Jeremy Renner-led Hawkeye Series in Works for Disney +
From Infinity War no-show to potentially starring in his own Disney + series, figuring out where Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye may or may not pop up is a fun game. Variety reports that the sharpshooting Avenger will likely have his own limited series on the upcoming streaming service Disney +. We know Hawkeye—with his fresh new haircut—has a role to play in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame.
Enemies, Frenemies, Family, Lovers: A Game of Thrones Explainer
The 8th and final season of Game of Thrones is a mere few days away. Even if you’re knowledgeable about what’s at stake and who the players are, it’s still fairly easy to get confused. Euron Grejoy is doing what again for Cersei? Bran Stark and Jaime Lannister are connected how? Sansa and Tyrion were once married? These survivors have years of history between them, and it’s been—wait for it—590 days since the season 7 finale,
Game of Thrones Creators Had Ending in Mind for Five Years
Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been working on Game of Thrones for 11-years. When they began the journey of adapting George R. R. Martin‘s “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, they had a lot of narrative road to work with. Then Game of Thrones zoomed past Martin’s books. Once it was clear they’d finish their series before he finished his books, Benioff and Weiss met with Martin to discuss how he was planning on ending his saga.
Fosse/Verdon Hair Designer Perfects Art of the Comb-Over for Sam Rockwell
Director-choreographer Bob Fosse had nearly everything an auteur could desire in 1973. That was the year he became the only person in history to win one Oscar (Cabaret), four Emmys (Liza with a Z), and two Tonys (Pippin) inside of a year. He also had a gifted wife in the person of four-time Tony-winning dancer/muse/collaborator Gwen Verdon. But as portrayed by Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell in Fosse/Verdon (premiering Tuesday,
Game of Thrones Writer Says Watch These 21 Episodes Before Final Season
The countdown for the premiere of the 8th and final season of Game of Thrones is nearly over. This Sunday, April 14, marks the beginning of the end for our favorite dragon mothers, Hounds and water-dancing sprites (we’re talking about Arya here, naturally.) HBO has been flooding the zone with GoT promo material in recent weeks, highlighting the work of the hundreds of individuals it takes to pull off TV’s biggest series.
Being Daenerys: The Game of Thrones Cast Reflects on Their Roles
Game of Thrones’ 8th and final season premieres this Sunday. HBO’s world-conquering series has just six more episodes left. The long-simmering battle between the living and the dead will finally explode. In the run-up to the premiere, HBO has shined a light on the folks who make the series possible. From the visual effects department who breathe life into Dany’s dragons to the stunt professionals who willingly light themselves on fire to the prosthetics department turning actors into White Walkers,
Our Planet‘s Composer Scores Nature’s Astonishing Variety—and Fragility
Composer Steven Price is best known for his Oscar-winning music used in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. Recently, Price turned his talents to creating the sweeping, majestic score for Netflix’s new original eight-part documentary series Our Planet.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Images Tease the Brutal Winter Ahead
No matter where you are or what the weather is like, this is the month of winter. It has finally arrived. The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is just two Sundays away.
If you are not fully caught up, we suggest you get back to binging before pouring over these new photos.
The first thing we notice is that it is really freaking cold.
New Game of Thrones Teaser Envisions the Victorious Dead
The tattered sigil of House Stark flies over what appears a destroyed Winterfell. Considering this new Game of Thrones teaser is entitled “Aftermath,” you would be forgiven for assuming the Night King and his army of the dead have already won.
HBO has been releasing Game of Thrones promos, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and videos that look back at previous seasons at a breakneck pace.
Two new Game of Thrones Promos Highlight the Cost of War
True to its title, the first new Game of Thrones promo is all about survival. Here we get a remix of sorts of some of the more thrilling moments we saw from the season 8 trailer. You’ve got Jon Snow (Kit Harington) standing before the weirwood tree in the godswood of Winterfell. There are brief shots of Cersei (Lena Headey) and Qyburn (Anton Lesser), looking smug and sinister both. There’s Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) suiting up for the coming war.
