said, “All of that adds to what you see on camera. It’s like you can feel the difficulty of the shoot in the texture of the scenes. It was grueling, but I love it. I am as proud as I have ever been of a piece of art.” In the same discussion, he and co-star Ben Foster revealed that they rarely spoke to one another out of character....

‘That’s it’ Netflix During an interview with GQ, Dano explained his reasoning for joining the project and described the moment Bong gave him a sketch of the super pig: “I can’t remember what I’d done right before Okja, but I know that I need to play more of a hero type of character, somebody who stands for something, and that felt important and right in that moment, for wherever I was in my life....

Babylon Trailer: Feast Your Eyes On Damien Chazelle’s Ode To Hollywood Excess Scott Garfield/Paramount By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 28, 2022 10:51 am EST Whenever Damien Chazelle makes a new movie, you can bet that it’ll come with a cast chock-full of A-listers, a spectacle-sized story that spares absolutely no expense, and probably a plot that doubles as a love letter to Hollywood itself. And, of course, it’ll likely end up becoming a major awards player when it’s all said and done....

Bang!: Everything We Know So Far About Idris Elba’s New Action Movie Universal Pictures By Erin Brady/Aug. 4, 2022 6:48 pm EST Dark Horse Entertainment and Netflix have seemingly had a successful partnership with each other. Shows like “The Umbrella Academy” and movies such as “Polar” have been hits on the platform, so why not keep this partnership going? According to Variety, the comics company and the streamer recently announced that their collaboration has expanded into a full first-look deal, allowing Netflix the first opportunity to adapt one of Dark Horses’ comics for film or television....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever passes a milestone Marvel Studios “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” added another $11 million to its domestic total this weekend, skipping over the $400 million milestone to a total of $409 million. Globally the film has grossed $767.8 million — a little more than “Thor: Love and Thunder” but considerably behind “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which had very strong overseas numbers. On the domestic side, though, “Multiverse of Madness” topped out at $411 million, meaning that “Wakanda Forever” is a sneeze away from becoming the biggest MCU movie of the year at the North American box office....

Brett Goldstein Didn’t Tell His Parents About His Cameo In Thor: Love And Thunder Apple TV+ By Rafael Motamayor/July 19, 2022 4:24 pm EST Warning: Major spoilers ahead for “Thor: Love and Thunder.” “Thor: Love and Thunder” is a movie with many flaws, particularly when it comes to trying to squeeze years’ worth of comic book stories into a single film that also wants to tell its own story based on the MCU’s unique continuity....

Clerks 3: Release Date, Cast And More Lionsgate By Ben F. Silverio/Aug. 15, 2022 8:23 am EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) Nearly 30 years after its cinematic debut, I assure you, the Quick Stop is open once again thanks to “Clerks III.” After trying to manifest this project in a number of different ways since the release of the second film in 2006, fan-favorite filmmaker Kevin Smith is finally presenting the third chapter in Dante Hicks and Randal Graves’ story in a theater near you....

Dominic Monaghan And Billy Boyd Talk Comic-Con Memories, Advice For The Rings Of Power Cast, And More [Exclusive] New Line Cinema By Jeremy Mathai/July 21, 2022 2:00 pm EST From page to screen, Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings,” his prequel follow-up trilogy “The Hobbit,” and now Prime Video’s upcoming “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series all represent the lasting legacy of Tolkien’s vivid imagination … one buoyed, in no small part, by the pitch-perfect cast of stars (and, at the time, stars in the making) who played invaluable roles in bringing such unforgettable characters to life....

Honorable Mentions: The offscreen victims Universal Pictures “Halloween Ends” puts plenty of mayhem up front and center, but these four kills are pretty tame. So, we’ll give them honorable mentions, since they do add to the total body count. The first happens after Corey is let go by Michael Myers, who’s been hanging out in the sewer, occasionally dragging bodies in there to “recharge” his evil energy. A homeless man confronts Corey with a knife, they struggle, and Corey stabs him....

