Why It Took Willem Dafoe So Long To Host SNL A24 Willem Dafoe has worn many hats (literal and figurative) since he started acting in movies in the early 1980s. Indeed, it’s hard to think of too many other performers who could play the quietly sleazy, scheming carnival owner in Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley,” then turn right around and portray the cackling Green Goblin in Jon Watts’ “Spider-Man: No Way Home” with equal grace....

/Film Showdown: Obi-Wan Kenobi Vs Spock Paramount By Witney Seibold/May 10, 2022 2:33 pm EST One is devoted to logic, the other is devoted to peace. One hails from an optimistic future, the other from a nostalgic past. One views life through data, empiricism, and scientific findings. The other views life as driven by contemplation, prayer, and the development of supernatural psychic powers. The time has come, fight fans, to pit these two pop culture giants against one anther in a fight to the death in either the Triskelion fight arena or the Geonosian execution arena....

Positive portrayals of people with disabilities Paramount “Star Trek: The Original Series” showed us creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future in which humanity had put aside its petty differences in favor of exploring the final frontier. A Black female crew member took prominence in a show aired at the height of the civil rights movement, and crew members of nations that had once been bitter rivals in warfare, real or cold, comfortably shared a bridge with half-aliens....

A Trailer For Alex Garland’s Men Is Coming Tomorrow, Check Out A New Poster A24 By Danielle Ryan/Feb. 8, 2022 1:02 pm EST Few writer/directors are making movies quite like Alex Garland — the slow-burn science-fiction horror that he’s created so far is the stuff of our collective nightmares.

So what happens in My Fair Lady again? Warner Bros Snooty Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) has a theory that a person’s accent determines their social standing. To prove his point, he makes a bet with a fellow scholar that he can take working-class flower-seller Eliza Doolittle (Hepburn) off the street, teach her phonetics, and pass her off as a duchess at a swanky embassy ball. He moves her into his house and starts a rigorous course of exercises to help alter her accent and speech patterns, as well as correcting her bearing and teaching her polite etiquette....

Daniels’ Joke Pitch For A Marvel Movie Starring Kevin Feige Sounds Good, Actually DFree / Shutterstock By Joshua Meyer/April 11, 2022 9:25 pm EST Love it or hate it, but in our superhero-saturated culture, questions about Marvel movies have become inevitable even for directors who are doing press tours for non-Marvel films. In the case of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the filmmaking duo known collectively as the Daniels, such questions are only slightly more relevant because of the nature of the movie they are currently promoting....

I’ll do it for a million dollars Filmverlag der Autoren Herzog recalls a particular incident of Kinski’s avarice on display: The film was out of money, but Herzog still needed to re-record some of the dialogue. He asked Kinski to come back and read some of his lines to get cleaner audio. Kinski made an unreasonable demand: “And then, there’s an interesting thing, the real good version is the German version, it’s the authentic version, but since we filmed a lot in rapids there was such a huge noise that — of course we did have some direct sound — but you could hardly understand a word....

Ron Perlman’s Hellboy Casting Was A Years-Long Battle Behind The Scenes Sony Pictures By Steven Ward/March 31, 2022 1:39 pm EST Some of the greatest behind-the-scenes battles between directors and studios are waged over casting decisions.

What’s cooler than being cool? Netflix “Spiderhead” is laser-focused on uncovering the increasingly-disturbing mystery of the eponymous facility — but the film does manage to squeeze in a nod to two of the best “Top Gun” characters. Kosinski recently sat down with Netflix to break down the films and other details that influenced “Spiderhead.” Early in the film, Jeff (Teller) calls himself “ice cold,” the same phrase that Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) uses to describe Tom “Iceman” Kasansky (Val Kilmer) in “Top Gun....
