Does “The Suicide Squad” Have the Best Ensemble Cast of 2021?

The DC FanDome event brought us a ton of new teasers, trailers, images, and actual information about some of the films we’re most excited to see.

The Emmys have spoken: The ballots are in, and among the most-nominated shows was Disney’s first live action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.

The Final “Tenet” Trailer is a Big, Beautiful Puzzle

While this weekend saw a ton of major Warner Bros. related trailer reveals thanks to the DC FanDome Event, Christoper Nolan’s Tenet, decidedly not a superhero movie but a film with some super wild abilities on display nonetheless, revealed it’s the final trailer, too.

Here’s the First Trailer for “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”

By now you likely know the story of how Zack Snyder’s Justice League came to be. The broad strokes are that Snyder was helming the original Justice League when he had to leave the production, and the film was taken over by director Joss Whedon. The result, released in 2017, wasn’t something Snyder ever felt connected to. After much fan demand on social media, Snyder, his team, and Warner Bros.

Cinematographer Jay Keitel on Shooting the Deliciously Creepy “She Dies Tomorrow”

Director Amy Seimetz’s new feature, She Dies Tomorrow, opens on a tight close-up of a teary blue eye ringed with streaked mascara. When we next see Amy (Kate Lyn Sheil), the film’s patient zero, she’s dazedly moving through her sunny new Los Angeles home. The house is modest and half unpacked, but hip light fixtures and the beginnings of some artsy wallpaper hint at what once had been a more normal life.

Olivia Wilde Will Direct Female-Centered Marvel Movie For Sony

Star-Studded Cast Converge in Kenneth Branagh’s Murder Mystery “Death on the Nile”

Kenneth Branagh’s first stab (pun intended!) at adapting an Agatha Christie novel went as smoothly as the perfect crime. His 2017 hit Murder on the Orient Express matched his impressive direction, acting (and that world-beating mustache) with a fantastic cast and stellar sets. Branagh is back with his second Christie adaptation, Death on the Nile. He returns as mustachioed detective Hercule Poirot, who trades in a frosty train trip for a sultry Egyptian river steamer.
