It’s Glen Powell vs. America in the First “The Running Man” Trailer

Glen Powell is in trouble.

In reality, Glen Powell is doing great, but his character, Ben Richards, sure is, in the first trailer for Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, a reboot of the 1987 sci-fi classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the same role.

The conceit is tidy and brutal and will sound familiar, even to folks too young to have seen the original but who have seen Squid Game—Ben’s a down-on-his-luck husband and father in desperate need of cash.

“M3GAN 2.0” Writer/Director Gerard Johnstone on Killer Tech, Callbacks, and Respecting Genre

M3GAN 2.0 has gumption. The sequel to the Blumhouse production doesn’t play it safe by rehashing a formula. Instead, writer/director Gerard Johnstone rips up any atypical sequel blueprint and goes for broke in an action-comedy: a mad tech bro or two, a kitchen that kills (thanks to AI), and the proud influence of Steven Segal’s finest pictures. 

M3GAN (Jenna Davis) never truly died. Silicon Valley and beyond are still reeling from her dance-happy killing spree from the first movie,

The Secret Behind “M3GAN 2.0”: FX Duo Adrien Morot & Kathy Tse Reveal How They Perfected Horror’s Creepiest Eyes

Early in M3GAN 2.0 (in theaters now), the robotic title character complains to her maker Gemma (Allison Williams) about being confined to the clunky body of Teletubby simply because it/she killed a bunch of people in the first movie. Negotiating for an upgrade to fend off a weapons-grade android, M3gan says, “I want to be stronger. Faster. And while you’re at it, make me taller.”

That last demand posed a challenge to Morot FX Studio principals Adrien Morot and his wife,

How “F1” Production Designer Ben Munro Built Real Racing Garages That Traveled the World

The filmmakers, deploying cinematographer Claudio Miranda’s ingenious camera rigs, worked with producer/ex-driver James Lewis to secure cooperation from the Formula One organization so that Pitt and co-star Damon Idris could get behind the wheels of real cars in front of actual crowds and speed down raceways in UK,

Aaron Sorkin has long hinted at the potential for a sequel to his Oscar-winning 2010 film, The Social Network, which he wrote and David Fincher directed. That film, based on Ben Mezrich’s “The Accidental Millionaires,” starred Jesse Eisenberg as a young Mark Zuckerberg, and tracked Zuckerberg’s early years at Harvard when he created the social networking site that would end up becoming the colossus Facebook, and the legal troubles that arose when he was challenged by the Winklevoss twins,

From Wakanda to Chicago: Riri Williams Returns Home as Marvel’s “Ironheart” Arrives on Disney+

When we first met Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) on screen in Ryan Coogler‘s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, she was a genius student inventor who had skills not seen since Tony Stark was in the game.

Now, imagine living in a zombie apocalypse. Not among the infected who want to eat you alive,

“28 Years Later” Proves Some Franchises Are Worth the Wait

When we spoke with Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle about lensing director Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, he was clear that the ethos behind continuing the chilling saga that first began with Boyle’s grimy, gruesome, brilliant 28 Days Later in 2002 was that the new film would function just as well on its own. “28 Years Later is not a sequel,
