IMAX Sees The Streaming Future, Could Pivot To Concerts And Live Events Warner Bros. By Jenna Busch/Feb. 23, 2022 8:00 pm EST IMAX: It isn’t just for movies anymore! It’s hardly news that movie theater attendance is down since the pandemic. We have most films and TV series at our fingertips on streaming services in our homes, and we don’t have to socially distance there. We can pause to use the bathroom, get snacks, or deal with kids....

‘Fell off the goddamn couch’ United Artists Lemmon’s initial excitement wasn’t deflated when he received the first sixty pages of Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond’s script. If anything, he was overjoyed, he told TASCHEN: “I fell off the goddamn couch, literally, fell off the couch. They were the greatest sixty pages I ever read. I went into his office and I told him so, I said, ‘Where’s the rest of these?...

More Than Robots Director Gillian Jacobs Wants To Share Her Passion For Learning [Interview] Disney By Danielle Ryan/March 16, 2022 10:16 am EST On NBC’s “Community,” Gillian Jacobs played the good-hearted but dim-witted Britta Perry, whose passion for making the world a better place often earned her the ire of her study group. Jacobs herself has that same passion, though it’s tempered by a good deal of common sense, as Jacobs is significantly smarter than her Greendale counterpart....

Queer As Folk First Look: Peacock’s Reboot Premieres This June NBCUniversal By Witney Seibold/April 13, 2022 5:55 pm EST “Queer as Folk” began its life in 1999 as a British soap opera created by Russel T Davies, a TV impresario who would go on to achieve fame reviving “Doctor Who.” The series would be remade in America in 2000 and run on Showtime, quickly becoming the network’s biggest hit. The British series only ran for one year, but the American version ran for five seasons, bringing the stories of its queer characters into the mainstream....

Robert Pattinson And Matt Reeves Explain How You Find A Batman Voice Warner Bros. Pictures By Jenna Busch/Feb. 16, 2022 10:55 am EST When you’re cast in the role of Batman, there is a lot to think about. How do I balance the personalities of Bruce Wayne and Batman? Which one is really the disguise? How will I do the Batman voice and make it my own? How do I pee in the Batsuit?...

Robin Williams Had Matt Damon In Tears On The First Day Of Filming Good Will Hunting Miramax By Christian Gainey/March 28, 2022 10:31 am EST “Good Will Hunting” is one of the greatest movies of the late ’90s, and that means something coming from me because I’m a complete nostalgic sucker for the movies of that decade. If you’re weary about trusting a stranger’s opinion on the internet, and I can’t blame you, the Academy agreed with me and gave the movie nine Oscar nominations....

Spider-Man: No Way Home Knows The Greatest Spidey Villain Is Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin Sony Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 18, 2021 2:57 pm EST Warning: General spoilers for “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will follow. In case it wasn’t obvious before that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been cursed with a villain problem, the release of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” indirectly turns that narrative into, essentially, actual MCU canon. I mean, what else would you call bringing back five villains from prior “Spider-Man” films — Rhys Ifans’ Dr....

After picking up the Noomi Rapace witch saga “You Won’t Be Alone” ahead of the festival, Focus Features is closing out the fest with another investment. Variety reports that the distributor bought the rights to quirky comedy “Brian and Charles” on Friday....

The 15 Best Star Wars Comics You Need To Read Marvel Comics By Liam Gaughan/Jan. 25, 2022 9:38 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Ever since the original “Star Wars” hit theaters in May of 1977, creative artists outside of the film production team have been eager to tell stories set in a galaxy far, far away. The original “Episode IV: A New Hope” was adapted as a six-part Marvel comic book series by superstars Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, hooking fans with the teaser “Luke Skywalker: Will He Save The Galaxy or Destroy It?...

