A few nights ago I was on the red carpet at the world premiere ofRon Howard’sInfernoin Florence. In case you’re wondering why Florence, the city plays a large role in the latestDan Brownadaptation and I’m sure that’s the reason Sony held the big press junket for the film in the Italian city. Anyway, while on the carpet I managed to get a few minutes with Ron Howard. Since I spoke to him earlier that day aboutInfernoat the press junket (look for that interview week of release) I decided to use my time to ask about a few other things like who he trusts for honest feedback, the status of his National Geographic seriesGeniuswhich is a ten-part installment aboutAlbert Einstein, and I also got updates on what he’s working on now which includesNeil Gaiman’sThe Graveyard BookandNealStephenson’s sci-fi novelSeveneves....

Seth Greenhas enjoyed a very successful career doing silly voices for animated TV shows and specials, most notably as Chris Griffin onFamily Guyand innumerable roles onRobot Chicken. Both animated series have famously poked fun at the epic and expansiveStar Warsuniverse over the years.Seth MacFarlane’s creation even enjoyed three very special episodes–“Blue Harvest”, “Something, Something, Something, Dark Side” and “It’s a Trap!"–that paralleled the three originalStar Warsfilms, with Green’s Chris Griffin taking on the role of Luke Skywalker....

If you’ve always wanted to seeJames Cameron’s 3D skills applied to one of his classics, your time is coming…eventually. Late last year, we learned that Cameron was working on a 3D digital remastering of his 1991 classicTerminator 2: Judgement Day, which was planned to hit theaters this year in conjunction with the film’s 25th anniversary. Well, that time has come and gone and for reasons we don’t yet know, the 3D version never arrived....

2017 gave us several TV series that focused on the evolving methods behind capturing notorious criminals. In Discovery’sManhunt: Unabomber, we learned about forensic linguistics, developed by the FBI’s Jim Fitzgerald that helped connect Ted Kaczynski to his crimes. Going back a few decades earlier, Netflix’sMindhunterfollows the FBI’s early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling, through the lens of the Behavioral Sciences Unit. Now, TNT’sThe Alienist, based onCaleb Carr’s book of the same name, goes back almost a century earlier to the very nascence of connecting forensics and psychology, as madness was defined as being “alienated” from one’s own nature, giving the name “alienist” to those who study the afflicted....

Most Americans first met the horror voice ofAndré Øvredalwith his off-kilter monster movie/mockumentaryTrollhunterin 2010, a mildly cuddly piece of horror fare that’s easily earned a spot as one of the best films of the found footage genre. But withThe Autopsy of Jane Doe, Øvredal’s first English language film, any illusions of the director as soft-hearted genre helmer have been shattered. While emotional,Jane Doeis no more cuddly than the cold steel slab our object of curiosity occupies, and the series of events Øvredal orchestrates might test the resolve (and the stomachs) of even devoted horror fans....

WithTerminator Zeroabout to hit Netflix, there’s no time like the present to revisitThe Terminator’s extensive history and lore. WhenTerminator 2: Judgment Dayhit theaters in 1991, it’s unlikely thatJames Cameronknew what sort of success he had on his hands. Uniting a powerful cast that includedArnold Schwarzenegger,Linda Hamilton,Edward Furlong, andRobert Patrick,T2surpassed the original 1984 film in nearly every way — completely blowing expectations out of the water for audiences and critics alike. Still considered by some to be the greatest action flick of all time,Judgment Dayspawneda plethora of sequels and imitationsthat never quite lived up to the original....

There are many frightening moments throughout theHarry Potterseries, involvingenormous, human-eating spiders, fifty-foot long snakes,faceless soul-sucking demons, and death defying tournaments that cause you to lose your mind. But as scary asHarry Pottercan be sometimes, it is also equally endearing and inspirational, and for the first six films,Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) always managed to miraculously triumph over any terrifying threat. However, that seemingly undying hope significantly dwindles when we arrive atHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1....

Andorhas been positioned by both critics and the fandom as the savior oftheStar Warsfranchise, the clear high point of Disney’s mismanagement of the once-illustrious brand.Tony Gilroyhas gotten a lion’s share of credit for preventing the franchise from spinning out into total oblivionwith how he had his writers and directors handle the origin story of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). If any other major Hollywood franchise needs a similar savior, it’s the MCU, which is desperate to regain some social clout with their upcomingThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsand thenext fewAvengersfilms....
