As the film industry came to a screeching halt in 2020, writer-directorsZoe Lister-JonesandDaryl Weinstill had the itch to create. Not only did lockdown living spark urgency to tackle the idea of inner child work through film, but also an eagerness to find creative solutions to tell a story in the middle of the pandemic. The end result? Their new Sundance Film Festival official selection,How It Ends. Lister-Jones also stars in the movie as Liza, a woman who opts to spend mankind’s very last day on Earth making her way to an end of the world party....

When I was ten, seemingly every day on TBS or TNT, I would flip on the channel and there would beKurt RussellandGoldie Hawnbickering at each other lovingly inOverboard. It’s such a pleasant, genial film – a hallmark ofGarry Marshall’sbest work fromOverboardtoThe Flamingo KidtoPretty Woman. There’s never an inkling of cynicism present. They’re fairy tales – set not in far off castles or fantastic realms but here in the modern world....

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MinddirectorMichel Gondryand starJim Carreyare reuniting for a new project, but not a movie! Instead, it’s forKidding, which just received a straight-to-series order from Showtime. The half-hour comedy will run for 10 episodes, and comes from writer and creatorDave Holstein, who also worked with Carrey on Showtime’sI’m Dying Up Here.Kiddingwill be Carrey’s first TV role in more than two decades, which continues a trend of movie actors wanting to enter the more freeing arena of TV (where they also often have more creative control)....

Sundance is an amazing place to world premiere a movie. Not only because it’s an incredible festival filled with people that genuinely love film, but also you’re able to show offbeat and touching stories about people without having to show an explosion every five minutes. The fact is, Hollywood has moved away from smaller, more personal stories and it’s left to the indie world to pick up the slack, like writer-directorMatt Ross’ family dramaCaptain Fantastic, which premiered at Sundance and was also shown at Cannes....

Odds are you’ve heard the namesBradley CooperandLady Gagabefore. Cooper’s scored three Academy Award nominations and Lady Gaga has a list of accolades so long, it’s got its very own Wikipedia page, separate from her own. As though their star power can’t rise even higher, it’s about to happen with the release of their new movie,A Star Is Born. The film marks major firsts for both Cooper and Gaga. This is Cooper’s first film serving as director and it’s Gaga’s very first starring role in a feature film, and I’m betting that both of those new endeavors will wind up adding even more notches to their awards belts, because after catching the movie at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, I’ll be rooting for both of them this awards season - for Gaga scoring a nomination for her performance, for Cooper in the Best Actor and Best Director categories, and for both of them for their contributions to the film’s soundtrack....

As such, Dern and Neill are officially responsible for getting me 110% hyped up for the thirdJurassic Worldmovie, which I previously did not think was possible....

It appears as though Marvel Studios’ plans for the streaming service Disney+ might expand beyond limited series runs. While Marvel announced an ambitious slate oforiginal Disney+ showsthat would tie directly into what was happening on the big screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was believed that most of these shows would be one-season limited series. That’s how they were first described, so as exciting asWandaVisionandThe Falcon and the Winter Soldiersounded, it was assumed that they’d really just be 8-episode longform stories with a beginning, middle, and end....

Superhero stories are incredibly important to studios these days, and Netflix just lost a source of theirs when Disney announced it would be ending its deal with the streaming service to create its own streaming platform. While it’s possible Netflix might be able to strike a new deal to hold onto just the Marvel stuff,it’s already got a backup plan by purchasing Millarworld, the first ever company-wide acquisition for the streaming giant....
