Zoë Kravitz Gets A Cat And Sends Up Princess And The Frog In A Hit Or Miss Saturday Night Live NBC By Ethan Anderton/March 13, 2022 8:45 pm EST Since Robert Pattinson was too busy wincing at the sun and putting on black eye make-up so he can become vengeance, “The Batman” co-star Zoë Kravitz headed to Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza this weekend to make her hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live....
Aliens: Dark Descent trailer This is a very cinematic trailer with very little gameplay but it sort of looks like it’s taking a team-based idea, much like last year’s “Aliens: Fireteam Elite,” only with a single-player focuses story, as opposed to an online multiplayer based concept. It also looks like there will be plenty of carnage and no shortage of Xenomorphs. It looks very faithful to the look and tone of the early films in the franchise, which should delight many fans....
Ingus Kruklitis / Shutterstock The above boycotts all followed other media boycotts from The BBC, CNN, and German broadcasting giant Deutsche Welle. The statements Sony Pictures The statement from WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar, says WarnerMedia “is pausing all new business in Russia.” They will be “ceasing broadcast of our channels, halting all new content licensing with Russian entities, and pausing our planned theatrical and games releases.” Kilar wants to keep the door open for business in future, however....
In A Better World, We Would Have A David Bowie Bond Villain Neon By Shae Sennett/June 15, 2022 7:02 pm EST The late Glam rock legend David Bowie was no stranger to the silver screen, but even die-hard fans likely don’t know that the award-winning musician nearly had another major role under his belt. Bowie starred in a number of films throughout his career, including Nicolas Roeg’s “The Man Who Fell to Earth” (1976) and Nagisa Ōshima’s “Merry Christmas Mr....
Jackie Chan Went To Dizzying Lengths To Perfect His Drunken Master Style Seasonal Film Corporation By Lyvie Scott/Feb. 14, 2022 10:35 am EST It’s hard to imagine a time before Jackie Chan was a certified action star, but in the early 70s, his international (and especially domestic) success was far from a sure thing. Hong Kong’s film industry floundered for years after the untimely death of Bruce Lee, and for years the industry tried and failed to fill the void that Lee had left behind....
Who would you want to see Dornan play? BBC Two Did you hear that, Marvel? Mr. Feige? When you get a chance … Pearson mentioned the possibility of Dornan maybe playing Scott Summers/Cyclops, and really, there are a host of X-Men roles that he could play. Heck, I’d even buy him as Gambit (though I’m still sad that Channing Tatum didn’t get his movie). Captain Britain was also mentioned, and I’d be on board for that as well....
Maya Erskine To Star Opposite Donald Glover In Prime Video’s Mr. And Mrs. Smith Series Hulu By Jeremy Mathai/April 7, 2022 12:17 pm EST Prime Video has found its new co-lead for the streaming service’s in-development “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” series. “Pen15” co-creator, co-showrunner, and star Maya Erskine has been tapped to star opposite actor Donald Glover, stepping in for the original and seemingly universally well-received casting of Phoebe Waller-Bridge. As we reported at the time, Waller-Bridge parted ways with the buzzy production over what was called “a different creative vision for the series than Donald Glover....
‘Suddenly there was this big fight between them’ Sony You’re a director who likes practicality, the tangible. How was that transition with “Morbius” for you, where you have to rely a lot more on CG? It’s strange. I like to be in real worlds and that’s how I build — even when we did “Life.” We built the whole spaceship. So it was different to be in this kind of semi-realistic world, and also like, to be in this genre — that is, when you do these movies, you’re doing one thing that is in the canon of a million other movies....
Paramount Previews Sizzle Reel Of Dungeons & Dragons, Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts, And More Paramount Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/April 28, 2022 1:56 pm EST Paramount has a lot of big movies on the way, starting with the oft-delayed “Top Gun: Maverick,” featuring Tom Cruise doing what Tom Cruise does best: risking his life for his art (that and, most likely, running a lot). There’s also “Babylon,” an original period drama from “La La Land” director Damien Chazelle, as well as the “Dungeons & Dragons” film reboot, “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” and the latest “Transformers” movie, “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts....
