An editor extraordinaire Warner Bros. Pictures Brenner is survived by his wife Amber and his children Annie, Haider, and Sasha. The American Cinema Editors, of which Brenner was a member, released a statement saying: “He was an extraordinary editor and a loving, compassionate family man. In an effort to support David’s family during this terrible time, Lightstorm Entertainment has created this GoFundMe account. More important than any financial assistance this may provide, it’s an opportunity to let his wife Amber and his children Annie, Haider, and Sasha know how many other lives David touched....

Duke Nukem Movie Coming From Cobra Kai Creators Gearbox By Ryan Scott/June 10, 2022 5:32 pm EST Yet another classic video game franchise is getting the Hollywood treatment. “Duke Nukem,” one of the most representative and influential games of the ’90s, is being turned into a movie by the folks at Legendary Entertainment. What’s more is that the creators behind “Cobra Kai,” the beloved continuation of the “Karate Kid” franchise, are the ones making it happen....

Every Young Avenger In The MCU So Far Marvel Comics By Jamie Gerber/May 22, 2022 7:46 pm EST From the Runaways to the Teen Titans, I’m a sucker for superhero teen drama in comic book form, so there are few MCU possibilities I find quite as thrilling as bringing in the Young Avengers. The studio has been slowly laying the groundwork to bring these teens together and honestly, I cannot wait!...

How Serial Killer Ed Gein Inspired Classic Horror Movies Discovery+ By BJ Colangelo/March 7, 2022 11:25 am EST In our true crime-obsessed world, serial killers have unfortunately reached icon status. We could debate whether or not the world really needs another Ted Bundy movie until we’re all blue in the face, but no serial killer can compare to Hollywood’s obsession with the Plainfield Butcher, Ed Gein. A murderer and grave-robbing body snatcher is bound to be newsworthy regardless of criminal circumstance, but the grotesque ways Gein utilized the corpses he collected were so shocking, people couldn’t (and still can’t) stop talking about it....

In From The Cold Composer Tori Letzler On Creating The Show’s Equivalent Of A Bond Theme [Interview] White Bear PR By Jack Giroux/Feb. 4, 2022 2:05 pm EST “I’m the voice that everyone’s heard, but nobody knows who I am.” That may change soon for composer Tori Letzler, whose voice has indeed been heard all over the world. The vocalist was featured on “Captain Marvel,” “The Crown,” and “Wonder Woman,” to name a few of many credits....

Jacob And The Man In Black’s Lost Backstory Explained ABC By Ryan Leston/Jan. 31, 2022 9:36 am EST Back when ABC’s “Lost” first aired in 2004, the show was full of secrets. Drip-feeding its mysteries across six seasons, “Lost” kept viewers like myself gripped with its combination of mythology and pseudoscience. What was in the hatch? What was the smoke monster? What did the DHARMA Initiative really want? Would the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 ever make it off The Island?...

Letterkenny Live: A Lesson In Canadian Hospitality Crave By Matt Donato/April 14, 2022 1:00 pm EST “So you laughed heartily throughout Letterkenny Live with your pals the other day … and it was so rich with fan adoration you pitched an article.” No, that’s not a direct “Letterkenny” cold open quote. The above describes my experience attending “Letterkenny Live” in Los Angeles. An event where game-day Shoresy jerseys and flannel button-downs colored a crowd of hootin’, hollerin’ Americans getting roasted by the quickest wits in Canada....

Love On The Spectrum Creator On Landing Between A Doc And Reality TV, Autism Misconceptions & More [Interview] Netflix By Ethan Anderton/May 18, 2022 12:00 pm EST Among all the trashy reality dating shows available to stream on Netflix lies a charming, delightful spark of joy called “Love on the Spectrum.” Originating in Australia, the documentary series follows a group of men and women on the autism spectrum as they embark on a journey to find love....

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On Review: A Lovely Slice Of Whimsical, Melancholy Magic [SXSW] A24 By Jacob Hall/March 12, 2022 10:33 pm EST Perhaps the thrilling beauty of “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” is that it feels like it actually happened. Yes, that is an unusual thing to say about a movie where a man befriends a one-inch-tall shell with little shoes, a tiny mouth, and a single expressive eyeball that lives in the Airbnb where he’s biding his time after a break-up....

