“Mountainhead” Trailer Reveals “Succession” Creator Jesse Armstrong’s Film Debut

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong is back with this new feature film, which finds four billionaire friends reuniting in a palatial mountain retreat to kick back and enjoy the orchards (upon orchards) of their “labor.”
How Co-Creator & Showrunner Aeysha Carr Transformed “Government Cheese” into a Series of Indie Film Experiences
If Wes Anderson and David Lynch partnered on a story set in 1969 about a Black family living in the San Fernando Valley, you might approximate the vibe of the new Apple TV+ show Government Cheese. The surrealist comedy is inspired by co-creator Paul Hunter’s childhood, and stars David Oyelowo as eternal optimist Hampton Chambers, a man chasing the American dream after being released from prison.
Hampton aims to repair the relationship with his wife Astoria (Simone Missick),
From Shadow to Spotlight: How Elizabeth Dulau’s Kleya Became the Hidden Heartbeat of “Andor”
Tony Gilroy‘s masterful Andor has come to an end. The two-season prequel to Gilroy’s 2016 film Rogue One just delivered arguably the finest storytelling in the Star Wars universe since The Empire Strikes Back. That’s a bold and possibly needless assertion, but if you watched the series (and if you’re reading this, you likely did), my guess is you’d agree. While season one fleshed out Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) fitful,

From Wakanda to Chicago: “Ironheart” Trailer Unveils Riri Williams’ High-Stakes Journey in Marvel’s Latest
We first met Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) on screen in Ryan Coogler‘s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Riri is a genius student inventor who the Wakandans tapped in a significant time of need—they’d just lost their Black Panther (the late, great Chadwick Boseman) and were facing a seriously uncertain future thanks to threats from Namor (Tenoch Huerta) and his vast army of ocean-dwelling Atlanteans. Thanks in part to Riri’s Tony Stark-level technical prowess,
Director Alex Graves on Keri Russell’s Balletic Excellence in Netflix’s Hit Series “The Diplomat”
Keri Russell plays blunt but brilliant U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler in The Diplomat. She’s often anything but diplomatic in the taut political thriller, loath to dress in fancy clothes or brush her hair, but Kate exhibits invaluable tenacity as she tracks down the perpetrators of a horrendous ship explosion and car bomb attack. The Emmy-nominated Netflix series, which aired its second season last fall, co-stars Rufus Sewell as Kate’s ambitious husband Hal,

Precision and Passion: How Director Amanda Marsalis Choreographed the Chaos of “The Pitt”

End Game: “Squid Game” Season 3 Trailer Teases Final Reckoning
The official teaser trailer for Squid Game‘s third and final season has arrived, bringing the games to a close with what promises to be the most sadistic season yet. But don’t take our word for it, this was confirmed for us by both the series’ star, Lee Jung-jae, and creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, when we interviewed both of them last month.
Seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back,
SXSW 2025: Dan Farah’s “The Age of Disclosure” Stuns Crowd With Shocking Alien Doc
Festival crowds are notoriously exuberant—it can be hard to get a real read on a film’s potential for broader success or acclaim even if the first time it plays for a crowd at a film festival results in cheers and guffaws. Yet sometimes, for some films, a festival crowd’s excitement is as precise an indicator for a film’s impact as you need. This was the case here in Austin this past Sunday, when director Dan Farah showcased his doc The Age of Disclosure for the first time ever to a crowd.
Not Playing Games: “Squid Game” Star Lee Jung-jae on Gi-hun’s Transformation in Final Seasons

“The White Lotus” Episode 6: It’s a Family Affair
After the last episode in season 3 of Mike White‘s The White Lotus, when Sam Rockwell parachuted into the storyline and delivered one of television’s most unexpected monologues in perhaps the medium’s history (a stretch? if so, not by much), episode 6 had a lot of narrative momentum. White’s cosseted guests this year, whether their troubles are of a dangerously anguished variety (looking at you, Walton Goggins’
Following “Ballerina,” a Fifth “John Wick” Movie Has Been Confirmed
John Wick will never die.
And by “John Wick,” we might not necessarily be referring to the man himself, as played by Keanu Reeves in the first four films. By all accounts, Reeves’ nearly indestructible assassin died a noble death at the end of the last installment, John Wick: Chapter 4. We knew we’d be given another glimpse at the man in the upcoming spinoff, Ballerina, which stars Ana de Armas as Eva Macarro as she begins training as an assassin in the traditions of the Ruska Roma.
No Cuts, Pure Tension: “Adolescence” Director Philip Barantini on Crafting Netflix Thriller in Unbroken Single Takes
British actor Stephen Graham is so reliably intense he played Al Capone for Martin Scorsese in Boardwalk Empire, stared down Al Pacino in The Irishman, executive producer and co-starred in the bare knuckle boxing drama A Thousand Blows, and earned the prestigious Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) award for his contributions to UK television.

Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves’ John Wick Spar in Lethal New “Ballerina” Trailer
Eva Macarro, meet John Wick.
Ana de Armas has entered the John Wick universe, so it’s fitting her character, Eva Macarro, faces off against the man himself. At the 1:45 mark in this new trailer, Eva and John have a snowy encounter in which neither are backing down. The reason Wick is alive here despite having met his fate in John Wick: Chapter 4 is because Ballerina is set during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
“Thunderbolts”: Marvel’s Wild Card Mixes Antiheroes and Indie Talent From A24 & More

Blues, Blood, & Big Formats: How DP Autumn Durald Arkapaw Brought “Sinners” to Epic, IMAX-Sized Life
Yes, there are vampires, but Sinners also excels as a period piece, a history lesson, a romance, a drama, an action movie, and a music-driven drama in ways that have made director Ryan Coogler‘s fifth movie the top-grossing original film of the decade. Based on his own script about gangster twins Smoke and Stack (played by Michael B. Jordan) who return to their Mississippi roots with a bag of ill-gotten cash and a plan to start their own juke joint in the middle of the woods,

From Barbie to Blasters: What to Know About Ryan Gosling’s Standalone “Star Wars” Film
Ryan Gosling is going from the world of Barbie and Ken to Leia and Kenobi.
With the Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo delivering a galaxy’s worth of news, including a new series from Lost co-creator Carlton Cuse and his son, Nick, a veteran of Watchmen and Station Eleven, it would require an interdiction beam (look it up, Star Wars nubes) to pull all the information together.

Rocking “The White Lotus”: Behind the Series’ Most Surprising Cameo Ever

Unveiled: Paul Thomas Anderson’s Enigmatic Leonardo DiCaprio Film Lands Official Title & Date
We finally have some clarity—a keyhole’s worth—about Paul Thomas Anderson’s mysterious new film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Warner Bros. announced on Wednesday that Anderson’s film has gotten a slight bump in its release schedule from August 8 to September 26.

This would make sense for an Anderson film, given how singular and lauded the auteur’s work is, from his most recent release,

Marvel’s Misfits Hit Big: Florence Pugh-Led “Thunderbolts*” Strikes a Chord With Critics
The reviews for Thunderbolts* are hitting the internet like so many lightning strikes, and Marvel Studios is very much liking the weather report.

Writer/director Ryan Coogler has officially gone five for five.

How Co-Creator & Showrunner Aeysha Carr Transformed “Government Cheese” into a Series of Indie Film Experiences

Tony Gilroy‘s masterful Andor has come to an end. The two-season prequel to Gilroy’s 2016 film Rogue One just delivered arguably the finest storytelling in the Star Wars universe since The Empire Strikes Back.

While season one fleshed out Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) fitful,

Thanks in part to Riri’s Tony Stark-level technical prowess,

Lost in the Labyrinth: Production Designer Jeremy Hindle on Deepening the Designs in “Severance” Season Two
Season two of Severance managed to do the impossible—it justified the historic wait that fans had endured. It delivered a deeply satisfying mind-bender that answered plenty of season one’s pressing questions while leaving more than enough mystery for season three. In the frighteningly real sci-fi show created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller, the scale of drama, conspiracy, and fear spreads across a range of new environments, much like a disease manufactured by Lumon Industries.

Here comes your spoiler alert warning—the savagery proved especially true when antihero Joel (Pedro Pascal) was brutally clubbed to death by vengeful Firefly, Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).

Producer John Wells and creator R. Scott Gemmill took a big swing with The Pitt and hit a home run that would have cleared the 410-foot deep left-center field wall of Pittsburgh’s PNC Park. The riveting series, which has garnered the kind of collective enthusiasm we usually associate with dark comedies set at fancy resorts, is powered by gruesome surgical procedures, arcane medical terminology, and volatile personalities.

Mysterious “Star Wars” Series in The Works From “Lost” Showrunner Carlton Cuse
Well before Game of Thrones became the kind of appointment television event that captured the world’s interest and had millions of people tuning in simultaneously, Carlton Cuse’s Lost established the blueprint for serialized TV obsession. When Lost premiered in 2004, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse’s massively ambitious series was evident from the movie-like production values, sprawling cast, and evident chutzpah in telling a story that looked and felt big enough for the big screen.
From Saddles to Switchboards: Sound Maestro George Haddad Crafts the Symphony of “1923”

How Co-Creator & Showrunner Aeysha Carr Transformed “Government Cheese” into a Series of Indie Film Experiences
If Wes Anderson and David Lynch partnered on a story set in 1969 about a Black family living in the San Fernando Valley, you might approximate the vibe of the new Apple TV+ show Government Cheese.

Devil Went Down to Georgia: How Erik Oleson Crafted Kevin Bacon’s Undead Demon Hunter in “The Bondsman”
