Silverio/March 30, 2022 10:51 pm EST Shortly after Netflix announced that its Marvel shows would be leaving the streaming service, Disney revealed that Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the rest of the street-level heroes dubbed The Defenders would be setting up shop at Disney+. Along with these more mature Marvel Cinematic Universe shows, the House of Mouse introduced new parental controls for the app that allows users to set content rating restrictions and an optional PIN number for profiles....

Dune Screenwriter Eric Roth Talks About His Scrapped Opening To The Movie Warner Bros. Pictures By Debopriyaa Dutta/Feb. 22, 2022 12:06 pm EST Adapting Frank Herbert’s sprawling sci-fi saga, “Dune,” is nothing short of a Herculean task, and Denis Villeneuve succeeded in doing the same with the help of screenwriter Eric Roth. Roth is a major player in the screenwriting arena, having adapted numerous books for the screen, including “Forrest Gump,” “The Insider,” and “Munich....

Eddie Redmayne Spent Months Preparing For A Fantastic Beasts Scene We Never Saw Warner Bros. Pictures By Miyako Pleines/April 11, 2022 3:34 pm EST If you have even briefly used the internet in the last few weeks, you have no doubt seen pictures of Timothée Chalamet in his sinful Oscars red carpet attire of a Louis Vuitton sequined suit jacket worn without anything underneath. Gasp! Now, Chalamet is absolutely not the most buff actor in Hollywood, but somehow, this specific look on this specific man set the internet ablaze with excitement....

Oz the Great and Powerful – Winkie Guard Disney You’d be forgiven for forgetting about Raimi’s “Oz the Great and Powerful,” which followed James Franco as Oz, who eventually goes on to become the guy behind the curtain in “The Wizard of Oz.” The movie features Raimi’s indelible stamp, and there are plenty of great moments, but it’s mostly an odd aside in the director’s career. The Disney sensibilities didn’t really mesh with Raimi’s vision, and the result was a real mess....

Fox’s New Shows Include Rick And Morty Creator’s Krapopolis, Country Music Drama Monarch, Jon Hamm’s Grimsburg & More Adult Swim Monarch A show about a powerful family threatening to tear itself apart as old secrets are brought to light, with the children doing all they can to protect their parents’ legacy while also carving out their own? That description makes my brain immediately leap to “Succession,” though I’m guessing Susan Sarandon isn’t going to running around telling people to “F** off” whichever way she turns, as much as I am here for that....

It’s a Nolan reunion party! Warner Bros. Nolan is both writing and directing “Oppenheimer,” which adapts the Pulitzer Prize-winning non-fiction 2005 book “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by author Kai Bird and the late historian Martin J. Sherwin. Oldman and Murphy — who played Dr. Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow, in all three of Nolan’s Batman movies — are joined in the film’s cast by a number of Nolan’s other past collaborators, including the pair’s “Dark Knight Rises” co-star Matthew Modine....

Here’s When You Can Watch The Northman At Home Focus Features By Jeremy Mathai/May 10, 2022 12:41 pm EST Repeat after me one last time for posterity, everyone! I will avenge you, Father. I will save you, Mother. I will kill you, Fjölnir. Director Robert Eggers’ latest film, “The Northman,” eschewed the mostly one location-set dramas he previously released, 2015’s “The Witch” and 2019’s “The Lighthouse,” to establish itself as a significant step up for the horror filmmaker and far more epic in scope … with a budget to match, unfortunately, as evidenced by the film’s fading prospects of making a profit at the box office....

How A ‘Happy Accident’ Led To Logan Lucky’s Signature Look Bleecker Street By Lyvie Scott/April 1, 2022 11:41 am EST Steven Soderbergh is not your typical filmmaker. He’s a true renaissance man, known as much for his ability to pivot to different genres at will as he is for his dexterity in film. Soderbergh has directed, photographed, and even edited most of his films himself, often under various pseudonyms, and his distinct vision has put him on the map in a big way, especially when it comes to his underrated (but no less impactful) cinematography....

