Earlier this month, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio announced a sweeping mandate to require proof of Covid-19 vaccinations for patrons attending indoor activities like gyms and restaurants — and that will include movie theaters, as well. As the National Association of Theater Owners told The Hollywood Reporter, exhibitors are open to the idea of requiring proof of vaccination throughout the rest of the country. “In order for the exhibition industry to fully recover, we need more people to be vaccinated....

The comedian has discussed her struggles for years, from the teen pregnancies that came out of an abusive relationship to the time she spent in jail. “Y’all Wanna Hear Something Crazy” attacks a broader range of subjects, from her impoverished upbringing to dog owners and her own children’s foibles. It also comes equipped with a secret weapon: Veteran filmmaker and comedian Robert Townsend directed the special and helped Pat hone her routine....

It appears that the same kind of trickery went into making “Thor: Love and Thunder.” In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Natalie Portman revealed that one of her favorite scenes in the film was shot in the unlikeliest of places. “There’s one scene that’s one of the most visually beautiful scenes I’ve seen on film, and we shot [it] in real life in a Best Buy parking lot,” Portman said....

Box-office buzz is not a factor in this pandemic year, which gives Netflix an advantage. It has a long list of strong, widely seen contenders that yielded three of the seven PGA nominations: “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet;” Kirsten Johnson’s imaginative ode to her father, “Dick Johnson Is Dead;” and heart-tugging audience favorite “My Octopus Teacher.” The nominees for the Documentary category are selected by the Documentary Nomination Jury, made up of at least fifty documentary producers who select between three and seven non-fiction motion-picture nominees....

This was after #MeToo had hit, and so we wanted to speak to sexual harassment in a way that ‘Big Mouth’ could attack as a musical idea. We were both obsessed with those run of movies where Michael Douglas is ‘too sexy for his own good’ [including ‘Fatal Attraction’ and ‘Basic Instinct’], and ‘Disclosure’ is the funniest and pretty flawed....

So for one particular sequence, it makes perfect sense that the cast of the upcoming Hulu show “Nine Perfect Strangers” was less than eager to stay in the moment the way their characters are asked to do. “When you’re surrounded like that, by all that dirt, it’s extremely confronting,” Bobby Cannavale said. “I will tell you that whenever we cut camera, every single person got out of those holes pretty quickly....

The stunt in question is featured prominently in the “No Time to Die” trailers and finds Bond riding a motorcycle off a jump and over a wall to land on the cobblestone streets of Matera. Morrison said the specifics of the stunt had Craig’s stunt double motorcycle rider Paul Edwards riding off a 25ft ramp at 60mph. To secure Edwards’ safety, Coca-Cola was sprayed all over the cobblestone street so the surface would become sticky and help prevent any motorcycle slides and accidents....
