/Film Interview: Wes Anderson Talks About ‘Moonrise Kingdom’s’ Themes, End Credits, His Dark Next Movie, Fan Art And More Wes Andersonsits on a short list of filmmakers who, no matter what they put in theaters, we’ll go see it. His latest,Moonrise Kingdom, is only his seventh feature film but with each and every movie, Anderson’s unique vision evolves and focuses telling original, beautiful stories that are wholly his own, even when they’re based on someone else’s work (The Fantastic Mr....

10 Characters We’d Love To See In The Batman 2 Matt Reeves' 2022 film “The Batman” gave us new versions of not just Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) but also Jim Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth, the Riddler, Oswald Cobblepot (aka The Penguin), Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman), and evena glimpse at The Joker … allegedly. That’s an impressive roster of Gotham residents as it is, but there’s certainly room for more were “The Batman” to get a sequel with Robert Pattinson in the title role and Reeves' vision expanded....

The show is calledThe Mandalorian(seen above), and thefootage shown at Star Wars Celebrationimpressed the hell out of us. After that, there will be a series focusing on Rebel Alliance spy Cassian Andor before the events ofRogue One: A Star Wars Story....

Alex Garland Is Not Interested In An ‘Annihilation’ Sequel Annihilationwas one of the most profound sci-fi experiences to be had in theaters this year. But don’t look to directorAlex Garlandto try to replicate the sci-fi/horror film that critics were hailing as a modern masterpiece. Though the film is based on the first entry in authorJeff VanderMeer’s trilogy of sci-fi novels, Garland says that he isn’t interested in making anAnnihilationsequel. Alex Garland’sAnnihilationis based off the first novel in VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy, which is followed by the sequelsAuthorityandAcceptance....

Bosch Season 4: Amazon’s Smart Cop Drama Gets Another Year A couple of weeks back, I called Starz’sBlack Sailsthebest television series you’re probably not watching. If there is a close second in this contest, it’s probably Amazon’s original drama seriesBosch. Sure,other people must be watching these shows or they wouldn’t be renewed for multiple seasons, but I see very little buzz about on social media, and none of the friends seem to be invested in these series....

Box Office: Underworld Winning The Weekend With $19.75M As the dust settles from the Academy Award nominations and Hollywood prepares for Sunday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, two new wide releases have hit theatres with one, a slight disappointment, and the other, a total misfire. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (Sony), a prequel to the two previous Underworld movies, will win the weekend after grabbing an estimated $7.6M, which should translate to an opening 3-day of about $19....

Brian Blessed Cast As Odin In Thor According to Rich Johnston’s new siteBleeding Cool,Brian Blessedhas been cast as Odin, All-Father of Valhalla inKenneth Branagh’sThor. Frankly, I’m very happy with this news. The only way I could be happier is if somebody could get me confirmation that Blessed would record a commentary track for the film – the one he did forFlash Gordonis a real favorite in my household. I sincerely hope Max von Sydow has heard it....

Colin Trevorrow Talks ‘Star Wars: Episode 9’ And Yes, He’s Aware Of That George Lucas Petition The director ofStar Wars: Episode 9was never not going to be controversial. This is the most popular movie franchise in history we’re talking about here – little things raise tempers and lead to arguments arguments, so of course the person put in charge of an entire movie was going to create a tempest by default....

David Cronenberg To Adapt Don DeLillo Novel Cosmopolis I like this! I think.THRreported over the weekend (sorry, we were knee-deep in Comic Con) thatDavid Cronenberghad signed to direct a film adaptation of theDon DeLillonovelCosmopolis. The trade story lacks a few really key details, like the name of the screenwriter. Cronenberg often scripts his own material, or at least does a script pass on another screenwriter’s draft; I’m curious to know who’s writing this one....

Eli Roth Takes Keanu Reeves To Hell And Back In ‘Knock Knock’ [Sundance 2015] WhenEli Rothdirects a movie, there’s a certain expectation from the film. Gore, disturbing imagery and sheer terror are associated with the director ofCabin FeverandHostel. Roth knows that as well as anyone. With his latest filmKnock Knock, he uses those expectations to his advantage to toy with the audience. The film slowly builds, but situations don’t get violent....

Every Pokemon In The ‘Detective Pikachu’ Trailer Now that we’re recovered from the bewilderment of watching theDetective Pikachutrailer, it’s time to parse through it frame-by-frame and count every Pokemon that makes an appearance. Because despite the strangeness of aDetective Pikachuadaptation, it’s still a big deal to see our favorite Pokemon come to life on the big screen in a live-action movie. And Warner Bros. was kind to fans here, throwing in some fan-favorite first-generation Pokemon in addition to some new-generation creatures....

First Two Seasons Of ‘The Walking Dead’ To Be Rebroadcast In Black And White If there’s one shade I associate with AMC’sThe Walking Dead, it’s red — as in the color of all that stomach-turning blood and gore. But perhaps that’s only because I haven’t readRobert Kirkman’s comic, which is illustrated in stark black and white. And starting in February, older episodes of the series will be presented the same way....
