Blade Runner 2049‘s Makeup Designer on the Secrets Hiding in Plain Sight

Revisiting the world of Blade Runner decades after the original movie drove the filmmakers to look 30 years farther into the future of Rick Deckard’s (Harrison Ford) world. The world of Blade Runner: 2049 is one of incredible technology and a completely ravaged environment, where massive holograms lope around a lurid Los Angeles slicked with acid rain and ashy snow.

Writer/Director Dan Gilroy on Bringing Roman J. Israel, Esq. to Life

Writer/director Dan Gilroy “can’t conceive of directing a movie I didn’t write.” Although Gilroy has written a number of scripts for other directors  —  from 2012’s The Bourne Legacy to 2017’s Kong: Skull Island  —  he says that the ones he chooses to direct himself tend to be more personal.

Talking to Director Bharat Nalluri About The Man Who Invented Christmas

Director Bharat Nalluri says that in a very personal way, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol taught him the meaning of Christmas. His new film, The Man Who Invented Christmas, is the story of the six weeks Dickens, under enormous professional, financial, and family pressure, wrote and published the book, which sold out its entire printing within a week after publication. Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Beauty and the Beast) plays the author and Christopher Plummer plays the Scrooge he imagines as he creates the story.

Here’s Your First Look at Benicio del Toro’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi Character

Benicio del Toro’s mysterious Star Wars: The Last Jedi character DJ (this might not even be his actual name in the film) has been of major interest to fans, thanks in no small part to del Toro’s long, incredible career.

He’s a scene stealer,

Batman, Wonder Woman and the Flash may Join Forces Once Again in Flashpoint

Fresh off of Justice League’s theatrical release last night, DC Comics is already in talks for the Flash to, once again, zoom onto the big screen in an epic solo film, Flashpoint. At first, I couldn’t think of anything more thrilling than seeing the Justice League members all on the same screen: Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg (and, ahem, a certain someone from Krypton) joining forces seemed to be as good as it could get.
