When it comes to upcoming Stephen King movies I’ve been hyped to see, Edgar Wright’s The Running Man remake is definitely high up on the list. The dystopian thriller made for a great ‘80s action movie, but I’m just as fired up as Glen Powell is to see him star. As the production hits the

Gwyneth Paltrow is celebrating 52 from Paris, and I love that for her.

Considering we aren’t going to see The Super Mario Bros.

Daniel Day-Lewis, fresh off reuniting with There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson on the film Phantom Thread, decided that the fashion-centric film would be his last. It turns out, however, that his retirement was short-lived. Seven years
