Scream 2022 Tickets Now On Sale, Special Fan Event Announced Paramount Pictures By Ryan Scott/Dec. 17, 2021 5:43 pm EST Alright horror fans, bust out those wallets and carve out some time on the ol’ calendar because tickets for the new “Scream” have officially gone on sale. Indeed, Paramount Pictures has released advance tickets for what might be the most-anticipated horror movie of 2022, as the franchise has been away for a decade but is finally ready to make its return, with the original cast in tow....

Altered Carbon Netflix If you loved Josephus Miller on “The Expanse” and need more hard-boiled detectives in your science fiction, then “Altered Carbon” is for you. “Altered Carbon,” which starred Joel Kinnaman (“The Suicide Squad,” “RoboCop”) in its first season, is a cyberpunk thriller set 300 years in the future, where human memories can be downloaded into new bodies called “sleeves.” Takeshi Kovacs, an ex-soldier and former revolutionary turned criminal, is resurrected 250 years after being imprisoned by Laurens Bancroft, one of the richest men in the world, and is recruited to solve Bancroft’s own murder (“murder” gets a whole lot more complex when you can make a backup of yourself, as Banecroft conveniently did just before getting killed)....

That Bathtub Scene In A Quiet Place Was As Brutal As It Looks Paramount By Jeremy Mathai/March 23, 2022 10:43 am EST In an ironic juxtaposition with the whisper-heavy premise of the film, “A Quiet Place” burst onto the scene with much fanfare in 2018 and did what so few original movies could do in recent years — come out of nowhere, rely on strong marketing and the strength of its original premise, and find blockbuster-level success at the box office....

SPOILERS! The character in question ABC In “Multiverse of Madness,” Chiwetel Ejiofor returns as Mordo, but this is an alternate universe version of Mordo who belongs to a secret organization of randomly assorted superheroes called The Illuminati. The group has a long and textured history in their comic book form, but in the movie, they appear largely as a fun excuse to throw in some fan-favorite cameos. Mordo introduces them one by one, starting with the character of Black Bolt (Anson Mount), who previously appeared on the largely forgotten 2017 TV series “Inhumans....

Mayor Don Mitchell Jr. Warner Bros. When we first see Mayor Don Mitchell Jr. (Rupert Penry-Jones), he’s playing with his son. When we next see Mayor Don Mitchell Jr., he’s toying with Gotham citizens — pitting them against Candidate Rèal and praising the Renewal project on television. And y’know what’s gross? There’s little difference between these events. At their core, they’re both power fantasies which Mitchell facilitates. He makes his son feel invincible and Gotham’s people empowered....

Wait, Did Spider-Man: No Way Home Just Mess With Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Trilogy? Marvel By Valerie Ettenhofer/Dec. 21, 2021 2:26 pm EST If you’ve already cried your way through “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in theaters this weekend, you might find yourself with some questions once the tears dry. The third Marvel Cinematic Universe “Spider-Man” movie is thrilling, heartbreaking, and full of cheer-inspiring surprises, but it also deals with some pretty lofty concepts....

What Excited Obi-Wan Kenobi Villain Moses Ingram The Most About Joining The Star Wars Universe Lucasfilm By Lyvie Scott/May 19, 2022 3:07 pm EST It’s been almost 20 years, but Ewan McGregor is finally returning as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. With his return in the new Disney+ series — and the return of Darth Vader as well — comes the introduction of a few new characters. Moses Ingram joins the fray as Reva, an inquisitor working under Vader, and determined to bring Kenobi out of his self-imposed exile on Tatooine....

Why Stuart Gordon Chose To Adapt Re-Animator For His First Movie Empire International Pictures By Miyako Pleines/March 24, 2022 11:14 am EST Whenever I think of Stuart Gordon’s “Re-animator,” I think of severed heads. Dr. Hill and his noggin made a distinct impression on me the very first time I watched the film. There are so many things to love about this story that revolves around a mad Dr.Frankenstein-esque scientist named Herbert West, but one of my absolute favorite things is the way Gordon manages to inject the goofiest, crassest humor into an already bizarre film....

