The First Trailer for Amazon’s The Report is Riveting

Well, this looks downright terrific. Amazon Studios has released the first trailer for The Report, a political thriller starring Adam Driver (and a huge, awesome ensemble cast), written and directed by Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum, Contagion). This trailer zips right along and manages to be both immensely satisfying and deeply sad, simultaneously. That’s because the titular report refers to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA torture,

Joaquin Phoenix Explains What Made him Want to do Joker

Most people know by now that Joaquin Phoenix was, at one point, circling the character of Doctor Strange. While it’s hard to imagine Phoenix in that role now (Benedict Cumberbatch has been an excellent Sorcerer Supreme), Phoenix has the acting chops to play just about anyone he wants. So when the news broke that he was going to take on the most iconic villain role of all time, people were both enthused and a little shocked.

The Big Star Wars Questions the D23 Expo Could Answer

The Walt Disney Company is hosting their biannual D23 Expo this upcoming weekend in Anaheim. Like Comic-Con in San Diego, the D23 Expo is the place for big reveals, only these are projects solely from Disney, Pixar and Marvel. Those three studios produce more than enough, of course, to fuel a weekend full of happy surprises. We got a ton of Marvel news at Comic-Con this past July, and while there’s likely to be fresh information coming from D23 from Marvel and Pixar,

Now we Know Where Jon Snow Was Going in Final Game of Thrones Shot

The final shot in Game of Thrones took us all the way back to the beginning, only with a decidedly very different tone. Game of Thrones opened north of the wall, where the resurgent White Walkers were leaving gruesome clues (dead bodies and body parts) for the living. The final shot in the series was of Jon Snow (Kit Harington), north of the wall, heading into a future in which the White Walkers and their undead minions were dead.

It: Chapter Two Early Reactions Praise Gruesomely Ambitious Sequel & Standout Bill Hader

It: Chapter Two has now screened, which means all those early reactions are flooding online. Twitter, of course, is the central hive of first impressions, and we’ve compiled a bunch for you here. One of the things we’ve seen over and over is that Bill Hader is just really good in this film. This is…not at all surprising. The reactions are mostly positive and speak to the hugely ambitious scope of Andy Muschietti’s two-part It adaptation.

The Matrix 4 is a Reality! Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss & Lana Wachowski Returning

Time to take the red pill. While we’ve long thought that Warner Bros. would be rebooting The Matrix for a new generation, meaning, it would restart the seminal sci-fi franchise rather than carry on with the storyline that began with Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s game-changing 1999 film, we’re happy that that’s not the case. Variety reports that The Matrix 4 is the film Warner Bros. will be releasing,

The Official Title for the Next James Bond Film Revealed

Watch The Dark Crystal‘s Cast Discuss Netflix’s Epic new Series

The anticipation for Netflix’s new series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is no joke. The combination of voice talent, the blend of practical effects (especially puppetry) and CGI, and the glimpses we’ve seen of the series thus far have created a groundswell of excitement. Now Netflix has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette that reveals stars Simon Pegg, Natalie Dormer, Taron Egerton, Jason Isaacs, and Executive Producer Lisa Henson talking about the ambitious new project.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Returning to Theaters With Extra Action Scene

Spider-Man is swinging back into theaters. Spider-Man: Far From Home, which became Sony’s top-grossing film of all time after topping Sam Mendes’ and Daniel Craig’s excellent Bond caper Skyfall (2012), is headed back to theaters over Labor Day weekend. Like Avengers: Endgame before it, Far From Home will come back boasting new footage. In this case, it’ll include a brand new action scene. What that scene is,

How Ready or Not’s Editor Amped up the Emotional Stakes

Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet’s Ready or Not has been getting rave reviews. They’ve taken a simple childhood game and turned it on its head, to devilishly delightful results.

We’ve been following Stallone’s emotionally scarred Vietnam journey for a long, 

Apple TV+ Reveals First Trailer for Star-Studded The Morning Show

We’ve finally got our first look at Apple TV’s star-studded upcoming series The Morning Show, and we’re eager to see more. Starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carrell (how’s that for a lineup?), The Morning Show gives us an inside look at the brutally cutthroat world of morning TV, and what happens when a co-anchor on a popular morning show (Carrell’s Mitch Kessler) is fired in the wake of a scandal.

How the Emmy-Nominated Casting Director of When They See Us Found Her Talent

Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us was an instant Netflix hit, which even the normally secretive streaming site revealed to viewers in a tweet. Unsurprisingly, the show is also among the Emmy’s leading contenders, nominated in the best limited-run series category and garnering nods for DuVernay’s writing and directing and Bradford Young’s cinematography, among others. The show’s many noms also include eight actors, with Jharrel Jerome (the only person in the series to take on his role,

Watch Kristen Stewart in First Trailer for new Thriller Underwater

Kristen Stewart has so successfully navigated her post-Twilight career that any film she’s in warrants interest. She has starred in a bevy of excellent films, including working with the great Olivier Assayas on two recent films; Personal Shopper (2016) and Clouds of Sils Maria (2014). Stewart will be an Angel later this year—she’s one of the leads in Elizabeth Banks’ upcoming Charlie’s Angels reboot due in theaters on November 15,

How Stunt Man Gary Kent Inspired Brad Pitt’s Character in Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood

Gary Kent broke all his ribs when he got run over by a cavalcade of motorcycles in The Vengeful Seven and cut his arm on a shattered shot glass a year earlier in 1967 during a Hell’s Angels on Wheels bar fight. “I wrapped my arm in a towel and on the way to the hospital we stopped for a couple of scotch and waters, so I was in a pretty good mood when they gave me 36 stitches,”

Black Widow Casts 7’2″ Bodybuilder The Dutch Giant

If you’re anything like us, you’ve re-watched Avengers: Endgame recently and found yourself once again very sad (super belated spoiler alert) at the death of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. Then again, if you’re like us, you’re gladdened by the fact that Johansson’s super-assassin will be back soon—next May 1, 2020, to be exact—in her stand-alone film Black Widow. Now we’ve learned that bodybuilder Olivier Richters, better known as The Dutch Giant,

See how They Made the Cap vs. Cap Fight in Avengers: Endgame

It was one of the greatest fights in Marvel Cinematic Universe history. There, we said it. Think about how many fights there have been in the MCU, and then think about how many you enjoyed more than watching Captain America fight Captain America in Avengers: Endgame? Not that many, right? Now we have a fantastic behind-the-scenes video from Marvel showing us exactly how they pulled off this iconic brawl.

The fight is yet more proof that not only was a tremendous amount of visual effects work required to pull off the Russo Brothers’
