“Obi-Wan Kenobi” Composer Natalie Holt Finds the Force

The series Obi-Wan Kenobi concluded to great acclaim, especially for star Ewan McGregor’s emotional performance in the title role, Moses Ingram’s intensity as Inquisitor Reva, and the astonishing cat-and-mouse game between Obi-Wan and his former protogé, Darth Vader. Speaking of Vader, Hayden Christensen returned to the role and gave a haunting performance, creating a richer, more tragic character arc for one of the greatest villains of all time. As with other Star Wars projects for the small screen,

“Stranger Things 4” Music Editor Lena Glikson on Cutting Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”

From the get-go, Netflix hit Stranger Things has excelled in the art and craft of needle drops. Encompassing eighties classics from David Bowie’s “Heroes” in Season One to “Everlasting Love” in Season Three, song choices curated by three-time Emmy nominated music supervisor Nora Felder have consistently amplified the characters’ emotions to uncanny effect. 

But nothing in Stranger Things’ previous hit list prepared audiences for this summer’s zeitgeist-smashing anthem “Running Up That Hill.”

Watch a Sneak Peek of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”

A mysterious ball of light arcs across the sky at the start of a new teaser for Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. While the light itself isn’t explained in this bite-sized glimpse at the streamer’s upcoming fantasy epic, it does light the path towards the real sneak peek now available for Amazon Prime subscribers. There’s every reason to believe that the concern on the faces of the Middle-earth residents as they watch the light burn across the sky is warranted.

Critics Call “Thor: Love and Thunder” a Heartfelt Epic With a Marvelous Villain

Epic guitar riffs from Guns N Roses? Check. Even more insanity than Thor: Ragnarok? Check again. A full-throated cosmic adventure that pivots from gleeful lunacy to heartfelt emotions?

“Elvis” Editors Jonathan Redmond & Matt Villa on Keeping the King’s Story Rocking Along

The broad strokes of Elvis’s (Austin Butler) life are all there in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis — the precarious childhood, Army stint, loss of his beloved mother, marriage to Priscilla (Olivia DeJonge), glittering Las Vegas residency masking a perilous personal descent. But this isn’t a biopic. Rather, the director’s first feature since 2013’s The Great Gatsby is also an electrifying tale of rags to riches to ruin, this time set to a compelling score mixing the best of the King’s musical catalog with unexpected contemporary bops.

Go on a “Thor: Love and Thunder” Adventure in Electric New Look

Taika Waititi has more to do with turning Thor into the funniest Avenger than just about everybody not named Chris Hemsworth (and even Hemsworth might agree that Waititi deserves a pinch more credit). But the funny, abundantly talented Waititi isn’t one to go scarfing around for credit. In a new video released by Marvel Studios, “A Taika Waititi Adventure,” Hemsworth and the Love and Thunder cast and crew have a little fun with their director.
