But when Harold begins to hear the voice of a mysterious narrator (Emma Thompson) in his head, he soon discovers that he is in a story (whether a comedy or a tragedy, he does not know) and he is about to die....

Rihannafans know it best: The international superstar’s comeback has been highly anticipated, since the singer hasn’t worked on a new album for over six years. And even though a new album hasn’t been officially announced, at least in 2022 we got to hear her sing inBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever’s end-credits song “Lift Me Up.” And we have filmmakerRyan Cooglerto thank for that. In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, the director revealed that, for a while, whenever he contacted Rihanna’s team he got the answer that fans got more than used to hearing: “She’s not really doing music, but let’s stay in touch....

Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) and Rick (Walton Goggins) were one of the most compelling parts ofHBO’sThe White LotusSeason 3, thanks to the incredible chemistry between the actors. Their deaths in the season finale were tragic, but didn’t hit as hard as they could’ve because something about their arc felt rushed. The finale never quite went as far as it could’ve in showing how, just before it was tragically cut short, their relationship had blossomed into its most mature form....

When the film first came out in February, 2005, the reviews were mixed. At the time, Reeves had only finishedThe Matrixtrilogy two years earlier, the MCU hadn’t yet launched,Christopher Nolan’sBatman Beginswas months from being released, and the comic book movie genre wasn’t something Hollywood took very seriously. It was a different era of moviemaking....

Ahead of the film’s upcoming Blu-ray release, we at Collider are happy to exclusively debut theJumanji: Welcome to the Junglegag reel for the Sony Pictures film. It’s not a bad little glimpse at the flubs behind the scenes at the surprise box office smash, which grossed $941,552,204 at the global box office. There’s something oddly reassuring about watching someone as cool asDwayne Johnsonkeep messing up the line “Non Playable Character.” I look forward to the other gags on the disc, especially the ones fromJack Black, who’s great at improvising/breaking-out-into-song....

In this job, I occasionally get to talk to some big-name Hollywood talent, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera, but I rarely get to talk to royalty. So imagine my surprise when I was offered a chance to interview Princess Zelda herself, as voiced by the lovely and talentedPatricia Summersettin the Nintendo Switch debut game,The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Not only did Summersett give voice to the titular princess during the all-important cutscenes (a first for this franchise), she played a huge role in the game’s story and, as a result, every player’s experience....

It may only be a month on from its release, but the first episode ofBlack MirrorSeason 6, titled “Joan Is Awful,” is already starting to hit terrifyingly close to home. The episode addresses the use of Artificial Intelligence in the entertainment industry, something which has since become a burgeoning point of contention between real-life creatives and major studios.
