Kathryn Hahn Has Been Cast As Joan Rivers In Showtime’s The Comeback Girl By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 21, 2021 4:28 pm EST Comedy legend Joan Rivers lived a life that constantly defied expectations and traditions, resulting in her ceiling-smashing rise as a prominent and successful woman in a business that hardly seemed willing to give her time or space. In that light, it’s always been of the utmost importance that any fictionalized retelling of Rivers’ life would only be attempted with an actor who can similarly rise to the occasion and embody an icon who refused to be easily defined....

Mission: Impossible 7 Release Date and Where You Can Watch It Paramount Pictures “Mission: Impossible 7” is currently set to hit theaters on September 30, 2022. Barring the unforeseen, the movie will be getting an exclusive theatrical release. That window is only expected to be between 30 and 45 days. After which time, it will likely make its way to Paramount+, for those who prefer streaming as an option. What Is Mission: Impossible 7?...

Michael’s Legend (Official Audio) This is classic Carpenter here, once again lending his specific sound to the franchise he gave birth to over 40 years ago. What director David Gordon Green really recaptured in his 2018 “Halloween” was that off-kilter feeling that was given such vivid life through Carpenter’s stripped-down style in the first one. Sadly, since screening at Venice Film Festival “Halloween Kills” has been earning fairly sour reviews, but we remain hopeful that even if the final product isn’t quite as worthy as Green’s previous entry, it will still thrill and give us a great setup for the big finale, “Halloween Ends....

Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Book Is Getting A Hardcover Edition With New Cover Art Columbia Pictures By Anya Stanley/Sept. 14, 2021 9:28 pm EST After the release of his successful elegiac Tinseltown film “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,” Quentin Tarantino has kept himself busy hawking copies of its novelization, also penned by him. A whirlwind story of the end of an era, the book answers some questions and raises new-to-us scenes that, for one reason or another, didn’t make it into the final cut on the big screen....

Top Gun Paramount Pictures Considering how many doors “Top Gun” opened for Kilmer, it may be surprising to learn that Kilmer only accepted the role of “Iceman” Kazansky out of contractual obligations. But that was one of the big takeaways from “Val,” which contains behind-the-scenes footage from several of his productions. Perhaps, then, it is better to be lucky than good. Iceman is nowhere near Kilmer’s best role, but it is the one that oozes potential and future star power....

Why It’s Essential Viewing Universal Pictures The “Purge” franchise has been done to death, much like any horror franchise worth its salt. “Scream,” “Halloween,” “Nightmare on Elm Street.” They’ve all come back again and again like the villains whose stories they tell — sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Depending on who you ask, the “Purge” franchise did that as well, sometimes expanding on the world’s main concept in meaningful ways — in my opinion, the “Purge” TV show, which premiered in 2018, totally rules — and sometimes not so much....

The Reluctant Traveler: Eugene Levy To Host Apple TV+ Travel Show Pop TV By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 3, 2021 6:01 pm EST If you’re like me, the end of “Schitt’s Creek” has left a giant Eugene Levy-shaped hole in your heart, and you’ve been longing for a new show announcement to help fill the void. Luckily for us, Apple TV+ is coming to the rescue in the form of a new unscripted travel series called “The Reluctant Traveler” hosted by the remarkable Canadian comedy legend....

WTF: Harvey Weinstein Wants To Cut ‘The King’s Speech’ To Get PG-13 Rating, Bigger Audience By Russ Fischer/Jan. 26, 2011 12:30 pm EST Hey, remember when Harvey Weinstein was all incensed last year about the R-rating given to The King’s Speech? It was at the same time as he was campaigning to appeal the NC-17 given to Blue Valentine, so you might have missed the much more minor controversy about Tom Hooper’s film....

‘Nobody’ Director Ilya Naishuller On Shooting Clean Action And Avoiding Shaky Cam [Interview] By Jack Giroux/March 26, 2021 10:00 am EST Ilya Naishuller doesn’t let a second go to waste in Nobody. It’s a lean and mean R-rated action-comedy that begins and ends with a relentless pace while never forsaking character. Still, compared to Naishuller’s directorial debut, Hardcore Henry, his second feature is patient. The musician-filmmaker threw everything he had into the kitchen sink with his first (love-it-or-hate-it) action movie....

‘The Walking Dead’ Wasn’t Supposed To End At Season 11, According To Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan In September 2020, AMC surprised audiences who had expected The Walking Dead to shamble on forever by announcing that the zombie drama’s upcoming 11th season would be its final season.
