Stephen King had a very public dislike towards Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of his novel The Shining. He believed that Kubrick’s version had no real heart in it as he changed some of the fundamental elements in the book. The difference in their adaptation came from King and Kubrick’s view of good and evil. King believed in the Biblical demarcations of good and evil, while Kubrick did not believe in hell.

The character Jack Torrance, played by Jack Nicholson, had psychopathic tendencies which made him a terrifying character in the movie. However, King’s novel suggests that external evil forces played a crucial role in the insanity of the character.

FX has released the official trailer for A Murder At The End Of The World, its upcoming mystery limited series starring Emma Corrin, Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson and Brit Marling.
“I sometimes wonder, would it have been better not to go?” Corrin says in the opening moments of the trailer set to a haunting cover of Depeche Mode’s “Strangelove”. “I think about it like a coin toss, when your life can go one way, or another. When you’re trapped at the end of the world, there’s no going back.”
Created by Marlin and Zal Batmanglij, the seven-episode limited series stars Corrin as Darby Hart, a Gen Z amateur sleuth and tech-savvy hacker, who, along with eight other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire (Owen) to participate in a retreat at a remote and dazzling location. When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must...

The Chilean filmmaker’s dark satire premieres in Venice competition.
It has been more than a decade since No, Pablo Larraín’s last feature about former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, and the filmmaker returns to the territory with his dark satire El Conde, which receives its world premiere in Venice today (August 31).
The territory was familiar and uncharted. Whereas 2012’s No and the two earlier films in Larraín’s Pinochet trilogy – Tony Manero (2008) and Post Mortem (2010) – steered clear of depicting the tyrant on screen and focused on how his violent rule (1973-1990) bled into the psyche of Chileans, El Conde is something very different.
