Big Is Dead And Gone In And Just Like That, And He’s Not Coming Back For The Finale HBO By Kaylee Dugan/Jan. 5, 2022 8:14 pm EST “And Just Like That” has canceled its plans to bring Big back from the grave. In a move that surprised long-time fans and kicked off some bizarre stationary bike drama, the continuation of “Sex and the City” killed off Carrie’s leading man, Mr. Big (Chris Noth), in the very first episode … And they’re doing everything they can to make sure he stays dead....

By Debopriyaa Dutta/May 3, 2022 12:42 pm EST The legacy continues The spin-off is being executive produced by Michael Connelly, Eric Overmyer, Tom Bernardo, Henrik Bastin, Pieter Jan Brugge, Titus Welliver, and Zetna Fuentes. Freevee’s co-head of content and programming, Ryan Pirozzi, commented about how “easy” it was to greenlight the second season of “Bosch: Legacy,” and that they are “ecstatic” about the upcoming series: Here’s the official synopsis for season 1 of the show:...

Director Joe Wright Transformed Cyrano From Period Piece To Musical Fantasy [Interview] MGM By Shania Russell/Feb. 25, 2022 11:00 am EST Joe Wright has a certain sense of style. You’ll realize this just moments into one of his films, when transported to the lavish English countryside of “Pride and Prejudice” or even the smoky chambers of “The Darkest Hour.” But it’s especially clear throughout the musical fantasy of “Cyrano,” which sheds the 17th-century Parisian sensibilities of its source material for a dazzling prestige period piece that Wright dubs his “love letter to love....

From Wolf’s Bane To Marvel’s Batman Fantagraphics Books Before any stories suggested Moon Knight might be dealing with mental disorders, his identity was already revised. This occurred between his initial 1975-76 “Werewolf by Night” issues and the launch of his own title four years later. Between 1976’s “Marvel Spotlight” #28-29, 1977’s “Defenders” #47-51, 1978’s “Spectacular Spider-Man” #22-23, and 1979’s “Marvel Two-In-One” #52 by writer Steven Grant (more on that name to come), Moon Knight was recast as a more heroic figure....

Whatever’s meant to be Marvel Studios After Story’s plans for a third film were eventually scrapped, Black Panther wouldn’t be seen on the big screen for some time — but that did give Marvel Comics a chance to bring the character into the 21st century. Writer Reginald Hudlin and artist Ken Lashley relaunched the Black Panther comic book series in 2009, passing the mantle to a woman (T’challa’s sister, Shuri) for the very first time....

Flux Gourmet Trailer: Peter Strickland Cooks Up A Feast Of Gastronomical Horror IFC Films By Shania Russell/Feb. 7, 2022 2:58 pm EST Years after his hypnotic haunted dress tale “In Fabric,” Peter Strickland has returned with another striking concept: what kind of horrors await at a “culinary collective” for performance art? Sensory overload is a Strickland trademark, and given the auteur often works textures and closeup visual fascination into his films, putting food at the center of the story is an eerily perfect fit....

Getting His Own Marvel Comics Solo Series, Yoda Is Marvel Comics By Jeremy Smith/May 31, 2022 6:11 pm EST Given “Star Wars” fans’ insatiable appetite for side adventures that fill in narrative gaps for their favorite characters, Yoda, who expired at the longevous age of 900 in “Star Wars: Episode VI – The Return of the Jedi,” certainly has more than enough time under his belt to keep writers in a variety of media busy for eons to come....

Getting that heavenly glow Here is the synopsis for “God’s Favorite Idiot”: Mid level Tech support employee Clark Thompson finds love with co-worker Amily Luck at exactly the same time he becomes the unwitting messenger of God. Also, there’s roller skating, a lake of fire and an impending apocalypse. I mean, a lake of fire is cool. I won’t judge until I watch more than I already have, but the thing about this improv-feeling comedy style is that it either works really well and has you rolling on the floor, or it bombs completely....

How Beetlejuice Created An Unusual Situation For Stranger Things Season 4 Warner Bros. By Bill Bria/April 21, 2022 11:54 am EST In casting films and television shows that are set in the recent past, there exists a tacit understanding that the actors and characters are separate entities. For instance, “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood” doesn’t have to go out of its way to explain a resemblance between Kurt Russell’s character of Randy and a kid named Kurt Russell starring in a little film called “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes,” which was released in 1969, the year “Hollywood” is set....

