James Gunn’s DCU Plans Take Inspiration From DC’s Animated Series Cartoon Network By Rafael Motamayor/Dec. 21, 2022 9:04 am EST The DC Universe is undergoing its own Crisis event, with as much chaos surrounding what the franchise will and will not look like in the near future as a party organized by Joker. There’s been cancellations, firings, fights with Dwayne Johnson, and poor-taste trickery about actors returning to roles without a single deal in place....

Jason Bateman Feels He’s Come ‘Full Circle’ Since His Time On Silver Spoons Netflix By Travis Yates/Nov. 20, 2022 2:00 pm EST It’s not every day that you have a daily reminder of your childhood right outside of your office window, but then again, not everyone is Jason Bateman. It’s a special kind of irony that Bateman has been in the entertainment industry for his entire life when you consider he’s made a career of playing the everyday straight man....

The story’s main character is a woman named Hélène who is arrested for the murder of her husband. Evidently, she crushed his head and arm in a hydraulic press, and will not reveal her motivation for doing so....

‘I had trouble getting to sleep’ YouTube Now, picture this: Martin Scorsese, the 79-year-old director of tame, not at all shocking or violence-filled movies like “Goodfellas,” or “Taxi Driver,” watching Mia Goth decapitating and otherwise tearing her victims to shreds — and responding by doing the “Pointing Rick Dalton” meme and loving every second. Well, it happened. A24 received this review from Scorsese himself, who simply gushes about Ti West’s new film....

Leslie Nielsen Might Have Been The World’s Very First Star Trek Fan Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer By Witney Seibold/Nov. 29, 2022 2:39 pm EST Celebrities who self-proclaim to be Trekkies are common enough, but actually hearing a famous person lose their cool over a particular episode or character from “Star Trek” creates a strange unspoken kinship with fellow fans. Trekkies are happy to find one another, even during late-stage geek culture where mutual pop culture passion is now a common part of social discourse....

Michael Myers, Chucky, And Jason Voorhees All Live On Peacock Now – So When Are We Getting A Crossover? SyFy/USA By Matthew Bilodeau/Nov. 2, 2022 8:00 am EST No one can beat Shudder in terms of curation, in addition to diversity across decades and creators, but Peacock still features a pretty great selection of horror films.

Neil Gaiman Seemed Destined To Bring His Version Of Beowulf To The Big Screen Paramount Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/Sept. 15, 2022 2:54 pm EST A blood and mead-soaked $150 million film adaptation of the classic epic poem “Beowulf” — one that sees Robert Zemeckis directing from a script by Neil Gaiman and “Pulp Fiction” co-writer Roger Avary — reads like the sort of things we movie buffs would talk about all the time....

Prepping For Platoon Was Especially Punishing For Forest Whitaker And Willem Dafoe Orion Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Aug. 27, 2022 7:30 pm EST It’s not uncommon to hear of actors being put through boot camp to prepare for war movie roles, but when Oliver Stone made his long-gestating, Academy Award-winning Vietnam film “Platoon,” he had his actors undergo training in the real jungle. “Platoon” was inspired by Stone’s true-life experiences as a soldier in the U....

The Game’s Unpredictable Plot Is A Point Of Pride For Michael Douglas Polygram Films By Anya Stanley/Nov. 15, 2022 12:26 pm EST Most of David Fincher’s films enter a tempest upon release, as critics and moviegoers tussle over whether his noir-influenced visual style supports whatever story he’s telling (it usually does). His 1997 effort “The Game” is one that divides Fincher fans, with some ranking it below newer works like the 2020 Tinseltown drama “Mank” despite the critical praise the film enjoyed upon release from luminaries like Roger Ebert (“It stays true to its paranoid vision right up until what seems like the very end–and then beyond it,” he writes)....

Kratos, the God of War Sony Interactive Entertainment To understand why starting in the middle doesn’t work here, it’s important to understand the beginning. The first “God of War” game released in 2005, nearly two decades ago, where it wasted no time introducing the world to Kratos (Terrance “T.C.” Carson in all but the most recent two installments), a bloodthirsty Spartan captain and demigod son of Zeus who made a fateful deal with Ares, the Greek God of War....

This conflicted with Jimmy’s cover story about the car breaking down and him walking across the desert with the money alone....

Aaron Sorkin Never Felt Like He Got The Newsroom Right HBO By Steven Ward/Dec. 4, 2022 6:00 am EST For three seasons, “The Newsroom” walked the slimmest of tightropes as an idealistic drama about the teams behind broadcast news. On the one hand, it needed to balance the hefty cynicism directed at media networks for their blatant partisanship and ivory-tower elitism (which it attempted to do by shaping news stories both behind the scenes and in front of a teleprompter)....

Ana De Armas Wants Answers (And Revenge) In Upcoming John Wick Spinoff Ballerina MGM By Shania Russell/Dec. 4, 2022 4:12 pm EST When Ana de Armas stepped out with guns blazing in “No Time To Die,” she left one hell of an impression on the audience.

Did An Affectionate Hot Dog Fingers Scene In Everything Everywhere All At Once Take Cues From Carol? A24 By Lyvie Scott/Dec. 8, 2022 4:02 pm EST Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series is a beautiful exercise in relatability. Actors with very disparate filmographies or backgrounds often find surprising connections when they sit down to talk — whether it be in their interests, their processes, or their frequent collaborators. One pairing in particular from the 2022 season, Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh, have a lot more in common than anyone might have believed at first glance....
