After knocking it out of the park with 2017’sIt, filmmaker Muschietti re-teamed with screenwriterGary Daubermanto turn the next page on this King adaptation. The film had a tough act to follow thanks to the incredibly popular 1990 ABC miniseries of the same name, that saw the ever-charmingTim Curry as the killer clown. Unlike someother King-centered screen productions, it’s safe to say that Muschietti’s work held up to the project that came before it....

As far as April Fool’s Day jokes are concerned,Bruce Campbellmight have won 2021 by “leaking” a page from the script forDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite the script page featuring a watermark that states “Confidential” and “Do Not Reproduce,” somehow, the page has leaked onto Campbell’s Twitter page. The single page has Doctor Strange appearing in a mist-covered woods, where he finds a cabin with a porch swing. Strange hears the sound of a chainsaw, then sees a character called “Disheveled Man,” who has a chainsaw where his right hand should be, as he leaves the cabin....

WhileDoctor Strangehas its share of critics, Marvel certainly amped up the visual effects for its Sorcerer Supreme.Benedict Cumberbatchstars as Stephen Strange, a renowned neurosurgeon who learns the mystic arts to battle sorcerers and inter-dimensional threats. As such, it called for some high-quality movie magic. In Collider’s exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette forDoctor Strange,Stephane Cerutti(visual effects supervisor),Evan Jacobs(stereoscopic supervisor), andVictoria Alonso(executive producer) discuss incorporating the IMAX and 3D experiencing to bring audiences on this journey through the multiverse....

Having now reached the end ofThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it’s easier to appreciate the immensity of what the production led by directorKari Skoglandwas able to complete. The six-episode series took MCU fans all around the world, from the Louisiana coast to European cities tofictional hives of scum and villainy, for a character-focused story about Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) working with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) to take on issues beyond simply stopping intergalactic threats....

We’re a year away from the final season ofGame of Thrones, the TV juggernaut whose heights we won’t probably see again for a long time (unless Amazon’s $1 billionLord of the Ringsgamble pays off likeJeff Bezosis hoping), and the series' eighth and final season is already setting new records. According to an Instagram post byGame of ThronesADJonathan Quinlan, the series just completed an astonishing 55-night shoot for a massive battle sequence....

Well you didn’t thinkGame of Thrones, HBO’s biggest hit and one of the most pervasive cultural juggernauts of the decade would just go out quietly into the night, did you? With its ending now set, HBO is looking for how to continue to capitalize on the show’s popularity with a handful of new series under consideration. AMC has tried its hand at this twice with its incredibly popular series: once withBetter Call Saul(a spinoff/prequel toBreaking Bad) and once withFear the Walking Dead, whose title explains it all....

If all had gone according to plan,Guardians of the Galaxy 3would be filming right now. Production on the third and final film in writer/directorJames Gunn’s trilogy was due to get underway in early 2019, beforeChris Pratthas to go off and shootJurassic World 3, but the entire film was put on hold when Disney decided to fire Gunn off the film after poor-taste (and, frankly, bad) jokes of his resurfaced on Twitter....

Y’know what we could all use during these troubled times? Some light, easy, feel-good entertainment. What’s that? Per Deadline, HBO is developing aHellraiserTV series based onClive Barker’s notorious, graphically violent, gothically vulgar horror property? Hmm. Well. I guess that works, too. Best known from Barker’s 1987 horror classic, based on his own 1986 novellaThe Hellbound Heart,Hellraiserhas since spawned a multiple feature-film franchise, and embedded Pinhead, the leading monstrous Cenobite who’s got, well, pins in his head into our cultural consciousness alongside luminaries like Jason and Michael Myers....

By now, listening to people’s complains and laughs over Anakin’s speech on sand and theStar Warsprequel trilogy have basically become as big a part of the experience as the lightsabre fights. Sure, there is plenty wrong with the movies, but there’s also plenty right, like a darker story allowed for a tragic tale of hubris and corruption that challenged our views of the Jedi we considered to be heroes. The movies also have us Padmé Amidala, a character who began as a badass queen inThe Phantom Menace, but was sadly side-lined for the rest of the trilogy until she stupidly died of a literal heartbreak....
