The First No Time to Die Trailer Reveals Epic Bond Action
And we’re off! The first official trailer for co-writer and director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s No Time to Die is here, and it reveals the kind of epic Bond action you’d hope for. Daniel Craig is back as 007, and from this two-and-a-half-minute glimpse, it looks like he’s found yet another great collaborator in Fukunaga. The director of True Detective‘s excellent first season and Beasts of No Nation knows a thing or two about riveting action scenes.
New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker TV Spot Reveals Rey vs. Kylo Duel
At this point perhaps you’re hoping to just put the blinders on and not see another piece of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker promo material. We get that. With the December 20 premiere date heading towards us faster than the Millennium Falcon in hyperdrive, we’ve been getting a lot of fresh TV spots. Yet for those of us who can’t help ourselves (or write about this for a living), every spot offers a glimpse of something new from the 9th and final installment in the Skywalker Saga.
Rami Malek’s Bond Villain Revealed in new No Time to Die Posters
Yesterday we got the teaser. Tomorrow we’ll get the trailer. Today, we get a bunch of new posters from No Time to Die, the 25th installment in the venerable Bond franchise. The new posters give us a look at our main characters—minus a Ralph Fiennes’ M here and a Naomie Harris’s Moneypenny there. Who we do have are James Bond himself (Daniel Craig, obviously), Léa Seydoux’s Madeline Swann,
Let’s Discuss That Epic Twist in Watchmen‘s Brilliant Episode “An Almost Religious Awe”
Last week we interviewed Watchmen costume designer Megan Kasperlik about her brilliant work on one of TV’s most thrilling new shows. In the world of Watchmen, what a character wears tells you a lot. Does their mask have an inkblot on it? Then they’re a part of the white supremacist group the 7th Calvary. Does her mask come with a badge? Then you’re talking about someone like Angela Abar (Regina King),
Heading Abroad With Charlie’s Angels Location Manager
After a sixteen-year hiatus, the sorority, camaraderie, and crime-fighting of Charlie’s Angels is back, newly helmed by Elizabeth Banks, who also wrote the script and plays one of the movie’s chief supporting roles. No longer reporting to a Los Angeles-based Charlie, the Angels are taking on lawlessness around the globe for the Townsend Agency, supported by a gaggle of Bosleys (played by Patrick Stewart, Djimon Hounsou, and Banks). At the heart of the caper is Elena (Naomi Scott),
The Thrilling Black Widow Trailer Reveals a Pre-Avenger Natasha Romanoff
Many folks have been waiting for a stand-alone Black Widow film for a long time—we’re among them. When Marvel finally revealed that Scarlett Johansson’s super-spy would, in fact, be getting her own movie, there was plenty of reason to rejoice. Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff has been one of the most compelling characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a former KGB super-spy who somehow broke free from her former captors/trainers and, after a very long and winding road,
A New No Time to Die Teaser Reveals Glimpse of next Bond Movie
We are very much looking forward to the official trailer for No Time to Die, the 25th installment in the Bond franchise, which arrives this Wednesday. We know this thanks to a new teaser, which gives us a look at co-writer and director Cary Joji Fukunaga’s upcoming film. No Time to Die sees our favorite super-spy trying out retirement (you can guess how that goes). Fukunaga will unveil the official trailer during his appearance on Good Morning America in two days.
Composer Christophe Beck on Returning for a Second Round of Ice & Earworms in Frozen II
In Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck’s Frozen II, sisters Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell) are back, older and wiser and reunited for good. Unfortunately, Elsa, now Queen of Arendelle, is still having trouble with her ice-making powers, a disturbance that arrives this time around via a mysterious siren call she can’t make anything of without following it to the Enchanted Forest, where it turns out an indigenous people,
Flying Stormtroopers & Rey’s Jedi Mind Trick Highlight new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker TV Spot
We’ve seen Rey (Daisy Ridley) take out Praetorian Guards, best Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in a lightsaber duel, and generally exhibit an incredible amount of Force ability since she burst on the scene in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. Yet in this new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker clip, we get to see her use a Jedi mind trick for the first time.
Leia Holds a Lightsaber in new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Spot
When Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016, the world lost not only an incredible actress but also a sensational writer—and one of the funniest, most bracingly honest talents in Hollywood. For the world of Star Wars, Fisher’s passing meant that her most iconic role of all—Leia Organa—would now possibly have her arc handled off-screen, a deeply sad development for one of the franchise’s most important characters.
