Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas is beaming up one of his old crewmates to star in the upcoming Vision series at Marvel. Todd Stashwick, known for his key role as Captain Liam Shaw in the Patrick Stewart series's critically acclaimed third and final season at Paramount+, has been tapped to join the previously announced Paul Bettany and James Spader. There's no word on who Stashwick will be playing in the series which is set to be a direct follow-up to the events of WandaVision with Bettany and Spader reprising their roles as Vision and Ultron respectively.

For over fifty years now, Stevie Van Zandt has been a central figure in rock music and popular culture across multiple genres. Starting in the 1960s music scene of New Jersey, he rose to fame as a co-founder of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and as lead guitarist for Bruce Springsteen’s famous E Street Band. Ever the entrepreneur, Van Zandt also produced albums and wrote songs for other artists.

By the 1980s, his interests expanded into politics and activism. He vocally opposed apartheid in South Africa and organized the supergroup Artists United Against Apartheid. Their protest anthem, “Sun City,” united superstars like Bob Dylan and Miles Davis in creative defiance. Van Zandt’s solo career under the name Little Steven also addressed themes of justice and equality.

Despite this globetrotting musical career and outspoken political work, Stevie Van Zandt’s story had only just begun. In the 2000s,...

When you look at the true legacy of a scream queen there are a lot of options out there to choose from. When looking at the top of the heap though? I’d argue that there really is only one option. Jamie Lee Curtis has been making horror movies in 6 different decades now and while a lot of them are directly tied to her most famous franchise with 7 of her horror films being in the Halloween series, there’s so much more. In fact, her run from 1978 to 1981 includes the likes of Halloween 1 and 2, The Fog, Terror Train, and Prom Night. All of those movies have now been remade and are considered classics but there is one in there that doesn’t get talked about enough, was a bomb when it came out, but keeps getting better with age. While Halloween II came out and stole the spotlight in 1981, Road Games...

The Criterion Channel’s August lineup pays tribute to auteurs of all kinds: directors, actors, and photographers, fictional or otherwise. In a notable act of preservation and advocacy, they’ll stream 20 titles by the Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine, here introduced by the great Richard Peña. More known (but fun all the same) is a five-title Paul Thomas Anderson series including the exclusive stream of Licorice Pizza, as well as a Philip Seymour Hoffman series that overlaps with Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love (a Criterion Edition this month), and The Master, plus 25th Hour, Love Liza, and his own directing effort Jack Goes Boating. Preston Sturges gets five movies, with Sullivan’s Travels arriving in October.

Theme-wise, a photographer series includes Rear Window, Peeping Tom, Blow-up, Close-Up, and Clouzot’s La prisonnière; “Vacation Noir” features The Lady from Shanghai, Brighton Rock, Kansas City Confidential, Purple Noon, and La piscine. Alongside the aforementioned PTA and Antonioni pictures,...

Intro: What is the first movie that comes to mind when you hear the name Elisabeth Shue? Do you think of her as the Karate Kid’s love interest? The babysitter who went on an adventure through downtown Chicago? The Oscar-nominated prostitute from Leaving Las Vegas? Chances are, the movie that comes to mind is not Link. A horror movie where Shue shares the screen with a homicidal orangutan that’s passed off as being a chimp. Link isn’t very well known, but it should be. If you haven’t seen it, it’s the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw.

Creators / Cast: Link (watch it Here) was directed by Alfred Hitchcock devotee Richard Franklin, an Australian filmmaker who, for a while, looked like he could be one of the best sources for new Hitchcockian thrillers once the Master of Suspense had passed away. Franklin had even been friends with Hitchcock,...

Sir Patrick Stewart gained worldwide fame when he starred as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the show Star Trek: Picard. He played the role of the empathetic yet assertive leader of the USS Enterprise-d for seven seasons and returned with the cast for four films.

While returning to the role in Star Trek: Picard, Stewart reportedly was on the fence as he did not want to tarnish the legacy of the original show. He mentioned that his stardom was so huge that he could not walk on the streets of China as he was thronged by fans.

Jeff Daniels is always a reliably excellent performer whether its in comedy or drama, TV or film, and the veteran actor has turned in another masterclass performance in Netflix’s “A Man in Full.”

