The Babadook’s Script Was Almost Too Terrifying For Essie Davis To Handle With two striking features under her belt, Australian filmmaker Jennifer Kent has shown that her directorial sensibilities lie in communicating the horrors of tragedy and grief. Her second feature, “The Nightingale,” may not classify as a traditional horror film, but it features enough grueling acts of violence that it more than fits within the parameters of the genre. It’s her feature directorial debut, “The Babadook,” however, that has made writer-director Kent a force to be reckoned with in the horror sphere....

This Week In Trailers: In The House, The Spirit Of ‘45, Silver Circle, My Way To Olympia, Legends Of The Knight Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Transformers Producer Plans City Of Heroes Movie I’ve never really understood the MMORPG world. For those that don’t know, that stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. I triedStar Wars Galaxies, and wanted to love it, but came out with the opposite opinion. And I’ve had some friends (sadly) who spend more time onWorld of Warcraft(nicknamedWarcrack) than in their non-work hours real lifes. But one of the MMORPG that has always interested me isCity of Heroes, which basically operates under the premise of a city filled with super-heroes and villains....

TV Bits: James Cameron Brings About The ‘Robogeddon’, Plus: ‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Southland’, ‘Glee’, ‘Veep’, ‘The Walking Dead’, ‘Game Of Thrones’, And More If I asked you to guess whatRobogeddonwas, would you surmise that it was a new TV project by James Cameron? Also after the jump: The saga of Walter White will continue into 2013, according toBreaking BadstarBryan Cranston. Though AMCrenewedthe acclaimed drama for a 16-episode final season last summer, it’s only now that the network’s finally made a decision to split the longer-than-usual season into two separate runs rather than airing one extra-long season....

‘Aquaman’ Knows What’s Up, Will Use The ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Stunt Team One of my go-to “drunk in a bar and feeling shouty” conversation subjects is the lack of respect for stunt coordinators and the bruised, battered, and fearless men and women working with them. After all, these are people who put their personal safety on the line to bring movies to life and they don’t even have a category at the Academy Awards (something that hasnotgone unnoticed)....

‘Atomic Blonde’ Trailer: Charlize Theron Goes To Berlin, Kills Everyone IfCharlize Theron’s current goal is to firmly establish herself in the action movie pantheon, she’s doing one helluva job. She was already there thanks to her work inMad Max: Fury Road(and playing a villain inThe Fate of the Furiouscertainly helps), but there’s probably no faster way to action immortality than teaming up with one of the co-directors ofJohn Wick. EnterAtomic Blonde, the new film fromDavid Leitch, which finds Theron playing a spy sent on a deadly mission to Berlin during the Cold War, where she has to, you know,kill everyone....
