With this news, we can now start the countdown to seeing some actual footage.

Johnson not only shared the news about his own film but complimented the visionary French director Leos Carax while he was at it.

Director Kay Cannon on Bringing the Modern & the Funny to “Cinderella”

With her hilarious and critically acclaimed feature-directing debut Blockers, Kay Cannon expanded her renown beyond being the writer of the Pitch Perfect blockbuster franchise and writer/producer on hit shows like 30 Rock, New Girl, and Girl Boss. Cinderella, which premiered in theaters and on Prime Video this past September 3rd, is her sophomore release as director and looks like another crowd-pleasing hit.

“The Eyes of Tammy Faye” Review Roundup: Jessica Chastain Stuns in Heartbreaking Performance

The Eyes of Tammy Faye made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, which means that now we’ve got a sense of what the critics are saying. Unsurprisingly, there is already Oscar buzz for the film’s star, Jessica Chastain, for her performance playing the famous televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. Critics were mesmerized by Chastain’s embodiment of Tammy Faye, from the lashes to the soul, with Andrew Garfield also earning Oscar chatter for playing Tammy Faye’s deeply morally compromised husband,

“No Time To Die” Is Officially the Longest Bond Movie Ever

It was another lifetime ago (seriously, it feels like that) when we shared the news that No Time To Die was likely going to be the longest Bond movie ever made. This was way, way back in February of 2020 before the pandemic had changed everything. Now it’s official—United Artists has told domestic exhibitors not only the date that No Time To Die tickets can go on sale (September 17),

Writer/Producer Max Borenstein Delves Into the Human Cost of 9/11 in “Worth”

This September marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11. While many of the events that transpired that day have been captured on film, one lesser-known account of the tragedy just made its cinematic bow on Netflix. Worth chronicles the story of Kenneth Feinberg, the attorney charged with overseeing the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and, in so doing, putting a monetary value on the lives that were lost or suffered serious health issues as a result of the attack.

“The Matrix Resurrections” Trailer is a Dazzling Head Trip

“I’ve had dreams that aren’t just dreams.”

This is how the first trailer for The Matrix Resurrections begins, with Thomas (Keanu Reeves) speaking to a shrink (played by Neil Patrick Harris) about his experiences—which he’s clearly forgotten—years ago. “Am I crazy?” Thomas asks him, and although he’s told “we don’t use that word in here,” you get the feeling neither Thomas nor the shrink really believes he’s sane.

Thus,

“The Sopranos” Prequel “The Many Saints of Newark” Reveals New Trailer

If you were a fan of David Chase’s mesmerizing HBO juggernaut The Sopranos (and if you’re not, you’ve got some homework to do), then you’re going to find a lot to love in the second trailer for The Many Saints of Newark. But if even if you were coming at this fresh and didn’t know to laugh when baby Christopher is presented at the end of the trailer, crying at the sight of a young Tony Soprano (played by the late James Gandolfini’s son,

Vietnamese Filmmaker Le Binh Giang on His New Film “Who Created Human Beings” and Vietnam’s Growing Film Industry

Despite strict travel restrictions imposed against the ongoing pandemic, Vietnamese director Le Binh Giang made it in-person to Switzerland’s Locarno Film Festival. He traveled from Vietnam, along with his Vietnamese producer Le Quynh Anh, to present his latest project Who Created Human Beings at the festival’s international co-production platform Open Doors Hub, which ran from August 6-10.

The new project, which touches on local sensitive issues such as abortion and religion,

Twisting the Natural Hair of “Candyman” from Art Chic to Dark Terror

Can having great hair protect you from a monster in the mirror who cuts down his victims at the mention of his name a mere five times? There’s evidence in the new Candyman that it can. Department head hairstylist Jessi Dean stepped elegantly into the glossy art world of Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris). The killer begins as a mere myth, but hair and terror intertwine as the rumors prove true and the slayings mount.

Breaking Down the Somber, Thrilling Final Trailer For “No Time To Die”

Last week, the final trailer for Daniel Craig’s final turn as James Bond was released, revealing the most sustained look at writer/director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s long-awaited film. The trailer makes it clear that No Time To Die will function as the final say in this iteration of the venerable spy, played with a pugnacious, lonely charm by Craig since Martin Campbell’s 2006 film Casino Royale when he memorably didn’t care whether his martini was shaken or stirred.

