Freshoff of the success ofSebastian Stan’s role in Hulu’s cannibalistic thriller, it looks like he is joining the cast of a new psychological thriller, this time from A24. Stan will be joined byRenate Reinsve, who has recently received her own wave of attention for her central role inThe Worst Person in the World. The new project will be calledA Different Man, and it comes from filmmakerAaron Schimberg. This is not the first time that Schimberg has made a film about facial differences....

Sony has released the first clip fromSpider-Man: Homecoming. The upcoming reboot sees Peter Parker (Tom Holland) trying to navigate high school while also coming into his own as Spider-Man and fighting bad guys on the streets of New York City. Peter’s life is made even more complicated when he runs up against the nefarious Vulture (Michael Keaton). One thing that all the marketing material has stressed thus far in the campaign forHomecomingis Peter’s relationship with his friends....

Spoilers ahead for season 3 ofStranger Things Dacre Montgomery’s Billy Montgomery does a lot of horrific things inStranger Thingsafter becoming host to the monstrous Mind Flayer. But nothing can quite compare to the horror that I and a few other assembled journalists felt when the actor walked on to the set last year with a completely shaved head. “No, this is fresh. This is just a decision of mine,” Montgomery said, assuring us that the Duffer Brothers didn’t shave Billy’s hair, so perfectly permed I think it has its own IMDB credit....

Thor: Ragnarokis now playing around the world. In the run-up to the Marvel film’s release, I got to sit down with directorTaika Waititifor a wide-ranging extended interview. While I’ve already posted the first few parts (links are at the bottom of this article), it’s time for the final installment. In this video Waititi talks about if he’d be interested in directing another Thor sequel, his thoughts on helming another superhero movie, if he knows anything about Marvel’s Phase 4 plans, what he wants to do next, the status of his stop-motion animated movieBubbles, and if it was tough getting along withChris Hemsworthsince he’s from Australia....

It’s the most wonderful time of the year — no, not that one, the spooky one! Starbucks has rolled out the annual pumpkin spice assault, ghosts and ghoulies are everywhere you look, and as summer fades into autumn, it’s about the perfect time to start lighting the fires of the lil' jack-o-lanterns in your heart. Look, it’s been a tough year and no doubt, it’s going to be an unusual Halloween, but it seems like many of us are super excited to have something fun to look forward to and embrace as a community....

On the heels of his fellow teammate from the Seven,The Boys' A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) has released the music video forhisnew hit single “Faster” on the Vought International YouTube channel, and it’s everything you’d expect from a show that loves tongue-in-cheek parodies of pop culture hero worship. The YouTube channel, obviously, is a parody of the mega-corporation that manages the careers of superheroes in the fictional world of the award-winning Amazon original program....

It’s only been five years sinceThe Conjuringkicked off its box office run with a very impressive $42 million dollar start, but we’re already gearing up for the release of the fifth film in that franchise - the spinoff movieThe Nun.James Wanis still producing but this is another instance where he hands over the directorial reins to another filmmaker, in this caseThe HallowdirectorCorin Hardy. Hardy is taking the action back in time and over to Romania where a priest (Demián Bichir) and a novitiate (Taissa Farmiga) are tasked with investigating the suicide of a young nun at a cloistered abbey....

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers forBlink Twice.]Zoë Kravitz’sBlink Twicerocks a top-tier ensemble led by two true powerhouse performers —Channing TatumandNaomi Ackie. Ackie leads the film as Frida, a cocktail waitress who gets the opportunity of her dreams, the chance to join tech billionaire Slater King (Tatum) and his friends on a getaway to his private island. While there, she indulges in limitless food, drink, pool time, and parties. It’s all utter perfection — until it’s not....

[Note: This is a re-post of myThe Promisereview from the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. The film opens in theaters on Friday, April 21st.] DirectorTerry Georgeis no stranger to genocide stories. The filmmaker chronicled the Rwandan genocide in memorable fashion with 2004’sHotel Rwanda, and now he turns his attention to the Armenian genocide in the sweeping historical dramaThe Promise. While this is absolutely a story worth telling, in the hands of George (who also co-wrote the screenplay withRobin Swicord),The Promiseends up feeling very old fashioned in a bad way....

Adult Swim has long been the go-to outlet for bizarre, mind-twisting shenanigans, picking up where its forebears like MTV’s Liquid Television and Oddities left off years ago. Cartoon Network’s mature programming block has also been both a haven and an incubator for the more avant-garde storytellers out there, especially when it comes to animation. (I still think aboutToo Many Cookson an almost weekly basis.) Now, with Adult Swim’s latest head-scratching seriesThe Shivering Truth, the platform is once again pushing the envelope of the subjective when it comes to what is too funny to be offensive and what is too offensive to be funny....

Chris TuckerandJackie Chanare perfectly mismatched inRush Hour, the 1998 action comedy that began a hit franchise. In two more installments, LAPD Detective Carter (Tucker) and Hong Kong Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) get caught up in one international criminal plot after another. Althoughthere was a TV show that tried to recapture what fans loved about the movies, it missed the most important element that brought the laughs and the martial arts stunts — Tucker and Chan....
