In Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2, Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) finds himself in an unenviable position: not only was he selected for jury duty, but something odd occurs during the murder trial’s opening statements. Details surrounding the night of the murder begin to trigger memories for him. First, he realizes he was in the same bar as the defendant James Sythe and his girlfriend Kendall, that same evening one year ago, an odd coincidence, but not too bizarre. There are only so many bars in a small town. But then he recalls an accident he had on the way home that night, right where the murder occurred. He hit a deer, or so he thought, with his Toyota 4Runner. He eventually surmises it must have been he who unknowingly struck and killed Kendall walking alone in the dark. And now he’s on a jury who must decide the fate...

Remember the days when anyone could simply head on over to their local theater on a whim, check the marquee for whichever movies happened to be playing next, and treat themselves to any number of solid, efficiently-made pictures made specifically for adults? That nostalgic scenario might as well feel as extinct as the dinosaurs in the year of our Lord 2024, but don't you dare tell that to Clint Eastwood. It goes without saying that at 94 years old, the nonagenarian is much closer to the twilight of his prolific career than its dawn, but the inevitable passing of time hasn't slowed him down one bit. If anything, he continues to prove that time has only forged a filmmaker as scrupulous, focused, and impassioned as ever.

Granted, the release of his latest sees Eastwood navigating a much different studio system than the one which first ushered him into the spotlight as one of our greatest American storytellers.

New Hope, Oregon, 1982, a group of four teenage friends – Reels, Penny, Mia and Simon - try to stave off the boredom of summer by hanging out, having fun and generally trying to forget about the realities of their lives and the difficult relationships with their parents. The small town they live in is going through an economic downturn and they have been cut off from the outside world due to maintenance work on the only bridge in and out of New Hope.

There is a brief flash of solace as one of the group, Reels (Drew Scheid) who works in the movie theatre, is told that a test screening of a new movie will be taking place. The four friends arrange to attend but Penny (Chloë Kerwin) is forbidden to go by her father, who is also the town’s preacher. Although she is more upset about not being able...

Stars: Chloë Kerwin, Drew Scheid, Johnny Berchtold, Rain Spencer | Written by Clark Baker, Stephen Susco | Directed by Clark Baker

Directed by Clark Baker, who co-wrote the script with Stephen Susco, Test Screening is a deliriously gloopy ‘80s-set sci-fi horror that owes a significant debt to Society (Brian Yuzna’s 1989 classic). Other references abound throughout, but that’s the film you’ll be itching to revisit after watching Baker’s small-town squelch-fest.

Set in the small Oregon town of New Hope (a deliberate Star Wars reference right out of the gate) in 1982, the film centres on a group of teenage friends: movie nerd Reels (Drew Scheid), who works at the failing local movie theatre; straight-laced Simon (Johnny Berchtold), who’s dealing with his depressed father and terminally ill mother; and Penny (Chloe Kerwin), the daughter of the local pastor, who’s struggling with her attraction to her attractive, free-spirited best friend...

"My love, I think about you all the time." Netflix has unveiled a quick 30-second teaser trailer for the film May December, the latest creation from American filmmaker Todd Haynes. It first premiered back in May at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and is next playing at the Deauville American Film Festival in France and at NYFF this fall. Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a seemingly secure married couple with a huge age-gap buckles under the pressure when a popular television actress arrives to do research for a film about their past. "May December explores one of the great talents of the human species: our colossal refusal to look at ourselves." The film stars Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman, and Charles Melton, with D.W.

Unhuman begins with title cards proclaiming it ”A Blumhouse Afterschool Special” and “Presented by the Student Teach Division (Std)”. That was the last thing I was expecting from a film by director Marcus Dunstan and his long-time co-writer Patrick Melton. While the three Feast films had their share of humour the duo are better known for more serious fare such as several of the later Saw films as well as The Collector and its sequel, both of which Dunstan also directed.

