While we already have a long list of cast members for Knives Out 2, it seems like we don’t know the whole story yet. The Netflix-bound sequel is currently filming in Greece, and recently released set pics reveal that Academy Award-nominee and all-around welcome presence Ethan Hawke is in the film, too....

These are the spy-like images that are often not very clear, or not in focus, and sometimes they’re even kind of confusing....

By Chris Evangelista/April 7, 2021 9:30 am EST July 2, 2021, to be exact. That will give viewers a chance to stream the film at home during the 4th of July weekend – unless they want to leave the house and watch Top Gun: Maverick, which will open in theaters on July 1. Both Tomorrow War and Top Gun come from Skydance Media, which makes Skydance poised to own Independence Day weekend this year....

‘Tim And Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie’ Red Band Trailer; You’ve Been Warned By Germain Lussier/Dec. 2, 2011 12:30 pm EST “I paid a billion dollars for that piece of s***?” Look, the humor of Tim and Eric is not for everyone.

A Dune Sequel Was Just Kind-Of, Sort-Of, Maybe Confirmed Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 21, 2021 11:33 am EST Hollywood, theater owners, general audiences, and fans most deeply invested in the story of “Dune” have all united to ponder one single question: Just how wholesome is it that Guillermo del Toro apparently thought they filmed those sandworms practically? Okay more seriously, most everyone has been wondering whether the gamble to film only the first two thirds or so of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” novel and necessitate a Part 2 to complete the story would pay off or not....

Challenge Accepted: Snarky New Scream Poster Invites You To ID The Killer Paramount Pictures By Lex Briscuso/Dec. 13, 2021 11:43 am EST The final “Scream” poster invites us to do the impossible — figure out who the killer is before the movie even premieres, and we just know it isn’t going to be that easy. After all, they toss the notion back in our faces pretty quickly with a snarky tagline....

The Lovely Bones Paramount Pictures Look, here’s the thing. We all know that a ranked list is a subjective thing. That said, anyone who tells you that “The Lovely Bones” isn’t Jackson’s worst film is lying to you. Like the next few films on this list, it combines attractive visuals with absolute tedium, but unlike the soul-sucking “Hobbit” trilogy, “The Lovely Bones” is also a tonal misfire that offends in its cloying sentimentality and insulting messages....

Last Night in Soho Trailer So much of “Last Night in Soho” remains shrouded in secrecy, and that’s the point. The Edgar Wright film already played the Venice Film Festival, and Wright actually released a letter begging those who saw the film there to not give away any secrets. The movie will next play TIFF, where I can’t wait to see it for myself. /Film contributor Marshall Shaffer was able to catch the film at Venice, and had (mostly) good things to say in his review, writing: “Last Night in Soho,” with all its warts and wonders, shows you can teach an old dog some new tricks....

Movies Like Nightcrawler That Are Definitely Worth Watching Open Road Films By Scott Thomas/Nov. 19, 2021 4:43 pm EST Dan Gilroy’s “Nightcrawler” dropped in 2014, a year in which Americans by and large trusted the media. That statement feels false, and yet not only did the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer find that fewer than half of U.S. residents trust mainstream news sources, but that this is actually the first time that has happened in the nation’s recent history....

New ‘WandaVision’ Trailer Teases The Rest Of Marvel’s Mesmerizing Mystery By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 29, 2021 8:30 am EST While many have been intrigued by WandaVision’s classic television sitcom format mixed with a Marvel Cinematic Universe mystery, some fans have grown impatient and tired of seeing something that didn’t feel anything like a Marvel Studios movie. Well, this week, that changed entirely. Now that the cat is partially out of the bag, Marvel wants to make sure that everyone knows the mystery is unraveling in a huge way, so those who may have given up early will come back and finish the season....

Podcast Mania: The Russo Brothers, Ava DuVernay, DC Comics, And More Announce New Podcasts By Ben Pearson/Feb. 22, 2021 4:30 pm EST Spotify is one of the key players in the audio space, but as you might expect, there are several other companies that want a sliver of that pie.

The 14 Most Iconic Alfred Hitchcock Scenes Of All Time Paramount Pictures By Nick Bartlett/Sept. 22, 2021 7:41 pm EST It’s impossible to overstate the impact Alfred Hitchcock has made on film. His movies have influenced countless other directors, while the tropes he helped create have now entered the film lexicon and shaped the modern thriller. “MacGuffins” — a word Hitchcock created to describe an item that drives the story, but isn’t actually all that interesting in and of itself — wrongly accused heroes, and meticulously constructed set-pieces that go off (and go wrong) with clockwork precision are all considered staples of the genre with which Hitchcock has name became synonymous....

The Bad American Acting In Squid Game Rules, Actually Netflix By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 13, 2021 12:58 pm EST This post contains spoilers for “Squid Game.” “Squid Game” is a phenomenon, and rightly so. It’s a vicious thriller series that sharply criticizes class and capitalism, anchored by across-the-board stellar performances. Until … episode 7. That’s when the Korean drama series introduces the mysterious “VIPs,” who turn out to be wealthy Americans, alongside one Chinese businessman, who look and sound like they’re characters played by Tobias Funke....

The Eternals Fought Clifford The Big Red Dog And Won (At The Box Office) Disney / Paramount Pictures By Hannah Shaw-Williams/Nov. 14, 2021 1:07 pm EST Not since “Avengers: Endgame” has there been a battle of such epic proportions: the ancient godlike beings known as the Eternals facing off against the mighty kaiju Clifford the Big Red Dog. Though the adorable, over-sized labrador retriever put up a worthy fight at the box office this weekend, he couldn’t quite overcome the might of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

The Nightmarish Inspiration Behind The Terminator Orion Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 30, 2021 10:36 am EST “Where do you get your ideas?” People love to lob this question at writers, and it’s often unanswerable, but for James Cameron, the writer-director of “The Terminator,” it’s a question that scrapes the dust — or nuclear ash — off his darkest dreams. Cameron would go on to direct “Aliens” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” two of the greatest movie sequels of all time, as well as “Titanic” and “Avatar,” two of the three highest-grossing films of all time; but “The Terminator” was his breakthrough feature....
