Sundance Sales in Full Swing Thanks to Lonely Island Movie Palm Springs

The ugly truth about most film reporters is that when a press release comes in, they write it up quickly without questioning it. And so it goes with Neon and Hulu’s joint acquisition of theAndy SambergmoviePalm Springs, which according to an official announcement, sold for $17,500,000.69—making it a Sundance record. Indeed, that’s 69 cents (haha!) more thanNate Parker’s slavery dramaBirth of a Nation. Break out the champagne! Here’s the thing: I don’t think it did set a festival record, because this deal includes streaming rights....

Synchronic Review: A Sharp and Clever Twist on Time Travel

One of the key components about most time travel stories is about the element of control leading to a loss of control. We take one of the few, immutable elements of life—time’s unceasing flow—and then bend it to go somewhere else, and then that usually leads to unintended consequences.Justin BensonandAaron Moorhead’s new movieSynchroniccleverly turns this premise on its head by telling a time travel story where the lack of control is built into the premise and the larger themes of the story....

The Handmaid's Tale Renewed for Season 3 by Hulu

Less than a week after premiering the first episode of its second season, Hulu has renewedThe Handmaid’s Talefor a third. It’s not surprising news – the adaptation ofMargaret Atwood’s seminal novel has been the streaming network’s biggest hit to date, garnering not only critical acclaim but capturing the cultural zeitgeist. It’s become Hulu’s banner series, so renewing it (even so early into Season 2) is not much of a risk – especially since the new season premiere brought in double the viewers of Season 1’s opener....

The Legend of Tarzan IMAX Poster Is Flanked by Apes

Today, we’re pleased to debut an exclusive IMAX poster forThe Legend of Tarzan. In the upcoming film, Tarzan (AlexanderSkarsgård) returns to the jungle with his wife Jane (Margot Robbie), but learns he’s being played by the deadly Captain Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz). Things do not go well for Captain Rom once Tarzan learns he’s been betrayed. I’m hoping thatLegend of Tarzanis a bit of old-fashioned, rollicking fun. The character can be put to good use, and this is an interesting spin that takes matters away from an origin story and into a new mold where Tarzan is wrestling with his old ways versus his new, gentrified lifestyle as John Clayton III....
