Multiverses are cool! America Chavez, though, might be cooler, which is why the latest exclusive images from the new movie — coming to us from Empire – are worth getting excited about!...

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore Trailer Breakdown By Jenna Busch/Feb. 28, 2022 5:30 pm EST Today Warner Bros. released the new trailer for “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” and I’m going to use my years-long addiction to the “Harry Potter” universe to break it down for you. You know Harry Potter? The boy wizard whose story was told by someone … can’t remember the name of this terrible person....

“I’m a sucker for a good Hollywood book.” Penguin Publishing Group There’s also a scene where your character sneaks into a house, and there’s definitely a version of that scene that’s very dark and sinister, but how’d you make sure you got the tone of that moment right? You know, I have to hand that to Jason, right? It’s his job as the director to hold the tone of the movie....

John Woo To Remake The Killer For Peacock’s Original Film Slate In Collaboration With Universal Film Workshop By Jeremy Mathai/May 2, 2022 9:51 am EST Monday mornings are always a good time to wake ourselves up with some strange-but-true news, and it’s hard to imagine anything else today topping this one. Director John Woo, the Chinese filmmaker behind so many classics such as 1992’s “Hard Boiled,” the gloriously campy Nicolas Cage and John Travolta two-hander “Face/Off,” and several acclaimed Hong Kong action movies, is answering the prayers of many a movie fan and coming back with his latest feature....

Jurassic Park’s Legacy Made Laura Dern Nervous For Her Character’s Return Universal Pictures By Witney Seibold/June 7, 2022 3:54 pm EST Colin Trevorrow’s film “Jurassic World Dominion,” the sixth in the “Jurassic Park” series, opens on Friday, providing two hefty fistfuls of nostalgia. Perhaps most notably, the “Jurassic Park” characters of Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, and Ellie Sattler (Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern) will reunite on screen together and do a great deal of investigation (the film’s plot entails breaking into a corporate biology laboratory)....

Law And Order Is Back, Baby, And This New Teaser Is All The Evidence You Need NBC By Danielle Ryan/Jan. 21, 2022 9:56 pm EST “Law and Order” is an American institution. Just about every actor who’s ever worked in New York has done their time on the series as a corpse, witness, or killer, and the series’ two-beat “dun dun” sound and opening monologue are as recognizable as the “Jeopardy” music or the clicking whir of the “Wheel of Fortune....

Movies Like The Batman You’ll Definitely Want To Watch Warner Bros. By Valerie Ettenhofer/March 5, 2022 5:00 pm EST So, you’ve finally seen “The Batman.” What do you do next? Of course, you can always go see “The Batman” again, but since Matt Reeves’ take on the Caped Crusader is a movie lover’s dream come true, you can also experience similar thrills at home. The filmmaker has spoken openly about his inspirations for the movie, but “The Batman” explores corners of the noir, horror, and mystery genres that go even beyond Reeves’ publicly noted influences....

The kicker? The series comes from none other than Netflix. Perhaps you’ve heard of this tiny DVD mail company turned streaming giant — it’s the one that Blockbuster once had the chance to purchase before the company blossomed and eventually buried them....

No Exit Director Damien Power On Maintaining Tone And Valuing Suspense Over Gore [Interview] 20th Century Studios By Ben Pearson/Feb. 28, 2022 11:47 am EST When Damien Power, the filmmaker behind the taut little thriller “No Exit” that debuted on Hulu this past weekend, first read the script, he knew the approach he would take when the cameras rolled. “For me, it was all about playing it for real that it would feel experiential, that we would be following Darby through this journey,” he told /Film, referencing the lead character played by Havana Rose Liu....

Pam & Tommy Makes It Official, Sebastian Stan Is The Internet’s (Sleazy) Boyfriend Hulu By Shania Russell/Feb. 10, 2022 9:00 am EST The assification of Sebastian Stan is gloriously upon us. This might be a difficult reality to accept, given Stan’s status as a beloved internet boyfriend, but it’s time to face the facts: Sebastian Stan makes an excellent douchebag. You know it, I know it and clearly, Craig Gillespie knows it because after seeing the MCU star embrace his sleazy side in “I, Tonya,” he called him up for the titular role of abusive creep, Tommy Lee in “Pam & Tommy....

The 15 Best Space Opera Movies, Ranked MGM By Liam Gaughan/March 16, 2022 11:59 am EST Ever since the earliest days of cinema, audiences have flocked to the movie theater to escape reality. Science fiction films explore the possibilities of the future, how developments in technology impact humanity, and imagine what space travel and distant galaxies might look like. Space films sometimes even predict real scientific achievements before they actually happen: In 1902, the adventure short film “A Trip to the Moon” featured astronauts landing on the lunar surface long before the “Apollo 11” mission was ever in the works at NASA....

The Batman Finally Forces Its Hero To Confront His Own Privilege Warner Bros. By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/March 10, 2022 12:00 pm EST Although it’s not quite an origin story, “The Batman” is very much about the shaping and development of Bruce Wayne’s heroic identity. At the start of the film, Robert Pattinson’s Bruce is kind of a misguided creep, and I actually loved this take on Batman precisely for that reason....

The Best TV Shows And Movies Coming To Disney+ In March 2022 Disney+ By Ryan Scott/Feb. 23, 2022 11:34 am EST Next month brings much to the table for movie and TV lovers.

Picture this: someone pulls off a heist of Spider-Man suits in an international conspiracy to sell them to collectors, and it takes a thorough investigation to round them back up before too much chaos ensues....

The Humans Release Date and Where You Can Watch It A24 “The Humans” debuted at TIFF on September 12, 2021 and is set for a wider release later in the year, at a date to be announced. It will be produced and distributed by indie studio A24, which has developed its own brand as a haven for low-budget fare that perhaps wouldn’t receive much traction elsewhere in our current moviegoing climate (read: blockbusters or bust)....
