Here’s your friendly reminder that Sony’sThe Dark Toweris due out in theaters on August 4th. That’s just over a month away. In the film, a long-awaited adaptation ofStephen King’s massive multi-media work,Idris Elbaplays Roland Deschain, a.k.a. the Gunslinger, last in a long line of knight-like defenders of justice and order. Opposing him every step of the way isMatthew McConaughey’s Man in Black, a man of mystery tasked with taking down the titular tower and bring about chaos....

Kaitlyn Deveris a personal favorite and I’d be thrilled to see her in absolutely any film, show or stage production she wants. But really, she’s just such a perfect fit for the role of Ellie in theThe Last of Us. There’s been talk of an adaptation of the Naughty Dog game for years now, butjust recentlynews broke that it could be the real deal over at HBO. Last month it was reported thatChernobyl’sCraig Mazinand Naughty Dog’sNeil Druckmannsigned on to make aThe Last Of UsTV series for HBO....

While relatively close toJ.R.R. Tolkien’s original story,Peter Jackson’sThe Lord of the Ringstrilogy makes some noticeable changes, most obviously what’s cut,from characterstoentire storylines. However, plenty of changes were made in the adaptation process, for better or worse. In Tolkien’s book, there are 17 years between Bilbo’s (Ian Holm) 111st birthday and Frodo (Elijah Wood) leaving his home, butThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ringmakes it much faster. Of all the changes to the story, the rushed timeline of Frodo leaving the Shire doesn’t seem so big....

Charles Fleischerisn’t a name that will automatically leap out to many people, even though he’s been a steadily working actor for over 30 years. Buthe will forever be etched in film history as the voice of Roger Rabbit inWho Framed Roger Rabbit, the zany pastiche of every classic cartoon character rolled into one insane package. It’s a more impressive performance than it’s given credit for in its emotional range and potential to be screechingly annoying, but one word that would never be used to describe it is “creepy....

After ten movies, one would think that theStar Warsgalaxy is a pretty big place, right? If you consider the many TV series, novels, comic books, and whatnot, then it gets even bigger. Now, Lucasfilm did us all a solid and released acomplete mapof theStar Warsgalaxy,an interactive masterpiece that reveals just how big and weirdly wonderful the galaxy far, far away really is. The whole thing was put together byStar WarsauthorJason Fry, who wrote not only the beautifulStar Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedinovelization but also manyreference books—like the one the map is based on, 2009’sStar Wars: The Essential Atlas—and a huge team from Lucasfilm and DK, and it will be updated asnew loreis released....

Following hisaward-winning performance as Joe inMay December,Charles Meltonis the talk of the town (and the internet). Joe’s emotional journey was the tour de force of the film, finally giving the actor his flowers. However, his rise to stardom is no surprise to those who watched him regularly onRiverdaleuntil the series ended in 2023. Entering in the second season as the newReggie Mantle, replacingRoss Butlerin the role, Melton changed the character — and, by extension, the show — for the better, bringing a much-needed new energy to Reggie (even after only 13 episodes of Butler’s take) that turned him into the character that fans later came to adore, especially in the final season....

Christopher Nolan’sDunkirkwill prove to be the winner of the weekend at the box office by quite a large gait, bringing in $50.5 million at the domestic market, according to estimates. And as I said yesterday, it’s a win tied almost exclusively to the name recognition of Mr. Nolan, who has a bit of a history of bringing audiences in for movies they might otherwise skip like the faux-cerebral head-trip known as Inception....
