One thing is clear about thenewHellboyrebootfrom directorNeil Marshall: its starDavid Harbourreally fucking loves playing Hellboy. It’s been a long day for the actor, who typically suits up as “Big Red” in the make-up chair first thing in the morning, a process that takes under two hours, and that’s where he remains for most of the day, under heavy prosthetics. Late one Monday, back in November 2017, filming had wrapped for the day, the last few stragglers were closing down the Bulgarian fort for the night, and Harbour went back in the make-up chair for the de-rig routine....

WithPacific Rim Uprisingnow playing in theaters, a few days ago I sat down with directorSteven S. DeKnightto talk about the sequel. Unlike most press junkets that take place an at area hotel, Universal and Legendary went all out forPacific Rim Uprisingand built some amazing set ups using props from the movie for the interviews. It was like stepping inside a location from the film. While it’s expensive and time consuming, I wish more studios did stuff like this for their films....

As hard as they are to keep up with, web series have slowly become the perfect incubators for big ideas.Broad Citybegan as a series of digital shorts by UCB vetsAbbi JacobsonandIlana Glazerthat eventually caught the eye of the greatAmy Poehler. Just this year,Louis C.K.took to the web to releaseHorace & Pete, one of the great dramatic works of the year, focused on the titular bar owners and operators , played by C....

With the new STARZ Original seriesHightownpremiering this Sunday night at 8pm ET, I recently spoke to producerJerry Bruckheimerabout the eight-episode first season. The series takes place in Provincetown, Massachusetts and follows a hard-partying National Marine Fisheries Service agent (Jackie Quiñones) who is attempting to get sober while trying to solve a murder. I caught the first two episodes before doing the interview and was absolutely pulled in by the performances and storytelling and will definitely continue watching the series....

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.’ Spider-Manfilm fans rejoice, becauseSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versemakes more than a few connections to the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse. Multiverse storylines are pretty popular in the film industry right now, andSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseis partly responsible for that. The animated feature debut of the Friendly Neighbor Spider-Man united multiple variants of the beloved character on the big screen for the very first time, and to say Sony’s experiment was a success would be a colossal understatement....

Madame Web. What can we possibly say that hasn’t already been said? Sony’s latest poorly conceived attempt at aSpider-Manspin-off (if you can even call it that)has become the internet’s latest punching bag in the ongoing dissent and criticism of modern superhero films. It’s arguably getting even more heat than Sony’s other ill-fated spin-off,Morbius, did when it first released, getting review aggregate scores that are just slightly below that of theJared Leto-starring vampire flick....

Spoilersahead forMythic Quest: Quarantine(as well as Season 1 of the series). These are tough times, and great TV is helping a lot of people cope with them. So, even in quarantine, some shows are finding ways to get to work, at least one episode at a time, and one of them is the deceptively charmingMythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet. Today, the Apple TV+ comedy has releaseda new special episode, entitled “Quarantine,“to capture what life is like right now, as we all shelter in place from the invisible yet deadly threat outside....

If you were bumming around on Twitch over the holiday weekend (and just before it), you might have noticed a new battle-royale game by the name ofHyper Scape. Our ownDorian Parkschecked it out over atCollider’s Twitch page earlier this week. What is it exactly? Well, I’m glad you asked: Welcome to Hyper Scape, an all-new free-to-play urban battle royale set in the sprawling virtual city of Neo Arcadia. Do you have what it takes to be a champion of the Hyper Scape?...

AsMad Max: Fury Roadturns ten,its legacy is untouchable. The film’s magic is in how perfectly its production design—on every level—supports a stellar cast, most of all its central pair, Max (Tom Hardy) and Furiosa (Charlize Theron). I count myself lucky to have been alive for the theatrical run and to have seen it multiple times in theaters. I’m blessed to know that if a sandstorm looks cool enough, feels high-stakes enough, and is projected onto an enormous screen, it can make me cry at how beautiful and awful it is....

WhenSupergirldebuted on CBS, the closest thing we got to seeing Superman in the flesh was a strong-jawed silhouette, plus a few anecdotes from Kara Danvers and James Olsen, and the occasional text. Now that the show is on The CW, Superman has stepped into the spotlight thanks toTyler Hoechlin’s performance.(Some are calling him the best Superman sinceChristopher Reeve.) In the previous episode, “The Last Children of Krypton”, Clark Kent/Superman ended up leaving National City for Metropolis, his home city, after a battle against Metallo(s)....

The draw for an aspiring singer to pickAmerican IdoloverThe Voiceis the freedom of song selection. Aside from the Judges’ Song Contest night, which is a staple on the show, theIdolhopefuls have the freedom to pick what they want. But for the Season 23 finale,American Idoltoyed with that freedom by handing song-picking power toJelly Roll, its inconsistently used artist-in-residence, who chose one of the two songs each finalist would perform. Though it was framed as Jelly Roll picking his “favorite” songs, the whole setup reeked of behind-the-scenes shenanigans....