And it does begin like an Afterschool Special, Ever goes from dealing with her overprotective mother to being picked up by her best friend Tamra (Ali Gallo; Before I Go) who nearly hits Randall on their way to school. But...

Exclusive: Sierra McCormick (American Horror Stories), Jason Butler Harner (Ozark), Ryan Simpkins (Fear Street trilogy), Dominique Gayle (First Love), Nadezhda Amé (Graceland), Sabina Friedman-Seitz (The Florida Project), Emily Robinson (Eighth Grade), Drew Scheid (Mare of Easttown) and Anthony Del Negro (Lazy Susan) will star in Sour Milk, the first feature from writer-directors Sophia Sabella and Pablo Feldman, which recently wrapped production in the Bay Area.

The film follows Abby (McCormick), who is on the cusp of turning 15, straddling the line between childhood and adulthood when she is forced to move in with her father (Harner) and his younger girlfriend after her mother’s death. The drama is largely inspired by Sabella and Feldman’s experiences coming of age in Mill Valley, CA.

Sabella and Feldman produced with Jolene Mendes and Rabia Sultana, with Todd Traina, Robert Girard and Henry Schwartz exec producing. The production companies involved include Sultana Films in association with Near Future.

Exclusive: Unhuman will be the second of eight standalone horror and genre films from Epix’s and Blumhouse’s TV movie partnership.

From director Marcus Dunstan and writer Paul Soter, Unhuman follows the first film in the series A House on the Bayou and stars Brianne Tju (Light As a Feather), Benjamin Wadsworth (Your Honor), Ali Gallo (The Carpool) and Uriah Shelton (Freaky).

Unhuman follows a group of high school students whose school bus crashes while on a field trip. Relationships are tested amongst the students once they realize they are being stalked by a mysterious attacker who intends to drive them out of their bucolic adolescence and straight into a horrifying fight to survive.

The film also features Josh Mikel, Cj LeBlanc, Lo Graham, Drew Scheid, Peter Giles, Blake Burt and Dana Wing Lau. Production is underway in New Orleans.

Executive producers are Jason Blum, Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold for Blumhouse,...

The final episode of Mare of Easttown limited series drew four million viewers over the holiday weekend across HBO and HBO Max, with nearly three million viewers Sunday night (all platforms), marking a series high for both linear and digital, according to HBO. The finale also set the record as the most watched episode of an Original Series on HBO Max during its first 24 hours of availability, besting the finales of recent hits The Undoing and The Flight Attendant over the same period of time.

Mare of Easttown also joins The Undoing as the only series in HBO’s history to see consecutive growth week-to-week. Viewership still is expected to grow further via additional telecasts and digital viewing.

Created by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Craig Zobel, the seven-part Easttown stars Kate Winslet as Mare Sheehan, a small-town Pennsylvania detective who investigates a local murder as life crumbles around her.

Spoiler Alert: The following story contains details from the series finale of NCIS: New Orleans.

On Monday, NCIS: New Orleans came to the end of its seventh and final season, going out on a celebratory note.

The series finale, titled “Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler,” picks up with Pride (Scott Bakula) on the eve of his wedding to Rita (his real-life wife Chelsea Field), as he continues to dig into an attack on his half brother Jimmy (Jason Alan Carvell) and Connor (Drew Scheid), the son he’s only recently come to know.

Initially, it seems like the attack came from one of his mother Sasha’s (Callie Thorne) many enemies. It ultimately comes out, though, that Sasha had the attack staged, so that she could take Connor into Witness Protection, without Pride intervening. While it looks for a moment like Connor is going to skip town with his mother,...

The series premiere of the Kate Winslet-starring limited series Mare of Easttown drew 1 million viewers on Sunday across HBO and HBO Max, with the premium network saying it marked the second-best for a series debut on HBO Max behind last week’s strong numbers for The Nevers.

The Nevers, the Victorian science fiction drama series created and executive produced by Joss Whedon, drew just over 1.4 million viewers across linear telecasts and digital April 12.

