Fierce Women Highlight Fall Movie Schedule
In the post-Wonder Woman era, warriors like Black Panther‘s Okoye (Danai Gurira) make mincemeat of evil-doers with the swing of a spear. This fall at the movies, plenty more fierce female characters are taking matters into their own hands as they fight for justice, power, respect or all of the above. Historical perspective comes courtesy of Mary Queen of Scots (Dec. 7) featuring Saoirse Ronan as the 20-year old monarch who commands an army of thousands in her attempt to take over England.
Captain Marvel Takes Over EW with the First Photos from the Film
Captain Marvel has been one of the most mysterious Marvel films yet in the MCU. The upcoming film, a first for Marvel that features a female superhero in the lead role, has been shrouded in secrecy. It’s been a long wait, more than a decade, for the reveal of the most powerful superhero in the MCU. Finally, a small sliver of the veil has been lifted today with the first exclusive photos of the film from EW.
Laurie and Michael Come Face to Terrifying Face in New Halloween Trailer
Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is a force of nature. Forty years after her first encounter with the Shape, she has evolved from an unsuspecting target of his bloodlust to a confident protector. The new Halloween trailer reveals how the game has changed since the last time Laurie and Michael (James Jude Courtney) met. Almost all of this footage is new and it’s all unequivocally awesome.
There is a major power shift here through the camera movement alone.
Thom Yorke’s Suspiria Title Track is a Haunting Dance
Thom Yorke’s first single from the Suspiria album is a hypnotic gem. Following the film’s premiere at Venice Film Festival this weekend, the Radiohead singer/songwriter released a song from the original soundtrack. The song is titled ‘Suspirium’ and is presumably the title track.
The music is soft, haunting, and infectious. Made for Luca Guadagnino’s dance studio horror remake, the rolling piano line demands movement. Even this least flexible among us will be compelled to find a quiet space to break into interpretive dance.
Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda Highlight New Mary Poppins Returns Images
There are many reasons to be enthused about Disney’s new musical Mary Poppins Returns. We’ll give you two; Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Mary Poppins Returns is a sequel to the 1964 classic, with Rob Marshall directing the two superstars. (Check out the trailer here.) Blunt, naturally, stars as the mysterious Mary Poppins, a woman with more than a little magic to spread around who is back to help a new generation of the Banks family find their zest for life.
American Horror Story: Apocalypse Drops Cryptic, Creepy new Teaser
When we interviewed American Horror Story: Cult‘s Emmy-nominated actress Adina Porter, she couldn’t say much about Apocalypse, save for the fact she was in the makeup chair preparing for a scene when she found out she’d been nominated for her performance in Cult. Which was to be expected; Ryan Murphy loves keeping his upcoming seasons quiet and doling out cryptic, creepy little morsels to keep fans guessing.
Breathe Deep During this Vicious new The Predator Teaser
What we’ve now seen of Shane Black‘s The Predator has given us the strong impression this movie is going to be insane. We’ll know for sure in only a few days when we catch the midnight screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, but for those of you who will be waiting until the September 14 release date, a new teaser released by Fox gives you a few fresh glimpses at what our crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biology professor (Olivia Munn) are up against in the Ultimate Predator.
Robin Wright Will Appear in Wonder Woman 1984
Wonder Woman 1984 seems to be getting everything right. Director Patty Jenkins knew the perfect recipe to make the first film a hit, and she seems to be carrying over some of the film’s greatest ingredients. In a blink-and-you’ll-miss it mention, an interview with Net-A-Porter reveals that Robin Wright will return for the sequel.
“Now, apart from shooting a flashback sequence in Spain with Connie Nielsen for Wonder Woman 1984,
Rian Johnson Selling Surprise Murder Mystery Project Knives Out
We have had our entire Rian Johnson radar fixed on his Star Wars projects, so this came as a major surprise. The Last Jedi director will be tackling a brand new Star Wars trilogy, but before that he has an entirely different project in the works. According to Deadline, Johnson is presenting a new script for Knives Out that is expected to start a bidding war.
