The much-anticipatedThe Legend of Zeldalive-action movie hasjust been delayed, prolonging fans' head-scratching for a few more months before it’s released in 2027. Nintendo has been poised to take its most iconic franchises to the big screen for a while now, andThe Super Mario Bros. Movieproved that it can be done, withZeldabeing the obvious next step. A live-action movie is the kind of bold swing that Nintendo likes, but fans have been wondering whether it’s a good idea at all, given how the games already have so much in common with theanime medium....

Just this year, the director and editorFred Raskinre-purposed his already-lengthy eighth filmThe Hateful Eightinto a four-episode miniseries for Netflix, complete with about 20 minutes of cut footage. “I thought, wow, that’s really intriguing,” Tarantino toldSlashfilmat the time. “I mean, the movie exists as a movie, but if I were to use all the footage we shot, and see if I could put it together in episode form, I was game to give that a shot....

Turns out, I probably don’t have what it takes to rise through the ranks ofStar Trek’s officers, not if my performance in the infamous Kobayashi Maru test is any indication. I’ve tried brute force, I’ve tried studying the lore, I’ve even tried emulating the original thinker-outside-the-box James T. Kirk to get me through, and still nothing but inglorious defeat. Still, the odds of winning this simulationare1 in 10,000, so while I have yet to best it, surely someone reading these words will find a way....

The Sundance Film Festival announcedthe initial lineupfor its U.S. Competition category earlier today, and along with the announcement comes the first images for said films. As it is every year, the slate is incredibly strong. While the filmmakers themselves may not yet be household names, this is the same category whereCreeddirectorRyan Coogler,SelmadirectorAva DuVernay, andJurassic WorlddirectorColin Trevorrowgot their big boosts. We jest about the “Sundance-to-Blockbuster” route, but in all earnestness, next month we could be seeing the initial works from some of the biggest filmmakers to come....

Where shoot-em-up blockbusters have action heroes and crime noir has jaded detectives, horror icons tend to take the form of the genre’s villains. Whether they’re the heinous evil butchering innocent people in a slasher flick, beasts of sheer terror in a monster movie, or the blood-curdling presence in a psychological thriller, the fact of the matter is we tend to love horror films when they’re truly at their most horrific....

It’s Halloween which means it’s time for myannual reminderto give 1982’sHalloween III: Season of the Witchanother shot if you haven’t lately. Best remembered as the onlyHalloweenmovie that doesn’t feature Michael Myers, writer/directorTommy Lee Wallace’s film is often overlooked or simply written off for this reason. This is a wrong that I’m trying to right becauseSeason of the Witchis a well-made horror/sci-fi film that I believe enjoys an entirely different fate if it’s released under any other name than the popularHalloweenfranchise....

Now it looks like the film is looking to add Oscar-winnerJennifer Connellyto the cast....

It’s been nearly 15 years sinceV for Vendettawas released in theaters and there is one element — theGuyFawkesmask — which remains the key in understanding the movie’s core themes and message it wishes to gift you, the viewer. The meaning of the mask mayseemeasy enough to figure out. But, since the Warner Bros. movie’s release back on August 06, 2025, the meaning of the Guy Fawkes mask as both a symbol and a message has evolved greatly....

Focus Features has released the first trailer forVictoria & Abdul, the new film fromThe QueenandHigh FidelityfilmmakerStephen Frears. Scripted byLee Hall(Billy Elliot), the film is based on the true story of Queen Victoria’s latter years, when she befriended a young clerk from India named Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) and subsequently struck an unlikely and deep friendship that was looked down upon by her contemporaries. This looks like the kind of “nice” movie that Frears often makes, not unlike his recentPhilomena, and just as with that film Dench looks to be delivering yet another terrific performance....

Spoilers ahead for everything inWestworldthrough the end of Season 2. The second season ofWestworldcame to a close last night, and while there are still loads of questions to ask and theories to devise, one constant of the show – especially in its second season – is that the showrunners have a fairly bleak view of humanity. They have essentially given up on us and cast their interest on the hosts. The logic goes that because the guests treated the hosts like chattel, humanity deserves the retribution it receives....
