Night Shyamalan’s “Knock at the Cabin,” has nabbed some pretty exciting stars to help bring his next tale of terror to life. We’ve recently learned that one of the stars of Shyamalan’s riveting Apple TV+ series “Servant,” Ron Weasley himself, Rupert Grint has signed on for his next project....

Blue Velvet De Laurentiis Entertainment Group Is there any way to slowly wade into the pool that is the surreal, bizarre, disturbing, and ultimately spiritual cinema of David Lynch, rather than diving right into the deep end? I might argue that “Blue Velvet” makes as good a starting point as any of Lynch’s other movies. (Well, unless all you want is to be able to claim you’ve seen at least one Lynch film; in that case, “The Straight Story” might be a safer bet....

The Cellar Star Elisha Cuthbert Doesn’t Hold Back In Horror Movies [Interview] Shudder By Jack Giroux/April 18, 2022 4:38 pm EST Elisha Cuthbert’s horror movies are well-known among horror fans. Now, she’s got a distinct trio of horror titles on her resume with “Captivity,” “House of Wax,” and now, “The Cellar.” All different styles of horror movies, all different performances. However, those three movies share one key similarity for Cuthbert: “You can’t hold back when you’re doing horror....

Why it’s essential viewing Warner Bros. Pictures When “The Batman” sets us down in Gotham City, it feels like the first time we’ve truly been back there since the 2000s (at least 2008, if not 2005). “The Dark Knight Rises” looked to “A Tale of Two Cities” for inspiration — you can see it in what “The Wire” once called “the Dickensian aspect” — but it was really the tale of two or more recognizable shooting locations....

The Real Life Inspiration For Tom Cruise’s Days Of Thunder Character Paramount By Anthony Crislip/March 16, 2022 12:30 pm EST “Top Gun” was the highest grossing movie of 1986, a massive success that gave the audience hunger for more, and the showmen behind it proudly acquiesced. Star Tom Cruise, whose ascension at the tail end of the ‘80’s owed quite a bit to “Top Gun,” would get inspired while driving practice laps in Daytona with his “Color of Money” co-star Paul Newman....

The death of the gods The cast of “Thor: Love and Thunder” includes Chris Hemsworth as Thor (or maybe we’ll start calling him Odinson now?), Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie, the King of New Asgard, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster / Mighty Thor, Christian Bale as Gorr the God Butcher, Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star-Lord, Jaimie Alexander as Sif, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, and Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket....

Up-And-Coming Black Directors That Will Help Shape The Future Of Entertainment Netflix By Shania Russell/March 1, 2022 6:00 pm EST Hollywood has a deplorable record when it comes to representing Black experiences onscreen, largely because the pool of creatives inundated with opportunities is supremely lacking in diversity. With white gatekeepers aplenty, it’s fallen to Black filmmakers themselves to break down barriers and create opportunities for new voices to run wild. The late ’80s through the ’90s were a golden age for Black entertainment, with superstars like Wesley Snipes, Samuel L....

Alfonso Herrera’s Career Before Ozark Netflix Herrera’s IMDb bio pegs him as “one of Latin America’s widely-known talents,” and he’s not just known for his acting. He actually got his start as a singer before crossing over into film and television work. His screen debut, 20 years ago, in the 2002 romantic drama “Amar te duele” won him the Favorite Villain award at the MTV Movie Awards Mexico. From there, Herrera achieved more global recognition in the Mexican telenovela, or soap opera, “Rebelde,” which also spun off into more musical success for him....

Would Die For Eagly: An Ode To Recent Superhero Pet Sidekicks Disney / HBO Max By Ben F. Silverio/Jan. 16, 2022 1:08 pm EST Before returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to regale the world with the next chapter of the Guardians of the Galaxy’s story, James Gunn stuck around the DC Extended Universe after “The Suicide Squad” to give us the vulgar, violent, and venerable spinoff “Peacemaker.” The HBO Max series follows former WWE Champion John Cena as he reprises his role as Christopher Smith aka Peacemaker, Task Force X’s resident weapons expert, black ops extraordinaire, and top tier a-hole....

All The Old Knives Review: Chris Pine And Thandiwe Newton Are Terrific In This Somewhat Unmemorable Thriller By Witney Seibold/April 6, 2022 12:00 pm EST Janus Metz’s “All the Old Knives” exists comfortably at the intersection between airport novels and the works of Claire Denis. It is downbeat, emotionally intense, and only slowly reveals its plot — told wildly out of chronological order, often inserting flashbacks inside of flashbacks — over the course of its first 45 minutes....

Lalo’s lookalike AMC Season 5 concluded with drug lord/fast food franchiser Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) finally having enough of the always-unsettling Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), acting head of the Salamanca family. Gus had Nacho (Michael Mando) working as a spy in Lalo’s operation, and by the season finale, things had been put in place to have Nacho infiltrate Lalo’s house in Chihuahua to pave the way for a team of assassins....

Easter Eggs You May Have Missed In Scream Dimension Films By Lex Briscuso/Jan. 15, 2022 1:33 pm EST As we’ve come to know over the years, one of the best parts of the “Scream” franchise is the meta element. The focus on the “rules” of horror movies and the commentary on the genre at large is what makes the franchise so lovable, and to see ourselves as fans reflected back at us in such an iconic and memorable way is what keeps us coming back....

Every Streamer Wants Their Own Tiger King, And Buddy, You’re Not Getting Your Own Tiger King Netflix By Danielle Ryan/May 2, 2022 1:00 pm EST The day was March 20, 2020. Millions of Americans were either under a stay-at-home order or were soon to be under one as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Things were, frankly, a little scary, and many turned to entertainment in an attempt to not think about the rising death tolls....

Horizon Zero Dawn And Gran Turismo TV Shows In The Works Sony Interactive Entertainment By Jeremy Mathai/May 26, 2022 12:33 pm EST Are video game adaptations The Next Big Thing in Hollywood? The jury’s still out from a quality point of view, at least based on recent efforts, but studios definitely aren’t going to let this potential moneymaking machine slip through their fingers without a fight! That’s the impression I’m getting from today’s news that popular video game franchises “Horizon Zero Dawn” and “Gran Turismo” have become two of the latest properties to receive the green light for eventual television adaptations....

Lux Aeterna Trailer: Into The Cinema Inferno Yellow Veil Pictures By Danielle Ryan/April 5, 2022 4:19 pm EST Controversial cinema creator Gaspar Noé knows how to make audiences uncomfortable. His 2019 film “Lux Æterna” got a lot of love at the Cannes Film Festival, but pandemic-related delays pushed off a U.S. release. Now, three years later, the trailer for this bizarre and brutal film is finally here, celebrating the fact that it will be coming to theaters in New York and Los Angeles this May, with plans for an additional rollout thereafter....

Mad Max: Fury Road Would’ve Starred Eminem In A Weird Alternate Universe Warner Bros By Eric Vespe/Feb. 10, 2022 10:17 am EST It’s hard to remember that before “Mad Max: Fury Road” hit the scene — and blew the bloody doors off every theater where it screened — that the whole development of the movie was friggin’ bonkers. There were Terry Gilliam-level natural disasters that plagued the production, in-fighting with the two leads, skyrocketing budgets, extensive reshoots, and I’m sure a nervous breakdown or two....
