Many studios choose to unveil big new trailers during the Super Bowl, but Warner Bros. Discovery will reveal the latest look at one of their most anticipated movies of the year during the Puppy Bowl instead. THR reports that a special sneak preview of Superman will debut during the Puppy Bowl, with James Gunn set to appear with his dog Ozu, who was the inspiration for Krypto. The Superman director will also deliver a “special message” to viewers.

The Puppy Bowl will air on February 9th. The event features a number of puppies playing with balls and toys in their own little stadium as it raises adoption awareness. “Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl serves as an annual pop culture programming event that continues to expand in reach, awareness and of course, puppies, every year,” said Howard Lee, chief creative officer of U.S. networks and president of Discovery Networks. “Win or lose,...

The holidays may be over, but awards season is in full swing.

With the drunkest of Hollywood awards shows already in the books, we can now look forward to the Grammys, the Producers Guild of America Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards, and of course, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, which is still the only voting body brave enough to slime its presenters. A lot more people would tune into the BAFTAs if there was a chance that, say, Sir Ian McKellen might get doused with rancid Ecto Cooler.

But “Hollywood’s Biggest Night” is obviously the Academy Awards. While we’re still a little more than a week away from finding out which films will be nominated for Oscars this year, we do know who will be hosting the ceremony: former late-night host/current guy who rubbed hot sauce on his nipples for YouTube clicks Conan O’Brien.

Even though he...

The nominations won’t be announced till January 9, but the Art Directors Guild has found a host for its 29th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards. Actress Rachael Harris will command the stage for the February 15 ceremony at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.

“I am honored to host the Adg Awards this year,” Harris said in a statement. “Production designers and their teams are the unsung heroes of film and television, creating the worlds we inhabit on screen. Their artistry and craftsmanship inspire me and I’m delighted to celebrate their incredible work.”

Harris most recently starred in Season 1 of Disney+’s “Goosebumps,” but you’ve seen her in everything from “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” to “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Modern Family,” “Suits,” “Happy Endings,” and as a series regular on “Lucifer.” Harris’ film credits include “The Hangover,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” trilogy, “Best in Show,” and “Natural Selection.

The films of Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos aren't for everyone. They're aggressively uncomfortable, poking and prodding the audience with all manner of shocking content and even more shocking ways of presenting it, but there is a lot to love in his deliciously disturbing filmography. Whether he's working from a screenplay he developed with frequent collaborator Efthimis Filippou or one written by "The Great" creator Tony McNamara, Lanthimos manages to inject his films with his unique vision, using characters that seem totally inhuman to force the audience to contemplate their own humanity. This can lead to his films being a little confusing, and that includes his 2017 thriller "The Killing of a Sacred Deer." 

"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" stars Colin Farrell as heart surgeon Steven Murphy, who develops a bizarre relationship with 16-year-old Martin Lang (Barry Keoghan), whose father died on Steven's operating table. Martin begins to insert himself into the Murphy family,...

“So I did Maleficent, where I played Sleeping Beauty, and I did two of those movies, which I loved and am so happy I did, but what comes with that too is how people perceive you.

Welcome to Career Watch, a vocational checkup of top actors and directors and those who hope to get there. In this edition, we take on Nicholas Hoult, who’s doing what he’s always done: owning character roles in film, theater, and television.

Bottom Line: Hoult has an enigmatic persona that fits just about any role. The camera is drawn to his deep blue eyes, and you can count on Hoult to deliver a character’s emotional spine. (He’s not one to go overboard.) That’s why this grown-up child actor never falls out of favor. He can handle anything: Marvel superheroics, Nic Cage flicks (“The Weatherman” and “Renfield”), movies starring Toni Colette (“About a Boy” and “Juror #2”), action thrillers, and comedic bodice-rippers.

Nicholas Hoult revealed what item from the Nosferatu set he has at home — but he didn’t take it himself.

The actor sat down with co-star Lily-Rose Depp for an interview with Elle, where the onscreen husband and wife asked each other prewritten questions. When she asked what is a prop or wardrobe piece he has taken from a set, he explained that a recent one was actually a gift from Nosferatu director Robert Eggers.

“I have Court Orlok’s prosthetic penis framed at home,” he told Depp. “There’s a scene where Bill Skarsgard is slurping my blood, and Robert Eggers asked afterward, ‘How was that for you?’ And I said, ‘I could feel his prosthetic penis on my leg.’ And then, as a wrap gift, Rob got it framed, and he sent it to my house.”