Nicolas Cage Says He Didn’t Buy A Batcave, But He Did Check Out Some Cave Real Estate By Valerie Ettenhofer/April 23, 2022 6:25 pm EST Nicolas Cage went on a national talk show for (by his count) the first time in fourteen years this week, and the results were exactly as delightful as you might expect. The actor appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to promote his new meta-comedy, “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” and was kind enough to confirm and deny some of the wackiest rumors about him while he was there....

Bring back Neeson Universal Pictures Universal had intended for “Darkman” to become a series, but the lack of explosion at the box office relegated future stories to direct-to-video releases. “We were probably thinking if it’d been successful, there’d be more,” Raimi said. Neeson didn’t return for the sequels, with Arnold Vosloo stepping into the role of Dr. Peyton Westlake/Darkman. Neeson hadn’t yet blown up into the massive action star he is today, which likely adds to the appeal of returning to the original world of “Darkman....

They’re boldly going where other Treks have been once before Paramount+ The plan with a show like “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” according to McMahan, is to “build out those monocultures into something that’s more textured.” His reasoning here seems to be that the show can dig into facets of certain Trek cultures that may have been missed on the first go-round, when previous Trek crews only visited a planet or met a group one time during what was, based on Trek’s track record, likely a high-pressure situation....

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Review: An Extremely Bloody, Extremely Disappointing Sequel Netflix By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 18, 2022 3:01 am EST Tobe Hooper’s 1974 “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” is one of the scariest movies ever made. There are several factors backing up such a big claim, but what really makes Hooper’s film so damn effective is how real it all feels. The film isn’t based on a true story (although, like “Psycho,” it drew on the true story of Ed Gein), but it presents itself in a manner that feels authentic....

Lincoln Amblin Entertainment It seems wild to say Steven Spielberg is under-appreciated, but given the disappointing box office receipts for “West Side Story,” it seems like some audiences may be taking him for granted. That film’s box office performance was disappointing, but it’s not as if Spielberg movies haven’t overcome worse fates before. Thankfully, “Lincoln” doesn’t count itself among the ranks of the masterful filmmaker’s box office flops. If you ask me, Spielberg and longtime writing partner Tony Kushner managed the impossible task of humanizing one of the most famous, larger-than-life figures in all of American history — and they made it look easy, too....

The Daily Stream: The Golden Girls Is The Only Cure For Aging We Need NBC By Valerie Ettenhofer/Jan. 3, 2022 3:12 pm EST The Series: “The Golden Girls” Where You Can Stream It: Hulu The Pitch: “The Golden Girls” follows the antics of three single women in their fifties. There’s divorced no-nonsense teacher Dorothy (Bea Arthur), flirtatious Southern widow Blanche (Rue McClanahan), and air-headed Midwestern widow Rose (Betty White), along with Dorothy’s mother, Sophia (Estelle Getty)....

Why it’s essential viewing Shudder Playing fast and loose with the term “essential viewing” here, but “Tilbury” is covered in Kier-La Janisse’s comprehensive 2021 documentary “Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror” as one of the rare Icelandic entries in the genre. The full feature (restored from the original 16mm negative) is now available physically as part of the “Woodlands Dark” compendium DVD release, “All the Haunts Be Ours,” which also includes gems like the 1967 Soviet Union witch horror “Viy” and Ben Wheatley’s 2012 shroom-trip period horror “A Field in England....

The Morning Watch: Fantastic Beasts Unlocks Dumbledore’s Past, Spider-Man: No Way Home Honest Trailer & More Warner Bros. By BJ Colangelo/March 31, 2022 8:00 am EST (The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fan-made productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.)...

The Original Opening Of Scream 4 Sounds Completely Nuts Dimension Films By Jeremy Mathai/Jan. 14, 2022 3:04 pm EST The late horror legend Wes Craven may be gone, but the director’s influence has only grown stronger over the years. More and more people coming around on his 2005 thriller “Red Eye,” and his “Scream” franchise is just about to add its newest member to the family with (the still annoyingly titled) “Scream,” directed by “Ready or Not” filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett....

The Super Bob Einstein Movie Trailer: Explore The Legacy Of A Comedy Legend HBO By Jenna Busch/Dec. 21, 2021 5:21 pm EST HBO has released a trailer for “The Super Bob Einstein Movie,” about the comedian Bob Einstein, who was known for the character Super Dave Osborne and so much more. He starred in his own animated series called “Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire” and a live-action film called “The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave,” but the actor and comedian also played the roles of Marty Funkhouser in “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and Larry the Middleman on “Arrested Development....

Will Smith’s apology Warner Bros The full apology has been reprinted below: Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong....
