It shouldn't come as a shock to learn that the top rated movie on Netflix at the moment is a holiday flick, but you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that the festive rom-com drawing the most eyeballs on the streamer right now, "Our Little Secret," features Lindsay Lohan. The "Mean Girls" star has been making a bit of a comeback of late via Netflix movies like "Falling for Christmas" and "Irish Wish," but she's earning particularly enthusiastic notices from critics for her portrayal of Avery, whose visit to her potential in-laws for Christmas gets complicated when she discovers her significant other's sister is dating her ex-boyfriend Logan (Ian Harding).

It's a recipe for yuletide disaster, and director Stephen Herek (the kids hockey classic "The Mighty Ducks") serves it up with all the hackneyed trimmings people seem to crave from holiday movies at this time of year. There's nothing wrong with that,...

‘Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi’ will begin filming soon. The upcoming ‘Dawn of the Jedi’, a prequel set earlier than any other movie in the series, will be directed by James Mangold. The script is co-written by Mangold and Beau Willimon (known for Andor and House of Cards).

Mangold has been nominated for two Oscars: one for writing the 2017 film ‘Logan’ and another as a producer on ‘Ford v. Ferrari’, which was up for Best Picture. Mangold has also directed ‘The Wolverine’ and ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.’

According to Empire magazine (via World of Reel and ScreenRant), ‘Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi’ is set to start filming soon. In an interview promoting his new Bob Dylan biopic, ‘A Complete Unknown’, starring Timothée Chalamet, Mangold mentioned that after wrapping up work on that project, which is already getting Oscar attention, he will begin shooting the new Star Wars movie.

When it comes to predicting the Oscar winner for Best Film Editing, you can’t go wrong by looking for the movie with the most cuts. Past winners “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2008), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016), “Ford v Ferrari” (2020), “Dune” (2022) and 2023’s champ “Everything Everywhere All at Once” included high-octane action sequences with frenetic cutting. A slew of winners — including “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999, “Black Hawk Down” (2002), “The Hurt Locker” (2010), “Hacksaw Ridge” (2017), “Dunkirk” (2018) and, to some extent, “Oppenheimer” (2024) — have been war pictures. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Film Editing.)

Oscar voters also embrace film editors who skillfully juggle multiple storylines, as was the case with “Traffic” (2001) and “Crash” (2006). And they like films that expertly inter-cut music with images, such as “Cabaret” (1973), “Chicago” (2003), “Whiplash” (2015), “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2019) and 2021 winner “Sound of Metal.” Special effects extravaganzas like “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2004) and “Gravity...

New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide. Timothée Chalamet stars and sings as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, the electric true story behind the rise of one of the most iconic singer-songwriters in history.

Here’s a look at the brand new trailer.

Wow – he sounds just like Dylan, especially with the singing.

James Mangold has directed two biopic movies. Walk The Link (2005), the story of Johnny Cash starring Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash. The...

An array of big name talent has joined Elle Fanning in “Rosebush Pruning” from “Motel Destino” and “Firebrand” director Karim Aïnouz for Mubi, The Match Factory and Fremantle company The Apartment.

Callum Turner (“Masters of the Air,” “The Boys in the Boat”), Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones & The Six,” “Zola”), Jamie Bell (“All of Us Strangers, Rocketman”), Lukas Gage (“The White Lotus,” “Euphoria”), Tracy Letts (“Lady Bird,” “Ford vs Ferrari”), Elena Anaya (“The Skin I Live In,” “MotherFatherSon”) and Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl,” the forthcoming “The Naked Gun”) are set to start in the film, which was first announced last year and is now shooting in Spain. Kristen Stewart and Josh O’Connor were originally attached to the project in lead roles alongside Fanning, but have been replaced by Keough and Turner, respectively.

Aïnouz is directing from a script written by Efthimis Filippou (“Kinds of Kindness,” “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,...

The 2007 Western film “3:10 to Yuma” will become available to stream on Netflix starting September 1st. Directed by James Mangold, the movie stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in a intense story of an outlaw being transported by train. Though it received praise from critics, “3:10 to Yuma” struggled at the box office. Now on Netflix, new audiences can discover this complex morality tale.

