IFC Films and Shudder, AMC Networks’ streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural programming, announced today that they have acquired the North American rights to Steffen Haars’ comedic slasher movie, “Get Away.” The film, which was previously titled “Svalta,” was written by Nick Frost (“Paul”), who also stars alongside Aisling Bea (“This Way Up”) Sebastian Croft (“Heartstopper”), and newcomer Maisie Ayres. The film will have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2024 in September. It will then be released exclusively in theaters on Dec. 6, 2024, followed by its Shudder debut in 2025.

The film is financed by XYZ Films. The company produced the film alongside John Hegeman of Wayward Entertainment, Lee Kim of Resolute Films and Frost.

“Eyes in the Trees” follows “a video journalist and his film crew who embark on a journey into an isolated forest, only to find their excursion turned into a fight for survival for not just themselves, but the entire human race.

Nicole Kidman just might shut her eyes when upcoming erotic A24 thriller “Babygirl” premieres at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
The Oscar winner and “Eyes Wide Shut” alum told Vanity Fair that “Babygirl,” which is written and directed by Halina Reijn, is the most “exposing” film of her career.
“I’ve made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this,” Kidman said. “I just work with abandonment. […] A lot of the themes in my movies have been explored through the lens of sexuality. I’ve not eliminated that or tried to pretend it isn’t there. […] That’s vulnerable, but I’m never going to shy away from that to my dying day. I’ll place myself in a vulnerable position, and see where that takes me.”

Both on the awards circuit and in the public consciousness, HBO is widely regarded as among the first Hollywood heavyweights to recognize that television, as a medium, had the power to deliver sprawling, large scale stories on a smaller screen. From HBO’s ascent in the late 1990s through its dragon-aided roar across the 2010s, the network’s original series tackled universal stories, stretching across continents and decades.
The network hasn’t been without controversy, though. HBO faced questions about its lack of diversity in flagship series, including “Game of Thrones” and “Girls,” throughout the 2010s. And, unshackled from the restrictions of broadcast TV, the various steps the network took to push the limit of what’s allowed on screen garnered a fair share of pearl-clutching headlines; see “The Sopranos” in the ’90s and “Euphoria” just a few years back.

According to graphic designer Nikola Prijic, Bill Skarsgård himself submitted an excerpt from an H.P. Lovecraft poem titled “Despair” — a fitting match in all sorts of ways for 2024’s “The Crow” — as something his character Eric might have tattooed on his body. Prijic took the stanza from the poem that begins with “Evil wings in ether beating” and ends “in a cloud of madness,” laid it out in Procreate, and designed a custom stencil version that could be applied to Skarsgård’s back while shooting the Rupert Sanders film.
It’s always interesting when there’s a big fake tattoo plastered across an actor’s back like a billboard because, in practice, it ends up functioning like a billboard for a film protagonist’s characterization. Cultural assumptions about tattoos may not be as myriad as the different art styles people can apply to skin, but tattoos are a quick visual...

Fall Festival Preview: 29 Must-See Films Playing at the Venice, Toronto, and New York Film Festivals

The advent of the fall festival season is always one of the biggest events of the year for cinephiles, but movie lovers from around the world have additional reasons to underline the dates on their calendars this year. The SAG-AFTRA strike turned last year’s Venice, Toronto, Telluride, and New York film festivals into shells of their former selves as films were forced to debut with star-less red carpets or, in some cases, pull out of festivals altogether. While many pointed out that the increased attention on smaller films wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, this year’s return to star-studded festival glory is long overdue.
While the asterisk still hasn’t fully been removed due to the impact that last year’s production slowdowns had on this year’s releases, festival attendees will still be able to enjoy a diverse feast of cinematic offerings. Who could possibly complain...

Francis Ford Coppola isn’t shying away from controversy when it comes to his latest feature “Megalopolis.”
While “Megalopolis” has been critically divisive, the film was also plagued by allegations that Coppola was inappropriate to female extras on set, including kissing and hugging actresses against their will. Coppola has deemed the accusations “untrue.”
And that’s not even getting to the eclectic ensemble cast. While Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, and Nathalie Emmanuel lead the film, supporting stars Shia Labeouf, Jon Voight, and Dustin Hoffman have made for some albeit interesting choices. Voight and co-star Labeouf have infamously butted heads, but that’s not all: Labeouf has been publicly accused of assaulting former partners, while Voight has drawn criticisms for his devout support of former President Donald Trump. Hoffman has allegedly assaulted co-stars as well.
Writer/director Coppola told Rolling Stone, however, that his casting choices were intentionally controversial.

