Benedict Cumberbatch recently participated in Variety’s “Know Their Lives” video series and shared some regret over his controversial role in Ben Stiller’s “Zoolander 2.” The “Doctor Strange” actor played a non-binary fashion model named All in the comedy sequel, which was an infamous box office flop in 2016 with just $28 million at the domestic

“Come See Me in the Good Light” director Ryan White has made a documentary that mirrors the way he felt when he first arrived at the home of spoken word artist Andrea Gibson, who has been diagnosed with incurable ovarian cancer, and their spouse, poet Megan Falley. Like their greeting, the documentary comes as an

The upstate New York high schoolers at the heart of “Middletown” hint at what the Breakfast Club crew might have been had they shared a purpose beyond sulky rebellion. In 1991, teacher Fred Isseks created a way for his students to channel both their curiosity and their rightly contrarian impulses in an elective called Electronic

The Academy has named its production team for the 97th Academy Awards ceremony. Rob Paine is set to return as co-executive producer, and Taryn Hurd and Sarah Levine Hall return as producers.

The “now” in “Deaf President Now!” refers to the second week of March 1988 — when the students of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., united in protest of the board’s choice of a non-deaf candidate to lead the school.

A judge on Monday declined to impose restrictions on what Justin Baldoni‘s attorney can say about his legal fight with Blake Lively, but warned he may move up the March 2026 trial date if the press battle continues. Judge Lewis J. Liman presided over the first hearing in the sprawling litigation between the two “It

Up until last week, “Emilia Pérez” looked like a narrow Oscar frontrunner, in part because of its political resonances. Sure, the character of Emilia — played by Karla Sofía Gascón — did not become a better person after transitioning (in fact, her cruelty drives the action of the film up until the final scene). But

Fourteen years after “Final Destination 5” made a bloody splash in theaters, the trailer for the newest addition to the long-running horror franchise, “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” has released just in time for the series’ 25th anniversary.

Emma Corrin had never before played a baddie or ventured into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But when “Deadpool & Wolverine” casting director Sarah Halley Finn came across the British actor — best known for the films “My Policeman” and “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” and playing Princess Diana on “The Crown” — she knew she had found

Kris Bowers sat in the dark, watching the Oscar nominations while his pregnant wife and 3-year-old daughter slept. He wasn’t trying to wake them up or cause chaos. Although an Oscar winner for live action short, the esteemed composer had never been nominated for one of his orchestrations — until now, with his recognized work

Julia Fox has a message for Hollywood. “We don’t want reboots,” she told me Sunday on the Grammys red carpet. “We don’t want remakes. We don’t want the sequel.

Danny Dyer, a much loved figure on U.K. screens who recently made waves globally thanks to the Disney+ hit “Rivals,” is set to lead a new film.

During one of the countless, often boneheaded interviews Sally Ride endured about her pioneering role in the United States space program, she schools a reporter on how to address her. “It’s Dr. Ride or Sally, but not Miss,” she says, flashing a smile that softened the lecture and much of director Cristina Costantini’s absorbing documentary

Cumbia music is the one grounding constant in Argentine-born Spanish filmmaker Amalia Ulman’s sophomore effort “Magic Farm,” a formally radical, biting satire about odious, privileged Americans adrift in a remote Argentine rural town. The group of foreigners works for a Vice-type media company dedicated to exploiting offbeat stories from around the world for sensationalist video

Nicolas Cage spoke out emphatically against letting AI infiltrate acting after winning best actor in a film for “Dream Scenario” at the 52nd annual Saturn Awards at Universal City on Sunday. “Thank you for recognizing ‘Dream Scenario,’” Cage said in his acceptance speech. “This is in fact one of my favorite movies I’ve ever made.

In the short teaser that debuted during the Grammys, the killer doll showed off some new dance moves while

When a film starts with a quote from Mary Shelley, it’s tempting to predict exactly where the story might be going. Sure enough, “Dead Lover” features the resurrection of a dead creature, and yet, writer-director Grace Glowicki keeps surprising the audience and gives much more than they expected. The characters she creates and the situations

“Touch Me” starts intriguingly with a long scene set in a therapist’s office. Joey (Olivia Taylor Dudley), who suffers from OCD and childhood trauma, recounts how she met a sexy alien from another planet and describes the hot affair she had with him. According to her story, not only was the sex good, but his

“Paddington in Peru,” the third tale about the marmalade-loving bear, is nearing the $100 million milestone at the international box office.

Teams behind this year’s CineMart projects – IFFR’s co-production market – are “very conscious that the world is on fire,” says new head of IFFR Pro Marten Rabarts. “They needed to be both artistically impeccable and make us feel we can make some kind of difference.

Brady Corbet’s epic American immigrant saga “The Brutalist” has been given the top prize by the U.K.’s leading film writers and broadcasters.

At the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, there were movies that provoked their share of buzz, chatter and official breathless enthusiasm. But it’s fair to say that no movie this year generated half the conversation that Sundance did about itself. The buzz was all about the festival — which city it would move to in 2027

A24 is closing on acquiring worldwide rights to “Sorry, Baby,” one of the buzzier movies to premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The movie sparked a days-long bidding war with Neon and Mubi among the independent studios in the mix. Sources say the price tag is near the $8 million mark. As the logline

Karla Sofía Gascón claims the viral tweet in which she appeared to call her “Emilia Pérez” co-star Selena Gomez a “rich rat” is completely fabricated. “Of course that’s not mine,” Gascón said during a Saturday night interview with CNN en Español. “I have never said anything about my partner. I would never refer to her
