Never mess with someone’s dog Lionsgate There’s something that just feels right about John Wick being in Las Vegas, but maybe that’s just me feeling lucky that there’s another sequel coming soon. Reeves and Stahelski took the stage at CinemaCon to show off some fun new footage from “John Wick 4,” which is set to hit theaters on March 24, 2023. The footage begins with the New York City skyline and Laurence Fishburne’s dulcet voice-over telling us, “abandon all hope, you who are about to enter....
Mae Whitman To Star In Hulu Musical Series Up Here From Hamilton Director NBC By Shania Russell/March 24, 2022 11:52 am EST If a romantic comedy is only as good as its lead, then “Up Here” is shaping up to be pretty spectacular.

May Calamawy Didn’t Know She Was Embodying The Hippo God Taweret Until Just Before Cameras Rolled Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/May 5, 2022 12:00 pm EST From the beginning, “Moon Knight” was marketed with the main attraction of Oscar Isaac embodying multiple different identities of the same character and, essentially, acting against himself in several big moments throughout the series. To nobody’s surprise, the actor rose to the occasion and then some, serving as the centerpiece of some of the absolute best sequences in “Moon Knight” and carrying much of the storyline on his shoulders....
Michael Mann Had A Hard Time Getting Heat To The Big Screen Warner Bros. By Mike Shutt/March 15, 2022 5:05 pm EST You would be hard-pressed to find a crime movie made since 1995 that in some way is not completely indebted to “Heat.” From “The Dark Knight” to “Den of Thieves,” the influence of “Heat” in popular cinema is unmistakable. This nearly three-hour magnum opus from the king of emotionally closed-off tough guys, Michael Mann, plays on such a grand scale that it becomes operatic....
A long time coming Lucasfilm “Star Wars” and Andrew Stanton, a popular fan choice to direct any number of “Star Wars” movies over the years, certainly feels like a match made in heaven. The director has previously cited the original movie and the overall franchise as influences on his work, such as “Wall-E” (in which Stanton actually hired “Star Wars” sound designer Ben Burtt, who developed the sounds of R2-D2 and many other famous droids, to create the voice of the eponymous robot) or especially “John Carter....

Spider-Man: No Way Home Recreates The Spider-Man Meme, You Know The One ARP Films By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 23, 2022 10:40 am EST Is a spoiler still a spoiler if the actual movie studios involved go ahead and tweet it out for all to see? That’s right, today’s finally the day where we break out the famous “If a tree falls down in a forest…” thought experiment and apply it to, naturally, superhero movies....
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Features A Lord Of The Rings Reference You Probably Missed Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/June 24, 2022 3:50 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.” One of the greatest strengths of “Star Trek” comes from how malleable the franchise can be. As proven time and time again over the decades, only limitations in creativity and imagination on the writers’ part (and that of its viewers, as well) can hold the property back from its best version of itself....

What is the Savage Land? Marvel Comics If your familiarity with Marvel properties only extends as far as the MCU and Disney+ spinoffs (which is completely fine — no judgment here!), you may be asking “What the Savage Land?” First introduced in “Marvel Mystery Comics” #22 in 1941, the Savage Land is an area located in Antarctica, featuring a curiously tropical climate given its otherwise frigid location. It’s also teeming with volcanoes and wildlife — like dinosaurs....
The Silence Of The Lambs Scene That Truly Terrified Jodie Foster Strong Heart Productions By Anya Stanley/Jan. 3, 2022 10:49 am EST In 1991, “The Silence of the Lambs” was the third film to sweep the “Big 5” at the Academy Awards, picking up golden statues for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. The movie holds the same honors as “It Happened One Night” in 1934 and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” in 1974; it’s not a bad feat for a movie about an FBI agent/cannibal tag team hunting down a serial killer....
