Production Designer Paul Harrod on Building Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs
Wes Anderson’s latest caper, Isle of Dogs, premieres today after a warm reception last month as the opening night film at the Berlinale. The film sees Anderson making a return to stop motion animation, following The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and working in both Japanese (the human characters) and English (the canines, who are presumed to be speaking translated dog). A complex set involves a past-futuristic fictional Japanese city, called Megasaki,
Accept, Enjoy, Enthuse: Jeff Goldblum on his Mantra, Isle of Dogs & More
Jeff Goldblum is a bon vivant at heart. He always seems to be having a good time no matter what he is doing. No wonder he told Vanity Fair that his mantra is “Accept, enjoy, enthuse.” Even when he is only heard and not seen, as is the case in Wes Anderson’s stop-motion, Japanese-infused adventure Isle of Dogs, the 65-year-old actor brings joy to his role as Duke,
Pacific Rim: Uprising‘s VFX Supervisor on Creating 300-Foot Monsters in Photo-Realistic backdrops
When he was a British schoolboy, Peter Chiang used to stand in the local bookstore staring at the covers of science fiction paperbacks and dreaming about fantastical scenarios. “I just loved the imagery,” says Chiang. “I started illustrating space ships and monsters and creatures, growing up on Thunderbirds sci-fi cartoon series here in the UK, and watching Blade Runner, which had a huge impact on my life. I remember thinking ‘I want to do that.'”
HBO Reveals Brand New Westworld Season 2 Poster & Images
On Monday, we were talking about what Westworld season two’s working title might mean for where the show is headed. Today, we’re wondering if this robot vulture represents the Man in Black (Ed Harris), or fed on his carcass.

What is this place and where is everyone going? Margot Robbie is an industrial Alice, Queen of Hearts, and Mad Hatter all in one in the first Terminal teaser.

The Sumptuous Art of Black Panther
In our coverage of the now historic Black Panther, we interviewed some of the people responsible for giving the film its signature, now iconic look. Production designer Hannah Beachler and costume designer Ruth B. Carter were instrumental in creating Wakanda and the nation’s diverse, gorgeously costumed inhabitants. From the fierce Dora Milaje to the incredible panther suit, one of the joys of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther was the monumentally talented crew he entrusted to help create Marvel’s most visually striking film.

Wade Adopts Wayward Mutants & Cable’s Not Having it in Wild new Deadpool 2 Trailer
It’s tactless, vulgar, violent, hilarious, and it’s finally here. The (definitely NSFW) Deadpool 2 trailer is totally outrageous and takes nothing seriously, which is exactly what we were hoping for.
First, let’s get to the goods. Cable (Josh Brolin) comes smashing through a wall and gives us all a lesson in how to make an entrance—this is now the second time we’ve seen Cable come for Deadpool, but this trailer is much more robust.

The Won’t You Be My Neighbor Trailer Gives Us a New Appreciation for a Childhood Hero

Behold the First Teaser for Game of Thrones‘ Creator George R. R. Martin’s Nightflyers
If we told you the man whose brain bequeathed the world Game of Thrones had written a sci-fi horror novella set in space that was adapted for TV with a stellar cast and crew, you’d be interested in that, right?

How Billions‘ Production Designer Created the World of the Insanely Rich
Three years ago production designer Mike Shaw needed a change of pace from the lowdown penitentiary aesthetic he created for Orange is the New Black. In Showtime series Billions, Dash went the opposite way by designing the deluxe milieu inhabited by super-rich hedge fund shark Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis). “One of the biggest challenges in designing Billions is that a lot of people know what a millionaire’s lifestyle is like,
The Composing Team for Life Sentence Gives A New Beginning a Fresh Sound
Time seems to go by too fast. You rush to work, cram in family events at night and meet friends on the weekend. Suddenly weeks, months and years fly by. What we often forget is that life is also long. Much longer that Stella expected on new CW dramedy Life Sentence.

Andrew Garfield Investigates When His New Love Disappears in Under the Silver Lake Trailer
Romance that seems too good to be true usually is. We’ve almost gotten used to ghosting in our digital dating age. Completely disappearing in the middle of the night without your neighbor noticing, however, is another level of epic. So begins the story in the new trailer for Under the Silver Lake. The first look at the film is quirky, cool and exceptionally awkward.
Despite the likelihood that Sam’s (Andrew Garfield) new love interest took off,

As we reported last week,