Almost three years and two criminal trials removed from one of the biggest events to shake up Hollywood in recent memory — the deadly “Rust” shooting — one of Hollywood’s biggest directors who uses more guns than most, Quentin Tarantino, has given his two cents on the tragedy.
Speaking to Bill Maher on the “Club Random” podcast in the below video, Tarantino weighed in on “Rust,” Alec Baldwin, and why filmmakers still use real guns on set. The auteur also acknowledged that the killing of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins could potentially derail how movies are made going forward.
“That’s the kind of fuck up that happens that undermines an entire industry,” Tarantino said of the shooting. “You don’t need nervous people; you want people to go for it. That’s the last thing you want is nervous people, you want, ‘We’re all in this together, and we’re...

Goooooooallll! “Ted Lasso” fans got a special treat this weekend when it was revealed that the show’s studio, Warner Bros. Television, had picked up the options on three of the original cast members who were contracted through the UK actor’s union Equity. According to Deadline, those cast members are Hannah Waddingham, who played owner of AFC Richmond Rebecca Welton, Brett Goldstein, the man behind player-turned-coach Roy Kent, and Jeremy Swift, Rebecca’s assistant and Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins.
In a separate announcement, Puck News revealed that Jamie Tartt actor Phil Dunster is not expected to return, as he’s contracted for another project that conflicts with the scheduling for the apparent upcoming fourth season. Co-creator Bill Lawrence also spoke on the topic recently with Collider, claiming that most of the team were down to return, but it was up to the show’s lead Jason Sudeikis to pull the trigger.

There’s something creepy about fraternities and sororities, right? They have such silly rules and seemingly smart kids all turn into lemmings to join their ranks. It’s strange. And that’s what’s at the heart of the new film, “The Line.”
As seen in the teaser, “The Line” follows a group of kids all attempting to get a foot in the door of the most prestigious fraternity on campus. However, as you might expect, things get out of hand, as young men attempt to do anything to land a spot in the frat and to earn a higher social status.

Over the weekend, director David Lowery teased the audience at the Melbourne International Film Festival with details about his much-anticipated film “Mother Mary.” The film, whose fourteen-month, multi-location production wrapped in Germany in July, explores the relationship between Anne Hathaway as a fictional pop star and Michaela Coel, the Emmy and BAFTA-winning star of “I Will Destroy You,” who plays a fashion designer engaged to design a dress for the star. Also starring are F.K.A. Twigs, Hunter Schafer, and Alba Baptista, with original music from Jack Antonoff and Charli Xcx.
Days after production closed, Hathaway described making “Mother Mary” as “one of the most extraordinary, transformative experiences I have ever had.” When asked about the feature, his eighth, Lowery sighed deeply and hesitantly described it as “a weird, weird film.”
“I wrote the first 20 pages when I was shooting ‘Peter Pan and Wendy’ and it’s been percolating ever since,...

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino dropped by Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast this week to discuss, well, pretty random stuff. While he spoke about his love for the “Toy Story” movies, at least the first three, he also talked a little about the canceled “The Movie Critic” film that was supposed to be his swan song. While Tarantino didn’t get into any details of why he canceled it, not that Maher asked him, he did use it to debunk rumors and talk about all the misinformation that spreads about his movies because he’s not on social media to discredit them.

In short order, after only two seasons, HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere” has established itself as one of the best series on TV right now. The second season won a Peabody Award, and though there aren’t a lot of Emmy noms, series lead Bridget Everett has been nominated for Critics Choice and TCA awards. That’s in addition to the near-universal acclaim the show has received from critics.

Well, it seems like Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited 10th and final film will not be a “Toy Story” installment.
The director said during Bill Maher’s YouTube (video) podcast “Club Random” that the original “Toy Story” trilogy is one of the greatest trio of films of all time. According to Tarantino, the franchise overextended with the fourth installment. Well, he’s gonna hate this news: a fifth “Toy Story” was announced earlier this year with original director Andrew Stanton returning to the chair. “Toy Story 5” will center on children who become obsessed with technology; it is slated for a June 19, 2026 release.
“I don’t watch all the animated movies and stuff, but I’m a big fan of the ‘Toy Story’ trilogy,” Tarantino told Maher in the below video. “In the case of ‘Toy Story,’ the third one is just magnificent. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

Bridget Everett is finding her people, finally, in “Somebody Somewhere” Season 3.
The lead star, writer, and executive producer plays Sam, a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, one who is actually struggling to fit the hometown mold. Grappling with loss and acceptance, Sam’s singing — her saving grace — leads her on a journey to self-discovery. Along the way, she finds and bonds with a community of outsiders who don’t fit in — but they don’t give up either.
Her bestie Joel (Jeff Hiller), sister Trish (Mary Catherine Garrison), and pal Fred Rococo (Murray Hill) comprise her orbit. In Season 3, all of the characters experience “growth against all odds,” per the logline. It’s a coming-of-age show, but the age they’re coming to is middle age.
Ólafur Darri Ólafsson also joins the cast for the final season.

