Following Harrison Butker’s speech, which initially garnered attention for its divisive nature, Katy Perry was prompted to step in and endorse inclusivity. Thereafter, the singer showered her unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community by taking the bold step of heavily editing Butker’s speech to align it with the spirit of Pride Month.

Katy Perry Calls Out Harrison Butker by Editing His Controversial Speech

With the beginning of Pride Month, Katy Perry marked the occasion with a bold move as she heavily edited the Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s highly controversial commencement speech.

Under his direction, Atari has returned to its roots in premium game development and publishing,...

Exclusive: Wavelength, the NYC and London-based film production and branded content studio has promoted two and hired one.

The studio’s UK Managing Director, Dan Bowen, will now take on the role of Senior Vice President of Branded Content while former Head of Studios, Mike Prall, now serves as Vice President of Productions.

“We are thrilled to announce these strategic changes as we continue to evolve and expand our global footprint,” explains Jenifer Westphal. “Dan and Mike have been instrumental in shaping our success,...

“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” made a surprise appearance on the theatrical release calendar this October and has already become the second-highest grossing concert documentary ever, drawing in fans who wanted to re-experience her Eras Tour in movie form and those who weren’t able to catch this summer’s concert. But while “The Eras Tour” movie still isn’t the top music doc (yet), it’s something of an outlier when it comes to just how much it’s made at the box office — $178 million and counting.

Several other big-name musicians and bands have released documentaries about their tours or certain albums, but the only ones to come close to the success of “The Eras Tour” include Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber, so far. Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour documentary, slated for a Dec. 1 release, could further shake up the stats and the box office.

Below we’ve rounded up...

Katy Perry and Russell Brand married in October 2010, a year after meeting when Perry had a cameo in Brand’s movie “Get Him to the Greek.” They announced their divorce 14 months later, and the “Roar” singer has since described her ex-husband as “controlling” and “really hurtful.”

As she said on “60 Minutes Australia” in 2020, “It was just like a tornado, it was everything happening at once.”

Perry and Brand’s relationship is under the microscope in light of new allegations of rape and sexual assault against the comedian. As fans of Perry’s recall, Brand told his then-wife he was divorcing her via text, moments before she was due onstage ahead of a major concert. The moment was captured in Perry’s “Part of Me” concert documentary.

Never forget when Russell Brand dumped Katy Perry via text (!) and had her *in bits* before a huge show. You Don’T treat...

Celebrity documentaries run the gamut. There are hagiographies, which all but deify their subjects.

Bonnie McKee was at one of the lowest, darkest moments of her life when she had a validating experience with Lana Del Rey. The singer approached her at a party in 2019 and held up her phone to show what she had been listening to on her way there: McKee’s 2015 song “Bombastic.” McKee was shocked that Del Rey even remembered who she was; they had only met once at a Coachella party years prior.

They exchanged phone numbers that night and spoke on the phone days later. Del Rey said...

Fast rising Irish singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot shared yesterday his new single “Heaven” ahead of the July 21st release of his eagerly anticipated debut album Victory.

He has already landed two UK Top 20 hits with the Gold-certified “All For You” and the Silver-certified “I’ll Be Waiting”, which have both climbed charts all over the world en route to a career total of 300 million+ streams to date. Always eager to connect with fans in a personal and innovative way, Cian is now approaching 7 million listeners at Spotify, as well as 4.4 million followers at TikTok. He also recently enjoyed a spotlight moment when he was invited to join The Jonas Brothers during their show at The Royal Albert Hall.

An artist who constantly finds inspiration from the love and commitment that comes from his family, “Heaven” sees Cian reflecting upon his bond with his brother. It’s a lifetime’s story in a four-minute song,...

Back in 2012, Katy Perry stood her ground on “Part of Me,” singing all about her newfound invincibility. “This is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me,” she declared. Unfortunately, thanks to a verdict from the judge ruling over her longtime trademark battle with Australian fashion designer Katie Perry, her own stage name isn’t one of the things that can’t be taken away from her.

“This is a tale of two women, two teenage dreams and one name,” Justice Brigitte Markovic wrote in her ruling,...

American Idol judge Katy Perry has sung on the show for many years, and it's time to revisit her 10 best performances. Katy skyrocketed to fame in 2008 with her hit album One of the Boys, which featured the single "I Kissed a Girl." She has since become one of the best-selling music artists of all-time. When ABC rebooted American Idol in 2018, Katy was the perfect choice to judge the show. She has served on the panel with Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan for the past six seasons.

