Interview

Producer

Meet the Mother of Mamma Mia!

If anyone can rightly claim to be the mother of Mamma Mia!, the worldwide jukebox- musical sensation both on stage and screen, it is producer Judy Craymer. The impresario, 60, first hatched the idea to build a story around family bonds and lost loves inspired by the songs of Swedish pop sensation ABBA in 1996 after collaborating with the group’s tunesmiths Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus on the 1984 West End stage production of Chess...

J.J. Abrams’ Overlord is Finally Revealed to Be a Bonkers Historical Horror Film

When J.J. Abrams announced the film Overlord, we obviously all thought the same thing. World War II, zombies, Nazis, and possession, right? Isn’t that what you had in mind? Yah, us neither. Bad Robot just released its first trailer of the terror-inducing film Overlord, and it is insane. Abrams’ new film brings us on a typical war journey that takes a psychotic and deranged turn, one unlike anything we have seen before.

The film takes place on the eve of the D-Day landings,...

Variety reported that Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece The Dark Knight will get a very limited theatrical re-release in IMAX for one week only.

The First Photo of Shazam!‘s Kid Inside the Superhero

If you’re just as excited as I am for the release of Shazam!, then this is your lucky week. By now we have a solid image of our full grown superhero, Shazam (Zachary Levi), we know more about the exciting storyline, and we’ve met the Wizard behind all the magic. But there’s one thing left we have yet to see: Shazam’s alter ego, normal 14-year-old Billy Batson (Asher Angel). Well, another day is another image from Shazam!...

History is close to being made on the small screen. It was recently reported that Batwoman would be appearing in the Arrowverse for the CW’s annual crossover event in December; now Deadline reports the brilliant Kate Kane of Gotham might be getting her own show, which would be a groundbreaking moment for the superhero world. Batwoman would represent the first time a gay character lead a live-action superhero series.

New Mission: Impossible – Fallout Stunt Reel Revels in Lunacy

Fallout has the most stunts in the history of the Mission: Impossible franchise. The reason why that’s a record is because no major film franchise has had more stunts per movie than Mission: Impossible, period. From Brian De Palma’s crackerjack 1996 opener to Christoper McQuarrie’s 2015 humdinger Ghost Protocol, Mission: Impossible has always taken its title very seriously. Now with McQuarrie becoming the first director to return to the series, Fallout serves as both the first direct sequel and the most stunt-crazy entry in the franchise’s 20-year history...

Robin Hood Learns His Famous Archery from the Best in New Trailer

Taron Egerton is learning his fighting chops just like in Kingsman: The Secret Service, but this time, he has to jump back several centuries to do it.

The most recent take on the legend looks not quite as grave as the 2010 feature with Russell Crowe and not quite as zany as 1993’s spoofy Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The second trailer feels totally different, actually, promising an action-packed origin story with enough comedic relief to let viewers catch a breath...

The first teaser for Glass features the star of Split battling his alter-egos as everything begins to shatter...

Meet the Man Behind the Mustache in the New Bohemian Rhapsody Trailer

If you enjoy getting goosebumps, the new Bohemian Rhapsody trailer will deliver a delicious dose. If you don’t, watch it anyway, because a story this special is worth the suffering.

The second, more “official” look at the Freddie Mercury and Queen biodrama digs deeper than the first. It allows glimpses of the bisexual singer’s private life, from his early relationships to the realization that AIDS would cut his life tragically short. But before the illness,...

Shazam! Gets Lit in New Photo Featuring that Super Suit

Just when we thought orphaned 14-year-old Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) could not get any more star struck with his best friend’s new super suit, the adult Billy Baston (Zachary Levi) reveals another cool feature. Entertainment Weekly’s newest official photo shows of more about what that stretchy, bright red super suit can actually do. The lightning bolt on his chest illuminates so bright it can probably be seen across town. It’s undeniably mesmerizing as Freddy found out...

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. Other than that, there hasn’t been a ton on news to report...

Timothée Chalamet in Talks to Star in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Adaptation

Now Deadline reports that Oscar-nominee Timothée Chalamet is in talks to star in the film. Chalamet had a monster 2017, co-starring in Call Me By Your Name (for which he nabbed the Oscar nom),...

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).

The mammoth two-story (WOW!) mall is coming to Hawkins in the summer of 1985...

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,...
