Dexter: Original Sin has cast four new series regulars to join previously announced Patrick Gibson, who is taking over the titular serial killer role (in his younger years) made famous by Michael C. Hall in Showtime’s Dexter.
As production kicks off today in Miami with Clyde Phillips at the helm, James Martinez, Christina Milian (Falling Inn Love) and Alex Shimizu (The Blacklist) have joined the series portraying younger versions of Og characters.
Martinez plays Angel Batista (originally portrayed by David Zayas), an up-and-coming homicide detective who leads with his heart; Milian plays Maria Laguerta (Luna Lauren Velez), Miami Metro’s first female homicide detective; and Shimizu plays Vince Masuka (C.S. Lee), a forensic analyst who eagerly shares his expertise while relishing the chance to boss around his new intern, Dexter Morgan.

Chris Hemsworth is a busy man. Since temporarily hanging up his cape and hammer following Taika Waititi's Thor: Love And Thunder, the Aussie action hero has returned as Tyler Rake in explosive Netflix sequel Extraction 2, strutted his Dementus stuff in George Miller's epic Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and found time to lend his voice to a certain Optimus Prime in Josh Cooley's upcoming robots-in-disguise origin story Transformers One. And clearly the Autobot experience has been an, er, transformative one (sorry!) for Hemsworth. As reported by Deadline, the actor is currently in talks to lead Paramount's as-yet-untitled Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover movie.

Hollywood is perhaps the cradle of most controversies today. Despite the push for “inclusivity” on the internet and the film industry, there are some issues that might not sit well with everyone. And we have seen these clashes more often quite recently, as filmmakers and showrunners try to bend fantasies to their view.

Renowned director/actor Taika Waititi is counted among those creators who often go off the original script to add their own flair. And it seems he’s doing the same with his upcoming project, a remake of ‘Time Bandits‘, but in an unexpected way.
Waititi is not usually the kind to shy away from controversies. Will his latest move ruffle a few more feathers?

It would be a radical understatement to say that getting cast in the role of Willie Jack on the hit FX comedy “Reservation Dogs” changed the life of Paulina Alexis, the woman who played her for all three of the show’s seasons. Overnight, she went from being just another struggling 20-year-old actor to a sensation, particularly in the Indigenous community. “I got mobbed the night the first episode premiered (in 2021),” she recalls. “When it comes to going to Native events back home, I couldn’t go to a powwow or go walk around and stand in line for a bannock burger or go to Wal-Mart in my sweats anymore. People knew me immediately. I mean, I knew the show was going to blow up, but I wasn’t prepared for (everything). It was huge, especially in Native country.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Rita Ora has released a fiery new single, “Ask and You Shall Receive.” Raye co-wrote the song, which is accompanied by a music video directed by Dano Cerny.
“The song is full of upbeat, summery vibes and is about seizing the moment romantically, and diving straight in with that special someone,” Ora said in a statement. “It was co-written by the amazing Raye, which feels like such a full circle moment, as I have so many amazing memories from when we were on the road together for the Phoenix tour.

When thinking back on all the costumes that she’s helped design for “What We Do in the Shadows,” Laura Montgomery has a pretty easy time pinpointing who she had the most fun designing costumes for. “I can’t lie. Nadja is my favorite. I mean, I love them all but she’s the only woman in the lead cast and we don’t get a ton of female day players either. So getting to play with beautiful fabrics and the cuts, it’s really that kind of 1890s period meets with 1980s that’s a really fun period to design,” she tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above).
When thinking of a particular outfit of Nadja’s that she had fun designing, she thinks of a tartan traveling dress from the fourth season. She reveals, “It was this beautiful off-the-shoulder black brocade and...

Could you turn down the exciting idea of George Miller, known for his mythological prowess, breathing new life into Chris Hemsworth’s Thor franchise? After the rollercoaster of feelings that Thor 4 elicited, the audience’s appetite for richness and depth in storytelling stands at an all-time high. Could the celebrated director of the highly acclaimed Mad Max series, with his legendary grasp of epic narratives, be the key to asundering the line of cold responses and rekindling the thunderous glory of Asgard? Maybe…
Miller’s approach resonates well beyond the box office; his canceled Justice League project, still a lament among superhero aficionados, serves as proof of the vision that could have reinvented DC’s pantheon.

The best days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are behind it, and I don't just mean the fall from its decade-long box office throne. Any media that reaches pop culture omnipresence like Marvel movies did inspires a counterwave of backlash -- it's just the way the discourse flows. And with the MCU, there's a lot to critique.
There's shoddy filmmaking, the centering of Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige as the creative glue, the cheap self-deprecating humor that's spread its roots across Hollywood (e.g. Netflix's live-action "Cowboy Bebop"), and the aimless, complicated-yet-simplistic narrative that exists in service of nothing but its further propagation. That last issue is inherited from Marvel Comics, yet if you dive into current Marvel comics, you'll find one all-too-aware series that is weaving MCU critique into its (meta)text. That series is Al Ewing's "Immortal Thor".

