Martin Ruhe on Shooting George Clooney’s Catch-22 Adaptation
“Certain things I don’t think we’d be legally allowed to do now,” observes cinematographer Martin Ruhe, ASC, when reflecting on the prior attempt to bring Joseph Heller’s classic, absurdist, and decidedly non-chronological Catch-22 to the screen.
That would be the 1970 Mike Nichols film version, which was somewhat of a commercial and critical bust at the time but has since come to be regarded in more classic “70’s cinema” terms.

Director Olivia Wilde & Screenwriter Katie Silberman on the Hilarious Booksmart
The creative team behind Booksmart wanted to showcase women being funny. Not one or two women, but many women.
“That’s how it is in our lives. All my female friends are as funny as my male friends. They’re not comedians; they don’t think of themselves as funny,” said screenwriter Katie Silberman, who shares writing credit with Susanna Fogel, Emily Halpern, and Sarah Haskins.

In Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake of Aladdin, Disney revisits Agrabah, the fictional Arabian land where a plucky street thief and his incorrigible monkey sidekick cross paths with an unlikely love interest, the local sultan’s daughter, Princess Jasmine.

New Dark Phoenix Clip Teases the X-Men’s Oldest Frenemies

In the first decade of the franchise, these two venerable mutants were portrayed by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, respectively. Charles, better known as Professor X, has long quarreled with Magneto about the best way to handle humanity’s distrust and hatred for the mutant kind. Charles believes they do that by respecting their laws and proving that mutants are people,
The Early Reactions to Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Any and every Quentin Tarantino film is an event movie. This is because Tarantino so reliably stirs up debate, from his 1994 game-changer Pulp Fiction to his historical epics, which gleefully rewrote or refocused history, beginning with Inglorious Basterds (2009) and through Django Unchained (2012) and The Hateful Eight (2015). When word spread that his ninth film, set in Hollywood in 1969,

A new Toy Story 4 Trailer Teases a Existential Journey Like no Other
The first trailer for Toy Story 4 hinted at some of life’s deepest questions. As we wrote at the time, the Toy Story gang, led by Woody (Tom Hanks), has long moved past the Andy era, in which Woody sparred with Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the big questions were mostly who Andy preferred most. We’re officially in the Bonnie era, and the latest trailer makes clear that our favorite talking toys are going on a journey that’ll be their most profound yet.
