Ralph Ineson’s Oral History Of “The Green Knight” is Fantastic

We’ve been excited about writer/director David Lowery’s The Green Knight since we first heard he was tackling an Arthurian legend, but we will happily admit that rather than take our word for why you should be excited about this film, you need to watch (and listen) to Ralph Ineson describe the inspiration for Lowery’s film, “Sir Gawain and The Green Knight,” in this new video. Ineson is not only a great actor (and the man who plays the titular Green Knight in Lowery’s film),

James Gunn Confirms “The Suicide Squad” Runtime & Post-Credits Scene

Writer/director James Gunn will often answer a fan’s or media outlet’s question (or two, or three) on Twitter, and end up revealing some pretty relevant information about his films. He’s done just that for The Suicide Squad, his upcoming foray into the DC Comics world for Warner Bros. Gunn confirmed both the exact runtime and the fact that there will be a post-credits scene. He also praised one of his actors, and threw a little good humored shade at one of his favorites.

“100 Foot Wave” Trailer Reveals HBO’s Monster Surfing Doc

For those of us who read William Finnegan’s gorgeous, often terrifying memoir “Barbarian Days,” we’ve been waiting for the cinematic equivalent of his epic story of hunting out waves across the globe. While Finnegan wasn’t himself a big wave surfer, he did encounter some monster swells, including one that almost killed him on Nazaré, Portugal, which brings us to HBO’s six-part documentary 100 Foot Wave. We got a look at the trailer yesterday,

First “Jurassic World: Dominion” Teaser Reveals Glimpse at Long-Awaited Dino Epic

We’ve been waiting for a peek at director Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World: Dominion and Universal has answered our dino prayers. A new teaser reveals our first look at the third film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and for those of us who are heading to see F9 on IMAX, there’s a lot more where this came from—an extended special preview of Dominion will play before Dom and the family put the pedal to the metal.

“Ted Lasso” Season 2 Trailer Reveals AFC Richmond’s Quest For Glory

The Ted Lasso welcome wagon has arrived! That’s how the first few seconds of the season 2 trailer begin, and frankly, this is the kind of cheerful morning message that would be annoying from anybody else but Ted Lasso (especially on a Monday). Apple TV’s critically acclaimed series returns on July 23, giving us a jolt of joy in the middle of summer, and the official trailer reveals Ted’s big plans to get AFC Richmond back on the winning track.

“Candyman” Director Nia DaCosta’s Stirring Juneteenth Message

One of the best TV spots for any film in 2020 was the gut-punch of a prologue Candyman director Nia DaCosta shared with the world on June 17 of that year. Exactly a year and a day later, DaCosta was back, sharing a different kind of message, but one equally potent, with her long-awaited film finally nearing its release date. DaCosta delivered the message the day before Juneteenth—now an officially recognized federal holiday—talking about what Juneteenth means to her,

M. Night Shyamalan Teases New Film “Old” at Tribeca

“No one has seen anything like it.”

This is what M. Night Shyamalan had to say about his new feature film, Old, at a panel at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival. Old originally began its life as a graphic novel, titled “Sandcastle,” by Pierre Oscar Levy and artist Frederick Peeters, but Shyamalan’s adaptation is “inspired by” rather than a straight page to script.

What are “Black Widow” Villain Taskmaster’s Abilities?

Now that the early reactions to director Cate Shortland’s Black Widow are hyping an action-packed, emotional spy thriller that completes the epic (and heartbreaking) story of Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), we thought we’d turn briefly to the film’s main villain, the Taskmaster.

One of Black Widow‘s big secrets is who is playing Taskmaster. Most Marvel theorists believe it’ll end up being one of the main characters,

Early “Black Widow” Reactions Hail Visceral & Emotional Spy Thriller

The first reactions to director Cate Shortland’s Black Widow are appearing online, describing an action-packed spy thriller that completes Natasha Romanoff’s (Scarlett Johansson) story in a visceral, emotional way. What more could we want from the first Marvel movie to hit theaters since 2019, and from the first stand-alone film featuring Johnasson’s beloved, and dearly departed, assassin-turned-Avenger? Unsurprisingly, Johansson is getting praised for an excellent final turn as the titular Black Widow, but there’s also a lot of chatter about Florence Pugh,

Oscar-Nominated Producer Rachel Winter on Her Directorial Debut “The Space Between”

Oscar-nominated producer Rachel Winter worked for years to help get Dallas Buyers Club made, deploying a cheerful tenacity that she’s again and again in her career. The tireless Winter has made a career of finding and shepherding projects, sometimes for years, that she believes in. Or, it might be more accurate to say that Winter has gotten projects made that she herself can’t shake, that she thinks about over and over again.

