Marvel’s “Moon Knight” Trailer Reveals Oscar Isaac in Wild New Series
Marvel Studios has revealed the first official trailer for Moon Knight, their latest Disney+ series, revealing Oscar Isaac as the troubled Brit Steven Grant. Once again, Marvel has managed to mix up the tone and tenor of their latest series, offering a completely different vibe from what we’ve seen thus far in Hawkeye, Loki, What If…?, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and WandaVision. In Moon Knight,
Robert Pattinson Hints His Batman Isn’t Straight-Up Heroic
It was never a question that Robert Pattinson would be a different kind of Batman. He’s a wholly different kind of performer from the last two talented men who donned the cape and cowl, Ben Affleck and Christian Bale. What’s more, writer/director Matt Reeves had already promised that The Batman would be less like your typical superhero movie and more of a noir detective film. Add to that the fact that The Batman‘s synopsis calls Bruce Wayne a “

Director Nia DaCosta’s upcoming Captain Marvel sequel just nabbed composer Laura Karpman, a rising star in the industry. The five-time Emmy-nominee will join DaCosta’s The Marvels, adding yet another ace filmmaker to the talented crew. “I am thrilled to be going on this wild adventure with Nia DaCosta and Carol Danvers and am really looking forward to the collaboration,” Karpman said in a statement.

