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)....

Supergirl Cast and Creators Tease TV's Newest Superhero

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....

The Batman: Who Should Direct?

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....

The Tragic True Story Behind 'Lockerbie: A Search for Truth'

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....

‘Jackie Brown’ Ending Explained — Who Gets Away With the Money?

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....
