“Red Notice” Official Trailer Reveals Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds & Gal Gadot’s Caper

If you’re going to bring out a big, bold new caper that’s meant to be both funny and thrilling, who better to enlist as your three leads than Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot? Writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber already has a rich history with Johnson, having directed him in the dizzy action-adventure Skyscraper and the espionage comedy Central Intelligence. In Red Notice, Thurber has crafted an original caper starring Johnson as an FBI profiler named John Hartley who’s trying to clear his name—he’s been given a dreaded Red Notice by Interpol—by enlisting the help of the world’s second most famous art thief,

“Dune” Editor Joe Walker on Cutting Denis Villeneuve’s Sweeping Epic

Last week in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles, UK-raised editor Joe Walker had just finished cutting a TV commercial down to thirty seconds when he took a break to discuss Dune (opening Oct. 22), which clocks in at two hours and thirty-five minutes. “But come on,” Walker laughs. “It feels like thirty seconds.” In 1984, David Lynch’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel failed to translate on the big screen—Villeneuve has solved the Dune riddle and delivered something astonishing.

“Hocus Pocus 2” Starts Filming in Rhode Island

When Hocus Pocus was released in 1993, few people probably imagined that years later, as if by occult magic, the Disney film would become a cult classic and a beloved Halloween film.

Eternals is the 26th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and yet the early reactions are that thanks to Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao, it feels entirely different from that films that have come before.

“The Batman” Behind-the-Scenes Featurette Promises Radically Different Dark Knight
