Now, Fuller has spoken to SCI FI Wire about the show and where he sees the future of the show going. When asked what he wanted to accomplish with the new scripts, Fuller answered “I just really wanted to get everything back to a character base....
The 1999 romantic comedy But I’m a Cheerleader was decidedly ahead of its time. Though a cultural shift toward greater acceptance and tolerance was slowly but surely beginning to take root, the 1990s were not as accepting as one may assume from the film and television projects of the time. LGBT characters became increasingly common in Hollywood, but this representation was not met without a notable degree of backlash. Popular sitcoms and movies incorporated minor gay and lesbian characters into their ensembles, leading the fight to destigmatize gay and lesbian individuals in the media....
When Leslie Jordan passed away on October 24th, the world mourned the loss of the Emmy-winning actor and author. At the time, Jordan co-starred on Fox’s Call Me Kat, where he played Phil, a baker at a cat café in Louisville, KY. Following his death, the cast and crew took a brief hiatus before returning to film the conclusion of Jordan’s final episode. Actress Mayim Bialik, who heads the series as Kat, spoke to EW about how the series will bid farewell to Phil (Jordan’s character) this Thursday....

The three crime films Revolution Films is producing for Channel 4 are based on three of the four books in British novelist David Peace’s “Red Riding Quartet,” which is set in Yorkshire in the 1970s and early ’80s.

Reaching stardom at a very young age, Selena Gomez seemed to have it all, charm, beauty, and success.

FX has released a new trailer for Atlanta Season 2, with this run confirmed last month to be called Robbin’ Season, debuting Thursday, March 1, 2018 at 10 pm ET/PT. Robbin’ Season in Atlanta takes place just before Christmas and New Year’s Day, where there is a large uptick in crime throughout the city. Donald Glover teased at the TCA Winter Tour last month that he wanted to add the Robbin’ Season subtitle as a way of focusing the writers, so they wouldn’t be trying to find ways to “top” the critically acclaimed first season, but rather, “make this another season of a show I want to watch....
Avatar: The Way of Water has had a pretty easy run at the box office since its release in December. With very few big movies having been released since, the sequel has been given free rein over the domestic chart and has become the first movie since 2009’s Avatar to remain at the top of the box office for seven consecutive weekends. While this is certainly an achievement, Avatar: The Way of Water is still a long way off the holder of the record for consecutive box office weekend wins, which is E....
A sealed VHS copy of Back to the Future was auctioned last week. For a price of $750,000, it is most likely the most expensive videocassette to change hands at auction. Several people probably wish they had a flux capacitor right about now. For a frame of reference, according to Screen Rant, back in 1986, a VHS of Back to the Future would have cost $79.95. Of course, this particular copy had been given away for free....
Space exploration, alien invasion, and flying saucers have always been popular motifs for science fiction and cinema as a whole. The stars have been the backdrop for many films, even going back to 1902 in Georges Méliès’ now-iconic silent film, A Trip to the Moon; famously depicting the moon with a rocket gouged into its eye, was a massive success. This film may have been one of the first and most popular, but it certainly was not the last to feature extraterrestrial creatures....
With great bounds being made for the LGBTQ+ community, including the legalization of gay marriage in the United States, more representation in film is necessary. Over the past couple of decades, the LGBTQ+ community has seen a surge in representation on the silver screen. While this is a wonderful thing, there are special circumstances that come into place as not every member of the LGBTQ+ community will have the same experiences, and sexuality intersects with almost every other aspect of identity—most especially, race....
“Til death do us part." The familiar wedding vow, when taken to its logical conclusion and strictly abided by, means that every marriage will ultimately end with a widow or widower, unless you happen to depart this mortal coil at the same moment as your beloved. This is inevitable, and arguably more painstaking than divorce. For most people, the prospect of widowhood is a stark possibility and one that can often prove to be unbearable....
With the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson became the target of the internet’s most beloved phenomenon: made-up, unimportant controversy. Detractors of the film were so loud online that Johnson’s work and style became a topic of heated debate among virtual communities on Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. Whether fans love his work or hate it, the film inspired passion. When his next film, Knives Out, hit theaters, it was met with almost universal love....
Fans of The Walking Dead have been waiting an eternity for the fabled “Rick Grimes Movie”, which has been promised since Andrew Lincoln’s character was airlifted from the flagship series in Season 9, so when word of a big announcement being made this Sunday from the Walking Dead Universe it seemed that there was finally some light at the end of that particular tunnel. As you would expect then, it took no time for producer Scott M....
The Origin Film? Whoop-doo! The origin film has dominated the box office for most of May. We learned how Wolverine got his claws, how James T. Kirk came to captain the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, how John Connor came to lead the Resistance, and how Robert Langdon settled for that goofy-ass hairdo. Despite these tales being repetitive and unnecessary, they’ve pulled in record grosses. Some have been enthralling; others have left their fans irate....