Watchmen’s Costume Designer Meghan Kasperlik on This Extraordinary Series
Now that Watchmen has made its glorious debut on HBO and confounded just about every expectation, we can say with confidence that Damon Lindelof’s adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons iconic graphic novel is a remarkable testament to the original and a bold, powerful piece of original storytelling itself. The reason is Lindelof and his incredible team of writers, directors, actors, and crew hasn’t adapted the graphic novel itself,
Tom Hiddleston Watching his Thor Audition is Hilarious
Tom Hiddleston has been one of the most reliably delightful figures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since he first made his sneering entrance as Loki in Joss Whedon’s game-changing Avengers in 2012. Yet did you know Hiddleston actually auditioned for the role of Thor? The two Asgardian brothers really couldn’t be more different. Loki, as the trickster God, is not only a morally vacuous opportunist, he’s also willowy, dark-haired, and petulant. Thor, of course,
Sam Mendes’ World War I Epic 1917 is Being Hailed as a Masterpiece
We knew co-writer/director Sam Mendes’ 1917 was going to be special (he wrote the script with Krysty Wilson-Cairns). He’s a director of extraordinary talent who surrounds himself with the same caliber of cast and crew. When we heard that his cinematographer was not only the legendary Roger Deakins but that the film had been conceived to essentially feel like a single continuous shot, we were even more excited.
A New The Irishman Featurette Focuses on The Incredible Cast
To say that Martin Scorsese’s new film The Irishman is a movie by a heavyweight and starring heavyweights would be putting it mildly. The legendary auteur has assembled yet another incredible cast (Scorsese has never struggled to attract talent), yet The Irishman‘s ensemble feels almost valedictory. De Niro. Pescio. And, for the first time, Pacino starring in a Scorsese film. And these are just your three leads. The rest of the cast is gangbusters,
Writer/Director Noah Baumbach on his Devastating Marriage Story
Writer/director Noah Baumbach’s substantial body of work has often explored families in all their painful, darkly funny dysfunction, evolving from the perspective of an adolescent witness to the break-up of his parents in his 2005 second feature, the Oscar-nominated The Squid and the Whale, to the poignant, middle-aged observations of a son coming to terms with his estranged family and self-absorbed father in 2017’s The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected).
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy Consulted George Lucas Before The Rise of Skywalker
As we approach the premiere date for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the saga that George Lucas began 42-years ago nears its end. Sure, Star Wars will live on, but the Skywalker Saga that Lucas dreamed up four decades ago and has spanned three distinct trilogies is finally coming to a close. Co-writer and director J.J. Abrams, his cast and his crew will have the final say over the fates of Luke,
Here’s the First Teaser for The Walking Dead: World Beyond
The world of The Walking Dead is getting even bigger. AMC has revealed our first full look at their latest spinoff, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, which stars Julie Ormond as Elizabeth, a leader of a large, ferocious force contending with, you guessed it, the zombie apocalypse. “We are the last light of the world,” Ormond’s Elizabeth says in the new teaser. “We are the last hope.” Then we see members of her masked forces do some pretty brutal stuff,
Revel in Four Decades of Star Wars in This New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Special Look
The new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker material is coming fast and furious. Disney is giving us all something to be thankful for—a few days early, in fact—before this Thanksgiving with a glut of fresh footage and glimpses at this era-capping epic. We’ve seen an actual clip from the film (!!), a new TV spot, and now this “Special Look” featurette, which takes us back 42-years to the very beginning of the Skywalker Saga.
Stormtroopers Fly in New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Clip
Stormtroopers fly now. Seriously.
Okay, we knew there would be a flurry of TV spots and a few new photos before Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters in less than a month, but an actual clip from the film? Yeah, this is surprising. If you’re of the mind that you know all you need to before seeing the 9th and final film in the Skywalker Saga, we get that.
Knights of Ren Appear in new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker TV Spot
A new TV spot for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker gives credence to the notion that this will be the most action-packed Star Wars film in the franchise’s 42-year history. Co-writer and director J.J. Abrams and his huge, talented cast and crew aren’t just ending the new trilogy, they’re delivering the coda to the entire Skywalker Saga. That’s 9 feature films dating back to 1977’s Star Wars: IV –