How Game of Thrones‘ Visual Effects Team Give Dany’s Dragons Life
We are less than two weeks away from Game of Thrones season 8 premiere. In the run-up to the first episode of the series last season, HBO has been giving us a ton of behind-the-scenes looks. We’ve learned how the stunt crew safely sets people on fire. We’ve watched the prosthetics team turn actors into White Walkers. We revisited one of the series most seminal moments with director Alan Taylor,
Game of Thrones: The Last Watch Documentary Focuses on Final Season
Yesterday we revisited the scene that put Game of Thrones on the map. Ned Stark (Sean Bean)’s death was the moment that HBO’s eventual globe-trotting, world-conquering series grabbed national attention. Here was a series that killed off its main character, and not even in the season one finale! Now after 8 glorious, gory seasons, Game of Thrones is coming to an end. Yet HBO has revealed that we’ll only need to wait a single week until we can revisit Westeros.
Game of Thrones‘ Director Alan Taylor Breaks Down Series’ Most Infamous Death
The final season of Game of Thrones is nearly upon us, so what better time to revisit the scene that, more so than any other, put the series on the map. We’re talking about the execution of Ned Stark (Sean Bean) in season one. And who better to take us on a trip down dark memory lane than that episode’s director, Alan Taylor? Taylor breaks down the moment in this “Notes on a Scene”
Here’s how They Filmed Jon Snow Getting Trampled in Game of Thrones
HBO has been highlighting the work of all the creatives who make Game of Thrones possible. They’ve given us a glimpse at how the prosthetics team creates White Walkers, wights and the mortally wounded. They’ve revealed how the stunt department handles the insane number of pyrotechnics the series demands. (This is what happens when you’ve got three dragons.) Now HBO takes you inside the lens, so to speak.
Esmé Creed-Miles on Becoming Hanna in Amazon’s new Series
When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, in his Hollywood novel The Last Tycoon, that “there are no second acts in American lives,” he either hadn’t considered international lives. Nor had he considered the advent of streaming television.
Thus Amazon brings us Hanna, a reboot, reconsideration, and expansion of 2011’s feature film of the same name. British actress Esmé Creed-Miles plays the 15-year-old titular character. Hanna is raised in feral isolation in the forests of Eastern Europe,
Game of Thrones Star Emilia Clarke Reveals her Incredible Health Battle
Emilia Clarke has played the resilient Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones for 8 seasons. She’s powerful, confident, and the most influential character on the series. She’s a leader. She inspires fear, loyalty, and most often, awe. As it turns out, Clarke is even more indomitable in real life than the Mother of Dragons.
We warn you, the details from Clarke’s trauma may be upsetting.
The actress revealed in a deeply personal essay in The New Yorker yesterday that she endured a life-threatening health scare just as she was gaining international fame.
Taika Waititi Voicing Classic Droid Character in The Mandalorian
Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi’s involvement in the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian just got even more interesting. The super talented director—and actor—is not only helming the season finale of the new series, but he’s also got a potentially juicy role. We already knew that Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian would have an original Star Wars feel. Now we know that Waititi may be voicing a character that first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back.
A Surprising Game of Thrones Character Gets Their Own Iron Throne Poster
We’ve seen the Iron Throne a thousand times. The spiky, elaborate, metal position of power has become so ingrained in our brains, I couldn’t spot the difference here at first. A new Game of Thrones poster shows a new angle of the most famous chair in Westeros – or does it?
A slew of posters released last month envisioned every single remaining main character ending up as the ruler of all.
18 Reasons to Watch Netflix’s Sensational Love, Death, & Robots
To say that Love, Death & Robots isn’t like anything else on TV wouldn’t be entirely accurate. There’s simply nothing quite like it on TV. It manages to be many things at once; a series of gorgeously and variously animated shorts that range from comedy to horror to sci-fi to fantasy. It has, in my mind, one of the goriest episodes of any show not named Game of Thrones (the legitimately unsettling “Sonnie’s Edge”).
A Freaky New Monster Plagues Hawkins in Stranger Things 3 Trailer
Summer is the most magical time in a kid’s life. No school, warm days, and endless adventures. Those adventures are just a little more bizarre in the Upside Down. The Stranger Things gang is trying to navigate changing relationships and growing up while still battling sci-fi creatures from beyond in a new trailer.
A look at season 3 of the nostalgia trip is 80s to the max and filled with fun,
