Yeah, this is a dream team.

Now he and Radiohead’s genius frontman, Thom Yorke, have collaborated on a new short film for Netflix.

Jaws Created the Summer Blockbuster 44 Years Ago Today

It was on this day, 44-years ago, that Steven Spielberg created the summer movie season. Before Jaws, summer was a time for sunbathing, not heading out to the multiplex. Then on June 20, 1975, a 28-year old Spielberg delivered a film that changed the calculus of how films are distributed. His game-changing thriller about a rogue Great White with a taste for human flesh marks the moment the film industry changed.

What Secrets Might a Black Widow Movie Reveal?

Now that we know Marvel is returning to Comic-Con’s Hall H this July, we can start to speculate what they’re going to reveal in the grandest venue in San Diego. With Marvel’s Phase 3 about to officially come to a close with the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, there’s a lot of change afoot at Disney’s super studio. They wouldn’t be taking over Hall H if they weren’t ready to share their vision of what’s to come.

Early Reactions to Spider-Man: Far From Home Praise Post Endgame Adventure

As the concussive power of Avengers: Endgame finally starts to lift, Marvel is just about to release Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home, the final film in Phase 3.

Early Reactions to Midsommar Hype Horror Masterpiece

Jordan Peele loved it, and now it seems others who have gotten an early look at Ari Aster‘s Midsommar agree—this film is a wicked, wild horror masterpiece. It’s also funny! Early reactions to Aster’s follow-up to his smashing, terrifying 2018 debut Hereditary are starting to surface online. The reactions are essentially raves. Aster seems to have pulled off the very tricky feat of nailing his second film.

Avengers: Endgame Returning to Theaters With Extra Footage

If you thought that the original theatrical release of Avengers: Endgame could have been a little longer, you’re going to be very happy indeed.

Marvel is Coming to Comic-Con’s Hall H—What are They Coming With?

Well, this is big news in the world of film. Deadline reports that Marvel is returning to Comic-Con’s Hall H after sitting out last year’s fest.

Considering we’ve just witnessed the culmination of a 22-film art with Avengers: Endgame, 

The Game of Thrones Prequel Pilot has Begun Filming

If you’re still not quite over the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, you’re not alone. HBO’s record-breaking series has only just ended after a shortened, controversial final six episodes. Regardless of how you felt about the ending, GoT became something truly rare in our culture of atomized interests, infinite options and niche programming—must-see programming that millions of people dutifully waited to watch. Considering the success of the series and the richness of George R.

Former Mythbusters Cohost Built a Real-Life Iron Man Suit That Actually Flies

If anyone was going to be able to build an actual, working Iron Man suit, former Mythbuster cohost Adam Savage would have been a great bet to pull it off. Savage revealed the suit for the first episode of his new Discovery series Savage Builds. He worked with a group of engineers who helped him 3D-print a titanium suit that took its inspiration directly from Tony Stark himself.

Spencer Averick on Finding Truth & Humanity in the Edit of When They See Us

Netflix rarely releases viewer numbers, but on June 12th, the streaming service tweeted that Ava DuVernay’s miniseries When They See Us has been its most-watched content in the US since the show’s premiere on May 31st. In the UK, When They See Us has been running second only to Black Mirror. But audiences hardly need to turn to Black Mirror’s fictional,

New Spider-Man: Far From Home Images & Footage Tease Ambitious Final Film in Marvel’s Phase 3

There are a few things we’ve learned about Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home that speaks to how this film is a lot more than just the chaser to Avengers: Endgame‘s very strong shot. One is the fact that it deals directly (spoiler alert for those of you who haven’t seen Endgame) with Tony Stark’s death. The second is that Far From Home teases out the repercussions of Endgame‘s time-traveling madness by introducing the multiverse.

