Harley Quinn Animated Series Artist Crosses The Aisle To Marvel Studios As Director Warner Bros. Television By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 27, 2021 4:19 pm EST Not to pat myself on the back over a very mundane opinion or anything, but I’ve been waiting for Marvel Studios to finally get it together and expand into the realm of animation with their collection of fan-favorite characters now that they’ve successfully crossed over into the mainstream with the MCU....

Hawkeye Directors Reveal A Key Kevin Feige Note: ‘More Christmas’ [Exclusive] Disney+ By Shania Russell/Dec. 9, 2021 2:27 pm EST The latest addition to Marvel’s growing collection of Disney+ series asks a question we never realized we needed answered: how do the Avengers celebrate Christmas? Turns out their holiday season is just as chaotic as the average person, except instead of rushing to get last-minute presents, Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) is sprinting to avoid the chokehold of enemies....

Only Murders In The Building Season 1 Ending Explained: The Podcasters Crack The Case Hulu By Shania Russell/Oct. 20, 2021 1:50 pm EST At long last, “Only Murders in the Building” has solved its central mystery. Our podcasting trio came together just in time to prevent more death, while just barely escaping with their lives. Not too long ago, the neighboring crime solvers were complete strangers — Charles (Steve Martin), a lonely, washed up TV star; Oliver (Martin Short), a hyperactive, struggling Broadway director; and Mabel (Selena Gomez), an artist still stuck in the past....

Paul Bettany’s Big Cameo Tease For The ‘WandaVision’ Finale Was Just A Huge Troll By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 4, 2021 10:30 am EST Early in the run of WandaVision, Paul Bettany teased the arrival of a top secret star with whom he’s “always wanted to work with.” And with that, he set the internet ablaze with theories. Is it Benedict Cumberbatch, to tie into the upcoming Marvel Studios film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?...

Ridley Scott Has Words About The Gucci Family Response To House Of Gucci: ‘You Should Be So F***ing Lucky’ MGM By Joshua Meyer/Dec. 1, 2021 10:17 am EST Director Ridley Scott continues to offer up the choicest sound bites with some real, well, bite to them. First, he blamed the race of “millennian” aliens for the recent box-office failure of his film, “The Last Duel.” Now, he’s targeting the Gucci family, who were not enamored of his portrayal of them in his latest movie, “House of Gucci....

The Real Twist Is That It’s Easy To Love M. Night Shyamalan’s Movies By Jeremy Mathai/July 22, 2021 10:00 am EST He’s responsible for at least one stone cold genre classic, though many would argue for more. He makes (almost) nothing but high-concept original stories, produced and financed in a blockbuster-obsessed landscape that’s increasingly indifferent to anything else. And finally, he happens to be one of the few brand-name filmmakers among general audiences who consistently puts butts in seats at a time when theater attendance, even pre-pandemic, has been flagging badly....

A Matter of Time ViacomCBS In 1991, when “Next Generation” was in its fifth season, the show’s writers wanted to include Robin Williams. Williams was always an outspoken Trekkie — he even made a reference to killing off Spock in an episode of “Mork & Mindy” — and the “Trek” writers were, in turn, big Robin Williams fans. Williams’ fast-talking, manic comedy wasn’t necessarily a good match for the normally staid, composed, mature tone of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” so the writers would have to create a new role — likely not a Starfleet officer — for Williams....

This Week In DVD & Blu-Ray: G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3, And More By Adam Quigley/Nov. 3, 2009 10:31 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Wearing its Saturday morning cartoon influences on its sleeve as proudly and prominently as the dunce cap on its head, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a goofy, cheesy, logic-defying exercise in silliness that thumbs its nose at physics and includes lines like “Deploy the sharks!...

This Week In Trailers: David Wants To Fly, Spaghetti Dinner Of The Damned, 8: The Mormon Proposition, 9500 Liberty By Christopher Stipp/May 9, 2010 9:36 pm EST A trailer like this wants to get you fired up, to strike an emotional nerve, have you react. It works and it does so by presenting an idea that ought to be so universally accepted, and was, then showing the opposing forces against that idea mounting a full scale campaign against it....

WandaVision Song Agatha All Along Just Won Marvel Studios Its First Emmy Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 13, 2021 3:58 pm EST It was Kathryn Hahn all along. That’s not me pointing fingers, but simply an acknowledgment of the fact that only the presence of the unparalleled Kathryn Hahn made “WandaVision” into Marvel’s first Emmy award-winning series. Okay, fine, that’s not strictly true. The Disney+ limited series also won for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour) as well as for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, before winning a third for Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics with “Agatha All Along....

‘America: The Motion Picture’ Director Matt Thompson On Balancing Outrageous Comedy And Wild Deleted Scenes [Interview] By Ethan Anderton/July 9, 2021 9:18 am EST America: The Motion Picture is a blockbuster animated comedy available on Netflix now. The raucously hilarious patriotic satire features a completely ridiculous and nonsensical account of the American Revolutionary War, where George Washington, Sam Adams, Thomas Edison, Paul Revere, Geronimo and John Henry team up to take on Benedict Arnold (who just so happens to be a werewolf) and the British army....

‘Doom Patrol’ Trailer: “Just What The World Needs, More TV Superheroes” By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 8, 2019 1:30 pm EST A new Doom Patrol trailer is here, and it sure does lean into how funny the show is supposed to be. There’s jokes galore, and even some meta commentary, as villain Mr. Nobody (Alan Tudyk) flat-out calls the characters “TV superheroes.” Are they going for some Deadpool-style fourth wall breaking here, or is that line out of context?...

‘Green Lantern’ Director Martin Campbell Agrees With You: “I Shouldn’t Have Done It” By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 13, 2021 9:15 am EST Many of us had an inkling the 2011 Green Lantern movie wasn’t shaping up to be a great idea, Ryan Reynolds knew it had disaster written all over it, and now director Martin Campbell himself agrees, as he weighs in on the infamous misfire. Any filmmaker talented enough to make a living in this business for as long as Campbell has is bound to have a few misses among his hits, which probably explains why he is able to look back in retrospect with as much candor and sobriety as he does now....

‘Mortal Kombat’ Motion Posters Introduce The Roster Of Fighters Before The First Trailer Tomorrow By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 17, 2021 10:30 am EST Mortal Kombat is coming to theaters and HBO Max this spring as part of Warner Bros.

‘Rare Beasts’ Clip: Billie Piper Makes Her Directorial Debut [Exclusive] By Shania Russell/Aug. 18, 2021 1:51 pm EST Billie Piper is continuing her exceptional career trajectory with her directorial debut, Rare Beasts. The briefest way to describe the upcoming film is to call it a love story — but that might give you the wrong impression. Rare Beasts follows a career-driven single mother falls in love with a man and embarks on a life-changing relationship....

‘The North Water’ Trailer: Whale Hunter Colin Farrell Goes Mad In The Arctic In New AMC Limited Series By Chris Evangelista/July 9, 2021 9:59 am EST The harsh elements are the least of everyone’s worries in The North Water trailer.

Adam McKay’s Professional Split From Will Ferrell Sounds Downright Heartbreaking DreamWorks Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 30, 2021 10:32 am EST Before he started directing Oscar favorites like “The Big Short,” “Vice,” and the upcoming “Don’t Look Up,” Adam McKay was known for the Will Ferrell comedies he helmed, starting with “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” continuing with “Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers,” and “The Other Guys,” and ending with “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” in 2013....
