J.J. Abrams on his Initial Fears & Current Excitement About Star Wars: Episode IX
When it was announced that J.J. Abrams was returning to co-write and direct Star Wars: Episode IX, little did we know how initially apprehensive he was.

Enemies, Frenemies, Family, Lovers: A Game of Thrones Explainer
The 8th and final season of Game of Thrones is a mere few days away. Even if you’re knowledgeable about what’s at stake and who the players are, it’s still fairly easy to get confused.

These survivors have years of history between them, and it’s been—wait for it—590 days since the season 7 finale,
The Official Lion King Trailer is a Stunner
The first official trailer for Jon Favreau‘s The Lion King is stunning. Favreau is now a veteran of transforming Disney classics with the best available computer animation technology in the business.

Game of Thrones Creators Had Ending in Mind for Five Years
Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been working on Game of Thrones for 11-years. When they began the journey of adapting George R. R. Martin‘s “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, they had a lot of narrative road to work with. Then Game of Thrones zoomed past Martin’s books. Once it was clear they’d finish their series before he finished his books, Benioff and Weiss met with Martin to discuss how he was planning on ending his saga.

Pet Sematary‘s Makeup Designer on Creating Death From Life
It’s always risky adapting a beloved novel for the big screen. It’s even riskier when that novel has already been adapted in a beloved film. Yet this is precisely what directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer took on with their Pet Sematary reboot. Director Mary Lambert’s iconic 1989 film version of one of Stephen King‘s most wrenchingly unsettling novels gave the world some of the most disturbing sequences of any film that decade.
Fear & Grieving With Pet Sematary Breakout Star Amy Seimetz
Pet Sematary star Amy Seimetz remembers reading Stephen King’s novel when she was just eight years old.
“I was too young but my parents were great—being a parent was different in the ‘80s,” she says. “They were happy that I was a voracious reader and they were present to answer questions. I went from [children’s authors] R. L. Stine to Christopher Pike to Stephen King. I read Cujo,
All the Easter Eggs Hidden in the Joker Trailer
The Joker trailer sent a chill and a thrill through the movie-loving world this week. Director Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix‘s upcoming take on the origins of Gotham’s most iconic villain looks mesmerizing. Joker looks like no other film based on a comic book character that we’ve ever seen.
In fact, Joker looks more like a very intriguing character study of a man with mental illness (just as Marc Maron said it was) than a film based on a character ripped from the DC Comics universe.

The Cast of Cats Will be Shrunk to the Size of Actual Cats
First, right off the bat, our featured image is of an actual cat from Captain Marvel. That’s Goose—who was played by four different cats. He stole most of the scenes he was in.
