Renewedback in Aprilafter making waves with its first season on the streamer, the series boastsBen Stilleras its director and producer withDan Ericksoncreating and writing. No specifics are available on what to expect with the upcoming season or when audiences will be able to return to the office, but the return to the set means the wait shouldn’t be overly long....

At the CBS All-Access panel at the TCA Press Tour,Star Trek: DiscoverybossBryan Fulleradmitted that there is an anvil hanging over his head if he reveals too much about the highly anticipated series,but, he did confirm a few interesting tidbits. For one, the series will be 13 episodes to start (if it’s successful, they will order more), and will feature a female lead. Casting hasn’t started yet, but they will be shooting soon, so expect some announcements on that in the coming weeks....

One of the good things about knowing you are making a movie that has such a huge fandom is that you know to document every part of it. In a new behind-the-scenes video forStar Wars: The Last Jedi, it looks like cameras were constantly rolling off set from before the on-set filming started (noticeable, particularly, in the wayJohn Boyegacompletely ignores both the camera and his name being mentioned in front of it until they call over to him specifically)....

With director and co-writerRodo Sayaguesand co-writerFede Álvarez’sDon’t Breathe 2opening in theaters this weekend, I recently spoke aboutStephen Langabout making the sequel to the huge hit from 2016. If you’re not aware, the firstDon’t Breathewas made for around $10 million, and it went on to gross an impressive $157 million at the worldwide box office. In the sequel, which takes place several years after the first film ended, Norman Nordstrom (Lang) is living a quiet life with a new daughter figure (Madelyn Grace) when his past sins catch up to him....

CBS has released a new featurette forSupergirl.Melissa Benoiststars as Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, who is discovering her burgeoning superhero skills while maintaining her civilian identity as an assistant to media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart). Supergirlcomes from the creative team behind The CW’s mini superhero-verse (Greg BerlantiandAndrew Kreisbergexecutive produce), but has a decidedly different tone suited to CBS. I’m pretty torn on what I’ve seen from the series so far. The action looks great, and Benoist has a perfect “everygirl” charm to pull off the secret identity dynamic, but audiences have waited a long time to see a female superhero stake her claim in entertainment landscape, and I’m not sure all this talk of dating and lipstick really lives up to that expectation....

As audiences near the last few episodes ofTed LassoSeason 2 on Apple TV+, it looks like the third season is in full swing as of this week. As reportedover at THR, pay negotiations had previously begun to take shape ahead of the hit show’s Season 3, with deals closing after the Labor Day weekend that will see notable figure increases for several key cast, members of the writing staff, and showrunnerBill Lawrence....

Batmanis now available to be reinvented by a brand new director. Word broke last night thatBen Affleckhas decidednotto directthe standalone filmThe Batman, and will instead only produce and star in the upcoming DCEU feature. It was a somewhat surprising development, although it did feel like Affleck had been a little pressured to helm the movie in the first place. He spent the last two years hemming and hawing, saying theplanis for him to direct the film, and that he wouldn’t make the film unless the script was great....

Peacock’sLockerbie: A Search for Truthdetails the dogged pursuit by Jim Swire, played byColin Firth, to find those responsible for the death of his daughter in the tragic bombing of Pan-Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. The series is based onThe Lockerbie Bombing: A Father’s Search for Justice, written by Swire, and largely keeps the narrative on Swire and his remaining family, interspersed with other perspectives. Nevertheless,Lockerbie: A Search for Truthhasstirred up controversy, with many of the Lockerbie families vehemently disagreeing with Swire (one woman called Swire’s account a “narrative that the great majority of us who lost loved ones do not align with and have fought very hard against”), but Collider’s own Taylor Gates,in her review, sees it more as a character study than as propaganda to earn public favor for his claims....

Arya Stark killing the Night Kingin Season 8, Episode 3 ofGame of Thronesmight’ve been a welcome surprise to fans at first. But as we look back on the show, we’ll see thatit not only doesn’t make sense but also abruptly ends a drawn-out mystery with no satisfying conclusion. Why are the nightwalkers built up into such an existential threat only to be dispatched by one teenager? How does Arya as the savior jive withthe Azor Ahai prophecy?...

Following upPulp Fictionwas always going to be an impossible task, and it seems as thoughQuentin Tarantinoknew this. Instead of following up his decade-defining masterpiece with something even bigger and grander, he opted out for anadaptation of a pulpy(no pun intended) crime novel —Rum Punch. The title would end up becomingJackie Brown, and despite a quieter roll-out than its predecessor, these days, it isregarded as one of Tarantino’s best. Like a lot of his works,Jackie Brownis a partial throwback to another era in cinema....