The movie is a remake of the 1957 film based on a short story. It follows rancher Dan Evans, played by Bale, who reluctantly agrees to help place the notorious criminal Ben Wade, played by Crowe, on a train to go to trial. However, Wade’s gang is chasing them in hopes of setting their leader free. Throughout the dangerous journey, Evans and Wade develop a complicated relationship as one guards the other.

Both Bale and Crowe delivered praised performances, with Crowe winning an Oscar previously for his role in “Gladiator.

James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown stars Timothée Chalamet, and will be arriving on Christmas Day in the US.

When it was revealed last month (alongside a trailer for the upcoming film) that James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown would be arriving in cinemas in 2024, a few eyebrows went up. The project began filming back in March (according to IMDb) and wrapped near the end of June.

Still, Mangold can be a quick worker when it comes to the post-production stage of filmmaking, depending on the film of course. Whilst Le Mans ’66 took a year to make it through the editing room, his other musical biopic – 2005’s Walk The Line – released in cinemas six months after entering the post-production phase and it looks like the filmmaker will be doing the same again here.

A Christmas Day release has been set for A Complete Unknown in the US,...

Despite having been a part of some of the biggest franchises ever — “X-Men,” “Indiana Jones,” and soon, “Star Wars” — James Mangold is making his disdain for “multi-movie universe-building” known.

The “A Complete Unknown” writer/director told Rolling Stone that he doesn’t “do multiverses” when it comes to his own filmography. Mangold was asked if he considered re-casting Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” as Mangold directed Phoenix as the singer in 2005 Oscar-winning film “Walk the Line.”

“I don’t do multiverses,” Mangold said. “But beyond that Johnny Cash was like, 30 [during the ‘A Complete Unknown’ era]. I love Joaquin, but he’s not 30, or whatever Johnny was at this moment.”

Instead, Mangold reunites with his “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” actor Boyd Holbrook, who will portray Cash alongside Timothée Chalamet’s Dylan.

In addition to helming the fifth “Indiana Jones” film, Mangold has...

Ya se ha publicado el primer tráiler de “A Complete Unknown”, el biopic del legendario Bob Dylan.

“A Complete Unknown” está ambientada en la influyente escena musical de neoyorquina de principios de los años sesenta. Narra el meteórico ascenso del músico de Minnesota Bob Dylan, un cantante folk de 19 años, a las salas de conciertos y a la cima de las listas de éxitos. Sus canciones y su mística se convirtieron en un fenómeno mundial que culminó en 1995 con su rompedora actuación de rock eléctrico en el Newport Folk Festival.

Dirigida por James Mangold y con un guion del propio Mangold y Jay Cocks (“Silencio”), la película está protagonizada por Timothée Chalamet junto a Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Mónica Barbaro (“Top Gun: Maverick”), Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Buzt (“Como la Vida Misma”) y Scoot McNairy.

We just got our first look at Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan in the new movie “A Complete Unknown“. The teaser trailer was just released and it gives us a sneak peek at Chalamet’s transformation into the young folk singer.

The trailer starts with some scenes of Chalamet walking around New York City in the 1960s. You see him pass by famous spots like the Chelsea Hotel. Then he starts performing one of Dylan’s most well-known songs, “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”. Even cooler, it seems like Chalamet is actually singing the song himself in the footage. That adds another level of realism to his portrayal of Dylan.

The movie is directed by James Mangold, who’s done other big films like “Logan” and “Ford v Ferrari”. It focuses on Dylan as a 19-year-old who moves from Minnesota to New York and skyrockets to fame in the folk music world.

There are no sure things in this world, but a Joseph Kosinski-directed, Jerry Bruckheimer-produced sports flick set in the breakneck 200-mph world of Formula 1 racing sounds about as can't-miss as mega-budget studio movies get. Throw in Brad Pitt starring as a veteran driver seeking redemption and a supporting cast of Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem and the should-be-a-star-by-now Damson Idris (the breakout lead of John Singleton's FX series "Snowfall"), and Warner Bros. has to be expecting a global box-office windfall out of "F1" in 2025.

But aren't auto racing films a commercial crap shoot if the cars aren't animated or capable of gravity-defying maneuvers while their drivers prattle about the importance of family? Though "Ford v. Ferrari" was a hit for 20th Century Fox in 2019, moviegoers, particularly in the U.S., failed to turn out in droves for the likes of "Gran Turismo," "Logan Lucky," and "Rush." No...

Marvel’s next Captain America film is getting expensive, and it sounds as if sizeable reshoots are underway – costing up to $100m alone.

