The first “official trailer” for Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder — not to be confused with the teaser that dropped a little over a month ago — debuted tonight during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on ESPN. While the teaser gave us our first glimpse of Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster wielding the hammer, tonight’s official
Making a movie tends to require an entire team of people. You’ve got your director, producer, writer, editor, on-screen talent, and more. Now imagine taking on the task of making a documentary entirely on your own. Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck filmmaker Brett Morgen took on that challenge for the David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream,
The legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in these weeks has been a wild affair, whether we’re talking solely about the events that have been viewable on TV or also taking into account the online commentary. We’ve also seen how quickly things can change with this defamation trial. For instance, it was reported

Highly anticipated Downton Abbey: A New Era made $1.050 million in Thursday previews that began at 7 p.m. at more than 3,300 theaters. It is Focus Features’ widest ever U.S. release and one that comes with a weight of responsibility as the film to finally catapult older demos back into theaters. Focus Features distribution chief
I like to imagine that there is another Bruce Willis in a parallel universe somewhere who is not an action movie star, but instead is a New York cop who single-handedly thwarts German thieves at the totally-real-in-this-world Nakatomi Plaza. Within the multiverse theory, the plot to Die Hard may very well have played out somewhere

For the most part, Machine Gun Kelly is professionally known as a singer/rapper, with a few acting roles on the side. But now, the 32-year-old can add the title of “director” to the resume. His Hitchcockian debut as the star/co-writer/co-director of the stoner flick Good Mourning, which also features his future wife Megan Fox, is
SUNDAY AM UPDATE: Refresh for more analysis and chart Focus Features’ Downton Abbey: A New Era is coming in at $16M, and while some might snipe that it’s lower than the first one’s robust $31M start, particularly against a production cost that’s double from the first at $40M, keep in mind this is a sequel to period
It’s been almost six years since Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher died at the age of 60, and her presence in the lives of so many can still be felt by the galaxy, especially the actor’s daughter Billie Lourd.

Every teenager has rebellious moments that push against their parent’s authority, and The Adam Project’s Ryan Reynolds was no different. For a teenage Reynolds, it was getting an ear pierced. The only problem was that his strict police officer father was against it. While one might think they know how the situation ended up, things
It’s a bizarre world, this (almost, more-or-less, maybe) post-Covid movie landscape. Pieces are falling into place: Production starts have been up for a year, box-office revenue continues to climb, though it’s still a long reach to pre-Covid highs. But so much is so different, and I don’t mean just the obvious shift toward streaming. Look
While the rule is technically don’t mix business with pleasure, many great relationships have had their start in workplaces, including Hollywood sets.

Everything in the Jurassic Park trilogy was a build-up to the hybrid dinosaurs unleashed in Isla Nublar and eventually, the world. 2015’s Jurassic World brought audiences the genetically modified Indominus Rex with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom introducing the Indominus-velociraptor hybrid Indoraptor. After sitting out the sequel, director Colin Trevorrow teased his return wouldn’t have any
FRIDAY MIDDAY UPDATE: Focus Features sequel Downton Abbey: A New Era is heading toward an $18M opening after a projected $8M Friday that includes $1M in Thursday night previews.

The biggest phenomenon in Frozen was its hit song, “Let It Go” which ended up becoming the most streamed Disney song of all time before Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” took its spot recently. And yet, somehow, one of the film’s stars, Josh Gad, has dodged learning all the lyrics to the hit song
The arthouse never died. If you want to keep it alive, just make more jaw-dropping, outrageous fare which can excite the 18-34 crowd. That’s the trick, and that’s what A24 did with the Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert directed martial arts family fantasy feature, Everything Everywhere All at Once, which by Sunday will become A24’s highest
It’s been almost two full months since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the 94th Academy Awards, and the incident is still being periodically brought up in public conversation.

Between memorable roles in Game of Thrones and Dune, as well as playing Aquaman in DC movies, Jason Momoa has become a household name, but it’s about time he became a certified action star, don’t you think?

After the middling box office performance of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the future of the franchise is unclear. While Fantastic Beasts 4 isn’t a sure thing, Warner Bros. certainly doesn’t seem to have given up on new Wizarding World of Harry Potter projects, and reportedly they are set meet with J.K Rowlding in
Box office is big news this week, not so much for its totals as for its totemic significance. Throngs will greet Top Gun: Maverick, but will kids join the grownups to see a nearly 60 year-old actor starring in a sequel to a 36 year-old hit? At the other end of the audience spectrum, will
As Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s legal battles continue this week with the Pirates of the Caribbean actor’s $50 defamation lawsuit against his former wife, his former talent agent of 30 years took to the (virtual) stand on Thursday to share her own experiences.

When Bill Skarsgård’s name is mentioned, a lot of people might think of him as Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the IT movies, and rightly so.

Everything Everywhere All at Once became the biggest surprise hit of 2022 so far.

Taking on the life of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Rock, is a massive undertaking.