‘Technically, I did my first film when I was two,” says Elle Fanning, which, at 26, makes her a youthful old-timer, already more than two decades into a hugely successful acting career. The cliché of the child star is that they will, inevitably, go off the rails at some point, unable to cope with a demanding adult-oriented entertainment business that places its leading lights on a distant and unreachable pedestal, leaving them with no concept of real life and no solid framework to prop them up. But there are other, less headline-worthy outcomes for performers who have been at it for their whole lives.

The highly anticipated teaser trailer for James Gunn’s Superman was released yesterday, and judging by how much it’s been watched and dissected in the last 24 hours, the new Dcu is off to a good start. In fact, the teaser trailer broke a big record for Warner Bros. and DC as Gunn took to social media to announce that it has been viewed over 250 million times.

“Krypto really did take us home: With over 250 million views and a million social posts, Superman is officially the most viewed and the most talked about trailer in the history of both DC and Warner Bros,” Gunn wrote. “This is because of all of you: thank you! We’re incredibly grateful and, most of all, excited to share this movie with you in July. Happy Holidays!“

While the Superman trailer has gathered more views in 24 hours than almost any of the year’s...

“Superman” is heading to screens faster than a speeding bullet and it appears that there will be a lot of famous characters dropping in.

Kicking off DC’s revamped slate and directed by James Gunn, the film is set to hit screens in Summer 2025, and finally has a first look trailer. It follows Superman (David Corenswet) as he tries to balance his alien Kryptonian background with his human upbringing. Along with directing, Gunn also wrote the script, using characters originally created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

You can check out everyone who’s been confirmed to star in the new “Superman” below. We’ll keep this space updated as more stars sign on.

As fans wait with bated breath for the Superman trailer, which is due to drop online tomorrow, James Gunn is teasing a little bit about what influenced him during the making of this movie. A lot is riding on this first official entry in the Dcu as the movie will set the tone for the rebooted universe after Zack Snyder’s take with Man of Steel similarly kicked off the Dceu with a more divisive perception than Marvel Studios’ beginning. Deadline now reports on Gunn’s report from ComicBook.com.

The director explained, “I wrote up this big document on action and what our philosophy is of action and how we shoot it and what it is, and keeping it alive in the air, as well as on the ground. And to be able to shoot stuff in the sky as if we were shooting it … Because everything was rougher, like,...

Before 2018, Brian Cox had a pretty good life as a respected, much utilized, but not exactly famous veteran stage and film actor of six decades. And then Succession debuted, the HBO show in which Cox played the snarling, hilariously profane Rupert Murdoch-like Logan Roy, and suddenly, in his 70s, he couldn’t walk down the street without being recognized — often by a fan wielding a phone requesting a “fuck off” to share with friends and followers.

Cox was raised in, and in many ways by, the theater. Marooned in Scotland with his mentally fragile widowed mother, he escaped at 14 by sweeping floors in the Dundee Repertory Theatre and just six years later was performing the Bard’s words on the West End. By the mid-’90s, he’d earned his place in Hollywood as a reliable go-to for directors seeking a grizzled badass with Shakespearean gravitas.

Since Succession‘s end,...

Nicholas Hoult has truly outdone himself in 2024.

The English actor has received the best reviews of his nearly three-decade-long career for a trio of critically acclaimed films that were all timed to the final two months of the calendar year. To top it all off, he delivered a new take on Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s Superman (2025), one of the most anticipated and consequential releases in quite some time. A first look is expected to arrive next week.

Beginning with Nov. 1’s Juror #2, Hoult portrayed the title character in what many consider to be Clint Eastwood’s finest film in ages. The warm response from critics and audiences has also helped keep the drama in the year-end conversation after a surprisingly limited theatrical release and modest awards campaign.

The Empress is a German historical romantic drama series created by Katharina Eyssen. Based on the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, the Netflix series follows Elisabeth of Bavaria as she falls for and marries the Emperor Franz of Austria. This marriage pushes Elisabeth into the stressful life of an Empress. What started as a love story becomes so much more as time goes on, and the duties of the Emperor and Empress begin to create distance between Elisabeth and Franz. We see Elisabeth fall in love, deal with the consequences of being an Empress, and put Royal duties first to become a beloved Royal figure among her subjects. The Empress stars Devrim Lingnau, Philip Froissant, Melika Foroutan, Johannes Nussbaum, and Elisa Schlott. So, if you loved the royal intrigue, historical drama, and compelling characters in The Empress,...

The Harry Potter HBO series continues to shape up. The latest big-budget Harry Potter project has thousands of young actors looking to land the roles of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. 32,000, to be exact. The series’ production says it’s adhering to the “canonical” ages of specific characters. Still, others are likely to change, including the Dursleys, who will be younger in the show. Gardiner says the cast will experience a “bigger sandpit to play in” when her Harry Potter TV series begins.

