Bodkin: Everything We Know So Far 20th Television By Jenna Busch/June 17, 2022 8:15 pm EST Netflix, Higher Ground and wiip have just announced the cast for the upcoming series “Bodkin.” It’s a working title, but an evocative one if you know what it means. The series is set in Ireland and it’s a comedic thriller involving a disappearance that turns into something more. It does make sense that it’s called “Bodkin” if that something more turns out to be murder....

Ortega/Getty Images By Sandy Schaefer/Feb. 11, 2022 10:49 am EST If there’s anyone who knows their queer horror, it’s Bryan Fuller.

Everything To Watch (And Read And Play) Before Obi-Wan Kenobi Lucasfilm By Bryan Young/May 18, 2022 9:00 am EST Obi-Wan Kenobi has a long history. As a character from the original “Star Wars” film, he’s been around since the beginning and, as one of the older characters in that film, he had the longest history there. When we’re first introduced to him, we see him in exile on Tatooine, watching over Luke Skywalker in case the Sith discovered him, talking about his glory days as a Jedi Knight....
Gentleman Jack Struggles To Rise Above Hate In I Can Be As A Meteor In Your Life HBO By Shania Russell/May 30, 2022 11:00 pm EST Initially, the second season of “Gentleman Jack” felt so much lighter than the first. There were moments in the debut season when Ann Walker’s (Sophie Rundle) mental health and interfering family members felt like insurmountable issues that even Anne Lister (Suranne Jones) couldn’t overcome. But against all odds, the two women pushed through together and emerged victorious....
Here’s How Andor Season 2 Will Lead Into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Lucasfilm By Erin Brady/July 5, 2022 1:25 pm EST Much like the now-wrapped “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the next “Star Wars” series will focus on another fan-favorite character. “Andor” will focus on the titular Rebellion spy (Diego Luna), introduced in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” but don’t expect the series to stick around longer than two seasons. That’s because the series, which precedes “Rogue One,” has been purposefully set up to span two seasons and 24 episodes that lead right into the events of the movie that takes place just before “Star Wars: A New Hope....
I Am Groot Animated Shorts Coming To Disney+ In August 2022 Marvel Studios By Joshua Meyer/June 5, 2022 9:38 pm EST Baby Groot, the breakout star of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” is getting his own series of animated shorts, which are set to debut on the Disney+ streaming service this summer. “I Am Groot” takes its title from the only line of dialogue that Groot ever speaks. We first heard about this series when Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige announced it at a Disney investor presentation back in December of 2020....
Wenders, Carpenter, Cronenberg RADiUS-TWC Of course, in “It Follows,” the sight of someone merely walking toward you is played for paranoia and fear, not Christ-like imagery or mystery. Mitchell admits in that same interview that such a notion — of someone waaaaaaalking toward you — terrifies him, largely based on a memorable nightmare he had as a child. But when it came to composing wide shots (“It Follows’ was filmed in a Cinemascope 2....
James Cameron Had A Problem To Solve When It Came To Promoting Avatar 20th Century Studios By Sandy Schaefer/June 22, 2022 5:34 pm EST It’s easy to forget just how risky James Cameron’s “Avatar” was back in 2009. On top of costing a pretty penny ($237 million, to be exact), it was an original genre movie coming out at a time when franchises ruled the box office almost as much as they do today....

John Krasinski and Steve Carell, who played coworkers Jim Halpert and Michael Scott in NBC’s “The Office,” respectively, will be working together in the upcoming film “If,” according to Variety.

Most Of The Biggest Box Office Bombs Of All Time Were Made After 2010 Disney By Witney Seibold/Jan. 7, 2022 9:30 am EST Children of the 1980s know of Michael Cimino’s “Heaven’s Gate” mostly as a punchline. Made for a whopping $44 million in 1980 (about $150 million in 2022 dollars), the 219-minute epic was wracked by a bad production, expensive reshoots, and scandal (Cimino was compared to a dictator and the production was notorious cruel to animals)....
Pieces Of Her Trailer: Toni Collette Is A Mom With A Dangerous Secret Past Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 16, 2022 10:07 pm EST As British novelist William Makepeace Thackeray famously once said, “Mother is God in the eyes of a child.” They also said that in “Silent Hill,” but now we’re just splitting hairs. In the newest twisted, mystery, thriller series from Netflix, the teams behind “Big Little Lies” and “The Undoing” are tackling Karin Slaughter’s New York Times–bestselling novel, “Pieces of Her....
Pinocchio First Look: Guillermo Del Toro’s Stop-Motion Animated Netflix Movie Comes To Life Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/June 14, 2022 12:24 pm EST To those looking for more of the same old takes on the “Pinocchio” story that have been done to death at this point: look away now! Director Guillermo del Toro is perhaps most well-known for exploring topics rife with gothic romance, frightening monsters, and occasionally a fish-dude who wins the affections of a human woman — “The Shape of Water,” of course, went on to win Best Picture against all odds and further bring del Toro’s unique sensibilities into the mainstream....
Stephen King’s Firestarter Trailer: Blumhouse Is Bringing The Heat With This Upcoming Remake Universal Pictures By Shania Russell/Feb. 9, 2022 12:56 pm EST Stephen King is haunting us with an explosive new nightmare, “Firestarter,” a Blumhouse and Universal film from director Keith Thomas (“The Vigil”). The story follows a young girl with pyrokinetic powers, desperately evading capture from a government agency that wants to use her gift as a weapon. If this sounds a little familiar and your mind is resurfacing memories of other stories with shady government agencies and little girls on the run, then you’re certainly on the right track....
Stranger Things Season 4, Part 1 Ending Explained: Confront Your Demons Netflix By Sandy Schaefer/June 16, 2022 12:52 pm EST In its first season, “Stranger Things” was a humble love letter to the works of Steven Spielberg and Stephen King, with more than a pinch of John Carpenter for good measure. But as the Duffer Brothers’ series sky-rocketed in popularity, so too did it grow in terms of both its scale and its retro pop culture influences, nodding to everything from 1980s teen rom-coms to “The Terminator....
The Boys Trailer Flagged For Content 20 Million Times, Probably Because Of The Octopus By Ben F. Silverio/March 21, 2022 8:37 am EST Deep blue sea Everyone’s raving that the Season 3 teaser is “deeply unhinged” and asking “what the f*ck did we just watch?” pic.twitter.com/6focVp819c — THE BOYS (@TheBoysTV) March 19, 2022 It’s currently uncertain what those content warnings could have been for. A little bathroom sex? Maybe. Some bodies bursting with buckets of blood?...
The Legendary Diane Warren Just Received Her 13th Oscar Nomination YouTube By Ben F. Silverio/Feb. 8, 2022 2:10 pm EST The term greatest of all time gets thrown around a lot. In every field, there are a number of people that could be a part of that conversation. Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Danica Patrick, and Daniel Day-Lewis are all in the mix in their respective fields. LL Cool J would probably be mentioned here too and not just because of of his 2001 song “Greatest of All Time....

Doctor Strange (2016) Marvel Studios Might as well start at the beginning, right? Horror director Scott Derrickson and writer C. Robert Cargill were originally tasked with introducing audiences to the comic book character of Stephen Strange. The origin story quickly establishes all of the basics we need to know about this character: his insufferable selfishness, casual cruelty, and his brilliance as a neurosurgeon. In a sequence that doubles as one of the MCU’s most uncomfortably real PSAs about the dangers of texting while driving (I am duty-bound to note that this meme has enjoyed a terrifically long shelf life), Strange ends up totaling his car and losing the most important thing to him in his entire career: the use of his incredibly skilled hands....
