Suit Up For Battle in Riveting “The Last Duel” Behind-The-Scenes Video
You’ve got two knights (old friends, in fact) in heavy armor fighting to the death, who do you want behind the camera? You’re not going to do better than director Ridley Scott, whose 2000 hit Gladiator reinvigorated the period piece as something vital, bloody, and relentlessly exciting. He’s moved ahead a few centuries with The Last Duel, starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver, and Jodie Comer, but Maximus (Russell Crowe)’s deathless line from Gladiator still gets answered in the affirmative here.
“The Beatles: Get Back” Trailer Will Knock Your Socks Off
If you can watch this without drumming your fingers or tapping your feet, you’re made of stronger stuff than we are. The official trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back offers a stunning look at footage that has been locked in a vault for the past 50 years. That original film recording session, 60-hours worth of it, was shot by Michael Lindsay-Hogg in 1969, yet it was stored away and went more or less unseen and unheard—until now.

New “Halloween Kills” Behind-the-Scenes Video Brings Michael Terrifyingly Close
“Do you get sad when you have to kill cast members off?” is the first question posed to Halloween Kills director David Gordon Green in this new behind-the-scenes video released by Universal Pictures. Green doesn’t need more than a moment to reply, “Depends on who we’re killing.”
Such is this humorous tone of this new video, which takes us close—uncomfortably close, you might think—to that maestro of maniacs Michael Myers. The masked madman is back in Green’s follow-up to his gangbusters 2018 smash-hit Halloween,

“Eternals” Featurette Boasts Stunning New Footage & Promises MCU-Changing Epic
At the top of this new Eternals featurette, Dane Whitman (Kit Harrington) asks the right question of Sersi (Gemma Chan), one of the titular, immortal, hugely powerful Eternals. The question is simple: “Why didn’t you guys help fight Thanos? Or any war or all the other terrible things throughout history?” As MCU viewers, we all know that Thanos snapped half of all living things out of creation in Avengers: Infinity War, and that the Avengers assembled,
New “Eternals” Footage Reveals Epic Battle Between Immortal Beings
Some new Eternals footage is available for your viewing pleasure as we inch ever closer to the release date for Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao’s first Marvel film. The new spot, titled “Change,” directly links to the events in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, making it clear that although the Eternals weren’t active when the Avengers were fighting Thanos to save the world, they were, of course, quite aware of the problem.
Daniel Craig’s James Bond From “Casino Royale” to “No Time To Die”
And so we’ve come to the end. Daniel Craig’s final mission as James Bond in No Time To Die is now in theaters. By now you’ve likely heard all about Craig’s swan song as her Majesty’s most quarrelsome, effective double-o agent in director Cary Fukunaga’s thrilling epic. No Time To Die is the 25th film in the Bond franchise, five of which belong to Craig himself. His casting at the time was something of a surprise—a bruising blonde?—but now it looks like an absolute coup.
“The Matrix Resurrections” Cast Reflects on Legacy of “The Matrix”
“Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure is real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?”
You might recall these lines from the original The Matrix, spoken by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to Neo (Keanu Reeves) in the film that changed the game for not only sci-fi films going forward,

“No Time to Die” DP Linus Sandgren on Daniel Craig’s Epic Sendoff as James Bond
In No Time to Die, Daniel Craig gets two hours and 43 minutes to show James Bond fans what they’ll be missing once he exits his five-movie run as the world’s most enduring British spy.

Michael Keaton Says The Batsuit Still Fits 30 Years Later
You might have heard that Michael Keaton is reprising his role as Batman in director Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash. Now, you might expect that Keaton would require a new Batsuit from the one he wore in Tim Burton’s iconic Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), but you’d be wrong. During an interview on last night’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Colbert asked Keaton if he had to still try on the old Batsuit,
New “Eternals” Footage Hypes “Greatest Warriors the World Has Ever Known”
In a new TV spot for Marvel’s upcoming Eternals, one of their members claims they’re “the greatest warriors the world has ever known.” That would be Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), talking to a cameraman and doing a pretty serious bit of self-promotion. The claim seems a little hyperbolic considering the Eternals were a no-show while the Avengers were fighting Thanos and his intergalactic hordes. The Eternals didn’t just sit one fight out, they sat out three catastrophic brawls with Thanos when you add up Avengers,

New “No Time To Die” Images Reveal Sweeping Scope of Daniel Craig’s Final Mission
No Time To Die is nigh. The hotly-anticipated final film for Daniel Craig as James Bond arrives in theaters in the U.S. on October 8 after a stellar international opening. The 25th film in the venerable franchise finds Craig’s Bond pulled out of retirement for one last mission, this time against an opponent, Safin (Rami Malek) whose sociopathic designs are both global in implication and personal in their application. He wants Bond to suffer (with the rest of humanity along for the miserable ride),
Cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau on Plunging a Young Tony Soprano Into a Vintage World
Where did Tony Soprano come from? In The Many Saints of Newark, director Alan Taylor’s prequel to the HBO series, the show’s creator, David Chase, revisits a bygone Newark to give us Tony’s formative years via mid-century period piece. “Tony starts out as a six-year-old, and by the second time period, he’s a teenager,” says Kramer Morgenthau, the film’s cinematographer. As such, “there was the 1960s and then it goes into the 70s,
New “Eternals” Images Tease Marvel’s Most Expansive Film Ever
Yesterday we got a fresh look at director Chloé Zhao’s Eternals in a new TV spot that revealed some of the titular superheroes’ abilities. Now, we take a look at a bunch of new photos, including some compelling images of alien spacecraft, in one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year.
Zhao’s millennia-spanning epic focuses on the titular Eternals, a race of immortal beings who have been embedded quietly on Earth,
“The Many Saints of Newark” Director Alan Taylor Pictures a Young Tony Soprano
When writer David Chase created HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999, he ushered in the age of what is now fondly known as Peak TV. Often staged by director Alan Taylor, Chase’s contemporary crime drama, led by the late James Gandolfini as mob boss Tony Soprano, picked up 111 Emmy nominations including 21 wins by infusing a crew of New Jersey Mafiosi with gritty eloquence, Shakespearean-level betrayal, homicidal rage, family dysfunction and loads of psychological nuance.
