Capturing Cavill & More With “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” Cinematographer Ed Wild

In Part One of our conversation with cinematographer Ed Wild, we discussed how his documentary filmmaking background worked very well with director Guy Ritchie’s pragmatic and responsive approach. We continue the discussion with the throughline in Ritchie’s latest films, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and The Covenant, both of which were lensed by Wild.

To create a lavish ballroom for the extravagant costume party in the third act,

Jennifer Lopez Takes on a Lethal AI in Official “Atlas” Trailer

Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez) is not a fan of artificial intelligence, but in director Brad Peyton’s sci-fi thriller Atlas, she’s going to have to learn how to differentiate the evil AI from the kind that might save humanity.

“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” DP Ed Wild Captures the Chaos of Guy Ritchie’s Crackling Action-Comedy

Following last year’s contemplative war thriller The Covenant, director Guy Ritchie is back with a propulsive military actioner with his go-to cinematographer in recent years, Ed Wild (London Has Fallen and Ritchie’s Netflix adaptation of his own film, The Gentlemen).

The “Deadpool & Wolverine” Trailer Hints At a Different Logan & the Most Powerful Villain Since Thanos

The reveal of the first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer yesterday unleashed a new kind of mayhem on Marvel. The Merc with the Mouth (Ryan Reynold)’s entrance into the MCU—alongside Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the beloved, be-clawed mutant mauler, no less—was the raunchiest, most foul-mouthed and deliriously unhinged trailer to ever fall under the MCU banner, and that’s by a wide margin. Of the main clues and Easter Eggs dropped in the trailer’s two minutes and change (including revealing some X-Men and a sadly deceased Giant Man),

“Deadpool & Wolverine” Official Trailer Unleashes Mutant Mayhem on Marvel

The official Deadpool & Wolverine trailer has arrived, and it opens by riffing on a classic moment in Logan (Hugh Jackman) lore. When we first met Logan in 2000’s X-Men movie, he was cage fighting in a bar, a feral, ferocious mutant with nothing and nobody to lose. When he wanted to have a few (dozen) drinks afterward, he was told that “his kind” (mutants” weren’t allowed to drink there. Now,

Nikola Jokić arrived for the Denver Nuggets’ Saturday playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers dressed like a certain sartorially sharp animated character beloved by millions.

“Civil War” Production Designer Caty Maxey on Designing an America in Ruins

Picturing the United States as a divisive hellscape juxtaposed with bucolic vistas of the East Coast, Civil War imagines a not-too-distant future in which Americans settle their differences by executing each other at close range.

Martin Scorsese Circling a Frank Sinatra Biopic With Leondaro DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence

Age is (mostly) a state of mind, as is being proven by a slew of older directors still putting out great work.

Pamela Anderson Set to Star in “Naked Gun” Remake Opposite Liam Neeson

Pamela Anderson is ready to join another iconic franchise.

Anderson is set to star opposite Liam Neeson in Paramount’s upcoming Naked Gun remake, which will revise the crime caper comedies from the late 1980s and early 90s. Anderson adds immediate star power to the revival, which made headlines back in February when Neeson was announced as the lead. It was an especially interesting bit of casting considering Neeson’s made a late-ish turn in his career to playing ruthlessly efficient types with very particular sets of skills—it’ll be interesting to see him playing a bumbling detective prone to hilarious catastrophes,
