The original Max series “Full Circle” debuts on July 13. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the new drama investigates a kidnapping gone wrong in New York, revealing the secrets and lies of multiple characters. Or as the trailer warns: “Everything is connected.” The six-episode limited series stars Zazie Beetz, Claire Danes, Jim Gaffigan, Jharrel Jerome, Timothy Olyphant, and Dennis Quaid.
Watch the “Full Circle” trailer:
The four-part documentary “Last Call: When A Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York” is set in the early 1990s as the AIDS crisis worsens. The media’s distorted coverage of the gay victims, coupled with the homophobic biases of the criminal justice system, undermine the investigation. The docuseries — which premieres on Max on July 9 — illustrates how the LGBTQ+ community fought to solve the murders and demand attention for those murdered.

Universal/DreamWorks’ The Last Voyage of the Demeter is heading from Jan. 27, 2023 to Aug. 11, 2023.
Pic is based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, which tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London.
Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.
Corey Hawkins as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham as the ship’s captain and David Dastmalchian as the Demeter’s first mate.
Pic also stars Jon Jon Briones, Stefan Kapicic, Nikolai Nikolaeff and Javier Botet.
André Øvredal directs off a screenplay by Bragi F. Schut, Stefan Ruzowitzky and Zak Olkewicz (based on the chapter “The Captain’s Log” of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Pic is produced by Brad Fischer and by Oscar-nominated producer Mike Medavoy and Arnold Messer for Phoenix Pictures and is executive produced by Matthew Hirsch.

Black Narcissus and How to Build a Girl actress Gemma Arterton has spoken out about her time as a Bond girl in Quantum of Solace.
In a recent interview with the Sun, Arterton both defended and criticized her role as the 2008 Bond film’s Strawberry Fields. In Quantum of Solace, British Secret Service agent Strawberry Fields attempts to thwart James Bond(Daniel Craig) from accomplishing his mission, but loses guard to his suave personality and charm. Arterton’s character ultimately becomes the target of Bond’s enemies and dies smothered in crude oil.
Arterton, who has also appeared in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Clash of the Titans, said she took the Bond role out of much needed exposure and income.

Patty Jenkins may have cast doubt on her involvement with Wonder Woman 3 as recently as last week, but Warner Bros. clearly made her an offer that she couldn’t refuse when it was announced just two days after the second installment had been released into theaters and on HBO Max that Jenkins and star Gal Gadot would be back, and the next chapter in Diana Prince’s story was getting fast-tracked into active development.
Of course, the filmmaker is also locked in for Star Wars: Rogue Squadron which has a release date of December 2023, so Wonder Woman 3 is going to be four years away at the earliest. That’s good news for those who didn’t particularly enjoy 1984, though, because it gives the creative team lots of time to fine-tune the script, with the volume of plot holes in the sequel drawing plenty of criticism.

Familystyle has entered into a first-look deal with Entertainment 360, the joint venture between MRC Television and Management 360, Variety has learned exclusively.
Familystyle is the production company run by Karyn Kusama, Matt Manfredi, and Phil Hay. The first project being developed under the deal is the series “The Occupant.” Kusama is attached to direct with Manfredi and Hay attached to write. The Los Angeles-set conspiracy is about a mentally fragile but idealistic person who becomes a reluctantly pivotal figure in the clandestine struggle between a seemingly benign modern megacorporation and the ragtag groups of Angelenos who oppose it.
“Phil, Matt, and I have made some of our most personal work as a team,” said Kusama. “We are truly thrilled that MRC Television and E360 are the latest additions to our creative family. From the get-go, it was clear that our friends there shared our enthusiasms and ambitions and would...

“Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer and Nathalie Cox (“Clash of the Titans”) have completed principal photography at York, U.K. on mystery/suspense feature “Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop,” directed by Brad Watson (“The 7th Dimension”).
“This has been a terrific experience,” said Grammer. “Although Covid presented a new set of challenges, we were able to work very effectively through new standards of film production. I would urge my family of actors at SAG-AFTRA to take a page out of the British playbook; we can responsibly get back to work. I have nothing but high praise for everyone associated with this production, from the director Brad Watson to the costume, make-up and hair folks to the young people who are just getting started in this marvellous profession.”