4 Actors We’d Want To See Play Young Al Pacino In A Heat Prequel Warner Bros. By Erin Brady/June 21, 2022 2:58 pm EST If you haven’t yet heard the news, Michael Mann’s “Heat” is getting a follow-up. While in the form of a novel and not a new movie, it will still follow the events of his 1995 crime classic, centering once again around LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) and criminal mastermind Neil McCauley (Robert DeNiro)....

Death On The Nile Trailer: Yes, This Movie Is Still Coming Out 20th Century Studios By Sandy Schaefer/Dec. 21, 2021 12:42 pm EST Yes, Disney and 20th Century Studios are still planning to release “Death on the Nile” in theaters and have issued a new trailer to promote the film. But before we address the elephant (check that, multiple elephants) in the room, here’s a refresher on what this movie is: “Death on the Nile” is based on the 1937 murder mystery novel by Agatha Christie, yet acts as a sequel to 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express,” itself adapted from Christie’s book about the world-renowned detective Hercule Poirot....

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Spoiler Review: Half Of A Fun Sam Raimi Movie Disney By Josh Spiegel/May 9, 2022 9:00 am EST “Are you happy?” It’s a question that is asked both of and by Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) throughout the new Marvel Cinematic Universe entry “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” The simplicity of the question could just as easily be posed to a certain subset of film fan — those of us who may be a bit more intrigued by the umpteenth MCU movie not for the presence of Cumberbatch or Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, but for the man behind the camera, director Sam Raimi....

You Don’t Turn Your Back on (Fast) Family Universal Elaborating on the matter, Johnson expressed his distaste for the way Diesel tried to pull him back into the “Fast & Furious” fray by claiming that his kids refer to The Rock as “Uncle Dwayne,” before adding that his appeal is his way of trying to “fulfill my promise to Pablo” (Diesel’s nickname for the late Paul Walker). As Johnson put it:...

Being a woman in the Crawley family sucks PBS Cora has proven herself useful in “Downton Abbey,” whether it’s investing herself in the local hospital or attempting to keep the family together with the strongest of bandages, but frankly, her predicament is less than favorable, especially since Robert had originally married her for her money to keep Downton afloat. The hothead would practically be nothing without her, financially and emotionally. While speaking with Variety, McGovern reiterates the depths of inequality in her place among the Crawleys:...

Extrapolations: Diane Lane, Murray Bartlett, And More Board Star-Studded Apple TV+ Anthology Series Hulu By Jenna Busch/Jan. 29, 2022 11:25 am EST Did the film “Don’t Look Up” not have enough stars for you? I’m not sure how that’s possible, but I’m not judging you. Fear not, celebrity-loving friends! There is a show coming out that has even more. So many stars it makes my head spin a bit. There are eight new cast members for the upcoming series “Extrapolations” over at Apple, according to Variety....

Guillermo Del Toro Has Been Fighting To Adapt This Book For 15 Years Andrea Raffin/Shutterstock By Miyako Pleines/Feb. 24, 2022 10:25 am EST H.P. Lovecraft’s novella, “At the Mountains of Madness,” is no stranger to rejection. Initially pitched to the sci-fi magazine “Weird Tales” in 1931, it was rejected by the publisher for being too long. Several decades later, filmmaker and horror auteur Guillermo del Toro has been trying to adapt this same story about an ambitious team of arctic explorers into a feature film, but he’s long had troubles convincing major studios to back it....

Halle Berry Suggests Her John Wick Character May Get Her Own Spin-Off Lionsgate By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 3, 2022 11:11 am EST It can feel all but impossible to pick a runaway MVP from any of the individual “John Wick” films. The original movie that jumpstarted the popular action franchise in the first place boasts a perfectly “Love to hate” villain in Alfie Allen (who perfected that particular art as Theon in “Game of Thrones”), a terrifying Michael Nyqvist who gave us that memorable line delivery of “Oh” (which first alerted us to the aura and mystique of Wick), and even Willem Dafoe fitting in perfectly in the “Wick”-verse as a grizzled assassin....