While studios tend to be reticent to publicise the actual production budget for their movies, some kind of alchemy still brings together at least a rough number. Take the original Iron Man movie for instance. That’s now believed to have cost in the region of $140m all in, with the price rumoured at the time of its release said to be closer to $100m.

What does seem very clear is that arguably 2025’s biggest Marvel film, Captain America: Brave New World, is going to be a lot, lot more than that. In fact, believe a fresh report that’s popped up over at World Of Reel, and the reshoot costs along for the film are really quite alarming.

None of this has been confirmed, and none of it is our money.

Exclusive: Jamie Neumann has been cast in Apple’s new 10-episode comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson, and created, written by and executive produced by Jason Keller (Ford v Ferrari).

From Apple Studios, the untitled comedy follows Pryce Cahill (Wilson), an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce hedges his bets entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom, played by Peter Dager.

Neumann will play ‘the series regular role of Amber-Linn,’ Pryce’s ex-wife. She joins the previously announced cast which also includes Marc Maron and Mariana Treviño.

The untiled series will be directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and executive produced by Propagate Content’s Ben Silverman (The Office), Howard T. Owens and Rodney Ferrell,...

Christian Bale is known throughout the Hollywood industry for his adaptability to characters. As a method actor, he takes every role that comes his way and magnifies the significance of the character through his depiction. His skills as an actor have always been enough to mesmerize the audience regardless of the film’s success. Having done so many films, his range incorporates some of the most contrasting characters.

Bale can play a hero and he can play a villain just as wonderfully. The power he holds as an actor because of his performance is one that helps many fans also resonate with the various personalities he plays. Despite it all, there was one character he portrayed whose description caught him off guard. Primarily because James Mangold thought the character was exactly like Bale. Ironically enough, the role...

The Planet Of The Apes franchise has seen five feature films from the original movies, one from Tim Burton in 2001, a successful prequel series starring the amazing Andy Serkis, a live-action television series, an animated Saturday morning series, comic books, trading cards, action figures, you name it.

50 years ago in 1974 20th Century Fox came up with the clever idea to offer all five movies at once to select movie theaters, and program them together as a “Go Ape!” movie marathon.

Inventive marketing at the time, the films starred the incomparable Roddy McDowall, who played Cornelius and Caesar, in 4 out of the 5 movies. All the movies can now be found on streaming services.

In 2024, Pota fans were offered the chance to see the film on May 8th at the special Fan Event and “Go Ape” again!

The last time I spoke to Noah Jupe was four years ago when he was just 15 years old. It was over Zoom, and he was promoting HBO’s “The Undoing” from a Detroit hotel room, where he was under mandatory quarantine waiting to be cleared to start work on Steven Soderbergh’s “No Sudden Move.”

At the time, Jupe’s list of credits already included “The Night Manager,” “Suburbicon,” the first two “A Quiet Place” films and “Ford v Ferrari.” He had earned a Spirit Award nomination for his work starring role in “Honey Boy,” director Alma Har’el’s drama loosely based on Shia Labeouf’s childhood.

The British actor is now 19 and I’m meeting him once again over Zoom — this time, he’s in his London-area home — for this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast. He’s promoting Apple TV+’s “Franklin.” The limited series follows Benjamin Franklin,...

As I wrote in 2011 right before the opening of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, the Pota series is, “the greatest franchise in movie history.” Now comes the next chapter in less than a month.

One of several "Star Wars" movies currently in development at Lucasfilm just took a major step forward. Writer Beau Willimon is now set to co-write director James Mangold's upcoming adventure in a galaxy far, far away. Willimon will pen the script alongside Mangold for what is tentatively titled "Dawn of the Jedi", which was first announced last year during Star Wars Celebration.

The news comes to us from The Hollywood Reporter. Willimon is perhaps best known for creating Netflix's "House of Cards." However, "Star Wars" fans will know him best as one of the writers of "Andor," the much-acclaimed Disney+ series about Cassian Andor. Most notably, he penned the episode "One Way Out," which is widely considered to be one of the best episodes of television in the history of the franchise. Willimon was nominated for an Emmy for his work on the episode. Now, he's getting the chance to tackle a movie.

Peter Dager has landed a lead role opposite Owen Wilson in AppleTV+’s new comedy series from Jason Keller.

