You know what’s better than getting to talk to one of the biggest genre icons? Getting to talk to that individual about theverysuccessful continuation of the franchise he started. The originalHalloweenis one of the best horror movies of all time, a movie that spawned nine additional films, none of which managed to capture the same terror and magic ofJohn Carpenter’s original - until now. The 1978 film is still the untouchable crown jewel of the series, but with this newHalloweenmovie, directorDavid Gordon Greencrafts a story that honors the original film, takes both Michael Myers and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) a major step forward, and offersHalloweennewcomers an accessible entry point to the franchise....

With the DCEU’s Supermanreportedly hanging up his capeandBen Affleck’s Batman likelynot far behind him, Warner Bros.' post-Justice Leaguelandscape looks like it’s in for one Doomsday-esque shakeup. Luckily, the studio has a ready-and-willing actor with a Wayne-worthy jawline waiting in the wings.Speaking to Graham Bensingerfor the seriesIn Depth,Jon Hammexpressed a willingness to don the cape and cowl, a rumored casting choice that the actor says has followed him since season one ofMad Men....

Keira Knightley(Black Doves) is utterly confused. At least that’s what we can get from the first-look image thatNetflixunveiled today in order to tease the upcoming movieThe Woman In Cabin 10. Along with the image, the streamer also announced when we can expect to see the psychological thriller on our screens: a release window has been set for this Fall. In the story, Knightley plays a journalist who is covering the maiden voyage of a luxury cruise....

Last week,Ryan Reynoldsmade the surprising claim thatJames Mangold’sLoganwould be an Oscar film. “‘Logan’ looks like a movie that might break that glass ceiling,” Reynolds toldVariety. “I know first-hand that it’s amazing. I’ve seen some of it. It’s mind-blowing. It relies a lot on character.” Mangold himself, for his part, has said thatLoganis “a movie for grownups.” And as we’ve seen from the trailers, it looks far different than previousWolverinemovies or even most superhero films....

Having already documented herintensive trainingto prepare herself for life underwater inBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever, nobody could accuseLupita Nyong’oof taking it easy when getting ready to return to the role of Nakia forRyan Coogler’s blockbuster sequel.

Not content with sharing her submerged workout routines, Nyong’o has now returned toInstagramto show off a video of her preparing for combat in the film....

The Marvel Universe is known for its well-placed humor, and it seems that ABC is looking to focus on that for an upcoming comedy series based on Marvel’sDamage Controlcomics. The network, which is really killing it with comedies these days —Modern Familyremains a ratings juggernaut, whileFresh Off the Boat,black-ish, andThe Muppetsare all excellent recent additions to its lineup — has reportedly bought a script for a half-hour, single-camera sitcom that follow the overworked and underpaid clean-up crew of the Marvel Universe....

Looking back at April,The Jungle Bookalways looked to come out on top, but it proved to be one of those films that is not only massively successful but also dominates everything in its path, particularly the expensiveThe Huntsman: Winter’s War. Meanwhile, the star-studdedMother’s Daycame in below expectations, as didHardcore HenryandKeanu. For the last two months, I have grossly underestimated Disney releasesThe Jungle BookandZootopia. I plan on not making this mistake again withCaptain America: Civil War, which seems like it could set a new opening weekend record for May....

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 2 finale of The Wheel of Time. The Wheel of TimeSeason 2 separates its leading character to explore different parts of the fantasy worldRobert Jordancreated for his book series. With so many stories happening simultaneously, it’s no surprise that the season finale, “What Was Meant To Be,” was so eventful. Leaving the newly reunited heroes with their victory as a city of people cheers and recognizes Rand (Josha Stradowski) as the Dragon Reborn, it seems to be a happy ending, but the characters still have many challenges to face....

The ongoing saga of what in the world is going on with theBond 25script got a delightful curveball just before production began, asFleabagandKilling EvecreatorPhoebe Waller-Bridgewas brought on to further work on the screenplay. And now Waller-Bridge has offered some details on what her work entailed. To briefly recap, the initialBond 25script hailed from longtimeBondveteransRobert WadeandNeal Purvis, but then whenDanny Boyleand his frequent writerJohn Hodgethrew their hat into the ring with an original idea, the producers changed course....

The closer we get to the first-quarter 2017 release ofDean Israelite’sPower Rangers, the more nervous I get. I was down with the young cast, one anchored by veteran actors on both the heroic and villainous sides of the power coin. I was pleasantly surprised by the title heroes' costume redesigns and appreciated the homage to the original live-action series. The marketing let me down a bit with the recent reveal of Alpha 5’s redesign, but while I certainly wasn’t alone in finding his new look bizarre, a fair amount of folks were totally fine with the updated concept art....
