Castle Rock Drops First Official Trailer & Reveals a New King of Stephen King Adaptation
Stephen King fans, you’ve got something special coming to you this summer. Hulu dropped the official trailer for Castle Rock, which will premiere on the streaming service on July 25, 2018. The show will be bringing in characters, themes and storylines from some of King’s most beloved stories, creating an original, epic new narrative set in—you guessed it—Maine. Castle Rock is a fictional town in King’s home state that has been the locus of the terrifying and the supernatural for years.
Dolores Peels Back More Westworld Mysteries with Memories of Arnold
Season 1 of Westworld kept us wondering if the maze isn’t for the guests, who is it for? William saw the maze symbol and interpreted it as a key to unlocking the park like hidden code in a video game. Reach the end and uncover the true meaning of Westworld. What we came to know, however, is that the maze was Arnold’s (Jeffrey Wright) plan to bring the hosts to a heightened state of sentience.
Striking a Balance of Cruelty and Whimsy for the Score of A Series of Unfortunate Events
Child marriage, infant abuse, insatiable greed, and murder plots do not seem like the makings of a family program. And yet, Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events achieves just that by channeling the highly stylized essence of Daniel Handler’s classic thirteen book series for young adults. Now in season 2, the plots have grown wackier and darker. The show is reliant on composer Jim Dooley to maintain levity. Dooley can attest to the music’s influence,
Dawn Porter on her Netflix Docuseries Bobby Kennedy for President
It’s been 50 years since the turbulence of 1968 changed this nation forever. From the escalating Vietnam War to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to the riots outside the Democratic convention, that year was one of the most difficult our nation has ever faced, and that serves as measuring stick anytime a particular year in America feels especially fraught. Last year was one such year. So was 2016. The same could said of 2018.
Watch as the Stranger Things Cast Gather to Officially Begin Production on Season 3
It’s happening. Stranger Things season 3 officially began production on April 20, and Netflix has gifted fans with a video of what looks to be the cast arriving and setting up for the first table read—you can practically feel the collective excitement as they all walk towards the room and take their seats.
The video features both old and new faces as staff sets up the name plates. Those include our favorite band of heroes—Millie Bobby Brown,
Kevin Costner Defends His Family Ranch at All Costs in Yellowstone Trailer
Following in Waco’s footsteps of pivoting from hyper-adrenaline Spike TV into drama centric Paramount Network, the first trailer for Yellowstone has arrived. Kevin Costner leads the family drama set on the largest ranch in the U.S. There is a ton packed into the two-minute preview of season 1. If this show is any indication, the wild wild west is alive and well.
Costner stars as patriarch John Dutton who is the owner of a particularly desirable piece of land and has no plans to give it up.
New Luke Cage Season 2 Clip Shows Off Super Strength, Speed, and Long Jumping Ability?
You know Luke Cage (Mike Colter) is tough. You know he’s got super strength. You know he’s got unbreakable skin. But did you know he’s also faster than Usain Bolt (his 40-yard dash time is 3.72)? And can beat the world record for the long jump by eleven feet? With these kind of all-around skills, Luke better be careful—he could be getting a call from the Avengers sometime soon. Or,
Cult or Cultural Utopia? The Directors of Wild Wild Country Let Viewers Decide
You would be forgiven for having difficulty placing the term ‘Rajneeshpuram.’ The violent clash between the followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and the residents of Antelope Oregon in the mid-1980s seems like the makings of a famous event, but it has somehow faded from cultural memory. Directors Chapman and Maclain Way admitted the incident did not ring a bell to them either when they began their research for breakout Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country.
Amy Adams Investigates Chilling Secrets of the Past and Present in Sharp Objects
We have had four years to recover from the twisted psychological torture of Gone Girl, so it is time to subject ourselves to the next onscreen adaptation of a Gillian Flynn novel. Amy Adams stars in Sharp Objects, which runs as deep and jagged as Gone Girl into the psychosis of the human mind. The first trailer for the HBO miniseries is beautifully haunting and appropriately creepy with the added element of a group of young girls who seem…off.
