Currently, the dominant VOD titles are Sony’s standard-price ”Monster Hunter” and PVOD “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.” However, the other #1 is Nicholas Jarecki’s “Crisis” (Quiver) in its second week. The tripych of opiate-crisis stories starring Gary Oldman and Armie Hammer showed initial response last week and is now tops at Apple TV (which often foretells success later at other sites). For some reason (possibly a listed price of $9....

The 78th Golden Globe Awards will kick off on Sunday, February 28 at 8 p.m. ET. Like all other recent awards shows, the latest installment of the Golden Globes will be held virtually for health and safety reasons. That said, the event will be as star-studded as always. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will co-host the event from New York City and Los Angeles, respectively. The event will be broadcast on NBC, but cord cutters have several options to view the program....

“I don’t think anyone gave ‘Scream’ a lot of credence,” Lillard said of making the 1996 original. “I mean, I don’t think anyone gave us a chance because we were coming in with a director that wasn’t necessarily young and hot. And we were coming with two television actors. And I think that we had a version of [Craven] that was humbled and happy to be there. I think that the cast, we all had an experience within that....

The DC Multiverse is buzzing with talk of a rumored new project that will reportedly chronicle the story of Val-Zod, a Kryptonian from Earth 2. Michael B. Jordan is said to be developing a limited series centered around Val-Zod for HBO Max. There’s no official confirmation yet, but Jordan is no stranger to superhero movies, having appeared in “Black Panther” and “Fantastic Four.” Val-Zod is a relatively new character to the Multiverse....

Halfway through the Cannes Film Festival, the streets erupted with activity. Drunken revelers crammed the bars just outside the Palais des Festival. Some took to mopeds, honking in unison and waving three-color flags as they belted out a triumphant cry: “Italia!” That wasn’t a movie, of course. The European soccer championship provided yet another reminder of how little space the movies occupy in the broader cultural conversation, even at the world’s most prominent film festival....

Methinks he doth protest too much. At the moment, the 82-year-old Hopkins is on a roll. Last year he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor as Pope Benedict in “The Two Popes,” opposite fellow Welshman Jonathan Pryce as Pope Francis. “I didn’t know Jonathan,” he said. “I was relieved to discover that he had a great sense of fun and humor about it all. He does what I try to do, which is not take it too seriously....

“I wanna give a shout out to my #highfidelity family. Thank you for all the love and heart you put into this show. I’m in awe of all of you. And thank you to everyone who watched, loved and supported us,” she said in the Instagram post (below), to which actress Tessa Thompson responded, “I will miss you alllllllllllll so much.” Kravitz commented back sarcastically, “It’s cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch....

The “Yellowstone” universe has never lacked star power, with Kevin Costner headlining the flagship series and big names like Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill starring in “1883.” But with Ford and Mirren in the lead roles, “1923” is by far the starriest project that Taylor Sheridan has made to date. In addition to Ford and Mirren, the series also stars Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, and Jerome Flynn....

Don’t let this film fool you: It’s not great, but it is a cozy reminder of rom-coms past. “Alone Together,” while set in 2020 amid the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, infuses the genre with the comfort of a matching cashmere bralette and cardigan sweater from the late 2010s, per the trend writer-director-producer-star Katie Holmes made famous then. It’s easy to get lost in the nostalgic parts of “Alone Together,” like the effortlessly picturesque Anthropologie home furnishings and stylish wardrobes of a “woman on the go in the Big Apple....

It’s like an absurd 2D cross between “Archer” and “Clone High,” which isn’t surprising, since it’s directed by “Archer” producer Matt Thompson and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are rebooting “Clone High” for HBO Max, while writing and producing “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2,” which is co-written by “America” scribe Dave Callaham (Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”). “Dave showed us this crazy [live-action] script he had written 10 years ago to just to blow off some steam, never thinking that anything would come of it, and when we read it, we thought it would be a crazy idea to make it,” said Miller during a recent interview with IndieWire....

“American Gigolo,” the Showtime series, states in its flashy opening credits (set to the film’s hit theme song, “Call Me” by Blondie) that it’s “based on characters created by Paul Schrader,” the writer and director of the original film. Who those characters are, I have no idea. The new show stars Jon Bernthal as Julian Kaye, and it’s not just the added “e” on the end of his surname that demarcates this so-called gigolo from Gere’s....

During Wednesday’s TCA panel for the series, Gilroy shared that “Andor: Part 1” will cover one year in the life of the rising rebel Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). “Part 2” will divide up the remaining four years before Andor meets his “Rogue One” rebel squad, with different directors helming three episodes at a time that cover a different year in Andor’s life. He also confirmed that the series finale “will walk you right into ‘Rogue One....

To make his sequel, which is primarily set in the oceans of Pandora, Cameron had to spend years developing new technology that would allow him to film motion capture sequences under water. The high costs of doing that inflated the film’s budget to the point where Cameron expects it will have to be one of the top five highest grossing movies of all time just to break even. But Cameron isn’t concerned about the film’s ability to find an audience....

Christopher Lloyd recently discussed the initial casting of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly in “Back to the Future” before Michael J. Fox was cast in the iconic role. As “Back to the Future” fans may already know, Stoltz filmed for six weeks of production before being let go from the project. “Stoltz is a wonderful actor. I had no idea the change was coming,” Lloyd recalled to GQ. “One night we were shooting the mall beginning sequence, and we were asked to come to one of the trailers at one o’clock in the morning....

The film stars Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney as Frank Tassone and Pam Gluckin, who were accused of stealing hundreds of thousands from the district’s budget. Though their school district is on the up and up the scandal threatens to ruin everything the duo have built, spurring Jackman’s character to do everything in his power to maintain order and stop the story from becoming public....

For many, Cousteau is just the name of a man associated with the oceans, and it’s easy to see the possibility that a splashy outing from a prominent documentarian will do much to bring the man back to prominence. Garbus deftly handles the more educational elements of his life — including the creation of the Aqualung and Cousteau’s discussion of changes in the ocean — with the story of what made him a celebrity....

The series picks up six months after the events of the film and focuses on Ashley (played by Jasmine Cephas-Jones), the girlfriend of Miles (Rafael Casal), who’s trying to establish a quality middle-class life in Oakland, CA. But after her boyfriend is arrested and sent to prison, Ashley and her young son are forced to move in with Miles’ mother, Rainey (Helen Hunt) and his half-sister Trish (Jaylen Barron). The trailer certainly shows off the bombastic world established in “Blindspotting,” with bold colors, wry humor, and existential questions delivered straight to camera....

The new trailer for David Leitch’s “Bullet Train,” in theaters August 5, reveals the boss/employee relationship between Pitt’s assassin character and Sandra Bullock’s unnamed handler, who assigns Pitt a “simple first job back” after giving Pitt a new codename: Ladybug. It’s all an attempt to turn Ladybug’s “biblical” bad luck around after a series of mishaps on the job, including a suicidal bellboy and a bad run-in with a fellow hitman, played by Benito A Martínez Ocasio aka Bad Bunny....

The series, starring Evan Peters as the titular serial killer who preyed on queer men, had the biggest debut ever on Netflix and was originally categorized as LGBTQ content on the streamer. However, the tag was removed two days after its September premiere due to social media backlash. “I also don’t think that all gay stories have to be happy stories,” series creator Murphy told The New York Times. “There was a moment on Netflix where they removed the LGBTQ tag from ‘Dahmer,’ and I didn’t like it and I asked why they did that and they said because people were upset because it was an upsetting story....