How Stranger Things Star Joe Keery Changed Steve Harrington’s Fate Netflix By Shae Sennett/June 9, 2022 6:52 pm EST Steve Harrington has become one of the staple characters of Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things,” all thanks to the stellar performance of actor Joe Keery. But Keery actually went so above and beyond for the role that the series creators, the Duffer brothers, decided to extend the part and make what was supposed to be a minor antagonist into one of the most lovable key players in the series....

Kevin Feige Says Spider-Man: No Way Home Proved That MCU Movies Can Withstand Spoiler Leaks Marvel Studios By Joshua Meyer/May 2, 2022 9:18 am EST To keep its movies from feeling like a mere promotional afterthought — spoiled and dissected to death online before they’ve even had their day in the theatrical sun — Marvel Studios has had its actors tell some white lies, and it has tried to do some misdirection in trailers....

Our Flag Means Death Teaser: Taika Waititi’s Pirate Comedy Heads To HBO Max HBO Max By Jeremy Mathai/Jan. 18, 2022 4:57 pm EST Pop culture has always been preoccupied with pirates and adventures taking place on the high seas. “Treasure Island.” “Robinson Crusoe.” “Peter Pan.” Artists have never been shy about trying to capture the freedom, the swashbuckling, even the dignity (in a manner of speaking) that pirates offer in movies, shows, and literature....

The Best TV Shows And Movies Coming To Netflix In April 2022 Warner Bros. By Mike Shutt/March 23, 2022 2:06 pm EST The revolving door of classic titles available on Netflix is always interesting. Obviously, they prioritize their original film and television shows most of all, a number of which are coming back this month (including a couple of final seasons). However, Netflix is still an important source for people to be able to access at least a few great movies before the last five years....

The Brand New Cherry Flavor Scene Fans Couldn’t Stomach Netflix By BJ Colangelo/March 21, 2022 2:53 pm EST Since the earliest days of YouTube, blind reaction challenges or the practice of recording your unfiltered response to a video you’ve never seen before, have been some of the most popular forms of interactive meme-ing. Reaction videos cover wide spectrum of subjects, including real-life violence, generational exposure to pop culture, graphic fetish pornography, or even wholesome videos of dogs reuniting with their owners after serving in the military....

The Hawkeye Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Episode 6 Disney+ By Jenna Busch/Dec. 22, 2021 6:46 pm EST Oh my Hulk, they did it! “Hawkeye” managed something no other Marvel Disney+ show has managed so far: They stuck the landing. I suppose in a way this episode did advertise the upcoming “Echo” show, but it wasn’t hammered over our heads. It didn’t look like a commercial. Alaqua Cox did more to make me want to watch it than any particular scene....

The Morning Watch: Making Of Spider-Man: No Way Home VFX, Nicolas Cage Replies To Fans Online & More Marvel Studios By Danielle Ryan/March 23, 2022 8:00 am EST (The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web.

The Movies And Shows That Kickstarted Rob Zombie’s Love Of The Horror Genre Harcourt Productions By Eric Vespe/June 28, 2022 11:38 am EST You might be surprised that a man named Robert Bartleh Cummings might be into vintage horror films and TV shows. A guy with that name is probably sitting on a yacht, reading the financial section of the Times as his butler brings out caviar and Cuban cigars on a silver platter....

The Night Of The Living Dead Cameo You Missed In Silence Of The Lambs Orion Pictures By Anya Stanley/Jan. 7, 2022 10:38 am EST Jonathan Demme’s “The Silence of the Lambs” and George A. Romero’s proto-midnight movie “Night of the Living Dead” share more than a common induction date into the Criterion Closet. The genre classics have less than six degrees of separation due to a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in Demme’s 1991 thriller, a cameo that underlines its subject’s entrenched place in the minds of moviegoers and filmmakers alike....

He was working on a movie before his death CBS Television Distribution The sci-fi sermonizer himself offered a clue to what the project might look like in a back issue of the comic book “Planet of the Apes.” The interview with Marvel Comics, released months before his death in 1975, is titled “Rod Serling Recalls.” In it, the writer looks ahead to a future project that never came to pass:...
