Cinematographer Stephen McNutt on Lighting the Moon in “For All Mankind”

For All Mankind, the Apple TV prestige drama that presents an alternate history of NASA and mid-century American space exploration takes a darker turn in its second season. Previously, having been beaten by the Soviets to the moon, the Americans handily caught up, establishing a tiny lunar base called Jamestown and even achieving gender parity in the astronaut ranks. At the start of Season 2, a decade has passed and both nations’ space programs have grown by leaps and bounds,

“The Nevers” Production Designer Gemma Jackson on HBO’s Sci-Fi Victorian-Era Series

Bringing unique worlds to life is production designer Gemma Jackson’s stock-in-trade. So, she didn’t hesitate when offered the opportunity to create the look for The Nevers, the Victorian-era sci-fi series that debuted on HBO in April.

“I think what drew me was a remarkably interesting script and an extraordinary storyline that I’d never read the likes of before,” says Jackson from her home in England during a Zoom interview. “It was predominantly women—women-led—which was a bit of a turn-on.

We now have our first look at the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, courtesy of HBO. House Targaryen is naturally the focus of House of the Dragon, and the new images reveal a couple of blonde Targaryens and a few other key players, all enjoying (grimly, it appears) some time on the beach. House of the Dragon began production last month, so Game of Thrones fans can officially start the clock on when they’ll get to venture back to Westeros.

Rod Roddenberry Reflects on His Father’s “Star Trek” Legacy for Centennial Year

Star Trek has beamed audiences to strange and mysterious worlds for more than half a century. The franchise is adventurous, exciting, and explores the promise of an unlimited future.

Through the eyes of aliens, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry hoped to gain greater insight into the potential of humankind.

“Dickinson” Visual Effects Supervisor Lotta Forssman on a Sumptuous Season Two

Dickinson wrapped up its critically acclaimed second season this past February. The show’s premise, you might conclude from its title, is that we’re getting an up-close look at one of the most notoriously private American geniuses this country has ever produced. Only Dickinson, created by Alena Smith, takes the legendary poet Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) and dismantles the legacy of her reclusiveness in favor of a look at her expansiveness as a writer,

“The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” Costume Designer Michael Crow on the New Captain America

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier capped off (pun intended) its 6-episode season last Friday night in style. That style was set by a brand new look for Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) who, after an arduous journey since Captain America (Chris Evans) handed him the shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame, finally accepted both the iconic shield and the role itself. The newly minted Captain America,

Director Hanelle Culpepper on Filming Fights & Making History in “Kung Fu”

Directing a series pilot has a huge impact on the viability of the show, putting tremendous pressure on the director. It’s pressure Hanelle Culpepper can handle, exemplified by the ratings and stellar reviews of her award-winning work on last year’s Star Trek: Picard. On The CW’s Kung Fu, she was chosen by showrunner Christina M. Kim to direct the first two episodes of a series making history as the first hour-long drama featuring a predominantly Asian-American cast.

A fresh look at one of 2021’s most eagerly anticipated series has arrived. Amazon has revealed a new trailer for writer/director Barry Jenkins’ The Underground Railroad.  Jenkins has been giving us glimpses of his 10-episode limited series, each one more beautiful and beguiling than the last.

Netflix Renews “Bridgerton” For Seasons 3 & 4

It was only this past January (which, admittedly, feels like four years ago) that Netflix renewed Bridgerton for season 2. It appears another season wasn’t enough of an assurance for all the Bridgerheads out there, so now Netflix has renewed the series for seasons 3 and 4 while season two is in production.

A lot of digital ink was spilled when news broke that season one star Regé-Jean Page,

Watch Hilarious Cut of Baron Zemo Dancing in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”

If you’d spent years in a German prison and then suddenly f0und yourself on a dance floor with a righteous beat playing, what would you do? If you’re Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl), you dance, obviously. And now Disney+ has heeded fans calls and released an hour-long cut—yes, an hour—of Brühl’s villainous Zemo dancing from the third episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. 

Why were folks so enthused when they saw Zemo dancing (briefly!) in episode three?

Scoring a Serial Killer’s Many Transformations in “The Serpent”

In the 1970s, young travelers flocked to Asia for exotic adventures and a liberating nomadic lifestyle, but an evil force slithered beneath the surface to prey on them. Netflix’s The Serpent dives into the underbelly world of real-life serial killer, Charles Sobhraj. Tahar Rahim stars as the convicted murderer who targeted westerners and hippies traveling through Bangkok to steal their identities and funds. Composer Dominik Scherrer scored the hypnotic soundtrack that draws from the era and geographic setting,

New “Loki” Trailer Revels in Time-Traveling Mischief

For all you Loki fans out there—and just about every MCU aficionado counts—Marvel has just released the official trailer for Loki, and you’re going to be quite pleased. Tom Hiddleston’s mischievous antihero, the yin to Thor’s yang, highlights this freewheeling, time-traveling trailer. With this longer look at Loki, it’s now clear just how wonderfully different Marvel’s first three series are from each other. WandaVision was a deceptively deep comedy/drama, 

Composer Keefus Ciancia Releases Two-Volume Soundtrack for HBO Max’s “Made For Love”

Composer Keefus Ciancia is no stranger to dark material. In 2019 Ciancia won a BAFTA for Best Television Soundtrack for his work on Phoebe Waller-Bridge‘s deliciously diabolical Killing Eve and was nominated for an Emmy for his work on season three of HBO’s True Detective. Now, Ciancia is the composer behind another twisty HBO Max series, Made For Love, based on Alissa Nutting’s novel (she executive produces and writes on the series). 

The Full “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Cast Revealed

The full cast of Disney+’s upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi has been revealed, and it boasts some well-known stars and some up-and-coming talent. The long-gestating series is really ramping up, which will catch up with the Jedi master 10 years after he bested Annakin Skywalker in a lightsaber duel in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. 

We’ve known for a while now that Hayden Christensen would be reprising his role of Annakin Skywalker,

Watch Oscar Isaac’s Stunt Training For Marvel’s “Moon Knight” Series

Oscar Isaac sure looks ready to take on the mantle of Marvel superhero Moon Knight. In a new video released by his production company’s Instagram account, Mad Gene Media, Isaac is hard at work doing fight choreography. You’ll note that one of the hashtags included in the video is #TheOneYouSeeComing, which is a direct quote from Moon Knight in the comics. (“Moon Knight #5 to be exact.)
