The streaming platform has experimented with the interactive format with its children’s programming, and is looking to expand upon that idea. Black Mirror lends itself to that type of idea really well, so it will be very interesting to see how they pull it off....
As good as the next generation DVD numbers seem (or the face that the studios like to put on those numbers), it appears that delays in those releases can be attributed to a number of factors. In a story from Video Business, it seems that “relatively slim replication capacity on both Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD, compounded by production quality problems, is slowing down delivery of high-definition titles.” “Wholesalers and sell-through and rental outlets” are getting the next generation titles sometimes “several days later than the titles’ standard-definition version....

Sony Television kept pushing for the show, and Fox eventually relented, giving Breaking In a seven-episode order which started in April....

Avengers: Endgame was a massively successful project from Marvel Studios. The film had everything to appease the fans and perfectly respected the legacy that this shared continuity it had established over the years. It allowed farewells to the long-running storylines and dropped hints for new ones while wholeheartedly weaving the threads between all three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film also gave tonnes of characters a decent individual space in the narrative, making Endgame worth every second....
The words “lost film” can carry with them an eerie, mysterious connotation, one that suggests permanence: that a film is truly gone forever, never to be seen again. And many times, that is the case; films are frequently lost, destroyed, or simply locked away indefinitely by creators who wish to keep their works private for whatever reason. However, there are times when lost films are miraculously found and made available to the public, and it often happens when it is least expected....

ABC was the home to Marvel’s first show of the modern era, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but certain properties have made their way to other networks and services....

Cinematical recently spoke with cinematographer Wally Pfister, who shot both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight for director Christopher Nolan, and it seems that the upcoming Batman 3 likely won’t be shot in 3D. “What Chris and I have talked about is doing something cool and something interesting,” Pfister said. “[Director] Brad Bird was [saying] ‘you’ve got to shoot the whole thing in IMAX!...

One of the most chilling of the horror sub-genres is, however, the home invasion thriller. It is one of the most frightening as it is based in reality. It’s hard to imagine anything more terrifying than the violation of our most rudimentary sanctuary. The basic principles of a home invasion thriller are simple: a person breaks into someone’s home without their consent and often with malicious intent....