After extra actress Lauren Pagone admitted she was “caught off guard” by Francis Ford Coppola’s behavior on the “Megalopolis” set, the auteur is refuting claims of being inappropriate.
Coppola told Rolling Stone that allegations of him kissing extras against their will are “totally untrue” and were purposefully made public to “damage” the release of the film.
In a May report by The Guardian, multiple anonymous crew members said that Coppola incorporated “old school” tactics to “try to get [female extras] in the mood” for a nightclub scene. That included allegedly hugging and kissing actresses during takes.
“You’re talking about the Guardian piece, which is totally untrue. If you read that piece, you’ll realize that whoever the sources were — and I honestly don’t know who the sources were — it’s the same people who provided quotes for that Hollywood Reporter piece that said all these people were fired or resigned,...

If you read that piece, you’ll realize that whoever the sources were — and I honestly don’t know who the sources were — it’s the same people who provided quotes for that Hollywood Reporter piece that said all these people were fired or resigned,...

Christian Petzold’s latest feature marks another collaboration with actress Paula Beer. It’s their fourth film together.
Petzold will direct “Miroirs No. 3,” which just began production in Germany. The film centers on an aspiring pianist, Laura (Beer), whose life is upended when her boyfriend is killed in a car crash. Laura, who was also in the wreck, wanders into the house (and life) of a family of strangers who offer to take care of her. Their motivations turn out to not be as simple as they first appear.
Barbara Auer, Matthias Brandt, and Enno Trebs co-star.
Metrograph Pictures is distributing the feature in the U.S. The Match Factory negotiated the deal on behalf of the filmmakers and is handling worldwide sales.
“We could not be more excited to be working on this film and collaborating with Christian Petzold, a truly incredible and one-of-a-kind filmmaker,” David Laub, head of Metrograph Pictures,...

It’s been almost a year since “The Toxic Avenger” remake made its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2023. Typically, when you have a film with strong reviews (92% on Rotten Tomatoes) and an all-star cast, we’d expect to see the film quickly in theaters. But for this film, there’s been no word on when we might see it. It’s unbelievable to think “The Toxic Avenger” doesn’t have a distributor today. And it’s something that is confusing to the film’s star, Peter Dinklage, as well.

You may feel like you’ve seen plenty of films about college fraternities before, but you’ve never seen one quite like “The Line,” being released by Utopia in select theaters on October 18, with an expansion on October 23.
Director Ethan Berger’s film is way, way more than a “problem picture” about the evils of hazing and other negative aspects of campus Greek life, nor is it a comedy in the “Animal House” mode. It’s a deeply absorbing character study about why fraternities are appealing in the first place — one that then takes quite a turn in a very suspenseful direction to become an outright thriller. Watch the teaser trailer for “The Line” above, a IndieWire exclusive, set to the sweet sound of “neggy” by Husky Loops.

Outside of being a very good filmmaker, Quentin Tarantino is also one of the most opinionated film fans around. As someone who loves cinema and studies it, Tarantino just has a lot of opinions about the industry and films. And apparently, one of his many opinions is about Pixar’s “Toy Story” franchise.
Speaking on the Club Random podcast, Quentin Tarantino explained why he loves the “Toy Story” franchise.

There’s a scene in the documentary “Sugarcane” between co-director Julian Brave NoiseCat and his father Ed Archie NoiseCat that is as emotionally raw as anything you’ll see on screen this year. It’s a conversation about the unspoken and devasting trauma the father experienced as a child, and the lasting impact it had on his own shortcomings as a father. It’s a glimpse into a moment so deeply personal and private it is hard not to be aware of the presence of the camera.
“I’ll never forget the moment Julian confronted his dad about abandoning him,” said co-director Emily Kassie, who, along with Noisecat, was a guest on an upcoming episode of IndieWire’s Toolkit podcast. “It was one of the most visceral experiences of my life. I felt like a participant and an observer. What I remember most was hearing Julian’s heart beating through his microphone.

