Based on the true-crime bestseller by Jon Krakauer, the limited FX series for Hulu stars Andrew Garfield as a devout detective whose faith is put to the test as he investigates a brutal double murder that seems to be connected to an esteemed Utah family’s spiral into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fundamentalism. Daisy Edgar-Jones portrays a faithful church follower who is one of the murder victims, while Sam Worthington, Denise Gough, Wyatt Russell, Billy Howle, Gil Birmingham, Adelaide Clemens, Rory Culkin, Seth Numrich, Chloe Pirrie, Sandra Seacat, and Christopher Heyerdahl complete the ensemble cast....

The trailer offers the first substantive look at “WandaVision” since the show’s first tease during a Disney+ Super Bowl ad in February. The trailer doesn’t shed much light on how Vision (Paul Bettany) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olson) are together, but there’s a tease that Vision’s death in “Avengers: Infinity War” indeed happened. Marvel Studios has billed “WandaVision” as a blending of the style of classic sitcoms with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda and Vision — two super-powered beings living their ideal suburban lives — begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems....

But they, like the documentary, understand why we still need to talk about Bill Cosby. As Bell states in his opening narration, plenty of people make passing comments on the matter — whether it’s celebrities on talk shows or posts on social media — without getting to the root of what his actions exemplify in American culture. Over four hours, “We Need to Talk About Cosby” details the indisputable contributions he made to the world without ever drifting too far from the toxic behavior inflicted on the many, many individuals he hurt....

The Netflix Oscar contender follows Black teenage orphan Kat (Lyric Ross), who makes a bargain with demon siblings Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Peele) to bring her parents back to life. Selick’s admiration for Key and Peele’s eponymous sketch-comedy series led to their involvement, with Peele taking an active role as producer and co-writer, emphasizing the subversive horror/comedy ethos with people of color that he’s established through his Monkeypaw Productions label....

But because this type of bold experimentation required greater stylization and 3D augmentation than they were accustomed to, the directors tapped an outside the box specialist to supervise the three-minute Wolfvision footage: Eimhin McNamara, owner of the Paper Panther studio in Dublin. “We had absolutely no idea of what the finished look would be,” added Stewart. “But we knew that we had to have something really immersive and almost like a roller coaster ride so that when the audience are watching it, the people go, ‘Oh, wow, what the hell is this?...

It is also a nearly impossible figure to judge in context. Patty Jenkins’ initial DC Comics film, opening globally in May 2017, grossed $100 million its first weekend. The last time Christmas fell on Friday (allowing a maximum weekend environment to thrive), “The Force Awakens” grossed $149 million — in its second weekend. Last year, with the holiday on Wednesday, “The Rise of Skywalker,” again in its second weekend, grossed $72 million across the three days....

“Stonewall Uprising” The title says it all. This 2011 documentary directed by David Heilbroner and Kate Davis, details the 1969 Stonewall Riots. The three-day uprising, which was sparked after police raided a gay bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village, launched the modern day gay rights movement. You can rent “Stonewall Uprising” on Prime Video or purchase the film on DVD. “We Can Be Gay Today” Released in 2014, “We Can Be Gay Today” takes audiences inside the struggle for equality in Lithuania, one of the most homophobic states in the European Union....

Halloween is the season for horror, of course. But October also means fall TV is in full swing, so it’s also the season for comedy, animation, drama, and more. TV shows of all kinds honor this spooky time of year, be it through explicit celebrations of the season or more abstract explorations of dark themes like existential dread, societal corruption, and the hubris of humanity. Instead of just binging television horror this season — “Yellowjackets” is for winter!...

While “Mank” is the most nominated movie at the 2021 Globes, IndieWire’s awards expert Anne Thompson predicts “The Trial of the Chicago 7” will win the prize for Best Motion Picture Drama. While “Nomadland” could win over “Chicago 7,” that film is more of a surefire bet to earn Chloe Zhao the Best Director prize. On the Comedy/Musical side of the film race, Thompson writes it will be a big night for “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” with predicted wins for Best Picture, Best Actor (Sacha Baron Cohen), and Best Actress (Maria Bakalova)....

Last year’s film SAG Awards nominations were dominated by the likes of “The Irishman” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” but it was Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” ensemble that took home the top prize for Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture. The “Parasite” win marked the first time a non-English-language movie was awarded SAG’s biggest prize. “Parasite” went on to win the Best Picture Oscar. All four SAG film acting winners repeated at the Oscars: Renee Zellweger for Best Actress (“Judy”), Brad Pitt for Best Supporting Actor (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”), Joaquin Phoenix for Best Actor (“Joker”), and Laura Dern for Best Supporting Actress (“Marriage Story”)....

Some categories, like Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Best Actor in a Drama, even had multiple nominees from the same show; four of the seven slots in the former category were taken up by actresses from “The White Lotus.” It was proof of a core problem when it comes to issues of nominee diversity: Not only were the voters not looking at different actors for nominations, they also weren’t watching nearly as much television to begin with, preferring instead to stick with a few popular shows as opposed to spreading the love....

“Hollywoodland” will open in late Spring 2023, and will trace the history of filmmaking in Los Angeles to the beginning of the 20th century. According to the release, “it will foreground the ways in which the birth of the American film industry — and therefore the projected depiction of the American Dream — is truly an immigrant story.” Also coming are galleries devoted to Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” and the influences of French auteur Agnès Varda and World War II classic “Casablanca,” as well as an exhibition focused on John Singleton’s groundbreaking “Boyz n the Hood....

Alamo has 41 locations in 10 states. Theater amenities include in-theater eating and drinking, specialized programming to supplement studio wide releases, and its signature audience-control rules (i.e. no talking during films). The Kansas City location is one of Alamo’s company-owned core cinemas, rather than a franchisee. In September of 2017, IndieWire reported on allegations of sexual assault and harrassment from five women against former Alamo Drafthouse associate and Ain’t It Cool News founder Harry Knowles....

The distributor says the doc has a bombshell premise: The film will show that most of the United States’ coronavirus-associated deaths — totaling 190,000 this week — the lockdowns, and most of the economic damage could have been prevented if the federal government had done its job properly. “The carelessly designed lockdowns and their long-lasting economic effects have led to massive job losses (23 million/14.7 percent in April), widespread hunger, dislocation and a runaway federal deficit....

“This new film by director Tom McCarthy, starring Matt Damon, is ‘loosely based’ or ‘directly inspired by’ the ‘Amanda Knox saga,’ as Vanity Fair put it in a for-profit article promoting a for-profit film, neither of which I am affiliated with,” Knox wrote. “I want to pause right here on that phrase: ‘the Amanda Knox saga.’ What does that refer to? Does it refer to anything I did? No. It refers to the events that resulted from the murder of Meredith Kercher by a burglar named Rudy Guede....
