One Of 2001: A Space Odyssey’s Most Famous Scenes Could Have Cost The Actor His Life Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer By Miyako Pleines/March 24, 2022 11:10 am EST Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece, “2001: A Space Odyssey” is remarkable for many reasons. To this day, it is one of the largest sources of inspiration and influence for many science fiction films that have come out since its release in 1968. Even now, when watching “2001: A Space Odyssey” more than 20 years after the film’s futuristic vision of the year 2001, it does not really feel like a movie that was made in the late ’60s....

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Wraps Up Its Stories Before The Credits Roll And That Feels Amazing Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/May 19, 2022 2:00 pm EST Beam me out, Scotty! The following article contains spoilers for the first 3 episodes of “Strange New Worlds.” “Strange New Worlds” is far from the first installment of “Star Trek” to debut during something of a crossroads for the overall franchise. After all, when “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” instigated the leap from television to the big screen, only two years removed from the pop culture sensation known as “Star Wars” in 1977, it couldn’t help but come across like an impassioned argument (or, perhaps, more like stubborn insistence) that the franchise’s high-minded ideals were still relevant in a new age of pop space opera....

The 16 Most Memorable David Lynch Characters Ever De Laurentiis Entertainment Group By Joe Garza/May 12, 2022 12:01 pm EST David Lynch is, without a doubt, one of cinema’s most important directors. Over the course of a career that spans more than forty years, Lynch has given us such classic films as “The Elephant Man,” “Blue Velvet,” “Mulholland Drive,” and the beloved television series “Twin Peaks.” While most of his films have never been box office hits, he’s nonetheless garnered considerable industry love in the form of numerous award distinctions, including four Oscar nominations (as well as receiving an honorary award), nine Emmy Award nominations, and more....

The Fabulous Filipino Brothers Review: A Solid Mid-Budget Comedy That Finds Beauty In The Chaos 1091 Media By Ben F. Silverio/Feb. 9, 2022 9:00 am EST Weddings are a big deal in every culture. They’re joyous occasions that mark the joining of two lives together. But the months and weeks prior, plus the day itself, can be super crazy. Everyone involved is running around to make sure that the festivities are going as planned....

The Northman Dialogue Had To Be Changed After Confusing Test Audiences Focus Features By Debopriyaa Dutta/April 22, 2022 3:08 pm EST Robert Eggers and co-writer Sjón had to work on major parts of the script of “The Northman” after test audiences said they had a hard time understanding the dense narrative of the film, which is steeped in Norse mythology and based on one of the most famous Scandinavian sagas — the story of Amleth, prince of Denmark....

Upcoming Sports Movies To Keep On Your Radar MGM By Sandy Schaefer/Feb. 9, 2022 12:49 pm EST (Welcome to On Your Radar, a series where we take a look at what’s next for the biggest actors and filmmakers, and why you should be excited…or not.) The popularity of all genre movies ebbs and flows, and sports films are no different. Oh sure, there are the “Creed” movies, and you still get dramas like “The Way Back” every so often....

Arthur Harrow’s quest for the greater good Focus Features In “Moon Knight” episode 2, we get a little more development in the evolving relationship between Ethan Hawke’s Arthur Harrow and Oscar Isaac’s Steven Grant/Marc Spector. When Arthur encounters Steven again, it is with an air of calm as he understands the situation better, and tries to appeal to the man’s reason rather than let this devolve into a fight. As a result, Arthur takes Steven on a tour through one of his communities....

Who Is Supersonic? The Boys’ New Supe Explained Prime Video By Debopriyaa Dutta/June 3, 2022 9:50 am EST Warning: spoilers ahead for season 3 of “The Boys.” Season 3 of “The Boys,” like much of its previous run, is definitely not for the faint of heart, as it features an extremely bonkers storyline and scenes that are bound to be etched on your brain for quite some time. This particular season deals with a lot, including the return of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), Homelander (Antony Starr) being Homelander but on metaphorical steroids, and the titular boys having to deal with the same old supe stuff in markedly different ways....

Year Of The Vampire: 30 Days Of Night Tells An Ice-Cold Vampire Story Sony Pictures Releasing By Valerie Ettenhofer/April 26, 2022 12:00 pm EST (Welcome to Year of the Vampire, a series examining the greatest, strangest, and sometimes overlooked vampire movies of all time in honor of “Nosferatu,” which turns 100 this year.) You don’t realize how warm-blooded vampire movies tend to be until you find one that’s truly cold. The creatures of the night often thrive in contrast: their bloodlessness seeks our warm lifeblood, their supernatural detachment is countered by their frequent ability to seduce and compel....

