When Gareth Edwards directed his first movie, the 2010 indie “Monsters,” it could scarcely have been a more DIY endeavor. He had less than $500,000 to tell an intimate story about two Americans contending with giant aliens rampaging through Mexico, so his crew consisted of just his actors (Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able), a sound tech, a line producer, a translator and a driver. Edwards operated the camera, grabbing footage guerrilla style whenever they came upon a compelling location while traveling through Central America. Then the young director created all 250 visual effects shots for the film himself, alone in his flat.
Thirteen years later, Edwards’ latest film, “The Creator,” is in so many ways the opposite of “Monsters.” The budget is $80 million. 20th Century Studios is distributing it worldwide. (New Regency and Entertainment One co-financed.) Dozens of actors — including John David Washington, Allison Janney and Ken Watanabe — filmed across Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam,...

(Welcome to Did They Get It Right?, a series where we look at an Oscars category from yesteryear and examine whether the Academy's winner stands the test of time.)
We all have Oscar wins that we love, where the Academy decides to step out of line with convention and give it to someone doing truly exceptional work. Olivia Colman taking home Best Actress for "The Favourite" is a recent example I still cannot believe happened. We also have the awards we despise, where we cannot even fathom how the stars aligned to push something we consider to be truly terrible to the winners' circle, like "Crash" winning Best Picture.
Far more common are the awards given out where we understand how and why they won but vehemently disagree with the selection. Just from this past year, I'd put Brendan Fraser winning for "The Whale" and Jamie Lee Curtis winning for...

The Tribeca Festival, which gets under way Wednesday in New York, has announced members of the jury who will decide winners in 15 award categories.
The jury roster of several dozen includes Brendan Fraser, Stephanie Hsu, Zoey Deutch, Dianna Agron, Zazie Beetz, Kate Siegel, Mark Duplass, Stephen Kay, Nina Dobrev, Clea DuVall, Piper Perabo, Chance the Rapper, Noah Centineo, Jeremy O. Harris, Andrew Ahn and Chloe Grace Moretz. Along with the competitive categories, the Nora Ephron Award will be presented in the memory of the filmmaker and writer.
While the festival removed the word “film” from its name several years ago to reflect its broad range of offerings in games, podcasts, music and other areas, the film slate has continued as an identifying aspect of the event. This year’s U.S. narrative feature jury includes Hsu, Ramin Bahrani, Zoey Deutch, Mike Flanagan and Tommy Oliver; the international feature jury includes Fraser,...

1992's "School Ties" didn't do very well at the box office, but it managed to launch the careers of a whole bunch of major Hollywood stars, including Brendan Fraser, Chris O'Donnell, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Anthony Rapp, and more. I'll never forget watching TV after school one day in the late afternoon and catching "School Ties" on cable, shocked that I had never heard of this movie before. Not only is it a heartbreaking and potent film about anti-Semitism that's unfortunately still all-too-relevant, but it's also a who's-who of then-unknowns who went on to become major players.
In a 2017 retrospective for Entertainment Weekly, the cast and crew of "School Ties" looked back on how the movie came to be and how it impacted many of the actors' careers. Producer Stanley Jaffe had the idea for the film and had a hand in casting the class of unknowns, making him at...

The Ten Commandments is one of those iconic movies that just about everyone has seen and many have made watching the epic film on TV a spring tradition every year. There have been other versions made over the years but none are anywhere near as popular as Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 classic.
Charlton Heston starred as Moses in The Ten Commandments but what some people don’t know is that wasn’t his only part in the movie or that his son was also in it.

DeMille chose Heston to play the part of Moses because the director believed he resembled Michelangelo’s statue of Moses in Rome, Italy. He also decided to cast Heston’s son in the movie before the child was even born.

All Quiet On The Western Front
War is hell in "All Quiet on the Western Front," the Oscar-winning Netflix adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's World War I novel. As an exercise in production, "All Quiet on the Western Front" is frequently staggering. The mud, blood, and overall chaos of life in the trenches is portrayed with stark, realistic horror.

