Three seasons later, viewers have become accustomed to his chaotic spirals: his mommy issues and murderous impulses are always on full display....

‘Frogger’ Competition Series Based On The Classic Video Game Lands At Peacock By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 23, 2021 1:00 pm EST Peacock is perhaps a hop, skip, and a jump away from becoming a major player in the streaming wars. Maybe all the NBCUniversal streaming platform needs is a competition series based on the beloved 1980s video game Frogger. Because why not. Peacock has given a series order to Frogger, “a larger-than-life physical competition series based on the iconic 1980’s video game” that will pit contestants against 12 physically demanding obstacle courses for 13 episodes....

The Simpsons Movie Honest Trailer reminds us about all the plot points in the movie that we’ve seen in episodes of The Simpsons, but ultimately admits that it doesn’t stop anyone from wanting to see a sequel....
‘True Believer’ Author Abraham Riesman Dissects The Complicated Legacy Of Stan Lee [Interview] By Jacob Hall/March 12, 2021 8:00 am EST The legacy of Marvel Comics maestro Stan Lee has been muddy for decades. Even as the supposed mastermind behind the early days of Spider-Man, Thor, and the Fantastic Four evolved into a beloved international icon with cameos in every Marvel film, controversy nipped at his heels. At the heart of it all: the constant rumblings that he didn’t actually co-create his most famous characters, and that he went out of his way to bury the talented artists who worked alongside him....

Black Adam Producer Says Making The Character A Monster Is The Best Way To Honor Him Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 8, 2021 4:48 pm EST Dwayne Johnson has spent no less than the last decade and a half hyping up his impending “Black Adam” role as the most hard-edged antihero ever unleashed on unsuspecting audiences. But just in case that wasn’t enough, this year’s DC FanDome first look made sure to mix in a blend of animated concept art with live-action footage to show off just how seriously (and violently) the studio will be treating this immensely powerful character....
Casting Bits: Robert De Niro Joins ‘Buried’ Director Rodrigo Cortes’ ‘Red Lights’; Mark Wahlberg Considering Lead In Seth MacFarlane’s ‘Teddy Bear’ By Adam Quigley/Oct. 14, 2010 5:00 pm EST Buried proved to be a fascinating filmmaking exercise for Rodrigo Cortés, with the first-time English feature director (pictured above right) impressively overcoming the limitations inherent in the premise through sheer stylistic virtuosity. If that’s what he can achieve with just a box, I can’t wait to see what he can do with a film like Red Lights, his psychological thriller that previously cast Sigourney Weaver as “a para-psychologist who attempts to debunk a very reputable psychic who has just returned to the limelight after 30 years....
Dave Bautista Says ‘Knives Out 2’ Is Even “Better” Than The First One By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 4, 2021 9:34 am EST Call it the Knives Out Effect. In the wake of the breakout success of the Rian Johnson-directed original film, this notoriously copycat film industry has suddenly greenlit murder-mysteries galore and we’re totally here for it. But that also includes Johnson’s own Knives Out sequel (which will not be called Knives Out 2 because that was an extremely story-specific title and makes no sense for another movie entirely, this has been my TED Talk), which features its own ensemble of heavy-hitters....

Every Main Character In Willow, Ranked Worst To Best 20th Century Fox/Disney By Dalin Rowell/Dec. 7, 2021 12:00 pm EST Filled with tons of ’80s fantasy goodness, Ron Howard’s “Willow” is something of a hidden gem within the director’s filmography. Over the years, viewers have come to love this George Lucas-produced underdog adventure, which follows Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) as he tries to help baby Elora Danan achieve her destiny of conquering the evil Queen Bavmorda....
Freddie Prinze Jr. Says Toxic ‘Star Wars’ Fans Don’t Understand The Force: “You’re Just Mad The Franchise Isn’t Aging With You” By Ben Pearson/Oct. 14, 2019 1:30 pm EST ’90s heartthrob and Star Wars Rebels voice actor Freddie Prinze Jr. has heard the complaints about the franchise from certain corners of the fandom, and he’s sick of them. On a podcast appearance from earlier this year that’s now making the rounds online, Prinze absolutely goes off on toxic Star Wars fans, dropping knowledge about the saga he learned directly from Dave Filoni, the protege George Lucas protege and Rebels creator himself....
Here’s The 2020 “Black List” Of The Year’s Best Unproduced Screenplays By Jacob Hall/Dec. 14, 2020 12:00 pm EST The 2020 Black List is no different. There is a lot of imagination on this list of unmade scripts. Some ideas sound ready to become movies right now. Others are so bizarre that they demand a double take. Some even make you c**k an eyebrow and question the taste of the more than 375 film executives who were polled to create this list....
Here’s When You Can Watch The French Dispatch At Home Searchlight Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 11, 2021 3:21 pm EST Choose your fighter, people, because you have your pick of two upper-echelon filmmakers currently duking it out. In one ring, there’s Quentin Tarantino sticking up for movie theaters and espousing the unparalleled pleasures of watching movies the way they were ostensibly meant to be seen — on the big screen. Of course, it’s not just Tarantino saying that....
Interview: Director Danny Boyle Talks About The Making Of ‘Steve Jobs’ By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 15, 2015 7:00 am EST Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs is my favorite movie of the year so far. I love so much about this film. I love how it’s a biopic without being a biopic. I love how it captures the truth and essence of a person, but probably 90% of the events and conversations in the movie never happened (or at very least, not at a keynote)....