A Fan Expo Panel Revealed a Surprise Cameo in Ant-Man and the Wasp
It is always fun to spot a familiar face in the Marvel crowd, particularly the reliable Stan Lee appearances. Sometimes a famous voice even slips in unnoticed for months, like in the case of Trevor Noah in Black Panther. However, there are some cameos that are a little more difficult to spot and we might just need an outright confession to ever see them all. Evangeline Lilly and Rodrigo Bastos Diner appeared together at Fan Expo Canada this weekend to promote their book series,
Henry Cavill Will be the Lead in Netflix’s Fantasy Series The Witcher
He’s gone toe-to-toe with Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Cyborg AND Tom Cruise. We’re talking about Henry Cavill, who in recent years has played Superman (battling Batman, twice, in Batman v Superman and briefly in Justice League) and CIA bruiser August Walker in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Now Cavill’s heading to the small screen for Netflix’s The Witcher,
Glimpse Three of the Year’s Best Performances in First Full The Favourite Trailer
A new Yorgos Lanthimos is an event. It’s an opportunity to go into a theater and either white-knuckle your way through something deeply alarming (here’s looking at you, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Dogtooth), or something offbeat, funny, and deliciously weird (The Lobster). Now the unpredictable director is back with The Favourite, a period piece set in 18th century England,
The Meg VFX Breakdown Reveals Creation of the Summer’s Biggest Predator
The Meg was one of this summer’s more joyous films, giving us Jason Statham, a massive shark, and breakout star Kelly the dog (an actual dog). The movie was fun, silly, and again, had a 75-foot long prehistoric shark (the Megalodon, hence the film’s title) going tooth-to-toe with Statham’s deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor. Now, we’ve got a look at how effects shop Scanline VFX helped create some of The Meg‘s wildest visuals,
Hear the First Hypnotic Bars of Thom Yorke’s Suspiria Score
We go to the ballet to watch incredible athletes in action, but the ballet company is Suspiria is looking right back. Everyone is watching you from a disturbing new poster for the film.
Splattered across the page are six bloody pairs of eyes. Only Dakota Johnson’s seem alert. They’re larger, but also more defined and looking a different direction than anyone else. Will she be able to survive the madnees looming around her?
Fantastic Beasts Cast and Crew Reflect on the Joy of Returning to Hogwarts
Jude Law lived the ultimate fan experience on the set of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The most magical place in the wizarding world is undoubtedly Hogwarts. In the Harry Potter series, we got to experience it for the first time along with Harry and his fellow first years. Pictures talked, rooms took shape as needed, plants screamed. There were surprises and mysteries around every corner. Now on the set of The Crimes of Grindelwald,
The Final Predator Trailer Goes Full Throttle
Let it never be said that The Predator held anything back. If the final 2-minute trailer is any indication, Shane Black goes all in. The plot is outrageous and certainly doesn’t attempt to carry the psychological weight of a film like Alien. This is a gory action-palooza that is completely self-aware of its own over the top nature. And holy hell are there some wild moments.
Behold the long promised Preda-dogs.
Review Roundup: Critics Hail the Breathtaking Beauty of Roma
Roma made a predictably elegant debut at the Venice Film Festival last night, dazzling critics. Phrases like “achingly beautiful” and “engrossing” were used to describe the semi-autobiographical work.
The audience in Venice obviously got to experience Cuarón’s work on a theater screen, which is how the director intends the film to be viewed. However, Roma’s theatrical run will coincide with its release on Netflix. That gives audiences the potential to view the piece on their 4-inch phone screen,
The Trailer for Orson Welles’ Unfinished Film The Other Side of the Wind Was Just Released
Streaming sites have made some really interesting things possible. The primary example is binge watching, but also reviving canceled series and now, resurrecting lost work. Ironically, Orson Welles’ unfinished work, The Other Side of the Wind, was a satire piece reflecting the evolution of Hollywood in the 1970s. Ironically, the film will now screen on Netflix more than 40 years after filming was completed.
Welles was a prodigious director who first made a splash on radio with a colorful reading of H.G.
Mysteries Abound in Riverdale Season 3 Trailer
Is it ever spring in Riverdale? The doom, gloom, and teenage angst seems to hang over the town in an autumn wintry haze. But let’s be honest. We are here for the drama and drama there shall be. Season 3 even seems to be slipping into the occult, perhaps a small nod to showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s Afterlife with Archie zombie series. Aguirre-Sacasa also created the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the definitely looks like it will have ritualistic elements.
Hugh Jackman Caught in a Political Sex Scandal in the First The Front Runner Trailer
