Visual FX Legend Phil Tippett’s Experimental Feature Mad God Is Coming To Shudder Shudder By Kaylee Dugan/March 31, 2022 8:28 am EST Shudder may not have every horror movie you want to watch when you want to watch it, but you can’t deny that the horror streaming service has a keen eye when it comes to picking up exclusive streaming rights. From the childhood bleakness of “Tigers Are Not Afraid” to the heavy metal surrealism of “Mandy” or the pure delightful comedy of “One Cut of the Dead,” there’s a lot of gold in them hills....

Halo Episode 5 Brings Back The Action As War Breaks Out And The Chief Faces A Reckoning Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/April 21, 2022 3:00 am EST Now that’s more like it. I’ll admit I’ve found myself surprisingly charmed by the unique direction that season 1 showrunners Steven Kane and Kyle Killen have taken this “Halo” series so far, flaws and all. Rather than walking down the obvious path of crafting a straightforward adaptation of “Combat Evolved,” they instead opted for a downright strange detour into a sci-fi universe that almost feels as if it carries the “Halo” brand name as a matter of happenstance....

Hans Zimmer’s Stunning Dune Soundtrack Gets Two Separate Vinyl Releases From Mondo Warner Bros By Shania Russell/March 21, 2022 3:43 pm EST Is homesickness for Arrakis getting you down?

How Joker Would Have Played A Role In The Dark Knight Rises Warner Bros. Pictures By Collier Jennings/March 30, 2022 10:55 am EST As long as there have been Batman movies, there’s been a Joker. The Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Clown’s rivalry almost always finds new ways to be represented on screen — heck, there’s even a deleted scene from “The Batman” featuring Barry Keoghan as the Joker doing his best Hannibal Lecter impression....

The MVP is a mallard Apple TV+ In an interview with ScreenRant, Wever revealed that they used an actual duck for the scenes instead of relying on computer-generated imagery. She worried that she might have to perform with a tennis ball or a line on the floor, but instead she was able to lock eyes with a real live duck: I’m acting opposite a real live duck. We didn’t really know how it would go on the day; if I would be working with a piece of tape and we’d be cheating it all the time, or grabbing a couple of lines of us in the same shot before it waddled away....

How The New Munster Movie Designs Compare To The Originals CBS By BJ Colangelo/June 15, 2022 6:38 pm EST The Munster family of 1313 Mockingbird Lane are easily one of the most widely recognized families in sitcom history, with Universal Monsters inspired costuming and aesthetics that turned them into pop culture phenomenons. Herman Munster famously resembles Frankenstein’s monster, his wife Lily looks like a classic vampire while donning the trademark singular white streak of “The Bride of Frankenstein,” and Grandpa Dracula looks as if a Ben Cooper Count Dracula Halloween costume aged into an adorable old man....

By Anya Stanley/April 12, 2022 11:47 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. “Nobody puts one over on Fred C. Dobbs.” In John Huston’s 1948 classic “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” Fred C.

This one is called “Destiny,” and it’s giving us a much closer look at what Kamala Khan’s powers are going to look like. We’ve seen her hand glow, and her ability to shoot light discs out of her hands, and run up them like a floating staircase, but now we’re getting way more: the moment she gets the powers, a look at that bracelet, and a description of how it feels to use the powers....

New Morbius Featurette Teases A Multiverse Connection Sony Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/March 21, 2022 10:59 am EST As far as “Spider-Man” antihero movies go, “Morbius” is a much harder sell than “Venom.” Despite having made his debut in the “Amazing Spider-Man” comic books in the 1970s, the titular character’s not a household name outside of the hardcore comics-reading crowd and has yet to appear on the big screen (though he almost made a cameo in 1998’s “Blade”)....

Sam Esmail’s Metropolis Series Will Use The Volume Tech From The Mandalorian UFA By Joshua Meyer/April 15, 2022 10:08 am EST Sam Esmail, the creator of “Mr. Robot” and director of Prime Video’s “Homecoming” season 1, is bringing the production of his recently announced Apple TV+ series, “Metropolis,” to Melbourne, Australia, where it will utilize cutting-edge volume technology similar to “The Mandalorian.” “Metropolis” is based on the classic 1927 German expressionist silent film, directed by Fritz Lang, and that movie already shares a connection with “Star Wars” in that its signature robot, Maschinenmensch, inspired the original design of the droid C-3PO....

Do that less charming Buena Vista Pictures Bay recalls his first direction he gave to Connery: “Uh, Sean can you please do that less charming?” Give the Connery’s natural on-screen affability, this might have been a common problem with many directors. Bay also recalls a scene wherein he directed Connery to flip a coin. Bay, however, required an oversize coin to get the shot he needed: “Sean was notoriously thrifty and practical....

Why It’s Essential Viewing Apple TV+ “Mythic Quest” is like “Community” by way of “Silicon Valley,” if “Silicon Valley” had ever figured out how to write women. It combines geeky, industry insider humor with a series of hilarious dysfunctional — and may I say, sexually charged — workplace relationships. Characters treat building extension demos and coming up with new in-game items like life-or-death scenarios, and “Mythic Quest” manages to make every new twist of fate in the fast-paced online gaming industry tremendously funny and compelling....

Who almost starred in the film Paramount Vantage Adapted from Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel of the same name, “The Power of the Dog” stars Cumberbatch as Phil Burbank, a wealthy but cruel man who operates a ranch with his soft-spoken brother George (Plemons) in Montana circa 1925. When George marries a widowed inn owner named Rose Gordon (Dunst), a resentful Phil takes to psychologically tormenting her and mocking her son, Peter (Smit-McPhee), for his so-called “effeminate” manner....