Mare Of Easttown‘s start matched the premiere-night performances of HBO hits Succession and Euphoria in the 10 p.m. Sunday time slot, according to HBO on Monday.

The seven-part series is created by Brad Ingelsby (“The Way Back”), who returned to his home state of Pennsylvania to write the series, and all episodes were directed by Craig Zobel.

“Mare of Easttown” also stars Julianne Nicholson (“The Outsider”) as Lori Ross, Mare’s best friend since childhood; Jean Smart (HBO’s “Watchmen”) as Helen, Mare‘s mother; Angourie Rice (“Black Mirror”) as Siobhan Sheehan, Mare...

The limited series — created, written and executive produced by showrunner Brad Inglesby — features Winslet in the role of Mare Sheehan, a detective from Pennsylvania. The plot centers around her attempt to solve a local murder while also balancing her own personal life, which is rapidly falling apart around her.

With a filmography that ranges from indie dramas like George Washington and Joe to comedies like Pineapple Express and Your Highness, the career of David Gordon Green didn’t exactly hold much precedent for the slasher movie territory he ventured into with Halloween. But over the course of 15 years and multiple projects, the director claims to have kept one death scene in mind should the opportunity ever arise to give the horror genre a try.

In a bonus featurette from the film’s upcoming home release, Green reveals that his personal favorite death scene was the sad demise of Oscar (Drew Scheid), with the director recalling in a newly released clip how he’d envisioned this death by impalement on an iron fence long before he started work on Halloween:

“I’ve thought for over a decade that if I ever made a horror movie, I would have to include that moment.

There’s something downright magical when the fusion of music and images results in perfect, cinematic alchemy. In a year full of actual movie musicals and some great original scores, here are ten of the most exciting movie music moments of 2018.

“Shallow” from “A Star is Born”

It’s almost passé to talk about this song now, which first took pop culture by storm back when the trailer dropped and has been endlessly referenced, memed, and karaoked across the land. But that’s because of the tune’s catchiness and the giddy rollercoaster of emotions we feel with Ally (Lady Gaga) as Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) reveals that he was listening intently enough to her half-baked song idea the night before to write a new arrangement for his band, then pull her out in front of a crowd of thousands — the slow uphill climb of her nervous tension, and finally...

Stars: Wendi McLendon-Covey, Madison Iseman, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Caleel Harris, Ken Jeong, Chris Parnell, Bryce Cass, Peyton Wich, Shari Headley, Christian Finlayson, Matthew J. Vasquez, Courtney Lauren Cummings, Jessi Goei, Drew Scheid, Tyler Silva | Written by Rob Lieber | Directed by Ari Sandel

Teenager Sarah Quinn (Madison Iseman) lives with her mother Kathy (Wendi McLendon-Covey) and younger brother Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor) in Wardenclyffe, New York. Sarah is attempting to get into Columbia University by writing an essay about fear. Kathy agrees to watch Sonny’s friend Sam Carter (Caleel Harris) while his father goes out of town. Sonny and Sam are attempting to start a garbage cleanup business, and are called after school to clean up an abandoned house. Inside, they find a locked manuscript and open it, causing Slappy the Dummy to appear. They unknowingly bring him to life by speaking magic words found in his pocket. The book...

Horror sequels generally are not great, and that’s being charitable. Usually, they outright suck. So, it’s an absolute delight to see that David Gordon Green has defied the odds. Along with Danny McBride, Green has managed to honor the Halloween franchise, while also giving it a new spin. When Halloween hits theaters this week, it won’t just be another big hit for Jason Blum and Blumhouse, it’ll mark a rare cinematic achievement. Halloween, due in large part to Green and McBride, is one of the best horror sequels of all time. The competition may not be fierce, but it’s still high praise. This new version stands tall alongside the original, and that’s really saying something. Set four decades after the events of the original Halloween, this follow up erases all of the sequels that came before it, which is an excellent call. Here, Michael Myers is locked up,...