The Handmaid’s Tale’s Samira Wiley Talks Religion, Love, and Season 2
Fresh from their Peabody Award win, The Handmaid’s Tale returns for a highly anticipated 2nd season. Season 1, which was filmed before Donald Trump was elected, became more than just a cautionary tale after his campaign and first year in office. Though sometimes difficult to watch, it represents some of the best writing and acting on the small screen. It also affirms just how successful and multi-layered a show with a strong female presence,
Watch how They Created The Fantastically Creepy Drone Hosts in Westworld
During last night’s bloody, delightfully creepy season two premiere of Westworld, perhaps no new characters made quite as big an impact as the drone hosts. We first encounter on of these faceless, skinless robots coming up behind Bernard (Jeffrey Wright)—utterly silently. Co-creator Jonathan Nolan explains their creation in this great new behind-the-scenes featurette, explaining that the drone hosts offer viewers—and sentient hosts like Bernard—an opportunity to see what the hosts true nature, once you strip all of the deceptively realistic flesh and blood away.
John Mulaney Hosts One of the Sharpest Saturday Night Live Episodes of the Season
There were a lot of surprises out of Saturday Night Live this weekend, but how brilliant John Mulaney’s performed wasn’t one of them. The razor sharp former SNL writer flawlessly executed his hosting debut. Mulaney has been the driving wit of so many spectacular project, as well as his own stand-up career, so we’re thrilled to see him gaining more widespread exposure.
Mulaney’s monologue was gut-busting and we wanted it to go on for two hours.
The Good Wife Costume Designer Dan Lawson Brings his Skill to New Detective Series Instinct
Dan Lawson certainly possesses the gift of garb. The established costume designer is an Emmy nominee for his work on CBS’s The Good Wife, and now brings his winning style to that show’s spinoff The Good Fight. He also is a recipient of the Theater Development Fund’s Irene Sharaff Young Master Award for excellence in costume design — the first to be honored for television.
Because wardrobe is so essential to character and story,
Westworld Reviews Tease a Grittier, Bolder and Bloodier Season
Following the stunt that Westworld creators pulled this past week supposedly revealing “spoilers” for season 2, the real reviews are in from the lucky critics who have actually been able to watch a few episodes of the new season. If you thought season 1 was wild, hold on to your cowboy hats. Reviews are in and we’ll keep this as spoiler free as possible.
According to recent reviews its looks like this season is even bolder and bloodier than the first.
Westworld Creators Reveal All of Season 2 Spoilers in new Video
If ever there was a recent series that revealed fans in all their obsessive, undeniably clever sleuthing, it was the first season of Westworld. The first season of HBO’s brilliant sci-fi western, created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, played out along (spoiler alert, for Pete’s sake) multiple timelines, and for the average fan the show was consistently surprising and often mind blowing. Yet for the super fan (or the super sleuth), Westworld presented an irresistible puzzle that many ended up solving well before the epic finale.
Jessica Jones Costume Designer on Losing the Cape in Favor of Leather & Denim
Krysten Ritter wears jeans for every scene she plays as the star of Netflix series Jessica Jones. Technically a super-hero capable of jumping off skyscrapers and landing on the sidewalk without a scratch, the hard-drinking private eye from Hell’s Kitchen has no patience for the tights/cape/mask routine. Instead, Ritter’s character is dressed by costume designer Elisabeth Vastola in boots, jeans and motorcycle jackets that owe more to Marlon Brando’s iconic Wild One rebel couture than cartoony costumes.
Our Favorite Moments from Chadwick Boseman’s Saturday Night Live Debut
If you don’t want your crush on Chadwick Boseman to turn into a full-fledged obsession, it would be best to avoid his Saturday Night Live performance. The Avengers: Infinity War star looked impeccable in the opening monologue and nailed his jokes, which can be difficult for newbies. Boseman slipped in a savage dig at the White House, and got one of the biggest audience reactions of the season, and ended with some smooth moves inspired by his previous performance as James Brown in Get on Up.
Game of Thrones Just Filmed the Largest, Longest Battle Sequence in TV History
Game of Thrones is not the type of series to rest on its laurels. It has already made history, a few times over, during its run. Whether its making ratings history or creating the largest pyrotechnic stunt ever, GoT is always game to take it to the next level. The epic series is currently in production for its eighth and final season, and word is, they just completed filming the largest,
Lord of the Rings is Coming to the Small Screen in Smaug-Sized Deal With Amazon
Lord of The Rings is easily one of films largest and most beloved film franchises, and that’s not even touching the surface of how much love we have for the books. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the franchise or its return to the big screen, but the eye of Sauron is now fixed on the small screen—Lord of the Rings is coming to Amazon.
The company beat out Netflix for the rights to the film earlier this month,
