See the Rise of Justice RBG in the First On the Basis of Sex Trailer
Not all heroes are Star Wars characters. Just ask Rogue One’s Felicity Jones. Jones plays Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a real life heroine, in On the Basis of Sex.
A woman as influential as Ginsburg probably stood out among her peers from the start, but it certainly wasn’t an easy road to the highest court in the land. The beginning of the freshly released On the Basis of Sex trailer really hammers that home.

Birds of Prey Characters Revealed for Margot Robbie’s All-Female Superhero Film
Margot Robbie’s Birds of Prey is the most intriguing of the upcoming standalone superhero films. While we’re very excited to see where Joaquin Phoenix takes the Joker, the idea of Robbie’s Harley Quinn headlining a film starring a slew of very tough women is tops on our list. We’ve known that the film was written by Christina Hodson and will be directed by Cathy Yan.
Timothée Chalamet in Talks to Star in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Adaptation
This is one of those perfect potential marriages of director, actor and material. Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 visionary Denis Villeneuve is taking on a fresh adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novels (and subsequent 1984 David Lynch film) Dune. Now Deadline reports that Oscar-nominee Timothée Chalamet is in talks to star in the film. Chalamet had a monster 2017,
Steve Has a New Summer Job in First Stranger Things 3 Teaser
Remember malls? The place you went to show off your new perm, listen to your Walkman, and make out with your college boyfriend? Yah, me neither. I was ridiculously uncool in high school. Thankfully, Stranger Things is here to show us what the hippest spot in the center of the universe was doing in the mid-80s. A new mock-ad for Starcourt Mall! features American treasures like Wicks ‘n’ Sticks, Radio Shack, and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery).
Ruby Dreams of What Could Have Been in Heartbreaking The Darkest Minds Trailer
In an uncertain world, we could all use a good love story to get us through. The Darkest Minds is a bleak situation, but Liam (Harris Dickinson) tries to shed some light with an alternate reality. Boy meets girl at the beach is about the farthest possible situation from the post-apocalyptic world he inhabits, but a new trailer for The Darkest Minds stays hopeful.
Ever since an adolescent plague has wiped out nearly the entire children’s population in the world,

Time goes on and so does the Queen. Olivia Colman is stepping into the role of Her Royal Majesty to tackle the 2nd decade of her reign. The Crown tweeted out the first look today with a pointed message to fans, “Patience.” Season 2 dropped in December, but we likely won’t be seeing the next era until 2019.

Fortnite’s Dominance Reaches as Far as Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Drake popularized video game phenomenon Fortnite in the music industry. Antoine Griezmann took the game’s dances into the World Cup. Now, Simon Pegg just revealed how important the video game is to the IMF team in Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
At the film’s red carpet premiere in Paris—the city star Tom Cruise admitted the film is a “love letter” to—actor Simon Pegg told CinemaBlend a little bit about how his character Benji spends his free time.
Frozen 2 Adds Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown to the Cast
The cast of Frozen 2 just got two major additions. The sequel to Disney’s juggernaut animated film already had an exceptional cast—Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, and Josh Gad are all returning as Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, respectively. Now Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood and This is Us and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Sterling K. Brown are joining the ensemble. We have no idea who they’ll be playing,
Marina Zenovich on Going Inside Robin Williams’ Mind in Her New HBO Doc
In making Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, premiering July 16 on HBO, director Marina Zenovich celebrates the life and comedic talent of the legendary performer who committed suicide in 2014, using Williams’s voice to tell much of his story as well as interviews with his first wife Valerie Velardi, son Zak Williams and many friends, including Mork & Mindy co-star Pam Dawber, David Letterman, Billy Crystal,
Ben Foster on his Moving Portrait of Fatherhood in Leave no Trace
In Leave No Trace, Ben Foster plays a man who’s fled American society, carrying just a few things with him — most significantly his teenage daughter, Tom (Thomasin McKenzie). Foster’s Will is apparently a military veteran, but writer-director Debra Granik never tells his story. The character seems a bit like a post-traumatic version of the violent men Foster has played in such movies as Hell or High Water.

If you were one of the millions of people around the world watching France beat Croatia in the World Cup, then perhaps you also caught a glimpse of your new Doctor?

First Look at the Fisherman King and Royal Family of Aquaman
The Atlantis of Aquaman is shaping up to be incredibly elegant. The underwater world is materializing and looks dreamy. Today, EW premiered the first look at the Fisherman King (Djimon Hounsou) in full glory. Most importantly this is our best glimpse yet at the film’s stunning effects. The way director James Wan handles the aquatic scenes will be key to Aquaman‘s action and this image looks very promising.
Black Widow Brings on Cate Shortland to Direct
The long awaited Black Widow film finally has a director. THR reported that Marvel has hired Cate Shortland to helm the Scarlett Johansson film. Shortland will become the first solo female director in the MCU, and only the second woman director overall.

Marvel has been making a conscious push to be more female focused,
Joaquin Phoenix on Taking on the Iconic Role of the Joker
Yesterday the news broke that Joaquin Phoenix was officially joining Todd Phillips’ standalone Joker film. It’s hard to think of another actor more suited to taking on arguably the most iconic villain in film than Phoenix. Obviously gifted, notoriously committed, and clearly fearless, Phoenix is not the type of performer who will shy away from taking the Joker into dark, twisted territory—precisely where you’d hope a standalone film about the psychotic clown prince of chaos would go.
A Downton Abbey Movie is Officially Happening

The decadent series starred spectacular talent including Elizabeth McGovern,
Skyscraper‘s Production Designer Elevates the Mythic Subtext to Insane Heights
Production designer Jim Bissell faced a 226-story challenge when Skyscraper writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber enlisted him to create Hong Kong high rise “The Pearl.” Oscar-nominated for his work on Good Night, and Good Luck and experienced in the ways of architecture-driven action through his contributions to Tom Cruise’s dizzying skyscraper stunts in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Bissell needed to come up with a tower every bit as dramatic as the movie’s human star Dwayne Johnson.
Netflix Tops Most Nominated Network of the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards
It is official. Great TV isn’t just on television sets anymore. The nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced today, and by the numbers, Netflix reigns supreme. Even with Game of Thrones back in the running, Netflix still edged out HBO for the most nods.
The streaming site only entered the Emmy playing field four years ago and has quickly risen to the top. Last year, even without a season of Game of Thrones eligible for voting,
