Every filmmaker has their dream project. ForStanley Kubrick, it wasthat Napoleon moviethat never came together. For someone likeThe Neon DemondirectorNicolas Winding Refn, it’s a big blockbuster with tons of action (andmaybe Batgirl). But what about the two names behind something as bizarre asSwiss Army Man, dubbed “theDaniel Radcliffefarting corpse movie”? The answer is just as bizarre as you might imagine. During an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, co-directorsDaniel ScheinertandDaniel Kwanwere asked about their dream project....

In case you missed it, the appearance of Dimension X warlord and brain-like alien menace Krang has been confirmed forDave Green’sTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Now, we don’t know just how Krang will look in the sequel since VFX SupervisorPablo Helmanand producerMichael Bayare still hashing outjust where his yet-to-be-determined number of tentacles will be located, but an early look at some of the toys for the film might give us a hint....

The latest film in theTexas Chainsaw Massacrefranchise debuted on Netflix recently to a mostly negative reaction. Many fans disliked the characters and the film’s apparent “wokeness,” but most also agreed that old man Leatherface himself was as scary as ever, making a flawed entry at least watchable for the appearance of one of horror’s most infamous villains. Many look at the likes of Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees as the first masked slashers, but before them came the human skin-wearing Leatherface....

Recounting the life stories of popular celebrities and other public figures,biopicshave been a source of inspiration and education to audiences for many, many years. But while there are plenty of great biopics that handle their real-life subjects with the requisite care and grace, there are also far too many that have failed the people whose stories they claim to represent. The movies we’re looking at in this article fall firmly into the latter camp....

WithThe Gray Mannow playing in select movie theaters and streaming on Netflix starting July 22, I recently spoke toJoeandAnthony Russoabout making the action thriller. Since we already did a longerinterview with the Russo brothers where they talked aboutwhy it’s taken so long to getMark Greaney’s novel to movie screens, castingRyan Gosling, the incredible challenge of making a movie with nine action sequences, and why they castDhanush, I decided in this interview to have them break down filming the massive Prague action set sequence in the third act of the film....

DirectorLee Croninfirst caught my eye with his short filmGhost Train- which I highly recommend watchingright here. Ever since I first watched that, I’ve wanted to see Cronin jump into feature filmmaking, specifically to make a feature-length version ofGhost Train. While that hasn’t happened yet, things couldn’t have panned out much better for him because not only is his feature directorial debut,The Hole in the Ground, very impressive but during our chat at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, Cronin also teased he really is working on aGhost Trainfeature!...

There is no better way to celebrate Ahsoka Tano Day than watching behind-the-scenes videos featuringThe MandalorianSeason 2 starRosario Dawson. Dawson shared a series of videos on Saturday which reveal everything that went into transforming her from regular old human to a very powerful Jedi andformer padawan of Anakin Skywalker. The footage was shared as part of Dawson’s celebration of Ahsoka Tano Day, a momentous occasion observed byStar Warsfans because it is the day this important character was introduced back in 2008....

When we heard fromShane Blacklast monthabout his plans forThe Predator, he said that 20th Century Fox was able to woo him back to the franchise by pitching it as an event on the same level ofAlienorIron Man 3. He didn’t have much beyond that, but there’s certainly room to build an event franchise around thePredator. His films have been varying levels of cool (I say that as a defender ofPredators, which was a really neat idea for the franchise), and if you put it in the hands of a talented filmmaker and storyteller like Black, you could really work wonders with the monster....

It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the 40th anniversary ofGremlins, the wild horror comedy from directorJoe Danteabout a small town overrun by scaly little creatures. The Warner Bros. film was a major success, coming in asthe third-biggest box office moneymaker of 1984. There is so much that works aboutGremlins, from itsFrank Capraesque feel, the romance between Billy (Zach Galligan) and Kate (Phoebe Cates), and the boundary pushing creepy horror of the gremlins destruction (it’sone of the films that caused the creation of the PG-13 rating), but let’s face it, it’s Gizmo, voiced byHowie Mandel, who steals the show....

The White Lotus, an HBO limited series written and directed byMike White(School of Rock,Freaks and Geeks) follows the experiences of the eclectic guests staying at the Hawaiian resort The White Lotus. The series is unique in a lot of ways, one being the fact that it doesn’t have one defined lead. Instead, it is made up of actors that are mostly known for their time on screen in supporting roles, making them ideal candidates for thisensemble-centric adventure....

If you’ve been awaiting any information about the much-expected fifth season ofLaw & Order: Organized Crime,Christopher Melonihas some news, but sorry, it’s not the release date. The lead star, who has portrayed Detective Elliot Stabler on the show since its debut in 2021, recently revealed another role he would play in the upcoming season while also teasing the return of a beloved character fromLaw & Order: SVU. Fans would recall that Meloni was once in the firstLaw & Orderspinofffor more than a decade before exiting his Stabler role ahead of Season 13....

It’s always amazing whena filmmaker gets to revisit the storiesthey never fully got to tell. Whether it be budgetary restraints or producers' influence, it’s great when a director returns to themoviesthey created years ago, getting the chance to flesh them out in ways they couldn’t before and, hopefully, granting them the cathartic climaxes they deserved. That seemed to be the intent ofhorrordirectorAnthony DiBlasion his movie, 2023’sMalum; focusing on a rookie cop facing off with demonic cult members,this story is an almost direct remake of the director’s earlier, widely acclaimed movie, 2014’sLast Shift....