If you cherish Dr. Loomis' quote about Michael Myers having "the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes," then you'll find a lot to enjoy in the New York Comic Con exclusive Halloween poster created by legendary artist (and director of Blumhouse's upcoming Spawn movie), Todd McFarlane.

"Michael Myers is the embodiment of pure evil."

Laurie won't be the only Strode going up against The Shape, though, as Judy Greer and Andi Matichak also co-star in the film as Laurie's daughter and granddaughter, respectively.

Does it feel like fall is creeping up on you with a butcher knife in hand? You're not alone. An iconic manifestation of autumn, Michael Myers stands imposingly tall with his favorite kitchen accessory at the ready in a new Halloween movie image unveiled by Entertainment Weekly.

In addition to sharing the new image, EW caught up with the film's star, Jamie Lee Curtis, who talked about her fondness for how this movie's screenplay directly links back to the first film in the franchise (and not the sequels):

“What I loved is that it surgically excises all of that dead tissue. This is growing from just that original movie, 40 years later. There may be people who love the other movies, great — [they have] zero relevance to this story.”

Universal has finally released the first images from ‘Halloween’, and they look extremely promising. Although we won’t see the first trailer for the film until later this week, these new images (via USA Today) tease Michael, Laurie, and a potential confrontation between the two. In case you are unaware the film treads the line between sequel and reboot, ignoring most of the franchise except for the original film. Taking Place 40 years later, the film follows Laurie, her daughter and granddaughter as Michael terrorizes Haddenfield on Halloween night once again.

The images themselves seem to capture the look and style of the original which is great it terms of continuity, it remains to be seen how the tone of the trailer will stack up. We get good looks at both characters, but I’m really loving the weathered look of Michael’s mask this time around. It has a gritty feel,...

On Friday, we'll see the first trailer released for the new Halloween. Until then, USA Today has shared the first photos that give us a better look at Michael Myers and Laurie Strode in the new movie.

In Halloween, which is expected to be a sequel to John Carpenter's 1978 masterpiece, Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie for one final showdown with Michael Myers, and she won't be the only Strode going up against The Shape, as Judy Greer and Andi Matichak will play Laurie's daughter and granddaughter, respectively.

Exactly six months from today will be the night he returned to theaters, and to mark the occasion, the first official poster for the new Halloween movie has been unveiled.

Featuring a close-up shot of Michael Myers' mask, the new poster was posted on the Halloween movie's official Facebook page and can be viewed below. This version of Myers' white mask is wrinkled and worn, perhaps reflecting the decades that have passed since the late ’70s evening of John Carpenter's Halloween. The close-up also offers a look at Myers' eyes lurking in the shadows beneath the mask, adding another layer of scares and a peek at the man behind the horrors of Haddonfield.

Nearly 40 years after the release of the first Halloween movie, filming on the next chapter in the horror franchise is now underway in South Carolina, and to celebrate, Jamie Lee Curtis has shared an official photo of herself as Laurie Strode.

Shared on Jamie Lee Curtis' Twitter page, the photo (see below) shows Curtis once again playing Laurie Strode (her fifth movie playing the role) and director David Gordon Green with the slate from the original Halloween film. The photo comes with the caption:

"First shot! First day. Same slate. Same Laurie. David Gordon Green directing from his script. Happy Halloween 2018 everyone. See you 10/19/18 @halloweenmovie #HalloweenMovie"

Curtis returns as Laurie for one final showdown with Michael Myers, and she won't be the only Strode going up against The Shape, as Judy Greer and Andi Matichak will play Laurie's daughter and granddaughter, respectively.

Filming is now underway on the next chapter in the Halloween movie franchise, and with the film featuring the final showdown between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, Jamie Lee Curtis shared a photo from the set that proves Laurie won't be afraid to unleash some firepower on The Shape when he comes for her family again.

