The Concept Art is Gorgeous Warner Bros./Variety While an anime version of Middle-earth seems like a surprising next step for the frequently live-action media franchise, Variety has also shared an exclusive first look at the project that seems to stay true to the spirit of Peter Jackson’s beloved original trilogy. The gorgeous concept art shows a vast and crowded battlefield, with soldiers in the distance and a closer group, including an Oliphaunt decked out for battle, in the foreground....

Nope First Look: We Get The Tiniest Peek At Jordan Peele’s New Movie Ahead Of Super Bowl Trailer Universal By Sandy Schaefer/Feb. 8, 2022 1:05 pm EST There aren’t too many filmmakers working these days who can sell an original movie based on their involvement alone, but Jordan Peele is absolutely one of them. The “Key & Peele” co-creator is currently preparing for the release of “Nope,” his third feature as a director after “Get Out” and “Us,” and so far, that’s basically all we know about it....

Meet the Abbotts Prime Video In “Outer Range,” Brolin is just the tip of the iceberg for a strong ensemble that has helped the show get by since its premiere four weeks ago. Showrunner Brian Watkins leads the writers’ room, and he has assembled a cast that includes breakout performers like Tamara Podemski, who holds First Nations ancestry, along with other familiar character actors like Will Patton. The always-reliable Lili Taylor (“The Addiction”) plays Royal’s devout wife, Cecilia, and Tom Pelphrey and Lewis Pullman play his sons, Perry and Rhett....

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) United Artists Any number of James Bond films could occupy a place on this list, from the death-defying 180-degree spin in “The Man With the Golden Gun” all the way through to the epic chase in “No Time To Die.” However, our pick is one that has everything: a car full of gadgets, gun-wielding henchmen, a murderous motorcyclist with an explosive sidecar, a particularly adept helicopter pilot, and even divers armed with spearguns, all of whom are dispatched with Roger Moore’s trademark nonchalance and arched eyebrow....

The Animated Batman Beyond Movie Had To Be Re-Cut From PG-13 To G Warner. Bros By Ernesto Valenzuela/June 29, 2022 12:27 pm EST When it comes to Batman, there are hardly any other comic book properties that rival his sheer amount of adaptations. The amount of television series, games, and films that audiences have access to about the Caped Crusader is astonishing. Some stand out more than others, and in the case of animated adaptations, the history and distribution of the movie “Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker” is just as intriguing as anything involving Ben Affleck’s Batman in Zack Snyder’s DC Extended Universe....

The Doc Has An Impressive Roster Warner Bros. Hawke will use archival interview footage, but will also have modern actors voice transcription from interviews for which there is no available footage. He has reportedly recruited a team of actors including Oscar Isaac, George Clooney, Laura Linney, and more to bring the project to life. “The Last Movie Stars” seems poised to cover much of Newman’s and Woodwards’ lives together beyond the memoir project....

The Moment Mark Hamill Knew He Wanted To Be A Voice Actor Lionsgate/History By Sandy Schaefer/April 5, 2022 11:35 am EST If it weren’t for his role as Luke Skywalker in a little franchise called “Star Wars,” Mark Hamill would easily be better-known for the many, many famous characters he’s brought to life as a voice actor than a live-action performer. Moreover, Hamill knew he wanted to do voice acting as a job at a very young age, well before he picked up a lightsaber and piloted an X-Wing fighter for the first time....

Home Alone: All the Facts First up, a new edition of The Deets from Disney+ goes behind the scenes of the original “Home Alone,” the classic holiday comedy written by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus. Did you know a record-breaking blizzard hit Chicago just as production was about to begin on the movie? That doesn’t sound too bad for a movie that takes place during Christmas, but it required 375 tons of snow to be moved to make shooting easier....

The Offer Trailer: The Making Of The Godfather Is A Story You Can’t Refuse Paramount By Danielle Ryan/Feb. 1, 2022 3:37 pm EST Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” is one of the all-time classic mob movies, and it’s frequently cited as one of the greatest movies ever made. The making of “The Godfather” was notoriously tricky, as Hollywood was skeptical about gangster movies in the 1970s and the Italian-American community was fighting back against some of the unsavory depictions seen in mob films....

The colorful showroom, the prestigious trophies, the informative commentary, and of course, the doggos. The Westminster Kennel Club, the American Kennel Club, all kinds of fancy-sounding institutions clear out the floor where citizens from all walks of life compete alongside their beloved, expensive pets for the ultimate honor in dog supremacy: Best in Show....

The Terminal List Review: Chris Pratt Leads An Offensively Bad Military Thriller Prime Video By Valerie Ettenhofer/June 27, 2022 12:00 pm EST There’s a term used in some corners of the internet, particularly fan spaces, that’s so perfectly specific that it as of yet has no standard English counterpart. It’s the phrase “poor little meow meow,” and it’s a sometimes sarcastic term of endearment applied to characters or celebrities who commit terrible acts yet somehow end up lionized and even seen as victims....

About last night… Comedy Central Speaking to Vulture, Hader tried to come up with his favorite episode of the show. Though he didn’t pinpoint a specific one, he did name-drop some of his favorites. “One that came out a couple years ago really made me laugh was the one where Butters’s parents think he’s gay and they send him to the Christian camp. The whole opening with Cartman saying, “Oh, you guys, you guys, I took a picture of Butters’s dick in my mouth!...

Why Ally Sheedy Is Surprised The Breakfast Club Is Still Such A Beloved Movie Universal Pictures By BJ Colangelo/May 3, 2022 2:10 pm EST Until very recently, filmmaker John Hughes was viewed as an untouchable icon.

15 21st Century Slasher Movies You Need To See Netflix By Chad Collins/Feb. 28, 2022 4:20 pm EST Prior to the past several years, slasher movies were all but dead. Unlike the unstoppable killers at its core, always rising for one last scare, the subgenre seemed to be down for good. Largely introduced in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” and Michael Powell’s “Peeping Tom” in the early 1960s, slasher movies came into their own in the following decade....

Becoming A Director Was Never On Alex Garland’s Agenda Paramount Pictures By Kaylee Dugan/June 24, 2022 10:32 am EST Alex Garland is tired, and I can’t really blame him. Who among us isn’t working a job that’s close enough to what we love, but that manages to drain us to our very core? I mean, probably lots of people are just working their dream jobs and having a blast, and I’ve definitely felt that way, but the winds have changed and times are weird and now I’m only dreaming about turning into Jimmy Buffett and owning multiple yachts....

‘How do I try to keep my point of view in tact, while also admitting that I do want to relate to commercial film in a real, tangible way?’ Congratulations on the movie. I feel like it’s an achievement to get any movie made right now, but especially something like this. “Big Gold Brick” is not an impenetrable art house movie, but I wouldn’t call it a traditional or formulaic film, either....
