While a Game of Thrones movie is in the works, it’s not the only big fantasy film being planned. For a long time, fantasy stories have mostly been made for television, as studios were hesitant to invest in large-scale fantasy movies. However, with several major fantasy films now confirmed, it looks like the genre is about to have a resurgence in theaters.
Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino is developing a new version of American Psycho, based on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel. Scott Z. Burns is writing the script. So far, no actor has been cast as Patrick Bateman, the role Christian Bale famously played in the 2000 film. Bale recently shared his initial reaction to the reboot at the premiere of his latest movie, The Bride!
A24’s recent focus on weddings has fans wondering if Zendaya will be showcasing wedding dresses on the red carpet this spring. She’s known for coordinating her outfits with a movie’s theme, and her stylist, Law Roach, hinted they might have already missed a real wedding between Zendaya and Tom Holland. His cheerful announcement at an awards show could mean we’re in for a season of stunning bridal fashion during the upcoming press tour – or maybe she’ll surprise us with tuxedos! It’s all up to Zendaya.
The sci-fi comedy-drama first aired in 2017 and has run for three seasons, with the latest one released in 2022. Since then, fans have been wondering if the show will be back for another season.
The Scream movies are famous for their strong opening scenes, and even though Scream 7 has some obvious problems, its opening is one of the best in the whole series. The first Scream movie quickly became a classic, largely because of its incredibly memorable opening sequence.
According to a crew member from the upcoming second season of Ahsoka (via Bespin Bulletin), Ewan McGregor might appear as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The crew member shared a story about being on set and how McGregor allowed him to hold Ahsoka’s lightsaber, strongly suggesting McGregor was indeed present during filming.
Bale commented on someone attempting a project – whether it’s a remake or something else entirely – and wished them well. He finished by saying he admires those who are courageous.
Frownland was made with very little money and wasn’t intended to be a mainstream hit – it was a passion project. But pursuing a demanding creative vision on your own can be as difficult as it is rewarding. Because of financial struggles, the film took six years to complete, with a year-long pause where Ronald pretended to be a copywriter in Sweden, essentially assembling a portfolio from online sources when money was tight. By the time Frownland was finished, Ronald and Mary had fallen in love, gotten married, and people had mostly stopped asking about the movie, treating it like a sensitive subject. Not knowing what to do with it, Ronald submitted the film to a small festival in Williamsburg, where it played to almost no one in a residential garage.
The new series, DTF St. Louis, immediately establishes itself as a darkly funny and thrilling show for today’s audiences. The story centers around the murder of Floyd Smernitch, played by David Harbour, a somewhat awkward Sign Language interpreter for a St. Louis news station. Harbour quickly delivers a compelling performance, reminiscent of his work in Revolutionary Road, but with a comedic edge. The opening scene shows Floyd participating in a painfully awkward therapy session, attempting to hug his reluctant stepson while reading him a prepared statement.
I’m confused by the wedding venue – it requires the women to climb stairs in their dresses if they don’t get married, which seems odd. Perhaps the show is trying to symbolize the challenges of marriage with this detail? In the end, two of the five couples decided to get married, while the other three realized they weren’t compatible.