We've heard conflicting reports about Marvel Studios' plans for a fifth solo Thor movie (not exactly surprising after the reception to Love and Thunder), but this latest rumor claims that the movie is indeed officially in development, and is scheduled to film as soon as next year.
According to Daniel Richtman, Thor 5 is "listed as happening on the grid to film Fall 2025." He adds that he's "not sure if it means it will be a post-Secret Wars project, my bet would be yes." Marvel is said to be searching for a writer and director for the project.
Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi took himself out of the running to helm the movie late last year. An earlier rumor claimed that Gareth Edwards was being eyed to take over.

George Lucas changed Hollywood when he created and directed Star Wars in 1977. The filmmaker told the story of a galaxy far, far away and minted millions due to its imaginative storyline and groundbreaking special effects. He established Lucasfilm and Industry Light and Magic and created more films in the franchise.
After producing two sequels and directing the prequel trilogy, George Lucas sold the franchise to Disney and retired from Star Wars. The franchise has since spawned a sequel trilogy, spinoff films, and multiple TV shows. Lucas recently spoke at Cannes about the state of the franchise and how the new projects that have been lined up.

We're nearing the halfway point of 2024, and Apple is still doing its best to mimic Pinky and the Brain with world domination in mind, at least on the streaming front.
Credit where credit is due. Apple is nothing if not on-brand when it comes to quality over quantity.
There's little doubt that some programs popping up on Apple TV + over the years have been duds, but quality duds indeed.
What Is Time Bandits About?
Apple has announced its next assault on our streaming lives by turning back the clocks to an oldie but goodie known as Time Bandits.
For the uninitiated, Time Bandits is a 1981 film by Terry Gilliam. It is a dark comedy filled with Gilliam's bizarre filmmaking aesthetic.
Taika Waititi, Iain Morris, and Jemaine Clement lead the way as co-creators and co-showrunners.
With Lisa Kudrow (Friends and The Comeback) on board in a leading role, prepare for some serious buffoonery.

Chris Hemsworth became a household name with the role of Thor the God of Thunder in the MCU. Since 2011, the Aussie powerhouse has been wowing audiences with his charm, talent, and of course, good looks. But his good looks came into question when the actor had to become fat Thor for Avengers: Endgame.

After the failure of the Avengers in trying to save the world from Thanos, while all the Og Avengers took it hard having lost some of their closest loved ones along with half the universe’s population, it was Hemsworth’s Thor who underwent the most drastic change. From the chiseled abs, Thor had a beer belly after depression hit him hard and knocked him onto the couch, with seemingly no way to get up (or out) of it. And that almost gave the actor some serious injury.

Why did fans love Our Flag Means Death? This series was a big upgrade for the on-screen pirates – they no longer sail the seas in search of mystical artifacts as in the cult Pirates of the Caribbean. Our Flag Means Death shows the pirates of a new era – they are absurd, humorous, and surprisingly vulnerable.
Our Flag Means Death was also an ode to escapism. In the hands of screenwriter David Jenkins, the story of an aristocrat-turned-pirate is transformed into a funny and poignant exploration of escapism as a way out of a mental crisis.
However, the devoted love of the fans did not save Our Flag Means Death from cancellation after the second season, and it continued a series of Taika Waititi's axed projects. In early 2023, the series Reservation Dogs was completed, and then the last, sixth season of What We Do in the Shadows was released.

Actor Charlyne Yi has detailed the experience of being physically assaulted by a scene partner on the set of the upcoming Apple TV+ adaptation of Time Bandits, which Yi says led to their coercion into quitting the production and subsequent denial of workers’ compensation for a back injury and post-traumatic stress.
Yi, a main cast member in the upcoming series from writer-producer-director Taika Waititi, wrote on Instagram on Wednesday that a male actor with whom they shared a scene repeatedly pressed his body against their back so hard that they had to “dig [their] feet into the ground to keep my stance during rehearsals and filming.” According to Yi, this physical abuse continued after they attempted to “shove him off” and repeated during their time on set, with the abuser deploying “covert” tactics to control his public image while their complaints of extreme back pain to colleagues, producers and Hr were met with gaslighting tactics.

