Why A Black Superman Will Require A Fresh Take On The Character

While there’s a lot of fun to be had with casting ideas (Yahya Abdul-Matteen II? Trevante Rhodes? Kofi Siriboe?), this early stage of the project invites a bigger question: What purpose does a Black Superman serve? The truth is that he could not come at a better moment — but only if the character’s modern potential is served. When Ryan Coogler brought the world of Wakanda to life in the record-breaking “Black Panther,” the character became a cultural phenomenon less for its superhero antics than for the way it examined the nuances of Black culture and explored the scope of the African diaspora....

Why Lady Gaga Gets Into The Best Actress Oscar Race Not For Last Time

Lady Gaga has transferred her canny pop-star aura to movies and delivered on the publicity trail with a non-stop barrage of breathy interviews revealing her degree of commitment to her craft. No one has ever tried harder. She suffered so much “anxiety, fatigue, and trauma,” throwing up before going to the set, enduring hours in hair and makeup, that she needed a psychiatric nurse on call, she said, even if she never saw fit to meet her real-life subject, Gucci family murderer Patrizia Reggiani, who served 18 years for ordering a hit on her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver)....

Why Sydney Sweeney Cut Some Nude Scenes In Euphoria

“Euphoria” breakout star Sydney Sweeney, who has become a darling of casting directors thanks to roles in HBO’s “Sharp Objects” and “The White Lotus,” opened up about feeling dismissed and overly-sexualized for her recurring nude scenes in the teen-centric drama. “This is something that has bothered me for a while,” Sweeney told The Independent (via E! Online). “I’m very proud of my work in ‘Euphoria.’ I thought it was a great performance....

Wonder Woman 1984 Strategy Is A Kick In The Teeth To Exhibitors

Desperate theater owners were already resigned to the idea that a Christmas date was unlikely, or braced themselves for home availability within a month on either Warners’ HBO Max or Premium VOD. But day-and-date in theaters and on HBO Max?! It’s unprecedented, and tells everyone that at least two of the three dominant studios do not prioritize the theatrical release. Of course, this decision directly related to our current and extraordinary circumstances....

Woody Allen Addresses Sexual Abuse Allegations On Cbs Sunday Morning

“There was no logic to it, on the face of it. Why would a guy who’s 57 years old and never was accused of anything in my life, I’m suddenly gonna drive up in the middle of a contentious custody fight at Mia’s country home? On the surface, I didn’t think it required any investigation,” said Allen, articulating the point he similarly made in his memoir “Apropos of Nothing,” published last year....

Yellow Cat Trailer Venice Film Festival S Kazakh Horizons Film

It’s no coincidence that the music in the trailer sounds a lot like Carl Orff’s “Gassenhauer,” the theme for Terrence Malick’s debut “Badlands.” Like that film, “Yellow Cat” follows lovers on the lam, running from a criminal background but still entangled in all sorts of misadventures. The story centers on ex-con Kermek (Azamat Nigmanov) and his beloved Eva (Kamila Nugmanova), who want to give up their crime-ridden lives in the steppes of Kazakhstan....