When canceling a series, Netflix will face some controversy. Fans are quick to flock to social media to object to such a decision. But if viewership doesn’t match a show’s budget, pulling the plug is something the streamer will do both without warning and regardless of the opinions of the viewing public. Just look at “Glow,” “Mindhunter,” and “Altered Carbon,” to name a few series that got the proverbial ax.

Let it be said that every offbeat crime series should begin with the discovery of a severed limb. Vince Vaughn has proven time and again his ability to transition from the snark that defined many an early role into a career that’s allowed him to stretch his less-humorous chops via dour turns on the worst-received season of “True Detective” to some aggression in “Brawl in Cell Block 99.” “Bad Monkey,” the latest from Apple TV+ prodigy Bill Lawrence and based on a book by Carl Hiaasen, sees Vaughn ease back into a character no one else but he could inhabit, surrounded by a show unsure of what it’s trying to accomplish.

When “Emily in Paris” Season 4 returns in September, there will be a (temporary) location change.
The titular Emily (Lily Collins) will leave the titular Paris behind for a long-teased Roman adventure. Season 4 Part 1, which premiered in August, left Emily at a crossroads, with her new sometimes-boyfriend, chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), still tied up with his ex, Camille (Camille Razat), whom he thinks is having his baby.
In the trailer for Part 2, Emily is clear about needing some distance — and a work trip to Rome (with a new hot guy; this show always seems to have one of those at the ready) seems the perfect distraction. After all, her boss Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) cracks, “It’s not the first time you mix business with pleasure. You’re actually quite good at it!”

In crafting his Emperor character in the upcoming legacy sequel “Gladiator II,” Joseph Quinn knew he had big shoes to fill. In the first film, Joaquin Phoenix’s performance as the power-hungry Emperor Commodus earned him an Academy Award nomination and helped propel the actor’s stardom. While Quinn and his co-star Fred Hechinger were careful to keep Phoenix’s performance in mind as they crafted their own, in a recent interview with Empire, he shared how he also found inspiration elsewhere.
“It was something we had a reverence for, but we didn’t want to…. soil with some kind of poor rendition,” Quinn said of Phoenix’s take on Commodus.
Instead, he and Hechinger looked to other villainous performances that were sometimes better than the heroes they’re facing off against. One that stood out to the two was Philip Seymour Hoffman’s ruthless Davian in “Mission: Impossible III,...

Looking to expand on the inclusivity the industry has been striving towards in the last few years, especially in the post-strike environment, the QueerCrip production company IndieVISIBLE Entertainment is announcing an expansion of its Production Accessibility training initiatives with the launch of the Access Instigators program.
Unveiled this past Friday, the Access Instigators program will be led by disabled industry experts and tailored towards disabled crew and creatives. The program aims to cultivate careers in Production Accessibility, a recently recognized film industry space that fosters accommodating production processes and spaces. This work was made possible through the support of the Pop Culture Collaborative Fund, a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
The 8-month pilot program will be comprised of up to 10 multiply-identifying disabled trainees, providing them with essential hard and soft skills for practicing production accessibility in professional settings from development through exhibition.

With “Only Murders in the Building,” Martin Short is receiving a late-career resurgence and in no small part thanks to longtime friend and collaborator Steve Martin. In addition to the series, the fourth season of which premieres this week, Short and Martin have co-starred in “The Three Amigos” and the 1991 remake of “Father of the Bride” and have staged multiple national comedy tours, including their 2018 routine, “Steve Martin and Martin Short: An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life,” now available to stream on Netflix. Despite their close-knit bond, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Short was quick to respond when asked who he’d replace Martin with should he need to.
“Oh, I’d phone Billy Crystal,” Short said.
Martin had been asked a similar question in his recently released Apple TV+ documentary, “Steve!,” to which he responded he’d probably quit, but Short...

Having had a career that’s spanned over 50 years, Isabelle Huppert knows a thing or two about cinema. She’s done epic westerns like “Heaven’s Gate” and erotic dramas like “The Piano Teacher,” worked with legends like Jean-Luc Godard and Paul Verhoeven, but no matter the genre or person behind the lens, Huppert thinks her work is best seen, as intended, on the big screen. Ahead of serving as Jury President at the 81st Venice Film Festival this week, Huppert spoke to The New York Times for a recent interview, in which she shared her appreciation for what festivals offer to cinema’s lasting health and her optimism for the medium’s future.
“Festivals are more and more important,” Huppert said. “We all know that with the development of new ways of watching movies such as streaming platforms — which do have their virtues — movie theaters are somewhat threatened. So festivals...