As an American Idol judge, Katy not only gives critiques to the contestants, but also serves as a mentor. She offers them advice about how they can improve their craft, and is their cheerleader, celebrating their successes. Katy has performed on the show many times, including before she was a judge. Her American Idol finale songs with the contestants are some of the most anticipated of the season.

Katy Perry will be in residency in Las Vegas beginning this October. She’ll be playing eight shows for the residency titled Play, and it is being held at The Theatre At Resorts World Las Vegas. Perry will also be doing a couple of shows at a Japanese music festival.

Invisible Narratives has hired Apple Music veteran Julie Pilat as president of music.

Founded by CEO Adam Goodman, Invisible Narratives is a shopping and entertainment company “at the intersection of the creator economy, the crypto economy and the entertainment business.”

In her new role, Pilat will develop new partnerships across the music industry, empower musicians and fans and use storytelling and technology to monetize video content across fandoms. She will report directly to Goodman.

Prior to joining Invisible Narratives, Pilat spent eight years at Apple Music as a key executive. In 2013, she was recruited by Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre to be the first head of music at Beats Music. Upon Apple’s acquisition of the company, Pilat spearheaded the launch of Beats 1, the first radio station to broadcast live from L.A., New York and London to more than 150 countries worldwide.

“Play” time has begun in Las Vegas.

On Wednesday night, Katy Perry launched her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency at the Resorts World Theater. Aptly titled “Play,” the show is quintessential Perry, who indulged the emotional, the over-the-top, the whimsical, the psychedelic, and even the cheesy over the course of 95 minutes.

The concert — which the artist is referring to as “Perry Playland” — amounted to a giant singalong, which seemed to be exactly what she had in mind. Just one day before opening night, Perry posted a video of the setlist...

“America’s Got Talent” is no stranger to quick-change performers, but until Léa Kyle showed up, “AGT” had never seen a quick-change magician. That’s what judge Heidi Klum decided Kyle was, when she gave the 25-year-old contestant her Golden Buzzer on Tuesday’s episode of the NBC competition.

Kyle, who is a French native, performed an amazing quick-change routine to “Swish Swish” and “Part of Me” by Katy Perry, moving in and out of outfits so quickly that it was invisible to the naked eye. Klum was so taken with Kyle’s ability to swap her clothes faster than a model backstage at an haute-couture show that she decided Kyle deserved to move right on to the “AGT” Season 16 live shows.

Of course, Kyle almost died of excitement when she got the Golden Buzzer from the “Queen of Fashion,” as she called her.

“I’ve got to tell you, we...

Zooey Deschanel's forehead has officially arrived. On Friday, March 26, the New Girl alum took to Instagram to show off a photo of herself without her signature bangs, which she labeled "Proof I have a forehead." She also wrote in the caption of the mirror selfie, "For all the doubters..." People did have some doubts—specifically, that this was a pic of the 500 Days of Summer actress at all. One fan joked, "baby this is katy perry." Zooey recently appeared alongside her famous doppelganger in the music video for Katy's song "Not the End of the World." In the video, aliens mistake Zooey for the "Part of Me" artist—and this recent...

In its earliest moments, Demi Lovato’s new documentary series looks familiar and even comforting to fans of the genre of backstage concert confessionals. We see Lovato doing a pre-show cheer with her backup dancers, performing framed by massive screens of her own face, sleeping on the jet, racing from quick-change to quick-change. Throughout, she is too much a pro to betray any emotion beyond anticipation of what well-rehearsed step lies ahead. These beats are as familiar to the music-doc connoisseur as are any of Lovato’s songs, and they’re only really notable when they’re subverted — like in the masterful 2012 film “Katy Perry: Part of Me,” in which the “Firework” singer, having just been informed that her marriage is over, weeps backstage before forcing herself into the pneumatic tube that leads to the stage and painting a grin on.

“Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil,” a four-episode series made for YouTube,...

Exclusive: In a highly competitive situation, Apple has given a straight-to-series order for an untitled four-part documentary series from acclaimed filmmakers Brian Lazarte and James Lee Hernandez, directors of the docuseries McMillion$. Multiple bidders were in the mix and it was a seven-figure deal, sources said.

