Trevor Noah Had a Role in Black Panther And No One Noticed
Wakanda was designed with incredible care and respect for African traditions and the innovation and artistry of its peoples. One of the most incredible details was the language and dialect selected for the characters. The international cast of Black Panter worked with a dialect coach to get it just right and studied the Xhosa language for the correct pronunciation. They did it so well, in fact, that we completely missed a cameo by a famous Xhosa speaker.

Writer/Director Ramin Bahrani on the Spooky Timeliness of his Fahrenheit 451 Adaptation for HBO
We’re living in times that are increasingly concerning. Okay, that’s a massive understatement. After the election of Donald Trump, dystopian novels became increasingly popular again with reissues of novels like George Orwell’s 1984 and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The latter novel, which is now a bleak and hugely popular Hulu series, is a good example of the types of stories audiences have been looking to turn to in confusing and trying times.
How Annihilation‘s Team Created That Insanely Gruesome Bear
Alex Garland makes sci-fi films for people who love the genre’s malleability, the way it can contain other genres within itself like a Russian nesting doll. He wrote the twitchy, truly terrifying zombie thriller 28 Days Later, the brilliant, pared down artificial intelligence “romance” Ex Machina, the gorgeous, heartbreaking Arrival, and last year’s trippy, terrifying Annihilation. Each one was singular. Each one was a sci-fi film that relished in the genre’s plasticity.

Go Behind-the-Scenes of Andy Serkis’ Mowgli
In Andy Serkis’ new film Mowgli, the classic Rudyard Kipling children’s story “The Jungle Book” is getting an adaptation that is much closer in spirit to Kipling’s darker tone.

Mowgli Trailer Reveals Andy Serkis’ Darker Take on “The Jungle Book”
We can think of few better filmmakers to take another look at Ruyard Kipling’s iconic “The Jungle Book” about a feral child raised in the jungle than the multi-talented Andy Serkis. The actor, director and motion-capture trailblazer has been everywhere in recent years, from playing the chimpanzee Caesar in the consistently excellent Planet of the Apes trilogy to the gleeful super criminal Klaw in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther to the big bad Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Check Out The Incredible Makeup Design of Deadpool 2
Earlier today we published our interview with Deadpool 2 makeup designer Bill Corso, and now, we’re sharing some brand new behind-the-scenes images that showcase the incredible work he and his team did. The most obvious—and crucial—makeup design was making sure Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) was just as hideous as we remember him from 2016’s Deadpool, but Reynolds asked Corso if he could find a way to cut down the amount of time it would take to turn the actor’s handsome mug into the Merc with the Mouth’s signature freak show of mottled,

Deadpool 2‘s Makeup Designer Bill Corso on Creating Wade’s Brutal Face
Makeup designer Bill Corso earned an Emmy Award nomination for crafting jowls and big ears for Bryan Cranston so he could look like President Lyndon Johnson in All the Way. But more often, Corso traffics in the realm of the fantastical as he does with Deadpool 2.