If the name Mattson Tomlin rings a bell, it should. After writing “Project Power” for Netflix starring Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tomlin’s career really took off. He was brought in to help Matt Reeves write on his first “Batman” film with Robert Pattinson, and while he eventually didn’t receive a credit when rewrites evolved, he is writing “The Batman – Part II” with Reeves.

As many have come to find out in recent years, being a child star isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Hollywood has many trappings even adult talent can fall into, so having to traverse this treacherous environment as a pre-teen or younger isn’t the easiest of feats. Add to this the online hate that’s permeated the entertainment industry in recent decades and you can imagine what a miracle it is that rising 21 year-old star Jenna Ortega has made it through relatively unscathed. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Ortega opened up about inappropriate DMs sent to her when she was a 12 year-old actress on “Jane the Virgin,” as well as pornographic AI-generated images of herself.

With $92 million this weekend, domestic gross for August should equal 2023 or come close for the first time since March. Holdovers get the credit: Three new wide releases grossed $19 million total, for about 20 percent of the weekend’s gross.
“Blink Twice” (Amazon MGM), the directorial debut of Zoë Kravitz and starring Channing Tatum, did best. to place fourth, with an underwhelming $7.3 million. With a cost of $20 million and Amazon streaming ahead, this edgy story of a billionaire hosting a group of young women at his island hideout at least got enough attention to elevate interest, despite a not entirely strong start in theaters.
Last week’s top two Disney titles swapped places. “Deadpool & Wolverine,” dropping only 39 percent in week five, took in $18.3 million for $577 million domestic, far above expectations and the best Marvel title since “Avengers: Endgame.” It projects to $625 million-$640 million, which will make it #2 for the summer behind...

It all started innocently enough. While finishing the shoot on his “Frankenstein” adaptation in Aderdeen, Scotland, Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro was warned of a haunted room within the hotel the crew were staying at. Rather than be repelled, the monster-lover was intrigued. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, del Toro documented his spectral adventures as if on a mission.
“Whilst in Aberdeen, I am staying in an old 1800’s hotel,” he wrote in a post this past week. “I am in the Most Haunted room of it — which was vacated this morning by one of our producers. Odd electrical and physical occurrences scared her into leaving asap. Stay tuned — if anything happens I will report.”
This is not the first time del Toro has faced down ghosts and ghouls apparently. Continuing his post, he said, “I always stay in ‘the most haunted rooms’ but only once did I...

Just as we did with our survey of Emmy-nominated editors, the IndieWire Craft team has taken the excuse of the Emmy voting period to reach out to the production designers nominated for their work on narrative series under an hour, hourlong contemporary, period, or fantasy series, and single-camera and multi-camera comedy series. Production design provides a great deal of any show’s visual worldbuilding, which is why the awards categories are divided not just by format but by setting, too. But regardless of whether they’re trying to make a seamless approximation of contemporary life or transport viewers to a heightened reality, there are similar demands on production designers and art teams to construct, decorate, and stage everything the characters move through.
We asked the Emmy nominees for production design about lessons they learned from their early work that they’ve taken onto the projects they’re now nominated for.

Disney has done a lot for Tim Burton, from offering him an apprenticeship in animation following his graduation from CalArts to producing his first live-action short film “Frankenweenie” (as well as the feature animated version), but his experience making “Dumbo” for the Mouse House was anything but magical. In a recent interview with Variety, Burton shared that the circumstance was so dire, he even considered retiring following its release. However, his work on the Netflix series “Wednesday” and the upcoming legacy sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” helped him find his love for the craft again.
“Honestly, after ‘Dumbo,’ I really didn’t know. I thought that could have been it, really. I could have retired, or become… well, I wouldn’t have become an animator again, that’s over. (Laughs) But this did reenergize me,” Burton said of working on “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.” “Oftentimes, when you get into Hollywood, you try to be...

Netflix dropped the red band trailer for “Terminator Zero,” the anime series from Skydance and animation studio Production I.G. (premiering August 29), which touts its brutal action and gory violence. The 2D franchise makeover was created and executive produced by Mattson Tomlin (“The Batman — Part II” co-writer) and directed by Masashi Kudo.
In an alternative to James Cameron’s Sarah Connor storyline, a Terminator (Timothy Olyphant) is sent from 2022 to Japan in 1997 to kill scientist Malcolm Lee (André Holland), who’s developing a powerful AI system, Kokoro (Rosario Dawson), to thwart Skynet’s impending attack on humanity. But the creepy, unrelenting cyborg assassin faces an extraordinary foe in Eiko (Sonoya Mizuno), a resistance soldier sent from 2022 to protect Lee and his three kids.

