Bros Trailer Billy Eichner S Rom Com Redefines Queer Representation

The queer rom-com is comprised of an entirely LGTBQ+ cast, and centers on Eichner playing a podcast host who is tasked with writing a romance film that appeals to straight audiences. In real life, Eichner penned the script for “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” with director Nicholas Stoller, who also helms “Bros.” The film premieres in theaters September 30. The trailer shows Eichner’s character arguing that gay and straight relationships really don’t have much in common, calling the monolithic myth “bullshit....

Creed 3 Jonathan Majors Punched In Face 100 Times While Filming

When “Creed II” was released in 2018, it cemented Michael B. Jordan’s status as the face of the “Rocky” franchise moving forward. Now, the “Black Panther” star is stepping back into the ring for “Creed 3,” which is slated to hit theaters later this year. He’s also directing the film, which will mark his directorial debut. “Lovecraft Country” star Jonathan Majors joined the franchise as Creed’s latest opponent, and it sounds like he pushed his body to the limit for the film....

Dahmer Journalist Says Netflix Series Is Inaccurate

The latest voice to weigh in on the show is Anne Schwartz, a journalist who broke the story of Dahmer’s killings when she worked as a crime reporter for the Milwaukee Journal in 1991. In a new interview with The Independent, Schwartz criticized the show on different grounds: she thinks it takes too much artistic license, and said that the series “does not bear a great deal of resemblance to the facts of the case....

Don T Worry Darling Cinematographer Denies Problems

Many theorize the highly publicized drama is a result of friction between Wilde and Pugh that began on set, with Wilde’s attempts to cast Shia LaBeouf and subsequent relationship with Styles cited as potential catalysts. But Matthew Libatique, the film’s director of photography, sees things differently. In a new appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Behind the Screen” podcast, Libatique denied witnessing any tension between cast and crew while shooting the psychological thriller....

Donnie Darko Christopher Nolan Suggestion Shaped The Film

“Chris and his wife, it was their idea to put the parenthetical beneath the title cards,” Kelly said. Kelly has often spoke about Christopher Nolan’s role in getting “Donnie Darko” released. Nolan and Thomas worked with former studio Newmarket on the production and distribution of their breakout indie hit “Memento,” and they attended a private screening of “Donnie Darko” for the Newmarket executives at a time when “Donnie Darko” was failing to find a distributor....

Emergency Trailer Carey Williams Sundance Breakout College Comedy

Director Carey William’s Sundance breakout premieres stars Donald Elise Watkins and RJ Cyler as college seniors looking to get down for Spring Break. But their “legendary tour” of the most elite parties takes an unexpected turn after the roommates discover a drunk, semi-conscious woman (Maddie Nichols) in their apartment. Even worse: Their roommate, played by Sebastian Chacon, has no idea when the girl appeared. As the college students debate over calling the cops to report a drunk white woman nearly passed out at the home of two Black men with their Latino roommate, they decide to transport the girl somewhere safe themselves....

The final night of Emmys in these categories saw a few fan favorites be recognized. HBO’s runaway hit “Euphoria” won its second Emmy of the year after winning for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Doniella Davy, Kirsten Coleman, and Tara Lang walked away with the award for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup. The show was also up for an Emmy for their costumes but the Contemporary Costume win went to Debra Hanson and Darci Cheyne for the final season of Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek....

False Positive Review Ilana Glazer S Pregnancy Thriller Is Just Bad

Trapped in some bizarre movie genre hinterland, wholly resistant to veering too far in any direction, this aimless film isn’t dark enough to be scary, funny enough to be a comedy, or smart enough to say anything about the many topics it seems to want to tackle. Ambition and ideas aren’t in short supply in the film, written by Lee and star Ilana Glazer, who previously worked together on Glazer’s winning comedy series “Broad City....

Fire Island How A Gay Asian American Trio Made Summer S Best Comedy

As the likes of Kate McKinnon, Billy Eichner, and Bowen Yang ascended from New York’s musty improv theaters to the casts of “Saturday Night Live” and Disney remakes, the last decade has brought a remarkable shift in not only queer visibility but something far more substantial — queer influence. Queer TV shows like “The Other Two,” “Search Party,” and “Schitt’s Creek” reflect this sea change, but so far movies have been much slower on the uptake....

The quest to build Mars started, though, with Google Earth. “We’re really living in such an amazing time with the information coming from Mars with the recent rovers in the last decade and a half, two decades,” VFX supervisor Jay Redd told IndieWire. “We identified [possible locations] through some real data that we got from maps and even using Google Earth, crazy enough, being able to kind of go in and fly around....

