Here’s Your First Glimpse at Game of Thrones Final Season
Still catching your breath from that Sharp Objects finale (and the mid-credits scene)? You’re not alone. HBO was all about delivering the goods last night, which included our first glimpse at True Detective season 3 trailer and a sizzle reel for the embarrassment of riches that is HBO’s 2019 slate, which includes our first look at Game of Thrones season 8 footage. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough,
Did a Fan Find a Hidden Message in Black Panther‘s Suit?
Have you tried using the Wakanda translator? This site claims to be able to turn your text into Wakandan text. This translation site has been especially helpful to those eagle-eyed Reddit users over at the Movie Details subreddit, where folks spot often hidden Easter eggs and other easy-to-miss secrets in films. One user, u/thecruiser, believes he/she has uncovered a hidden message on Black Panther’s suit (h/t to i09).
Avengers: Infinity War VFX Reel Reveals Hulkbuster, Doctor Strange’s Torture Scene & More
There were a lot of bleak moments in Avengers: Infinity War. There was that ending, of course, but that goes without saying. There were a lot of brutal moments leading up to the infamous Thanos snap. One moment, in particular, was watching Ebony Maw torture Doctor Strange. Maw was after the Time Stone that Strange wears around his neck. Thanos’s head goon found out the hard way that you can’t just rip the thing off (Doctor Strange had applied a reasonably robust spell that made that impossible),
HBO Drops First Trailer for True Detective Season 3
HBO picked the perfect time to surprise fans with the first trailer for True Detective‘s long-awaited third season; they dropped it right before the season finale for their fantastic miniseries Sharp Objects. Creator and showrunner Nic Pizzolato is back with the third season to his critically acclaimed detective series, once again moving the action to a new location. True Detective went full southern gothic with the first season’s Louisiana setting,
Marvel Positioning Black Panther for a Best Picture Nomination
When the news broke that the Oscars were expanding to create an “Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film” category, there was, to put it mildly, some concern. Lots of critics, like The New Yorker‘s Richard Brody, weighed in on why this wasn’t a good idea. He brought up two films from recent years that were both extremely popular and worthy of Best Picture nominations:
“Occasionally, those big-budget movies are made by inspired directors who,
How The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s Emmy-Nominated Editor Gave Midge her Sparkling Start
Timing is everything, or so the saying goes, in comedy. This is just one of the lessons the truly marvelous Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) learns on her journey to develop a stand-up set when her personal life hits turbulent times. That timing is particularly brisk on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The show was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, known for writing the breakneck dialogue of Gilmore Girls. The new Amazon series is sharp,
Top Gun: Maverick Cast Additions
Yesterday Deadline broke the news that Top Gun: Maverick had added a bunch of new stars, and now The Hollywood Reporter reveals a couple of more seasoned gents may be joining the cast. They’ll all be surrounding Maverick himself, the somehow ageless Tom Cruise, who’s reprising one of his early iconic roles as the titular ace fighter pilot from Tony Scott’s 1986 original. THR reports that Jon Hamm (possibly) is a possible new addition,
Watch the Wild new Trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria Remake
The new trailer for Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino‘s Suspiria is here, and it’s deliciously bonkers. Produced by Amazon Studios, Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento‘s 1977 horror masterpiece is a bold swerve for a director who doesn’t appear to like to do the same thing twice. His take on Suspiria leaves behind Argento’s vivid palette and prog rock score and goes into much darker,
Lena Dunham & Lorenza Izzo Join Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Like the universe, the cast for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood keeps expanding with stars. The writer/director of one of the greatest ensemble movies of all time (in our humble opinion), Pulp Fiction, always draws a great cast, but Once Upon a Time in America may be his masterpiece (a nod to an Inglourious Basterds quote for the uninitiated). We’ve already shared photos of three of the film’s stars on set—Margot Robbie,
Prolific Composer Hans Zimmer to Score Wonder Woman 1984
The man who created one of the greatest superhero scores ever is bringing his immense talents to Wonder Woman 1984. Hans Zimmer, the prolific composer who made such a massive impact on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy will be scoring Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984. Zimmer isn’t coming into the sequel as a Diana Prince newbie—he’s the man who came up with Wonder Woman’s electric cello theme when she made her first appearance on screen in Zack Synder’s Batman v Superman.
