Writer/director Destin Daniel Cretton on Adapting Jeannette Walls’ The Glass Castle
Writer/director Destin Daniel Cretton re-teamed with his Short Term 12 star Brie Larson for The Glass Castle, based on Jeannette Walls’ best-selling memoir about her chaotic childhood. Walls’ parents struggled with substance abuse and mental illness, and their four children were often hungry and neglected. Larson plays Walls as a young adult, professionally successful as a gossip columnist in New York. As the film opens, we see her leave an elegant restaurant after dinner with her Wall Street fiancé and his prospective client. From her taxi,
Watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle‘s Action-Packed “Southern Charm” TV Spot
Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service was a big hit, giving audiences an inspired, slightly insane mash-up of James Bond and a European Dirty Dozen. Starring Taron Egerton, Mark Strong and Colin Firth as members of a an independent, international intelligence agency operating out of what appears to be a high-end tailor, Kingsman was a blast, famously requiring Firth to do things in a film that no one ever dreamed we’d see him do (the church scene still shocks).
Here’s Your First Look at Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2
One-man marketing department Ryan Reynolds has once again summoned most of the internet to his Twitter page for these images of Josh Brolin as Cable, the time traveling, heavily armored X-Force cyborg (and son of Cyclops) who will be starring alongside Reynolds in Deadpool 2.
“We all have that one, grumpy, heavily armed Uncle from the future,” Reynolds writes beneath the first image of Brolin as Cable, a headshot that highlights Cable’s wicked facial scars and his cyborg eye.
You May be Seeing Woman Woman in the Upcoming Flash Film
While many fans already know of the Wonder Woman sequel that has been confirmed for release in 2019, it has recently emerged that the character will have longevity beyond the sequel alone. Though it has been revealed that one of the next DC Comic films will center around the Flash, it seems as though fans can also expect Wonder Woman to make an appearance.
The upcoming Flash film is set to be based on Flashpoint,
How Avengers: Infinity War Directors Anthony and Joe Russo Kept the Script Secret
In a world of spoilers and leaked episodes, new pre-release information about franchises such as The Avengers is like gold. And that, perhaps, is why Anthony and Joe Russo, who are directing the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, elected to not give their cast members full scripts. As Elizabeth Olsen, the actress behind the series’ Scarlet Witch, revealed to Stephen Colbert, the Russo brothers only supplied her with script pages immediately relevant to her character,
Game of Thrones Recap: “The Spoils of War”
Last night’s episode was satisfying on several fronts. Featuring several reunions, a battle, and the possible death of a main character, The Spoils of War capitalized on all that makes Game of Thrones so good. With several loose ends beginning to wrap up, we were reminded that we are entering into the final episodes of the series. Now more than halfway through Season 7, this episode was Game of Thrones in peak form.
Mr. Robot, The Deuce, & Narcos Drop New Trailers

The Brilliant Sound Technique That Makes Dunkirk so Viscerally Intense
We’ve written quite a bit about Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, specifically about the film’s boundary pushing technical brilliance. We explained to you why it matters that the film was shot in 70-mm (and how it affects your movie-going experience), and we wrote about how Nolan and his team’s use of IMAX cameras helped tell one of the most miraculous escapes in military history.

Watch This Insane Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Music Video Inferno
There have been lots of reasons to love James Gunn’s two Guardians of the Galaxy films. There’s been the loose, lively chemistry between the cast, the zany, cosmic storytelling, the humor, the heart, Groot, and also, of course, baby Groot (and teen Groot!) What Guardians also possesses, more so than any other Marvel movie in history, is a deep, abiding love of music—it’s right there in the title, with the films so influenced by Star-lord’s beloved mixed tapes.
What we Know About Ex Machina Director Alex Garland’s Next Film Annihlation
Alex Garland projects are some of my favorites. I actually bought the Blu-ray of his 2015 film Ex Machina for fear that the film would rotate out of the streaming services I use, thereby hindering my ability to obsessively rewatch the film every few months or so. And there is no better time to be an Alex Garland fan than now, as it was just announced that his next film, Annihilation,
Fall Film Preview: Major Directors Return With Passion Projects
What other than looking to fall’s slate of Oscar-baiting films will get us through the dog days of summer (besides, right now, an air conditioned theater and a cherry coke the size of our head)? Of course it’s far too early for much buzz to build up, but we still know which of the big studio releases, coming out when the weather cools down, are on our personal must-see roster.
