“The Fall and Rise of M. Night Shyamalan” is how Rolling Stone once described the Indian-American filmmaker. There’s no arguing that Shyamalan has made a name for himself in the filmmaking world, however. He first came on the Hollywood map after his smash hit, The Sixth Sense, earned six Academy Award nominations. Although some of his movies since then have been duds (we’re looking at you, Lady in the Water and The Happening), he certainly has gems across his expansive filmography....

There is no doubt that the single most popular activity this upcoming Halloween will be, as it has always been, for kids to run around their neighborhood in costume begging for candy. However, for those who have outgrown trick or treating, a binge session of Stranger Things season 2 may very well be in order, since that is when Netflix is planning on releasing the new season of their hit sci-fi series....

The ABC hit medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy has been on television since 2005. With 18 seasons already on air, star and producer Ellen Pompeo is finally ready to say goodbye to Meredith Grey. In an interview with Insider, Pompeo explains why she’s ready to end the series. “I’ve been trying to focus on convincing everybody that it should end,” Pompeo said. “I feel like I’m the super naive one who keeps saying, ‘But what’s the story going to be, what story are we going to tell?...

Fox Home Entertainment has big plans for Eragon in March. In a story from The Digital Bits, they report that the studio will be releasing that title on standard and Blu-ray disc March 20. Synopsis: Based on the Christopher Paolini-penned bestselling fantasy novel about a youth whose discovery of a dragon egg leads him to become a knight and battle an evil king. The medieval-set tale revolves around a farm boy who learns he is the last of a breed of benevolent Dragon Riders, whose magical powers derived from their bond with the beasts....

Eva Mendes has graced the silver screen for over two decades, appearing in successful films such as Hitch, The Place Beyond the Pines, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. However, the actress hasn’t been in a feature film since 2014, when she starred in Lost River, a movie directed and written by her husband, Ryan Gosling. So it’s been almost ten years since we’ve seen Mendes in theaters, and her only credit since then was voice work in Bluey, the animated children’s program following a Blue Heeler dog with her family in everyday situations....

Fernanda Andrade and Suzan Crowley talk about their experiences on William Brent Bell’s horror tale hitting theaters January 6 Last night, I was invited to take part in a screening of Paramount Pictures’ upcoming horror tale The Devil Inside, which opens in theaters nationwide January 6. Several members of the cast and crew were on hand for the event, and I was able to speak with the leading ladies of this exorcism tale, Fernanda Andrade and Suzan Crowley....

The announcement that James Franco would be playing former Cuban leader Fidel Castro in the upcoming film Alina of Cuba did not sit well with John Leguizamo, but the controversial casting has garnered a ringing endorsement from the actual subject of the film. Alina Fernandez, an outspoken critic of the Cuban government who happens to be Castro’s real-life daughter, has since weighed in on the situation. Speaking with Deadline, Fernandez made it clear she fully supports the casting choice....

The Good Director Tony Bill has made a film that looks phenomenal. The Bad Fox sent me a burned DVD that didn’t contain all the extras or packaging. Flyboys tells the story of pilots during World War One when planes were first used as fighting machines. The story concerns the airmen of the Lafayette Escadrille who fought with the French against the Germans. After his land is foreclosed on, Blaine Rawlings (James Franco) puts the man who did it in the hospital and thus flees to France to be a fighter pilot....

Fox is serving up 13 episodes of the animated comedy series Bob’s Burgers from Home Movies co-creator Loren Bouchard. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project from 20th Century Fox TV, is set at a seaside East Coast town and centers on Bob, a creative grill man who runs a struggling burger joint with the help of his tightly wound wife and their three unhelpful kids. Although Bob’s Burgers will have a similar look and tone to the rest of the comedies from Fox’s Sunday animated block, it will be “a little more urban,” said Bouchard, who spent several years working in bars and restaurants during his 20s....