The comedy stars Wilson as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce hedges his bets entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom, who will be played by Dager.

The still-untitled 10-episode series is executive produced by Wilson, and is created, written and executive produced by Jason Keller. This marks the first television series of Keller’s writing career. He most recently worked on the screenplay for the 2019 film “Ford v. Ferrari.” Prior to that, his writing credits include “Escape Plan,” “Machine Gun Preacher” and “Mirror Mirror.”

David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo’s sci-fi epic “3 Body Problem” debuted at No. 2 on Netflix’s English-language TV in its launch week. The drama came in behind Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentlemen” which has reached its third week at No. 1 on the list.

From March 18-24, “The Gentlemen” had 11.7 million views, just edging out “3 Body Problem,” with 11 million views over its first four days of availability.

Third place went to list newcomer “Homicide: New York” (6.6 million views), fourth to “Avatar: The Last Airbender” (3.4 million), which was in Week 5 on the Top 10, fifth to “Hot Wheels Let’s Race” (2.4 million), sixth to the first season of “Monk” (2 million), seventh was a tie between “Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War,” The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping,” “Fool Me Once,” and “One Day,” all with 1.3 million views.

Universal Pictures has pre-emptively landed an adaptation of Mark A. Bradley’s “Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America,” with newly-minted Oscar winner Cillian Murphy attached to star and produce.

Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth will adapt the screenplay. They previously collaborated on “Edge of Tomorrow.”

John Davis and Jordan Davis will produce through Davis Entertainment, while Murphy and Alan Moloney will produce through Big Things Films. Mark A. Bradley will executive produce. Universal’s Lexi Barta, who was recently elevated to senior vice president of production, will oversee the project for the studio.

“Blood Runs Coal” takes place in the late 1960s in Pennsylvania’s coal mines, chronicling a shocking assassination that altered the history of American labor unions.

Murphy’s credits include films such as “Oppenheimer,” “The Dark Knight,” “Red Eye, “Dunkirk” and “A Quiet Place Part II,” while...

Somewhere, at this very moment, someone's dad is probably watching one of the Jesse Stone movies on DVD, and that man is having a great afternoon. After this, he might pop in "Ford v. Ferrari" for the seventh time.

The character of Jesse Stone began his life in a series of airport novels written by the late Robert B. Parker. The first Jesse Stone novel, "Night Passage," was published in 1997 and it followed the titular former LAPD detective (and divorced recovering alcoholic) as he investigated money laundering and murder in Paradise, Massachusetts. Parker had a hit on his hands with "Night Passage," and proceeded to writer eight additional Jesse Stone novels from 1998 up until his death in 2010. Jesse Stone had become an institution at that point, and other authors began writing Stone novels in Parker's style. There have been 11 additional Jesse Stone novels written after Parker's death. 

Starting in 2005, Jesse...

There may not be a more daunting artist from the twentieth century (and beyond) to grapple with in any form than Bob Dylan. The folk music legend is regarded by many as the most influential songwriter of the last 60-plus years, and, at the age of 82, is just as relevant today as he was in his rebellious young adulthood. He pricked the nation's conscience in the early 1960s with classic protest anthems like "The Times They Are a-Changin'," "Blowin' in the Wind" and "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall," inspiring many a teenager and twentysomething to pick up an acoustic guitar and sing their truth. Then, in what his folkie colleagues/admirers took as a betrayal, he went electric. This would be the first of many confounding transformations. In a way, he kept throwing fans off the scent of the big "Who is Bob Dylan?" question by, every few years, getting...

Disney’s 20th Century Studios has revealed the teaser trailer for sci-fi/horror-thriller Alien: Romulus, which will be released in theaters on August 16, 2024.

Alien: Romulus takes the phenomenally successful franchise back to its roots. While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.

The film stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), David Jonsson (Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Isabela Merced (The Last of Us), Spike Fearn (Aftersun), and Aileen Wu.

Fede Alvarez directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (Don’t Breathe 2) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.

Alien: Romulus is produced by Ridley Scott (Napoleon), who directed the original Alien and produced and directed the series’ entries Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, Michael Pruss (Boston Strangler), and Walter Hill.

Apple TV+ had announced it will expand its award-winning comedy slate with a new 10-episode comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson and created, written by and executive produced by Jason Keller (“Ford v Ferrari”). Starring Wilson in the lead role, the comedy follows Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce hedges his bets entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom. Hailing from Apple Studios, the untiled series will be directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and executive produced by Propagate Content’s Ben Silverman (“The Office”), Howard T.

