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. Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in his honor...

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

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, a minister whose sense of loss only increases when he tries to counsel an eco-radical at the behest of the young man’s pregnant wife (Amanda Seyfried)...

Dwayne Johnson Leaps From A Very Tall Building in new Skyscraper Trailer

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...