Phil Miller (Will Forte) is now the “world’s greatest everything” in the new trailer for Fox’s upcoming sitcom The Last Man on Earth, debuting Sunday, March 1 at 9 PM ET on Fox with the series premiere “The Elephant in the Room”. Since he is seemingly the only survivor of a global apocalypse, by default, Phil becomes the “world’s greatest” handyman, athlete, lover, driver, collector, bowler, shopper, mixologist, marksman, plumber, slugger, daredevil and, most importantly, survivor....

Relax (for the time being) Friends lovers, as the show will not be leaving Netflix. At least not on January 1, 2019, as had been previously indicated. Subscribers and fans of the sitcom were quick to notice reports that the series was departing the streaming service to kick off the new year, with the available until date even appearing on the service’s website and app for a short period. This led to panic that, luckily, isn’t necessary, as it’s been confirmed that Friends is still going to be available on Netflix in the new year....

AMC has exactly zero plans on ending The Walking Dead anytime soon. The network has seen ratings for their biggest show decline in recent years, but it’s still a monster hit that stands above just about anything else on cable TV. As such, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the head of AMC has plans to keep The Walking Dead universe alive for another decade or more. Network CEO Josh Sapan spoke recently at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference and, as one might expect, the subject of The Walking Dead came up....

Adapting a massive, still-ongoing fantasy book series with hundreds of characters is no easy task, yet creators David Benioff and D.B Weiss managed to do so with George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. For eight seasons, from 2011 to 2019, the show followed the various residents of Westeros and their quests for power, love, and survival. A massive success for HBO, the show was praised for its characters, performances, and overall story, though many felt the final season was a disappointing run....

Empire recently got a chance to speak with the new Captain America: The First Avenger, Chris Evans, where he gave some new details on the costume for the film. The site also asked Evans about how they will go about using the character’s iconic shield. “It’s an amazing costume. Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it’s tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top - and given the fact that the movie takes place in the ’40s and ’50s - they’ve done a really good job of making it look really cool....

Thursday, July 20th marks the opening day of Comic-Con, the largest comic book and pop culture event in the North America. Most of the major Hollywood studios are showcasing their upcoming films and television programs that fall into the superhero/action/sci-fi/animation genre.

The highly anticipated next installment of the Creed franchise is only a few months away, and fans of Adonis Creed can watch him square up with longtime friend Damian in Creed III. MGM recently revealed a featurette for the film, with star Michael B. Jordan talking about what it’s like to step into the shoes of Adonis once more, this time as his directorial debut: Jordan previously said that directing himself is ’like having a superpower,’ and took advice from other actors who have done the same....

The sixth installment of the frightening Child’s Play thriller franchise, Curse of Chucky, begins principal photography in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on September 5, 2012. The franchise comes full circle as Toyland’s most gruesome serial killer returns in a horrifying all-new movie from Universal 1440 Entertainment, a production entity of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “Since his introduction to audiences in Child’s Play almost a quarter-century ago, Chucky has haunted the nightmares of a generation of moviegoers,” said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Universal 1440 Entertainment....

Another mutant is joining the cast of the Hugh Jackman-starring X-Men Origins: Wolverine. X-Men Films.net tells us that Cyclops is going to be appearing in the prequel to the X-Men films. Australian actor Tim Pockock will be playing a young Scott Summers in the film. Considering that the first meeting between Cyclops and Wolverine seemed to occur in the first X-Men, it seems a little odd to have the characters meet in this movie - especially since Cyclops isn’t supposed to be nearly as old as Logan....

Is it true that Daniel Craig almost appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? It’s still hard to say for sure with no clear answer, but given how the question made Craig squirm, there seems to be some truth to the rumor. Previously, it had been reported that Craig had been offered to play Balder the Brave, brother of Thor (Chris Hemsworth), in the Marvel sequel. According to that report, Craig had initially agreed to the cameo before a rise in COVID cases had him pulling out before filming began....