Now, according to Deadline, the new adaptation has added the Academy Award-winning costume designer of Emma Stone’s Poor Things, Holly Waddington. Her work from that film would also earn her wins from the BAFTA and the Costume Designers Guild Awards. Prior to Poor Things, Waddington credits included the well-received Florence Pugh starrer Lady Macbeth back in 2016, for which she won a BIFA. Additionally, her credits as assistant...

Why do we watch horror movies? Well, I for one, do not! I’m way too scared, thank you very much. But why do others enjoy them? I’d guess brain damage but scientists claim it’s to experience true fear from a safe environment. Put more grandiosely: it’s a way to deal with our own mortality.

The horror genre is alive and well, but let me posit that true crime is our generation’s new horror. Everywhere you look, today’s audiences are grappling with their mortality through books, documentaries, podcasts, movies or television shows.

And it is that final arena, TV, in which I found myself embedded when I co-created The Sticky (along with Brian Donovan). Inspired by the true crime dubbed, “The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist” in which scofflaws from The Great White North absconded with almost $20 million (Cad) of the sweet stuff.

Exclusive: HBO has made a key hire for its anticipated Harry Potter series in the shape of costume designer Holly Waddington, who recently won an Oscar for her work on Emma Stone starrer Poor Things.

The hire has been confirmed to us by HBO, marking the first confirmed creative to join the series since it was announced over the summer with Francesca Gardiner as showrunner and Mark Mylod aboard to direct multiple episodes.

Waddington’s star is sky high after Poor Things, which earned her wins from the Academy, BAFTA and the Costume Designers Guild Awards. Her striking costumes for the film went on to be showcased in exhibitions held in London and Athens. She has now landed one of the plumb costume jobs in TV.

Beyond a couple of photos, we haven’t been able to see David Corenswet in action as Superman, but James Gunn is confident that the actor will blow us away. While chatting with THR about the upcoming Creature Commandos series, Gunn was asked about the Superman movie and was full of praise for his leading man.

“Superman is an enormous bear of a movie. It’s completely different from [Creature Commandos] in every way, but it’s very much fantastic as well,” Gunn said. “Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, David Corenswet is going to freak everyone out with how great he is. He is one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with, and he can do everything. The man is incredible.”

Remember when premature TV show cancellations were rare enough to inspire massive fan movements and force their home networks to bring them back? In the streaming era, the water cooler "monoculture" is no more, and streaming shows with plenty of fans seem to be canceled every single week. 2024 has seen the premature death of several notable titles, and some of them were canceled not long after they aired. "My Lady Jane," an Amazon Prime Video original, was among this season's casualties, and despite an outcry from fans, it doesn't seem to be coming back any time soon.

A historical romance with a fantastical twist, "My Lady Jane" is one of the weirder outings Prime Video has offered in recent years. As Erik Kain's Forbes review explains, the show "involves people known as Ethians who can change into animal forms and who are oppressed and outcast by the Verity, the...

The first season of the series premiered on Netflix on Sept. 29, 2022, so we know fans were waiting a long time for the next season!

The Empress season 2 just premiered on Netflix on Nov. 22, and it's already moving up the Netflix Top 10 in the United States. In some countries, The Empress season 2 is already the No. 1 show on Netflix.

It came out, indeed, and as alluded to by the Oscar-nominated actor, things didn't exactly go as planned. In the aftermath of Ridley Scott's Best Picture-winning "Gladiator," Stone finally had the opportunity to scrape together funding for his three-hour take on Alexander the Great. The timing seemed perfect. The cast was a murderer's row. The production had all of the resources in the world at its disposal. But by just about every measure,...

All eyes are on James Gunn’s Superman, which will set the tone for his DC film universe for years to come. The director and CEO of DC knew he had to dedicate time to post-production in order to make it look right, “If you do some research you’ll see my films have always taken a different approach and I’ve always given my VFX artist-collaborators time to do their jobs properly, and the respect they deserve.” He explains, “This is why we wrapped on Superman a year before release and why they’ve been hard at work on many shots for months before that.“

So, would this mean a teaser could be ready for release sometime soon? Perhaps in coordination with a couple of possible family holidays coming up? According to Collider, back in October, a fan asked Gunn on Threads if there would be a teaser or...

Before production had begun on the anticipated film adaptation of Enid Blyton‘s The Magic Faraway Tree, director Ben Gregor worried that he’d put one of his stars, Andrew Garfield, off a little bit.

