It’s been a long and ultimately disappointing road forPaterno, the first narrative to attempt to confront the horror and insanity of theJerry Sanduskycase. At first,Brian De Palmawas attached to the project, originally titledHappy Valley, withAl Pacinosigned on to playJoe Paterno, the once-celebrated Penn State football coach who (allegedly) helped cover up assistant coach Sandusky’s years of pedophilia. De Palma is the perfect choice for the story, which is why I imagine he was eventually replaced withBarry Levinson, a competent director who has an irksome tendency to play it safe with volatile material, while Pacino remains in the lead role....

Last week, in London, I got to attend the world premiere ofBohemian Rhapsodyat Wembley Arena. Unlike most premieres, which are lucky to hold a thousand people, Wembley Arena is a huge building that normally hosts concerts. So for the world premiere of the Queen movie, 20thCentury Fox filled the arena up with around seven thousand people and it was as interactive an experience as I’ve ever seen. During the movie, when Queen is in the studio coming up with the beginning of “We Will Rock You”, the crowd was clapping and stomping with the band....

Ryan Gosling’s highly anticipated science fiction movie,Project Hail Mary, has made some significant progress. A report viaVarietyconfirms that filming for the project has now wrapped. This is exciting news for many reasons, but particularly because it suggests that the previously scheduled release date of July 11, 2025, could possibly be brought forward. The film’s production status was revealed by its writer,Drew Goddard, during an interview with Variety where he also teased what audiences can expect from the movie, an adaptation ofAndy Wier’s best-selling bookof the same name....

Even more than perhaps its potent 80s nostalgia,Stranger Thingsbecame a phenomenon thanks to the endlessly charming chemistry of its young cast. The latest chapter of the kids-fightin-evil sci-fi series adds a triple scoop to that formula with what I’d like to affectionately call the Scoops Ahoy Crew. Season 3 finds antagonist-turned-fan-favorite Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) whiling away his summer working alongside Robin—played byMaya Hawke, who is going to be a huge deal after this season, trust—at the Starcourt Mall’s ice cream shop, Scoops Ahoy....

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The White LotusIn the past few years, we’ve seen many popular miniseries thought to be single, standalone projects get extended for additional seasons as a result of overwhelming audience enthusiasm. The cast ofBig Little Liesreturned for a second season, and shows likeFargoandTrue Detectiveembraced the anthology format.The White Lotusoffers somewhat of a middle ground between these two approaches. While the majority of the Season 2 cast is new, there is some connective tissue to the events of the first season thanks to the reintroduction of Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) and her new husband, Greg (Jon Gries)....

In this new trailer, Marvel legendStan Leeappears and narrates the thematic significance of this rag-tag bunch along with an important reminder: though they are heroes, they are also human....

It’s funny to think thatThe Lion King, one of the most beloved and celebrated films in the Disney canon was considered something of a risky experiment when it was created. After all, the film isn’t just a fan favorite, it went on to win two Oscars, became one of the highest-grossing animated films of all times, and has since launched a Broadway show that’s a box office sensation in its own right, a wealth of Disney spin-off properties, and of course, Jon Favreau’s upcoming live-action movie, which is poised to...

We’ve also come to understand that sequels will generally not be as good as the original. It’s hard to replicate success, after all. That said, sometimes popular movies spawn sequels that are so bad, you won’t believe they exist. See how many of these terrible sequels you’ve even heard of (bonus points if you’ve actually seen them). American Psycho 2 Originally written under the titleThe Girl Who Wouldn’t Die, this 2002 direct-to-DVD film was quickly changed into anAmerican Psychosequel to capitalize on that movie’s critical and commercial success....
