Audrey Hepburn And Cary Grant Were Well Aware Of Their Awkward Age Gap In Charade Universal Pictures By Lyvie Scott/April 14, 2022 5:08 pm EST Is an Audrey Hepburn movie really an Audrey Hepburn movie if her love interest isn’t at least 10 years her senior? Sadly, some of the actress’ best films have her playing against some of the most charming heartthrobs of their time … just a bit past their prime....
Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers early buzz Disney+ For starters, /Film’s very own Chris Evangelista and Ethan Anderson had the chance to check out the film and they both had very nice things to say about it. In particular, they offered comparisons to “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” which is no small thing to say. Folks, CHIP N DALE RESCUE RANGERS is truly a worthy successor to WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. Packed with hilarious and even mystifying cartoon cameos and references, it’s clever, inventive, and so much fun for adults and kids alike....
Christopher Nolan Has A Hot Take About Blade Runner Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 21, 2022 9:00 am EST “Blade Runner” is one of those classic films that has existed in numerous versions over the years. The original 1982 domestic and international cuts gave way to a so-called “Director’s Cut,” and then the “Final Cut,” which featured additional involvement from director Ridley Scott. Since the Final Cut — released in 2007 as the movie marked its 25th anniversary — is the only one that Scott oversaw without an intermediary, fans may be inclined to regard it as the definitive version....

Denzel Washington’s Training Day Role Sparked A Surprising Amount Of Controversy Warner Bros. Pictures By Lyvie Scott/March 23, 2022 10:06 am EST In Netflix’s “Black Hollywood: They’ve Gotta Have Us,” David Oyelowo shares an anecdote about the legendary Denzel Washington. As the story goes, Washington told his agents early in his career, “Send me every [role] that Harrison Ford is turning down or that he can’t do.” Whether the story is true is a mystery in itself, but it skews close to the struggles that Black actors faced at the time....
Disney Is Giving The Aristocats The Live-Action Treatment Disney By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 21, 2022 8:41 am EST Here’s a novel idea: a live-action movie about talking cats. Even better? It’s a live-action Disney remake! Disney is going back to the well of its 1970s animated slump with a live-action remake of “The Aristocats.” The original film, which Wolfgang Reitherman directed between “The Jungle Book” and “Robin Hood,” centered on cats in Paris who stand to inherit money until their owner’s butler kidnaps them and strands them in the French countryside....
Furiosa Release Date and Where You Can Watch It Warner Bros. Alright, here’s the biggest blow to my burst of unflappable optimism earlier. Last week we received the bad news that the release for “Furiosa” would be delayed from the originally scheduled date of June 23, 2023 to May 24, 2024, almost a year later than we anticipated. This is likely another casualty of the ongoing pandemic making it extraordinarily difficult for film sets to proceed as normal....
Here’s How That Epic Stranger Things 4 Guitar Scene Came Together Netflix By Jenna Busch AND Hannah Shaw-Williams/July 4, 2022 5:26 pm EST “Stranger Things” season 4, volume 2 is finally out on Netflix. If you haven’t watched the last two episodes (or at least an hour into episode 9), look away. There are spoilers ahead. You have been warned, so don’t send a Demodog after me or anything. /Film participated in a roundtable interview with Joseph Quinn who plays Eddie Munson in the series, who told us how the whole guitar scene came together....
A creator’s worst whims Warner Bros. The Potterverse is unique in pop culture because it is stridently controlled by one person: its creator J.K. Rowling. She has a level of creative power over every aspect of the IP — the books, movies, theme park attractions, and so on — that really doesn’t exist anywhere else in the 2020s. Consider how, for example, the Marvel Cinematic Universe wasn’t exclusively created by Stan Lee and it’s not beholden to the specifications of one artistic figure....
Ms. Marvel Review: A Breathlessly Imaginative Teen Comedy, And Breath Of Fresh Of Air For Superhero Shows Marvel Studios By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 7, 2022 9:00 am EST When Peter Parker first swung onto the pages of Marvel Comics in 1962, he changed the world. For the first time, here was a relatable, flawed superhero for the teens — a stark difference from all the aspirational heroes who came before him. But as Spider-Man exploded in popularity, he lost some of his outcast relatability — though the comics would constantly try to recapture it with multiple amnesiac episodes and alternate universe reboots....
