Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off Director Sam Jones On Finding The Narrative, His Skateboarding Roots & More [Interview] HBO Documentary Films By Ethan Anderton/April 6, 2022 4:08 pm EST After premiering at the South by Southwest Film Festival back in March, the new documentary “Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off” debuted on HBO last night and is now available to stream on HBO Max. For the film’s release, we spoke with director Sam Jones, who you might recognize from the “Off Camera” interview series and podcast featuring in-depth conversations with some of the most well-known figures in pop culture....

Where it all takes place A24 Of the project, Moura said: “We are working [on it] right now. We’ve been shooting for a month already, and it’s been great. I can’t tell you a lot about the film yet, but I’m a fan of Garland and I’m excited to be working with Kirsten Dunst, the great Stephen Henderson, who is an actor that I have a lot of admiration for. And this young, amazing actress called Cailee Spaeny....

Why The King’s Man Director Matthew Vaughn Is Worried About Seeing 1917 [Exclusive] 20th Century Studios By Kaylee Dugan/Dec. 21, 2021 10:52 am EST You might think of the “Kingsman” movies as nothing more than an incredibly British, balls-to-the-wall spy franchise, but producer/director Matthew Vaughn is looking to shake that up in his prequel film, “The King’s Man.” Besides the usual well-tailored suits and clever quips, Vaughn has injected a little more historical seriousness into the series, including some stark depictions of World War I trench warfare....

Has Winnie the Pooh always been a bit creepy? Disney While Pooh is remembered as a charismatic, lovable teddy bear, has there always been a subtly macabre touch to the classic animated woodland creature? The 1977 film “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” movie saw Pooh exercising in the mirror while breaking into song, abruptly rotating his head all the way around while casually stitching himself up after his fur gets ripped while doing squats....

5 Horror Movies We Think Should Have Won The Oscar For Best Picture A24 By Miyako Pleines/Dec. 28, 2021 1:18 pm EST Since the first Academy Awards back in 1929, there have only been a handful of horror films ever nominated for Best Picture. That’s nearly a century of great horror movies getting snubbed simply because they’re … well, horror. The consensus seems to be there have only been six horror films ever properly nominated for Best Picture — “The Exorcist,” “Jaws,” “The Silence of the Lambs,” “The Sixth Sense,” “Black Swan,” and “Get Out” — and only “The Silence of the Lambs” has actually won the coveted award....

Paramount By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 15, 2022 5:47 pm EST Paramount Pictures isn’t messing around when it comes to their nascent Paramount+ streaming service, that’s for sure. The studio’s initial jump into the deep end of the streaming pool hasn’t been without its fair share of difficulties, first involving a wholesale rebranding of the name (having formerly gone by CBS All Access previously) and rushing to fill out their meager library with any and all titles that potential subscribers might be interested in....

Armin Shimerman’s Angry Improv Gave Star Trek Writers A New Quirk For Quark Paramount Pictures By Andrew Housman/April 15, 2022 5:29 pm EST “Star Trek” has no shortage of memorable characters to grace the halls of its starships, but perhaps none in the franchise’s main cast has challenged the status quo as much as the Ferengi Quark on “Deep Space Nine.” In lieu of representing specific ideals and principles in the tradition of “Star Trek,” Quark is seemingly devoid of a strong moral compass, more interested in making a profit than he is in exploring new worlds....

Discovery Is Raising A Whopping $30 Billion To Fund WarnerMedia Merger Discovery By Ryan Scott/March 10, 2022 2:55 pm EST Last year, the surprising news came our way that Discovery was going to purchase WarnerMedia from AT&T for a gigantic sum of $43 billion. This was, rather amazingly, just a few years after AT&T fought tooth and nail to get approval to buy Warner in the first place, resulting in a gigantic new media company; part telecom, part media business....

Emily The Criminal Review: Aubrey Plaza Is Superb In This Gig Economy Crime Saga [Sundance 2022] Sundance Institute By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 25, 2022 11:47 am EST Aubrey Plaza is becoming one of those “must watch” performers; the type you go out of your way to see, no matter what the movie. Heck, she might already be there. With “Emily the Criminal,” Plaza takes on perhaps her most dramatic role yet; even more so than her exceptional, unhinged work in the oddball “Black Bear....

