After starring in indie films and auteur dramas — as well as big-budget franchise installments like “X-Men: Apocalypse” and the “Star Wars” trilogy — Isaac was “desperate” to return to character studies. “Often on these big movies it can feel like you’re building the plane on the runway,” Isaac told Empire. “The idea of getting back to ‘handmade’ films, character studies…I was desperate for that feeling.” And then along came Disney+’s new Marvel collaboration, “Moon Knight....

The closest competitor with five noms was Jane Campion’s Netflix western, “The Power of the Dog” (cinematography, editing, production design, Johnny Greenwood’s score, and sound). Following with four noms was Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” remake at Fox/Disney (cinematography, costume design, production design, sound) — which was two shy of the 1961 original. Landing three noms were Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” at Searchlight/Disney (cinematography, costume design, production design) and Daniel Craig’s James Bond finale, “No Time to Die,” at MGM/UA (original song, “No Time to Die,” by Billie Eilish and FINEAS, plus sound and VFX — the first time since “Moonraker”)....

Wilmore’s show, simply titled “Wilmore,” will premiere on Peacock on September 18. Per NBCUniversal, “Wilmore” will center on “real discussions with high profile people from all different backgrounds including sports, politics and entertainment. Each episode will not only cover the election but will also engage in the important conversations of the week. It will be funny, sometimes serious, potentially awkward and most definitely honest.” “Wilmore” Jo Miller, Tony Hernandez, Brooke Posch, David Miner and Michael Rotenberg serve as executive producers....

The Oscar-winning director (and legendary cinephile) was terrified by “Pearl,” so much so that he felt compelled to write about it publicly. In a new review provided to /Film, the “Goodfellas” director heaped praise on West’s “X” prequel, praising its commitment to unapologetically disturbing horror. “Ti West’s movies have a kind of energy that is so rare these days, powered by a pure, undiluted love for cinema,” Scorsese wrote. “You feel it in every frame....

It’s a moment that leaves an indelible image, not just throughout the series, but in the minds of American audiences compelled to consider the threat of an active shooter a part of their daily lives. Laura’s actions in the diner set off a chain of events that her daughter could never have foreseen. Stoudt describes the diner scene as a “massive gift” to IndieWire via Zoom because “it’s the most cinematic thing ever....

“Idris Elba comes to mind,” Brosnan said. “Idris is such a powerful presence and such a great former voice tensity. He would be magnificent. There’s Tom Hardy out there as well. Tom can really chew the furniture up, just be a ball boy — both men can.” Brosnan added, “And I think now that Daniel has left such an indelible footprint, they can go in many different ways. But your guess is as good as mine, who’s going to be the next Bond....

At the same time, Disney’s “Mulan” is now available on platforms beyond Disney+ for $29.99, and is #1 at the revenue-based FandangoNow. “Ava” also continues its successful showings, with first place at Spectrum (their weekly chart ends on Thursday, limiting the showings for the two more recent releases). “Trump Card” is pitched as an expose of “socialism, corruption, and the deep state,” and clearly aimed at Election Day interest. In his past films (which received theatrical release), D’Souza preferred to specifically demonize Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton....
