HBO Confirms Jennifer Coolidge Will Lead White Lotus Season 2 HBO By Joshua Meyer/March 1, 2022 9:20 am EST Last October, we reported that Jennifer Coolidge would be returning for season 2 of “The White Lotus.” Several industry sources indicated that this would be the case, but HBO itself held off on making any official announcement to confirm Coolidge’s return … until now. The day after the Screen Actors Guild Awards, in which Coolidge lost the award for “Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series” to Kate Winslet, HBO has confirmed (via Variety) that Coolidge is returning for “The White Lotus” season 2....

Interviewing Betty White Was One Of The Best Moments Of My Life Disney By Jenna Busch/Jan. 1, 2022 10:18 am EST 2021 just had to get in one last dig, didn’t it? Betty White passed away on New Year’s Eve 2021, despite all the calls to wrap her in the softest cotton to keep her safe. I think she would have laughed at all of this. Of course she would have....

Michelle Pfeiffer Proved Al Pacino Wrong With Her Scarface Performance Universal Pictures By Caroline Madden/April 11, 2022 10:40 am EST Al Pacino’s boisterous performance as the ambitious, hotheaded, American Dream usurper Tony Montana is undoubtedly the heart of Brian De Palma’s operatic gangster film “Scarface.” But he tends to overshadow Michelle Pfeiffer’s fine performance as Tony’s wife, Elvira Hancock, an equally compelling character despite her limited screen time. Although they had chemistry, Pacino didn’t initially want Pfeiffer to play the role....

Monstrous Trailer: Christina Ricci Deals With A Monster Screen Media By Kaylee Dugan/April 21, 2022 10:00 am EST The temperatures are getting warmer and the sun is setting later (at least in the northern hemisphere), and you know what that means, right? It means it’s the perfect time to close your blinds, crank your AC, get under the covers and bliss out with a creepy movie. Sure, you could be out in the sun drinking piña coladas, but that doesn’t really hold a candle to the joy of midrange CGI, unhinged aesthetics, and the uneven acting that comes along with the finest summer horror flicks....

Nickelodeon And Paramount Tease Animation Slate, Including A Rad TMNT Movie And The Next Avatar Project [Annecy 2022] Nickelodeon By Rafael Motamayor/June 20, 2022 2:34 pm EST The Annecy International Animation Film Festival may have the words “film” and “festival” in its title, but it’s much closer to something like San Diego Comic-Con, a place where recruiters go look for industry hopefuls, and where both artists and studios go to showcase their upcoming projects....

Picard Writers Do ‘Penance’ In Star Trek: Picard Episode 2 Paramount By Witney Seibold/March 10, 2022 4:00 am EST Ah, good ol’ causality. There’s nothing better to whet a Trekkie’s appetite for a brainy, overthought conversation about rerum natura than a story about how a small change in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. Or, to put it in other words, that Butterfly Effect sure is fun to talk about, eh, fellow nerd?...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Wanted To Show A Different Side Of Spock Paramount By Danielle Ryan/June 28, 2022 1:44 pm EST “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” does something sort of magical with its material, taking characters fans know and love from “The Original Series” and offering new perspectives into their pasts. “Strange New Worlds” not only charts the early years of Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush), linguist Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), and Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), but it gives fans an in-depth peek at the younger version of beloved half-human, half-Vulcan, Spock....

The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2 May Not Be Confirmed, But Temuera Morrison Has An Idea Lucasfilm By Ben F. Silverio/Feb. 8, 2022 7:53 am EST If your favorite character in an epic franchise dies, there’s a good rule of thumb that you can take solace in: If you don’t see their corpse, then there’s a small chance that they’re not really dead. This especially applies in “Star Wars.” Darth Maul somehow survived his encounter with Obi-Wan Kenobi....

The Dark Knight Rises’ Most Explosive Scene Was Especially Rough On Its Extras Warner Bros. Pictures By Christian Gainey/April 7, 2022 2:23 pm EST Being an extra in the film world can be a pretty thankless job. I use the word “job” here loosely because extras aren’t always paid, and if they are, it isn’t usually an amount to get excited over. That doesn’t mean it isn’t work. Film days are long, sometimes excruciatingly so, and extras spend most of their day sitting in one spot, trying not to mess up their styled hair, professionally perfected make-up, and loaned outfits....

(Time to greenlight that third movie, Blumhouse!...

The Real Life Inspiration Behind The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou Buena Vista Pictures By Steven Ward/Jan. 6, 2022 9:06 am EST Wes Anderson’s fourth feature film “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” follows the story of the titular oceanographer, portrayed in all his idiosyncratic glory by Bill Murray, as he embarks on a “Moby Dick”-esque vendetta against the jaguar shark that ate his partner Esteban. With its colorful cast of characters and magical use of stop-motion animation, the film’s vivid visual palette plays host to one of Anderson’s most heartfelt tales even as it builds on his penchant for transforming the ordinary into something magnificent....
