However, details of his character are being tightly kept under wraps. Scott’s sequel to the Oscar-winning movie has gathered a stellar cast that includesPaul Mescal, who will star as Lucius, along withBarry Keoghan,Joseph Quinn,Connie Nielsen, andDenzel Washington....

Yesterday, Sony gave gaming fans stuck at home something to nerd out over whenPS5’s lead system architectMark Cernyappeared in a near hour-long stream that offered “a deep dive into PS5’s system architecture and how it will shape the future of games.” Naturally, during that time, Cerny detailed many of the upgrades and system tweaks you’re able to expect with the next generation of Playstation consoles (and you can read Dave’shandy breakdown of all those details right here)....

WhenThe Vampire Diariespremiered in 2009, it took place at a high school. That’s what you expected from The CW: high school-centric stories, the bread and butter of teen dramas. But over the last few years the network has changed, and even grown up a little. The focus has stayed on the supernatural, but moved towards superheroes. Those shows and other recent favorites (The 100,Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, even newcomers likeNo Tomorrow) have focused on a slightly older set of characters, ones who tend to be in their mid 20s and dealing with careers (never over 30 though,come on)....

Saturday Night Livewill return this weekend with original content amid the coronavirus pandemic that has brought the entertainment industry to its knees. The show will look a bit different, however, as segments will be produced remotely, and will likely be taped for broadcast rather than aired live. You can definitely count on seeingWeekend UpdatewithColin JostandMichael Che, though again, it’s unclear whether they’ll be seated next to each other in their usual studio, or whether they’ll record the segment from the safety of their own homes....

The R-rated animated filmSausage Partyhad agreat opening weekendand the success of few other films have made me this happy. That’s mostly becauseSausage Partyseemed to help take quite a lot of wind out of the sails ofSuicide Squad, the second unmitigated fiasco that Warner Bros. and DC have released in 2016. For such a mess to have the energy zapped out of it by a cadre of talking hot dogs, buns, produce, donuts, and other random grocery store staples is a lot of icing on a cake I have no interest in eating....

With Aviron Pictures' new thrillerSerenityopening in theaters this weekend, I recently sat down with writer-directorSteven Knightfor an extended video interview in the Collider studio. During the wide-ranging conversation, he talked about how the project came together, putting together the incredible cast, what he learned from early screenings that impacted the film, how he likes to edit, why he will remove entire scenes and not just a line or two, how he decided to place clues to figuring out the twists and turns of the movie, and so much more....

I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the hours untilSpielbergdebuts on HBO on Saturday night. Directed and produced bySusan Lacy, the documentary is the first of its kind thatSteven Spielberghas decided to participate in fully, offering a chronicle of the filmmaker’s career through extensive interviews with Spielberg himself, collaborators, friends, and fellow filmmakers. The movie is a deep dive into the process of one of the greatest directors in history, packed to the brim with testimonials from those he’s worked with over the years and candid conversations with the man himself....

While Ubisoft’sAssassin’s Creedadaptation didn’t makean eagle divea big splash at the domestic box office, a relatively strong international performance kept theMichael Fassbender-starrer from being a write-off and turned it into a decent earner. The film continues its rollout in China and Japan in February and March respectively, but Ubisoft isn’t waiting on the final numbers to move ahead with their next video game adaptation:Splinter Cell. TheTom Clancy-inspired/endorsed video game franchise is already set up to starTom Hardyin the lead, and will be produced in part byBasil Iwanyk....

Today at the Comic-Con panel for DC, Warner Bros. revealed that theirThe Flashmovie would be based on the 2011 comic book seriesFlashpoint. For those unfamiliar with the comics, which were written byGeoff Johns(who now oversees the DCEU),Flashpointis essentially a big reset button. Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) runs so fast that he travels back in time and prevents his mother from being killed. However, thanks to The Butterfly Effect, this has major repercussions across the DC universe....

If you live in Los Angeles and are looking forward to seeing theRussoBrothers new movie,The Gray Man, you’re about to send me an email. I say this because Netflix is providing Collider with a very limited number of free tickets to an early screening on Sunday, July 10th at 5pm, so you can see the film before it’s in theaters and on Netflix. But I’ve left out the best part. Following the screening, you’ll be able to watch an incredible Q&A featuringJoe&Anthony Russo,Ryan Gosling,Chris Evans,Ana de Armas,Jessica Henwick,Dhanush,Billy Bob Thornton,Alfre Woodard,Regé-Jean Page, andJulia Butters....

Classic movie monster and dreadlock icon the Predator is getting an updated look courtesy ofShane Black, according to a newfull-body image from Empire. Ditching the sleek, Schwarzenegger-stalking look from the 1980s original, Black’sThe Predatoris outfitting its intergalactic big-game hunter in a bigger, dare I say more badass suit of armor to better do battle withthe Super Predator teased in the trailer. “The challenge became to make it frightening,” Black told Empire....

With every new movie, the horror genre evolves and pushes boundaries. Terrifying monsters, nightmare-inducing apocalypses, and realistic body horror populate the big screen. As the genre continues to change shape, sometimes it can be refreshing to go back to the basics with a good old-fashioned ghost story.Nick Murphy’s debut 2011 film,The Awakening, does just that. StarringRebecca Hallas Florence Cathcart in the wake of The Great War,The Awakeningreveals everything that makes a classic gothic tale great....

I’m sure there were more than a few filmgoers who look atIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destinyand wonder: “Why? What good can come of dragging a series like this back from the grave when it was so good as it was?” The same sentiment was abundant whenIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skullcame out too. I’m inclined to feel this way about any movie series that’s advanced beyond a trilogy – and I likeCrystal Skull....