Adapted from Tom Wolfe‘s novel of the same name and created by “Big Little Lies” helmer David E. Kelley, “A Man in Full” follows Daniels as real estate mogul Charlie Croker, who tries to protect his empire and legacy from crumbling when he falls into sudden bankruptcy. Daniels dominated the screen here, chewing scenery, spitting it out with venom, and then re-chewing the scenery some more. Whatever you may think of the show, Daniels is never anything less than ferociously good, as noted by critics.

Nick Schager (The Daily Beast) wrote that the show “struts about with swaggering ferocity, led by Jeff Daniels’ full-bodied performance as a blustery, bloviating capitalist predator… ego is both a...

Tom Hardy loves to keep his social circle small, and during his initial years in Hollywood, he often didn’t engage in small talk with his fellow costars. This was reflected during his time in Star Trek: Nemesis, which remains his first and only appearance in the franchise, as Hardy would spend most of his time in his trailer when the cameras were off.

As a result, his costar Patrick Stewart thought he might never hear of the Venom star again after Nemesis, as the actor hardly communicated with his costars on set.

Gyllenhaal's Dalton in Road House is a former UFC fighter, offering a new backstory compared to the original movie. The film's portrayal of a fighter death in the octagon differs from real UFC history, where no such event has occurred. The UFC almost withdrew approval for the film due to its controversial storyline involving Dalton's tragic past.

Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House remake makes some major changes to the main character's backstory, but in doing so breaks an important and slightly surprising trend in the UFC. Unlike in the original Road House, the UFC plays a major role in building the 2024 movie's world and providing background to the characters. However, because of this close association, it was perhaps inevitable that the film would have an impact on how the organization is perceived, even if it makes some significant alterations to its history.

Whereas in the Patrick Swayze Road House, the...

“The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart” features a powerhouse performance from veteran star Sigourney Weaver, who once again reminds us that she is one of the best in the business. The acclaimed Amazon Prime Video limited series follows a young girl who survives a violent upbringing and is then subsequently raised on a flower farm by her grandmother. Weaver plays the grandmother, June, and ties the entire series together with the sheer might of her performance. She propelled the story to greatness and, as a result, propelled the series to excellent reviews.

Robert Lloyd (Los Angeles Times) opined: “The series, which is sensitively written, expertly performed by actors young and old, and beautifully shot, is in no rush to give up its mysteries, and by drawing out the drama, what’s obvious in the story comes off as proportionally more subtle.”

Chris Vognar (The Wrap) explained: “Weaver is the emotional...

It's surprising that after 16 seasons, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia only has one St. Patrick's Day episode. The success of the St. Patrick's Day episode in season 11 begs the question: why hasn't there been a sequel? With the Irish heritage of the characters and recent Ireland-centric storylines, a follow-up holiday episode feels necessary.

Despite being the perfect show to continue with such outings, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia still hasn’t capitalized on a sequel to its best holiday episode from season 11. Though the sitcom has been ongoing since 2005, It’s Always Sunny has surprisingly few holiday-themed episodes. In addition to only having one Christmas episode from season 6, there is only one Halloween episode, one Thanksgiving episode, and one St. Patrick’s Day episode, despite the fact that there have been 16 seasons of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Since It’s Always Sunny is typically concerned with the absurdities that can be born out of everyday experiences,...

Spoilers are ahead for the ending of Those Who Wish Me Dead.

Hannah and Connor survive the wildfire by hiding in a stream, which helps Hannah overcome her past guilt. Hannah strikes Patrick with an ax and lets the fire finish him off in an intense sequence that proves Angelina Jolie's action film prowess. Ethan dies, but smokejumpers rescue Hannah, Connor, and Allison, leaving audiences wondering about the dangerous secret Connor's dad was hiding.

For the most part, Those Who Wish Me Dead's ending is pretty straight-forward action-movie fare, except when it comes to learning about Owen's secret. Directed by Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan, Those Who Wish Me Dead is an action movie comeback for star Angelina Jolie, who plays Hannah — a guilt-ridden smokejumper who takes on a new post at a remote fire tower. Surprisingly, Those Who Wish Me Dead's depiction of smokejumpers is pretty spot-on.

Will (also referred to as Wil) has been picked up by Netflix and is set to be released globally on January 31st, 2024. Set in Antwerp, Belgium, the new WWII movie tells the story of an auxiliary policeman working during the Nazi occupation. Here’s what you need to know about the movie, plus some first looks and a clip from the movie.

The movie was first announced to be coming to Netflix via the New on Netflix newsletter for January 2024, including the title with its original name of Wil, which has since been replaced to have two Ls in the Netflix Ui.