Having witnessed the offensive response to John Boyega’s 2014 casting in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” when Naomi Ackie was cast in Episode IX of the popular franchise, “Rise of Skywalker,” she took no chances in letting online trolls get to her. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter for a recent interview on her career, “Blink Twice” star Ackie reflected on being told by insiders to delete her Instagram in order to avoid any potential backlash that may come from her casting.
“I had heard that anyone of color would get wrapped up in some racist shit,” she said. “I didn’t want to have a place for them to come with their comments.”
However, once Disney realized she’d deleted her platform our of fear, they worked to get her back on and feeling safe in the process.

Jackson Lamb isn’t your typical spy. He’s not the image that comes to mind when you think James Bond or Jack Ryan, but Gary Oldman, the Emmy-nominated actor behind the “Slow Horses” character, wouldn’t have it any other way. One of the big things that attracted Oldman to a role in a long-form TV series was that Lamb engages in his own unique form of espionage, one that allows him to lean into his baser instincts. And even though he may come off as disheveled to most, Oldman shared in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times that it’s all part of how he keeps people on their toes.
“The idea behind the dirty [raincoat] and the smell of whiskey and cigarettes is that he’s playing chess,” Oldman said. “That’s one of the great joys of playing him. That and the fact that he has no filter,...

If the idea of “Joker in Space” wasn’t enough of an indication that Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix were more than comfortable throwing everything at the wall when coming up with a follow-up to their 2019 hit “Joker,” then perhaps their pitch for Joker on Broadway will convince you. Talking to Variety for a recent interview, Phillips and Phoenix discussed the process of developing a sequel to “Joker” and how they eventually landed on their musical concept for “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
Even before “Joker” hit theaters, receiving critical acclaim and over a billion dollars at the box office, Phoenix and Phillips knew they had to follow the character further. Phoenix would even have dreams of Arthur Fleck on stage, singing and joking.
“Todd was in the wings talking to me through a headset,” Phoenix said of the dreams. “I woke up feeling elated and called him, hoping he’d...

Though their summer film series at Hollywood Forever Cemetery may be coming to a close, Cinespia still has a few surprises left up their sleeves for this fall. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios, the Los Angeles screening organization is proud to unveil their October line-up, which includes a 50th anniversary celebration of the original 1974 version of “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” (10/5), a 15th anniversary showing of “Coraline” (10/12), and “Trick ‘r Treat” (10/19). To close out the season, Cinespia will also be having an indoor Halloween screening of the original 1977 version of “Suspiria” from Dario Argento on October 31 at The Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.
“What better way to embrace the spooky season than by watching horror classics under the stars at a cemetery?” said John Wyatt, founder of Cinespia. “We’re also thrilled to return to The Orpheum for the second consecutive year, hosting our fans on Halloween night for...

Is Denzel Washington considering retirement? Maybe so. Yes, he’s got “Gladiator II” coming out this November, a Spike Lee-directed remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “High and Low” in the can, and an epic re-teaming with frequent collaborator Antoine Fuqua on the horizon, but in a recent interview with Empire, the Academy Award-winning actor and occasional writer/director hinted that his career may be winding down, but it’s filmmakers like Ridley Scott that keep him interested.
“There are very few films left for me to make that I’m interested in, and I have to be inspired by the filmmaker, and I was tremendously inspired by Ridley,” Washington said, referencing his experience on “Gladiator II.”
Washington shared that his previous experience working with Scott on “American Gangster” helped persuade him to take on the role of Macrinus, a wealthy arms dealer in “Gladiator II” who “wants to be...

However exciting it was for Lily Gladstone to receive her own first Emmy nomination for her work in the Hulu series “Under the Bridge,” the more meaningful aspect of her Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie nod was seeing “True Detective: Night Country” breakout Kali Reis be honored as well. “I love that I’m not alone in this category. Having just had a bunch of first time historical monikers applied to me, there’s something that’s very lonely about that,” the recent Oscar nominee told IndieWire over Zoom. “So it’s great to carry that with another actress who turned in just this stellar performance, and then just represents a whole other aspect of how diverse and how important it is to highlight how diverse Indian country is.”
