Speaking to The Ringer, Wall said more times than not he is editing together multiple takes of a different scene into one finished version as opposed to just using Fincher’s final take or most preferred single take. Wall created a system that he has passed on to Fincher’s other editors that “allowed me to sleep at night knowing that I had a mechanism in place so I knew I was getting all the best stuff....
The pseudonymous DeuxMoi account for all-things celebrity gossip has amassed over 1.5 million followers since its formation in 2020. The fictionalized memoir “Anon Pls” is penned by DeuxMoi with New York Times-bestselling author Jessica Goodman and will be published November 8 by William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins.

As revealed by the streamer Wednesday at the Television Critics Association Winter 2021 Press Tour, the series synopsis is as follows: “After getting ousted from the NCAA, a hothead men’s basketball coach must take a job at an all-girls high school. He soon learns that teenage girls are more than just X’s and O’s; they require empathy and vulnerability — foreign concepts for the stoic Coach Korn (John Stamos).

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” director Sam Raimi hinted that there is still some uncertainty over wrapping production on the sequel film, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. The follow-up to Scott Derrickson’s 2016 film underwent “significant reshoots” in November 2021, according to Raimi’s recent interview with Variety. “I wish I knew the answer to that question,” Raimi said of finalizing the film. “I think we’re done, but we just cut everything....
And yet, for all of the truth contained in that wisdom, certain films make it almost impossible to shake the feeling that cinema — the most palpably fourth-dimensional of all popular art forms — possesses an unrivaled ability to make us appreciate how we can waste it. Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up” is nothing if not one of those films. A star-studded comedy of terrors that boasts more A-list celebrities than actual laughs, “Don’t Look Up” may be the most interminable “Oscar movie” of the year (and just when it seemed like “Being the Ricardos” was finally on track to win something!...
“I enjoy writing. I also hate writing. Sometimes, when I cant squeeze out the thing I want to write, I write something else. This has happened a lot during Covid,” Jones wrote on Twitter, adding that he was inspired to pivot to adapting “Full Throttle” after he saw a friend’s animated reimagining of the video game on Vimeo. “If nothing else, it gave me a chance to do a bit of action comedy....
In a recent sitdown with the New York Times, “Lord of the Rings” star Elijah Wood echoed that sentiment while reflecting on his time playing Frodo in Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning film series. “There was a great sense of a lack of oversight. Peter and the larger team were allowed to make the movies the way that they wanted to make them without much outside perspective,” said Wood. Jackson pitched the film to Miramax as early as 1995, but when the studio and chief Harvey Weinstein demanded two-hour cuts and exhaustive story changes, Jackson found an audience at New Line, which afforded more creative freedom....
As Time reports: “The endless primping, red carpets and magazine spreads were all agonizing reminders of the disconnect between how the world saw Page and who he knew himself to be. ‘I just never recognized myself,’ Page says. ‘For a long time I could not even look at a photo of myself.’ It was difficult to watch the movies too, especially ones in which he played more feminine roles.”...
This year’s nominations continue to mark progress in certain areas. Nominations for Black actors increased slightly this year, with Lead Actor in a Drama Series seeing four Black performers nominated versus last year’s two, and Lead Actress in a Drama Series honoring three Black thespians, as opposed to one in 2020 — that means people of color commanded half the category for Actress and two-thirds of the Actor nominees. Additionally, Jurnee Smollett (“Lovecraft Country”), Mj Rodriguez (“Pose”), Jonathan Majors (“Lovecraft Country”), and Rege-Jean Page (“Bridgerton”) were all first-time nominees....
That Hawke is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe might raise some eyebrows, given his buzz-worthy comments from August 2018 in which he shared his belief that superhero movies are overly praised by critics. In an interview with The Film Stage to mark his lifetime achievement award at the Locarno Film Festival, Hawke showed ambivalence toward the superhero genre and cited the Oscar-nominated “Logan” as an overpraised example. “Now we have the problem that they tell us ‘Logan’ is a great movie,” Hawke said at the time....
Wood’s statement reads in its entirety: “The name of my abuser is Brian Warner, also known to the world as Marilyn Manson. He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail. I am here to expose this dangerous man and call out the many industries that have enabled him, before he ruins any more lives....
If TV is your game, it’s important to spend your viewing time wisely, keeping on top of the best that the medium has to offer and take in a little quality alongside your quantity. In that spirit, we’ve chosen five shows, potential awards contenders, no less, that you should try to sneak in while everyone else slips into a tryptophan-fueled slumber.

The Oscar nominee took to Instagram to slam trolls for commenting on her figure after baring her nipples in a hot pink dress from Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture collection. “Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing,” Pugh began her Instagram statement....
Hamada under his deal, which begins January 1, will have the goal of releasing several, low-to mid-budget films per year across theatrical and streaming. Hamada outside of his work with DC has had success shepherding the “Conjuring” and “It” franchises while at Warner Bros., and Paramount will be looking to build on its box office success seen with both “Scream” and “Smile” from this year. “With his track record for groundbreaking success, Walter is the ideal partner and visionary to build out our mainstream horror genre franchise business,” said Paramount Pictures president and CEO Brian Robbins....
According to Coppola’s website, “Each bottle of Director’s Cut pays homage to the history of filmmaking with its wraparound label designed after a Zoetrope strip, one of the earliest moving picture devices. These particular strips are exact replicas from Francis’s personal Zoetrope collection.” The wines are sourced from Sonoma. The set includes bottles of his Cinema and Technicolor wines, plus bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc....
Marshall has directed a few features over the years (“Arachnophobia,” “Congo”) and started producing non-fiction series and features (“The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash,” “Laurel Canyon,” “McCartney 3, 2, 1,” and “Sinatra: All or Nothing at All”) before moving into directing with “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” and “Carole King & James Taylor: Just Call Out My Name.” There’s no question Marshall can afford to do whatever he wants with his time....
Dave Scott, the Comcast Spectacor chairman and CEO, broke the news to the G4 staff in a memo circulated on Sunday. (IndieWire obtained the note; it’s posted below.) Comcast Spectacor is the sports- and entertainment-focused subsidiary of Comcast that owns the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers and used to own the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. Forty-five staffers at G4 lost their jobs immediately as a result of the decision. The shutdown comes just under a year since the channel’s relaunch last November....
A writers’ room has been opened, and in the event of pickup, the show will go straight to series for a six-episode first season. Emmy-winning “Succession” and “Better Call Saul” writer Jonathan Glatzer will serve as the showrunner, while Grant Heslov, who co-wrote the original film’s screenplay, is attached to direct the first episode. The “Good Night, and Good Luck” movie focused on the early days of American broadcast journalism, starring David Strathairn as CBS news host Edward R....
Platforming games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System were notorious for their high difficulty, but few tested players’ dexterity and patience like the original “Ghosts ‘n Goblins.” Released by Capcom as an arcade console in 1985 and later ported to Nintendo’s first home console, “Ghosts ‘n Goblins” remains infamous for its forbidding challenge, and its reputation as one of the most difficult video games in history still holds up despite how much of a crucible the platforming genre has become in recent years....
There will be plenty of time for further analysis of which shows are best positioned for the final round of Emmy voting, as well as how platforms are promoting their wares to maximize exposure for contenders and attempting to win the hearts of the Emmy Awards judge and jury: The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. But being only a few days removed from the nominations themselves, feelings are still running deep and the short-staffed crew of IndieWire’s TV podcast “Millions of Screens” decided it was only right to explore those emotions and examine how we’re doing, as we live in a world where Hulu’s “Pen15” received only three Emmy nominations....
