George Clooney is headed back to television…just not the way you think.

Unlike former co-star Noah Wyle’s return to the medical procedural genre with “The Pitt,” Clooney will be taking to the small screen via The Great White Way. For the last few months, he’s been performing at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre in a theatrical adaptation of his 2005 Oscar-nominated biopic “Good Night and Good Luck.” Now he’ll bring that story back to the place it first started: on television.

Airing Saturday, June 7 on CNN, CNN will air a live performance of “Good Night and Good Luck” in what will be the Broadway show’s penultimate performance. It’s also the first time in Broadway history a play has been televised live.

As per The New York Times, the play will be preceded and followed by coverage and discussion around the show, it’s history, and the current state of journalism.

Good Night, and Good Luck, the new play by George Clooney and Grant Heslov directed by David Cromer, has announced that it has recouped its initial investment of $9.5 million in only 7 and a half weeks on Broadway. The acclaimed new play broke history many times over and recently announced that it holds the all-time record for the highest grossing play in Broadway history and is the first play to surpass a gross of $4 million in a single week (week ending 5/4/25).

Good Night, and Good Luck is currently playing at the Winter Garden Theatre and recently received 5 Tony Award nominations, including Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for Clooney. In addition, it was recently announced that, in partnership with TodayTix, 2,000 tickets are being subsidized by the production to New York City Public School students – including those studying journalism.

Isolated cabins, eerie woods, and way too many sharp objects — need we say more?

I watched the horror-comedy “Hell of a Summer” this weekend, and it got me thinking about why summer camps keep popping up as the perfect horror setting. There’s something nostalgic — and deeply unsettling — about being isolated in the woods, far from help. Plus, horror loves its simple setups: one location, one killer, and plenty of unsuspecting victims. So, here’s my top seven horror movies set at summer camp, guaranteed to make you think twice about that lakeside getaway.

There are moments in Good Night, and Good Luck, the new play by George Clooney and Grant Heslov opening on Broadway tonight at the Winter Garden Theatre and starring Clooney as pioneering TV journalist Edward R. Murrow, when the anti-authoritarian passions of all three men are made very clear. Anti-McCarthyism in Murrow’s case, anti-Trumpism for Clooney and, one presumes, Heslow. Unfortunately, more often than not, that clarity comes through speechifying, minor-key tirades and copious use of ’50s-era TV clips that make plain the all-too-obvious parallels between then and now.

We know when, in history and in the play, the inevitable “Have you no sense of decency?” will arrive to put Senator Joseph McCarthy out of America’s misery. When, the play not so subtly wonders, will Donald Trump face the same path?

Making clear-as-day the similarities between those long ago days of McCarthyite propaganda and today’s Trumpian “alternative facts,...

It was the first collaboration between Goddard and actor Chris Hemsworth (a relationship which would later be expounded upon in 2018's Bad Times at the El Royale). Cabin in the Woods also marks one of many repeated collaborations between Goddard and Joss Whedon.

Also starring comedic powerhouses like Bradley Whitford and Academy-Award nominee Richard Jenkins, Cabin in the Woodsplays with the conventions of horror filmmakingthrough a non-stop, silly, gruesome romp.

To so many of us, Chris Hemsworth’s main mark on the entertainment industry is through action films. The beefy Australian will forever be synonymous with his role as Thor aka The God of Thunder in his own lineup of Marvel films as well as a handful of The Avengers flicks. He’s also busted skulls in the Extraction franchise and blasted away otherworldly threats in Men in Black: International, but there’s only been one time that the actor dipped into the world of horror. Back in 2011, Hemsworth joined forces with an ensemble cast that also included Kristen Connolly (House of Cards), Fran Kranz (Dollhouse), Anna Hutchison (Vengeance: A Love Story), Bradley Whitford (The West Wing), Jesse Williams (Grey’s Anatomy) and Richard Jenkins (Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story) for The Cabin in the Woods.

Horror movies quite commonly offer cautionary tales, from Frankenstein's monster, to families moving into haunted houses despite warnings. Horror movies based on folklore, for example, have premises that carry timeless moral messages. The protagonists' strengths of character are tested in these films, and they sometimes even end in tragedy, on their way to establishing the importance of being conscientious. This is why horror movie villains sometimes seem to be in the right, like in Carrie, where even though the titular character ends up killing many people, her prior mistreatment at the hands of the deceased makes her actions feel justified.

Horror films reflect the anxieties of any given era. That's why there have been so many horror movies about artificial intelligence in recent times. The horror in the more meaningful films are the manifestations of human error, and the consequences of wrongdoing. The best horror movies come with life lessons,...