The new untitled docuseries tells the unbelievable true story of one of the largest scams in government history. Lazarte & Hernandez will produce through their Fun Meter Productions banner. Their 6-part docuseries McMillion$ bowed on HBO in February and told the true story of how $24 million was stolen from the McDonald’s Monopoly game of the 1990s, the mystery mastermind who orchestrated the scam, and the FBI agents who pursued the criminal. Lazarte’s previous credits include Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D, HBO’s Emmy-winning miniseries Sonic Highways and Showtime’s Time of Death. Hernandez’s credits include the Emmy Award-winning Feeln docuseries Wonder Women...

Exclusive: UTA has signed McMillion$ filmmakers Brian Lazarte and James Lee Hernandez as well as their company Fun Meter Productions for worldwide representation in all areas.

Lazarte and Hernandez’s critically acclaimed six-part docuseries McMillion$ bowed in February. The project, which was from Unrealistic Ideas and Fun Meter Productions, chronicles the true story of how $24 million was stolen from the McDonald’s Monopoly game of the 1990s, the mystery mastermind who orchestrated the scam, and the FBI agents who pursued the criminal. The pair created, directed, wrote and edited the docuseries. They also served as executive producers alongside Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, and Archie Gips.

Less than three months after exiting their Magical Elves banner, “Top Chef” and “Project Runway” producers Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth are setting up shop once again.

The longtime business partners have launched new media and content company Alfred Street Industries, named for the house on the West Hollywood street where Magical Elves was formed.

Alfred Street is already producing National Geographic’s recently rebooted “Brain Games,” hosted by Keegan-Michael Key, with other series and projects across multiple networks and platforms set to go into production in 2019.

Joining the venture is veteran producer and executive Dan Volpe, who will serve as senior vice president of content and production. Volpe has worked previously with the duo on “Top Chef” and “Project Greenlight.”

Cutforth and Lipsitz exited Magical Elves, which they co-founded in 2001, in February, after it was acquired in 2014 by British production group Tinopolis. They launched “Runway” in 2004, and both continue...

Exclusive: Imagine Documentaries has begun production on Dads, a feature documentary that Bryce Dallas Howard is directing. The film is described as a humorous look at what it means to be a father in the modern era across the globe. It’s the first feature length documentary set under the banner of the recently formed Imagine Documentaries division led by Justin Wilkes.

Imagine Entertainment Chairmen Brian Grazer and Ron Howard will produce with Wilkes. Imagine Entertainment Co-Chairman Michael Rosenberg is exec producing. Howard, of course, is the daughter of actor-turned-director and Imagine principal.

Said Ron Howard: “Fatherhood has factored into so many of the stories – both comedies and dramas – I’ve directed and produced, and of course, my experience as a son and a father of four has defined me on a foundational level. But this project will go deeper and be much more revealing in its excavation of the...

Exclusive: Emmy and Peabody-winning producer Sara Bernstein has been set as executive vice president at Imagine Documentaries, the recently launched division of Imagine Entertainment that is headed by president Justin Wilkes. Bernstein is a 19-year HBO vet, integral in many of the payweb’s seminal documentary films. Bernstein joins Wilkes in leading the development and production of premium feature docs and non-scripted series, and she will leverage her longstanding relationships within that community.

“I couldn’t possibly think of a better partner than Sara,” Wilkes. “For years, I’ve admired her work as a producer, an executive and as someone who is beloved by talent across the board. I’m so excited that we get to work side-by-side and build this new venture together.”

At HBO, the docus that Bernstein has produced and overseen include Judd Apatow’s Emmy-nominated The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling, Laura Poitras’ Oscar and Emmy winner Citizenfour,...

Guy takes a belated look at the fourth (but possibly not final) film in the Lethal Weapon franchise…

Spoilers lie ahead for Lethal Weapons 2 to 4.

See related The Oa: 10 questions (sort of) answered The Oa: Netflix renews for season 2 Netflix's The Oa: spoiler-free review

At the beginning of 2016, Den of Geek gave me the opportunity to rank the Lethal Weapon films in order of merit and then write about each one individually. This made me very happy, as it is a franchise for which I have a great deal of passion – both positive and negative. But like a reluctant hit man stuck in a clichéd redemption arc, I just couldn’t finish the job.

By the time I had produced a well-reasoned account of why the third in the series was objectively the worst – an assertion I still stand by, despite what you’re about to read...

Matt Smith knows what Meghan Markle is going through... sort of.

