Review Roundup: Solo: A Star Wars Story Delivers the Goods
The reviews for Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story are out, and the critics are mostly in agreement that this is the most fun, breeziest stand-alone Star Wars film yet released. The reviews pretty much jibe with the first reactions we published last Friday—great performances, some terrific action set pieces, and the scruffy charm you’d want, and expect, in a film about the young Han Solo. For those folks who were worried about Alden Ehrenreich,
Solo Features the Most Costumes of Any Star Wars Film
With the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story just two days away, Disney has posted a behind the scenes look at the incredible work that went into the film. In many ways, this is the most swashbuckling Star Wars movie yet. Han Solo is one of the greatest characters in the franchise, and certainly its most beloved scoundrel, so it’s comforting to know the filmmakers went above and beyond. In this great new featurette,
The New Mission: Impossible – Fallout Trailer is Pure Adrenalin
You will likely not see a more kinetic, viscerally intense trailer this year. Topping the action from the previous installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise is both as sure and seemingly impossible a thing as death itself. After Ghost Protocol, when Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, of course) went Spider-Man outside of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world’s tallest building, and ran across the glass face of the building a mile and a half above ground,
Costume Designer Phoebe de Gaye Brings Killer Style to Killing Eve
In the role of the international assassin known as Villanelle on Killing Eve, Jodie Comer is literally dressed to kill in a high-end wardrobe full of labels such as Burberry, Miu Miu, Dries Van Noten and Phillip Lim.
The chic attire, which prompted Vogue to hail Killing Eve as the most fashionable show on television, was sourced by a small team led by costume designer Phoebe de Gaye,
More Transmissions from the Westworld Hosts Appear on Delos Website
Today I am back to my full-time job of clicking on everything that is possibly clickable on the ever-evolving Westworld website. It has become an obsession that is interfering with my daily life, but this maze was meant for me and I will reach the end. Over the summer, the Delos Destinations site seemed to be glitching out, but we still got insight into the total number of parks.
A Close-Up Photo of You Know What From Avengers: Infinity War‘s Post-Credit Scene
Even though Avengers: Infinity War premiered way back on April 27, we’re still going to make sure you’ve seen the film before we suggest you keep reading…
Still here? Fantastic. Let’s all rejoice at a close-up photo of the one glimmer of hope from Infinity War, the most somber film in Marvel history. Truly, the only moment in the last, oh, 40-minutes of the film that gave us any hope at all occurred during the otherwise hideously depressing post-credits scene.
Nightflyers Promo Sets the Tone for George R.R. Martin’s Spaceship Thriller
Game of Thrones, inspired by George R.R. Martin’s epic series A Song of Ice and Fire, is nearing its final winter. Season 8, airing in the summer of 2019, will be the end of the series. If you can’t imagine your life without Martin’s stories in it, fear not. If you can stomach sci-fi horror, Nightflyers is on the way. SyFy released a behind the scenes feature of the show in March,
Book Club‘s Creators on How Fifty Shades of Grey Inspired Their Dream Project
Whatever you did to celebrate Mother’s Day probably wasn’t as great as Bill Holderman’s gift to his mom in 2012. The final book in the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy had just been published, and the Book Club director, co-producer, and co-screenwriter sent the entire set to his mother.
“As sons do, right?” Holderman joked.
Book Club co-producer and co-screenwriter Erin Simms worked with Holderman at a production company at the time and heard about the plan.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Features More Dinosaurs Than Every Previous Film—Combined
While Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) wants you to adopt a dinosaur, you’re smarter than that. You know that the humans who have populated the Jurassic franchise have consistently underestimated their own intelligence and ability to “control” life. Dinosaurs cannot be adopted (even symbolically) because they are not ours to have, to own, or to manipulate. You’ve seen this proven time and time again throughout the franchise, and now, a new featurette boasts that J.A.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘s Claire Dearing Wants you to Adopt a Dinosaur
Are you more of a herbivore lover, or do you prefer dinosaurs with fangs and a taste for meat? Do you like a lumbering, gentle giant, or a fleet-footed killer? If you’re the former, perhaps you’ll want to adopt a cute (if a little long in the hoof) 17-year old ankylosaurus, a peaceful herbivore with an impressively spiked, shelled back. The baryonyx, on the other hand, has a serious set of fangs, and prefers eating fish.
