Hot off the heels of reportedcreative differencesbetweenRogueSquadrondirectorPatty Jenkins, Lucasfilm has extended its contract with presidentKathleen Kennedy. This extension will have Kennedy running Lucasfilm until 2024. There are severalStar Warsprojects in various stages of development, as well as anotherIndianaJonesfilm, and this news will certainly arouse mixed reactions from fans. Kennedy was the handpicked successor of Lucasfilm fromGeorge Lucaswhen the studio was acquired by Disney in 2012. While theStar Warsuniverse has brought forth a new trilogy, two spin-off films, and Disney+ flagship seriesTheMandalorian, creative differences have marred several of the projects and further intensified the divisions of the galaxy far, far away’s fanbase....

As a smashy-smashy, monster brawl,Kong: Skull Islandis a reasonably good time. Kong is bigger, visual effects have come further, and directorJordan Vogt-Robertsand cinematographerLarry Fongknow how to lovingly shoot the big guy raining down hell on anyone or anything that might get in his way. It’s a film that largely ditches the tragic and symbolic aspects of Kong beyond the most basic elements (he’s the last of his kind, he could kind of stand in for the majesty and brutality of the natural world) in favor of creating a rampaging monster movie, which is all well and good....

When you look over the filmographies ofKristen StewartandNicholas Hoult, you’ll see two actors who are able to shine in any genre and role. While a lot of people might criticize Stewart for her work in theTwilightfilms, I’d argue she did the best she could with the material, and the success of those films allowed her to land roles that might have gone to other actors. In addition, if you look at Stewart’s work inCamp X-Ray,American Ultra, or any of the other films she’s done over the past few years, you’ll see a gifted actor who doesn’t get enough credit....

In the late 1980s, two brothers who looked like preppy villains from a John Hughes movie were accused of murdering their parents in cold blood in their Beverly Hills home with shotguns. The brothers, Lyle and Erik, had grown up wanting for nothing. Rich, talented, and good-looking, they were painted by the media at first as spoiled brats eager to get their hands on a $14 million inheritance. But as their trial went on, allegations of sexual abuse and other trauma created nationwide confusion to the truth of their motivations....

It’s a sign you’ve made it in Hollywood when the roles you’ve been offered are just as prestigious as the roles you’ve accepted.Matt Damon– one of his era’s most bankable stars – is a stellar example. The Golden Globe-winning actor infamouslyturned down Jake Skully inJames Cameron’sAvatar, losing him an estimated $250 million paycheck in the process (“It’s the dumbest thing an actor ever did in the history of acting,”he later joked), but this is only one time when Damon’s career almost took a sharp 90-degree turn....

The lastMelissa McCarthymovie I saw,Can You Ever Forgive Me?, floored me. McCarthy gives an atypically quiet, serious, angry, and vulnerable performance in the subdued drama, one that earned rightfully her an Oscar nomination. An upcoming McCarthy vehicle,The Starling, sounds like it might recapture that dramatic, nuanced magic that she’s capable of – and Netflix just spent a pretty penny to ensure we’ll all be streaming it soon. Per Deadline, the streaming service paid around $20 million for distribution rights for the film – and they didn’t even watch a final cut....

When Focus Features announced the officialstart of productiononPaul Thomas Anderson’s new movie this past February, there was a conspicuous absence: an official director of photography. The then-untitled film, currently being referred to asPhantom Thread, takes place in the 1950s fashion world in London and starsDaniel Day-Lewisas a dressmaker, but in terms of plot that’s pretty much all we got. Anderson is certainly one of the most distinct filmmakers working today, and his films have always been notable for striking cinematography....