Persuasion First Look: Dakota Johnson Falls In Love In Netflix’s Jane Austen Adaptation Netflix By Sandy Schaefer/April 21, 2022 11:53 am EST Ah, Dakota Johnson. If she’s not out there messing up Olivia Colman’s vacation (or is it the other way around?), then she’s taking over Tilda Swinton’s witchy dance academy or using a shotgun to ward off Chris Hemsworth’s cult leader in a seedy hotel on the California-Nevada border. Yes, this is my not-so-subtle way of telling you to finally watch “Bad Times at the El Royale,” if you already haven’t....
With Great Power… Sony Since the fellas in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” came up with a pretty good system for avoiding confusion (even if it took them a couple of tries to get it right), I shall henceforth use their system and refer to the Spider-Men as follows: Peter 1 — Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man (Tom Holland) Peter 2 — “Spider-Man” Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) Peter 3 — “Amazing Spider-Man” Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield)...

The 15 Best Bounty Hunters And Mercenaries In Star Wars Lucasfilm By Nick Bartlett/May 17, 2022 4:47 pm EST “Star Wars” is predominantly a world of good against evil: the Jedi vs. the Sith, the Rebellion vs. the Empire, the Resistance vs. the First Order. The list goes on. However, it’s the morally ambivalent parts of the universe that provide the franchise with some of its most vibrant and memorable characters....
Riddle me this: how does this compare to other Bat-films? Warner Bros. As Forbes notes, “The Batman” looks to be about on par with “Batman Begins” in terms of its Week Two drop-off (it has already surpassed the total box office gross of “Batman Begins,” which finished its theatrical run with $373.7 million worldwide). “The Batman” raked in $18.7 million on its second Friday, only $1 million short of the $19....
The Batman Sequel Probably Already In The Works, So Take It Easy, Sweetheart Warner Bros. By Ryan Scott/Feb. 24, 2022 5:52 pm EST We have been waiting years for “The Batman,” a movie that has gone through two wildly different iterations with different filmmakers behind and potential stars in front of the camera. Yet, after all of the wait, director Matt Reeves’ version is finally upon us, with the DC Comics adaptation hitting theaters next week....
The Coming-Of-Age Romantic Comedy That Inspired Fight Club 20th Century Studios By Caroline Madden/March 28, 2022 12:22 pm EST “Fight Club” is a grimy, dark examination of American masculinity and consumerism that has a lot more in common with the Mike Nichols romantic comedy “The Graduate” than you would think. Edward Norton plays The Narrator, an unnamed, miserable insurance salesman with insomnia who forms a fight club and terrorist organization against capitalism with a soap salesman named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt)....
The Mandalorian Vs. Boba Fett, Round 3: Potential Spin-Off Edition Lucasfilm By Jeff Ewing/Jan. 12, 2022 4:30 pm EST With the third episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” now available, we’re starting to get a more well-rounded picture of what his life will be like now that he’s grown out of his Bounty Hunter S. Thompson phase and settles into his role as a fledgling mafioso. Just as “The Book of Boba Fett” series spun off from “The Mandalorian,” this additional depth is also starting to help us see what potential properties Lucasfilm could (or should) spin-off from this new world....
The Real Historical Inspirations Behind The Grabber’s Mask In The Black Phone Universal Pictures By Erin Brady/June 22, 2022 3:00 pm EST Those who have already read Joe Hill’s 2004 short story “The Black Phone” might have noticed that its new adaptation has made a major change to the source material. Instead of the sinister Grabber (Ethan Hawke) being a clown like he was in the original, he is now a magician, sporting a top hat in public and looking like someone you’d want to avoid at all costs....
The guitar of Theseus Warner Bros The Doof Warrior’s guitar presents a fantastic example of the dangers of form over function. Pieced together from a porcelain bedpan and a french horn, the result greatly impressed George Miller. But then he asked the fateful question: “Does it play?” The crew had thought carefully about how the guitar would look, and they’d done the work to ensure that it would spit fire on command....
This Improvised Sir Anthony Hopkins Line Changed The Silence Of The Lambs Forever Strong Heart Productions By Anya Stanley/Dec. 22, 2021 10:42 am EST The tongue clucks in “Hereditary.” Ju-on’s death rattle. The Babadook’s vocal fry. There are some uncanny sounds in horror movies that invade more nightmares than any spoken line. One such sound was ad-libbed by a knighted Oscar-winning Welshman on the set of a movie directed by a Roger Corman protege....