The Crown star, who plays a Greek foreigner who marries into the royal family on the regal Netflix drama, was joined by co-star Claire Foy on at EW Spotlight hosted by SiriusXM’s Jessica Shaw -- airing Thursday, Dec. 7 on SiriusXM’s Entertainment Weekly radio show -- where they discussed how the former Suits actress' life could change as she marries Prince Harry and joins the monarchy.

"She's gonna have to wait behind those doors and be part of the ballet," he added. "That's such a difficult world to entertain, and live in, and be normal...

It’s always worth giving James Cameron the benefit of the doubt. Before release, Titanic was widely seen as an overly extravagant disaster in waiting, before becoming the highest grossing film of all-time. In run-up up to Avatar, many were questioning who this movie about weird blue alien cat people would appeal to. It then passed Titanic and became the highest grossing pic of all-time. Are you seeing a pattern here? Despite that, 20th Century Fox’s decision to go full steam ahead with four Avatar sequels feels a teeny bit foolhardy, especially as people don’t seem to be clamoring for them.

But Cameron is still forging ahead with production on Avatar 2 and 3, which will make use of cutting-edge underwater motion capture and, presumably, the very pinnacle of 3D technology. And though he’s a famously decisive, confident director, even he realizes that he’s not invincible.

In an interview with Vanity Fair,...

It seemed obvious enough at the time: After breaking out with his first lead role in F. Gary Gray’s 2015 biopic “Straight Outta Compton,” earning acclaim and awards for his note-perfect portrayal of rap royalty Eric “Eazy-e” Wright, actor Jason Mitchell was about to become a huge star. Usually, that sort of attention means that actors can cherry pick roles from bountiful offers.

That’s not what happened. Instead, Mitchell landed a handful of small roles in mostly underseen indies like “Barry” and “Vincent N Roxxy,” and started to worry that “Straight Outta Compton” was a one-time thing.

Two years later, the tide has turned again, with Mitchell garnering accolades for his turn in Dee Rees’ hard-hitting historical drama “Mudbound.” Ironically, he still has “Straight Outta Compton” to thank for a part that seems poised to earn him even more awards.

“To be honest, nothing big had ever been offered to me before,...

[Editor’s note: Spoilers for “Mr. Robot” Season 3, Episode 6, “eps3.5_kill-pr0cess.inc” follow.]

There’s a chance that we may have reached the halfway point of “Mr. Robot” as a series, according to creator Sam Esmail.

Part of the “Mr. Robot” narrative has always been how Esmail originally started writing the project as a feature film, before realizing at a certain point that it would work better as a TV show. And as he recently told IndieWire during an NBC Universal press event, the “big mile markers” of that original screenplay are still, according to him, “in line with what I had in mind for the feature.”

This includes the final moments of Season 3, Episode 6, “eps3.5_kill-pr0cess.inc” — specifically, the 71 bombings that may have killed thousands while Elliot was distracted trying to save one E-Corp facility in New York City.

In fact, Esmail pinpointed this event as the midpoint of his original script. By IndieWire’s math, this would mean that there...

The Internet reacted with a wide range of fiery emotions when Kim Kardashian dressed up as the late Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla this Halloween. One tweeted: “Kim Kardashian dressed as Selena makes me so uncomfortable.” Another wrote: “Part of me just isn’t okay with Kim Kardashian dressing up as Selena for Halloween. I doubt she appreciates how amazing she was.” But Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla only had love for Kardashian’s costume choice.

Nerds, writers, people of the internet- we have failed. Months ago, Stranger Things producer and director Shawn Levy revealed a spoiler regarding Season 2 on accident, and no one caught on to it! You're probably wondering what it could be? Well, if you have already watched Stranger Things, read on, otherwise... spoilers. It's in the title dude.

Months ago, while at Comic-Con, Shawn Levy was doing an interview with Collider, talking about the characters. It was a pretty run of the mill interview, and a question was asked about some of the characters, and Levy made a statement that you would think people might have theorized about, I mean, at least the nutjob conspiracy theorists, but no one did. Levy says it best himself:

"I think I can say this now, by the way, I did an interview at Comic-Con, I think, where someone asked, 'Oh, do you think Bob is gonna be beloved?...

Kenneth Branagh’s Murder On The Orient Express – 2017’s take on Agatha Christie’s 1934 dead-body caper – reminds of a cinematic time capsule that was dug up and never dusted off. It’s not the first, nor even fourth time Christie’s words would be uttered by actors aboard their high-class locomotive prison. Sidney Lumet’s 1974 classic shines with old-Hollywood prestige, Alfred Molina stars in a 2001 modern-day take, Japan televised a 2015 miniseries event overseas – so how would Branagh differentiate? Apparently by staying devout to Christie’s 1930s aesthetic, conception and tone. A relic whose connotation translates to “Back in my day!,” rolling slowly down the tracks for an almost two-hour whodunit that runs out of steam far before reaching desired conclusions.

