Why Richard Madden Was ‘Thankful To Leave’ Game Of Thrones HBO By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Aug. 10, 2022 10:55 am EST Despite how it ended, we all have to agree that it was rare for a television show to accomplish what “Game of Thrones” did. The extent of character-driven storytelling depicted through its vast, immersive world was the basis of its appeal. Its breathtaking cinematography was a feat on its own, making the world of Westeros a place where any problem can be tackled with a sword or a saddle....

Being A Fresh Face On The Crown Comes With A Fair Deal Of Pressure Netflix By Jenna Busch/Nov. 7, 2022 3:12 pm EST When Netflix announced yet another new cast for the series “The Crown,” as they do when the show jumps through time, an old memory popped up in my head.

Clark Gable Fought John Huston To Save Marilyn Monroe’s The Misfits Role United Artists By Anthony Crislip/Dec. 18, 2022 4:00 pm EST “The Misfits” would be Marilyn Monroe’s final film. The 1961 modern-day psychological Western was ravaged by her physical troubles on-set and the collapse of Monroe’s marriage to the movie’s screenwriter, Arthur Miller. And the emotional devastation of the movie’s plot was reflected by what went on during its making, as Miller, director John Huston, and co-star Eli Wallach hatched a plan to rewrite the movie....

Zenitsu Says ‘Women’s Rights’ Crunchyroll, Inc. It looks like the part-time sleepy swordsman and full-time horny boy has grown a lot over the course of the Entertainment District Arc. Not only has Zenitsu managed to overcome his anxiety long enough to be useful while he’s still awake — though he still shines most when he’s sleeping — but he also seems to have learned that women are people deserving of respect and humanity as opposed to objects who exist for him to creep on....

A24 By Miyako Pleines/Nov. 20, 2022 5:00 am EST Jenna Ortega is currently having A Moment.

Jurassic World Was Originally Going To Be A Video Game Before It Became A Movie Universal Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/July 28, 2022 2:24 pm EST Life, ah, finds a way. And so does the “Jurassic Park” franchise, although it hasn’t always been easy. After the first three films in the dino-franchise steadily rolled out from 1993 through 2001, the fourth movie would go through an arduous pre-production process that included a notoriously bizarre early script draft featuring, among other things, dinosaur/dog hybrids....

Night Of The Living Dead Was A Foundational Movie For Terry Crews [Comic-Con] Continental Distributing By Erin Brady/July 22, 2022 7:16 pm EST It’s long been said that horror and comedy are very closely connected to each other.

Okay, Fine, Let’s Fan Cast Mike Flanagan’s Dark Tower And See What Happens Marvel Comics By Danielle Ryan/Dec. 8, 2022 2:19 pm EST Stephen King fans are a little protective over “The Dark Tower,” the author’s sprawling epic that began with “The Gunslinger” in 1982, and it’s hard to blame them. It took King 22 years to complete the saga, with gaps of up to five years between each book, so it’s been a part of many fans’ lives for decades....

Roger Moore Had A Hilarious Trick For Facing Down James Bond Baddies United Artists By Witney Seibold/Oct. 3, 2022 11:47 am EST The debate as to which actor best played Ian Fleming’s James Bond will never be settled. One fan’s personal favorite will never match with everyone else’s, and the debate will continue in perpetuity as long as Eon Productions keeps churning out these movies. This author happens to be most fond of Pierce Brosnan in the role, with a secondary preference for David Niven, but he will not confront anyone who likes George Lazenby or Danel Craig or that one Scottish actor....

The Bear’s Writers Were Working With A Specific Adam Sandler Movie In Mind FX/Hulu By Valerie Ettenhofer/July 15, 2022 5:36 pm EST If you’ve seen FX and Hulu’s new series “The Bear,” you know that it feels a little bit like a heart attack spread across four hours. The series about a busy and disorganized Chicago restaurant — and the silently grieving perfectionist chef (Jeremy Allen White) who runs it — is one of the best shows on TV this year, and a lot of its excellence comes from its ability to pull off a breakneck pace....

‘Middle-earth is vibrant and full of life’ Prime Video During the panel conversation, co-showrunner J.D. Payne laid out a bit of the timeline and drew an analogy for how fans should think about the setting compared with the movie. “Well, the show takes place more than 4,000 years before the films do, so [there are a lot of differences]. You could ask what the changes you could see between something set in modern day versus ancient Greece, so it’s a whole different Middle-earth....