Based on the novel by Jeroen Olyslaegers, the movie first saw a limited theatrical release in September 2023 but has been scooped up by Netflix, where it’ll debut as a Netflix Original at the end of January 2024. Per Netflix, here’s the official logline for Will...

Every now and then, someone on social media will lament about why they don’t make movies like The Fugitive anymore. For Fugitive director Andrew Davis, the decrease in crime dramas and thrillers that are primarily geared toward grown-ups actually dates back much further than the blockbuster craze of the past 15 years.

With the film, which turned 30 in August, Davis accomplished the rare feat of being both a commercial and critical success, culminating in seven Oscar nominations and one win for Tommy Lee Jones as best supporting actor. The Harrison Ford-starring vehicle that reimagined the 1963 TV series of the same name certainly didn’t set out to be the third-highest-grossing film of 1993 or an awards darling. Warner Bros. merely strove for a base hit, as opposed to swinging for the fences, and that philosophy ties into why the major studios no longer prioritize films with the scope and scale of The Fugitive.

Exclusive: Amidst a recent expansion into docs and scripted series, after just two years as a producer-financier of features, Closer Media has added accomplished producers Joey Marra and Nate Matteson to its leadership team. Former Jigsaw exec Marra will lead the company’s non-fiction division, with former manager Matteson set to oversee scripted television.

The hires come following Closer Media’s successful run on the fall festival circuit with titles including its first narrative feature, Ezra, The Monk and the Gun, which was snapped up for North America by Roadside Attractions after bowing out of Toronto, and the documentary In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon.

Marra will be based out of New York City, with Matteson working out of L.A.

Since joining Closer, Marra has spearheaded development of the Elon Musk documentary Musk, from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, which was recently acquired by HBO. He produced...

Patrick Stewart recalls a touching encounter with Vivien Leigh while watching Gone With the Wind together, as she became emotional reminiscing about her late co-stars. Vivien Leigh, despite being relatively unknown at the time, delivered one of the greatest performances in classic Hollywood, winning an Academy Award for her role as Scarlett O'Hara. The experience of sitting next to Leigh during the film highlights Stewart's long-standing career in the entertainment industry and solidifies his status as a legend, much like Leigh herself.

Patrick Stewart recalls watching Gone With the Wind with the star of the 1939 classic. He’s best known today as the star of Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men, but long before taking on his iconic roles in genre TV and films, Stewart tackled a very different kind of acting, appearing in Shakespearian drama on the British stage. It was during his time performing Shakespeare in...

PG-rated horror films can still be genuinely unsettling without relying on gore and violence. Many PG-rated horror films from the '70s were able to create a creepy and scary atmosphere, despite their family-friendly rating. Some PG-rated horror films, like Jaws, became iconic and influential in the genre, proving that scares can be achieved without explicit content.

Most horror films pride themselves on gore and violence, but some PG-rated entries in the genre prove that even family-friendly scary movies can pack a serious punch. By definition, horror movies are designed to scare audiences, and since many viewers find gore to be one of the most disturbing sights imaginable, the genre has garnered a reputation for featuring violent, upsetting imagery. That sort of content usually makes such movies suited for more mature audiences, garnering them PG-13 or even R ratings.

However, there are also a lot of horror movies that use...

Patrick Wilson was convinced to return for Insidious: The Red Door after he was offered the opportunity to direct the supernatural horror film.

After starring in 2011’s hit supernatural horror movie Insidious and its 2013 sequel Insidious: Chapter 2, Patrick Wilson left the Blumhouse-produced series, assuming that his days fighting supernatural beings in the cinematic universe created by Leigh Whannell and James Wan were over. "It wasn't out of, ugh, my god. I love these guys," Wilson told Entertainment Weekly. "I have such great memories of making those movies. I just thought, 'Okay, I've saved someone from being possessed and I've been possessed. What else is there to do?'"

Wilson's return to the franchise was prompted by several factors, including Blumhouse founder Jason Blum's desire to continue, Whannell's seed of an idea for a fifth entry, and Wilson's chance to direct.

Eddie Munster himself, Butch Patrick, will be appearing alongside The Munster Koach and Dragula at NorthEast Comic Con’s Collectibles Extravaganza at the Boxboro Regency Hotel in Boxborough, Ma on June 30-July 2.

