Wes Craven’s Cursed Is Getting A Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray Miramax Films By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 1, 2022 9:28 am EST The fine folks at Scream Factory are known for giving love and attention to horror films that time has long forgotten, and that includes critically panned 2005 werewolf films that have developed cult followings, like Wes Craven’s “Cursed.” On April 26, 2022, “Cursed” will be getting the Blu-ray treatment for the very first time, featuring a new HD transfer of both the theatrical and unrated cuts....

‘It’s always been about adapting Cortana to the environment’ Paramount+ There’s just something about blue video game characters, isn’t there? First, swift and unrelenting online outrage managed to convince the creative team behind “Sonic the Hedgehog” to completely overhaul the title character’s original (and creepy-looking) design. Only a few years later, some on social media attempted to get a similar movement going in order to “fix” Cortana in Paramount’s live-action “Halo” series....

Windfall: Release Date, Cast, And More Netflix By Miyako Pleines/March 8, 2022 1:55 pm EST The thing about being rich is that you most likely own a lot of houses. If you’re someone like Taylor Swift, you own at least eight, and they are scattered across the country like convenient pit stops on your grand tour of life itself. You can visit them whenever you want like an all-expenses paid vacations to your favorite places on a map....

You Can Buy Ian Malcolm’s Book From Jurassic Park, With A Sexy Surprise Universal Pictures By Jenna Busch/May 19, 2022 3:39 pm EST Look at the picture of Dr. Ian Malcolm from 1993’s “Jurassic Park.” Look at it! Do you feel soothed by his open-shirted chaos theory? Do you? We all need a little extra soothing these days, and if you take your soothing with a side of sexy (and a little extra creepy thrown in), do we have a toy for you!...

Better Call Saul Made Bob Odenkirk Realize Just How Hard Acting Can Be AMC/Sony Pictures Television By Kaylee Dugan/April 19, 2022 8:35 am EST There’s a certain way actors talk about their craft that can be, well, annoying. Think of the recent (but also evergreen) negative reaction to method acting, or the way you (read: me, but maybe also you) want to sigh when a person that makes more money on the regular than you’ll ever make in your life talks about how the difficulty of the craft....

Christian Bale Still Hasn’t Seen The Batman Warner Bros. By Debopriyaa Dutta/June 26, 2022 12:08 pm EST Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” brought the titular Caped Crusader to life in wildly interesting ways, painting a gritty, seedy, convincing picture of Gotham in the process. Unfortunately, Christian Bale, who played Batman in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy, hasn’t gotten the chance to experience Reeves’ iteration of the DC hero, yet. In an interview with Variety during the premiere of “Thor: Love and Thunder,” in which Bale plays the villainous Gorr the God Butcher, the actor explained why he has not gotten around to seeing “The Batman” while praising Robert Pattinson’s acting skills:...

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer Adds Jason Clarke, Now Has All The Actors Paramount Pictures By Anya Stanley/March 1, 2022 5:37 pm EST Following the sustained success of war epic “Dunkirk” and mind-melter “Tenet,” Christopher Nolan is boarding the period drama train once more with “Oppenheimer,” centered on the World War II-era physicist known as the “father of the atomic bomb.” The weapon of mass destruction is seen as the biggest and most horrific contributor to the ending of World War II, while its creator stands as a symbol of the great need for responsibility to wield such terrible, great power....

Disney’s Haunted Mansion Receives Your Sympathetic Vibrations, Will Materialize In Early 2023 Disney By Valerie Ettenhofer/Feb. 25, 2022 2:58 pm EST Disney’s new live-action “Haunted Mansion” movie officially has a release date: it’ll be scaring its way into theaters in March 2023. The news came Friday as part of a press release announcing several calendar shifts for Disney and its properties. Two untitled Searchlight projects slated for April and June 2022 have been removed from the release calendar, while “The Banshees of Inisherin” is now scheduled for a limited release on October 21 of this year....

An antithesis to the Darkhold Marvel Comics After Stephen and America meet Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who is the Sorcerer Supreme in reality 838, the latter tells them about the Book of Vishanti, describing it as an “antithesis” to the Darkhold. However, what exactly does this book of spells do, and what are its origins within the Marvel Comics mythos? While chaos magic and the darker aspects of witchcraft used by Wanda can be deemed as dark or black magic, spells used with the intention of healing, restoration, and protection are commonly termed white magic in the Marvel Comics....

Good Night, And Good Luck Took A Cue From One Of George Clooney’s Favorite Films Warner Bros. By Leigh Giangreco/May 31, 2022 5:50 pm EST Television isn’t a medium known for quiet and austerity. But when George Clooney directed his 2005 feature film, “Good Night, and Good Luck,” a Cold War thriller set in the CBS newsroom, he preferred dead air for much of his score. That film pitted revered CBS journalist Edward R....

