Chippendales Movie Adds Seth Rogen And Elle Fanning Alongside Dev Patel Def Jam By Anya Stanley/Dec. 10, 2021 3:31 pm EST Get your singles out, the Chippendales movie is getting into a groove. The new feature from Regency, Bold Films, and Permut Productions will be directed by Craig Gillespie centers on the amazing story of the male exotic dance troupe, and now Seth Rogen and Elle Fanning are in negotiations to join the enterprise, bringing the former and Gillespie together for the first time since the “Pam and Tommy” Hulu series (about THAT tape, you know the one) that arrives next month....

Dear Evan Hansen Review: A Misguided Adaptation Of A Messy Musical Universal Pictures By Josh Spiegel/Sept. 22, 2021 12:08 pm EST The most appropriate word to describe “Dear Evan Hansen,” the film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name, is “misguided.” On paper, it would seem as though “Dear Evan Hansen” knocks off all the right boxes on the checklist. For an adaptation of a Tony-winning musical, it’s got an impressive cast and crew, including the director of the well-liked teen drama “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” A-list performers like Amy Adams and Julianne Moore, and even the award-winning actor who originated the title character....

Dexter: New Blood Trailer: A Monster Evolves Showtime By Ben Pearson/Sept. 9, 2021 2:27 pm EST Dexter Morgan might very well still be a monster, but he’s an evolving monster. After a laughably bad finale that was supposed to wrap up Showtime’s “Dexter” left a bad taste in audiences’ mouths, the show is coming back for a ten episode event series that picks up a decade after the events of the season eight finale....

Every Mel Brooks Movie Ranked From Worst To Best MGM By Jeremy Herbert/Nov. 5, 2021 4:44 pm EST The laugh that turned Melvin Kaminsky into Mel Brooks was, as the filmmaker would later tell Conan O’Brien, “a giant mistake.” At age 14, the stagehand and de facto understudy found himself hastily recruited to play a 70-something district attorney. In the middle of his terrified performance, Kaminsky dropped a glass of water....

F Is For Family Season 5: Release Date, Cast, And More Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 21, 2021 3:28 pm EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) There’s currently no shortage of adult animated shows on the air right now, to the extent that it can be overwhelming to try and zero in on any particular series to devote your time to....

“It’s tricky doing a middle chapter of a trilogy…” Universal Pictures The last “Halloween” was more old school suspense, but this plays as the more rock and roll sequel. What made you want to go more nuts with the sequel? With the first film, it was to be very, very specific of the integrity of these characters, and the legacy of John Carpenter. And here, I felt like since we found our success with the first film, we got the audience’s trust, for the most part....

I Know What You Did Last Summer Trailer: The Slasher Classic Becomes A TV Series By Shania Russell/Sept. 23, 2021 12:38 pm EST I Know What You Did Last Summer Trailer Based on the trailer, tension isn’t just reserved for the literal killer on the loose; our crew of friends have plenty to deal with all on their own. The weight of the supposed murder is certainly weighing on them, but there’s anger going around for other reasons too....

Edgar Wright’s Soho Nights Wright’s “60 from the 60s” playlist delivers the goods, both in mainstream fare and some tracks hidden in the back of the record crates. The first track, “Berts Apple Crumble,” is The Quik’s infectious instrumental 1967 dance number, a fantastic b-side from a band that almost but never quite broke through to success. Following The Quik’s mood-setting opener are ’60s chart-toppers The Yardbirds, The Troggs, and The Kinks to please every crowd, but one of the more interesting tracks included is the song “Hold Tight,” by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich....

Licorice Pizza Trailer This time, it’s been four years since Anderson’s last feature film, “Phantom Thread,” which racked up six Oscar nominations and won for Best Costume Design (only too fitting for a film about a dressmaker named Woodcock). “Licorice Pizza” originally went by the working title of “Soggy Bottom,” which sounds like a reference to the Soggy Bottom Boys, the fictional band led by George Clooney in “O Brother Where Art Thou?...

Heyman, the Storyteller Wrestling is an inter-textual medium. Currently, one of the best in-ring stories is unfolding between two former best friends, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa (on WWE’s developmental, streaming-only promotion, NXT), whose current matches harken back not only to dangerous set-pieces, but to subtle moments between the pair two years prior, like sitting down to reflect on their relationship in the middle of a match. Like any good long-term storytelling, echoes matter in wrestling....

Page 2: Breaking Bad, Bill Murray, Star Wars, Dumbo, Sherlock, Pacific Rim, He-Man By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 6, 2013 1:00 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

The 14 Best Star Wars Creatures Ranked Disney By Margaret David/Nov. 16, 2021 1:48 pm EST “Star Wars” just wouldn’t be “Star Wars” without the decades of world-building that went into creating that galaxy long ago and far, far away. A variety of planets, their people, and their environments create unique settings for the fantastical stories we grew up with. Life itself is a necessary ingredient for making a fictional world feel lived in, and the creatures of “Star Wars” are not only part of these intricate landscapes, but memorable in their own right....

The 20 Best ’60s Horror Movies Ranked Continental Distributing By David Court/Oct. 29, 2021 3:50 pm EST The ’60s was a time of great upheaval –- it was the supposed decade of peace and love but, was also the era of riots, the civil rights movement, and of seismic shifts both politically and culturally. The post-war optimism of World War II had begun to fade, and with that came a new cynicism –- counterculture was in the ascendance, and it was reflected in film tastes....

Using Computers to Make The Beatles Crystal Clear Disney+ “The Beatles: Get Back” is eight hours of carefully curated audio and footage from The Beatles in the studio and performing a rooftop concert in London in 1969. Jackson had to dig through 60 hours of vintage film footage and around 150 hours of audio recordings in order to put together his three-part documentary. Once he decided which footage and audio to include, then he had to take the next difficult step: cleaning up and restoring them both to give fans a look at The Beatles like they had never seen them before....

The Black Phone: Release Date, Cast, And More Blumhouse Productions By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 30, 2021 10:12 am EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)

This Week In Trailers: Faceless, My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To, Threshold, From Cradle To Stage, The Gig Is Up By Christopher Stipp/May 1, 2021 9:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...