The Best Movies And TV Shows Leaving Netflix In February 2022 Tri-Star Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 19, 2022 9:30 pm EST We’re already over halfway through the first month of 2022, a truly absurd fact where time feels meaningless and I could have sworn that 2020 was, like, five years ago. For our snowbound friends, we’re inching closer towards springtime with every passing day, but fortunately, you can always count on Netflix to give you plenty of options to binge-watch until your eyeballs fall out and roll away like that old Chef Boyardee commercial from 2004....

The Dollars Must Flow As Dune Finally Crosses $400 Million At The Box Office Warner Bros. By Ryan Scott/Feb. 15, 2022 2:52 pm EST Five months after the movie first started making its way in theaters across the world, “Dune” has finally crossed a major box office milestone (of the pandemic era, anyway). The Warner Bros. and Legendary adaptation of Frank Herbert’s famed sci-fi novel has officially crossed the $400 million mark at the global box office....

The Setup Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn), a well-known actress, moved to Georgetown with her 12-year-old daughter, Regan (Linda Blair), for a new film she was shooting. Life seemed idyllic, and the two had a very clear bond with a loving relationship. Then, one day, Regan starts complaining that her bed keeps shaking, waking her up. There are strange noises coming from the attic. Rats, Chris presumes. Progressively, the situation worsens so much so that they can only turn to one person for help — the Exorcist....

The world needs more heroes and also hero therapists Boom! Studios The comic series ran from 2009 to 2012, and it was fantastic. I love the idea that someone we look up to is not only imperfect, but that they also deal with pressures. We’ve certainly seen what happens when motives for superheroes aren’t exactly pristine as we do in “The Boys,” but this one speaks to the pressures of saving the world....

There Was An Actual Mutiny On The Set Of Meatballs Paramount By Bill Bria/April 15, 2022 12:53 pm EST 1979’s “Meatballs” is part of the wave of ribald, anarchic comedies to come out of the late ’70s and early ’80s in the wake of shows like “NBC’s Saturday Night” and movies like “National Lampoon’s Animal House.” These comedies would often have an anarchic air about them, seen in their transgressive humor as well as their plot structure, which typically emphasized a “slobs vs....

Three Thousand Years Of Longing Trailer: Idris Elba Is A Djinn With A Past In George Miller’s Fantasy MGM By Sandy Schaefer/May 20, 2022 12:06 pm EST Seven years after blowing our collective socks off with 2015’s rip-roaring “Mad Max: Fury Road,” George Miller — who, let it never be forgotten, also directed “Babe: Pig in the City” and “Happy Feet” 1 & 2 — is finally back with a new movie titled “Three Thousand Years of Longing....

A dull central focus HBO Max The ensemble cast ends up getting much more to do over the course of the episodes following the first one, which only throws into sharper relief the reality that Elgort is the odd man out. It’s not just that Elgort’s performance is weak relative to the rest of the ensemble, though that can’t be ignored. In the excellent “West Side Story,” Elgort’s flatness as a performer felt like an appropriate fit to the bland, Romeo-esque romantic archetype he embodied....

Westworld Actor Luke Hemsworth Wants To Fight Dragons In The Show HBO By Danielle Ryan/June 22, 2022 10:00 am EST The actors on the HBO series “Westworld” can go through a lot of different experiences since there’s the potential to play multiple versions of the same character. Perhaps even more fun than that, however, is the chance to explore a variety of different settings through the Delos parks. Season 1 showed us the titular Westworld, but we also know there’s a Samurai World from season 2, and some sort of World War II World in season 3, so the possibilities are endless....

What We Do In The Shadows Made Matt Berry Face One Of His Worst Fears FX By Anthony Orlando/May 4, 2022 11:11 am EST Created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, “What We Do in the Shadows” follows a group of vampires living in modern-day Staten Island, all filmed in a mockumentary style similar to the “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.” The show is filled with many memorable and hilarious characters, such as Nandor the Relentless, Nadja of Antipaxos, and the Dilbert-looking energy vampire, Colin Robinson....
