Matt Reeves certainly has a way with the lens. Knowing exactly how to get his audience to feel exactly what he wants, his directorial abilities are truly commendable. While his most notable work has become Robert Pattinson’s Batman, he has been making masterpieces long before that. There is no better example than his 2008 film, Cloverfield.

The film was praised immensely by critics and audiences, being the perfect representation of The Blair Witch Trails, but set in New York with monsters roaming about. To call the film scary would be an understatement and it would seem that Steven Spielberg was also effected by its horrors.

I have this really bad habit when I watch new shows. I am always late to the party. It happens all the time. I watch a pilot of a TV show, write it off and then years later I find out it’s an incredible piece of work. Community, Brooklyn 99, Superstore, and Babylon 5 are a few that come to mind. It’s frustrating because I miss out on so much fun, like talking to other fans about the show, conventions, and fun marketing. Sure, you can still do many of these things after the show but, like a fresh slice of pizza, it always tastes better fresh out of the oven. Fringe is another slice that I have had to microwave. The series followed a quirky scientist, an estranged criminal son, and a badass FBI agent on some dark and fascinating twists and turns. These would involve alternate dimensions,...

Announced back in September of last year, the Cloverfield franchise is returning to life with a brand new movie that Might finally be an official sequel to the 2008 found footage movie rather than another in-universe spinoff project, but what’s the latest on the mysterious movie?
Our friends over at Slash Film bring us the exciting news today that the in-universe Slusho website has officially come back online this week, suggesting that the viral marketing campaign for “Cloverfield 2” is beginning to take shape.

Robert Earl Keen is late for this interview. But the Texas troubadour arrives with a valid excuse, one he’s used over the years, albeit truthfully — a guitar store caught his eye in transit and he just had to stop in to see what was on the racks.
“This is a Duesenberg [guitar],” the 67-year-old tells Rolling Stone backstage at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, holding up the instrument. “It’s the same name and color of the car in my graphic novel. It’s serendipitous. I just had to buy it.

We’re happy to report that this Goddard – Abrams – Reeves monster thriller holds up, when most everything else from the years of shaky-cam nausea and ‘found footage’ boredom disappoints. The ‘found’ video recording of the end of NYC is more than a gimmick, and it brings the panic for a you-are-there night of mayhem, chaos and destruction. The show was engineered to look like low-grade amateur video footage . . . so . . . why a 4K presentation? Curious format-philes will want to know.

The found footage creature feature Cloverfield was a big hit for Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot Productions when it was released in 2008, so it’s no surprise that it kicked off a franchise. The only surprises are that it took eight years for a sequel to come along, and when Cloverfield did become a franchise it wasn’t with a direct sequel. The Cloverfield name was used to create an anthology series. 2016’s 10 Cloverfield Lane was quickly followed by 2018’s The Cloverfield Paradox… and now Deadline has broken the news that another Cloverfield movie is coming our way, with Under the Shadow‘s Babak Anvari signed on to direct.
Anvari will be working from a screenplay by iBoy writer Joe Barton… but, as you would expect from Bad Robot, details are being kept under wraps. It’s not clear if Anvari’s Cloverfield movie will be a sequel to the original film,...

The apocalyptic world of “Cloverfield” is expanding.
A yet-untitled sequel was announced by Paramount Pictures, as first reported by Deadline, with BAFTA winner Babak Anvari (“Under the Shadow”) set to direct. Screenwriter Joe Barton (“The Lazarus Project”) is penning the script.
Original “Cloverfield” director Matt Reeves, who went on to helm “The Batman,” is serving as an executive producer, with J.J. Abrams producing from Bad Robot, along with Hannah Minghella and Jon Cohen. Bryan Burk and “Cloverfield” screenwriter Drew Goddard will also executive produce.
The “Cloverfield” universe first started with Reeves’ 2008 fictional found-footage film about a monster attack in New York City. Mike Vogel, Lizzy Caplan, T.J. Miller, and Theo Rossi starred.
Eight years later, the 2016 film “10 Cloverfield Lane” marked Dan Trachtenberg’s feature directorial debut and starred Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a woman held captive by a conspiracy theorist, played by John Goodman. The film’s twist ending...

