Watch the First Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Hugely Timely The Post
It’s difficult to imagine a more timely film than Steven Spielberg’s The Post. Starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, The Post covers the monumental and hugely controversial publication of the Pentagon Papers back in the 1970s, focusing on the absolute necessity of a free press in any functioning democracy. It goes without saying that The Post comes at a time when our current president attacks the press nearly daily, smearing any story he doesn’t like as “fake news,” and suggesting,...

The Confusion Around Aquaman’s Trident in Justice League
As we await the November 17 premiere of Justice League, one fact has been repeatedly confused; is Aquaman’s weapon of choice in the film a trident or not? As many people have realized, all the footage we’ve seen thus far of Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry, better known as Aquaman, has shown him wielding a weapon that is definitively not a trident if we’re simply counting the tines. Going purely by the math, the weapon Aquaman is using in Justice League ...

Ok, well, he probably will be doing those things, but director Taika Waititi had a vision for the franchise that gives the Norse god new energy.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi “Destiny” Spot Boasts new Footage
Think about how patiently we all waited for a Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer, how richly we were rewarded when the first official one dropped, and then how casually most of us missed the new “Destiny” spot.

The theme, right there in the title,...

The ‘Roaring 20s’ are often glamourized in entertainment, but there was a more pragmatic lifestyle on farmland in the Midwest. Costume designer Claudia da Ponte gets that tone just right in the Stephen King thriller 1922, setting farmer Wilfred James and his family off on a long and gruesome descent into madness.

Blade Runner: 2049 Had Enough Footage for Two Films
When filmmakers harvest a really great idea, sometimes the most difficult part is cutting it down. Telling a really rich story, without overly obvious exposition, can be a challenge. Such appears to have been the case for one of the most complex films of the year, Blade Runner 2049.
The film’s editor, Joe Walker, told Provideo Coalition that the original cut was nearly four hours. He said that director Denis Villeneuve considered releasing two movies with all of the extra footage...
