How about better luck today? Paramount Pictures At the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, “Better Luck Tomorrow” had five screenings. The first two screenings apparently went very well, so the feeling of elation with the cast and crew was high. For Lin and the rest, this was the gateway into Hollywood productions. The problem emerged in the next screening. “At the third screening of Sundance, everything exploded. It was the last question of the night and a guy stood up in the audience and said, ‘How dare you represent your people that way!...

Nope Trailer Breakdown: The Best Look Yet At Jordan Peele’s UFO Movie Universal Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/June 9, 2022 1:20 pm EST You know the drill by now. The marketing for the latest Jordan Peele film drums up excitement among horror fans and general audiences alike, we all spend the intervening months until release coming up with theories and rampant speculation about what the visionary filmmaker might have in store, and then the movie comes out and somehow lives up to (if not exceeds) all the hype to deliver a fresh, original, and sorely-needed box office hit....

Obi-Wan Kenobi Director Deborah Chow Is Giving Us The Star Wars Story We’ve Been Waiting For [Interview] Disney+ By Ryan Scott/May 20, 2022 1:00 pm EST Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, and along with that purchase came the promise of more “Star Wars” — something many of us never thought we were going to get after the release of “Revenge of the Sith” in 2005. Not only did we get an entire sequel trilogy of movies beginning with “The Force Awakens” in 2015, we also got standalone films such as “Rogue One” and “Solo....

Rebecca Romijn Insisted On Wearing A Starfleet Dress On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Paramount By Jacob Hall/May 2, 2022 2:15 pm EST The original “Star Trek” series remains spellbinding for its forward thinking science fiction ideas. But it remains equally spellbinding for being a show so firmly entrenched in the ’60s that all female crew members on board the USS Enterprise wear short miniskirts while the men get to strut around in far less revealing uniforms....

Mace Windu aka another ‘BMF’ Miramax Films At the end of “Pulp Fiction,” Jackson’s hitman Jules Winnfield has his wallet stolen by two up-and-coming criminals. And the wallet, inscribed with a two-word reminder of its owner’s malignant nature, is the source of one of the film’s many indelible deliveries by Jackson. When asked which wallet is his, Jules replies, oh so coolly: “It’s the one that says bad mother f***** on it....

Scream Directors Address The Movie’s Most Shocking Character Death Paramount Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 21, 2022 9:27 am EST Spoiler alert: someone dies in the new “Scream” movie! It’s a given that the body count is going to be high in any teen slasher flick, and the early “Scream” movies, written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven, were particularly good at fostering a vibe of “No one is safe....

Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans Adds David Lynch To Its Stacked Cast YouTube By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 4, 2022 2:48 pm EST Well, here’s a slice of casting news that you won’t see every day. Hot off his impressive musical debut with his “West Side Story” remake, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg is back at it once again, rounding out his A-List ensemble cast for “The Fabelmans” … and this time, he’s recruiting another legendary filmmaker in his own right....

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Sony Pictures In 2001, video game developer Square-Enix was still SquareSoft, a name that heralded brilliant, if occasionally arcane, role-playing games. In particular, Square was a master of creating beautiful CGI cutscenes that delivered its games major plot beats. So, the news that Square was forming a movie division and was going to give a realistic, all-CGI film a shot was bold, but not a leap....

The Batman Reminds Robert Pattinson Of The Conversation And Other ’70s Noirs Warner Bros. Pictures By Debopriyaa Dutta/Feb. 9, 2022 12:21 pm EST Since donning the garb of the caped crusader in director Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” Robert Pattinson has provided considerable insight into his thought process behind bringing the role to life, including Batman’s no-kill rule. For instance, Pattinson’s views on Batman administering “bad self-therapy” offered us more insight into the primary narrative of the new movie, in which the story will (thankfully) not be rehashing the Thomas and Martha Wayne death scene, and offer a direct view into Bruce’s post-trauma psyche....

What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Lucasfilm The yawning gap between the events of “Return of the Jedi” and “The Force Awakens” decades later occurred as both a logistical inevitability — people grow old (spoiler alert!) and bringing back the original cast at their current ages brought a sense of weight to the new movies — and a calculated choice to leave open tons of potential for future storytelling possibilities. Well, that gap is finally being filled in even more with the arrival of “The Mandalorian” and now “The Book of Boba Fett....

Jack Quaid joins Oppenheimer Paramount Actor Jack Quaid first got his start in the industry with appearances in “The Hunger Games” franchise, before going on to collect a number of voice-acting gigs (most recently voicing Ensign Brad Boimler in “Star Trek: Lower Decks”) and starring in more and more high-profile productions over the years. Until now, that had culminated with his role in “The Boys.” Quaid also appeared in Steven Soderbergh’s “Logan Lucky,” making Christopher Nolan only the latest brand-name director that Quaid has collaborated with....

Thor: Love And Thunder Trailer: Meet The Goats Of The Galaxy Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/June 23, 2022 12:45 pm EST Remember those dark days when “Thor: Love and Thunder” was mere months away from release and we’d still hardly seen a second of actual footage from the upcoming Taika Waititi-directed superhero movie? That’s long behind us now and Marvel seems keen on making up for lost time, throwing all sorts of featurettes and full-length teasers at us in a carefully-calculated marketing blitz....

Why David Cronenberg Doesn’t Care If You Watch Movies In A Theater Criterion/Universal Pictures By Shae Sennett/June 4, 2022 10:48 am EST The fascinating filmmaker David Cronenberg has never had a reputation as a traditionalist.
