Movies have always had a way of connecting people and communities, as well as challenging the typical norms of society. While everyone loves a classic rom-com, things go up a notch when a movie tries to break barriers by telling stories that, in one way or another, push against societal taboos, especially when it comes to love, acceptance, and identity.

Roshan Sethi’s A Nice Indian Boy is such a movie that promises to bring a refreshing take on romance by exploring a same-sex relationship, that too with a mix of traditional Indian family values. With changing times, more and more filmmakers have embraced such storylines.

From director Aimee Kuge, the upcoming indie horror film Cannibal Mukbang will put a horror movie twist on the mukbang trend, which is described by Wikipedia as “an online audiovisual broadcast in which a host consumes various quantities of food while interacting with the audience.” In Cannibal Mukbang, as you might have guessed, the food is people.

Jackrabbit Media brings Cannibal Mukbang to Digital on March 25, 2025.

In the upcoming horror movie, “Shy and looking for love, Mark quickly becomes smitten with the outgoing and mysterious Ash, who somehow, much to his surprise, reciprocates the attraction. But as his feelings for her intensify, so does his unexpected submersion into Ash’s biggest love: the wild world of mukbanging. And with it, lots of bloodshed.”

April Consalo, Nate Wise, and Clay Von Carlowitz star in Cannibal Mukbang.

Perfetti and Sunday join previously announced cast members Jason Bateman, David Harbour, Linda Cardellini, and Richard Jenkins. The show was picked up for seven episodes at HBO back in November and is now in pre-production.

Perfetti currently stars in the hit ABC mockumentary series “Abbott Elementary” in the role of Jacob Hill. The show is currently airing its fourth season and has been renewed for a fifth. He has also appeared in shows like HBO’s “The Night Of...

Chris Perfetti and Joy Sunday (Wednesday) have joined HBO‘s seven-episode limited series Dtf St. Louis from writer, director, showrunner and executive producer Steve Conrad.

They join the previously announced cast that includes Jason Bateman, David Harbour, Linda Cardellini and Richard Jenkins.

Dtf St. Louis, currently in production, is about a love triangle among adults experiencing middle-age malaise that leads to one of them ending up dead.

Set and shot in his hometown of Syracuse, New York, with family members even making cameos, “Plainclothes” is clearly very personal to writer/director Carmen Emmi. It’s much more than its plot synopsis, which tells of a 1990s period piece about an undercover police officer luring gay men into the crime of indecent exposure. In reality, “Plainclothes” is a meditation on the process of accepting oneself even as society and loved ones deem it wrong.

English actor Tom Blyth, most recognizable from the MGM+ series “Billy the Kid” and “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” impresses as Lucas, the cop. Blythe’s performance is an interior one, where what Lucas does is not as important as how he feels inside. Capturing that is a special gift and Blyth delivers. Early on, it’s obvious that Lucas compartmentalizes his own desires with ease while performing his job.

It didn’t take much for Russell Tovey to connect with “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbird’ star Tom Blyth. The actors first met on Zoom before filming writer-director Carmen Emmi’s gay indie drama “Plainclothes.”

“Instantly I was just like, ‘This guy’s the real deal,’” Tovey says on this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast. “He’s a Brit and I’m a Brit and we’re both out there doing our thing. I was so charmed and excited to work with him and he is a real actor, and he’s got an absolute passion for independent film. He is all about honesty and authenticity in telling the story, and that’s what I’m for. The relationship between those two and their connection and their chemistry is fundamental to this story working.”

Those two in “Plainclothes” are Lucas (Blyth), an undercover cop in 1990s Syracuse,...

We knew from the moment we first saw All Of Us Strangers all the way back in January that Andrew Haigh's film, a haunting queer romance centred around Andrew Scott's isolated writer Adam and the connection he makes with Paul Mescal's sad-eyed drifter Harry, was special. Is it a ghost story? A fever dream? A tangible construct formed of a grieving man's subconscious? We didn't — and still don't truly — know, but by God we felt every exquisite moment of its magnetising melancholy, its smouldering sensuality. So much so that when we came to write Empire's 'Best Movies Of 2024 (So Far)' list in June, Haigh's movie sat comfortably in podium place on the list. And now, a full twelve months since the movie first released stateside, All Of Us Strangers has taken root even deeper in our hearts — and soared right to the top of our Best Movies Of 2024 list.

Just over two years after audiences last saw Hawkins nearly destroyed by the Upside Down, Gaten Matarazzo is sharing an update on Stranger Things season 5's filming. The hit Netflix show has served as Matarazzo and other young actors' breakout roles, starring as a group of friends in a fictional small Indiana town in the '80s as they frequently combat the otherworldly forces of the parallel dimension known as the Upside Down.