Owen Wilson is set to star in a comedy series at Apple TV+ set in the world of professional golf, Variety has learned.

The untitled series hails from writer Jason Keller. Apple has given the series a 10-episode order. Per the official description, Wilson will star as Pryce Cahill, “an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After he gets fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store and his wife walks out on him, Pryce hedges his bets entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom.”

Both Keller and Wilson also serve as executive producers on the series. Propagate Content’s Ben Silverman will also executive produce along with Howard T. Owens and Rodney Ferrell, Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady, Piece of Work’s Lee Eisenberg and Natalie Sandy, and Chris Moynihan. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris will direct.

This is the latest TV role for Wilson of late.

Timothée Chalamet is ready to be a part of the MCU — the “musical cinematic universe,” that is.

In a recent interview with NME while promoting “Dune: Part Two,” Chalamet said he wants Austin Butler’s Elvis Presley to appear in his and James Mangold’s upcoming Bob Dylan film, “A Complete Unknown.”

“I can’t wait for that film,” Butler said of the Dylan project. “I wish I could be on set every day to just watch the magic happen.”

“I wish you were in it!” Chalamet replied. “There’s an Elvis character in the Johnny Cash biopic [‘Walk the Line’]. It’s really brief, it’s very brief, but I was kind of wishing we could create a musical cinematic universe.”

Butler nabbed a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for his performance as Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 film. He also received his first Academy Award nomination for his...

The films in the running for the 2024 Best Film Editing Oscar are “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Holdovers,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Oppenheimer,” and “Poor Things.” Our current odds indicate that “Oppenheimer” (31/10) is the frontrunner, followed in order by “Anatomy of a Fall” (4/1), “Killers of the Flower Moon” (9/2), “Poor Things” (9/2), and “The Holdovers” (9/2).

Having previously bagged trophies for “Raging Bull” (1981), “The Aviator” (2005), and “The Departed” (2007), Thelma Schoonmaker could now become this category’s first quadruple champion by winning for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The 84-year-old is also the first cutter to reach a total of nine nominations, with all but her first for “Woodstock” (1971) having come for films directed by Martin Scorsese. Their other collaborations that brought her academy attention are “Goodfellas” (1991), “Gangs of New York” (2003), “Hugo” (2012), and “The Irishman” (2020).

This year’s second of two female nominees is Jennifer Lame (“Oppenheimer”), who would be the 14th unique woman to win this award,...

Director Joe Wright and writers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth have all boarded the upcoming Paramount+ series “The Department.”

The Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios series, which was announced with a straight-to-series order in February 2023, is based on the French drama series “Le Bureau des Legendes” created by Eric Rochant. Wright will direct the first two episodes and executive produce, while the Butterworths will writer and executive produce all episodes. George Clooney was originally announced as directing the series. He and Grant Heslov remain onboard as executive producers via Smokehouse Pictures.

The story of “Ford Vs. Ferrari” is so long and winding. At one point, Christian Bale was going to star in Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” movie with Adam Driver, but he eventually left to star in “Ford vs. Ferrari,” with Mann’s blessing, of course. The film was ultimately made by James Mangold and released in 2019. But there were versions of it before that.

All five of our predicted Oscar nominees for Best Sound number among the contenders for the Golden Reel Awards bestowed by the Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse) announced on Jan. 16. Oscar frontrunner “Oppenheimer” reaped three bids across the six film categories. One of its closest Oscar rivals, “Maestro,” earned two nominations while the other three — “Ferrari,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “The Zone of Interest” — had to make do with one apiece.

Four of our five predicted Oscar nominees for Best Sound number among the contenders for the Cinema Audio Society Awards for sound mixing announced on Jan. 9. Oscar frontrunner “Oppenheimer” reaped a bid as did three of its closest competitors –“Ferrari,” “Maestro,” “and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The fifth nominee at the Cas is “Barbie,” which we have in 7th place on our Oscars chart. It bumped our fourth-place contender “The Zone of Interest.”

The upcoming Oscars mark the fourth year for the Best Sound category, which combines Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing. The Cas honors the latter while the Motion Picture Sound Editors salute achievements in the former.

