Paramount Pictures has released a series of character posters for the highly anticipated sequelMission: Impossible – Fallout. The follow-up looks to build upon the story told inRogue Nation, withSean Harris’ villain returning and forcingTom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt to reconsider his past, and whether the deeds he carried out for his government were really good deeds at all. There’s more to it than that, of course, but really at this point all I need to know is it’s a newMission: Impossiblemovie with Tom Cruise and I’m in....

Sony just debuted the first trailer forMorbiusand, my oh my, there sure is a whole lot to process in the midst of all that exposition. To get the basics out of the way,MorbiusstarsJared Letoas the title antihero; a brilliant doctor born with a blood condition who spends his life obsessed with curing his ailment – but when he finally does, oopsie daisy, he turns himself into a so-called “Living Vampire,” with super-strength, hyper-speed, and an insatiable thirst for human blood....

This is a re-post of myNorman Lear: Just Another Version of Youreview from the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The film opens in limited release this weekend. As the producer/writer/creator of shows likeAll in the Family,The Jeffersons,Maude,Sanford and Son, andGood Times, simply running through the highlights ofNorman Lear’s career would make for a fascinating documentary all its own. But with the wildly compelling and ultimately profoundNorman Lear: Just Another Version of You, directorsHeidi EwingandRachel Grady—the duo responsible for past docs likeJesus CampandDetropia—make the decision to only focus on points in Lear’s life that further help to understand the man under the iconic hat....

Warning: Preacher season 2 spoilers are discussed during this interview. One of my favorite shows on television is AMC’sPreacher, which is based onGarth EnnisandSteve Dillon’scomic series and brought to life bySeth Rogen,Evan Goldberg, andSam Catlin.Loaded with crazy characters, graphic violence, sick humor, and really well done action set pieces,Preacherconsistently surprises and it’s like nothing else on TV. If you’re not familiar with the story,Preacherstarted off with an inaugural season that was essentially a prequel to events that happen throughout the violent graphic novel, which revolves around a preacher (Dominic Cooper) who has inherited a power called Genesis (a supernatural entity that has chosen his body as a host and gives him the power to make people do whatever he says)....

One of the craziest films you’re going to see this year (and maybe this decade) is writer/directorBoots Riley’s debut movie,Sorry to Bother You. Unlike most films that are pretty easy to explain, the less you know aboutSorry to Bother Youthe better, because it’s a film with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. However, the spoiler-free summary would be: It takes place in an alternate present day version of Oakland and follows a telemarketer named Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) who begins rising up the ranks at his office when he’s taught how to use his “white voice”—which is justDavid Crossdubbing all the lines....

We’re well into theRogue One: A Star Wars Storyportion of this weekend’s Star Wars Celebration, and while footage of the film is currently premiering, along with all manner of concept art and posters and such, our very own Perri Nemiroff was able to grab over 40 shots from theRogue Oneexhibit. The exhibit features a number of models of machines like the new AT-ATs and the new fighter plane, but it’s primarily a showcase for costumes, ranging from those sported by Jyn and her crew to those donned by Deathtroppers and the Imperial Stormtroopers....

I’d really like to experience viewing an episode ofThe Flashwith a group of fans divided right down the center: hardcore comic book fans to the left, diehard CW relationshippers to the right. While I fully suspect that different moments of tonight’s episode “The Darkness and the Light” would have elicited oohs and ahs at different times, the one thing those groups would have in common is that they’d both walk away feeling satisfied by the previous hour....