More than eight months after Deadline first reported that Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” would debut at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, the prestigious fest’s organizers confirmed the news on Friday.
“The Festival de Cannes is delighted to welcome Martin Scorsese next May on the Croisette, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, Jillian Dion, Tantoo Cardinal, along with additional cast and members of the filmmaking team,” read a statement.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” will have its world premiere on May 20. (Pay no mind to the “next May” wording in the Cannes release; the movie is coming out this year via Apple and Paramount.)
Based on the best-selling true-crime book by David Grann, “Killers of the Flower moon” is “set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of...

Brendan Fraser is finally an Oscar winning actor, deservedly so for his performance in The Whale. The outpouring of love and recognition for Fraser in the last year has been heartwarming because he’s always been great, since his powerhouse debuts in 1992’s Encino Man and School Ties. His specialty, it would turn out, would be in acting opposite CGI visual effects.

From the late ‘90s to early ‘00s, Fraser appeared in several movies with co-stars who would be added in later with computers. It was already becoming a common practice after Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park, and hasn’t stopped with the Marvel movies. Nobody ever did it better than Fraser though, and these three roles are the proof.

1999’s The Mummy took inspiration from Indiana Jones for its swashbuckling desert adventure.

The Droughtlander is almost over!
Starz revealed the very date that our Summer on Fraser's Ridge will begin.
We've got your first look photos and even more news about what's ahead.
Starz announced today the June 16 return of its fan-favorite time-traveling drama series Outlander, confirming the upcoming seventh season will be split into two parts of eight episodes each, with the back half airing in 2024.
It was previously announced that the seventh season would be an extended 16 episodes.
What was not released previously is that Outlander Season 7 will be split, with the first eight episodes airing this summer, and the remaining eight episodes airing sometime in 2024.
Now, that's not great news, unless you look at it as an extension of the show's very life.
After all, the series will conclude after its eighth season, so we've got several more years to spend with Claire and Jamie and the rest of...

“Outlander” is giving fans a little more time before they have to say goodbye — and giving subscribers more of a reason to sign up for a full year instead of just a few months. Season 7 of the time-travel romance will air in two parts, Starz said on Wednesday, with the first half airing this year and the second half waiting for 2024.
Season 7, as previously announced, consists of 16 episodes, the show’s highest order count since Season 1. Like Season 1, which aired in 2014 and 2015, Season 7 will be split into two eight-episode bunches — the “Droughtlander” is officially over on June 16. “Outlander” has already been renewed for a final Season 8, which will consist of 10 episodes and presumably air in 2025 or later.
It is currently unclear if the show, based on Diana Gabaldon’s series of historical-fantasy romance novels, will completely adapt the entire saga. Each season of “Outlander” thus far has adapted (roughly) one...

After the 94th Academy Awards featured that infamous slap involving Will Smith and Chris Rock, all eyes were on the 2023 edition of the iconic awards show. Thankfully, the 95th Oscars largely delivered a satisfying show for fans and industry players alike. In fact, the show broke a ton of new ground in 2023, particularly with all four winners in the acting categories this year.
The 95th Academy Awards featured a historic group of nominees
Even before the first envelope was opened, the 2023 Oscars promised to be a historic one. Among the 20 people nominated in the acting categories, a record-breaking 16 first-time nominees made the cut, including all five nominees for Best Actor. The only exceptions were two-time winner Cate Blanchett (Tár) and past nominees Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans), Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), and Judd Hirsch (The Fabelmans).
Bassett became the first actor ever nominated for their performance in a film based on Marvel Comics.

Few comebacks have been so emotional, on every level, as Fraser’s in The Whale
When director Darren Aronofsky presented the idea of the film to you, were you daunted at all?
Yes. It was a risk, for sure. And in cinema and art, it’s important to go towards what’s dangerous, so you can grow and do something interesting.
What was the risk?
This is a story about a man who has been living alone, harming himself by over-eating, he has certain regrets for the choices he’s made in his life. And it all takes place inside a two-bedroom apartment somewhere in Idaho. Oh, and he weighs on paper around 600 pounds. So... that’s a lot to wrap your arms around...