Halo Clip: Kwan And Soren Come Up With A Plan To Finish The Fight [Exclusive] Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/May 4, 2022 3:28 pm EST After six episodes now in the books, we’re officially in the home stretch of the Paramount+ “Halo” series. The second season chronicling the adventures of the Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) has already been confirmed and set to begin filming later this summer, meaning there’s probably never been a better time to subscribe to the growing streaming service that also boasts fan-favorite selections such as “Star Trek” (with the highly-anticipated “Strange New Worlds” set to debut tomorrow, May 5) and even a new “Jackass” series....

“Humanity’s Best Weapon” Paramount+ We open on a breathtakingly alien landscape, littered with distant structures and a city on top of a striking hilltop. This isn’t “Star Wars” or “Dune,” but an unknown location set in the distant future of the “Halo” universe. The original game takes place in the year 2552, long after humanity has taken to the stars and expanded its reach to multiple planets throughout the galaxy. This outward growth into the reaches of space puts humanity on a collision course with the terrifying conglomerate of alien races known as the Covenant in the first place, which leads to the onset of a war for our very survival....

Here’s Where You Can Stream Or Buy Every Season Of Nikita The CW By BJ Colangelo/Dec. 29, 2021 12:25 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. (Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, “Hey, where can I watch this thing?” In this edition: the thrilling action series starring Maggie Q, “Nikita.”) An adaptation of Luc Besson’s French film “La Femme Nikita” and the second series adaptation after the 1997 show “La Femme Nikita,” the four season run of “Nikita” from 2010-2013 was a decent hit for The CW, and has continued to be re-appraised as one of the best action series of the 2010s....

Here’s Why John Carpenter Wrote The Theme Song For Foo Fighters Horror Film Studio 666 Open Road Films By Kaylee Dugan/Feb. 22, 2022 9:45 pm EST Two great tastes that taste great together. In a hot collab for the ages, the Foo Fighters and John Carpenter have teamed up for the upcoming dad rock horror movie “Studio 666,” and they both sound beyond pleased about it. Carpenter’s involvement in “Studio 666,” which was filmed in secret during the pandemic, gives the upcoming film an extra fairy dusting of horror movie magic....

‘Without skateboarding, there is no Jackass’ MTV I’m a huge “Wildboyz” fan, and we finally got a little bit of “Wildboyz” in “Jackass Forever.” Would you ever do “Wildboyz” again? Steve-O: I don’t think there’s a chance that I would be willing to do “Wildboyz” again, because to take that further, which is what we would always want to do, we would have to outdo what we did before. We would have to take as big or bigger risks than we did before....

Jurassic World Dominion Originally Had A Much Longer Beginning Universal Pictures By Jenna Busch/June 10, 2022 8:33 pm EST Mild spoilers for “Jurassic World Dominion” follow. Whatever your thoughts on the new film “Jurassic World Dominion” and its two-hour 27-minute runtime, you could have been watching it for even longer. I’m not talking about that five minute-long prologue that was released back in November of 2021. We could have gotten a lot more of an opening act, according to an interview that writer/director Colin Trevorrow did with The Hollywood Reporter....

Labyrinth Wasn’t Quite The Story Terry Jones Was Trying To Tell Tri-Star Pictures By Witney Seibold/June 29, 2022 1:04 pm EST Jim Henson’s 1986 fantasy film “Labyrinth” is an odd duck, and not because of its copious amount of fantasy creatures. While the film’s many passionate fans are generally drawn to David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King, the glam rocker’s presence seemed antithetical to Henson’s own musical sensibilities, which tended toward gentle folk rock and John Denver....

Lightyear Filmmakers On The Importance Of The Theatrical Experience For The Movie Disney By Debopriyaa Dutta/April 21, 2022 2:00 pm EST “Lightyear” is the “Toy Story” spin-off film no one saw coming, and director Angus MacLane has a thing or two to say about how theatrical experiences of movies are integral to appreciating the medium as a whole. In a recent press junket Q&A attended by /Film, MacLane talked about how “the world of cinema” has shifted because of the pandemic, and the importance of supporting theaters, especially right now....

‘What is Light Without Dark?’ Universal Pictures On one side you have Ridley Scott’s “Legend” which sees Curry transformed into a towering Satanic figure representing all that is rotten and evil in the world, and on the other you have Wadsworth, the hyperactive, yet instantly likable, butler in “Clue.” These two performances couldn’t be any more different, but they both encapsulate Tim Curry at his best. In “Legend,” Curry was buried beneath hours worth of makeup and prosthetics, and yet every nuanced expression and subtle facial tic showed through, bringing the entire creature to life....

Madonna Biopic Will (Probably) Star Julia Garner Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/June 7, 2022 5:49 pm EST Madonna’s self-directed biopic has been the subject of speculation for months, specifically when it comes to casting the highly-sought lead role. Now, Variety is reporting that actress Julia Garner has been offered the part of the world-famous pop star. It’s worth noting that, according to Variety, the “Ozark” and “Inventing Anna” actress hasn’t officially accepted the role yet, but the offer marks a major step forward for the film that’s been in the works since 2020....