As the classic Louis Armstrong tune goes, When youre smiling, the whole world smiles with you, and were definitely grinning ear to ear today as Smile 2 has just dropped its first teaser. Weve known now for a little bit over a year that a sequel to the 2022 horror flick was on the way and, with its release date set for October 18, its about time for the marketing team to begin dropping teasers to flesh out the under wraps plot. The follow-up will see the return of our beloved scream king, Kyle Gallner (The Passenger) who now has the curse after watching Sosie Bacons (13 Reasons Why) Rose take her life at the end of Smile. We dont expect Rose to return for the second film but, because the entity loves to trick its victims, we cant completely rule it out. Joining the cast as newbies to the spooky film...

It’s safe to say a lot of people had a lot of problems with the switch from HBO Max to Max, but there was at least one upside to the streaming shakeup. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the excellent queer stories floating around Warner Bros. Discovery’s platform.

During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and help subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising move for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you do, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier.

Diane Keaton has impressed the audience with remarkable performances in timeless classics like The Godfather, Manhattan, and Reds. She has quite the collection of awards to her name including some very prestigious ones and why wouldn’t she? She’s Diane Keaton, after all. Diane Keaton redefined the modern heroine in cinema and brought absolute authenticity to every character she set out to conquer.

One of the finest works of Diane Keaton’s career so far has got to be the 1977 film, Annie Hall, where she played the titular character. The actress’ performance was so raw and well-received that she went on to win her first and only Academy Award. However, she starred in yet another brilliant film in the same year that was equally deserving of the nomination and many fans believe that she should’ve won an Oscar for this film instead.

With the 2024 Tony Awards a few weeks away and the record-breaking Broadway run of “Merrily We Roll Along” coming to a close in a little over a month, three-time Tony nominee Jonathan Groff is looking back on the roles that shaped this first stage in his career. In an interview in The New Yorker, Groff recalled the impact performing in the visually-stunning and narratively-meta film “The Matrix Resurrections” had on his psyche.

“Getting to play Agent Smith really unlocked rage inside of me that I didn’t know was there,” Groff said. “That’s helped me so much with ‘Merrily,’ particularly in the first act. Learning the kung fu was, like, months of fight training. They called me the Savage, because I was so into it. We were shooting a big fight sequence with Keanu, and, after the first few takes, I remember Lana [Wachowski] at the monitor, like, ‘Jonathan, come over here.

Our favorite Arconia residents are back for “Only Murders in the Building” Season 4, except this time, they’re heading to Hollywood.

Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin reprise their respective roles as a trio of amateur podcasting sleuths who try to solve the shocking Season 3 finale surrounding Charles’ (Martin) stunt double and friend Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch).

Per the official season synopsis, “Questioning whether she or Charles was the intended victim, their investigation leads them all the way to Los Angeles where a Hollywood studio is readying a film about the Only Murders podcast. As Charles, Oliver, and Mabel race back to New York, they embark on an even more epic journey — traversing their building’s courtyard to delve into the twisted lives of the Arconia’s West Tower residents.”

Meryl Streep and Da’Vine Joy Randolph also reprise their roles, along with new season stars Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria,...

Eureka Classics have done it again and have now released the first 4K restoration copy of the original 1927 The Cat and the Canary, available for the first time on blu-ray. Considering how many prestigious silent classics have been lost forever, it is quite a treat to sit through the full 86 minutes that have been meticulous preserved of what really is a prototype of its kind. One might consider the dark house comedy-thriller a rare beast, but it was extremely popular in its day, kicked off by this hugely popular silent, made just nine months before the release of the very first feature-length talking picture, The Jazz Singer.

Looking at The Cat and the Canary today, it is emblematic of everything we know about silent cinema, with its comic intertitles, wide-eyed acting and stereotypes, but viewed more seriously it was a hugely influential title.

Is one renaissance man about to take on another? Apparently so, as IndieWire has confirmed that Andrew Haigh has been tapped to helm a highly anticipated adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s lauded 2017 biography of Leonardo Da Vinci. Paramount had initially won the film rights when the book was first released and even cast the world’s 2nd most famous Leonardo, Di Caprio, in the lead role. Unfortunately, its version eventually went into turnaround allowing Universal to swoop in (perhaps with the use of Da Vinci’s ornithopter) and create a fresh package with Haigh. Initially it was announced that Christopher Hampton would be scripting the piece, but with Haigh now onboard, Universal looks to be giving him full creative oversight, perhaps in an effort to summon the spirit of Da Vinci himself.

Walter Isaacson is the preeminent biographer of the modern era. The former CEO of CNN and editor of Time,...

Universal Pictures has found its director for the high-priority Leonardo da Vinci film. “All of Us Strangers” helmer Andrew Haigh has signed on to direct and adapt Walter Isaacson’s acclaimed biography of the Renaissance man.

Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Isaacson’s book became one of the hottest literary properties when it hit the market in 2017. At the time, Universal was outbid by Paramount, which developed the project with Leonardo DiCaprio for years before putting it in turnaround. Universal quietly picked it up last year. The runaway bestseller connects da Vinci’s transcendent art, which includes the Mona Lisa painting hanging in the Louvre, to his trailblazing science — and shows how his genius was driven by an insatiable curiosity, careful observation and a whimsical imagination. The Italian icon lived from 1452-1519 during the height of the Renaissance,...