“Halston” Costume Designer Jeriana San Juan on Channeling a Fashion Icon

Starring Ewan McGregor and produced by Ryan Murphy, the Netflix miniseries series Halston charts the rise and fall of the iconic American fashion designer, by way of the glitzy, glamorous, and cocaine-addled Studio 54-era New York. We talk to costume designer Jeriana San Juan about getting into Halston’s head to create the pivotal pieces and teaching Ewan McGregor the tricks of the trade.      

Halston’s director Daniel Minahan said recently the show “lives and dies by the clothing and the costumes.” How did you go about meeting that challenge? 

Delight in The Official Trailer for Questlove’s “Summer of Soul”

One of this summer’s most intriguing releases is the ferociously talented Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson directorial debut, Summer of Soul. Questlove’s deep love and knowledge of music and his longstanding interest and involvement in film make Summer of Love a must-see. When the first teaser dropped during this year’s Oscars Ceremony (he was the Oscars’ musical director), we got our first good glimpse at his hybrid debut—part historical record,

“Lovecraft Country” Production Designer Kalina Ivanov on Melding History & Fantasy

Production designer Kalina Ivanov‘s work on Misha Green‘s Lovecraft Country was one of world-building and resurrecting. The world-building—which included creating more than 162 sets, challenged Ivanov and her team to create haunted houses, a Korean hanok home to a mythical creature, and a pirate ship (to name a few). For the resurrection portion of her work, Ivanov recreated Tulsa’s Greenwood district, known as “Black Wall Street,” the site of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre,

“12 Mighty Orphans” Costume Designer Goes Deep on Football Helmets & Fedoras

As underdog sports dramas go, it’s hard to improve on the fact-based 12 Mighty Orphans, which tracks a team of scrawny teenagers living in a Fort Worth orphanage as they progress from dead-last in their league to the 1938 state finals under the leadership of Coach Rusty Russell (Luke Wilson). Football fans might marvel at the antique charm of the players’ homemade uniforms while vintage fashion buffs can savor a cavalcade of period-perfect hats worn by Wilson,

Final “Tomorrow War” Trailer Features Chris Pratt’s Alien Foes

“We’re food, and they’re hungry,” says Romeo Command (Yvonne Strahovski) in the final trailer for The Tomorrow War. Romeo Command is a tough-as-nails soldier/scientist in the year 2051, and she’s doing her best to get Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) up to speed on just how bad things are going here in the future. That’s one of the conceits of director Chris McKay’s sci-fi feature—Dan has been plucked from his timeline and dropped into the future in an effort to help win the titular war against a race of hungry aliens.

“In The Heights” Supervising Sound Editor On Capturing a Musical City’s Magic

In The Heights is, in all ways, an epic collaboration. Director Jon M. Chu‘s adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony Award-winning musical, written by original playwright Quiara Alegria Hudes, summoned musicians, choreographers, and a vast team of filmmakers to pull off. It’s never easy to adapt something that was already massively successful in its original form, nor is it easy to make a compelling, modern musical. Throw a pandemic into the middle of it and you’ve cranked up your difficulty setting to eleven.

The Limitless World of Fashion Created by the “Bridgerton” Costume Designers

As we were all distancing ourselves from one another over the past year, Bridgerton burst into our homes with a voyeuristic view of steamy couples getting very, very close. The most indulgent fantasy of the series, however, was imagining the pleasure of putting on a magnificent Regency ensemble and actually having somewhere to go.

We have costume designers Ellen Mirojnick and John Glaser to thank for those scrumptious fashion treats.

“The Flash” Director Andy Muschietti Reveals Barry Allen’s New Logo

The Flash director Andy Muschietti knows how to build intrigue. Muschietti built all sorts of intrigue—and horror, and delight—with his two-part epic It and It: Chapter 2, and now he’s at the reigns of another big Warner Bros. film, trading in killer clowns for speedy superheroes. Muschietti took to Instagram to reveal the new logo for Barry Allen (Ezra Miller)’s super suit.

The image shows the Flash’s iconic gold lightning bolt,

“Star Trek: Discovery” Costume Designer Gersha Phillips on the Future of Fashion

Costume designer Gersha Phillips has been part of building the world of CBS Studios’ Star Trek: Discovery since the beginning, garnering acclaim for her futuristic and creative designs used on the show over its 3 seasons. The 3rd season in particular represented major costume challenges, as the Discovery crew gets propelled through time to almost a thousand years in the future. Phillips and her costume department were more than up to the task,

“Cruella” Sound Editor Mark Stoeckinger on Getting 1970s England Right

Whether it’s her bohemian attic lair, Liberty’s department store, or her job at an insufferable couture designer’s immaculate atelier, young Cruella, née Estella (Emma Stone) divides her time between very particular environments in 1970s England. She and her pals, Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Walter Hauser), are roommates, professional delinquents, and dog-lovers. A terrier and a chihuahua assist them in their lives of petty crime and everyone seems to get along in the free spirit of communal living funded by pickpocketing,
