This is not based on a true story like The Conjuring. How is your mindset and approach to this kind of horror movie different? Because this is a fantasy in every sense of the word; because you’re talking about a fictional story. You’re not really preparing like I was on The Conjuring where you’re sifting through tapes and audiotapes, and what did he wear, what did he look like, how did he do this, let me find this story, let me find that....
Interview with the Vampire Episode 1 Welcome to the world of Anne Rice’s vampires. The landscape has changed, but the emotional intent remains. Entitled “In Throes of Increasing Wonder,” the premiere episode aims to evoke the feeling. Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire makes its introduction via Eric Bogosian’s Daniel Molloy. He was the young, unnamed “boy reporter” who interviewed Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) in the 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire....
Late Vampire Chronicles author Anne Rice was never completely onboard with the 1994 film adaptation of her book: Interview with the Vampire, which starred Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Taking issue with casting and other certain liberties, Rice ultimately endorsed it, but denounced its 2002 sequel, Queen of the Damned, with Aaliyah in the title role. Rice and her son Christopher have been involved with AMC’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire through its own tortured journey to series adaptation, so it seems any changes to the source material come with tacit pre-approval....
Where to Watch the Hellbound Animated Short Film Sang-ho first visited the world of Hellbound in his early-naughts animated short film 지옥: 두개의 삶, or The Hell (Two Kinds of Life). (Part I was made in 2003 and Part II was made in 2006.) The 11-minute rotoscope short follows two different people who are visited by angels, who tell them of their impending deaths and where they will end up afterwards....
First, some background. For those unfamiliar with Fear Street‘s origins, the book series was created by Goosebumps author Stine to appeal to readers slightly older than the Goosebumps demo. It was originally published from 1989 to 1999, but was rebooted in 2005. The series has sold over 80 million copies worldwide, which makes it one of the bestselling YA book series of all time. With an IP like that, it’s easy to see why 20th Century Fox, the original studio to greenlight the film, went after the books for a screen adaptation of some kind....
Like ITV Hub currently, you’ll also be able to watch the ITV channels live on ITVX – although let’s hope the new service has ironed out the live-streaming problems that frustrated so many football fans during last year’s Euros. ITVX: Free and Paid For Options (Including BritBox) ITVX will have over 10,000 hours of content to stream for free (although like ITV Hub, there will be ads), including past and present ITV dramas and documentaries, some US series, and hundreds of films (including the Back to the Future trilogy)....
Gacy is best known as the “Killer Clown,” but what sent Hachmeister’s neurological system into overdrive was how normal this clown appeared to be. That is the biggest reveal and the most common thread across the narrative. Gacy wasn’t Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight, and even less like Joaquim Phoenix’s neurotic take. Gacy wasn’t socially inept, he wasn’t freakish, and he certainly wasn’t a loner. He was politically connected, threw a popular annual neighborhood picnic, ran the Polish Constitution Day Parade, and had his picture taken with First Lady Rosalynn Carter....
In previous interviews, Zack revealed he never watched the theatrical cut of Justice League which bears his name as director, and Joss Whedon’s added name as co-screenwriter. But he’s estimated around 70 to 75 percent of it was rewritten and reshot by Whedon. Now in a new profile piece with Vanity Fair, Zack and Deborah reveal the reason he’ll never be sure is that Deborah and Nolan watched the “Whedon cut” of Justice League in fall 2017, and decided to spare Zack the added pain of seeing what became of his work....
That query was posed today to Marvel Studios chief creative officer Kevin Feige during a Television Critics Association (TCA) presentation for Marvel’s Disney+ offerings, which include the currently streaming WandaVision, the upcoming The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and many others to come. “I think we probably could do it,” replied Feige when asked about the potential return of the Netflix/ABC characters. “I think a lot of that stuff comes back to us....
“Strange things can start to happen when beloved characters slip into the public domain, and the upcoming horror movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey sure is a testament to that. The upcoming horror movie – which is of course not related to Disney in any way, shape, or form – turns the anthropomorphic yellow teddy bear into a monstrous murderer. How is this even allowed, you ask? Well, the classic story entered the public domain at the start of this year, which means anyone and everyone is now free to do with Pooh as they please....