In the world of comic book movies, there has never been a stranger relationship than the one between Jon Watts and Spider-Man. One of the most critically as well as commercially favored and strongest IPs of Marvel Comics, Spider-Man’s entry into the MCU was placed in the hands of a creator with the strangest IMDb credits under his directorial section.
Known for directing music videos, shorts, a claymation movie, and television series, Watts couldn’t have been placed at a more substantial position and with a more high-risk, high-reward IP than directing Spider-Man’s first debut under the Marvel banner after the controversial 12-year-long saga at Sony.

The first official poster for upcoming horror comedy, Nightbitch, has been released to mark Mother's Day. The surreal-sounding horror comedy stars Amy Adams (Man of Steel) as a woman who starts to believe she's undergoing a hair-raising transformation.
The six-time Academy Award nominee will play a woman who begins to transform into a dog (or thinks she does... it's not really clear). Searchlight Pictures acquired the project, which is described as a "darkly comic horror" adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed debut novel of the same name.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? director Marielle Heller will take the helm.
“She’s incredible, I mean, we all know Amy Adams is incredible," Heller said of Adams' performance in a recent interview with IndieWire. "She’s been nominated for a million Academy Awards. She’s amazing, but she really is special in this movie and I’m just so excited for the world to see her.

Ncuti Gatwa is earning rave reviews for his turn as the 15th iteration of the shapeshifting “Doctor Who.” While enough episodes won’t air on Disney+ in time to make him eligible at this year’s Emmys, he could well contend for his featured role in Apple TV+’s acclaimed limited series “Masters of the Air.” He portrays real-life World War II Air Force officer Robert Daniels and is being submitted in Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor.
That could put him in competition against Christopher Eccleston, who played the ninth Doctor (the first 21st century version of the character) in 2005. Having won an International Emmy for the British anthology series “Accused” (2011), Eccleston is now seeking a primetime bid for his work as Alaska police captain Ted Connelly on HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country.”

There are over 30 projects rumored to be in development and scheduled to be released sometime in the next two years, and ‘Thor 5’ is one of them, at least according to the rumors that are getting louder and louder. Recently, Taika Waititi commented on the possibility of him helming the fifth God of Thunder movie in the MCU, and he shrugged it off, saying that it’s really not on his schedule at the moment.
This is ultimately a good thing if you are familiar with ‘Love and Thunder’ which is often lauded to be the worst Thor movie by a long shot, something that even Hemsworth commented on recently. Now ‘Thor 5’ is still without a director and one surprising name has stated that he would like to direct it, primarily due to his experience working with Chris Hemsworth.

This could be seen as a positive development, especially if you consider the criticism ‘Love and Thunder’ has received, with some calling it the worst Thor film yet, a sentiment even echoed by Hemsworth himself recently. With ‘Thor 5’ still lacking a director, one unexpected name has thrown their hat into the ring, expressing interest primarily because of their experience collaborating with Chris Hemsworth.

After helming two Thor films in a row, director Taika Waititi has indicated that he's likely done with the franchise, opening the door for another director to step in, if Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige want to make another standalone Thor film.
As such, George Miller was recently asked whether he would consider reuniting with Chris Hemsworth on Thor 5, after directing the Australian actor in the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
Somewhat surprisingly, Miller stated that he'd consider it.
"I would work with Chris on anything. I really would. He's a wonderful actor. He's got the full range of all the skills," said Miller. "I mean, you've got to be athletic, physically."
"But, you also gotta be athletic emotionally and intellectually to take on these very,...

"Alien" star Sigourney Weaver is headed back to space, but this time, instead of fighting off aliens, she could be befriending them. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Weaver is in talks to take on a role in "The Mandalorian & Grogu," the upcoming "Star Wars" film that will be directed by Jon Favreau.
While "Star Wars" has been pretty prolific on the small screen in recent years, the saga created by George Lucas hasn't actually released a new feature film since 2019's "The Rise of Skywalker." "The Mandalorian & Grogu" was officially announced in January of this year, after years of media focus spent on other potential Lucasfilm works-in-progress, including projects from Taika Waititi and Patty Jenkins. Most of those projects seem to still be in the works according to recent reports, but "The Mandalorian & Grogu" is set to head into production first with a summer shoot scheduled,...

In a galaxy far, far away, no one can hear you scream…Sigourney Weaver — who is certainly no stranger to sci-fi — is reportedly in talks to join the cast of The Mandalorian & Grogu, set to be the first new Star Wars film in seven years by the time it arrives in 2026.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Sigourney Weaver is possibly near a deal to become part of the Star Wars Saga with The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is huge and exciting news for fans of both. And considering her history in the sci-fi and fantasy genre – Alien franchise, Ghostbusters, Galaxy Quest, Avatar, etc. – she would absolutely be a natural addition.
The next few years will be crucial for Star Wars, with a new set of movies that will further build on the franchise and the series that the studio has invested in. As far as The Mandalorian & Grogu goes,...