Behold Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury in First Bohemian Rhapsody Trailer
At long last, our first good look at Bohemian Rhapsody is here. 20th Century Fox has just dropped the first trailer for Dexter Fletcher’s biopic, which follows the rise of the iconic British rock band Queen, starring Rami Malek as the legendary frontman Freddie Mercury. Bohemian Rhapsody tracks Queen’s staggering ascent into the stratosphere of fame and fortune as one of the 1970s biggest acts (in a decade lousy with them),
See What all the Buzz is About in the First Trailer for Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman
Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman made waves at the Cannes Film Festival, where it has a good shot at taking home the Palme d’Or. Critics are hailing the film as both a hilarious and bracing, stylish and unnerving. In short, a Spike Lee joint, from an auteur who seems to be back at the top of his game. The first trailer will give you a peek at what all the buzz is about.
Lee’s film is based on Ron Stallworth’s book,
Deadpool 2 Review Roundup: More Outrageous & Hilarious Than the Original
Deadpool 2‘s reviews are officially out, and most critics are in agreement that somehow, the franchise has gotten even snarkier, funnier and more irreverent than the original. Coming on the heels of Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel’s somber epic, Deadpool 2 backflips into theaters this Friday with all the weightiness of a cinematic Cirque du Soleil. Led by Ryan Reynolds as the fourth wall smashing antihero Wade Wilson,
Westworld Will Finally Take Us Into Shogun World in the Next Episode
Westworld is filled with mysteries, secrets and surprises. One plot point we have long expected, however, is the introduction of other parks. Namely, Shogun World. We were surprised to actually enter the colonial India park, The Raj, before the long-foreshadowed Shogun World. The episode 5 teaser indicates that we may finally get the proper introduction to the snowy Imperial Japanese themed park we’ve long been waiting for.
Last week’s episode saw Maeve,
Ryan Reynolds Enthuses About X-Force Possibilities
We’re still a few days away from Deadpool 2‘s premiere date—the early buzz is that the film’s even better than the original—but star Ryan Reynolds is already dreaming of the pending X-Force movie. X-Force will be directed by The Martian and World War Z screenwriter Drew Goddard, who is currently putting the finishing touches on Bad Times at the El Royale,
Harrison Ford Crashed an Interview to Share His Thoughts on Solo: A Star Wars Story
We would have a lot more trouble getting any work done if we knew that Harrison Ford was watching our every move. Solo: A Star Wars Story actor, Alden Ehrenreich, could now reasonably expect the Hollywood legend to show up at his workplace at any time. Ehrenreich is taking over the role of the galaxy’s most famous smuggler, Han Solo. While out on a press junket for the film, opening this Friday,
RBG‘s Cinematographer on Revealing an American Icon
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has sparked a cultural fandom that is usually reserved for musicians, actors and athletes. The Supreme Court Justice’s face adorns stickers and pins at every bookstore and she has adopted the moniker ‘Notorious RBG.’ At 85 years old, Ginsburg is engaging the next generation of activists, but her personal history is just as inspiring. RBG Cinematographer Claudia Raschke worked with directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen to peel back the layers of Ginsburg’s career and grant us insight into her life as a wife,
The Intriguing Obstacles Avengers: Infinity War has Created for Marvel
The Russo Brothers Avengers: Infinity War is currently zooming into film history, already becoming the 5th largest global release of all time. This past Mother’s Day weekend saw Infinity War topping the box office for the third weekend in a row, with the second largest opening in China’s history. The film’s somber tone—and that heartbreaking ending—have not kept audiences from the theater. Yet while Infinity War has been an absolute smash for Marvel (after Ryan Coogler’s historic Black Panther broke box office records and buried,
Chris Evans to Star in Neill Blomkamp’s Disaster Movie Greenland
When you think of Chris Evans, you think of Captain America. Evans has been playing Cap since 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, and has been one of the marquee names in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since. Yet Evans proved that he could carry a film without his vibranium shield in Joon-ho Bong’s stellar sci-fi thrill ride Snowpiercer in 2013. In that film, Evans played Curtis, a member of the lower class forced to eat protein blocks (processed cockroaches) and generally live in a Dickensian nightmare on the back of the titular train,
Ryan Coogler Would Love to Direct a Female-Led Black Panther Spin-Off
There is no question that Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan were electric as T’Challa and Erik Killmonger respectively in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. As the king and his would-be usurper, Boseman and Jordan could have carried this film on their shoulders based on their superb performances alone, but of course, they didn’t have to. Black Panther‘s women, led by Danai Gurira’s general Okoye, Lupita Nyong’o’s super spy Nakia,