Parasite Director Bong Joon-Ho’s Next Movie Is A Sci-Fi Flick Starring Robert Pattinson Denis Makarenko/Shutterstock We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It seems Bong Joon-ho has found his followup to “Parasite.” The acclaimed satirical drama-thriller took home four Oscars in 2020 (including wins for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature), catapulting the filmmaker into “household name” status for those who may not have paid much attention to him before....
Paul Thomas Anderson Reunites With HAIM For New Music Video MGM By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 1, 2022 4:25 pm EST It’s no surprise that filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson and HAIM are collaborating again. After using a string of HAIM music videos as tests for his now-acclaimed “Licorice Pizza,” PTA is once again coming together with the band, this time for an exclusive new HAIM music video named “Lost Track,” according to The Film Stage....
Richard Armitage And Charlie Murphy Set To Star In Netflix Thriller Series Damage Netflix By Jenna Busch/March 20, 2022 10:37 am EST I’m not often squicked out by a series description, but I find the one for the upcoming Netflix series “Damage” really unsettling. With all the horror films and sci-fi that I watch, it might be surprising that this one is sort of vile for me, but it is. “Damage” is based on the Josephine Hart 1990s political novella about “erotic obsession and forbidden desire,” and Richard Armitage and Charlie Murphy have now joined the cast, according to Variety....
Ridley Scott Reflects On His Legendary Apple Commercial: ‘Who The F*** Is Steve Jobs?’ Apple By Valerie Ettenhofer/Jan. 16, 2022 2:00 pm EST Prolific director Ridley Scott is in the award season conversation for not just one, but two films this year. He released the panoramic period piece “The Last Duel” in October, before dropping the Lady Gaga-led “House of Gucci” the very next month. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scott reflected on his varied career, even speaking at length about his time directing TV commercials....
Stanley Kubrick And Matthew Modine Had An Intense Stand-Off While Filming Full Metal Jacket Warner Bros. By Mike Shutt/March 24, 2022 10:07 am EST To say Stanley Kubrick was demanding is an understatement. The director was a notorious perfectionist, with his film shoots notoriously stretching on for months and months with actors doing countless takes just to get it exactly the way Kubrick had in his head. He also was not shy about not being considerate or kind to the people he worked with, most apparent by his treatment, or mistreatment to be more precise, of Shelley Duvall on the set of “The Shining....
Star Trek: Discovery Producer Reveals How Season 5 Will Pull From Trek’s Past Paramount By Witney Seibold/March 18, 2022 5:59 pm EST On March 17, “Star Trek: Discovery” concluded its fourth season on Paramount+, with a fifth season already announced for early 2023. “Discovery” is the flagship show in a new, modern era of “Star Trek” that includes “Star Trek: Short Treks,” “Star Trek: Picard,” “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” “Star Trek: Prodigy,” the upcoming “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” the still-in-production “Star Trek: Section 31,” and the hotly anticipated “Star Trek: Boba Fett....
Steven Yeun Is Back In The Recording Booth For Invincible Season 2 Prime Video By Joshua Meyer/April 18, 2022 9:03 am EST Steven Yeun is finally back to work recording his voice performance for season 2 of “Invincible,” the animated Prime Video series based on the comic book written by Yeun’s old “Walking Dead” collaborator, Robert Kirkman. Back in early January, we heard that work on “Invincible” season 2 was progressing slowly, and there was no clear indication as to when it would arrive....
Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 Review: An Epic, Overstuffed Finale Full Of Big Emotional Swings And Long-Winded Speeches Netflix By Chris Evangelista/July 1, 2022 3:00 am EST Everything about “Stranger Things 4” was big, so I suppose it’s only fitting that the grand finale — two extra-long episodes being billed as “Stranger Things 4 Volume 2” — is overstuffed to the extreme. Clocking in at nearly four-hours total, the two-part finale is big, big, big!...

The film career and dramatized TV revival of Robert Evans Prime Video In his apartment, The Legend has photos on the wall of him with ’70s stars like Burt Reynolds, Carrie Fisher, Steve McQueen, Dennis Hopper, and Roy Scheider. He also drops plenty of other names and just generally looks for any opportunity to steer the conversation away from the Winter Soldier analog Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and into stories of his Hollywood sexcapades, such as when he was “at the Chateau [Mormont] after the ‘Marathon Man’ premiere....