Another chapter in the “Cloverfield” universe is coming.
“Wounds” director Babak Anvari has been tapped to helm the newest installment of the hit horror series. J.J. Abrams is producing from Bad Robot, along with Hannah Minghella and Jon Cohen. Bryan Burk, Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard will executive produce. Joe Barton, who penned the 2017 cult horror hit “The Ritual,” is set to write the script.
This next installment is currently in development at Paramount Pictures and will be the fourth chapter in the experimental sci-fi series. The first film, 2008’s “Cloverfield,” was a found footage alien invasion movie that became a sleeper hit. The second chapter, 2016’s “10 Cloverfield Lane,” modified an existing script to fit within the “Cloverfield” universe and became a commercial and critical hit, anchored by strong performances from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman. The third installment, 2018’s space thriller “The Cloverfield Paradox,” was widely panned...

It’s now been nearly 15 years since the found footage film Cloverfield brought a giant monster into New York City, the 2008 film subsequently spawning a loosely connected universe of movies that has thus far included the excellent 10 Cloverfield Lane and the not-so-excellent The Cloverfield Paradox. And it seems another Cloverfield movie is now on the way!
Deadline reports today that Babak Anvari is directing a new Cloverfield movie for Paramount, with Joe Barton being hired to write the script.
The last time this project popped up it had been described as the first true sequel to Cloverfield, but Deadline’s report this morning notes that all plot details are under wraps.
Deadline reports, “It is unknown how this new installment will link to its predecessors; whether its straight sequel to the original or an anthology piece that is set in the Cloverfield universe.”

The jury of the Tokyo International Film Festival expressed warm greetings and happy feelings about a week of movie-watching in the Japanese capital. But the tone changed noticeably when confronted with the question of the position of women at film festivals, and what are festivals’ responsibilities towards women.
Comprised of Philippines director Brillante Mendoza, Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti, U.S. producer Bryan Burk, Japanese actress Kaho Minami, and, Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan, the jury expressed their views at a press meeting on Friday, the first full day of Tiff activities.
“If we can call this a problem or an issue of women being the minority among filmmakers that is because women are the minority everywhere,” said Alidoosti.
Minami referenced Cate Blanchett, and the Women’s Day activities at Cannes this year, but it was unclear whether her comments about the Tokyo festival were criticism or encouragement. “This year (in...

Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” is heading for record territory with a $60 million opening weekend in North America, early estimates showed Friday.
If the projections hold, Paramount’s sixth installment of the franchise will finish at the high end of recent forecasts — which had ranged from $50 million to $65 million at 4,386 sites. Friday’s total should hit around $23 million, including a record $6 million from previews.
2015’s “Rogue Nation” had a solid $55.5 million U.S. launch and wound up with $192 million domestically and $682 million worldwide. The highest Friday-Sunday opener in the franchise was 2000’s “Mission: Impossible 2” with $57.8 million.
“Mission: Impossible – Fallout” arrives as the best-reviewed title in the series with a stellar 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and the Impossible Mission Force join with CIA assassin August Walker, played by Henry Cavill, to prevent a global nuclear attack.

Tom Cruise returned to CinemaCon on Wednesday with a stunning exploration of his trademark: executing a daredevil stunt.
In this case, Cruise explained the details of a freefall stunt for “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” to a clearly impressed audience at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nev. Cruise fell at 200 mph as agent Ethan Hunt to complete a skydiving scene in the sixth “Mission: Impossible” movie.
“Each take is like running an 800 meter sprint,” a matter-of-fact Cruise said. “We did 106 takes.”
The three-minute scene in “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” takes place above Paris at sunset. Hunt and CIA agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) skydive at 25,000 feet into a lightning storm and are struck by lightening that leaves Walker unconscious, requiring Hunt to somehow catch and revive Walker before they hit the ground.
The sequence, of which the CinemaCon audience was shown raw footage, was shot in the United Arab Emirates and rehearsed at Leavesden Studios in the U.

