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.

You just had to know that Aquaman would be getting some fresh duds for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Momoa shared the new look on Instagram, where he posed side-by-side shots of the previous suit and his new “stealth suit,” and you’ll notice some big changes.

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.

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.

The excitement was high in the Ingelsby house this past July 13. Like many in the television industry, writer/producer Brad Ingelsby and his family were watching this year’s Emmy nominations. He had good reason to tune in. Mare of Easttown, the HBO Max original series Ingelsby had created, had plenty of awards buzz.

The Emmy-Nominated “Ted Lasso” Editors on Cutting to the Funny

Apple’s Ted Lasso is one of the funniest series out right now. But it’s more than the laughs that will keep you watching. The writing is clever, the performances are refreshing, and there’s a depth to the characters that make you even cheer on the ones you hate. Well, maybe not Rupert, played devilishly well by actor Anthony Head.

The series centers on Ted (Jason Sudeikis), a former college football coach who’s been handpicked to coach a pro soccer club in England by new owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham),

From superheroes to cardsharps, from the mean streets of New York to the distant planet of Arrakis, the year will end with a thrilling mix of genres and stories from some of the best filmmakers in the business.

How “Candyman” Composer Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe Manipulated Madness Into Music

It’s hard to believe that someone as soft-spoken as Brooklyn musician Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe could be responsible for the dread-inducing soundscape that underscores the return of cinema’s most horrific throat-slashing boogeyman. And yet, that’s exactly what Lowe has achieved in his score for Candyman (opening Aug. 27). The film, from co-writer/director Nia DaCosta and co-writer/producer Jordan Peele, updates the original 1992 horror movie by tracking artist Anthony (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) as he tries to wrap his bee-stung arms around the mysterious re-emergence of the murderous Candyman in Chicago’s newly gentrified Cabrini Green neighborhood.

See Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana in First “Spencer” Trailer

The moment we heard director Pablo Larraín was helming a film about Princess Diana starring Kristen Stewart, we were intrigued. Adding to the intrigue was the fact the script was from Peaky Blinds creator Steven Knight, and that the film would focus not on the entire, tragic saga of Princess Di’s marriage, divorce, and death, but a snapshot in time when Diana’s world was starting to unravel. Spencer focuses on just a few days in Princess Di’s life,

“Candyman” Review Round-Up: Searing, Strikingly Beautiful, & Savage

The reviews are in for writer/director Nia DaCosta’s Candyman, and they only further cement DaCosta’s status as one of the rising stars of her generation. “It’s easy to shock viewers with splatter but the old gut-and-run gets awfully boring awfully fast. Far better is the slow creep, the horror that teases and then threatens,” writes The New York Times’s Manohla Dargis. DaCosta’s film teases,

New “Dune” Images Reveal One of the Year’s Most Anticipated Films

Writer/director Denis Villeneuve is already hard at work on the script for Dune 2, while we all patiently await the arrival of the first part of his (we hope) two-part epic. Warner Bros. has revealed a new slew of images from Dune, which is the first attempt at a big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s monumental sci-fi novel since David Lynch gave it a shot—with mixed results—way back in 1984.

The images speak to the sweeping epic that Villeneuve,