“On November 16, 1990, what appeared to be a fun-filled little family yarn about a kid left to his own devices at Christmastime and forced to fend off a couple of bungling burglars became an instant classic. Today, no holiday movie marathon is complete without a viewing of Home Alone, the movie that turned Macaulay Culkin into one of the biggest kid stars of all time.” Read more at Mental Floss....
“The days of hanging onto your ex’s Netflix password long after you have broken up may soon be over. According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is trying to curb the long-held tradition of password sharing with a new feature that will catch people in the act.” Read more at Thrillist. David Bowie’s 1974 album Diamond Dogs was reportedly supposed to be a full-fledge musical of George Orwell’s 1984....
“In conversation with Vanity Fair, Noah Hawley confirmed his upcoming Alien series at FX is “not a Ripley story”, but one concerning financial inequality on Earth. “It’s not a Ripley story. She’s one of the great characters of all time, and I think the story has been told pretty perfectly, and I don’t want to mess with it. It’s a story that’s set on Earth also. The alien stories are always trapped… Trapped in a prison, trapped in a spaceship....
“DC comics movie The Suicide Squad has our mismatched group of villains coming together to take on a daunting task, but at the end of the day, actress Storm Reid may have faced the biggest challenge yet. The 18-year-old actress plays Tyla, Bloodsport’s (Idris Elba’s) daughter, who ends up becoming his motivation in joining Task Force X.” Read more at The Mary Sue Hold on, did this car commercial just reveal how What If…?...
“Netflix, on a mission to appeal to global audiences, boasts a huge collection of foreign shows that you may be overlooking. (If you’re specifically looking for good anime on Netflix, that’s a whole different list.) You’ll want to try one of these titles the next time you wonder, ‘What should I watch?’” Read more at Thrillist. One of the earliest recorded meteor showers is appearing again in April. Here’s everything you need to know about the Lyrids....
Although adults will pick up the story for comparisons’ sake, Morrow focuses her attention on today’s young adults who may not have read Alcott’s novel. She also is aware of younger Black readers who may have been exposed to the original story but could not relate to it because Alcott’s perspective is overwhelmingly white. The central focus of the story is still the lives of Joanna “Jo,” “Meg,” and Bethlehem “Beth” with their adopted sister Amethyst “Amy” March as they navigate through young adulthood in 1863....
“Season 2…?” you may well ask. “That’s the first I’ve heard of it.” Yes, indeed. It appears that Loki isn’t a limited series for Disney’s booming streaming service, and that Tom Hiddleston will reprise his fan favorite role as Thor’s unscrupulous brother – he’s adopted – for another batch of episodes after Season 1 has eventually debuted. If that 2022 filming date holds, we could see Loki Season 2 emerge in late 2022 or early 2023, but it would of course be helpful to know when Season 1 might arrive....
Which is, frankly, colossally lacking in self-awareness. The Rings of Power is an adaptation of the written word into a visual medium made in the third decade of the 21st century. It is not going to match books written in the middle of the 20th century in the same way as Peter Jackson’s films do not match the books. Adaptations are affected by the change in medium and the context creative decisions are made in....
Simply put, Ghost Ships are…well…ships full of ghosts and ghouls that can be found in Lost Ark‘s open seas. They often yield tremendous rewards, but actually managing to defeat the ship’s undead crew and claim your prizes quickly proves to be one of the most frustrating challenges in the game. Of course, you’ll have to actually find these ships before you can raid them, and that part of the process is certainly proving to be half the battle....
With her previous two films (she also wrote Green) essentially being psychological dramas/thrillers exploring aspects of the female psyche, it somehow makes perfect sense for her to direct the new feature Black Christmas, the third movie to come out under that title since 1974. All three are set in a sorority house on a mostly empty college campus during the Christmas break, but only Bob Clark’s 1974 original and Takal’s version address issues relevant to women in their respective eras....
