New “Moon Knight” Video Reveals Marvel’s Most Twisted New Superhero

“This is the best worst day of my life,” says Stephen Grant (Oscar Isaac), a mild-mannered gift shop employee who makes a fantastic discovery in Moon Knight. That discovery is that he’s also Marc Spector, a mercenary whose dangerous life as a superpowered avenging angel is the polar opposite of Stephen’s quiet existence. Marc is, in every sense, a completely unexpected doppelganger, one who is all mixed up with everything from supervillains to the Egyptian gods.

New “Morbius” Video Promises the Official Opening of the Sony/Marvel Multiverse

“Morbius is and always has been a standout persona in the Marvel lore,” says Jared Leto at the top of a new Morbius vignette. Leto takes on the role of Dr. Michael Morbius, one of the strangest, most misunderstood characters in Marvel’s vast canon. In the film, from director Daniel Espinosa, Leto’s Dr. Morbius is a decent if monstrously ambitious man trying to cure the world of a rare blood disorder. The catch is the good doctor suffers from the disorder himself,

Cinematographer Jon Furmanski Reunites With Amy Schumer in “Life & Beth”

When she co-hosts ABC’s Oscar telecast on March 27, Amy Schumer will likely deliver the kind of withering punch lines that forged her reputation as one of America’s most daring comedians. But in her new Hulu series Life & Beth (which debuted on March 18) Schumer brings unexpected angst to her title character, an unhappy wine salesperson trying to make a fresh start in the face of death, disapproval, and dysfunctional family ties.

How “The Batman” Batsuit Designers Went Lean & Mean

Outside of The Batman writer/director Matt Reeves (who co-wrote the script with Peter Craig), Glyn Dillon and David Crossman probably have The Batman‘s coolest credits attached to their names. Both share the title of Batsuit costume designers, with Dillon serving as chief concept artist and Crossman the costume supervisor. In terms of superhero icons, it doesn’t get much better than designing the Caped Crusader, and the tandem created a unique silhouette for a younger Bruce Wayne,

Marvel Teases Return of “Luke Cage,” “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones” & More on Disney+

The Marvel Cinematic and Television Universe is expanding on Disney+. Long before Disney+ existed, Marvel Studios had a bunch of strong, darker live-action series on Netflix. Those series— Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, The Punisher, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and The Defenders offered a different point of entry for Marvel fans, often focusing on the darker storylines, and characters, in their vast canon.

“Winning Time” Costume Designer Emma Potter on Making Magic With the Lakers

Working on Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty didn’t require an advanced degree in NBA fandom in general and Lakes lore specifically, yet a lot of the folks involved had both. Hecht himself is a lifelong Lakers fan, and writer Rodney Barnes has loved basketball his whole life, and everyone likes Magic Johnson. Yet, one of the key people who helped give Winning Time its period-perfect look admits she was neither a massive b-ball fan or a follower of the NBA.

“The Batman” Cinematographer Greig Fraser on Finding Light in the Darkness

At a gripping three hours, The Batman isn’t so much an endurance test as it is a lengthy visual puzzle, one that takes place primarily after hours. Director Matt Reeves’s take on Batman (Robert Pattinson) may be the franchise’s most disaffected nocturnal not-so-superhero yet. Working, brooding, and convening with Alfred (Andy Serkis) from dusk ’til dawn, this Bruce Wayne is consumed by trying to undo a complex web of official corruption hidden by Gotham City’s entrenched crop of violent mafiosos.

After Yang cinematographer Benjamin Loeb knew the minute he met South Korean-born director Kogonada that theirs would not be a standard show biz collaboration. When Loeb called from his native Oslo to Zoom interview for the DP job, he and Kogonada barely mentioned the project at hand. Instead, they talked about ramen. “We spent hours talking about the complexion of broth and what makes the broth look good and feel good,” Loeb recalls.

“Shining Vale” Cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker Blends Creepy With Comedy

Courteney Cox is seeing spirits in the new Starz series Shining Vale. Her success in both the top-rated sitcom Friends and blockbuster horror series Scream meet at a sublime suburban crossroads. The pilot’s cinematographer, Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, laughingly admits that the show wasn’t such an obvious fit for her at first. 

“I don’t get asked to shoot comedy,” Whitaker said. “I am the antithesis of someone who gets asked to shoot comedy because my work is a little bit dark.”

‘A little bit dark’ is just what Shining Vale calls for in both atmosphere and humor.