‘That’s definitely the way I interpreted that’ Warner Bros. If you’ll allow me to be blunt for a moment, blockbuster movies have had a troubled history with actually taking meaningful steps for representation and inclusion — particularly when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community. Superhero movies in particular never seem willing to commit to turning the subtext of certain characters into actual text (see: Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie in “Thor: Ragnarok”) or, on the rare occasions when they actually do, the results still tend to feel somewhat … lacking....

Malcolm McDowell Warner Bros. Malcolm McDowell embodies evil. Seriously. The 78-year-old British character actor has been a go-to bad guy for decades. He played the maniacal head of Water & Power Corporation in 1995’s “Tank Girl.” He spearheaded a school rebellion in “if….,” was a malicious principal in “Easy A,” and was Rob Zombie’s personal choice to play Dr. Loomis in 2007’s “Halloween” reboot. However, none of those parts is McDowell’s most iconic contribution to cinema....

Rock Could Team Up With Other DC Characters In Future Issues Of His New Comic [Exclusive] DC Comics By Jenna Busch/June 13, 2022 5:43 pm EST You may not be familiar with the lesser-known DC Comics character Sgt. Rock, but if you’re a horror comic fan, you soon will be. The character of Sgt. Rock was created back in 1959 by Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert....

Bryan Fuller’s Christine ‘Will Be Horny As Hell’ Columbia Pictures By Eric Vespe/Dec. 22, 2021 9:19 pm EST It was announced last June that “Hannibal” and “Pushing Daisies” mastermind Bryan Fuller was attempting a new adaptation of John Carpenter’s “Christine” and Stephen King fans have been waiting for an update ever since. Well, now we’ve got a little morsel or two. Apologies in advance for the blatant self-promotion, but when I’m not writing up nerdy things for /Film I co-host a podcast called “The Kingcast” alongside Mr....

Crazy Rich Asians 2 Gets A New Writer As Original Scribes Depart Warner Bros By Ben F. Silverio/March 21, 2022 5:24 pm EST Following the massive success of “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018, Warner Bros. quickly gave the green light to adapt the other two books in author Kevin Kwan’s acclaimed series. With director Jon M. Chu and the stars, including Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Gemma Chan, Harry Shum Jr., Awkwafina, and Michelle Yeoh, set to return, “China Rich Girlfriend” and “Rich People Problems” were scheduled to shoot back to back at some point in 2020....

Doctor Strange 2 ‘Will Make Fans Of Evil Dead II Very Happy,’ Kevin Feige Teases Marvel Studios By Sandy Schaefer/March 17, 2022 12:17 pm EST It’s always a mixed blessing when either a beloved director or exciting up-and-comer signs on to helm a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie or TV show. The mega-successful property has re-vitalized the idea of studio-as-auteur in the modern era of Hollywood, to the degree that it’s hard for anyone to come in and tinker with the MCU formula (even just a little) without ruffling some feathers....

The Drama Never Stops Eddy Chen/HBO There’s still plenty of drama to get through before the show’s third season. When viewers last saw the teens of “Euphoria,” nearly all of them were at a series low point. Cassie (Sydney Sweenie) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) are conducting what may be the world’s messiest and most ill-advised affair, all while maintaining relationships with his ex and her best friend, Maddy (Alexa Demie)....

Here’s How To Make The Pizza Balls From Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Marvel Studios By Shania Russell/June 15, 2022 4:50 pm EST Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Pizza Poppa? It’s difficult to remember a time before “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” introduced the guardian angel of saucy treats into our lives, but it’s only been a little over a month since Bruce Campbell made his MCU debut as the most important character in Doctor Strange’s latest adventure....

Kolstad’s ideal hero Filmgrab In an interview with Dianne Bennett, Derek Kolstad shared some insights into his decision to make Wick an older character. While discussing his appreciation of Westerns, Kolstad noted that “the young guy always gets his backside handed to him. The old guy seems like a cynic, but he isn’t. He sees himself; he can be outside of time. He can ignore technology.” In other words, youth leads to cockiness — a potentially fatal flaw that both Wayne and Wick are old (and wise) enough to evade....
