Streaming on HBO Max November 17 is A Christmas Story Christmas.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max comes the long-awaited follow-up to annual holiday favorite, “A Christmas Story.” This time, Ralphie is all grown up and must deal with Christmas and all that comes with it…as a dad. Peter Billingsley returns to the role that has made kids of all ages anticipate Christmas morning like no other.
In the original 1983 film, set in the 1940s and showed annually for 24 hours on TBS & TNT, little Ralphie tries to convince his parents to get him a Red Ryder range-model Bb gun for Christmas, only to hear, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.” TNT began the Christmas Story marathon in 1997, and TBS took it over in 2004 when TNT shifted to drama programming.
Peter Billingsley plays Ralphie, a boy who desperately wants a Bb gun for Christmas. Melinda Dillon plays his mother and Darren McGavin his father.

Perhaps you've watched the 1983 film "A Christmas Story" over and over again. It would be no surprise. It's often on a loop on Christmas Day. Heck, it might have been on enough in the background of your holiday celebrations that you've seen it more than "Star Wars." From the leg lamp that graces so many of our windows around the holidays, to the terrifying store Santa Claus, to saying, "You'll shoot your eye out" in reference to a rather dangerous Christmas toy, you've definitely heard of it. Today we have a new trailer for the sequel from Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max, "A Christmas Story Christmas," a name that could be a theme for many of our actual Christmases.
(Let's not dwell on the fact that there were a few other sequels, including "My Summer Story" in 1994, or the direct-to-dvd sequel that takes place six years after the original...

'The Little Things' trailer has arrived and it looks promising.
Warner Bros has released the official trailer for the upcoming thriller film 'The Little Things' featuring a trio of Oscar winners: Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto taking center stage.
The film seems to take us on the edge of our seats with several twists and turns, as we wait to see the mystery unfold.
The trailer for the psychological thriller begins with Denzel Washington as Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon, sitting next to the dead body of a young woman in the morgue. A Los Angeles detective (Rami Malek) asks him to assist him in a serial killer investigation. Together they set out in pursuit of a murderer (possibly Jared Leto) on the loose in the city who's been killing women over and over again.

Denzel Washington and Rami Malek are playing a dangerous game with Jared Leto in the first trailer for “The Little Things.”
The trio of Oscar winners — Malek won best actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Leto took home the supporting actor trophy for “Dallas Buyer’s Club” and Washington is a two-time winner, including best actor for “Training Day” and supporting actor in “Glory”– face off in the psychological thriller from writer-director John Lee Hancock.
In the film, Washington plays Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon, who gets involved in tracking a serial killer who is terrorizing the city of Los Angeles. Malek’s L.A. Sheriff Dept. Sergeant Jim Baxter is leading the investigation.
“You’re not exactly a department favorite,” Malek drawls at the beginning of the clip, speaking to Washington. “Things have probably changed a lot since you left.”
“Still got to catch ’em right?...

In Warner Bros. movie “The Little Things,” Jared Leto is a friggin’ creep, so he probably was the one who killed a whole bunch of girls in Los Angeles. At least, that’s the theory of Denzel Washington’s cop. So long as they collar a criminal, his ad-hoc partner (Rami Malek) seems pretty much on board with all of that — and with Washington’s character’s own unsettling methods.
Denzel Washington, Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Jared Leto (“Dallas Buyers Club”) star in the psychological thriller “The Little Things.” John Lee Hancock directed the film from his own original screenplay.
In “The Little Things,” Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment.

Release Dates
Warner Bros. has set the Denzel Washington-Rami Malek police thriller “The Little Things” for a Jan. 29, 2021, release.
John Lee Hancock is directing from his own script in which Washington portrays a burnt-out deputy sheriff from the Bakersfield area who teams with Malek’s crack Lasd detective in pursuit of a serial killer. Washington’s nose for the titular “little things” proves accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules place’s Malek’s character in a dilemma.

