I, Tonya Director Craig Gillepsie on Revisiting the Second Most Surreal Sports-Related Crime in the ’90s

Back in 1994, when  tabloid TV shows such as “Hard Copy” and “Inside Edition” became the rage and CNN fed the public’s hunger for 24-hour news coverage, two crime-related stories revolving around sports figures would provide ample sustenance. One involved the arrest of football hero O.J. Simpson for the lurid murders of wife Nicole and Ron Goldman. The other was a good vs. evil  scenario that pitted skating princess Nancy Kerrigan against the less-polished, more athletic Tonya Harding. Before  both U.S...

Who Will Utter the Opening Dialogue of Star Wars: The Last Jedi?

Watch the Training that Went Into Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s Fight Scenes

From the moment we met Daisy Ridley’s Rey in The Force Awakens, she was already one tough cookie. We watched her repel deep into a ruined a Star Destroyer, fight off some First Order goons with her staff and generally hold herself in such a way where you never questioned how tough she was. And this was before it became clear she had some serious abilities that even she didn’t know about. One presumes that in The Last Jedi,...

New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Images Showcase Laura Dern’s Mysterious Vice Admiral Holdo

The great Laura Dern was one of the most exciting additions to the Star Wars: The Last Jedi cast, an actress with immense gifts whose presence improves any film. Dern, along with Benicio del Toro’s mysterious code breaker DJ, is not someone you bring onboard your film to play a minor role. As Vice Admiral Holdo, Dern’s playing a prominent officer in the Resistance, and judging by this Entertainment Weekly cover photo of Holdo alongside Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron,...

New Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Teaser Unleashes a Load of Terrified Dinosaurs

Life finds a way. This has been the credo, of sorts, to the entire Jurassic Park/World franchise, from Steven Spielberg’s first, ground-breaking film Jurassic Park to Colin Trevorrow’s massive Jurassic World. No matter how hard humans try to control their dino creations, whether by locking them in pens or designing them in labs, life, which always brings death, finds a way. Jurassic World ended with our hero, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and heroine,...

VFX Artist Dream Big & Think Small for Downsizing

Writer-director Alexander Payne has won two Academy Awards and 17 more Oscar nominations for films that specialize in low key stories about flawed characters. But unlike Nebraska, The Descendants, About Schmidt and Sideways, his new movie Downsizing (opening Dec. 22) goes high concept: Matt Damon stars as a five-inch human who tries to leave his problems behind by living in the pint-sized “Leisure Land” community alongside normal-sized earthlings...

Ant-Man and the Wasp Actress Evangeline Lilly Has an Interesting Theory about the Future of the MCU

Today we saw the first Avengers: Infinity War trailer and the tides are clearly shifting. Alliances that were once fractured are uniting again to battle Thanos. Big changes are coming to the MCU, and that could mean crossing over into entirely new realms. We are in the midst of Phase 3 of the Marvel arc and it’s unclear how the storylines will shift to something new, but we know it is coming. The Guardians of the Galaxy fight on an intergalactic scale,...

Disney Casts the Star of Live Action Mulan

Disney’s casting requirement for the actress who would play the live action Mulan was a tall order, but the search has finally come to an end. Liu Yifei, who also goes by Crystal Liu, has landed the role and it seems like she could be a perfect fit. Casting agents were on the lookout for a Chinese actress who speaks English with martial arts experience and singing ability. Check, check, and check for Liu.

Disney announced the decision on Twitter earlier today...

Behold the Epic First Trailer for Avengers: Infinity War

The first official trailer for Avengers: Infinity War is here, and it’s as massive and chill inducing as you’d hoped. Giving us our first glimpse of the super villain Thanos (Josh Brolin) in action, and arraying against him just about every character from a decade’s worth of Marvel movies, the Avengers: Infinity War trailer feels genuinely momentous. 

We’ve known next to nothing about the plot, save for that the Russo Brothers’ upcoming film is based on Thanos finally squaring off against the Avengers in the flesh,...

James Cameron Reveals New Details About the Avatar Sequels

James Cameron has some colossal blockbusters under his belt, and he touched on almost all of them in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Jordan Peele’s Get Out Leads Pack at Gotham Independent Film Awards

The Gotham Independent Film Awards are considered the very first step on the long, often winding road towards Oscar glory. Two very different and very excellent films, Jordan Peele’s social thriller/horror/comedy masterpiece Get Out, and Luca Guadagnino’s gorgeous gay romance Call Me By Your Name can now be credibly considered two early frontrunners. 

Get Out nabbed breakthrough director, for Peele, best screenplay (Peele again), and the audience award. Peele’s film, which bakes social commentary and comedy into a horror template in a way that recalls the best horror films of all time,...

Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke Costume is Unbelievably Cool

Joe Manganiello gave us all something to be thankful for this holiday weekend, the first image of him as Deathstroke. The True Blood actor tweeted out the photo with no caption, but the ammo does all of the talking. Fans were expecting the assassin to make an onscreen appearance soon, but we weren’t sure how close we were until he popped up in the Justice League post-credits scene.

In the brief clip, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) returns and propositions Deathstroke,...

Blade Runner 2049‘s Makeup Designer on the Secrets Hiding in Plain Sight

Revisiting the world of Blade Runner decades after the original movie drove the filmmakers to look 30 years farther into the future of Rick Deckard’s (Harrison Ford) world. The world of Blade Runner: 2049 is one of incredible technology and a completely ravaged environment, where massive holograms lope around a lurid Los Angeles slicked with acid rain and ashy snow. A Blade Runner by the name of K (Ryan Gosling) works on behalf of humans in the same capacity Deckard had;...

Rey’s Tempted by the Dark Side in new Star Wars: The Last Jedi Teaser

One of the most surprising moments in the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer was when Rey (Daisy Ridley) appeared to be about ready to accept the outstretched hand of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), her mortal enemy and the poster child (er, man) of the Dark Side. At the time we assumed this was a clever head fake by the marketing team, a way to throw us off the scent of the film’s real narrative trajectory. While it neatly echoed the battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader,...

Poirot Sequel to Murder On the Orient Express in the Works

Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express was the type of stuff that holiday movie release dreams are made of. The Agatha Christie adaptation was an exciting adventure in a beautiful, sweeping, snowy landscape filled with compelling performances. The stylized camera work was fresh and interesting as it moved through the train cars without being a distraction. After only two weekends in theaters, Twentieth Century Fox has ordered the sequel Death on the Nile.

Both stories feature Christie’s most famous serial detective,...

Vice Admiral Holdo and Poe Dameron Will Clash in The Last Jedi

We feel lucky to see these two work together one last time. However, over the course of the film, Poe will be reporting to a new authority,...
