Rachel Zegler took to Instagram to apologize for her heated reaction last week to the re-election of Donald Trump. Disney‘s upcoming Snow White star received blowback following her original post, where she declared, “May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” and “there is a deep deep sickness in this country,”
Every year when the new Academy Award nominations are announced, that’s inevitably followed by people sharing what they believe was snubbed in the biggest categories. But there are also a handful of Oscar-related decisions that continue to be contested years after a ceremony happened. In my case, I believe The Shawshank Redemption, a movie packed
Arthouse streamer and distributor MUBI has canceled its international film festival in Istanbul, Turkey over concerns about local censorship just as the annual event was set to kick off.

While the Dune: Part 2 release date might feel far away, it remains one of the best 2024 movies that’s come out so far. As awards season soon begins, we expect to talk a lot about how the Frank Herbert adaptation will be part of the 2025 Academy Awards. While it’s already in discussion for
Tom Hanks is speaking his mind about movie critics and how he believes one’s perceptions of a film can change over time. The Oscar winner recently appeared on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, where he jokingly used the phrase “cocksuckers” to describe a film critic who initially wasn’t a fan of his 1996
While Disney has tried time and again to make successful movies out of theme park attractions, there has only ever really been one success. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies have been massive box office hits, even when they’re not particularly loved by critics. The franchise has been in limbo for years following the decision
Yoshida Daihachi’s Teki Cometh proved to be the big winner of the Tokyo International Film Festival’s major awards categories that were revealed Wednesday night at a glitzy ceremony in the Japanese capital.

Spooky season may have reached its official end, but the list of upcoming horror movies continues to provide. Some of the best scary movies have been distributed by A24 in recent years, and Hugh Grant no doubt hopes to be amongst the next success stories as the star of Heretic. Grant plays Mr. Reed, who
No Other Land can lay claim to be one of the most important documentary of the year. A timely, powerful, and as The Hollywood Reporter critic Lovia Gyarkye put it in her Berlin review, “devastating portrait” of life under Israeli occupation in the West Bank, the film was shot over five years by a collective
Martha Stewart made headlines this past week due to comments she made about her neighbor, Ryan Reynolds. The lifestyle guru specifically opined that the Red Notice star is “not so funny in real life.” After the comments went viral, Reynolds responded with an A+ comment that’s since made the rounds (and seemingly disputed the notion
The headlines were grim. Slapped with poor reviews and a B- CinemaScore from audiences, Robert Zemeckis’ new movie Here opened to just $4.8 million from 2,642 North American theaters over the Nov. 1-3 weekend despite the intriguing chance to see the veteran director reunite with stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright for the first time
There are few things you can bet on in Hollywood, but what you can count on is Law Roach coordinating excellent wardrobe for his client, Zendaya. Just this year alone, they graced us with the incredible armored look for the Dune sequel, and there was also the actress’ return to the Met Gala, which featured
After a sluggish start, Venom: The Last Dance gained ground in its second weekend. The Sony comic book movie declined a franchise-low 49 percent to $26.1 million from 4,131 screens to win an overall quiet weekend heading into the hotly contested presidential race. The final installment in the Venom trilogy has now earned $90 million
I’m not saying Ernest Scared Stupid is one of the best ‘90s movies or anything like that, but the classic Halloween comedy has been one of my favorites since I first watched it as a kid. Recently, after many years and countless attempts, I finally convinced my family to watch Ernest P. Worrell battle a
Taiwanese-Burmese filmmaker Midi Z caused a stir and gained good notices with his 2019 film Nina Wu, which dealt with the exploitation of women in entertainment, and was released in the midst of the global #MeToo movement, a long overdue public reckoning for powerful men who had committed acts of sexual violence and misconduct. Selected
Margot Robbie is officially a mother! We’ve just learned that the 34-year-old Barbie star and her 34-year-old husband and producing partner Tom Ackerley welcomed a healthy baby boy back in October. The massive milestone allegedly happened two weeks ago when she gave birth near their home in Venice Beach, California, and Ackerley is already on
With abortion on the ballot in several states in Tuesday’s election, writer and director Nazrin Choudhury’s Oscar-nominated short film Red, White and Blue about a single mother searching for access to an abortion feels as timely as ever. The British-born multi-hyphenate doesn’t always see it that way. “The upcoming election, in which abortion is such
Whether it be through his Deadpool-related posts, his faux feud with Hugh Jackman and more, Ryan Reynolds has solidified himself as one of Hollywood’s wittiest stars. However, there’s at least one person who’d argue that the actor isn’t that humorous in real life. Martha Stewart, who’s Reynolds’ neighbor, recently claimed that the actor is “not
Tom Hanks is happy to leave Forrest Gump just how it is. The Oscar winner, who reteamed with his Forrest Gump co-star Robin Wright and director Robert Zemeckis for their new movie Here, recently told The New York Times that he’s thankful a sequel to the 1994 film was never made. “It is this extraordinary amalgam that stands completely on its
It couldn’t have pleased me more to see Alien: Romulus absolutely crush in its box office run on the 2024 movie schedule. Director Fede Álvarez’s midquel was a dark spectacle that proved the saga still has a loyal fanbase, whether or not Ellen Ripley is present. That development has apparently inspired some movement in further
Chloe East has a distinctive coping mechanism for navigating the pressures of her growing fame — she convinces herself that every project might fail. Her first big role was in 2021’s HBO teen drama Generation, and when network executives touted the series as “the next Euphoria,” her first thought was, “Is it, though?” Next, she
Robert Zemeckis’ legacy in the film industry is one that is accentuated by his ambition to advance the medium and attempt things that others aren’t even thinking about let alone trying. From the blend of live-action and animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit to the split production of Cast Away to his run ensconced in
Tom Hanks isn’t looking to go back and re-live his 30s. The 68-year-old actor, who plays a wide range of ages in director Robert Zemeckis’s new movie Here thanks to de-aging technology, was recently asked by Entertainment Tonight if there was a specific age he enjoyed going back to in the movie. However, Hanks said
One of the things that makes the Star Wars franchise so enduring to fans is the random side characters that we all know and love. Often pages and pages of fan fiction are written about the most fleeting characters in the show. Entire backstories are invented and enter the lore – and sometimes even the
New technologies led by artificial intelligence and virtual production are profoundly changing visual effects but are still “another paintbrush” in the service of storytelling, says VFX veteran George Murphy. “Virtual production is not just a tool for VFX; it’s a storytelling tool that allows actors to feel fully immersed in the scene, instead of having
With O’ Hallows Eve just a day away, the 2024 celebrity Halloween costumes are in full swing! The Little Mermaid’s Halle Bailey took inspiration from the Hollywood star she always gets mistaken for – name-wise, anyway – Halle Berry. Bailey rocked Berry’s iconic outfit from 2002’s Die Another Day! Halle Berry has played a lot
Emily the Strange is getting the feature treatment from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. The studio announced Wednesday that it is collaborating with producer Bad Robot to adapt the illustrated character that was created 30 years ago by artist Rob Reger and the Cosmic Debris team.

If you’ve stomached The Substance, or any of the few other 2024 movies she’s been part of, you know how exciting of a talent Margaret Qualley is to Hollywood.

Hirokazu Koreeda confessed he had wanted to have an in-depth talk with Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia ever since he saw her film All We Imagine as Light at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