Rear Admiral Chester ‘Hammer’ Cain Paramount Pictures Ed Harris makes a solid early cameo in “Top Gun: Maverick” as a foil for our hero. His bald head, gravitas, and sheer disdain for Maverick bring to mind the character’s first commanding officer, Stinger (James Tolkan). In the original “Top Gun,” the cigar-chomping Stinger laments, “I ought to bust your butt, but I can’t.” Stinger is heated about Maverick’s antics but when his best pilot, Cougar, melts down and turns in his wing, he’s forced to send Maverick and Goose to Top Gun....

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore Secures A Release In China Warner Bros. By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 7, 2022 1:42 pm EST Warner Bros.’ third installment in the “Fantastic Beasts” series, “The Secrets of Dumbledore,” has been confirmed for a release in China, according to Deadline. Securing an April 8, 2022 release date, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” will premiere in China ahead of the film’s domestic release, while falling in step with the UK and a few international markets....

GameStop: Rise Of The Players’ Jonah Tulis And Blake Harris Talk About Taking On Hedge Funds With The Power Of Friendship [Interview] Neon By Jeff Ewing/Jan. 28, 2022 3:25 pm EST In 2021, retail investors pulled off something that was considered impossible: They challenged hedge funds over the value of a struggling stock and won — big time. When a hedge fund targeted GameStop for short selling, a ragtag group of investors (following the lead of a small band of steadfast stock advocates) rallied behind the stock, gaining collective millions against billions in losses from the financial powers that be....

To boldly go where no man has gone before Paramount Pictures We don’t know which poem gave Bennett what he needed to move forward with “The Search for Spock.” The web of “Star Trek” content produced by fans is vast and intricate, sprawling across time and space. That said, we can make educated guesses. It’s possible that the poem Bennett stumbled upon is “gen,” an accessible piece of fan narrative meant to give greater context to the series....

How Cary Grant Shaped The Future Of The James Bond Franchise MGM By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 3, 2022 10:39 am EST James Bond is a British institution, but he was almost played by an American movie star. Can you picture Cary Grant in the role instead of Sean Connery? Grant was already a household name by the time 007 made his big-screen debut in 1962 with “Dr. No.” In fact, he was getting ready to retire from acting altogether....

How Star Wars Sound Designer Ben Burtt Created Darth Vader’s Heavy Breathing By Devin Meenan/May 3, 2022 9:35 am EST What do you think of when you think of Darth Vader? Black mask and armor? Red lightsaber? “I am your father”? For me, it’s the breathing. A perfect complement to James Earl Jones’ baritone voice, the breathing ensures Vader’s presence dominates a scene even when he isn’t speaking. It also proves that even behind his armor and cyborg body, Vader was once human....

Jennifer Connelly’s Top Gun: Maverick Character Isn’t New To The Franchise Paramount Pictures By Joshua Meyer/May 20, 2022 8:13 am EST In “Top Gun: Maverick,” Tom Cruise’s high-flying character, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, has got a new love interest riding with him on the back of his motorcycle. As it turns, though, that character, played by Jennifer Connelly, is an old flame who has been part of Maverick’s backstory since 1986 when the original “Top Gun” movie flew into theaters....

Jeremy Irons Hasn’t Seen The Snyder Cut, Says ‘It Couldn’t Be Worse’ Than Theatrical Cut HBO Max By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 13, 2022 9:59 pm EST While “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” may have been the Holy Grail for any rabid fan (emphasis on “rabid”) who once tweeted #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, at least one of the film’s supporting cast members is content to let it gather dust in his back closet or junk drawer or wherever an esteemed British actor keeps unwanted gifts....

Mixing the cynical with the personal Netflix Reynolds’ version of Adam Reed comes from the year 2050 and ends up face-to-face with his 12-year-old self, as played by newcomer Walker Scobell. But his story truly begins when the love of his life, Laura (Zoe Saldana), ends up mysteriously lost in the time-space continuum, and in trying to rescue her, his time-traveling ship is damaged. Though he has only his pre-teen self around to help him recover from the crash landing, fix his ship, and continue his search, none of those mark the biggest challenge for adult Adam — because most of all, he struggles to make himself emotionally vulnerable, in a way that plagues his relationship and adult life....

Shooting Blade Runner 2049’s Climactic Scene Was Two Weeks Of Misery Warner Bros. Pictures By Joshua Meyer/May 24, 2022 11:02 am EST This post contains spoilers for “Blade Runner 2049.” The ending of “Blade Runner 2049” puts its protagonist, K, played by Ryan Gosling, through the wringer both mentally and physically. No sooner does K have his bubble burst about being the Chosen One — the first human child ever born of a bioengineered replicant — than he is facing down fellow replicant Luv (Sylvia Hoeks) in a brutal fight to the death on a seawall....