“The Matrix Resurrections” Teaser—With 180,000 Potential Unique Videos—Revealed

The teasers are available on the film’s just-launched website, WhatIsTheMatrix.com. In just one of the teasers we got after selecting the red pill, we get voice over from Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s character, who we know, thanks to the footage shared during CinemaCon,

“Dune” Review Roundup: A Majestic, Astonishingly Vivid Epic Made for the Big Screen

Writer/director Denis Villeneuve’s hotly-anticipated Dune made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival this past Friday, where it received a seven-minute standing ovation. Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic, based on Frank Herbert’s iconic 1965 book, has been on our radar since we first learned he was taking on Herbert’s notoriously dense tome. It was always going to be an immensely challenging adaptation, but one that Villeneuve, fresh off back-to-back sci-fi knockouts with Arrival and Blade Runner: 2049 was ideally suited to take on.

Jason Momoa Reveals New Stealth Suit For “Aquaman 2”

You just had to know that Aquaman would be getting some fresh duds for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Momoa shared the new look on Instagram, where he posed side-by-side shots of the previous suit and his new “stealth suit,” and you’ll notice some big changes.

The first thing you’ll note is the suit’s new color, which eschews the first film’s shimmering green and orange hues to go a bit darker,

Best of Summer: The Luminous Final Trailer For Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals”

We’re including the final trailer for Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals” in our “Best of Summer” recap because, well, it’s Chloé Zhao and it’s her first Marvel film. 

And now we finally have our first really good look at Chloé Zhao‘s Eternals. Marvel Studios has just released the final trailer for Zhao’s first MCU film, and it’s unsurprising that it looks ravishing—Zhao has made her name,

Best of Summer: Daniel Craig’s Final Mission as James Bond is Nigh

Unlike most of our “Best of Summer” series, this is not an interview. But, it is a taste of what’s to come—Daniel Craig’s final mission as James Bond in the upcoming, long-awaited “No Time To Die.”

In the pantheon of iconic movie lines, few have the potency of the three words that make up “Bond, James Bond.” It’s this classic introduction that animates a brand new No Time To Die teaser,

Best of Summer: How the “A Quiet Place Part II” Sound Team Turns the Viewer Into Prey

This interview is part of our “Best of Summer” series. It was originally published on June 1. 

Don’t make a sound. The utterly frightening creatures of A Quiet Place are back in a terrifying sequel thirsty to tear your body apart. In this new chapter, the story picks up right where it left off with the Abbott family having destroyed their home in order to stay alive.

Trailer Heaven: 9 of the Year’s Most Exciting Films

The last four months of the year are going to be an epic one for movie lovers. From superheroes to cardsharps, from the mean streets of New York to the distant planet of Arrakis, the year will end with a thrilling mix of genres and stories from some of the best filmmakers in the business. (If Candyman hadn’t just been released, it would have made our list—but we’re sticking to films that haven’t premiered yet.) We’ve got films from living legends like Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott on the horizon,

How “Candyman” Composer Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe Manipulated Madness Into Music

It’s hard to believe that someone as soft-spoken as Brooklyn musician Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe could be responsible for the dread-inducing soundscape that underscores the return of cinema’s most horrific throat-slashing boogeyman. And yet, that’s exactly what Lowe has achieved in his score for Candyman (opening Aug. 27). The film, from co-writer/director Nia DaCosta and co-writer/producer Jordan Peele, updates the original 1992 horror movie by tracking artist Anthony (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) as he tries to wrap his bee-stung arms around the mysterious re-emergence of the murderous Candyman in Chicago’s newly gentrified Cabrini Green neighborhood.

See Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana in First “Spencer” Trailer

The moment we heard director Pablo Larraín was helming a film about Princess Diana starring Kristen Stewart, we were intrigued. Adding to the intrigue was the fact the script was from Peaky Blinds creator Steven Knight, and that the film would focus not on the entire, tragic saga of Princess Di’s marriage, divorce, and death, but a snapshot in time when Diana’s world was starting to unravel. Spencer focuses on just a few days in Princess Di’s life,

“The King’s Man” Red Band Trailer is Bloody Good Fun

You’ll know this is a red band trailer within the first 20-seconds. 20th Century Studios has released a raunchy, rude, and rollicking red band trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s The King’s Man, his long-awaited third installment in his The Kingsman franchise.
