TIFF 2018: David Mackenzie’s Bloody Epic Outlaw King
Muddy, bloody and massive in scope and scale, David Mackenzie’s Outlaw King might be Netflix’s most ambitious, sprawling release to date. The historical epic stars Chris Pine as the Robert the Bruce, the 14th-century Scottish noble whose legitimate claim to the throne was contested by fellow Scot Lord John Comyn (Callan Mulvey) and ultimately nullified by the English King Edward I (Game of Thrones’ Stephen Dillane).
Piecing Together the Captain Marvel Details that Will Affect the MCU
It has been long foreshadowed that Captain Marvel will be the future of the MCU. She is possibly the most powerful character, which will likely be tested in a showdown with Thanos in Avengers 4. But before that can occur, we need a proper introduction to the Starforce member.
In the Avengers: Infinity War post-credits scene, Nick Fury sends out a signal to humanity’s only hope, who appeared to be Captain Marvel.
How Fight Trainer Don Lee got Jennifer Garner Back in Action for Peppermint
Seventeen years after her star-making turn as Sydney Bristow in Alias, Jennifer Garner is back in action and back in action shape for the new movie Peppermint.
In the new movie (out today), Garner engages in hand-to-hand combat, knife fights, gunfights, and even a little boxing. She did the majority of her own stunts.
“She is heavily involved in her fight scenes. The majority of things she could do she does,” said Don Lee,
TIFF 2018: The Predator Premiere Heats Up Midnight Madness
The Predator kicked off TIFF’s Midnight Madness series to a rowdy crowd last night. The production filmed in Vancouver and premiered to a welcoming Canadian audience. Many of the fans were willing to come alone to one of the festival’s farthest flung theaters to experience what Shane Black had cooked up. We were rewarded for it with some of the smartest laughs of a modern action film and outrageously gruesome new conflict. Even if we didn’t know any of our seatmates,

Who is Truly Featured in this Suspiria Poster?
If the eyes are the window to the soul, do these eyes reveal the soul of Lutz Ebersdorf or Tilda Swinton? Suspiria has released a character poster of Ebersdorf, a novice actor, as Dr. Jozef Klemperer. Yet, why is his initial foray into filmmaking so mysterious? The poster is actually an incredible image and is interesting in itself. However, the unknown actor is rumored to be Tilda Swinton in prosthetics.
The Doctor Strange actress is credited in the film as Madame Blanc,
The Incredible De-Aging of Samuel L. Jackson in Captain Marvel
Yesterday we shared the first batch of Captain Marvel photos (courtesy of Entertainment Weekly), which offered our first look at Brie Larson and her co-stars in the highly anticipated upcoming film. The film is set in the 90s and tells an origin story (of sorts) of how Larson’s Carol Danvers became Captain Marvel, arguably the most powerful superhero in the Marvel universe. Because of Captain Marvel‘s 90s setting,
The AHS: Apocalypse Trailer is a Greatest Hits Bonanza
The first trailer for American Horror Story: Apocalypse is completely batty. Familiar characters may have returned, but the suffocating angst of Murder House and glamorous sophistication of Coven have given way to the outrageous. Some of the most fun personas from the series return in a wild mashup mixed with a wild new storyline.
“No need for the rules anymore. The chaos has won,” the trailer declares.
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.)

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.

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.

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,
