Tick, Tick…BOOM! Early Buzz Has Overwhelming Love For Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Jonathan Larson Tribute Imagine Entertainment By Anya Stanley/Nov. 11, 2021 8:29 pm EST When “Tick, Tick…BOOM!” was announced, everyone and their mother had an opinion about Lin-Manuel Miranda’s tribute to “Rent” creator Jonathan Larson. I didn’t; I am an outside observer who was friends with the theater kids but wasn’t one herself. If you heard me sing or watched me dance, you’d know I’m better off in the audience, anyway....

‘Nobody’ Star Bob Odenkirk Would Make More Action Movies In A Heartbeat [Interview] By Jack Giroux/March 26, 2021 11:00 am EST Bob Odenkirk plays a familiar but new action hero in Nobody. “Hero” might even be a stretch for the family man who goes back to his old violent ways, but Odenkirk grounds and livens up the archetypal hero. We see a man who’s not the biggest guy in the room dealing with exhaustion and pain....

“Everyone had a different setup when the pandemic started.” Caroline Cao How did you land your roles? Ryan Colt Levy: It was a few months ago. I read for season 5, actually, for a few characters. I was very excited to get the opportunity because I had never gotten the chance before. And basically it was like radio silence for about five months. I was secretly holding on that I would book one of those characters....

By Joshua Meyer/Aug. 12, 2021 4:20 pm EST Another factor was that the country has a very strict pandemic lockdown policy. Insiders credit the policy with helping keep the production safe during unprecedented times, but it’s also resulted in certain logistical challenges – especially given that roughly half the cast is from the U.K. For instance, any time a member of the cast or crew left the country they would have to quarantine for 14 days upon returning to New Zealand and there were limits as to how many people could come and go to the production at any given time....

Eternals Screenwriters Had Planned One Of Those Post-Credits Cameos From The Beginning [Exclusive] Marvel By Danielle Ryan/Nov. 18, 2021 3:01 pm EST The two big “Eternals” credits scene cameos might have surprised fans, but they weren’t all that shocking to screenwriters Ryan Firpo and Kaz Firpo, who had planned on including at least one of them since the very beginning. In an interview with /Film’s Jacob Hall (full interview coming later), the screenwriting duo shared the history behind those mid-and-post credits sequences, and revealed that they came up with nearly a “half dozen” possible credits sequences before narrowing them down to the final two....

An Indie Stuck in a Blockbuster Shell Sony Pictures During the promotion of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” Jason Reitman has frequently recalled the inception of his call to the “Ghostbusters” franchise. Surprisingly, it wasn’t a studio mandate or a big paycheck that summoned him to finally follow in the footsteps of his father. Instead, he had the vision of a young girl wearing a proton pack in the middle of a cornfield, and that’s when he decided to stop running from his father’s blockbuster legacy....

A Lusty, Drunken Party Animal 20th Century Studios As played by Affleck, the Count is a lusty, drunken party-animal; a medieval bro in a golden robe who is always up for a fun-filled night of reading bawdy poetry (that’s what they did back then). He’s also fond of orgies (that’s what they did back then, and also now), and there are multiple scenes where the Count advises Driver’s character to take off his pants and join the fun (and Driver does, so if you ever wanted to see a movie that implies Adam Driver and Ben Affleck got in on some orgy action together, the time is now)....

Jurassic World Dominion Release Date and Where You Can Watch It John Wilson/Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment Jurassic World: Dominion is set to stomp into theaters on June 10, 2022. Universal struck a deal with AMC last year for a minimum 17-day exclusive theatrical window, which means they could technically release it on PVOD after that window has elapsed. But with a movie that has this much potential to rake in significant box office dollars, it’s almost a mathematical certainty that the studio will keep this exclusively in theaters for as long as it can....

Believe It or Not, Not Everyone Has Netflix Netflix In the current age, it is more surprising than not when someone admits they aren’t subscribed to Netflix. There’s a multitude of reasons why someone might not be a subscriber, but the biggest one is due to access. People all around the globe, and America in particular, experience something called the digital divide, which refers to the growing gap between marginalized members of society (especially the poor, rural, elderly, and handicapped) who do not have access to computers or the internet compared to those that do....