“Batgirl” HBO Max Movie Adds More Stars to Join Lead Leslie Grace
The population of Batgirl‘s Gotham is rising. The upcoming HBO Max movie starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon just added three new cast members. Rebecca Front, Ethan Kai, and Corey Johnson have joined the cast in unspecified roles. They’ll be dropping into a Gotham already inhabited by some big names. Along with Grace, Batgirl includes Michael Keaton reprising his role as Bruce Wayne, marking the second big project that Keaton will be donning the cape and cowl for.
“The Tragedy of Macbeth” Production Designer Stefan Dechant on Joel Coen’s Minimalist Masterpiece
Production designer Stefan Dechant has worked on detail-packed cinematic spectacles like Jurassic Park, Avatar, Pacific Rim: Uprising, and Kong: Skull Island. When he signed up for Joel Coen‘s black and white adaptation of The Tragedy of Macbeth, Dechant had to embrace a new aesthetic, stripping all decorative embellishments that might distract from the drama at hand.
“Aquaman 2” Has Officially Wrapped Production
We’re officially one big step closer to seeing director James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Wan took to Instagram to reveal that production has officially wrapped. The post shows Wan, Aquaman himself Jason Momoa, and Patrick Wilson, who plays Orm, looking pretty thrilled on a beach in Malibu, California. Here’s what Wan has to say in the post:
And finally, finally, finally picture wrap on the actual last day of #Aquaman2 in Malibu with these two gents @prideofgypsies @thereelpatrickwilson Yes,
“Dune” Writer/Director Denis Villeneuve on Bringing a Sci-Fi Epic to Life
When writer/director Denis Villeneuve set out to adapt Frank Herbert’s iconic opus “Dune” for the big screen, he was facing some massive obstacles. Herbert’s classic, set in part on the resource-rich, dangerous desert planet of Arrakis, is notoriously dense and massive. It inspired Star Wars creator George Lucas and Star Trek mastermind Gene Roddenberry, but they had the advantage of taking bits and pieces of Herbert’s iconography—the dangerous desert planet, warring intergalactic tribes,
“No Time To Die” Costume Designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb on Dressing Bond’s Allies & Adversaries
In part one of our conversation with No Time To Die costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb, we focused on the tall order of outfitting Daniel Craig for his fifth and final assignment as James Bond. In part two, we turn our attention to the allies and adversaries that populate Bond’s world, including two new agents, the love of his life, and a scarred sociopath who has designed a weapon that—spoiler alert—forces Bond to make the ultimate sacrifice.
“No Time To Die” Costume Designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb on Building the Apex Tuxedo
“Before Daniel, the Bond style, which was always very definitive, was being worn by someone who was more of a superhero character,” says No Time To Die costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb about the tall order of outfitting Daniel Craig for his fifth and final assignment as James Bond. “We didn’t really get the emotional landscape. We got the look, we got the icon, but we didn’t delve that much deeper. Daniel is a consummate actor and I really felt this responsibly to be able to costume him in a way that would live up to that Bond stratosphere,
Final “Scream” Trailer Suggests the Rules of The Game Have Changed
We’re just a few days away from the fifth Scream to hit theaters, and it’s already earning plaudits and raves. Paramount Pictures has delivered one final trailer to whet your appetite for a return trip to Woodsboro, and the gist of this last look is that it’s not enough to simply know the rules of the game to survive the new Ghostface.
The final Scream trailer focuses on how the return of the franchise’s stalwarts—Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell),
See How All The Trick Arrows in “Hawkeye” Were Created
Well, this is fun. Over the weekend, Marvel Studios released this video showing how the trick arrows in Hawkeye were created. Marvel’s most recent Disney+ series was arguably the lightest on its feet of all their series thus far, leaning into the comedic chemistry between Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) and Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). Part of the fun was how much of a fangirl Kate was for Clint, the least beloved Avenger (she told him it’s a branding issue) insofar as he’s quiet,
How “Nightmare Alley” Hair Designer Cliona Furey & Makeup Designer Jo-Ann MacNeil Made Magic
In Guillermo del Toro’s carnival noir Nightmare Alley, the visionary director eschews the supernatural for a period noir to fantastic effect. The film is set largely at a mid-20th-century second-rate carnival filled with schemers, dreamers, hustlers, weirdos, and femme Fatales, with del Toro acting as our carnival barker (that role in the movie actually belongs to Willem Dafoe), taking us on a tour of the lost souls plying their various trades in this shadowy world.
“Parallel Mothers” Trailer Reveals Penélope Cruz in Pedro Almodóvar’s Critically Acclaimed New Film
A new trailer for writer/director Pedro Almodóvar’s Parallel Mothers is here, and it’s a deliciously mysterious second look at his critically acclaimed new film with his muse, Penélope Cruz. Parallel Mothers opened the Venice Film Festival this past September and was met with rave reviews, with both auteur and star coming in for lavish praise. The New Yorker‘s Anthony Lane wrote “Almodóvar leaves us with an overwhelming sense that the pursuit of justice,
“Being the Ricardos” Cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth on Lighting Lucy and Desi
Aaron Sorkin’s Being the Ricardos follows Lucy (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Ricardo (Javier Bardem) during a hellacious week on set: in a blind item on his radio broadcast, Walter Winchell accuses Lucy of being a member of the Communist Party. While the show goes on and the beloved couple work to placate nervous executives, the film toggles between 1953 and flashbacks to Lucy’s rise in the late 1940s, from a brunette limited to the radio to her rightful place as America’s favorite flame-haired television comedian.
“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” has a New Villain – Bill Murray
Bill Murray might not strike you as the villainous type, but the beloved actor is ready to change your perception. During a recent interview on The Eli Manning Show, Murray confirmed that not only is he in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania but that the lovable legend is playing a villain.
Manning wasn’t exactly plying Murray for the goods. He simply asked Murray if it wasn’t true that he was going to be in a superhero movie coming out and,
“The Batman” New Images Includes the Riddler, the Penguin, & Catwoman
The Batman has just released a bunch of new images, with the villains finally stepping out of the shadows. Writer/director Matt Reeves’s film is finally headed our way—at long last—in a little under two months, and we’re starting to get a better feel for the tone of his vision for Gotham. The images include a few of the film’s central villains, the Riddler (Paul Dano), the Penguin (Colin Farrell), and a new shot of Batman (Robert Pattinson) and Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) sizing each other up on a rooftop.
The Legendary Sidney Poitier Has Passed Away at 94
The iconic Bahamian-American actor Sidney Poitier has passed away at 94, Bahamian news outlets reported Friday. His death was confirmed by Eugene Torchon-Newry, the acting director general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Bahamas. No other details have been provided yet.
Poitier broke a slew of barriers in Hollywood during his long, legendary career, including, in 1964, becoming the first Black man to win the Oscar for best actor. Poitier’s career was filled with many such firsts and his impact on both Hollywood and the culture at large was seismic.
“The Boys” Season 3 Teaser Reveals Release Date, With New Insane Superheroes Joining the Series
At long last, we know when The Boys will be back in town. Amazon Prime Video has revealed a new teaser for season 3, which gives us the first footage and that release date. Mark your calendars for June 3.

“Scream” Early Reactions: A Razor Sharp Return To Woodsboro
The first reactions for Paramount Pictures’ Scream have begun to gush like so much blood online, and the consensus that’s building is the fifth installment is a bloody good time. In fact, lots of the folks who got to see the latest addition to the franchise are calling it the best since Wes Craven’s brilliant 1996 original. With a killer third act, great performances (lots of people are shouting out newcomer Jasmin Savoy) and strong writing throughout,
“Ozark” Season 4 Trailer Reveals the Byrde Family’s Deadly Game
Netflix has just released the first trailer for Ozark‘s season 4, part 1. One of television’s most nervy, riveting series of the last couple of years is coming to end in a two-part, 14-episode run, with part 1 premiering on January 21. The trailer makes clear the stakes and the players of the game are changing rapidly. The Byrde family has gotten themselves so deeply involved that the threats they’re about to face will make their previous troubles seem almost quaint.