Patrick starred on The Munsters from 1964 to 1966 and in the 1966 film Munster, Go Home. Last year, he made a voice cameo as The Tin Can Man in Rob Zombie’s reboot. The child actor turned car enthusiast will discuss his career in a panel on Saturday afternoon.

Richard Franklin has been called “The Australian Hitchcock” and 1981’s Road Games is the movie that earned him that title. Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, Franklin did not particularly emulate Hitchcock’s visual style. Instead, he learned how to structure a story and effectively build a sense of dread from the Master of Suspense. He also learned the importance of adding healthy doses of humor along the way to make the suspense even more effective. Though Hitchcock is Franklin’s greatest influence, there is plenty of John Ford and Howard Hawks, along with contemporaries like John Carpenter and Steven Spielberg to be found in his style. This is not to say that Franklin’s work is derivative. Every good filmmaker has influences that they synthesize into their own style. Franklin’s style is more difficult to pinpoint than, say, Scorsese or DePalma’s, but it is no less effective in its narrative capabilities.

HBO’s short-lived “Looking” never really stood a chance.

Creator Michael Lannan’s series about the ins and outs of three gay best friends in San Francisco ran for two seasons in 2014 and 2015, followed by a 2016 straight-to-hbo movie in place of a third season. Starring Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, Russell Tovey, and a pre-“White Lotus” Murray Bartlett, “Looking” arrived on the cusp of when studios started thinking seriously with their dollars in terms of telling queer stories for the mainstream. And those hoping “Looking” would be HBO’s gay answer to “Sex and the City” might have been disappointed with what they received instead: an indie film-style dramedy that played to the often drifting rhythms of its characters’ lives, seeking love and sex in a Bay Area being swallowed by the tech boom.

Tovey, an out British actor who’s since made a name on stage (“Angels in America...

Thaís Ramone is inviting some controversy from 90 Day Fiancé season 9 fans with a recent Instagram post. Thaís came from Brazil to be with her now husband, Patrick Mendes. Their time on the show was spent living with Patrick’s brother, John, providing plenty of drama.

90 Day Fiancé’s Thaís Ramone has been very active on Instagram since she made her debut on the TLC series. She chronicled her pregnancy thoroughly on the platform, which allowed viewers an inside look into Thaís's journey into motherhood. Thaís and Patrick welcomed their daughter, Aleesi Ramone Mendes, into the world on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. Since then, Thaís has proudly showcased life with her daughter and all the rigors and triumphs of motherhood.

Exclusive: Christopher Reich’s Simon Riske book series is headed to the screen as Netflix has re-teamed with Edward Berger, the Oscar-winning director, co-writer and producer of the streamer’s All Quiet on the Western Front, on a drama series adaptation, sources tell Deadline. Berger is set to direct the international spy thriller, in early development at Netflix UK, which is being written by Rowan Joffe. The first season will focus on the first book in the series, The Take, I hear. Netflix declined comment.

Described as being in the vein of The Day of the Jackal and The Bourne Identity, The Take centers on Simon Riske, a freelance industrial spy. Riske lives largely under the radar above his auto garage in London until he gets involved in the chase for a stolen letter that could upend the balance of power in the Western world, set...

Producer and entrepreneur Alex Lieberman has launched Bright West Entertainment, a new film finance and production company with a special focus on backing documentary content.

The company is making a big splash this month. Three of its next feature documentaries — “On the Line: The Richard Williams Story,” “Subject” and “Rudy! A Documusical” — are set to world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival, which kicks off on Wednesday.

“I’m focused on financing interesting stories and trying to serve as a catalyst to help projects get made,” Lieberman tells Variety. “I don’t have a brand filter or a set type of story that I’m interested in making. It’s not original to say this, but I love human stories.”

Filmmakers who have worked with Lieberman say he’s committed to giving them the resources they need to get their projects finished and praise him for understanding the difficult road...

Distinguished British actor Tim McMullan is playing the role of detective Atticus Pünd in the PBS Masterpiece, BritBox U.K. and Eleventh Hour Films series adaptation of “Magpie Murders,” Anthony Horowitz’s international bestseller.

Previously announced actor Timothy Spall had to step away from the production due to a scheduling clash.

The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art trained McMullan’s theater credits include “Anthony and Cleopatra,” “Twelfth Night,” “Man vs Superman,” “Father and Sons” and “The Master and Margarita.” His screen credits include “The Crown” as Robin Woods, Bernard Jenkins in “Brexit” and Sonny in “Patrick Melrose.”

