Shadow and Boneis an urban fantasy TV series based on a novel trilogy byLeigh Bardugo, which is primarily geared toward young adult audiences. Unlike many other fantasy stories, which feature worlds more akin to Medieval Times,Shadow and Boneis a little different in that it feels more like a parallel to the Victorian Era. This means that, on top of their being magic, there are various aspects of steampunk included, too....
Read update The Flashfeatures the return ofMichael Shannonas General Zod, calling back to the first-ever DCEU villain. In many ways,The Flashis the ending to the uneven and polarizing DCEU, so bringing back the OG villain makes sense in a poetic and fitting sort of way. For all its flaws, the DCEU was always good at casting and choosing characters from DC’s extensive pool of heroes and villains. The franchise had some of the best enemies in modern superhero films, from vengeful gods to genocidal aliens and psychopathic criminals....

For six seasons,What We Do in the Shadowshas brought fans to tears with its hilariously unhinged shenanigans and shockingly crass and dry humor. Season after season, as the documentary crew has filmed and observed, it’s clear that the Staten Island vampires, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), are content with their way of life, which viewers and especially Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), their familiar, know is riddled with absurdity, foolishness and ignorance....

Fans want to lock down theirAvengers: Infinity Wartickets. According toDeadline, it only took six hours for the upcoming superhero epic to achieve the best-selling first day tickets. It’s already beaten outBatman v. Superman,Justice League(no surprise there), and the previous record-holder,Black Panther. Per Deadline, “In a Fandango survey of more than 1,000 moviegoers who snapped upInfinity Wartickets this morning: –97% can’t wait to see how dozens of heroes work together in the same film...
I was bummed whenEdgar WrightleftAnt-Manbecause I wanted to see him make a movie in my native Atlanta. It turns out that time (and generous tax incentives) heal all wounds, because Wright not only came to Atlanta for his next movie,Baby Driver—he chose to set it in the city as well. So I was thrilled last year when I got to visit the set of the film along with a group of other journalists in April 2016 to see Wright at work....
A new trailer for Pixar’sCars 3has landed online ahead of the film’s release next weekend. While the plot of the picture, which focuses on an aging Lightning McQueen attempting to stay competitive (and relevant) in a racing world populated by modern, superfast cars, is very apparent in this new trailer, I have no idea who this movie is supposed to be for. The first film came out in 2006, but this new, more serious take makes it seem like Lightning is nearing the end of his productive years and is racing for one last hurrah before being put out to pasture....
It looks like theFantastic Beastsfranchise is going to do a bit of a deep dive into the teenaged lives of its protagonists. Or at least, it will give some time to exploring these wizards and young folk (hopefully longer than those brief fever-dreams of the Young Marauders inHarry Potter).The Leaky Caludronspotted an open casting call from Warner Bros. for five young actors — and reminds hopefuls thatEvanna Lynchwas once just one of 15000 would-be Luna Lovegoods....
Considering thatJ.K. Rowlinghas outed herself as a full-throated transphobe this past year, Warner Bros. would be wise to just give up theFantastic Beastsfranchise, which hasn’t been going that well anyway, and quietly rake in moreHarry Pottermoney from other revenue streams while giving Rowling as little attention as possible. But it looks likeFantastic Beastswill continue. Thankfully, it is rectifying another one of the mistakes they made. Johnny Depphas announced that he is leaving theFantastic Beastsfranchise after Warner Bros....
Tis the season for movie trailers, apparently. Granted, every studio in town has been angling to get a brand new/first trailer ready to attach to next week’sStar Wars: The Force Awakens, which guarantees them the maximum amount of eyeballs on their upcoming project, so it’s nottoomuch of a surprise that we’re about to be overloaded with first looks at highly anticipated films. We learned earlier today thatthe first trailer forX-Men: Apocalypseis coming tomorrowahead of its attachment toStar Wars, and now the first footage from one of Warner Bros....
It’s unfortunate that there isn’t an actress who’s “overdue” for an Oscar in 2015 because most media outlets will likely focus their actor awards coverage on whether or notLeonardo DiCapriocan get his first Oscar forThe Revenant, likely shifting the spotlight away from 2015 being,top to bottom, the most stacked Best Actress race in years. In 2015, I’d argue that every viable Best Actress candidate—Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Juliette Binoche, Charlotte Rampling, Saoirse Ronan, Brie Larson, Rooney Mara, Alicia Vikander, Emily BluntandCharlize Theron—actually gave a more nuanced and full performance than any of the actors onthe other side....
In the second installment ofRyan Murphy’sFEUD: Bette and Joan, his third TV franchise followingAmerican Crime StoryandAmerican Horror Story, he makes a devastating point about the work of female actors and, likely, women in general. And he does it completely visually. Three shots appear in succession like this: a block of ice cut and shaved into a horse’s head, a fruit platter diced and sliced to look like an ecosystem of animals, and Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, played byJessica LangeandSusan Sarandonrespectively, talking to the press....
