Watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2‘s Michael Rooker Become Yondu
We love makeup artists here at The Credits. Time and time again, these wizards turn mere human actors into gods, monsters and everything in between, often deploying a wide variety of talents to create the characters that the script demands. Whether its Logan's Joel Harlow, explaining to us the finer points of turning Hugh Jackman into the clawed mutant Wolverine, or The Revenant's Sian Grigg's pristine work dirtying up the usually dapper Leonardo DiCaprio,...
Twin Peaks Premiere Delights, Creeps out Critics
David Lynch and Mark Frost’s iconic Twin Peaks returned to television last night, 27 years after it first appeared and changed the medium as we knew it, and it seems the wait has been worth it. Critics have spent today largely hailing the 2-hour premiere, which reacquainted us with FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), the Palmer family and the deeply creepy, supernatural weirdness that goes on in the fictional, titular town. What's more, Twin Peaks ...
Early Word on Wonder Woman Indicates its the Best DC Film Yet
Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is carrying a lot of weight on its' shoulders. There's the fan expectations (Wonder Woman is one of the most popular superheroes), there's the films' role as the first female superhero film, and finally, there's the fact that it represents the best chance for Warner Bros. DC films to find their footing. Granted, both Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad were commercial hits, fans are still waiting for that DC film that really blows them away,...

New Wonder Woman Spot Suggests She’s a Bigger Superhero Than Batman or Superman
You have to love that chutzpah behind this new Wonder Woman TV spot. As we get closer to the June 2 premiere for Patty Jenkins film, the first big screen adaptation for one of the most popular superheroes of all time, Warner Bros. is not mincing their words on where Diana Prince falls in their DC Comics pantheon. This spot cleverly opens with this message: "Metropolis has Superman, Gotham has Batman, and the World has Wonder Woman."...

Talking to Writer/Director Robin Swicord About Wakefield
It’s been a decade since screenwriter Robin Swicord’s directorial debut, The Jane Austen Book Club, opened in theaters and managed to gross slightly more than its $6 million budget in worldwide ticket sales. Since that time, she has struggled to find backers for a sophomore effort – despite being Oscar-nominated for her contributions to the adapted screenplay for 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
It’s a situation that many females in the industry know all too well...
Director Steven James on his Crucial Doc Abacus: Small Enough to Jail
When discussing the 2008 financial crisis, the word "big" comes up a lot. The big banks, The Big Short, too big to fail. But the first American financial institution to be indicted for mortgage-lending misconduct after 2008 was not big, as director Steve James acknowledges in the title of his new documentary, Abacus: Small Enough to Jail, which opens in New York on May 19.
"I had to inform them today that they have dropped from being the 2,651st largest bank to the 2,652nd largest bank,...

The fact that Star Trek will be back on the air is news we all can use. Not only has the Star Trek reboot on the big screen been a massive success (led by J.J. Abrams), but the entire sci-fi genre is experiencing the kind of sustained excellence that speaks to just how malleable it is at telling stories we want to hear. Whether the narrative involves the human need for connection, space exploration,...

Russell Crowe’s Dr. Jekyll is the Key Figure in The Mummy
Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) is the prime mover in The Mummy, and may just be one of the crossover characters that show up in Universal's shared monster universe. While the film’s main star is, of course, Tom Cruise, Crowe’s Jekyll knows more about what's going on than any other character, and some of what he knows, like what's inside himself, will no doubt have a huge impact on how the story unfolds,...
