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.

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. The new trailer showed just how much Serkis was committed to capturing the story of a feral child torn between the home he has always known in the jungle, and the confusing, even more terrifying world of humans.
