Hellraiser Featurette Reveals How Jamie Clayton’s New Cenobite Came To Life Hulu By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 12, 2022 5:51 pm EST In the days since David Bruckner’s take on “Hellraiser” debuted on Hulu, we haven’t been able to stop talking about Jamie Clayton’s turn as the new version of Pinhead/The Hell Priest, and her incredible transformation into the character made famous by Doug Bradley. Both Bruckner and Clayton have talked at length about the importance, impact, and sacred territory they were both entering by revitalizing the “Hellraiser” series, but Clayton’s transformation is wildly impressive on a practical level as well....

Far from a solitary mission Spacemaker When you’re working with an ensemble cast, it can be difficult to give each character their own compelling and nuanced story. However, thanks to the collaborative writing process the film touts (Goldhaber co-wrote the film with star Ariela Barer and scholar Jordan Sjol), everyone at the center of the film feels deeply authentic. While definitely an ensemble film, “Pipeline” has a particular center around two childhood best friends: Xochitl (Barer), who lost her mother in a freak heat wave, and Theo (Sasha Lane), who was recently diagnosed with a rare and rapidly-advancing form of leukemia....

James Gunn Explains How The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Connects To Vol. 3 Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 18, 2022 3:35 pm EST Remember when there used to be an actual transition period between Halloween and the holiday season, allowing all of us to take a deep breath, reset ourselves, and enjoy some turkey and stuffing (here in the States, at least) before pivoting towards the mad dash for gifts and eggnog and nonstop anxiety and stress?...

What we think Madame! will be about Marvel Studios According to the article from Variety, the series will look at Tussaud as a young woman who built her wax art business beginning in Paris, before and through the French Revolution and the subsequent Reign of Terror.

‘Fortunately, I get to write the book about it’ Columbia Pictures When you hear something so beloved from your childhood is coming back, you pause a little bit. But “Cobra Kai” is so wonderful and it brings us so much joy. What is it about this franchise that you think allowed this to work so perfectly? I think the themes — and I allude to this in the “Waxing On” book — the themes still resonate on a human level, whether it’s bullying, mentorship, single parenting, fatherless teen, fish out of water, all these areas of life and navigating life, certainly in adolescence and beyond, are truthful to everyone in some way....

Rosaline Review: A Revisionist Romeo And Juliet Retelling That Could’ve Used More Revising Hulu By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 11, 2022 12:00 pm EST Hollywood sure does love a feminist revisionist retelling. It’s an easy sell: take a much-adapted story and give it a contemporary, self-aware spin — maybe with a post-post feminist heroine and a topical message thrown in. The only problem is that few are really successful at this gambit, with most leaning too hard on the novelty of seeing corset-clad women and chainmail-wearing men spout trendy slang....

Sergio Leone Had To Fight For The Rights To Make Once Upon A Time In America Warner Bros By Lee Adams/Aug. 6, 2022 7:32 am EST Sergio Leone only made seven films in his career, but the best of them sealed his reputation as one of the most stylish and influential directors of the 20th century. Like Wim Wenders with the road movie and Paul Verhoeven with sci-fi, he used genre to view America through the eyes of an outsider, using his operatic violence and gallows humor to put his distinct slant on two of the most American genres of them all: the Western and the gangster movie....

The Best Movies Starring The Euphoria Cast You Need To See HBO By Jenn Adams/Nov. 27, 2022 10:15 am EST Shows about high school are hardly new. From early examples like “Happy Days” and “The Wonder Years” to the ’90s heyday of “Dawson’s Creek” and “Beverly Hills 90210,” teenage drama has always been a part of the television landscape. Many of us look back on our time in high school with a mix of horror and embarrassment, but the years between 9th and 12th grade have never been more stressful than in Sam Levinson’s “Euphoria....

Why Frank Darabont Wanted To Adapt Stephen King’s The Mist [Exclusive] Dimension Films By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 22, 2022 7:23 am EST Prior to “The Mist,” writer-director Frank Darabont’s specialty was the prestige Stephen King film adaptation. With “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile,” Darabont raked in multiple Oscar nominations, joining Rob Reiner (“Stand by Me,” “Misery”) as one of the best go-to filmmakers for adapting King’s literary works. A monster movie about people trapped in a supermarket while tentacled creatures overtake the world outside might not seem like the obvious choice for a follow-up to those two films, but Darabont had already proven right from the start that he was capable of creating more than just prison dramas out of King’s source material....

Why Tom Hanks Had Serious Doubts That People Would Care About Forrest Gump Paramount By Alani Vargas/Nov. 28, 2022 4:54 pm EST “Life [is] like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get” is an unforgettable line from the unforgettable film “Forrest Gump.” The adage, which gives a surprisingly enlightened view of accepting what life hands you, is not spoken by a philosopher or a pseudo-intellectual know-it-all. It’s spoken by Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump, a man with an IQ of 75....