Branagh stands-in as star detective Hercule Poirot, an investigator whose reputation is outshined only by his feral-animal-lookin’ mustache. In Istanbul, with the help of philandering companion Bouc (Tom Bateman), Poirot...

Kim Kardashian ended her Halloween homage to music legends with a bang: dressing up as the late Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla. “My fave Selena!” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star captioned the video she posted on Instagram.

But it wasn’t everyone’s fave.

Over the weekend, Kardashian’s costume choices provoked strong reactions — from praise to scorn — for dressing up as iconic women of color. First, she morphed into the beloved late R&B singer Aaliyah. Then, she donned a jumpsuit that matched the one Quintanilla wore for her last concert before being shot to death by the president of her fan club,...

Lee Brice’s little girl is getting her own song!

Shortly after releasing “Boy,” the lead single off his self-titled fourth studio album, the 38-year-old country singer welcomed his third child with wife Sarah, a daughter named Trulee Nanette. Though he didn’t write the hit, Brice recorded it in tribute to his two sons, 9-year-old Takota and 3-year-old Ryker.

Now, Et has the exclusive premiere of “The Best Part of Me,” the last track off his record, which drops Nov. 3. The best part? It's all Trulee's. “My little girl had to have a song of her very own,” Brice tells Et. “This is it, and it’s very special to me.”

Noah Cyrus had a big night Friday opening for Katy Perry on her Witness World Tour at Madison Square Garden in front of the Cyrus clan.

Toward the end of her set, the “Make Me (Cry)” singer, 17, brought her father, Billy Ray Cyrus onstage with her to perform his 1992 hit “Achy Breaky Heart” — and the audience got an even bigger surprise when older sister Miley, 24, joined the duo soon after.

The two sisters showed while they may have grown up in Hollywood, they still have some serious country moves, with the duo dancing around as their dad did a guitar solo.

Katy Perry took a moment during her Witness: The Tour show on Friday to speak from her heart about Sunday’s Las Vegas massacre, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

“My wish is for some freakin’ peace! Don’t ya think?” the singer, 32, told the audience inside New York City’s Madison Square Garden before belting out her 2012 hit “Part of Me.”

“This is one of my favorite songs to sing – I want to dedicate it to you guys. You chose to come out and overcome this dumb fear,” Perry said. “You chose to come into the community...

2017-09-06T12:31:41-07:00Star Wars Directors Are Dropping Like Flies

The original directors of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the Han Solo movie, an untitled Star Wars anthoogy film, and now Star Wars Episode IX have been fired. What's up, Lucasfilm?

Via The Hollywood Reporter.

Call it the curse of a galaxy far, far away. With the announcement Tuesday that Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have parted ways, the Star Wars franchise continues its streak as the most troubled blockbuster series around when it comes to keeping directors. Trevorrow is the fourth ousted helmer from the franchise in the last two years.

Is the Resistance in trouble, or is everything still on target? The Hollywood Reporter's Graeme McMillan, Ryan Parker and Aaron Couch discuss what Trevorrow's exit means for Star Wars: Episode IX, Lucasfilm's hiring practices and more.

That cackling noise you hear isn’t Pennywise, but New Line executives laughing all the way to the bank.

The review embargo for It has finally lifted, and the critical consensus has deemed Andy Muschietti’s reboot to be a delightful King adaptation that balances a coming-of-age yarn with electrifying horror. Which is just as well given Muschietti originally feared that his creative license would have left the legendary author none too pleased.

Alas, that’s not the case; not only did Stephen King take no issue with the plot changes made within It Part 1 – The Losers Club, but the horror mastermind was also left pleasantly surprised by the quality of Andy Muschietti’s final product. Among the review extracts below, you’ll find that Friday’s long-anticipated horror release draws comparisons to the iconic Stand By Me, while there’s also praise for Bill Skarsgård and his deeply unsettling performance as Pennywise.

So Season 7 is finally finished and we have only six more episodes left of Game of Thrones in total, there could also be a bit of a wait for Season 8, with many people predicting a 2019 release, and from what HBO has been saying recently, that is looking every likely indeed!

