Our first look at director David Fincher’s new film “The Killer,” which debuts on Netflix in November after a limited theatrical run, has arrived in the form of a gorgeously illustrated poster that puts star Michael Fassbender front and center.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alexis Nolent, the film follows an assassin who’s battling his employers (and himself) on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal. Fincher’s frequent collaborator Andrew Kevin Walker (“Seven”) wrote the screenplay, and the film reunites the filmmaker with his “Mank” cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt as well as other longtime companions – composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross handle the score and Donald Graham Burt is the production designer.
Illustrated by Luc Jacamon and first debuted by The Fincher Analyst, the poster – which is timed to the film’s world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 3 – evokes...

Cliff Twemlow is an obscure figure even by British B-movie standards, a handsome, no-nonsense former Manchester nightclub doorman who attempted to create a Hollywood of the north in the early ’80s and ’90s. Born in 1937, a fact he tried to cloud for many years, he was something of a renaissance man: He acted in soaps, he composed lucrative library music, he wrote a novel about a killer pike, and, after a wounding experience with a botched adaptation of his autobiographical novel Tuxedo Warrior, he decided to become a filmmaker himself.
His first production, G.B.H. (1982), was shot on video — the grainy, ugly, analog kind — and it rode on the coattails of the recent hit The Long Good Friday. Twemlow starred as a handsome, no-nonsense Manchester nightclub doorman, hired to protect a local nightclub from a protection racket after returning from a stretch in prison.

Think back to your very worst day, the one that makes you cringe with shame or shudder into sobs when you think about it. Did it happen in middle school? In high school? At a party? At the Dmv? On a plane? Do you think about it every second of the day? Does it define you? Did it become the sum total of your entire life’s work, to the degree that it is the only thing potential partners or employers or teachers or admissions boards ever knew about you?...

Some of the top TikTok stars in Central Asia are coming together for a drama series, and the show’s creators are planning to engage with their viewers in a unique way. Kazakhstan’s Jks Entertainment and 1Os Studios are producing Target, an eight-episode program that will unite beloved influencers — and pair them up as the audience sees fit.
Target will combine elements of mystery, romance, drama, and sci-fi to tell the story of an elite private high school. The show is similar to other projects that have spotlighted top TikTokers, in that the app’s culture will become part of the plot. In Target‘s case, the central mystery will be set off by strange DMs that arrive on the protagonist’s phone.
It is Target‘s cast, rather than its premise, that will command attention. The cast includes influencers who are huge in Kazakhstan and live in shared creator houses.

Every so often, when you hear that a painting by Picasso just sold at auction for a record $179 million, or that a Pollock or a Basquiat or a Jeff Koons now routinely fetch prices worthy of a Silicon Valley start-up, it’s easy to wonder what, exactly, is going on. Is this a true expression of the art’s value? Or is it the symptom of some skyrocketing hothouse bubble that has decadently transformed art into gold?
“The Price of Everything,” Nathaniel Kahn’s brilliant and captivating documentary about how the art world got converted into a money market, is shrewd enough to know that the answer is both. The movie gazes, with a good amount of woe (but also with the pleasurable voyeuristic charge that tends to accompany displays of great wealth), at what the art world has become: the staggering auctions at Sotheby’s and Christie’s, where masterpieces,...

Kristen Wiig makes her much-anticipated first return to Saturday Night Live tonight after leaving at the end of last season. After a week of weird last time with Zach Galifianakis, Wiig’s fans are likely hoping the show goes two-for-two on the zany front, allowing Wiig to bring back some of her favorites such as Penelope or Target Lady. (Sorry, but in my opinion the Gilly drink with Justin Timberlake was more than enough of that character this season.)

Imogene begins with a childhood flashback of a young girl, which is then followed by an extended point-of-view shot of the same woman many years later. While these are two distinctly different forms of cinematic storytelling, they each try to establish that this will be a film that explores womanhood and its challenges and inherent humor. The woman at the center of this is, of course, to be portrayed by Kristen Wiig.
What brought Ms. Wiig to fame was without a doubt her seven-season tenure on Saturday Night Live. She became the star of the show because of her range of characters, from the easily excitable Midwestern Target Lady to the devilish middle-school student Gilly. While each of these personas were distinct, they showed that Wiig was somewhat of an “auteur” actress. Her vocal and facial ticks; often inward speaking and subtle-to-the-point-of-exaggeration movements with her mouth were definitely “of a piece.

John Singleton got off to a remarkable start with his directorial debut, Boyz N the Hood, one of the freshest movies about African-American ghetto life and social responsibility. I'll never forget seeing him sitting in the row behind me at its world premiere, an afternoon press screening at Cannes in 1991, where, flanked by Quincy Jones on his right and Spike Lee on his left, he rose shyly to his feet and took off his baseball cap to acknowledge the standing ovation. He's never made anything of comparable quality, and his latest, an espionage thriller, is an efficient, anonymous movie. Abduction takes a subject made familiar by Arthur Penn's Target, Renny Harlin's The Long Kiss Goodnight and Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids: the discovery by children that apparently conventional suburban parents are in fact deadly Us government agents who have been keeping a low profile.

Yesterday Arthur Penn, the director of Bonnie and Clyde, died aged 88. We look back over his career in clips
Arthur Penn cut his teeth as a director on the American television drama circuit of the 1950s, contributing to a range of the playhouse and showcase series that were a staple of the industry. Western stories were among the episodes he delivered and his feature debut was a genre piece, a version of the Billy the Kid story called The Left Handed Gun (1958), starring Paul Newman, also at the start of his cinema career after a small-screen apprenticeship. The film had hints of the broadly sympathetic – or at least empathetic – view of outlaw psychology that would mark Penn's most famous film.
For his next film, Penn drew on his stage directing experience, transferring to the screen the Broadway production of The Miracle Worker in which he directed Anne Sullivan and Patty Duke...

American director best known for Bonnie and Clyde, he focused on disillusioned outsiders
Arthur Penn, who has died aged 88, was one of the major figures of Us television, stage and film in the 1960s and 70s when the three disciplines actively encouraged experimentation, innovation and challenging subject matter. "I think the 1960s generation was a state of mind," he said, "and it's really the one I've been in since I was born." He will be best remembered for Bonnie and Clyde (1967), a complex and lyrical study of violent outsiders whose lives became the stuff of myth.
The film, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, and based on the exploits of the bank-robbing Barrow Gang in the 1930s, became a cause celebre. It was praised and attacked for its distortion, bad taste and glorification of violence in equal measure. Newsweek's critic, Joseph Morgenstern, retracted his initial view of the film's violence,...
