One weird thing that happens with long-running franchises is that they eventually reach a point where the creatives leading the new movies grew up as fans of the old ones. Sometimes this is a bad thing — it arguably leads to an increase in lazy fan-service at the expense of any bold, innovative creative decisions — but other times it just makes the whole thing feel even more exciting. To know that the new people in charge truly care about the lore can go a long way in keeping viewers on board.
Even outside the writing and the directing department, it's fun when the actors involved love the series, as was the case with "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" star Anya Taylor-Joy. Although it doesn't sound like she's a die-hard fan of the original "Mad Max" films from the '70s and '80s, she does clearly have a ton of respect for "Mad Max: Fury Road,...

Brandy Norwood (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer) will return to horror in the upcoming A24 movie The Front Room, and the film has been given a release date today.

Standing tall as one of the most well-decorated filmmakers of recent times and the director of the highest-grossing movie ever by a female director, Greta Gerwig put her best foot forward with Barbie. The mega-movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, as its leads, rode on the creative vision of the 40-year-old as it brought to life Mattel’s doll in a story that revolved around breaking stereotypes and the boundaries between fictional and real universes.

Several months ago, we got our first look at the “crazy vampire hunter” character Willem Dafoe plays in The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman writer/director Robert Eggers‘ remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (watch it Here) – but we still haven’t gotten a good look at the title character, who is brought to life this time around by Bill Skarsgard (It). It would probably be for the best if we don’t see Skarsgard’s Count Orlok until the film reaches theatres on Wednesday, December 25th – but during a new interview with Esquire, the actor did discuss the process of playing the character, which he said was like conjuring pure evil.
During his conversation with Esquire, Skarsgard revealed that, during the Nosferatu production, he had to spend three to six hours every day getting the makeup and prosthetics put on so he could become Count Orlok.

While we’ve seen Dracula on the big screen in recent films including Renfield, The Last Voyage of the Demeter and this year’s Abigail, director Robert Eggers is going in a bit of a different direction with his next movie. He’s getting set to unleash Nosferatu, a new take on the classic film that predates the Bela Lugosi Dracula.
Bill Skarsgård will be playing the title character (also known as Count Orlok) for Robert Eggers, and he teases his top secret performance in a new chat with Esquire this week.
We say “top secret,” of course, because the movie’s marketing hasn’t yet revealed the look of the character. But it sounds like Skarsgård dove scary deep into the role. For starters, Esquire explains that the actor “worked with an opera singer to bring his voice down to its lowest possible pitch,” and “spent three to six...

Anya Taylor-Joy is one of the few, but increasing number of bonafide female superstars in Hollywood. Once upon a time, the industry was regularly criticized for a perceived poor representation of women in its arcs. Often used to inculcate glamor than a genuine vehicle for storytelling, times have indeed been changing, with a number of women-centric roles and projects giving them the kind of representation they have always deserved.

HBO’s House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones, is about to release its second season. Not much attention was paid to House Stark in the first season of House of the Dragon, hence it is one of the Houses that fans overlooked. The arrival of one of the most well-known Starks in history will bring us to Winterfell in Season 2. However, not all Starks (or their bastards) will be getting equal screen time.
Sara Snow might’ve negligible appearance on House of the Dragon
Besides Lord Cregan Stark, fans are looking forward to seeing Sara Snow, Jacaerys’ alleged love interest from Fire & Blood. However, she might not have a lot of screen time, as writer Sara Hess recently said this to EW about her, “Expect very little.”
She added: “Our Pov is the Targaryens, and our Pov is split between King’s Landing, Dragonstone, and then when Daemon goes to Harrenhal.

Anya Taylor-Joy is opening up about why she has fought for several of her characters to express onscreen rage.
During a wide-ranging interview for a GQ cover story, the Emmy-nominated actress revealed the instances where she pushed to change an emotional scene that saw her character crying to one that invoked anger.
“I’ve developed a bit of a reputation for fighting for feminine rage, which is a strange thing, because I’m not promoting violence — but I am promoting women being seen as people,” Taylor-Joy explained. “We have reactions that are not always dainty or unmessy.”
The first time the actress advocated for “female rage” was for her feature acting debut in Robert Eggers’ The Witch. Her character Thomasin is initially meant to cry when she is dragged from the family’s farmyard and accused of being the evil presence inside the house. However, Taylor-Joy said she couldn’t...