Let’s start by mentioning here that there could be potential Spoilers for Season 8 (If any of this is accurate) and definite Spoilers if you are not finished watching Season 7 yet. You Have Been Warned!!

With only six epsiodes left, it's hard to get a feel for what theories we have left to explore.

So far in the previous two Game of Theories articles we have made several predictions based on popular fan theories, firstly I have a slight follow up to two of these theories.

Being a mom during the holidays can make Santa Claus' job look like a holly jolly cakewalk. As the head of a dysfunctional family in Craig Anderson's Red Christmas, Dee Wallace not only has to worry about keeping the peace, she also has to try to keep her family members in one piece when a killer crashes their festivities. With the holiday horror film out now in select theaters, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Wallace about her multifaceted new role, and we also had the chance to reflect on her amazing film career, including the legacy of Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and her experience playing Cynthia Strode in Rob Zombie's Halloween.

Thanks so much for taking the time to talk and congratulations on Red Christmas. I’m a big fan of your career, and one thing I’ve always appreciated is that you...

Saturday Night Live alums Tina Fey, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon all made a return to the news desk on the second episode of the show's "Summer Edition" of Weekend Update on Thursday.

Fey, who is a University of Virginia grad, showed up to speak out against the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. over the weekend. Clad in a Uva sweatshirt, Fey told hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, “It broke my heart to see these evil forces descend upon Charlottesville.”

She then bashed President Trump — or Donny John, as she refers to him — for saying that "he condemns violence on many sides."

"I’m feeling sick because I’ve seen Raiders of the Lost Ark and I wasn’t confused by it. Nazis are always bad. I don’t care what you say,...

Luke Skywalker himself will now forever be connected to San Diego, California. That's because over the weekend city leaders dedicated a street in honor of actor Mark Hamill. A street is now named after him in Clairemont – the very neighborhood Hamill spent several years of his childhood in the 1960s.

Mark Hamill tweeted out photos of the large event(below), and the unveiling of "Mark Hamill Drive."

Hamill visited his old neighborhood for the street dedication ceremony. Hamill attended Hale Junior High School in Clairemont in the early 1960s, lived with his family in the 5900 block of Castleton Drive at the time. Hamill came from a military family so he moved a lot, Hamill said he went to nine schools in 12 years. But he spent the longest amount of time in San Diego. At the ceremony he said:

"Part of me is honored because the community reached out to make...

I loved Stranger Things. It was beautiful, and while many people say it harped on the nostalgia of 80's movies, I ask, what's wrong with that? 80's movies were great and I wish we had more movies that used that era's sensibilities. But besides the nostalgia, the show itself was creative and was obviously an interesting and ambitious story that someone wanted to tell, and apparently, they are ready to tell even more but are gonna get a bit darker.

Shawn Levy, who is an executive producer and director for Stranger Things recently opened up about the upcoming second season to THR, and he hyped up some of the things to expect.

"Season two makes the Demogorgon look quaint. I was just in the edit room with the brothers yesterday, and we’re like, ‘this is definitely darker, I hope everyone’s down with this,’ because the threats to Hawkins...

Welcome to another installment of Movies to Show My Son. This is the blog series were I discuss movies I can’t wait to show my son in the future. I’ll be covering my own personal experience with the movie, movie and life lessons I hope he will learn, and lastly my concerns about showing said film. This week’s film is Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

My Memory:

What surprised me about my memories of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is how I do not have many of them. As someone who was born in 1984 I was the right age for It, but for whatever reason, it was not one of those showcase films I watched as a child. Part of me thinks it was because my parents did not allow me to watch it, and after rewatching it recently I could understand why.

There are some moments that do stick out.

This weekend marks the final days of the 2017 Dances With Film festival being held at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. Later tonight, director Adam Ripp’s supernaturally themed thriller Devil’s Whisper will be enjoying its world premiere at the historic cinema.

Ripp is no stranger to the world of indie filmmaking, as he’s produced movies like Joe Lynch’s Everly and Gambit, and has both directed and produced in the world of television. His newest project follows a teenager named Alex (Luca Oriel) who crosses paths with a mysterious box containing a demonic presence, and he mistakenly unleashes the sinister spirit, which wreaks havoc on Alex’s life and forces him to confront the evil that looks to consume his very soul.

During our interview, Ripp discussed the inspiration behind his approach to Devil’s Whisper, finding Oriel for his lead, and more.

I would love to...
