The CBS drama seriesAmerican Gothiccenters on the prominent Hawthorne family, reeling in the wake of the chilling discovery that someone in their midst is linked to an infamous string of murders. As shocking secrets from the past and present are revealed, their mounting suspicion and paranoia that one of them is a killer threatens to tear the family apart. The series starsVirginia Madsen,Antony Starr,Juliet Rylance,Justin ChatwinandMegan Ketch. During this exclusive phone interview with Collider, actress Juliet Rylance (who plays eldest daughter Alison Hawthorne-Price, who is also running for mayor) talked about whyAmerican Gothicappealed to her, how people love to watch dysfunctional families, how different her experience onThe Knickwas, always being in the dark about where the story is headed, keeping the show fast-paced and moving, Alison’s place within this powerful family, and how her character has become more human, over time....

The official trailer for directorR.J. Cutler’s new documentary,Belushi, leads with a killer sentiment from the subject of the documentary: “I’d rather be an anarchist than a professional.” The anarchist-wannabe in question is the lateJohn Belushi, whose life and legacy will be the subject of Cutler’s documentary, coming to Showtime in November. Belushi’s imprint on the comedy world is deep despite his relatively brief run in the spotlight before his untimely death at age 33 in 1982....

In the run-up to the Fall/Winter season at the movies, no other big-studio production has more promise thanBlade Runner 2049. That the movie is headlined byRyan GoslingandHarrison Fordeases the fact thatJared Letoplays a major role but the real draw as of this moment isDenis Villeneuve’s direction and visionary style. AfterArrival, one of 2016’s biggest sleeper hits, Villeneuve gained a certain level of prowess that evaded him with 2015’sSicarioand 2013’sPrisoners, andBlade Runner 2049is the biggest project he’s taken on....

Last week in London, I attended the world premiere ofBohemian Rhapsodyat Wembley Arena. Unlike most premiere venues, which are lucky to hold a thousand people, Wembley Arena is a massive building that normally hosts concerts and other live events. So for the world premiere of the Queen movie, 20th Century Fox filled the arena up with around seven thousand people, and during the film’s big moments it truly became an interactive experience....

NFC on iPhones can’t be turned off. This feature is always on and ready to use. It lets you make payments and share data quickly, which in theory is always good. But recently a lot of users have been reporting problems in areas where an NFC scanner is establishing a connection with their phone in an unwanted manner (ie- when trying to board a train, subway, etc.)Apple doesn’t give users a way to disable NFC on their iPhones, but you do have some options with controlling things like Apple Pay....

With directorTerry George’sThe Promiseopening this weekend in theaters, I recently landed an exclusive interview withChristian Bale. During the wide-ranging conversation he talked about why he wanted to be involved in this project, how the movie only happened because ofKirk Kerkorian, memorable moments from filming, Turkey’s unwillingness to acknowledge the genocide, and more. In addition, Bale talked about possible working withAdam McKayagain on hisDick Cheneymovie, what he remembers about makingChristopher Nolan’sThe Prestige, why he wanted to be part ofScott Cooper’sHostiles, if he wants to direct, will he be involved in another superhero franchise, working withAndy SerkisonJungle Book, how he’s always on the verge of quitting, and so much more....

Ever since his breakout role as Mr. Darcy inPride and Prejudice(1995),Colin Firthhas established himself as one of the most charming and endearing actors in the business. Though capable of portraying a wide range of roles, Firth is at his best when he’s clad in an immaculate suit, portraying a gentleman with a masterful knowledge of tact and etiquette. While this archetype of character is most often associated with the romantic lead in period pieces, one of Firth’s more underrated outings adds a more devious spin to this type of role....

It’s time forAl PacinoandDan Stevensto work together, in a story meant to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. According toVariety, the two actors will be seen inThe Ritual, where they will play two haunted priests who will try to free a woman from the control of a demon. However, the two characters will find themselves distanced from each other due to their different ideologies. The priest portrayed by Pacino will be dealing with the consequences of his complicated past, while the one played by Stevens will find himself questioning the strength of his faith....

Disney/Marvel’sAvengers: Infinity Warwill unite an impressive number of superheroes on display for the first time, but even that sizable cast will pale in comparison when thousands of superhero fans descend on a trio of new Marvel-themed parks coming to Disneyland locations. (Apologies to Disneyworld fans butDisney does not have Marvel rights in parks east of the Mississippi Riverin the U.S.; those belong to Universal and theirOrlando-based Islands of Adventure.) AsMarvelreports, highly anticipated new experiences at Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland will soon invite guests to become part of a bigger universe filled with epic heroes and adventures, and today they shared a sneak peek....

Doctor Whorecently wrapped its 13th season with its 13th Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), and it’s safe to say it was showrunnerChris Chibnall’s most ambitious outing yet. Unlike previous seasons,Fluxtold one overarching story over six episodes. Like any goodWhotale, it introduced new characters and brought back familiar monsters, traveled to far-flung alien vistas and distant historical events, and had the fate of the universe hanging in the balance. A lot of interesting ideas were introduced to theDoctor Whocanon over the course of these six episodes....

Your regular recapper Kayti Burt has gone north to capture a White Walker, so I’m filling in again this week. Dracarys! After the heart-stopping insanity of last week’s “Spoils of War,” it’s not surprising thatGame of Thrones(and to a large extent their VFX budget) spent the subsequent week in a much quieter place, setting up its final two episodes of the season. What is surprising is how quickly we can take for granted the payoff of seven seasons worth of conversations and world building, as things which used to take 10 episodes to happen (a person moving from one area of Westeros to another) now happen instantaneously....
