Wonder Woman‘s Cinematographer on Capturing the Dynamic Essence of Diana Prince
Wonder Woman was exactly who we needed, exactly when we needed her, and she reframed the landscape among a crowded superhero genre. Director Patty Jenkins and her team brought to life a leading character who could feel love, fury, compassion and power in equal parts. Diana Prince and Steve Trevor’s relationship was a romance of equals (well, sort of—Diana was willing to treat him as an equal) that was charming, tender, passionate and heartbreaking.

Hugh Jackman Wants to See Wolverine Team Up with Iron Man and The Hulk
Hugh Jackman is currently on press tour for The Greatest Showman, in which he plays one of the biggest names in show business, P.T. Barnum.

Your Star Wars: The Last Jedi First Impressions are in, and They’re Insanely Positive
There are very few sure things in life, and the things that are sure (death, taxes, Monday mornings) tend to be bad. While it was entirely reasonable to assume that Rian Johnson would knock Star Wars: The Last Jedi out of the park, it was far from certain. A finished film is the work of dozens, sometimes hundreds of people, and even a filmmaker as sure footed, clear-eyed and collaborative as Johnson can make mistakes.

I, Tonya Screenwriter Steven Rogers on the Many Sides to one of the ’90s Most Infamous Antiheroes
Steven Rogers remembers watching Tonya Harding at the televised 1994 Olympics when she complained to judges about a broken shoe lace a few weeks after being accused of ordering an attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan. “I thought, ‘Oh, she just wants attention, anything for attention,’ because that’s what I was being fed,” says Rogers. “That’s what we were all being fed.”