The Kenneth Branagh-directed adaptation of one of Agatha Christie’s most iconic novels is the fourth film iteration of the detective drama,
Fearless of Spoilers? Then Read This Super Intriguing Game of Thrones Theory
The first few episodes of Game of Thrones have been tough on fans of Daenerys Targaryen. We’ve seen her fail at the hands of Euron Greyjoy, leaving her navy all but obliterated, with Yara Greyjoy, and Ellaria and Tyene Sand quite unhappily captured. So too, her move to take Casterly Rock has proven to be another misstep. But if one’s fans theory is correct, these brutal losses in battle might just be worthwhile in the end.
Taylor Sheridan Talks his Chilling Directorial Debut Wind River
From actor (lawman David Hale on FX’s Sons of Anarchy) to acclaimed screenwriter (2015’s Mexican drug-war thriller Sicario, 2016’s Texas-set neo-Western Hell or High Water) to writer-director (Wind River, opening today), Taylor Sheridan has had quite a career trajectory since he first popped up on the Hollywood scene in the mid-90s as a TV acting staple. The 47-year-old Lone Star native considers his three feature films so far to be part of a trilogy that examines the state of the American frontier,
Watch Winnie the Pooh’s Creation in Goodbye Christopher Robin Trailer
Fox Searchlight has released the first full-length trailer for Goodbye Christopher Robin, which introduces you to the man who created the iconic character Winnie the Pooh (and his friends, including Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger), and the post World War I era in which the lovable Teddy Bear and his companions were born. A family friendly drama with a stellar cast, Goodbye Christopher Robin offers parents and their children a solid choice at the multiplex this fall.
Check out the First Trailer for Eli Roth’s Death Wish Starring Bruce Willis
We can finally take a peek at the first trailer for Eli Roth’s Death Wish remake, starring Bruce Willis as Paul Kersey, a mild, liberal Chicago architect who essentially becomes the arch angle of death after his wife (Elizabeth Shue) and daughter (Camila Morrone) are the victims of brutal home invasion.
Director Michael Winner’s 1974 original starred Charles Bronson, and was enough of a hit that four sequels followed. Willis, no stranger to action films (he was once the undisputed king of them) is an interesting match for director Eli Roth,
Pennywise Would Like to see you now in two new It Teasers
All indications point to Andy Muschietti’s It being one of the year’s scariest films. Written by Chase Palmer, writer/director extraordinaire Cary Fukunaga, and Gary Dauberman, the trailer and teasers we’ve seen thus far hint at perhaps the most terrifying Stephen King adaptation in years, with an R rating to prove it.
It follows a group of teenagers in Derry Main who are assaulted by It, a malevolent force whose favorite form is that of Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgard).
Game of Thrones Releases Images for Episode 4 “Spoils of War”
One of the images HBO just released for this Sunday’s Game of Thrones Episode, “The Spoils of War,” highlights one of the reunions we knew was coming this season; between Theon Greyjoy and Jon Snow. The shot shows Theon on the beach in Dragonstone, where he will likely test just how noble a man Jon Snow really is, and whether he’s so focused on the Night’s King and the White Walkers that he has no time for revenge.
The Walking Dead Celebrates its 100th Episode
When The Walking Dead returns this October, the premiere will also mark the series’ hundredth episode. A hoped-for milestone for all shows, the cast took a moment to commemorate the occasion with a video, released by AMC. Featuring quirky and personal tributes from many of the main cast, the video is a testament to the show’s monumental success. Cast members reflect on everything from the show’s longevity, to their surprise that their character has endured the inhospitable world of The Walking Dead for so long.
A Geological Data Scientist Weighs in on Game of Thrones Doom of Valryia Myth
Even fans would probably agree that it’s for the best that the world of Game of Thrones does not actually exist. Between imminent threats like dragons and Cersei, the unforgiving landscapes featured can often seem like non-threats in comparison. But those who really cling to the details George R. R. Martin includes in his descriptions – and those with expertise in geology – will tell you the geography of Game of Thrones is a dangerous,
Watch the 1st Trailer for Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father
Netflix has released the first trailer for Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father, based on the memoir of Loung Ung, who survived the Khmer Rouge’s despotic regime from 1975 to 1978 and went on to become a celebrate author and human rights activist. The nearly wordless trailer is a poetic, if haunting, look at Loung’s life as a young girl in Cambodia during an era that saw the state-sanctioned murder of millions,