Joining McMullan in the cast is BAFTA-nominated Daniel Mays.

“Magpie Murders” revolves around the character Susan Ryeland, played by Oscar-nominee Lesley Manville (“Phantom Thread”), an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript by bestselling mystery writer Alan Conway, featuring Conway’s detective Atticus Pünd – and has little idea it will change her life.

Warrior Nun Season 2 is officially in the works at Netflix, allowing Ava and the rest of the Order of the Cruciform Sword to carry on in their increasingly-murky war against demonkind and other deceitful celestials.

Netflix took a more personal approach to its renewal announcement for Warrior Nun by posting a Covid-era-indicative video conference conducted by showrunner Simon Barry and cast members Alba Baptista, Toya Turner, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri-Young and Olivia Delcan. While seemingly held under the pretense of reflecting on happy memories of the show’s spring 2019 shoot, Barry is shown dropping the renewal news to the bunch in a cheeky, trolling fashion.

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “The Leftovers” series finale — Season 3, Episode 8, “The Book of Nora.”]

Of the many emotional moments packed into the 72-minute “Leftovers” finale, hearing Laurie’s voice on the other end of Nora’s emergency phone call was perhaps the most shocking. After spending the past two weeks (or two months, if you’re a TV critic given access early on) coming to terms with Laurie’s decision to “go scuba diving,” it took a minute (or a day) to wrap your head around the fact that she didn’t kill herself.

While obviously an ecstatic, life-affirming, “holy fucking shit Laurie is holding her grandchild right now” moment, it demanded a shift in understanding from what we’d come to accept at the end of Episode 6.

It was recently announced that Fede Alvarez will be directing an adaptation of The Girl in the Spider's Web as his next film, and now his next project after that has also been set, as Deadline reports that the Don't Breathe and Evil Dead remake director will helm a new movie set within the world of Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

According to Deadline, Alvarez will direct a new Labyrinth movie that is not a remake but rather an expansion of Jim Henson's beloved 1986 film that starred the late David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King and Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, the teenager who enters the magical realm of the Labyrinth to get her little brother back.

Jay Basu, who is also co-writing The Girl in the Spider's Web (based on David Lagercrantz's book of the same name), has been set to co-write the script (with Alvarez) for the new Labyrinth movie.

Harmony is an ideal. If everyone just got along, the world could be one big campfire sing-along, a Coke commercial writ large, right? But unfortunately that’s not human nature; certainly not as it pertains to our fellow earthly citizens, or to the globe itself. The ‘70s saw the rise of the eco horror film; “Mother Nature’s back, and she’s pissed” practically emblazoned across posters from the likes of Frogs (1972), Phase IV (1974), and Day of the Animals (1977). Australia threw their hat in the ring at the tail end of the cycle with Long Weekend (1979), a fascinating look at environmental and personal disharmony.

With the massive success of Carrie (1976), telekinesis was quickly added to horror filmmakers’ arsenal as a new weapon to terrify audiences. The immense power of the film left some reticent to tackle the subject for fear of falling short; however Brian DePalma stepped up to the plate with The Fury (1978), and that same year fledgling Australian filmmaker Richard Franklin made Patrick, a suspenseful, darkly humorous tale of a nurse and the psychokinetically disposed comatose patient that loves her.

Released on its native soil October 1st, 1978, Patrick was bought up for distribution by over 30 countries after a successful screening at the Cannes Film Festival, easily earning back its $400,000 Aud budget (half of which was chipped in by the Australian Film Commission). More good news followed as Patrick was well received by critics, and rightly so – it’s a tense little beaut with an emphasis on character and scattered shocks throughout.

Chicago – No one would call talented one-man-show artist John Michael conventional, at least if they are in their right mind. So ironically, after tackling sexually transmitted disease in his last solo performance, he takes on the vagrancies of old age and caring for elderly patients in his truly heartfelt “Dementia Me.”

“Dementia Me” will run at the Den Theatre within the Wicker Park neighborhood in Chicago from August 15th through September 12th, 2016, on consecutive Mondays at 8pm (details below). This solo performance is a tour de force, using mostly balloons and party favors for props – Michael even invites everyone to a “birthday party” for one of the patients before the show. The emotions in the show will affect anyone who has known the heartbreak of seeing loved ones become less of themselves as they age (which is practically everybody), and how that state of being leads the main character himself to other revelations.
