Last summer, I was invited alongside a group of journalists to visit the Atlanta, Georgia set ofAvengers: Infinity War. you may read a more in-depth account about my experience on the sethere, but suffice it to say that it was indeedepic. The amount of star-power in this movie is mind-boggling, and over the next several weeks I’ll be publishing interviews with the cast and creatives behind it all. They couldn’t reveal much in the way of specifics, of course, but it was really fun to just see their banter and interactions — which is really the crux of what theAvengersmovies are all about....

The best thing I can say aboutSean Anders’ lovely new movieInstant Familyis that it made me consider fostering children, something I had never even begun to consider in my entire life. It’s not that the movie shies away from how hard fostering can be—if anything, the movie leans into the difficulties of fostering. Rather,Instant Familydoes a public service about the foster system and then packages it in a charming comedy that prevents the story from ever being preachy or mawkish....

It’s almost surreal to interviewJay Chandrasekhar, director and co-writer ofSuper Troopers 2in his titular super trooper garb – it’s not unlike speaking to a Marvel personality while they’re still in their impressive super suits. But Chandrasekhar is shockingly relaxed despite having switched between on-screen gag machine and commanding director all day on set. He’s hard at work crafting a sequel that’s been nearly two decades in the making, the follow-up to the scruffy stoner flick that captured the Generation Y zeitgeist at seemingly the perfect cultural moment....

I don’t want to hypeJean-Claude Van Johnsontoo much, but this could be one of my favorite series of the year. Maybe. I’ve only seen the pilot, sure, but I believe in JCVD! The first full trailer for the series introduces us to the man behind the actor behind the spy, as JCVD is revealed as using Hollywood as a cover for his spycraft activities.

So when acting legendKenneth Branaghwas hired to directThor, it was made clear to him that the importance of finding the right tone and the right cast was paramount.