Home Alone Director Chris Columbus Disney Reboot Is Waste Of Time

In a new interview with Insider, Columbus rails against the idea of rebooting his beloved comedy favorite. The director revealed nobody from the Disney+ production got in touch with him about jumpstarting a new “Home Alone” television franchise — not that Columbus thinks a “Home Alone” reboot is needed. “It’s a waste of time as far as I’m concerned. What’s the point?” Columbus said. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t remake films that have had the longevity of ‘Home Alone....

I Care A Lot Review Rosamund Pike Is Hilariously Icy In Thriller

Filmmaker J Blakeson makes one fatal flaw in his darkly funny thriller “I Care a Lot,” an understandable misstep because it seems like such a fundamental addition to any film: he tries to humanize his characters. While the film’s first half leans into the icy, often hilarious villainy of such very bad people as a ponytailed crime boss played by Peter Dinklage, a smarmy lawyer (Chris Messina) who dresses as if Colonel Sanders was a stand-up comedian, and star Rosamund Pike, returning to her frosty “Gone Girl” best, its messy final act attempts a brief foray into making some of these outsize monsters more civilized....

Icarus The Aftermath Review Oscar Winning Doping Doc Gets Sequel

And yet, despite its envelope-pushing search for the truth, “Icarus” ended as almost all documentaries do: The audience’s eyes are opened and the subject who did the revealing fades into the background. Toward the end of the film, Rodchenkov’s lawyer, Jim Walden, appears to explain that his client is now in hiding, dodging the Russian government’s hit squads. Even in a cinematic landscape proliferated by sequels, documentaries rarely return with a part two....

In Treatment Master Of None And New Seasons That Aren T The Same

[Editor’s note: This article contains major spoilers for “Master of None” Season 3.] If Peak TV has taught us anything, it’s impossible to have too much of a good thing. That’s why “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire” still airs five nights a week in primetime and all of NBC’s Thursday night sitcoms are super-sized. OK, so neither of those things are true, but that hasn’t stopped the TV industry from looking into other ways of sating a fanbase’s every desire....

Indiana Jones 5 Wraps Filming

Frank Marshall, who has produced all four of the previous Indiana Jones films, along with the “Bourne” and “Back to the Future” franchises and many a beloved Steven Spielberg film, took to Twitter to announce that the film has finished shooting. “That’s a wrap!!!” he tweeted, along with a picture of an Indiana Jones baseball hat. After years of false starts and delays, the film’s completion should come as welcome news to fans eagerly awaiting another adventure from the globetrotting archeologist....

The film’s an anime rock opera set in 14th century feudal Japan about the friendship between two cursed musical performers, who serve as historical versions of modern-day stars with theatrical fearlessness: the real-life, enigmatic Inu-Oh (Avu-chan from fashion punk Queen Bee), a Noh dancer who dramatizes the Heike’s slaughter at sea in the Battle of Dan-no-ura, and Tomona (Mirai Moriyama), a blind biwa player who chronicles the story in song....

Mare Of Easttown Review Kate Winslet S Riveting Hbo Mystery

These local mysteries are the other story, but writer Brad Ingelsby (“The Way Back”), director Craig Zobel (“The Leftovers”), and an impeccable ensemble cast create so many area-specific details you’d be forgiven for forgetting that there are two cases to solve. Little happens in the premiere, yet it commands your attention — an achievement in its own right. The first episode is built around introductions, unveiling the murder at the very end, but as the seven-episode limited series pushes forward, the crime drama builds momentum and ends episodes on critical cliffhangers as pressure mounts on Mare....

Memoria Review Apichatpong S Latest Is More Meditation Than Movie

With Tilda Swinton’s puzzled gaze as its guide, “Memoria” amounts to a haunting, introspective look at one woman’s attempts to uncover the roots of a mysterious sound that only she can hear. More than that, it’s a masterful and engrossing response to rush of modern times and the collective amnesia it creates. Anyone frustrated by its patience only serves to prove the point. All of which means that “Memoria” is more meditation than movie, a transfixing deep-dive into the profound challenges of relating to people and places from the outside in....

Mi Iubita Mon Amour Review No Mie Merlant S Directorial Debut

Neatly split into two sections — “Mi Iubita” (Romanian for “my beloved”), and “Mon Amour” (same sentiment, in French) — Merlant’s film seems to promise one love story told from two perspectives, but one of those characters (portrayed by Merlant herself) is frustratingly impenetrable. Still, the film is a two-hander from top to bottom: Merlant wrote it alongside her co-star and on-screen love interest Gimi-Nicole Covaci, and the film follows the pair (Merlant as reserved French tourist Jeanne, Covaci as the gentle Romani teenager unexpectedly thrown into her path) as they navigate an unlikely (and very uncomfortable) romance during a few misbegotten, sweaty summer days....