“The Shape of Water” is rapidly becoming the Best Picture Oscar favorite after winning the 29th PGA Awards Saturday night, with producers Guillermo del Toro and J. Miles Dale taking home the top Darryl F. Zanuck prize. That’s two in a row for del Toro’s adult fairy tale of love and inclusion after topping the Critics Choice Awards, with momentum heading into Tuesday’s Oscar nominations.
Del Toro, though, winner of the Golden Globe for Best Director, was unable to attend. He was in Mexico with his ailing father. “The Shape of Water” co-star Richard Jenkins read a note on del Toro’s behalf, dedicating the award to both his parents.
For the first time, thanks to a tie, the PGA had a record 11 nominees, with “The Shape of Water” beating Golden Globe winner, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (both from Fox Searchlight). But “Three Billboards” is the...

Fox Searchlight’s The Shape Of Water received a big fillip in its Oscar ambitions as it won the Producers Guild Of America’s (PGA) Darryl F. Zanuck for best feature at the 29th annual PGA Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday night (January 20).
The PGA best feature winner has gone on to win the best picture Oscar in 19 out of the last 27 years. That said, in the last two years PGA winners La La Land and The Big Short lost out at the Academy Awards to Moonlight and Spotlight.
Director-producer Guillermo del Toro was absent due to the ill health of his father in Mexico. His fellow producer J. Miles Dale collected the honour and read a message on behalf of del Toro.

The Producers Guild of America hands out its awards on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018. That is the night before the Screen Actors Guild does the same. Unlike, the latter, which will air on TNT and TBS, the PGA ceremony is not televised. However, it is an equally important stop on the road to the Oscars.
The PGA Awards has an enviable track record at presaging the eventual Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards. The guild and the academy have agreed on 19 of the most recent 28 Best Picture champs. Last year, all nine Oscar nominees for Best Picture numbered among the 10 PGA contenders; only “Deadpool” was snubbed by the academy. The PGA prize went to “La La Land” while the Oscar was (eventually) won by “Moonlight.”

“Westworld,” “Insecure” and “Divorce” will all be back for a sophomore season on HBO.
HBO announced on Monday that all three shows had been renewed. HBO programming president Casey Bloys told IndieWire that all three shows will be back with 10 episodes each, but it’s unclear whether Season 2 of “Westworld” will be ready to return by next fall.
“‘Westworld’ is such a big and ambitious show I’m not sure it will be fall 2017, it could go into 2018,” Bloys said. “We’ll have to see when we get it up and running.”
The pickup comes after creatively solid freshman frames for all three Sunday night series, which received generally strong reviews. “Westworld” is also a solid ratings performer, as its most recent episode attracted 2.7 million viewers in the Live+3 (which includes three days of DVR and VOD usage) ratings.

Since other outlets had been given exclusive clips from the upcoming the Star Wars: The Force Awakens four-disc 3D Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray release, it's only fair Lucasfilm themselves got one. The Star Wars Show revealed a new bit of J.J. Abrams commentary dealing with Rey's "Forceback' scene at Maz's castle. We knew Ewan McGregor put in a small bit of voice work for the film and Abrams revealed just after The Force Awakens was released that a little magic helped Sir Alec Guinness have a voice as well. As reported by Entertainment Weekly: As they worked on editing the dream sequence, Bryan Burk, a longtime Bad Robot collaborator and one of the producers of the film, surprised Abrams one day with the gift of a single word: Obi-Wan Kenobi’s voice saying the name “Rey …” “I said, ‘That’s cool, is that the thing from Ewan McGregor?’” Abrams recalled.

To paraphrase Shakespeare: Oh brave new-but-kinda-old world, that has such creatures in it!
The premiere of HBO’s Westworld introduces us to a slightly futuristic world where people can slap down serious cash in order to frolic in a vast amusement park full of androids. The setting is the American Old West, which means that well-heeled patrons can have their fill of saloon girls, town-square shootouts and the like. Oh, and the androids don’t know they’re androids, or that they’re controlled by a team of scientists located in a futuristic hub near the park. They merely believe...
