Crimes Of The Future Trailer: Body Horror Maestro David Cronenberg Is Back Neon By BJ Colangelo/May 6, 2022 12:09 pm EST Director David Cronenberg is back in a very big way with his return to body horror, “Crimes of the Future.” Cronenberg cut his teeth in genre films and became a master of horror for films like “The Fly,” “Videodrome,” “Scanners,” and “Crash,” but “Crimes of the Future” is the first horror feature since 1999’s “eXistenZ” to be both written and directed by the Canadian maestro....

JOE vs CAROLE Trailer ​​"The story you know was only half the tale," the “Joe vs Carole” teaser promises. Personally, everything I know about the saga of Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin comes from memes, bizarre out-of-context images, and that very catchy TikTok song. But we’re well past the point of avoiding these two internet sensations. Clearly, we’re entering the era of the “Tiger King” extended universe because Peacock isn’t the only streaming service cashing in on this dramatic tale....

Wayne barely appeared and had no lines United Artists A few months after John Wayne wrapped on “McLintock!” at the beginning of 1963, The Duke jumped into his next project. But this was no ordinary project and no ordinary circumstances for a Hollywood icon. According to Michael Munn’s book “John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth,” the role was a small cameo with no lines. In the first-century epic “The Greatest Story Ever Told” Wayne played a Roman Centurion who ushers Jesus as he carries the cross to Calvary....

Honestly, being sick and lying in the middle of a field is probably better than dealing with families on vacation, so the triceratops probably comes out on top here....

“We’re Not Resting on Our Laurels” Netflix Marshall went on to clarify that he and the other creatives on the “Jurassic” property intend to pause and take stock of where things are at after “Dominion” hits theaters — which could mean more movies set in the “Jurassic” universe. In doing so, he also name-dropped the animated TV series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous” (which debuted its fourth season just last month) as another part of the franchise to keep an eye on:...

Killing Eve Almost Had A Darker Ending, And That Might Have Been Better BBC America By Shania Russell/May 5, 2022 12:59 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the ending of “Killing Eve.” Endings are never easy, least of all when they involve bidding farewell to a beloved TV series. For fans of the sexy cat-and-mouse murder saga, “Killing Eve,” waving goodbye to Sandra Oh’s British Intelligence operative Eve Polastri and her sociopathic assassin-girlfriend Villanelle (Jodie Comer) was always a tough pill to swallow, but after four seasons of watching them fall in love, yearn, and try not to kill each other (for the most part), the time had come....

Strange And Wong Meet America Chavez In New Doctor Strange 2 Image Walt Disney Pictures / Marvel Studios By Shania Russell/Feb. 15, 2022 11:11 am EST Thanks to all the big game day trailers, it’s starting to feel like Marvel is chucking out new movies and TV series left and right. The hype train for both “Moon Knight” and the forthcoming “Doctor Strange” sequel has very much left the station, partially because the projects promise a new crop of characters and world-shattering consequences for the entire MCU....