Throughout his 40-plus year career, filmmaker Michael Mann has accumulated and proliferated many colorful phrases and bite-sized poetic philosophy. One of his most favored is the phrase "time is luck." The sentiment refers to how every second one can breathe — to ambulate and interact with the world around them, to manipulate and change it and, in turn, be changed by it — is an opportunity and a blessing.

Mann's personal and professional philosophies were heavily influenced by his time researching and befriending men who operated on both sides of the law, and he found that law enforcement officers as well as lifelong criminals tend to have an innate sense of a ticking clock in their lives. While the bulk of Mann's filmography deals with cops, criminals, and crime, there are several notable outliers — "The Keep," "The Last of the Mohicans," "The Insider," and especially "Ali" — that point the way to his...

Premiering last summer, “The Bear” has become the most-watched comedy series in FX history. Season 1 amassed a total of 13 Emmy nominations, making it the third most-nominated comedy this year behind “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (14) and “Ted Lasso” (21). Included as part of their showcase is Jon Bernthal for Best Comedy Guest Actor for his performance as Michael “Mikey” Berzatto, his first Emmy bid after over 20 years working in the industry.

Like many actors, Bernthal’s first television appearance was in the “Law & Order” franchise on the spinoff “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” in 2002. After many appearances on a number of network dramas and sitcoms, he became known for his role as Shane Walsh in the first two seasons of “The Walking Dead,” and went on to work with such revered film directors as Martin Scorsese (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Denis Villeneuve (“Sicario”) and Edgar Wright (“Baby Driver”). His recent...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is on the way next year from 20th Century Studios, a brand new movie that takes place “many years after” the events of War for the Planet of the Apes. Along with a new image, below, unveiled by EW comes the tease that this new entry has the potential to launch a new multi-movie saga.

Director Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will release in theaters May 24, 2024.

The new film is “set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader builds his empire, one young ape undertakes a harrowing journey that will cause him to question all that he has known about the past and to make choices that will define a future for apes and humans alike.

A fresh report suggests that the long-gestating buddy cop sequel Lethal Weapon 5 will shoot next year, with Mel Gibson in the director’s chair.

We know that a fifth entry in the Lethal Weapon series has been in the works for a long time. The late, great Richard Donner – director of the first four films – was working on it before he passed away in 2021. Then, in the same year we heard that Mel Gibson, one half of the series’ leading duo was set to take over the directorial reins. Of course, a lot has happened in the world since 2021, with a lot of that turbulence directly affecting Hollywood film production. However, despite all of the uncertainty, Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman (via World of Reel) is reporting that Lethal Weapon 5 will shoot next year.

According to the report, Jez Butterworth, the writer behind Edge Of Tomorrow and Le Mans 66...

Barry Keoghan landed his first Oscar nomination last year for his supporting turn in Martin McDonagh‘s “The Banshees of Inisherin.” Co-star Brendan Gleeson was also nominated but they both lost to “Everything Everywhere All at Once” player Ke Huy Quan. However, the big takeaway was that Keoghan had officially arrived.

The Oscar nomination preceded key turns in Christopher Nolan‘s “Dunkirk” and Chloé Zhao‘s MCU movie “Eternals,” while he also played the Joker in a deleted scene in Matt Reeves‘ “The Batman.” Keoghan has quickly risen through the ranks of Hollywood stars and now is one of the most interesting actors currently working.

His latest role comes in Emerald Fennell‘s sophomore outing as a director — her biting, satirical comedy-drama “Saltburn,” from Amazon MGM Studios/Warner Bros. Keoghan stars as Oliver, an oddball Oxford student who becomes obsessed with Felix (Jacob Elordi), his rich classmate. He later stays at Saltburn,...

It's premiering soon at the 2023 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia (aka PÖFF) as a world premiere in the Critics' Picks Competition section.

Taylor Swift’s movie is presiding over Martin Scorsese’s in North American theaters, but the “Mean Streets” director has outstripped the “Mean” singer at the international box office.

Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a crime epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, has generated $21 million from 63 overseas markets. In terms of weekend ticket sales, it’s pacing ahead of Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” which added $10.5 million in its second weekend of release. The pop star’s concert extravaganza has earned a sizable $164.78 million worldwide to date.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” took second place behind “Eras Tour” at the domestic box office, bringing in $23 million and boosting its global tally to $44 million. Outside of North America, the U.K. has been the biggest market for “Flower Moon” with $3 million, followed by France ($2.6 million), Germany ($1.6 million), Australia ($1.4 million) and Spain ($1.3 million). According to the film’s distributor,...