Warner Bros has just dated John Lee Hancock’s cop thriller The Little Things for a January 29, 2021 release. The distributor already had the date reserved with an untitled film. The movie, which starts Denzel Washington and Rami Malek, is now going up against Paramount’s animated monster-wrestling movie Rumble on that date.
The pic, written by Hancock, centers around Deke (Washington), a burnt-out Kern County, CA deputy sheriff who teams with Baxter (Malek), a crack Lasd detective, to nab a serial killer. Deke’s nose for the “little things” proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past.

Michael B. Jordan gets a shock to the system visiting death row for the first time in the new trailer for “Just Mercy,” setting him on a journey to fight for the rights of inmates who are just like him but have been wrongly convicted.
“The first time I visited death row, I wasn’t expecting to meet somebody the same age as me, from a neighborhood just like ours. Could’ve been me, mama,” Jordan says in the trailer’s opening moments.
“Just Mercy” is based on the true-life story of civil rights defense lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson and follows a young Stevenson (Jordan) as he fights to defend and free those wrongly convicted of crimes with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Brie Larson).

Director Destin Daniel Cretton’s biographical drama “Just Mercy” will mark Michael B. Jordan’s much-anticipated next appearance on the big screen after a banner 2018 that saw him star in two of the year’s biggest films: “Black Panther” and “Creed II.” A likely awards season contender for Warner Bros., “Just Mercy” will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff) this month.
Based on the award-winning nonfiction bestseller by lawyer and social-justice activist Bryan Stevenson, the powerful and thought-provoking true story follows young lawyer Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Stevenson passed over cushy, lucrative jobs to become an Alabama defense attorney, taking on cases of those wrongly condemned, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley. One of his first, and most incendiary cases is that of Walter McMillian, who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old white woman,...

If you’re a film collectible aficionado, then you can appreciate when a company dedicates themselves to ensuring accuracy while developing their products. At American International Toy Fair in New York City this week, Mike Drake, the Director of Special Projects at Mezco Toyz, shared with us one of their most bizarre hunts to make their upcoming roto plush Mother from Psycho completely accurate to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic horror thriller.
Drake says problems started from the top. “We tried to find a reference at Universal for what mother’s dress looked like. We see mother’s hands for two frames in the film and we see her shoes in the scene where she’s being carried down the steps.”
Universal searched, and in the meantime Drake says they found Mother’s head at the Museum of Cinema in France. One problem: they had the head but not the dress.

Riddick, the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004′s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose...

Mezco recently announced that they will be offering a 15 inch “Mega Scale” Chucky from the Child’s Play series. Continue reading for the official press release and a first look at Chucky:
“New York- “We’re friends to the end!” Of course, with Chucky as your friend, the end comes much sooner than you ever expected. Chucky, the homicidal doll that contains the spirit of Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer better known as “The Lakeshore Strangler,” is the latest perturbed plaything to be produced by Mezco Toyz.
“Although our Chucky can certainly be played with and posed, he is more than just a collectible toy” says Mezco’s Mike Drake, “Our design team has spent countless hours examining reference material; from photos, to stills from the films, to the surviving Chucky dolls. Mezco’s 15 inch Mega Chucky is ostensibly a screen accurate prop replica. You just have to add...

Since their announcement at the 2012 New York International Toy Fair in February, fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mezco’s Universal Monsters. The first Monster to hit stores shelves was Mezco’s 9inch Frankenstein figure and to say sales have been brisk would be an understatement.
“This is one of those items that we warned retailers about” said Mike Drake, Mezco’s Director Of Special Projects, “we knew this was going to be a popular line and told retailers to order deep, and now those who did are reaping the rewards!”
Mezco itself is already sold out of Frankenstein, but several online retailers still have him in stock:

New York’s Museum Of the Moving image once again proved itself the must have membership for film lovers (info here http://www.movingimage.us/support/membership ) on Thursday 8/16 as it dazzled an audience not only with a screening of Cosmopolis, but a lively and informative Q&A with the director himself.
Based on Don DeLillo’s prophetic 2003 novel, the film unfolds in a single cataclysmic day. Vaguely reminiscent of the classic After Hours, , the story follows Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson channeling Keanu Reeves, in a good way) a young financial whiz kid/ billionaire asset manager, as he experiences the streets of NY from a stretch limo that seems to have be the product of a joint venture between 007’s Q and Batman’s Lucius Fox. Ostensibly this is a simple film about a man going to get a haircut…but nothing is simple in the world of Cosmopolis.