One of the most promising Hollywood directors to-date, Robert Eggers is also an undeniable expert in modern horror, and good horror at that. Having started his directorial career back in 2015 with a folk horror movie The Witch, starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Eggers now has a short, yet very impressive portfolio of four high-rated horror flicks with the most recent of them hitting the cinemas later this year.
Though Eggers isn’t that prolific as many fans of his would want him to be, he’s definitely the one to go with a slower pace, leaving more space for each film to be polished, and seems like he has a right source to turn to when there’s need for inspiration.
In one of his previous interviews, Eggers stated that Stanley Cubrick’s The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson, eventually got to be his biggest source of inspiration when he turned to the director’s chair.

Digital media is convenient, storage efficient, and easy to access. However, there’s nothing quite like the real thing. As a collector of physical media (much to the distress of my shelving units), I love slipping a new Blu-ray, vinyl, video game, graphic novel, or book onto the shelf. That satisfying sound when you hear the media slide into place. It’s a chef’s kiss. Thankfully, A24 knows the value of physical media, so they’re partnering with the publishing house Mack to bring its screenplay collections to stores worldwide.
The union between A24 and Mack is the first of its kind.

The “Mavka” franchise is just getting started.
Ukraine’s Film.UA Group is now developing a live-action film based on the character already spotlighted in “Mavka. The Forest Song,” Variety has found out. Shown in 148 countries, it has grossed over $21 million globally.
According to its team, the live-action version will delve even deeper into Ukrainian folklore, offering a more “intricate” portrayal of the mythological character.
“‘Mavka’ was always planned as a multiplatform, cross-media IP. Animated feature was just the start. We want to keep the old fans happy and to attract new ones,” said producer Anna Eliseeva, admitting the new film will be a different (forest) beast.
“The plot and even the character will differ from the animation. ‘Forest Song’ was based on our mythology and the work of Ukrainian poetess Lesya Ukrainka, but we had to reinvent the character for the family audience. Now, we will be able to...

This article contains no spoilers for House Of The Dragon season 2. But it does broadly allude to events from the source material Fire & Blood.
House of the Dragon season 2 is merely one month away from its June 16 premiere on HBO. As such, many fresh tidbits are beginning to trickle out about the next batch episodes for the Game of Thrones prequel.
The latest, and most substantial download of information arrived yesterday in the form of a massive, revealing new trailer and an equally massive, revealing feature from Entertainment Weekly. While we’ve already delved into the former, there’s a detail hidden in the later that deserves further exploration.
Amid EW‘s sprawling, well-written report focusing on House of the Dragon stars Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), there’s a passage from series writer Sara Hess that invokes an unlikely source of inspiration for season 2: The Shining.

There’s a new villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ralph Ineson has been cast in the role of Galactus in the rebooted Fantastic Four film. The actor is the newest addition to the already star-studded lineup featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The Marvel fans could not get any more excited at the news because he is one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel comic book universe.

The making of "Mad Max: Fury Road" is the stuff of legend, as chronicled in Kyle Buchanan's wildly entertaining book, "Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road." That being the case, it's only to be expected that the cast and crew of the new prequel film, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," would have some tall tales of their own to regale about what went into the making of director George Miller's return to the Wasteland. Doubly so for star Anya Taylor-Joy, who follows in Charlize Theron's footsteps by bringing the titular battle-hardened, shaved-headed, metal-armed, stoic post-apocalyptic warrior to life as a young woman in the movie.
Contrary to the nature of the "Mad Max" universe, Miller himself is renowned for running safe sets and has never been accused of abusing his actors or otherwise mistreating the members of his crews. The...

Anya Taylor-Joy is now one of the most promising actresses of the industry, proving her talent by the performances in the Netflix miniseries The Queen's Gambit (2020), the black comedy The Menu (2022) and the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
However, back in 2015, she debuted in a lesser known horror flick, which can be considered one of the best genre’s movies of the 2010s. Reddit still recalls how perfectly she fitted its suspenseful atmosphere, and how it kept them on the edge of their seats.
Set in New England of the 1630s, it focuses on a Puritan family encountering forces of evil reaching their farm. The first tragedy happening to them is the mysterious disappearance of the youngest son Samuel, who was stolen and killed by a witch.
The boy was watched by the oldest daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), and she gets blamed by the whole family for the tragedy,...

