Neil Gaiman is a popular bestselling author, writing across multiple genres. He’s written full-length novels, children’s books, comic books, and has even done some screenwriting. With such a wide range of works, it’s no surprise that several of his books have been chosen for a film or TV adaptation. They continue to prove popular as well, as there are currently two of his works in production. His novel Good Omens, co-written with Terry Prachett, began filming season two of the hit show late last year....

SFX hair and makeup has come a long way in film, and it’s one of the most important factors in immersing the audience in a story. When makeup and hair are done right, an actor truly seems like they are their character. It’s an under-appreciated art form that takes a lot of time and effort from everyone — including the actors! Most viewers associate makeup and hair transformations with sci-fi, fantasy, and even horror movies, but plenty of movies use transformative SFX....

Last night I was in the unforgiving desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico, on a set visit for this unique religious horror flick, Legion, which stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Willa Holland and Tyrese Gibson.

While Zack Snyder’s new film Watchmen won’t be released in theaters until March 6 of next year, it seems the film could be embroiled in a legal studio battle. According to Variety, a judge has dismissed a motion from Warner Bros. to dismiss the lawsuit brought against them by 20th Century Fox over the rights to the Watchmen film. The ruling is a huge victory for Fox, which may end up as being a profit participant in the film....

Violent delights do have violent ends, at least when it comes to Westworld season 2. The second-to-last episode of the series just showed itself to us and, to be frank, it was one of the most hopelessly dark episodes of the show to date. Still, it brought with it a good deal of violence, reveals and helped set the stage for what’s to come in the season 2 finale next week....

Moon Knight had to take on a large number of creatures throughout the six-episode span of his Disney Plus miniseries. And while Marc Spector has the capable team of Steven Grant, Layla El-Faouly, & to an extent, Khonshu, imagine if he had a team of Pokémon to bring into battle against Arthur Harrow and his cult. While Red got to wield a diverse team of Pokémon, most trainers tend towards Pokémon that match them in aesthetics or personality....

When two police officers inadvertently witness an assassination ordered by Arnold Soloman (a crime boss played by Bruce Willis), they soon find themselves as Arnold’s next targets. Wanting zero witnesses, Arnold commands his enforcer Gabriel Tancredi (Michael Rooker) to take them out, and Gabriel brings along his soon-to-be-replacement Carlo Garcia (Vadhir Derbez) to finish the job....

Ever since Steven Spielberg’s 1975 hit thriller Jaws, sharks have become a reliable source of terror within the film world. There’s something so terrifying about being stranded out in the deep dark ocean, but we can’t help but feel drawn to the movies where people are being eaten in that deep dark ocean. Jaws might have kickstarted our love for shark movies and is still the ultimate summer horror film, but there has been an array of exciting, terrifying films with giant sharks constantly hitting our screens, with classics like Deep Blue Sea and the endlessly popular Shark Week keeping the underwater creatures in the cultural consciousness....

Some of the latest news on Sony’s upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie comes straight from the mouth of the formidable hunter himself. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who will be playing the iconic Spider-Man villain, said that the film is being shot entirely on location. This may come as a slight shock to many fans and viewers of other big-budget superhero films released over the past decade. The vast majority of studios have long bid farewell to the constraints and limitations of location shooting in exchange for the controlled environment provided by a soundstage....

The Chicago World’s Fair – also known as the World’s Columbian Exposition – was one of the most significant events of the late 19th century.

Spoiler Warning: The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 When June (Elisabeth Moss) and Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) happen to meet as passengers on a train at the end of “Safe,” the fifth season finale of The Handmaid’s Tale, viewers were left with many questions about how this epic story will wrap up in the sixth and final season of Hulu’s hit dystopian drama. The popular program renewed for a sixth season just days before “Safe,” written by series creator Bruce Miller and directed by Elisabeth Moss, was aired so that the last scene between the two principal characters was correctly seen as a prologue to the final chapter, and not a conclusion to the series....