Henry Silva, One Of Cinema’s Ultimate Badasses, Has Passed Away Cineproduzioni Daunia 70 By Eric Vespe/Sept. 16, 2022 8:29 pm EST I have Quentin Tarantino to thank for my love of Henry Silva. Many, many moons ago, Tarantino would come to Austin and screen his personal collection of 16mm and 35mm prints of his favorite films, all to support the Austin Film Society. If it wasn’t for seeing those obscure movies from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s with Tarantino introducing them all, like the most excitable film professor ever, I probably wouldn’t have discovered just how much of a badass Henry Silva was, most likely only recognizing him from the original “The Manchurian Candidate” or maybe as one of the villains in “Dick Tracy....

How Danny Elfman’s DNA Found Its Way Into Batman: The Animated Series Warner Bros. Animation By Marcos Melendez/Nov. 22, 2022 4:32 pm EST It’s hard to pin down the quintessential take on the Dark Knight, but nothing comes close to “Batman: The Animated Series” as far as animation is concerned. The show defined an era of superhero television in more ways than one. It spun off a universe of animated projects following DC’s greatest characters, including “Justice League....

How Stephen King Influenced The Netflix Adaptation Of Mr. Harrigan’s Phone Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 12, 2022 6:59 pm EST Stephen King currently holds the distinction of being the living author with the most adaptations of his work, the latest being Netflix’s take on “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone.” Directed and adapted by John Lee Hancock (“The Blind Side,” “Saving Mr. Banks”), “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” is a classic ghost story with a modern twist....

Is There Anything Andor’s Syril Karn Can Do To Keep His Mother Out Of His Private Box? Lucasfilm By Jenna Busch/Nov. 2, 2022 3:56 pm EST Spoilers ahead through episode 9 of “Andor.” Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) is a weasel, a creep, and probably an incel. He’s also right about Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). Both of those things make it very hard to root for him, despite what a fantastic job Soller is doing of selling this character to us....

Netflix’s Jimmy Savile documentary is … okay Netflix “Jimmy Savile” was directed by English filmmaker Rowan Deacon. The director has mainly worked on television documentaries, and based on that alone, should have had no issue telling the Jimmy Savile abuse story; however, this is a huge undertaking, and Deacon really struggles to both capture the scope and deliver the information in an accessible way. There are only two parts, and there’s not an obvious focus or theme for each episode; the story is instead told in roughly chronological order, with some jumping back and forth....

Recording Woody’s Toy Story Lines Leaves Tom Hanks In Pretty Rough Shape Disney By Marcos Melendez/Sept. 2, 2022 1:55 pm EST In the upper echelon of animated feature films, “Toy Story” sits firmly among the best that the genre (and Pixar) has to offer. With a star-studded cast behind the voices of our favorite toys, the rag-tag group of characters have become a staple in pop culture in and outside the medium itself....

The Acolyte cast revealed Lucasfilm Disney+ recently announced the cast for “The Acolyte,” the upcoming “Star Wars” Original series from creator, showrunner, and executive producer Leslye Headland (Netflix’s “Russian Doll”). Joining Amandla Stenberg (“Bodies Bodies Bodies”) are Lee Jung-jae (“Squid Game”), Manny Jacinto (“Nine Perfect Strangers”), Dafne Keen (“Logan”), Jodie Turner-Smith (“Queen & Slim”), Rebecca Henderson (“Inventing Anna”), Charlie Barnett (“Russian Doll”), Dean-Charles Chapman (“1917”), and Carrie-Anne Moss (“The Matrix”)....

Taking A Break Between Hereditary And Midsommar Wasn’t An Option For Ari Aster A24 By Ernesto Valenzuela/Aug. 2, 2022 3:25 pm EST Over the course of just two films, Ari Aster has solidified himself as one of the boldest storytellers in the horror genre, sitting alongside filmmakers like Jordan Peele and Robert Eggers. The director arrived on the scene with 2018’s “Hereditary,” a horror film that told a frighteningly surreal story about one family dealing with grief and familial trauma....
