Eva Birthistle, Nathalie Press, Emily Holmes and Jodhi May have joined the cast of Peter Greenaway’s Rembrandt biopic Nightwatching which sets out to shed new light on the painter’s life through a fresh reading of his 1642 painting “Night Watch”, according to Variety. Martin Freeman, star of the BBC’s hit TV show The Office, will topline as the Dutch master. Birthistle (Breakfast on Pluto) will play Rembrandt’s wife with May (On a Clear Day) and Holmes (Snakes on a Plane) playing the painter’s mistresses....

2008’s Cloverfield was a cultural reset for horror films. A frantic found-footage flick following a group of friends whose farewell party is crashed by a Godzilla-esque monster rampaging through New York City, Cloverfield became an instant hit with audiences—at least those without motion sickness. With the film’s rampant success (and several spin-offs), it’s hard to believe that behind the scenes, Cloverfield’s creation was just as chaotic as the movie itself....

Avengers: Infinity War showed us how powerful Thanos was in comparison to the Avengers. The power difference between the Mad Titan and nearly every single hero in the MCU seemed seismic and insurmountable. The Hulk got beaten to a pulp when attempting to engage the Mad Titan one-on-one (without the power of the Infinity Stones). The combined might of Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and the Guardians could not stop Thanos on his quest to “balance the universe....

Director Mike White has left the Lionsgate adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies just a few months after signing onto direct the dramatic thriller. We reported in November that White had landed the gig after David O. Russell left the project in October. White left the project because of a pre-existing commitment he made to HBO, and scheduling couldn’t be worked out for him to direct this adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel....

Moon Knight creator and head writer Jeremy Slater has revealed that a “big action sequence” involving the Eternals was scrapped from the show. Moon Knight recently concluded on Disney+ with a satisfying and action-packed finale that wrapped up the central storyline but also teased more conflict between the titular superhero’s various personalities. The show stars Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector, a mercenary suffering from dissociative identity disorder who becomes the avatar of the Egyptian Moon God Khonshu and gains supernatural abilities as the superhero Moon Knight....

Director Mark Waters has nabbed female lead Carla Gugino for his upcoming adaptation of the popular children’s’ novel Mr. Popper’s Penguins. According to Variety, she will be starring opposite Jim Carrey in this live action-CG animated mix for 20th Century Fox. The screenplay by Sean Anders, John Morris, and Jared Stern will be a modern day update of Richard and Florence Atwater’s classic tale, which features Jim Carrey as Mr. Popper, a New York business associate who inherits six mischievous penguins....

Emily in Paris begins with the ultimate move from Chicago to Paris by Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) to start the Netflix series. Now, as the show heads into its third season, Cooper finds herself facing the most difficult decisions of her life.

Besides that, Emily is dealing with relationship drama now that Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Camille (Camille Razat) have reconciled and moved into the apartment beneath hers....

Spider-Man: No Way Home featured an unexpected cameo from Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, better known as Daredevil in the Netflix series. Thanks to that appearance, the now-canceled series has been gaining a whole new audience on the streaming platform and managed to break into Nielsen’s Top 10 U.S. streaming chart of original series for the week following the new MCU’s release in cinemas. During the week beginning December 20th, the 39 episodes of the series pulled in 195 million minutes between them, and the new surge in popularity didn’t go unnoticed by those involved in the show....

The Punisher is the next show between the Marvel and Netflix partnership and it is set to make its debut this fall on the streaming service....

Having come under quite a bit of criticism of its “binge-culture” release model, many subscribers have wondered whether some of the streamer’s biggest assets will be moving to a weekly release similar to that of Disney+ and their Marvel and Star Wars shows. Although this could happen in some cases, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things will most likely not adopt such a change and will still play as a horror-filled binge-fest for fans, according to Netflix’s U....

Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are the latest voice talents announced for the hotly anticipated Apple Original animated feature, Spellbound. As the tech giant continues to establish its new media empire, Spellbound will offer a riff on the traditional Disney formula, modernized for contemporary audiences. Apple is clearly throwing a lot of weight behind the film, with the intention perhaps to launch the brand into the lucrative family film market. Kidman and Bardem will join a star-studded supporting cast that includes Nathan Lane, John Lithgow, and Andre De Shields....

Tussling with the undead in character as Daryl Dixon got a little too physical for Norman Reedus. As of now, the cast and crew of the hit AMC zombie drama The Walking Dead are working on the show’s finale episode, capping off the eleventh and final season of the long-running show. The announcement was made by Duane Charles Manwiller, the show’s director of photography, with a post from the set on Instagram....

Jeremy Renner has been seen in such films as S.W.A.T., 28 Days Later and Twelve and Holding. Now, Renner is starring in The Hurt Locker, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. We caught up with Renner at New York Comic-Con 2009, and Jeremy talked to us about the film, his role in the movie, and why he keeps ending up wearing uniforms in his performances. When a new sergeant, James (Jeremy Renner), takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Eldridge (Brian Geraghty) by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat....

Though it already has almost every prominent acting name you can think of attached, director Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer continues to round out its supporting cast, adding Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star Jason Clarke and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star Louise Lombard to the upcoming biopic. Coming courtesy of Deadline, the details of Clarke and Lombard’s roles in Oppenheimer are currently unknown, but they will join Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy who leads the project as J....

There are some movie monsters that can be played by anyone, but there are some that are so iconic for allowing their own face to become the monster that fans have a hard time allowing the fictional character to live on beyond the original actor. Along with the combination of Robert Englund and Freddy Krueger, Hellraiser’s Doug Bradley and Clive Barker’s creation Pinhead is a character that has tried and failed to replace its leading man....

Based on last year’s hit original movie Re-Animated, Cartoon Network’s latest live-action series Out of Jimmy’s Head continues the crazy adventures of Jimmy Roberts and his animated world with Golly and the gang. Dominic Janes (Alex Taggart on ER, Wild Hogs) returns as 12-year-old Jimmy Roberts, who while visiting the famous Gollyworld Park, has an accident with the park trolley that requires an emergency brain transplant. Gollyworld doctors give him the frozen brain of the famous cartoonist Milt Appleday, which enables Jimmy to see a whole world of cartoon characters who turn his life upside down wherever he goes....

“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” is not a conclusion to the blockbuster trilogy, but a clever set-up for future swashbuckling adventures. Vastly superior to last year’s lousy “Dead Man’s Chest”, Pirates 3 is thematically one of the darkest films to be released under the Disney banner. It has its lighthearted moments and is loaded with action, but takes the story to a more mature level that will either win over fans or lose them completely....

Netflix has released a brand new trailer for Queer Eye season 4. The streaming service actually, in part, got their start in the original programming game by reviving Arrested Development and they’ve since buttered a good amount of their bread by bringing back beloved shows. But their revamp of Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has been amongst their most beloved and successful revivals to date. The Fab Five are continuing their helpful ways, but with a personal touch this time around....
