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.

Lucy Hale plays a cancer patient who believes she has months left to live, only to find out she’s been cured. What remains is years of secrets her family hid from her...

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,...

See a Storyboard Sequence from Coco Come to Life

Coco had us seriously rooting for young Miguel and his burgeoning musical career. The moment when he finally plays for a crowd of thousands is a thrilling fulfillment of all our hopes. Disney and Pixar have now released a glimpse into how that moment came together.

Previous script-to-screen videos (like this adorable Wall-E scene) have compared the actual written word to the final scene. For this Coco clip, however,...

Deadpool 2 Reportedly Added More Fan Favorites During Reshoots

THR reported that Deadpool 2 went back to do six days of reshoots in Vancouver last month. Not to panic, though, fans. This is almost certainly a good thing. It seems that it improved audience favorability of the final product, which was already high. Also, there was reportedly a “secret cameo” shot in Los Angeles and added to the film.

As we reported last week, test audiences were loving Cable (Josh Brolin) and Domino (Zasie Beetz)...

5 Great Moments Form Rian Johnson’s Audio Commentary on the Star Wars: The Last Jedi Blu-Ray

Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s Blu-ray release comes with one of the most in-depth audio commentaries you’re likely to find. This is due to writer/director Rian Johnson’s love, and skill, at bringing people deep into his creative process. The Last Jedi Blu-ray release is especially robust, with Johnson’s detailed, delicious commentary joining a feature length documentary, The Director and the Jedi, that gives fans a comprehensive and compelling look at how the ambitious,...

How the Isle of Dogs Animators Drew Life from the Characters Frame By Frame

Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox was an incredible feat of animation. The storytelling transcended the inanimate objects and you can hardly believe the characters are mere puppets. A new featurette for Isle of Dogs dives deep into the artists’ methodology, giving us an incredible 3-minute documentary of the life of a stop-motion animated film.

Breathing a character into a lump of clay requires comprehensive planning. The film started in a storyboard,...

Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin go to war in new Sicario: Day of the Soldado Trailer

When Sicario was released in 2015, about the brutal battle against Mexico’s drug cartels, it instantly became one of the most compelling, riveting crime dramas of the century. Featuring an all-star lineup both in front and behind the camera, Sicario was both unflinching in its depiction of the ravages of the war on drugs on both sides of the US-Mexico border, and an intimate look on the toll this battle takes on those caught in the middle,...

The Westworld Season 2 Working Title Hints at Where the Hosts are Headed

Each season of Westworld is like a complete chapter in the story, the first of which was aptly titled ‘The Maze.’ Having seen the first season, that makes complete sense. The Man in Black (Ed Harris) was constantly trying to reach the end of the maze as Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) insisted it was not meant for him. The show’s mysteries were embedded within the labyrinth of the park. Season 2 now has a working title, and it could give us a hint about what’s to come...

Renée Zellweger Embodies an American Icon in Judy

Believe it or not, that is not Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland you’re looking at. Renée Zellweger is stepping into Garland’s ruby slippers for BBC Film Judy. Filming began yesterday in London, and the production tweeted out a picture of the star in action. The resemblance blew us away.

Breaking Down the Final Avengers: Infinity War Trailer

This past Friday we shared the final, truly epic trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. There’s a lot going on in these 2 minutes and change, so much, in fact, we thought it would be helpful to break it down. The film’s plot is a little bit more spelled out: the Mad Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin) arrives on Earth, and all the Avengers and just about every other significant character since 2008’s Iron Man is on hand to try and stop him...

Our Favorite Moments From Bill Hader’s Return in a Season’s Best Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live alum (and we’d argue, legend) Bill Hader returned to Studio 8H to host SNL for the second time. While his HBO show Barry is getting great notices, it was a joy watching the gifted comedian and actor get back into his SNL groove for the season’s most consistently hysterical show. Hader reprised a couple of his classic characters (Stefon, anyone?), with some legitimately inspired new skits and a few really awesome cameos...

Chatting With Rising Star Zoey Deutch About her Critically Acclaimed Performance in Flower

Over the last few years, Zoey Deutch has been carving out a choice spot in the hierarchy of Hollywood ingenues. She stole every scene as Beverly in Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!! and has left a strong impression in every one of her roles. A young lady known for her commitment to equality and social change, Deutch won the Women in Film Max Mara Face of the Future in 2017, a prize previously awarded to future A-listers Emily Blunt,...

Here’s Who Will Stand Out in Avengers: Infinity War According to the Russo Brothers

Fighting crime and taking down bad guys is great, but what often really solidifies a great superhero movie is the villain. Seeing someone thoroughly twisted, with a real penchant for destruction and malice, makes us root even more for our heroes. Sometimes, a villain can be so good, and his or her anger so understandable (we’re looking at you, Black Panther‘s Erik Killmonger) that while we want the good guy to win, we simultaneously can relate to the bad guy and want want him or her on the screen all the time...

Melissa McCarthy Turns to a Life of Crime in Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Melissa McCarthy has famously created some of the most side-splitting characters in film. For Can You Forgive Me?, the world-class comedian steps into another artists’ shoes. The first trailer gives us a look at McCarthy as author and forger Lee Israel.

The memoir that inspired the film was published a decade ago, but the crimes Israel committed took place in the 80s. After writing a popular article about Katherine Hepburn for Esquire magazine, Israel found success in writing biographies...

Danny Boyle Reveals He Will Direct the Next James Bond

The summer of 2017 was Bond watch. Months of waiting, watching, and speculating finally resulted in the announcement that Daniel Craig would return as 007 one last time. Craig always delivers a serious, slick, and sophisticated spy, but would Bond 25 be more of the same? As interesting rumors about potential directors began to flutter, the most intriguing prospect rose to the top. Finally, it’s official: Trainspotting director Danny Boyle confirmed he was taking on the project...

Ava DuVernay to Direct Adaptation of The New Gods

Ava DuVernay is one of our favorite filmmakers, so the news that she’ll be tackling a big-budget screen adaptation of legendary comic book visionary Jack Kirby’s The New Gods is incredibly exciting. It marks the second potentially massive comic book franchise that Warner Bros. and DC have entrusted to a female director (more of this, please) after Patty Jenkins turned Wonder Woman into a critical and box office smash.  Deadline reports that the auteur,...

The Final Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Gives Us the Lay of the Land

The stakes have never been higher and the team has never been bigger. A brand-new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War lays out exactly what the superhero allegiance is fighting for. And against.

Collect all the Infinity Stones and you can destroy half the universe, Gamora (Zoe Saldana) explains. Once someone collects all the stones, there’s no stopping them. The strategy has to be to hide the stones and fight off any aggressors in advance. In this case,...

Prepare to Journey to the OASIS with the Ready Player One Theme Song

In any Spielberg movie, there is a chance you’ll encounter a horrible danger: dinosaurs, aliens, man eating sharks etc. Although faced with absolute fear and terrible odds, there’s an excitement that makes audiences line up to embark on that adventure. Spielberg has a filmmaking magic that extends into the score. The Ready Player One main theme most certainly captures the thrill of exploring a new land.

WaterTower Music has shared the main title theme and it’s as epic as you would hope...