I don’t know if Marvel thinks they are being cute or creative, but the constant announcements about the “name changes” to the upcoming Agatha Harkness Marvel show on Disney+ are getting old. Frankly, it’s been so long that I don’t know if people even care that much anymore.
**Edit** Well it’s called “Agatha All Along” nowaccording to Disney’s upfront today. My husband joked that would be the title for a while now.
In 2021, Marvel revealed that the show would be called “Agatha: House of Harkness.” Then, in 2022, the name was changed to “Agatha: Coven of Chaos,” and a few months later, it was announced to be “Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.” Today, Marvel announced yet another title, “Agatha: The Lying Witch With Great Wardrobe.” Then, they deleted it.
Most fans think the show will just be called “Agatha” and these are the episode titles, which sounds very probable.

It’s official. Galactus is coming to the MCU.
After months of speculation, Marvel officially announced that they’ve found their Galactus. Ralph Ineson, a Game of Thrones veteran known for standout supporting roles in The Witch and The Green Knight, will portray the Devourer of Worlds. Ineson’s casting comes on the heels of other compelling announcements for its upcoming film The Fantastic Four, including Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich. Marvel hasn’t yet disclosed which characters those two are playing, but the smart money has Hauser down for the Mole Man. Malkovich could fit a number of characters, including minor baddies Puppet Master or Diablo, including just a grouchy official. Heck, maybe he’ll finally get to play a version of the Vulture, as he was slated to do in Sam Raimi’s abandoned Spider-Man 4!
While any of those baddies would be fun, the Galactus casting deserves the most attention.

"The Witch" and "The Green Knight" star Ralph Ineson is known for playing imposing, sometimes otherworldly figures (also: a love-to-hate-him character in the UK version of "The Office"), so it's only natural that he'll be playing a supervillain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. News broke yesterday that Ineson has been cast as Galactus, the planet-eating god figure whom Jack Kirby and Stan Lee first introduced during a Fantastic Four run in the '60s. Galactus appeared in "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" in 2007, but this time around, the character will return to a much more interconnected Marvel world beginning with Phase Six kickoff "The Fantastic Four."
Ineson may have just nabbed a major role in the long-running superhero franchise, but this actually isn't the first time he's appeared in an MCU film. A full decade ago, Ineson popped up briefly in "Guardians of the Galaxy," playing a Ravager pilot.

We finally have a face (and voice) for one of the biggest bad guys in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, as THR reports that Ralph Ineson will play Galactus the Devourer of Worlds in The Fantastic Four.
There had been rumblings that Javier Bardem was being eyed for the role of Galactus, but I’ve got to say that I’m more excited about Ralph Ineson tackling the role, particularly with his wonderful voice. The actor is always a highlight in everything I’ve seen him in, with fantastic roles in The Witch, The Green Knight, The Northman, and the recent First Omen movie. Eagle-eyed fans will know that Ineson has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before, playing a Ravager pilot in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Kang who? The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been searching for its next Thanos-level big bad for quite some time now and, while Plan A had to be thrown out the window following actor Jonathan Majors' allegations, Plan B appears to be rounding into form quite nicely. With Kevin Feige appearing to put all his eggs in the "Fantastic Four" basket, officially assembling a core cast made up of Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn as Marvel's First Family, it was only a matter of time before word leaked out regarding which name-brand actor would step up to take on the physically imposing role of Galactus himself, the Devourer of Worlds.
That time has finally come, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. We now know that Ralph Ineson has answered the call to suit up as the Fantastic Four's biggest and baddest foe in the MCU reboot of the classic property.

Director George Miller picked Taylor-Joy after an audition where she nailed her performance of a portion of the 1976 film Network.

In recent years, a new wave of horror has emerged – intelligent, artistic, non-standard films that stand in contrast to the horror films of the past. The Witch, The Lighthouse, Midsommar, Hereditary, The Babadook and their lesser-known counterparts formed a new movement in the genre called elevated horror and took it to a new level.
One of the main gems of this trend is the film by Zach Cregger, which was named the best horror of 2022 and received an impressive 93% for a project in this genre on Rotten Tomatoes – Barbarian.
What is Barbarian About?
Tess arrives at night in a dark suburb of Detroit to spend the night in a house she booked through Airbnb. And faces problems right away: the code does not match the lock of the cell with the key, the cell itself is empty, the house manager does not get in touch, but suddenly a man comes out of the door.
