The Five Moments in Solo that Delighted Us the Most
Change is hard, but Alden Ehrenreich made it easy for us. Harrison Ford so endearingly created the prickly and grizzled antihero, Han Solo, that it was difficult to imagine anyone else in the role. Ford endorsed Ehrenreich’s performance in Solo, and it turns out he has pretty good judgment. Ehrenreich channeled Solo’s essence and the script played to his freshness in the role. Solo is the most adventurous and lowest stake film in the Star Wars franchise,
The Insane List of Cameos in Deadpool 2
Haven’t seen Deadpool 2 yet? Stop reading. We’ve got some major spoilers coming.
While we’ve interviewed the film’s screenwriters and makeup designer, we’ve made sure we didn’t spill the beans on the major cameos in the film. Arguably the biggest cameo, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment about two thirds of the way into the movie, drew gasps when we saw the film. The moment was so brief you had to wonder if you really saw the face you could have sworn you saw.
The Gospel According to Andre Director Kate Novack on the Man Behind the Fashion Icon
As a fan of fashion documentaries, director Kate Novack knew Andre Leon Talley as the larger-than-life, high priest of haute couture. As a journalist- turned-filmmaker, she knew there was more to him than that.
“I’ve been watching Andre in many fashion docs since Unzipped in 1996, which is around when I was getting out of college,” Novack says. “It was always always this over-the-top [depiction] where he’d steal the scene but he was always an enigma.
Ant-Man and the Wasp Take on The Ghost in new TV Spot
Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man and the Wasp has a lot going for it. It’s the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to give a female superhero top billing, placing Evangeline Lilly’s the Wasp not only in the title, but the very center of the film’s story. It’s the first film in the MCU to premiere after the Russo Brothers’ epic, heartbreaking Avengers: Infinity War. And then there’s the new villain,
Costume Designer Ann Foley on Creating the Cyberpunk Aesthetic of Altered Carbon
Netflix’s original cyberpunk drama, Altered Carbon, has become as known for the multifarious aesthetics it draws on — from Blade Runner to the works of Edgar Allan Poe — as it has for its philosophical leanings. Based on the novel of the same name by Richard K. Morgan, the show’s premise is that 300 years from now, the body is a mere “sleeve.” The mind, one’s true self,
Documentarian Morgan Neville on Revealing Mr. Rogers in Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, which premiered 50 years ago on PBS, is undergoing a bit of a renaissance of late. Although host Fred Rogers died at age 74 in 2003, his effect on the lives of adoring preschoolers and beyond is still being felt. Earlier this year, PBS aired It’s You I Like, a tribute show named after one of Rogers’ many self-penned songs that he performed on the series. The U.S.
The Stars of Deadpool 2 Would Like to Say ‘Thanks’
No one will ever be as badass as Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia, but we must admit, the Deadpool 2 gang comes kind of close. The hits just keep on coming, and the endlessly creative team behind the superhero film have set a highlight reel to the Golden Girls theme song. Throw a vintage filter over the footage, sprinkle in a 1980s TV font, dapple Andrew Gold’s classic song over it and you’ve got the sitcom opening we’ve always dreamed of.
New Sicario: Day of the Soldado Trailer Unleashes the Fire & Fury
It seems that these days, everything that screenwriter Taylor Sheridan touches turns to gold. The Sicario scribe, Oscar nominated for his work on Hell or High Water, returns to write the sequel, and judging from the new trailer, he hasn’t held back—on anything.

Logan Director James Mangold Set to Write and Direct a Boba Fett Film
James Mangold directed one of the most deeply rich character films ever made in Logan.
Mangold captured the grizzled, jaded character in his dying days and delivered a fully realized final homage to the mutant. It was grisly, gory, and badass. The depth and detail of the film’s artistry was so authentic you felt immersed in the world of Wolverine. Now, Mangold has an opportunity to explore the layers of another iconic character,
Lifelong Star Wars Fan Joonas Suotamo On Becoming Chewbacca
Imagine a young man dreams of an acting career, but is told he has little or no chance of success, because there are no jobs for blonde, blue-eyed Finnish actors nearly seven feet tall. Now imagine one of the most iconic characters in modern film is being recast, and the requirements include being seven feet tall and having blue eyes. Clearly Joonas Suotamo, who took over the role of Chewbacca from the great Peter Mayhew,

Star of the franchise, Chris Pratt, has created a series of clips called ‘Jurassic Journals’ that gives credit where credit is due.

The greedy purveyors of the dinosaur de-extinction project just never know when to stop. A new 30-second spot for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom reveals more about the diabolical plot that is going to put everyone’s lives in danger. Why can’t these people ever leave evolution well enough alone?

Does The Sisters Brothers Trailer Hint at The Next Great Western?
Westerns hold a special place in all of our hearts. The setting not only provides incredible images, but the sense of desperation that permeates the atmosphere also lends itself to more visceral emotions. Recent years has given us a few gems, with David Mackenzie’s Hell or High Water a particularly good modern oater. With The Sisters Brothers, we may have a great one in store.

George R.R. Martin’s Work Will Reach a Younger Audience with The Ice Dragon Adaptation
There are a lot of reasons to love George R.R. Martin’s complex fantasy worlds, but let’s be real. The absolute best part is the dragons. We have been enamored with Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion since season 1. However, they aren’t the only dragons around. Deadline reported that Warner Animation Group has sealed the deal to create an animated film based on Martin’s 1980 book, The Ice Dragon.
Although the title bears a resemblance to Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire,
Deadpool 2‘s Screenwriters on Living With Wade Wilson’s Voice in Their Heads
Armed with witty zingers from writing team Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Ryan Reynold’s deformed, foul-mouthed, self-healing superhero Wade Wilson powered through the profanity-laced Deadpool to such crowd-pleasing effect that Marvel Studios’ 2016 action comedy became the top-grossing R-rated movie of all time. Working on Deadpool 2, which topped the box office last weekend with a $301 million worldwide opening, Reese and Wernick tuned out the pressure and delivered another blockbuster.
What the Women Warriors of Star Wars Have Meant to Me
One of the first things my father taught me was to impersonate Princess Leia (the late, great Carrie Fisher, of course). He would say “Princess Leia!” and my not-even-two-year-old self would immediately scramble for the nearest cup-like objects before clapping them over my ears in a vague imitation of her iconic cinnamon roll side buns. I had no idea who Princess Leia was, or what she stood for, or even what the Star Wars saga was.
Writer/Director Paul Schrader on Seeing The Light in First Reformed
Perhaps best known for writing such Martin Scorsese films as Taxi Driver and The Last Temptation of Christ, Paul Schrader has also directed more than 20 movies. These include 1980’s American Gigolo, a commercial hit, although Schrader’s style and subject matters rarely attract a mainstream audience. His latest film, First Reformed, is a stark tale of personal despair and environmental crisis. Ethan Hawke plays Toller,
Clues About the Fate of our Heroes Emerge With the Early Avengers 4 Synopsis
For a long time now, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been steering the Avengers toward a confrontation with Thanos (Josh Brolin). Gamora (Zoe Saldana) specifically has been prepping us for the showdown with her father ever since Guardians of the Galaxy hit theaters in 2014. (Spoiler Alert). We knew he would be a unique force strong enough to unite the entire team—what we weren’t so prepared for was how thoroughly he demolished them.
