“Scream VI” Trailer Finds Hayden Panettiere Back Fighting Ghostface in NYC

New Yorkers are legendarily tough, so it’ll be interesting to see how they handle Ghostface, that notorious killer (and his many copycats) who usually do their slashing in Woodsboro, California. Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for Scream VI, which plucks Ghostface from the Cali burbs to the Big Apple, and brings back a familiar face in Hayden Panettiere, who returns as Kirby Reed from Scream 4.

The trailer opens in the most New York of settings,

“Emancipation” Hair Department Head Andrea Bowman on Her Oscar-Shortlisted Work

Andrea Mona Bowman knew that Emancipation was going to be special.

Based on a true story, Emancipation stars Will Smith as Peter, a Southern slave who breaks free from his Confederate captors and escapes into the Louisiana swaps. Chased for days, Peter makes his way to Baton Rouge, where he joins the Union army to fight for his freedom. There, he is introduced to new technology — photography.

“Babylon” Composer Justin Hurwitz Deconstructs His Oscar-Shortlisted Score

“I’m very obsessive, and I can only do one thing at a time, so when Damien has a movie to work on, I go all in.” That’s composer Justin Hurwitz talking about his ongoing collaboration with filmmaker Damien Chazelle, and clearly, the laser vision has paid off. Hurwitz started working on his Oscar short-listed score for Babylon back in 2019, a few years after winning two Academy Awards for the Chazelle-directed La La Land.

HBO’s “The Last Of Us” Has Massive Debut

First came the outstanding reviews, and then came a monster debut. It’s all good news for HBO’s The Last Of Us, which lived up to its hype with not a more or less unanimously positive critical reception—it’s sitting at 99% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes—but by pulling in a whopping 4.7 million viewers across all linear and HBO Max platforms on Sunday night in the United States. This puts the video game adaptation, from co-creators Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Craig Druckmann (the creator of the original game),

New “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” Teaser Shows Scott Lang Outmatched by Kang

The new teaser for Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania opens with a little light parenting. Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is telling his daughter, Cassie (Kathryn Newton), to breathe. Cassie’s understandably a little panicked as she finds herself, along with dad Scott, his girlfriend Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Hope’s mom Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) are no longer on Earth. Well, not the Earth that they know.

“The Mandalorian” Season 3 Trailer Finds Din Djarin & Grogu Attempting a Dangerous Homecoming

Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are back together again, which means their adventures are only going to get more intense. The official trailer for The Mandalorian season three dropped during last night’s NFL playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we’re guessing the action in The Mandalorian will be a lot more evenly matched. Especially considering our heroic bounty hunter will attempt to right the wrongs of his past.

“Yellowjackets” Season 2 Trailer Teases One of TV’s Best Thrillers

The first teaser trailer for Yellowjackets season 2 is finally here, revealing a snack-sized glimpse at the return of one of TV’s most satisfying thrillers.

How Matt Reeves’ “BatVerse” Might Coexist Within the New DC Universe

Writer/director Matt Reeves’ The Batman was a thing of dark beauty. A street-level, neo-noir detective story that started with a supervillain’s brutal crime and swept us right into the world of Batman (Robert Pattinson) as he learns the tricks of a trade he’d invented in the second year of his vigilantism. There had never been a Batman movie quite like it, and the Gotham that Reeves and his stellar cast and crew created resonated with fans and critics alike.

“Sharper” Trailer Reveals Apple TV’s Julianne Moore-led Neo-Noir Thriller

The first trailer for Sharper is here, revealing director Benjamin Caron (Andor, The Crown)’s neo-noir thriller, and we’re getting some delicious vibes. Sometimes there’s nothing more satisfying than a good heist film, one that pits ambitious grifters and mysterious shape-shifters against the ruthless rich. And in the case of Sharper, these archetypes are embodied by some terrific performers.

Meet Richard Hobbes (John Lithgow), a Manhattan-based billionaire with money to burn and games to play.

Opposites Attract in “Your Place Or Mine” Trailer With Reese Witherspoon & Ashton Kutcher

A romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher sounds like precisely the kind of thing the world could use this coming Valentine’s Day. And while Your Place or Mine opens a skooch before Valentine’s, the film will still function perfectly as something sweet to kickstart the most romantic (and corporately created) holiday of the year.

The premise of Your Place or Mine is simple and efficient; Witherspoon’s Debbie and Kutcher’s Peter have been best friends for 20 years.

We’ll take any hint that writer/director Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel is happening, and luckily, we’ve got one.

In a conversation with ColliderReeves all but confirmed that he is, indeed, working on the sequel, as we had assumed way back in April of last year when Warner Bros. announced the sequel had been greenlit. And why wouldn’t there be a sequel, we thought at the time?