Emmy Nominated Ozark Cinematographer on the Show’s Bleak & Immersive Style
Ozark is relentless. Whether an emotional reunion, a difficult decision, a gruesome death, or a grisly torture, the camera offers no relief. You cannot look away, but you likely will not want to. The show’s cinematography is compelling and immersive, capitalizing on some of the strongest performances of the season from a cast that includes Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Julia Garner, and Peter Mullan. Director of Photography Ben Kutchins received an Emmy nomination for his work on the complex season finale packed with emotional bombshells.
Crazy Rich Asians is Likely Getting a Sequel With Jon Chu Returning to Direct
There’s nothing like critical and commercial success to guarantee a shot at a sequel. The groundbreaking film Crazy Rich Asians is potentially getting a sequel, with the film’s passionate director Jon Chu returning to helm the ship.
The Hollywood Reporter has it that the creative team behind the film, which includes Chu, screenwriters Peter Chiarelli and Dele Lim, and producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force,
See How Avengers: Infinity War‘s Second Scariest Villain was Created
We’ve shared German digital studio RISE’s VFX reel showcasing how they created Avengers: Infinity War‘s devastating (but slightly hopeful!) post-credits scene. We’ve published Weta Digital’s VFX reel that gave us a glimpse of how they constructed that epic battle on Titan. We’ve also given you a look at how Framestore built Tony Stark’s brand new nanotechnology-powered Mark L Iron Man suit.
Spider-Man: Far From Home Gets a New Logo
We’ve all accepted the cognitive dissonance of there being both a Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy film on Marvel’s slate even though Spider-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy were snapped out of existence by Thanos in Infinity War. In the MCU, these types of things are possible. We know that because, in the MCU, it’s possible for there to be a Thanos in the first place (let alone a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.) We’ve now gotten our first glimpse at the new Spider-Man: Far From Home logo,
Star Wars: The Last Jedi Kelly Marie Tran Speaks Out Against Trolls
“I won’t be marginalized by online harassment.” This is the title of Kelly Marie Tran’s bracing, crucial column in yesterday’s New York Times, a must-read for anyone, everyone who believes that an actor deserves to be treated like a human by the “fans” who purport to hold the keys to a franchise’s kingdom. The idea of super fandom is problematic in general; the arguments over what’s Star Wars canon and what’s not can be fun,
David Harbour Delves into the Psychology of Hellboy and Detective Hopper
Stranger Things star David Harbour recently found himself in a place he never expected to be. In the pages of Vanity Fair. Harbour noted to the magazine that he didn’t think he was “interesting enough” to land a feature, but the insight he shared into the characters he’s played was fascinating.
The actor’s upcoming turn as Hellboy may seem like a departure from the Hawkins detective we’ve come to know him as.
Peter Jackson Reaches into the Past with Technology for They Shall Not Grow Old
Director Peter Jackson, a filmmaker whose name is synonymous with ‘epic’, has turned an eye to history for his next project. Best known for his fantasies, Jackson’s next film will be a unique WWI documentary. However, the film will be unlike anything you saw in history class. They Shall Not Grow Old appears to be one of the most ambitious restoration projects ever. The film promises to give audiences an unprecedented view of life in the armed forces a century ago.
Watch Zazie Beetz & Chance the Rapper in First Trailer for Pizza Slasher Flick Slice
A24 has made such a name for itself that every film the studio puts out is worth taking seriously. When it comes to sci-fi and horror, you could argue that A24 has been punching above its weight class for years. Look at some of their recent titles; Hereditary, The Witch, Ex Machina and Under the Skin. These are some of the most chilling,
Crazy Rich Asians Director Jon Chu Wrote a Beautiful Letter to Coldplay Asking to use “Yellow”
Crazy Rich Asians made history this past weekend. As we wrote yesterday, the film had the biggest box office opening for a PG-13 romantic comedy since Think Like a Man. Based on the novel by Kevin Kwan, both Kwan and director Jon Chu told THR they turned down a big payday to gamble on releasing the film in theaters. Crazy Rich Asians was the first studio with full Asian-American representation since The Joy Luck Club 25 years ago.