Shared on Jamie Lee Curtis' Twitter page, the photo (see below) from the set of the Halloween movie, which is being filmed in South Carolina. The photo shows a shooting gallery target with a hole made by a shot presumably fired from a .357 Magnum. The photo comes with the caption, "First shot. 357. Feels good to have Laurie back on set for @halloweenmovie #Halloweenmovie."

It was recently reported by The Tracking Board that Will Patton will play a police officer in the new Halloween movie, with the official Halloween franchise website revealing that Ginny Gardner,...

With production now underway on the new Halloween movie, Will Patton has joined the cast to play a police officer character who will likely have his hands full with Michael Myers once again on the loose.

The latest Halloween casting news (fittingly revealed on John Carpenter's 70th birthday) comes from The Tracking Board, who report that Patton will play a cop, although further details on his character are unknown. Patton, who has accrued an impressive list of credits in over four decades of acting, is no stranger to playing law enforcement characters, having recently portrayed Sheriff Daniel Platt on the series Shots Fired (see above photo).

As previously announced on the official Halloween franchise website, Ginny Gardner, Miles Robbins, Dylan Arnold, and Drew Scheid have joined the cast of the new Halloween movie to play the friends of Allyson (Andi Matichak).

Allyson is presumably the daughter of Karen Strode...

Director David Gordon Green and writer Danny McBride have officially started shooting their Halloween reboot. Above you'll see a cool graphic being used for the production. Judging from what has been said about this movie since it was first announced, it sounds like we actually might get a great sequel to John Carpenter's original 1978 film.

The movie is said to be a sequel to the very first Halloween movie. It will ignore every sequel that has been made and after 40 years, Michael Meyers will return to finish what he started.

Jamie Lee Curtis returns to reprise her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who is said to come to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. Judy Greer plays Karen Strode, the daughter of Curtis’ character, and Andi Matichak (Orange Is the New Black,...

Though David Gordon Green’s Halloween sequel recently encountered an unexpected setback (spoilers: filming was delayed from October to this month), there’s still a tremendous amount of excitement echoing around the horror community for what is, essentially, Laurie Strode’s final run-in with the masked Michael Myers.

For one, it’ll ignore all other sequels in the Halloween timeline in honor of John Carpenter’s original classic, which is very much considered to be the jumping-off point, creatively speaking. Not only that, but we’ve also been told that we should be very, very scared about the story that Green and Danny McBride have rustled up. Why? Well, it’s hard to say without having seen any footage, but with production now underway, we should start learning more soon.

Speaking of which, to mark the start of shooting, Blumhouse Productions shared the first set photo this week, which you...

Laurie Strode and Michael Myers may be having one final showdown this fall, but The Shape now has even more potential victims to hunt down in the new Halloween movie, which just began filming in South Carolina.

According to the official Halloween franchise website, Ginny Gardner, Miles Robbins, Dylan Arnold, and Drew Scheid have joined the cast of the new Halloween movie to play the friends of Allyson (Andi Matichak), who is presumably the granddaughter of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and the daughter of Karen Strode (Judy Greer).

To view photos of the new cast members, visit HalloweenMovies.com, and check out a Halloween logo (not confirmed to be the final one for the new movie) from the film set below, courtesy of Blumhouse's Instagram account.

In other casting news, Bloody Disgusting recently reported that filmmaker and actor Nick Castle, who played the masked version of Michael Myers in John Carpenter's Halloween,...

Though it’s still a ways away, casting on Blumhouse’s Halloween sequel is beginning to heat up.

Last month, for instance, we learned that Andi Matichak had clinched the role of Laurie Strode’s granddaughter, Allyson. That casting coup paves the way for a multi-generational story – a first for the Halloween series – given Jamie Lee Curtis and Judy Greer are primed to play Laurie and Karen Strode, respectively.

It’s shaping up to be a family reunion, then, but of course, there’s also the supporting cast to consider.
