From directorFrank Marshall, the HBO documentaryThe Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heartis a comprehensive look at the iconic trio of Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, otherwise known as The Bee Gees. One of the most remarkable things about these brothers was just how effortlessly they continued to find success in an ever-shifting music business, having written over 1,000 songs, including an impressive twenty #1 hits. During this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, filmmaker Frank Marshall talked about his personal connection to this documentary, what he found remarkable about their music, the biggest challenge in making this film, the most surprising thing he learned about his subject, how easy it was to line up interview subjects who were influenced by the group in their own music, how much filmmaking technology has changed over the years, whether he thinks movie theaters will survive the pandemic, and the advice he would give anyone looking to become a producer....

TheGame of ThronesSeason 6 finale was explosive in more ways than one.

Warning: Season 5 finale spoilers are nigh! You kind of have to feel bad forKit Harington. Ever since Jon Snow was stabbed at the conclusion ofGame of ThronesSeason 5, he’s been forced to participate in this mummer’s farce that Jon Snow is dead-dead. Or, if you believe heisdead-dead, that Harington might be off the show (despite being seen all over Belfast where the show is currently filming. Plus, you know,the hair thing)....

Despite early enthusiasm from Sony executives about the franchise and shared-universe potential springing fromPaul Feig’sGhostbustersreboot, the film’s estimated $75 million box office loss seems to have put the nail in the coffin of a live-action sequel. The 2016 release currently has a domestic box office takejust north of $117 millionwith a disappointing $62.8 million from the international market; it will expand into Spain and Japan within the next week or so, butbeing banned from playing in Chinacertainly hasn’t helped....

Historical resistance fighters, a soaring romance, top-tier production value, and some of the best talent the K-Drama industry has to offer. No, those aren’t descriptions of Netflix’s new hit seriesGyeongseong Creature, an engrossing period thriller-romance about colonialism’s generational horrors. Or, those descriptors don’t apply toGyeongseong Creaturealone. The 2018historical dramaMr. Sunshinecontends with similar subjects and results in the same equation asGyeongseong Creature, minus the supernatural monsters.One of the highest-rated K-Dramas of all time,Mr....

We recently learned thatAndrés Muschietti’sITwill come in at 135 minutes long, meaning you’ll have to keep yourself from squirming in terror for two-and-a-quarter hours. During that time you’ll be introduced to both the Losers Club and the terrifying title entity that takes the form of Pennywise the clown (Bill Skarsgard). And as new footage from a TV ad for the movie reveals, one of those sequences includes a horrifying chase which readers ofStephen King’s acclaimed tome know full well....

John Grishamhas donepretty well for himselfin the lawyer-focused thriller novel department. Selling upwards of 300 million copies of his books, Grisham’s works have often been adapted, both as numerous feature films and in a handful of attempts at TV series. But unlikeStephenKing,Tom Clancy, andJ.K. Rowling(or the big comic book brands), he has yet to enjoy a “universe” of his own on the big or small screens. That’s about to change thanks to Hulu’s plans forThe Grisham Universe....

Stay tuned for more on that front....

Sometimes it’s hard to shake old habits. For much of the first three episodes ofLegion, my mind worked overtime to convince me that the scary man with the yellow eyes was an allusion to the X-Men villain Mojo, the powerful “Spineless One” who runs a planet-wide television network that’s fueled by slavery and habitual viewership. And though the idea of Haller waking up to find himself in the Mojoverse, that’s clearly not the case and I’m certain of that because this show doesn’t have a noticeable need to reference the dense mythology from which it was born....