How Russian Doll’s Cinematographer Owned the Night in Netflix’s hit Series

“Joel was amazing for coming up with solutions for turning New York into a Russian Doll city.”  The Big Apple already boasts its share of Russian dolls, mobsters, peroshkis, and more, of course, but cinematographer Chris Teague is instead referring his gaffer, Joel Minnich, and the recent hit Netflix series of the same title, which he shot.

Starring co-creator, co-producer (and for one episode, director) Natasha Lyonne, Russian Doll follows the various embedded and unraveling realities of Nadia,

Here’s Your First Look at Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story

There isn’t a genre that Steven Spielberg can’t tackle. The legendary director has worked in nearly every genre, save one. He’s delivered groundbreaking CGI spectacles from Jurassic Park to Ready Player One, and taut espionage thrillers like Bridge of Spies or Munich. He’s obviously a master of sci-fi (not only does Ready Player One qualify, but so does Close Encounters of the Third Kind,

Carmen Ejogo on her Pivotal Role in True Detective’s Season Three

In season three of True Detective, creator and writer Nic Pizzolatto returns to the series’ Southern Gothic roots, with two detectives, Vietnam vet Wayne “Purple” Hays (Mahershala Ali) and Roland West (Stephen Dorff) trying to solve the murder of one child and the disappearance of another in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Hays takes the lead on the case in 1980 and is doing desk work and starting to lose his memory by the time we reach 1990 (West,

Jared Harris on Creating Valery Legasov, Chernobyl’s Reluctant Hero

It’s the lies told throughout Craig Mazin’s five-episode series Chernobyl that get you. After all, most anybody watching the HBO program set in today’s northern Ukraine will already know that the Soviet nuclear plant exploded in 1986, the area was eventually evacuated, and the adjacent newly-built town of Pripyat transformed into a ghost city, as did 1,000 square miles of other towns and villages in what’s now known as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

Todd Phillips Scares up a new Image of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker

While we’ve still got more than four months until writer/director Todd Phillips’ Joker hits the big screen, it’s fairly incredible how little we actually know about the film. The first stand-alone film for one of the most iconic villains in comic book (or comic book movie) history, Joker gets extra intrigue points for having Joaquin Phoenix in the title role. We’ve parsed the trailer for every conceivable Easter Egg,

Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ VFX Supervisor on Giving Mythic Dimension to the Titans

Godzilla first came to life in 1954 when actor Haruo Nakajima put on a sweltering 220-pound suit and tromped around a Tokyo soundstage smashing miniature buildings. Orchestrated by special effects genius Eiji Tsuburaya, the black and white Godzilla, King of the Monsters terrified movie audiences and effectively birthed the Kaiju cinematic universe of radiation-mutated ogres. This summer, Godzilla: King of the Monsters version 2 relied on five visual effects shops to digitally resuscitate the gargantuan title reptile and fellow titans Rodan,

Which Villains Will Appear in Matt Reeves The Batman?

Now that we know Robert Pattinson is the next Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves The Batman, the focus can turn towards the villains. There has been quite a lot of speculation on the old internet (you don’t say?) about which of the many iconic Batman villains might appear. One of the things that have always made Batman such a great superhero, both in the comics and on the big screen,

How Rent: Live‘s Production Designer Created a 360-Degree World on Live TV

One of the most ambitious TV projects of this year that didn’t include CGI dragons and battles with ice zombies happened on Sunday night, January 27. This was the moment when Fox aired a live version of the iconic musical Rent. To call staging a live version of Rent on TV ambitious is probably underselling it. The musical, which focuses on seven artists living in New York City’s East Village in 1996,

First Doctor Sleep Trailer Reveals The Shining‘s Long-Awaited Sequel

May the sun never set on the Stephen King empire. Adaptations of the horror master’s novels keep coming at us, on the big screen and small, at a truly astonishing pace. Among those are Andy Muschietti’s beloved 2017 adaptation IT (and the upcoming IT: Chapter Two), the recent reboot of Pet Sematary, and now Doctor Sleep. This latest film is based on King’s 2013 sequel to “The Shining,”