For the first time in a while, Netflix is adding no new titles today, so let’s instead take the opportunity to recap what’s gone up on the streaming site over the past week, from Saturday, August 1st to Saturday, August 8th. As that encompasses the first day of the month, there was a huge amount of fresh content added to Netflix’s library over this period. To be exact, there were 49 movies and 24 TV shows.
On the film side of things, this haul includes many an acclaimed or cult favorite flick from across the decades in all kinds of genres. The highlight is probably the entire Jurassic Park trilogy, which has proved popular with Netflix users as the first two entries have been hanging around the top 10 most-watched movies list almost ever since arriving. 80s classic fantasy flick The NeverEnding Story and its sequel were added on the 1st as well,...

With the summer starting to wind down, Netflix appear to be taking their foot off the gas a little bit when it comes to releasing high-profile original movies. Over the last few months, the streaming service has debuted a string of in-house projects that have either been subjected to widespread critical acclaim or racked up huge viewing numbers, and frequently both.
Netflix can sometimes be fairly secretive about their viewership data unless they’re shouting their success from the rooftops, and having recently revealed their Top 10 most-watched original movies ever, you can understand why they went public. If you include the reported 72 million streams for Charlize Theron’s The Old Guard that would see it claim sixth spot in the rankings, then four of the Top 10 were released between March and July of this year alone.

Confirming longtime speculation, Seattle has officially named its new NHL hockey team the Kraken.
The name, logo and uniforms were revealed Thursday, ahead of the team’s debut in the 2021-22 season.
The announcement cemented one of the most offbeat names for a team in all of professional sports. It is a reference to a creature that had a cameo in the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans and has far outlasted memories of the film itself. Clips of star Liam Neeson’s earnest baritone cry — “Release the kraken!” — lodged the phrase in the pop-culture vernacular even though the movie was hardly a smash, taking in $493.2 million at the global box office.
In Scandinavian mythology, the kraken is a gigantic, many-tentacled sea monster. Its maritime associations helped persuade team officials to take it as more than a gag as they sifted through some 1,200 potential names.

Legendary visual effects pioneer and stop-motion model animator Ray Harryhausen has died. The multi-award winner was a major influence on many of the biggest film makers of today with the likes of Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, George Lucas and John Landis all citing his impact.
Over nearly five decades his work broke new ground and included such films as 1949's "Mighty Joe Young," 1955's "It Came from Beneath the Sea," 1958's "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad," 1963's "Jason and the Argonauts," 1966's "One Million Years BC," and 1981's "Clash of the Titans".

The first glimpse of “Terminator Salvation” and “Avatar” star Sam Worthington as Perseus in Louis Leterrier’s remake of “Clash of the Titans” has now reached the Internet for all the world to see. The movie, which began shooting about a month ago in Europe, will re-craft director Desmond Davis’s 1981 classic starring Laurence Olivier. Leterrier’s remake is no slouch on the casting front either; joining Worthington are Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.
The new Worthington shot, which shows off Perseus in his battle gear, comes out of this month’s Empire according to /Film. There is also a foreboding hand in the foreground, perhaps that of Medusa, one of the iconic villains of Greek mythology that the hero fights in his quest to save his family and keep Hades from dethroning Zeus.

New York -- The race for "War of the Gods" and "Clash of the Titans," two rival projects set up at Relativity and Warners, is quickening.
Both are close to casting their leads, with "Stardust" topliner Henry Cavill set to star in "Gods" and "Terminator Salvation" star Sam Worthington in negotiations to climb aboard "Titans," which Thunder Road is producing and Legendary Pictures is co-producing."
In addition, the projects have set start dates. "Gods" would seem to have the edge -- it's tentatively planned for a February shoot, while production on "Titans" is slated to begin in April.
Both are sub-$100 million projects, though the budget for "Gods," at approximately $85 million, is believed to be higher than "Titans," which is closer to the $70 million range.
The studios have been in a fierce battle to get their product to market first, in a battle echoing the scramble between competing studio projects "Troy" and "Alexander" in 2004.