“We wrote a song for the film and we sent it to Andrew early on,” Gregor explains to The Hollywood Reporter. “And I hadn’t worked with him yet and you don’t know… With actors sometimes, you can put them off.”

But Garfield loved it. The gesture ended up being instrumental in the atmosphere that Gregor later cultivated on set — one of true-heartedness, trust, and that crucial Blyton ingredient: magic. “Everybody was putting themselves out there,” Gregor says.

The project has grabbed headlines in recent months for releasing back-to-back smash hit casting announcements: first came Garfield and Claire Foy (The Crown), then came Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) and Jessica Gunning (Baby Reindeer), and...

In a sad turn of events, Kazuo Umezu, one of the biggest legends in the manga industry, passed away at the age of 88. Umezu was a famous name in the horror and macabre genres, and his work influenced many other manga creators, including Junji Ito, the creator of many prominent horror works like Uzumaki, Tomie, Gyo, etc.

Umezu is considered the “god of horror manga,” thanks to his major works like The Drifting Classroom, Cat Eyed Boy, Orochi, etc.

His death comes as a big shock to Junji Ito, who has been a fan of Umezu since he was a child. In fact, Umezu was the one who motivated Ito to take over the horror genre and create some of its greatest works.

Umezu’s family and close friends held a private funeral for the manga creator on the day of his death.

Netflix led the nominations for the Artios Awards, which were announced by the Casting Society (CSA) on Friday. Now in its 40th year, the awards honor achievements of casting professionals across 22 categories, mainly devoted to TV and streaming.

“Ripley,” “Baby Reindeer” and “The Crown” were among Netflix’s 17 nominations, more than doubling its haul of eight nods in 2023. The streamer’s 2024 total is nearly triple the number of second place finisher HBO/Max (with 6 nominations). Prime Video, Apple TV+ and FX each received 5.

Two new categories – Casting for International Film and Casting for International Television Series – were also announced this year. Additionally, the Atrios Awards honor casting for theater, both Broadway and regional plays and musicals. The organization’s nominees for feature films will be announced in January.

Indiana Jones is known for his iconic whip, rugged adventures, and encounters with everything from ancient traps to Nazis.

Unlike the brutal treatment of dogs in the studio’s previous Wolfenstein series, The Great Circle takes a gentler approach. Creative Director Jens Andersson shared that the game, set to release in December, takes a family-friendly approach and stays true to Indy’s character as a “dog person.”

Indiana Jones Will Make His Grand, Family Friendly Return In December

MachineGames’ previous titles like Wolfenstein are infamous for their intense violence, even involving genetically modified dogs that would sometimes explode. But there will be no such...

Clint Eastwood’s 40th directorial effort is a twisty courtroom drama-slash-thriller that finds a good man in an impossible situation – both in the sense of “How can he get out of this?” and “Well, that’s highly improbable.” Then the movie settles into a taut, understated good time with a strong lead performance … before stumbling confoundingly at the finish line.

“Juror #2” finds magazine journalist Justin (Nicholas Hoult) lovingly helping his wife (Zoey Deutch) through a delicate pregnancy when he’s called for jury duty. To put this in the least spoilery way possible, he shockingly discovers that, through an extremely unlikely set of circumstances, he’s intimately involved in a case that concerns a capital crime, with the defendant’s life in the balance. Coming forward, however, could have dire consequences for his family, so this ordinary guy has to find another answer from within the workings of the trial itself,...

Singer and TV and radio personality Emma Bunton has signed with WME for representation in all areas.

Perhaps best known for her tenure as Baby Spice, Bunton and her fellow Spice Girls dominated pop culture in the ’90s with a string of chart-topping singles and the kind of ubiquity rarely achieved in music. During the two decades in which the girl group has stayed largely dormant, she’s forged a career as a TV and radio host.

Most recently, Bunton has served as host of British radio program Feel Good Weekend on Heart FM. (That gig recently afforded her a viral moment, when she surprised noted Spice Girls enthusiast Blake Lively in studio.)

On TV, Bunton has served as a judge on Dancing on Ice and Boy Band and served as a mentor on The X Factor in her native U.K. In the U.S., she co-hosted two seasons...

Amy Adams is on the promotional circuit for her new movie, where she thinks she’s a dog. You read that correctly. Nightbitch is a new comedy that initially gave off the impression that Amy Adams plays a mom who may be turning into a werewolf, but the movie actually doesn’t cross into the supernatural as some may expect. Our own Chris Bumbray says in his review, “While horror fans will be disappointed to learn this isn’t the quasi-Amy Adams werewolf movie we all wanted, Nightbitch is still a nice little flick that would make for a great night out at the theatre for new parents. Just expect a heavy conversation on the drive home.”
