Watch Wakanda Rise in New Black Panther VFX Reel
Wakanda is the marvel of super advanced technology at the heart of Ryan Coogler’s game changing Black Panther. The fictional African nation is at the vanguard of just about everything—architecture, mass transportation, communication, flight, high-tech fashion design—all of which is powered by their most treasured resource, vibranium. This technology is harnessed by the teenage genius Shuri (Letitia Wright), the kid sister of the nation’s king, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman).
Black Mirror’s VFX Supervisor on the Haunting Episode “USS Callister”
Each episode of Black Mirror is designed to be memorable in its own way, but none so far have spun what appears at first to be a mere goofy period romp into an emotionally complex depiction of covert malevolence quite like the feature-length opener of the show’s fourth season, USS Callister. Brilliant but overlooked Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons, once the beloved Landry of Friday Night Lights) is the creator behind an online gaming world for which his savvier,
The Middle May Score a Spin-Off Starring Sue Heck
Last week we said goodbye to one of our favorite TV families, the Hecks. We had no idea what we would do without them, but now we may not have to find out. Who could be more appropriate to carry on the legacy of The Middle than the middle Heck child? Series standout Eden Sher as Sue Heck is reportedly in talks for a spinoff at ABC.
Deadline is reporting that The Middle creators Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline are in talks with ABC and Warner Bros.
A Major Shift is Coming to The Walking Dead Next Season
There have been a lot of shocking goodbyes on The Walking Dead: Beth getting shot, Negan’s brutal slaying of Glenn and Abraham, the bite that took down Carl. However, the most surprising death might be one we haven’t seen yet. Deadline reports that series star Andrew Lincoln plans to depart the show after season 9.
Rick Grimes has led the crew through all the brutalities that come with a zombie apocalypse,
How That Shocking Cameo Made it into Solo: A Star Wars Story
There were some beloved characters that were resurrected in Solo from Han to Lando. We were also super pumped to see the new faces including Qi’ra, Beckett, and Val. There was one familiar face we didn’t expect to pop up, however. We can’t get into it without some serious spoilers, so stop now if you haven’t made it to the theater yet.
Ok, let’s talk about that cameo. Yes, we’re talking about Darth Maul –
Avengers: Infinity War‘s Ending was Nearly Avengers 4‘s Beginning
Avengers: Infinity War has been out for more than a month, but in the event you’re just returning from hiking in the Himalayas, or a space walk on the International Space Station, we’ll just go ahead and say stop reading if you’ve somehow not seen the film yet.
Okay, so as we all know, Infinity War ended with the most brutal snap in history. Thanos (Josh Brolin) acquired all six Infinity Stones and,
Jamie Foxx Nabs Long Sought Lead Role in Spawn Adaptation
What do you get when you combine an Oscar-winning actor with the creator of one of the comics most iconic anti-heros and a production company known for their consistent excellence in creating horror films? Spawn. That’s right, Jamie Foxx has nabbed the role he’s long sought and will be starring in Spawn creator Todd McFarlane’s film, with Blumhouse Productions (the folks behind Jordan Peele’s Get Out) producing.
Queen Sugar Showrunner Kat Candler Leads the Charge for Ava DuVernay’s Game Changing Show
It’s no exaggeration to say that Queen Sugar, the popular OWN series, is changing television. From the beginning, creator Ava DuVernay committed to hiring only female directors, which has led to a number of other shows seeking women for their roster of directors and other below-the-line roles. This season, writer/director/producer Kat Candler has been given the challenge of maintaining this great forward momentum for women working behind the camera,
Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning Reunite on the Set of Maleficent II
Maleficent doesn’t look so malevolent in this behind-the-scenes shot on set. Maleficent II has begun shooting and star Elle Fanning posted a pic with costar, Angelina Jolie. The actors reunited in London to begin filming this week.
It’s bring your mom to work day on the #Maleficent2 set!!!!! ✌?
While Fanning and Jolie will be reprising their roles,
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. Sicario: Day of the Soldado looks like the original on steroids. Sony just dropped a new trailer for the movie, and it was exhilarating,
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,
New Solo Images Highlight the Galaxy’s Underworld
Solo: A Star Wars Story is finally here. After that much fretted over production and all the panting concern, Ron Howard’s film has seemingly done the impossible—told a ripping yarn about the young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) that has earned praise from the critics and calmed the nerves of millions of Star Wars fans.
