A Booming Transformation HBO The historical context of “The Gilded Age” is a layered one, as it was a period of intense socio-economic change, which ushered in the creation of brand new systems and the shattering of old ones. This immense sea of change forms the backdrop of the show, which opens in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), who makes a move from rural Pennsylvania to New York after the death of her father....

More About Red’s Post Prison Life Castle Rock Entertainment In the first deleted sequence, we’re treated to more glimpses of Red’s post-prison life. In the final cut of the film, these are more quick and made for a montage narrated by Red as he explains how different his life is outside of prison. The deleted scenes, on the other hand, take up several minutes of time, which is seemingly why they were pulled, as Darabont felt it took away from the flow of the ending....

What It Brought to the Genre Lionsgate “Near Dark’s” primary influence on vampire film is syncretism, which is a fancypants way of saying that it took existing elements of disparate things and fused them into something new and entirely different. It went back beyond the decadent aristocrats of the late 19th century to the undead things scuttling around Eastern European graveyards and combined them with the drifters and lowlifes roving around the American Southwest in the 1970s....

By Debopriyaa Dutta/June 7, 2022 12:54 pm EST When Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns” came out in 1992, the superhero film was deemed too dark and violent by most critics, despite being praised for its nuanced portrayal of the inhabitants of Gotham city. The “darker” aspects of the film that were considered extremely skewed at the time have obviously undergone a reappraisal over the years, especially after the release and explosive success of Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” which amps up fantastical, gothic elements like never before....

Could Sony’s Bungie Acquisition Mean A Destiny Movie Is On The Table? Bungie By Eric Vespe/Feb. 1, 2022 9:18 am EST Yesterday saw a huge bombshell drop in the gaming world. Hot on the heels of Microsoft buying up Activision/Blizzard (“World of Warcraft” and “Overwatch”) and Bethesda Game Studios (“Elder Scrolls” and “Fallout”), Sony made a big multi-billion dollar move of their own, snatching up Bungie, the developer behind the original “Halo” games and “Destiny....

David Gordon Green Is Co-Writing A Children’s Book Called Let’s Make A Movie oes/Shutterstock By Jenna Busch/March 23, 2022 9:10 pm EST I love the idea of taking filmmaking down to a kid’s level. I’ve read a whole lot of books on the subject, despite the fact that I don’t, in fact, make any films myself or wish to anymore. As I live with a filmmaker, and spend my life interviewing other filmmakers, I am very much in awe of the insane level of craft and talent that goes into it, no matter what the outcome is, or the budget that is being worked with....

We’ve had “Star Wars” projects that just about everyone seems to love (“Star Wars Rebels”), ones that nobody can agree on (“Star Wars: The Last Jedi”), and ones that fans seem to think are, you know, okay, but definitely could’ve been better (“Solo: A Star Wars Story”)....

Halo Dives Into The Master Chief’s Past With A Wheel-Spinning Second Episode Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/March 31, 2022 9:00 am EST In a lot of ways, second episodes can be even tougher to pull off than series premieres. The sheer amount of introductions, backstory, world-building, and tone-setting that all need to be established in such a short amount of time can easily command the majority of the creative team’s attention and help paper over any potential misgivings....

How Realistic Are Robots In Movies Like Terminator And Ex Machina? A24, Universal Pictures By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/July 1, 2022 2:30 pm EST Robots have been a point of intrigue in both real life and entertainment media since before robots as we know them today even existed.
