“No Time To Die” Is Officially the Longest Bond Movie Ever

It was another lifetime ago (seriously, it feels like that) when we shared the news that No Time To Die was likely going to be the longest Bond movie ever made. This was way, way back in February of 2020 before the pandemic had changed everything. Now it’s official—United Artists has told domestic exhibitors not only the date that No Time To Die tickets can go on sale (September 17),

Writer/Producer Max Borenstein Delves Into the Human Cost of 9/11 in “Worth”

This September marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11. While many of the events that transpired that day have been captured on film, one lesser-known account of the tragedy just made its cinematic bow on Netflix. Worth chronicles the story of Kenneth Feinberg, the attorney charged with overseeing the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and, in so doing, putting a monetary value on the lives that were lost or suffered serious health issues as a result of the attack.

“The Matrix Resurrections” Trailer is a Dazzling Head Trip

“I’ve had dreams that aren’t just dreams.”

This is how the first trailer for The Matrix Resurrections begins, with Thomas (Keanu Reeves) speaking to a shrink (played by Neil Patrick Harris) about his experiences—which he’s clearly forgotten—years ago. “Am I crazy?” Thomas asks him, and although he’s told “we don’t use that word in here,” you get the feeling neither Thomas nor the shrink really believes he’s sane.

Thus,

“The Sopranos” Prequel “The Many Saints of Newark” Reveals New Trailer

If you were a fan of David Chase’s mesmerizing HBO juggernaut The Sopranos (and if you’re not, you’ve got some homework to do), then you’re going to find a lot to love in the second trailer for The Many Saints of Newark. But if even if you were coming at this fresh and didn’t know to laugh when baby Christopher is presented at the end of the trailer, crying at the sight of a young Tony Soprano (played by the late James Gandolfini’s son,

Vietnamese Filmmaker Le Binh Giang on His New Film “Who Created Human Beings” and Vietnam’s Growing Film Industry

Twisting the Natural Hair of “Candyman” from Art Chic to Dark Terror

Can having great hair protect you from a monster in the mirror who cuts down his victims at the mention of his name a mere five times? There’s evidence in the new Candyman that it can. Department head hairstylist Jessi Dean stepped elegantly into the glossy art world of Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris). The killer begins as a mere myth, but hair and terror intertwine as the rumors prove true and the slayings mount.

Breaking Down the Somber, Thrilling Final Trailer For “No Time To Die”

Last week, the final trailer for Daniel Craig’s final turn as James Bond was released, revealing the most sustained look at writer/director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s long-awaited film. The trailer makes it clear that No Time To Die will function as the final say in this iteration of the venerable spy, played with a pugnacious, lonely charm by Craig since Martin Campbell’s 2006 film Casino Royale when he memorably didn’t care whether his martini was shaken or stirred.

The Charismatic, Captivating Michael K. Williams is Gone at 54

Michael K. Williams, one of the most electrifying talents of the past 20-years, has passed away at 54. Williams was found dead in his home in Brooklyn, New York. It’s a heartbreaking loss.

It’s not hyperbole to say that Williams gave one of the most legendary performances in any TV series this century with his portrayal of Omar Little, the shotgun-toting, philosophically-bent stickup artist in David Simon’s groundbreaking series The Wire.

“Dune” Review Roundup: A Majestic, Astonishingly Vivid Epic Made for the Big Screen

Writer/director Denis Villeneuve’s hotly-anticipated Dune made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival this past Friday, where it received a seven-minute standing ovation. Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic, based on Frank Herbert’s iconic 1965 book, has been on our radar since we first learned he was taking on Herbert’s notoriously dense tome. It was always going to be an immensely challenging adaptation, but one that Villeneuve, fresh off back-to-back sci-fi knockouts with Arrival and Blade Runner: 2049 was ideally suited to take on.

Jason Momoa Reveals New Stealth Suit For “Aquaman 2”

The first thing you’ll note is the suit’s new color, which eschews the first film’s shimmering green and orange hues to go a bit darker,

“The Flight Attendant” Casting Directors on Booking HBO’s High-Flying Series

The Flight Attendant casting directors John Papsidera, Beth Bowling, and Kim Miscia had to book HBO Max’s hit series long before HBO Max was even a known quantity. Yet these veterans managed to fill The Flight Attendant‘s planeload of superb performers and earned an Emmy nomination for their efforts.

The Flight Attendant‘s cast delivers on the thrills, chills, laughs, and spills—the latter mostly via the drunken shenanigans of Kaley Cuoco’s Cassie Bowden.

Best of Summer: Daniel Craig’s Final Mission as James Bond is Nigh

Unlike most of our “Best of Summer” series, this is not an interview. But, it is a taste of what’s to come—Daniel Craig’s final mission as James Bond in the upcoming, long-awaited “No Time To Die.”

In the pantheon of iconic movie lines, few have the potency of the three words that make up “Bond, James Bond.” It’s this classic introduction that animates a brand new No Time To Die teaser,

“Untold: Breaking Point” Creators Examine Tennis Star Mardy Fish’s Battle With Severe Anxiety

Costume Designer Meghan Kasperlik on Capturing the Gritty Essence of “Mare of Easttown”

Costume designer Meghan Kasperlik did some serious fieldwork when she was preparing for HBO’s critical hit Mare of Easttown. One of her first research trips? To a Wawa in Coastville near where the series is set. The iconic chain is well known to residents of the greater Philadelphia area and southern New Jersey, and it proved an invaluable point of entry for Kasperlik to get a better sense of how the characters in Easttown would dress.