Italians and fast cars simply go together like, well, Italians and pasta. Or like Italians and wine. Basically, Italians have cornered the market in all the world's coolest stuff, is what I'm saying. That certainly holds true for "Ferrari," director Michael Mann's production about the man responsible for building the most prolific and widely-admired car manufacturer ever based in that little boot-shaped country. Mann fans have been looking forward to the acclaimed filmmaker's take on the story of Enzo Ferrari for quite some time now, especially since the stylistic storyteller knows exactly how to make all the most dangerous pursuits look impossibly cool -- even as they function as cautionary tales, at the same time.

"Ferrari" sure seems to be of a piece with the rest of Mann's filmography to this point, boasting one heck of a talented actor in the lead role along with all the daring action...

After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Netflix’s awards season pony “Maestro,” the Leonard Bernstein biopic from sophomore director Bradley Cooper, in which he also stars, is gearing up for its next major stop at the New York Film Festival on Monday.

Ahead of its New York bow, the streamer invited a small group of journalists and friends of the Bernstein family to the Academy Museum on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The famed composer’s daughters, Jamie Bernstein and Nina Maria Felicia Bernstein, introduced the screening, followed by an intimate discussion with some of the filmmaking team, including Oscar-nominated producer Kristie Macosko Krieger (“The Fabelmans”) and three-time nominated sound mixer Steven Morrow.

When it comes to predicting the Oscar winner for Best Film Editing, you can’t go wrong by looking for the movie with the most cuts. Past winners “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2008), “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2016), “Ford v Ferrari” (2020), “Dune” (2022) and last year’s champ “Everything Everywhere All at Once” included high-octane action sequences with frenetic cutting. A slew of winners — including “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999, “Black Hawk Down” (2002), “The Hurt Locker” (2010), “Hacksaw Ridge” (2017) and “Dunkirk” (2018) — have been war pictures. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2024 Oscar predictions for Best Film Editing.)

Oscar voters also embrace film editors who skillfully juggle multiple storylines, as was the case with “Traffic” (2001) and “Crash” (2006). And they like films that expertly inter-cut music with images, such as “Cabaret” (1973), “Chicago” (2003), “Whiplash” (2015), “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2019) and 2021 winner “Sound of Metal.” Special effects extravaganzas like “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2004) and “Gravity” (2014) won by...

The old DC Universe is dead, long live the DC Universe. As we get closer and closer to the rebirth of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC hierarchy of power, there is plenty to be excited about, from new takes on iconic characters and also fresh new faces making the leap to the big screen.

One of the most exciting aspects of the new universe is the opportunity to get deeply weird, and no project feels as full of potential for weirdness as "Swamp Thing." We don't know much about the movie just yet, but it is a sign of confidence, Swamp Thing was the first upcoming DC movie to get a director announcement (other than James Gunn tackling "Superman: Legacy"), so it is clear DC's resident green monster will be an important part of the new universe.

There's plenty to be excited about and to speculate over...

New Line Cinema brings you the horror thriller “The Nun II,” the next chapter in the story of “The Nun,” the highest grossing entry in the juggernaut $2 billion “The Conjuring” Universe. 1956 – France. A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit follows Sister Irene as she once again comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun.

Check out how the movie has spread across social media.

Director Michael Chaves says:

“I think that the Demon Nun is one of those iconic movie monsters. I mean, you see it on a poster and it’s like a little bit of a throwback to Dracula. You see a little bit of Pennywise.

After two dismal weekends at the box office, any chance of things recovering for the last weekend of August doesn’t seem likely, although one daring movie (and this year’s “National Cinema Day“) will try to make an impact. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.

On Sunday, August 27, many North American theaters will be offering $4 movie tickets in hopes of keeping the burst of movie attendance thanks to “Barbenheimer” going into September. It will be hard to tell what sort of effect it has this year, because studio estimates on Sunday might not be able to account for any bump from National Cinema Day.

With that in mind, Sony is releasing the racing movie “Gran Turismo,” which isn’t based on the Sony Playstation driving simulator as much as it tells the true story of Jann Mardenborough, as played by Archie Madekwe (“Midsommar”), a gamer whose...
