“Westworld” Director Paul Cameron Breaks Down “Generation Loss” Episode

Cinematographer Paul Cameron had worked on big pictures like Michael Mann-directed Collateral and Denzel Washington thriller Déjà Vu, so he could afford to be skeptical six years ago when he first heard about a new TV series loosely based on an old Michael Crichton sci-fi novel. Cameron says, “I remember when my agent called and said Jonah Nolan wants to talk to you about Westworld, my first reaction was: ‘Might not be not my cup of tea.'”

“She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” Trailer Reveals Two Hulks, One Abomination & One Frog-Man

What would be the most annoying way to be woken up? How about having an airhorn blasted in your ear? This is how Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) wakes up his cousin, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) in the official trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Bruce is testing Jennifer, seeing what kind of control, or lack thereof, she has over her giant green alter ego. But he’s also doing it because it’s funny. Such is the vibe of Marvel Studios’

“Stranger Things 4”: Watch Jamie Campbell Bower Become Vecna

Stranger Things season 4 was the biggest, gnarliest, and most satisfying season of the Duffer Brothers’ ambitious series. Our heroes are a little older, the stakes are higher, and the Upside Down’s mysteries are becoming clear as we near the finish line (the show will end after season 5). There has been no mystery bigger than this season’s reveal of Vecna, the tortured torturer who has been pulling the strings—er, tentacles—behind the horrors haunting Hawkins since the beginning.

Going Behind-the-Scenes With Some of This Year’s Emmy Nominees

Your 74th Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, and despite the TV Academy deciding against sharing individual tallies by platform (the TV landscape is expanding so rapidly that this is probably becoming difficult to do), the math has been done and it looks like HBO has edged out Netflix for the biggest overall haul.

Yet we’re less concerned with which platform or network had the most nominations and more delighted by the many talented people who spoke to who got nominated.

Stranger Things season 4 is on track to maybe, just maybe, catch Squid Game and become the most-watched season of TV in Netflix history. Even if it doesn’t quite catch the South Korean juggernaut series, it goes without saying that Stranger Things 4 has been a massive phenomenon.

Charlie Cox & Vincent D’Onofrio to Reprise Daredevil & Kingpin in Marvel’s “Echo”

Old enemies reuniting—how sweet.

Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio—not enemies in real life, mind you—will be making an appearance as Daredevil and Kingpin respectively in Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Echo. The series will be centered on Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez, the breakout star from Marvel’s Hawkeye, and a woman who has every reason to loathe Kingpin as much as Daredevil does.

Cox and D’Onofrio had great chemistry as the superhero and supervillain of Netflix’s Daredevil (it ran on Netflix from 2015-2018) and quickly became fan favorites.

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” Composer Natalie Holt Finds the Force

The series Obi-Wan Kenobi concluded to great acclaim, especially for star Ewan McGregor’s emotional performance in the title role, Moses Ingram’s intensity as Inquisitor Reva, and the astonishing cat-and-mouse game between Obi-Wan and his former protogé, Darth Vader. Speaking of Vader, Hayden Christensen returned to the role and gave a haunting performance, creating a richer, more tragic character arc for one of the greatest villains of all time. As with other Star Wars projects for the small screen,

“Stranger Things 4” Music Editor Lena Glikson on Cutting Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”

From the get-go, Netflix hit Stranger Things has excelled in the art and craft of needle drops. Encompassing eighties classics from David Bowie’s “Heroes” in Season One to “Everlasting Love” in Season Three, song choices curated by three-time Emmy nominated music supervisor Nora Felder have consistently amplified the characters’ emotions to uncanny effect. 

But nothing in Stranger Things’ previous hit list prepared audiences for this summer’s zeitgeist-smashing anthem “Running Up That Hill.”

A mysterious ball of light arcs across the sky at the start of a new teaser for Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. While the light itself isn’t explained in this bite-sized glimpse at the streamer’s upcoming fantasy epic, it does light the path towards the real sneak peek now available for Amazon Prime subscribers.

“Moon Knight” Cinematographer Gregory Middleton on Creating Marvel’s Head Trip

Moon Knight cinematographer Gregory Middleton came to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with considerable world-building experience. He helmed six episodes of HBO’s colossal fantasy series Game of Thrones, as well as three episodes of Damon Lindelof’s fantastic adaptation of Watchmen (also for HBO), so it would be unfair to say he was daunted to take on Marvel’s vaunted, ever-expanding cinematic universe.