For years, scary movie fans have been dying for a “Cabin in the Woods” sequel. There are plenty of reasons that could never and should never happen; chief among them that it’s a damn-near perfect film and ends with a planet-destroying apocalypse heralded by none other than Sigourney Weaver.

Albert Serra with his Golden Shell for Afternoons Of Solitude Photo: Courtesy of San Sebastian Film Festival/Alex Abril Albert Serra's bullfighting documentary Afternoons Of Solitude won the Golden Shell as San Sebastian Film Festival's 72nd edition drew to a close last night.

The film considers the life of matador Andrés Roca Rey and Serra received the award from last year’s Golden Shell winner, Spanish filmmaker Jaione Camborda. The jury also included directors Ulrich Seidl, Christos Nikou and Fran Kranz, producer Carole Scotta and journalist Leila Guerriero.

The Silver Shell directing honours were shared ex-aequo by Edinburgh-based Portuguese filmmaker Laura Carreira for On Falling, a carefully crafted character study of a Portuguese migrant working as a warehouse picker and Spaniard Pedro Martín Calero, also making his debut, with ambitious female-centric horror film The Wailing.

Sometimes, in a closely contested festival competition, it pays to be the one thing that isn’t like the others. A starkly powerful, observational study of contemporary bullfighting, Spanish auteur Albert Serra’s “Afternoons of Solitude” was the only documentary in the main competition at this year’s San Sebastian Film Festival — and this evening won the Golden Shell for best film of the festival, beating some big-name narrative competition.

The award was presented by last year’s Golden Shell winner, Spanish filmmaker Jaione Camborda, heading a jury that also included directors Ulrich Seidl, Christos Nikou and Fran Kranz, producer Carole Scotta and Argentine journalist Leila Guerriero.

Centred on star Peruvian matador Andrés Rey Roca, “Afternoons of Solitude” is candid in its depiction of the violence of the sport, and has already proven controversial on home turf, with Spain’s animal-rights party Pacma calling for the film to be withdrawn from the festival.

A new episode of our Best Horror Party Movies video series has just been released, and with this one we’re looking back at the 2011 horror comedy The Cabin the Woods (watch it Here). To find out how we party to this movie, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Drew Goddard from a screenplay he wrote with producer Joss Whedon, The Cabin in the Woods has the following synopsis: When five college friends arrive at a remote forest cabin for a little vacation, little do they expect the horrors that await them. One by one, the youths fall victim to backwoods zombies, but there is another factor at play. Two scientists are manipulating the ghoulish goings-on, but even as the body count rises, there is yet more at work than meets the eye. Goddard and Whedon, who previously worked together on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel TV shows,...

Drew Goddard's 2012 horror-comedy classic, The Cabin in the Woods, is stacked with references and Easter eggs to some of the best horror media out there. Releasing at a time when the horror genre seemed to burn out, with its golden years behind them, The Cabin in the Woods aimed to revitalize the genre. To many, they had succeeded, creating a horror film which was different from those which came before it.

The Cabin in the Woods follows a group of college students vacationing in a remote cabin, you guessed it, in the woods. Here, a variety of monsters prey on the students, under the control of technicians who are masterminding the events from a secret, underground facility. The film acts as both a critique of some parts of the horror genre, whilst simultaneously paying homage to others. The references range massively, from Sam Raimi's Evil Dead to more obscure classics,...

Julia season 3 gets a detailed update from creator Daniel Goldfarb. Premiering in March 2022 centers on Julia Child as she films her famous cooking show, The French Chef, during the 1960s. Sarah Lancashire plays the lead role alongside Frasier alum David Hyde Pierce and Bebe Neuwirth. The cast also includes Fran Kranz, Fiona Glascott, Brittany Bradford, Judith Light, and Rachel Bloom, among others.

In an interview with Variety, Goldfarb was asked about what Julia season 3 might consist of. In response, Goldfarb said that he, showrunner Keyser, and the rest of the writing team are “daydreaming” about a third installment.

Max’s Julia Child biodrama is blessed with a deep bench of winning characters played by incredible actors. Aside from Julia (Sarah Lancashire) and her husband Paul (David Hyde-Pierce), there's Julia's best pal Avis (Bebe Neuwirth), the public-television producer who helped shepherd her show to the air (Brittany Bradford as Alice), her original French Chef director Russ (Fran Kranz), her new director Elaine (Rachel Bloom); the list goes on. But a special place at the table should be set for Julia's Judith Jones (Fiona Glascott), the book editor at the Knopf publishing house and the French Chef’s first great champion. She's a character so dynamic, self-possessed, and charismatic, that there seems only one thing left for her to do: leave Julia for a spin-off of her own.