Entering the recently redesigned Museum of The Moving Image is reminiscent of entering Mib headquarters. The all-white lobby has a futuristic feel that makes you certain Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are right around the corner. And the fact that Smith’s monocycle is parked in the lobby only serves to reinforce this idea.
As part of the Aliens, Gadgets, and Guns: Designing the World of Men in Black 3 (running until September 23, 2012) exhibit there is a magnificent display of alien creatures, memory-erasing neuralyzers, alien weapons, a monocycle, and the iconic black shades worn by Agents J and K. Adding to the fun, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Baker creating alien creature makeup is also featured in the exhibit.
7-time Academy Award winner Rick Baker has packed MIB3 with so many aliens, one care scarcely register them all as they appear on screen. Here, in the cool...

Doug Jones, the versatile actor who has played some of the most well known characters in modern cinema, recently released a new book, Mime Very Own Book. He took some time from his busy schedule to speak to me about acting, toys, and mimes.
Mike Drake: You’ve done so many films and had so many great rolls. What character do most people recognize you as? Conversely, is there a character nobody realized was you?
Doug Jones: It all depends on where I am, or what type of event I’m appearing at, but the mainstream crowd knows me equally as the Silver Surfer and Abe Sapien from the Hellboy movies. The more artsy or horror crowds tend to know me as the Faun and Pale Man from Pan’S Labyrinth, as well as the Lead Gentleman from Buffy’s “Hush” episode. And the surprise...

When you make your living selling bizarre items, it's hard to be shocked -- unless, of course, you're looking at the death mask of a two-headed baby.
That strange item stopped Evan Michelson and Mike Zohn in their tracks recently when they were looking for a special item for an artist who creates lifelike wax models and needed a death mask for inspiration.
Michelson and Zohn own Obscura Antiques & Oddities, a New York City store that specializes in one-of-a-kind artifacts such as monkey race cars, possessed ventriloquist dummies and artworks made of human hair.
Even after years of buying and selling the world's most bizarre items, Michaelson and Zohn were shocked by the sight of the two-headed baby death mask shown to them by Mike Drake, a well-known mask collector.
"That's pretty creepy," Zohn said. "It's probably a little too much inspiration [for the client]. She wants something a little more ... traditional."

Let's all take a moment to thank the horror gods for never letting the classic Universal movie monsters go out of fashion with horror and film aficionados. One of the nicest surprises on the Toy Fair show floor at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City this week was finding plenty of the iconic era monsters asserting their undying dominance. Collectible companies Mezco and Diamond Select Toys in particular are behind crafting new figures and statues that honor the beloved monsters in new and exciting ways. At the Mezco Toyz Booth, Mike Drake, Head of the Special Projects, was proudly showing off their Universal Studios Monsters figures and Mega Deluxe Vinyl Figures featuring a 2' tall Frankenstein in both...

In the past few weeks, Vin Diesel has treated us to the great first and second images of himself on the set of the upcoming third instalment in the Riddick series, Riddick. Continuing his kind stance of sharing the project with us every step of the way (all of which you can catch up on here), he’s treated us to the third image from the set, and it’s a great one.
Giving us a close-up of his face, we can see him wearing his trademark goggles from the first two films, Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, lying close to the ground, and looking pretty roughed up.
Writer-director David Twohy is returning behind the camera for the third film, which has been in development for many years. Collider also have the official updated synopsis for the film, which you can read in full beneath the great new image.
