Initially scanning as a “Best in Show”-esque mockumentary send-up of megachurch culture in the time of #MeToo, Adamma Ebo’s feature directorial debut “Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul” steadily moves into darker territory, though all of it is in service to biting back at a target-rich environment ripe for onscreen ripping. Featuring stars Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown doing predictably divine work (do these two performers know any other way?...

“Invincible” revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson/Invincible (voiced by Steven Yeun of “Minari” and Kirkman’s “Walking Dead” series), who struggles with his dual identity and battling his superhero father, Nolan/Omni-Man (voiced by J.K. Simmons), who’s basically a sleeper agent from the planet Viltrum bent on controlling Earth. It’s very much a subversive “Superman” riff for Kirkman. “It’s not only an inspiration but the idea of Superman and Kryptonians having ill-intent toward the Earth is possibly a more modern take on that kind of story,” he added....

Corden stars in “The Prom” as Barry Glickman, a Broadway veteran who gets the worst reviews of his career thanks to a failed star turn opposite co-star Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep). Desperate for a heavy dose of good publicity, the two performers decide to head to Indiana and help a lesbian teenager fight her high school after her sexual orientation bans her from the senior prom. Below, IndieWire news editor Zack Sharf and associate editor Jude Dry get to the bottom of the outrage over James Corden in “The Prom” and whether or not the late night host deserves the backlash....

The “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” singer, pianist, and songwriter passed away in Mississippi. “Judith, his seventh wife, was by his side when he passed away at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, south of Memphis,” Lewis’ representative Zach Farnum said in a statement shared with press. “He told her, in his final days, that he welcomed the hereafter, and that he was not afraid.” Known as “The Killer” for the way Lewis would knock out audiences with his raw talent, the crooner skyrocketed to fame in 1957 after “Great Balls of Fire” debuted with the film “Jamboree....

Chastain appears in one brief scene, speaking to children at the prestigious Kew-Forest School in New York City. She gives a speech steeped in conservative rhetoric, lecturing the wealthy students on the value of hard work and ambition. She is accompanied by Fred Trump, Donald’s father, who reappears at the end of the film. The scene was inspired by a real speech that Maryanne Trump gave at the school when Gray was a student there....

The rollout is led by four high-profile studio films: Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Joker: Folie à Deux,” MGM’s “The Thomas Crown Affair” remake starring Michael B. Jordan, Netflix’s “Rebel Moon Part 2,” and another untitled project from Netflix. The state is also awarding tax breaks to 14 independent films, including a currently untitled project from Sofia Coppola. “No other city has more resources than L.A. when it comes to our industry,” said Todd Phillips, who is returning to direct the highly anticipated “Joker” sequel....

Which isn’t to spoil whether Vienna really is an N.S.A. agent who’s been sent back to pre-COVID Los Angeles from the year 2052 in order to make a few minor adjustments, or if she’s just some delusional stranger whom our handsome protagonist meet-cutes at a mid-afternoon screening of “Being There” (which, even compared to the rest of L.A., seems like a reliable place to find delusional strangers). It’s only to say that that the truth of the matter becomes kind of moot once she instills Bart with a new faith in what tomorrow might hold....
