Christian Bale said he had a hard time on the set of “Amsterdam” with co-star Chris Rock, but it wasn’t because they didn’t get along. Just the opposite: Rock made Bale laugh so much he couldn’t stay in character while working on the David O. Russell film.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stories of Black Panther have so far focused primarily on the character of T’Challa – from his introduction in Captain America: Civil War, through to groundbreaking solo outing Black Panther, and into Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame – as he took over the mantle from his fallen father King T’Chaka. But following the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman, Ryan Coogler’s sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be a very different kind of Black Panther movie – one without T’Challa at its centre, though still very much about his legacy.

There once was a highly evolved being who descended to Earth from the heavens, bringing a message of peace and salvation to the unwashed masses of humanity sprawled across their planet. These people reacted to this visitor from beyond their world with a mixture of hope, fear, trepidation, suspicion, and eventually outright hostility.

The top movie over the weekend at Vudu was Marvel and Walt Disney’sDIS +0.3% Thor: Love and Thunder, with ParamountPARA -2.4% and Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick placing second. The size of Top Gun 2’s haul ($705 million domestic and $1.453 billion thus far) has put the MCU on the defensive despite objectively high earnings for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($955 million) and Thor: Love and Thunder ($750 million).

Neill Blomkamp, better known for his sci-fi movies such as 'District 9' and 'Elysium,' is directing the project that is inspired by both the best-selling video game and true story about one of its players.

The long-running “Scream” franchise is moving out of Woodsboro and coming to New York City for its upcoming sixth installment. It’s a creative decision that will make the franchise all the more terrifying, says cast member Melissa Barrera. No “Scream” film has ever been set in the big city.

Jordan Peele earned his status as one of Hollywood’s most important new filmmakers when he arrived on the directorial scene with Get Out (2017), a psychological horror film with themes of internalized racism and the lingering effects of slavery. He followed it up with Us (2019), another introspective horror that served as a social critique of classism and “Othering” in America.

I think it’s safe to assume that most of you have at least heard about the film Interstellar. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starred by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain, the 2014 movie was a hit. Many consider it the best sci-fi movie ever made (thus far). And part of this success is due to the black hole in the movie.

Tim Blake Nelson, who last appeared in 2008’s Incredible Hulk, will return as The Leader. Carl Lumbly is back as original super soldier Isaiah Bradley after playing him in Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Danny Ramirez returns as Joaquin Torres, while MCU newcomer Shira Haas will play Israeli hero Sabra.

Brendan Fraser, the star of the Venice-premiering movie “The Whale,” says he needed to “learn how to move in a new way” in order to play his character Charlie, who weighs 600 lbs.

Pop star Harry Styles may be in one of the most hotly anticipated movies at the Venice Film Festival, but he still considers himself a newbie in the acting world. The musician told journalists in Venice: “Music I’ve done a little longer so I’m a bit more comfortable. What I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.”

It must be gratifying for filmmakers to know that the Monday after Prey’s premiere on Hulu (and Disney+ in Europe), many were debating whether the Predator prequel should’ve been released in theaters. The quality is certainly good enough with the film generally impressing most critics as demonstrated by its 92 percent “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. A majority of viewers also seem pleased if social media chatter is to be believed.

Ever since Phase 3, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been witnessing a severe decline in quality, with several movies such as Captain Marvel and Black Panther focusing more and more on identity politics and feminism. Nonetheless, we also got some of the finest of MCU in Phase 3, such as Captain America: Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. It is only from MCU Phase 4 that Marvel movies have truly become sub-par in every single aspect. Why is it so?

Even after hanging up 007’s Walther PPK, Daniel Craig is still on a mission. Fresh from his Bond finale in No Time To Die, he’s got a brand new murder-mystery to solve as Benoit Blanc in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery – Rian Johnson’s hugely-anticipated not-exactly-a-sequel to Knives Out.

IN 2018, Instagram personality Lil Miquela joined the likes of Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, and Donald Trump on Time’s list of “25 Most Influential People on the Internet.” One of those four is not like the other. And we’re not talking about the FBI’s current person of interest, either.

Christina Ricci may be revisiting her role in “The Addams Family” for Netflix’s “Wednesday” series, but that’s the only kooky character from the 1990s she’s willing to look back on. The “Yellowjackets” star revealed during the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast that she can’t rewatch the 1995 ghost movie “Casper” because of how embarrassing she feels her performance is.

Howard told Insider reports about a pay gap for 2018's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" were inaccurate but Pratt pushed for equal pay in other areas. The "Jurassic World" star Bryce Dallas Howard exclusively told Insider that she was paid "so much less" than her costar Chris Pratt for the movie franchise than reports initially indicated.

In what has turned out to be a tour de force week for subscription streaming video premieres, Hulu's Prey stood out as refreshingly strong prequel take on the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic, Predator. Disney put out a news release Tuesday touting the direct-to-streaming release of Prey on Friday as the Hulu joint venture's most successful premiere ever, on a time viewed basis, for an original movie or TV show.

On the heels of its decision to dump Batgirl, Warner Bros. is looking to assure fans that it still has future plans for DC movies. The studio has announced that Joker 2, called, at least on co-writer/directed Todd Phillips' posted script cover, Joker: Folie à deux will hit cinemas in autumn 2024.

“Nope” director Jordan Peele thought it might be taking things a little too far when a fan proposed he could be the best horror director of all time. “I know this is a hot take but at what point do we declare Jordan Peele the best horror director of all time?” wrote comic book creator Adam Ellis Wednesday morning on Twitter. “Can you think of another horror director that had 3 great films, let alone 3 in a row? I can’t.”
