The pressure is on for the newHellboymovie this weekend. It can’t be easy adapting source material with a major, hardcore fanbase and, on top of that, theNeil Marshall-directed film also faces the challenge of following theGuillermo del Torofilms which featured an unforgettable performance fromRon Perlmanas the Right Hand of Doom. Finding the right actor to fill his shoes was of the utmost importance for this new movie and in that department, Marshall and his team knocked it out of the park by recruitingStranger Thingsstar,David Harbour....

However,Hypnosis Mic: Rhyme Animaonly focuses on four of these groups: Ikebukuro’s Buster Bros, Yokohama’s Mad Trigger Crew, Shibuya’s Fling Posse, and Shinjuku’s Matenro....

There isn’t a kind of media out there as utterly, unfathomably terrifying as cosmichorror. It’s a subgenre founded on the fear of the unknown, with countless creators drawing from the core tenets developed by famous authors likeH.P. Lovecraftto make truly unnerving stories. Yet despite how often people attempt to borrow its elements to create their scary features,they often fail to really understand what makes the medium unnerving— which is why fans are so lucky to haveAniara....

Isa Mazzeiarrived on the filmmaking scene last year with quite a splash. The writer of the Netflix breakoutCam, Mazzei channeled her experience working as a camgirl into the script for one of the breakout horror movies of the year; a sly and, yes, sexy look at matters of online identity, human sexuality, and self-empowerment that offered an unusually candid and empathetic look at sex work. Now, Mazzei is stepping away from fiction and claiming her story for her own with the next memoirCamgirl, a detailed look back on how she became an online sex worker, what it took to create and maintain her business....

Striking a chord with audiences and critics alike, it’s a stark, black-and-white filmed period piece set in the 50s. Prior toThe Last Picture Show,Bridges was mostly knownfor his work as a child actoralongside his brother,Beau Bridges....

With directorJoseph Kosinski’sOnly the Braveopening in theaters this weekend, a few days ago I sat down withJosh Brolinfor an exclusive video interview. He talked about being authentic to the real people portrayed in the film, not embellishing the dialogue or situations, why the studio was a little nervous when he posted a risqué picture on his Instagram, and more. In addition, with Brolin playing Thanos in the next twoAvengersmovies and Cable inDeadpool 2, we talked a little about both roles....

Fresh from thefirst trailerfor Netflix’sLocke & Keycome these new images to help you get acquainted with Keyhouse and its cast of characters. The trailer did a great job of setting the tone and the mood of the adaptation, though just who the major players in the story are remain a mystery to many. We wanted to fix that. We’ve paired up the cast with their characters in the new images below to help give you a one-up before the series arrives in just about a month....

Netflix has released a terrific new poster forStranger Things 3, the third season of the wildly popular original series. Pre-release interviews from creators and showrunnersThe Duffer Brothershave honed in on “change” as a major theme of the new season, and indeed the tagline appears to be “One Summer Can Change Everything.” That’s a play not only on the approaching adolescence of the characters (hormones, amirite?), but also the fact that this new season takes place during the summer—a serious change of pace from the fall and winter settings of the first two seasons....

Last year, there were some rumblings that the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences was mulling over the prospect ofaltering their Best Picture process. As it stands now, a preferential ballot is sent out to voters, after which anywhere between 5 and 10 nominees can arise. Last year, word surfaced that the Academy was considering expanding the category to a solid 10 nominees, but they ultimately decided to keep things as is....

The most recent trailer forPet Semataryis very effective but if you walk away wondering, why would Paramount spoil those plot details, I can certainly understand that reaction. That’s precisely why I asked directorsDennis WidmyerandKevin Kölschabout the marketing campaign during our interview at SXSW wherePet Sematarycelebrated its world premiere. As you’ll see in this brief transcript, I think there’s a case to be made for both going into the movie completely unaware of a certain plot point but also for jumping into thisPet Semataryadaptation knowing that it’s going to happen....