How I Met Your Mother Star Josh Radnor Penned A Loving Tribute To His Future Self, Bob Saget By Valerie Ettenhofer/Jan. 10, 2022 2:26 pm EST Radnor took to Twitter late Sunday night to memorialize his co-star, who played the future version of Ted Mosby (played by Radnor on screen) in voiceover for the sitcom’s entire run. In a seven-part thread, he described the kindness Saget showed him. “He was the kindest, loveliest, funniest, most supportive man,” Radnor shared, before going on to describe the support Saget gave him on set during the hit show’s early days:...

A new Predator suit, but no Jean-Claude Van Damme Warner Bros. Regardless of whether an injury onset of the “Predator” was the catalyst, the producers sent Jean-Claude Van Damme packing home and went back to the drawing board to develop a new and safer design for the alien. The new suit didn’t require the use of stilts as the 7-foot-2 Kevin Peter Hall was hired to take over the titular role, and the film became a box office success without Van Damme....

John Mulaney Sings, Shuffles, And Gets Slimed In A Superb Saturday Night Live NBC By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 27, 2022 5:52 pm EST John Mulaney returned to “Saturday Night Live” to officially join the Five-Timers Club, and he had some much deserved company. Since Paul Rudd was unable to completely enjoy his own induction into the exclusive “SNL” club due to the surge of coronavirus infections at the end of 2021, the forever young star came back to Studio 8H to get in on the cameo-filled fun....

Moon Knight Super Bowl Trailer Breakdown: Embrace The Chaos Disney+ By Ben F. Silverio/Feb. 13, 2022 8:07 pm EST While the game isn’t over yet as of publication, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have already won the Super Bowl. In addition to the absolutely bonkers trailer for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” a new look at the upcoming Disney+ series “Moon Knight” starring Oscar Isaac dropped as well....

Nicolas Cage Says Acting Is Like Mixed Martial Arts, Which Explains A Lot Hemdale Film Corporation By Jenna Busch/Jan. 10, 2022 6:28 pm EST I would argue that there are few actors more entertaining to watch than Nicolas Cage. Frankly, I don’t care what movie he’s in or how good or bad it is. Just watching him act is pure joy and weirdness, and I love every second of it. Admit it; if “Superman Lives” starring Cage had actually happened, you would have done anything to watch it, no matter how bizarre it was....

Nightmare Alley Cinematographer Dan Laustsen On Shooting Blood, Smoke & Mirrors [Interview] 20th Century Studios By Jack Giroux/Dec. 19, 2021 2:15 pm EST “I hope I don’t disappoint,” Dan Laustsen said. He doesn’t, on the big screen or in person. After years of hearing directors sing the praises of Laustsen, one of the great cinematographers working today, it was a pleasure finally speaking to the man himself. Especially about a film such as Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley,” which, like Stan’s (Bradley Cooper) cheap tricks, casts quite a spell on the audience....

Oh my God, what did I get myself into? Sony Pictures According to Milla Jovovich, prep work for “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” was tougher than a T-Virus infected Doberman. The “Dazed and Confused” star told IGN: I thought I did a lot in the first movie, but I didn’t even know what they had in store for me for this one. It was really one of those kinds of surprises when I came for my day of first rehearsal and then saw the scope of the choreography....

Art Box Max Evry As with other statues in the Avengers Assemble line, the graphics on the box are simple and effective, giving little hint as to what is inside. It’s almost as if you’re pulling a secret file from deep within the archives of Avengers Headquarters. Packaging Max Evry The packaging for most Sideshow items is typically second to none, and the same goes here. Every piece is packed securely into its own form-fitted compartment wrapped in an additional protective plastic bag....

It’s the cast that makes this film Here is the official synopsis for “The Contractor” from STX: Chris Pine stars in the action-packed thriller as Special Forces Sergeant James Harper, who is involuntarily discharged from the Army and cut-off from his pension. In debt, out of options and desperate to provide for his family, Harper contracts with a private underground military force.

The Stubbornness Of Steven Spielberg Made Jaws’ Production A Hollywood First Universal Pictures By Leigh Giangreco/June 22, 2022 3:36 pm EST Few American thrillers rival the creeping tension of “Jaws,” Steven Spielberg’s terrifying tale of a gargantuan shark stalking an island town. In just two notes, composer John Williams concocted the soundtrack for a beast that would haunt beaches and our imaginations for decades. It’s almost impossible to fathom that a movie so iconic emerged from the depths of a nightmarish production....
