“Barbie”: Watch Ryan Gosling Crush “I’m Just Ken” in Hilarious Rehearsal Video

It’s long been evident that Ryan Gosling has the chops for comedy. His timing and line delivery are spot on, evident in films like The Nice Guys and his stellar performance on Saturday Night Live, specifically that now iconic digital short Papyrus. Yet in Barbie, Gosling proved he’s got dance moves and a singing voice to boot, as he absolutely crushed his performance in belting out “I’m Just Ken.”

James Gunn Clarifies What “Superman: Legacy” Will Be

With James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy in pre-production—it won’t begin filming until the SAG-AFTRA strike is reconciled—fans are understandably enthused about what is a major reboot for DC’s most iconic superhero, arguably the most iconic superhero of them all. Gunn cast David Corenswet as his new Clark Kent, taking over for Henry Cavill, the man who played the most recent iteration of Superman, starting in Zack Snyder’s 2013 film Man of Steel and then again in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. 

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” Reaches New Milestone

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has now exploded to over $700 million at the global box office. This makes Nolan’s epic biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) the fourth-biggest film in his career, with yet more time for it to climb even higher. With a current haul of $718 million, Oppenheimer has surpassed Nolan’s 2014 cosmic epic Interstellar ($715 million) and trails only his two final Batman films, The Dark Knight ($1.06 billion) and The Dark Knight Rises ($1.08 billion) and his mind-trip heist movie Inception ($837 million). 

“Barbie”: How Michael Cera Nabbed the Role of Allan (At the Last Second)

Sure, Greta Gerwig’s longtime collaborators Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan might not have been able to snag roles in Barbie (scheduling conflicts, unfortunately), but one actor who made sure he was available to get a plum part was Michael Cera. In fact, Certa, who plays the lonely, singular Allan, a doll introduced as Ken’s pal that was ultimately neglected and discontinued, managed to get his role at the last possible second.

“Oppenheimer” is About To Make History in a Very Unique Way

The news broke this week that Greta Gerwig’s Barbie just surpassed Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight as the highest-grossing film at the domestic box office in Warner Bros. history.

Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) that has wowed audiences across the globe.

Timothée Chalamet Was One of the Many Stars Who Was Almost in “Barbie”

We laughed when Barbie casting directors Allison Jones and Lucy Bevan described eager actors auditioning for the role of Ken removing their shirts unnecessarily while they read their lines for a scene where two Kens challenge each other. “Those scenes were fun to audition,” Bevan told us. “Some of the Kens would take off their t-shirts, and we were like, no, no, you don’t need to take off your t-shirt.” The role of this one particularly challenging Ken (facing off against Ryan Gosling’s version) ultimately went to Simu Liu.

Legendary Entertainment has revealed this glimpse of Dinklage’s hazardous hero ahead of the film’s world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2023 in Austin,

The First Teaser for Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro” is Here, and It’s Beautiful

“Oppenheimer” Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema on Making History With Christopher Nolan

Oppenheimer marks the fourth collaboration between director Christopher Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema. And like their past efforts, the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), the theoretical physicist who spearheaded the effort to create the atomic bomb and then came under attack when he warned the world of its dangers, is anything but routine. It’s a three-hour epic that has mesmerized audiences around the globe,

“Barbie” Casting Directors Allison Jones And Lucy Bevan on Populating Barbie Land

Since its release last month, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has been hailed as a marvel of a balancing act between sincerity and hilarity. On top of the nuanced script, Barbieland is populated by a Barbie and Ken of every stripe, for every type, despite dozens of characters who share a mere two first names (plus the singular Allan). Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) and her dependent Ken (Ryan Gosling) were early commitments to the Warner Bros.

“Blue Beetle” First Reactions: A Funny, Poignant, Exciting Film Led by a Stellar Xolo Maridueña

A heartfelt story steeped in Latin culture with charismatic characters and a ripping plot—you couldn’t ask for better first reactions from Blue Beetle, the second-to-last DC Studios film to premiere during the new tenure of James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are taking DC Studios in a brand new direction. (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which is due in theaters on December 20, is the last DC Studios film from the previous era.) From the tenor of these initial reactions to director Angel Manuel Soto‘s Blue Beetle,

How “Sanctuary” Cinematographer Ludovica Isidori Turned a Single Room Into a Dynamic Psycho-Emotional Arena

How do you make a single location subliminally consume an entire story? That was the question Italian cinematographer Ludovica Isidori had to answer in director Zachary Wigon’s sophomore film Sanctuary.

Starring Christopher Abbott (Girls) as Hal, an heir to a luxury hotel empire, and Margaret Qualley (Maid), a dominatrix named Rebecca who is equal parts seductive, smart, and clever, Sanctuary is a slow-burn psychological thriller that reveals the intimacy of their unorthodox relationship with delicious restraint.

“Oppenheimer” Production Designer Ruth De Jong on Helping Christopher Nolan Build the Bomb

Oppenheimer is a colossal achievement. Christopher Nolan’s film is an exquisitely calibrated epic, brimming with ambition and ingenuity, appropriate for its titular protagonist, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), the brilliant physicist who led America’s Manhattan Project during World War II. Nolan and his crew, including production designer Ruth De Jong (Nope), reached for the stars and succeeded in their quest for a pure, tangible vision in presenting one of the most important and dangerous minds of the 20th century – the father of the atomic bomb.

“Heart of Stone” Director Tom Harper on Accepting an Impossible Mission With Gal Gadot

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has had success both with critics and audiences and Barbie is breaking box office records. It makes good sense, then, that Skydance, the production company behind the M:I franchise, would want to partner with global superstar Gal Gadot to create a female-fronted action film. Enter Heart of Stone, the new Netflix release that puts Gadot front and center as intelligence operative Rachel Stone,
