The Boys Couldn’t Have Picked A Better Power To Give Jack Quaid’s Hughie In Season 3 Prime Video By Shania Russell/Sept. 2, 2022 11:50 am EST In the third season of “The Boys,” Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) takes a turn for the worst. When the series first began, Quaid’s character was the stereotypical “nice guy” in a world of chaos, debauchery, and corrupt corporation-created superheroes. Kindhearted and timid, Hughie was an unlikely addition to the Supe-hunting crew led by Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), but he had just as much reason as anyone else to resent the Vought machine: his girlfriend was killed in his arms, and it set him on a path for revenge....

Ford didn’t have much faith going in Columbia Pictures Released in 1979, “Hanover Street” casts Harrison Ford as David Halloran, an American pilot who falls for Margaret Sellinger (Lesley-Anne Down), a married English nurse, while stationed in London during WWII, only to end up trapped behind enemy lines with her husband, Paul (Christopher Plummer). According to Brad Duke’s 2015 book, “Harrison Ford: The Films,” Ford wasn’t chomping at the bit when Peter Hyams broached him about starring in the wartime melodrama while they were on the set of “Force 10 from Navarone....

The Nightmare Before Christmas’ Jack Skellington Casting Drove A Wedge Between Danny Elfman And Tim Burton Buena Vista Pictures By Anya Stanley/Nov. 30, 2022 4:00 pm EST Aside from its revered place as one of the most beloved holiday movies of all time, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” has a complicated legacy. Not due to problematic themes or scandalous allegations, but instead like Tobe Hooper’s “Poltergeist” (or Steven Spielberg’s, depending on whom you ask), where the collaboration process between its premier storytellers has muddied over time....

The Rings Of Power Supervising Sound Editor Reveals Motifs And Behind-The-Scenes Secrets [Exclusive Interview] Prime Video By Jack Giroux/Oct. 21, 2022 2:30 pm EST Supervising sound editor Damian Del Borrello worked on “The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power” for around two and a half years. When he asked how I was, I was tired, but how can you tell someone who’s just completed a 36-month-long audio marathon that you’re tired with a straight face?...

The Witch Ending Explained: Wouldst Thou Like To Live Deliciously? A24 By Debopriyaa Dutta/Oct. 25, 2022 1:20 pm EST Folk horror has undergone a revival of sorts in the past few years, with more narratives turning to unsettling folk mythos and traditions to create tense, layered storylines. We fear what we do not understand, and this innate human sentiment acts as fuel for compelling horror stories about temptation, sin, and paranoia....

Ti West Will Complete The X Trilogy With MaXXXine A24 By Lex Briscuso/Sept. 13, 2022 11:53 am EST Remember when Ti West revealed his sequel film, “Pearl,” had already been shot when he debuted “X” at South by Southwest in March 2022, a mere six months ago?

Beverly Hills Cop’s Script Was In Rough Shape Until Eddie Murphy Arrived Paramount By Jeremy Smith/Sept. 7, 2022 10:10 am EST Long before “Beverly Hills Cop” became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time (a record the film held for almost 20 years until “The Matrix Reloaded” claimed the crown), it was a problem project for Paramount. Birthed in 1975 by a young studio exec named Michael Eisner, the film was to be a fish-out-of-water actioner about a streetwise Detroit cop who busts up the ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood while trying to track down the murderer of his best friend....

A somewhat cathartic episode Netflix Explaining the connections between his experience and the episode, Brooker told BBC: “My own incident pre-dated Twitter, and my vilification was done by good old-fashioned email, but some of the characters in ‘Hated in the Nation’ say things that I was experiencing at the time.” He also did some research on what it’s like for people to deal with this sort of thing in the Twitter age: “I also read a book for research that deals with people caught up in Twitter storms....

‘Oh my gorshk’ Paramount Pictures In the book, Itzkoff — who had access to Williams and his family for interviews — explains that Williams was worried “that his unique attributes would get lost in the trappings of a familiar cartoon character.” He was concerned enough that he took the script to his longtime friend and writer Bennett Tramer, who said, “Unless you talking like Popeye is enough to sell a movie, there’s no story here....

House Of The Dragon Gives New Life To King’s Landing HBO By Danielle Ryan/Sept. 14, 2022 5:00 pm EST This article contains spoilers for “House of the Dragon” episode four. One of the great joys of reading the work of George R. R. Martin is the rich worldbuilding, describing the various locales of Westeros and Essos in great detail. While “Game of Thrones” had castles, throne rooms, and battlefields well represented, it rarely showed viewers what the rest of King’s Landing was like....

Joe Dante On His Shout! Factory TV Marathon, The Future Of Gremlins & More [Exclusive Interview] Trailers From Hell YouTube By Ryan Scott/Sept. 2, 2022 12:00 pm EST In the world of cinema, a filmmaker would count themselves extremely lucky to have just one movie that has a longer shelf life than its opening weekend, let alone a film that stands the test of time decades after its release. But Joe Dante, the man behind “Gremlins,” “The Howling,” and many other classics is a man that gets to say precisely that....

Namor Is A Huge Step Forward For Hispanic And Latin Representation In The MCU Marvel Studios By Ernesto Valenzuela/Nov. 11, 2022 2:30 pm EST Over the past few years, Marvel Studios has strived to tell more diverse stories, pulling not only from the rich lore of their comics but also from the history of other cultures.

The advantages to episodic storytelling Paramount The people behind the newest Trek show, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” however, are teaching themselves not to take their presence in the Trek canon for granted. Showrunner Henry Alonso Meyers said as much in a recent interview with TrekMovie. He is, perhaps wisely, not thinking beyond the show’s second season. “Strange New Worlds,” it should be mentioned, is presented as a series of one-off, hour-long episodes rather than as a series of enormous, season-long story arcs....

Steve Martin Says His Retirement Announcement Was ‘A Little Overstated’ Hulu By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 12, 2022 10:31 pm EST Reports of Steve Martin’s impending retirement may have been greatly exaggerated, or “a little overstated,” by the actor himself. Martin made headlines last month when he seemed to indicate that he would be hanging up his hat after Hulu’s Emmy-nominated “Only Murders in the Building” series wraps up. The show has earned Martin and his costar and longtime collaborator Martin Short dual nominations in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category, putting them head-to-head in tonight’s awards ceremony....
