Exclusive: “Neo, sooner or later you’re going to realize just as I did that there’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path,” states Laurence Fishburne’s Morpheus to Keanu Reeve’s character in the Lilly Wachowski’s co-penned and co-helmed The Matrix.
Almost 30 years after the genre and culturally defining Matrix first came out, those words and that worldview are something the filmmaker takes very seriously as a series of grants from Wachowski’s Anarchist United Foundation makes very clear. Emphasizing the non-profits triple ethos of artistry, diversity, and equity in media, Au has launched three new grant programs of $20,000 each.

Even without the John Williams factor, the premiere event for the 38th annual AFI Fest would have been notable in one particular regard, Steven Spielberg said. “First of all, I thank the AFI board and everyone for doing something they’ve never done before, which is to open the AFI Festival with a documentary,” Spielberg said in introducing the 2025 events’s opening-night attraction at the Tcl Chinese Theatre. “That is a wonderful thing, to really be able to place the documentary form exactly where it belongs, right up alongside the narrative form.”
But “even without the John Williams factor” is not something that Spielberg has wanted to experience very often in his filmmaking career. From his debut feature, “The Sugarland Express,” through his most recent film, 2022’s “The Fabelmans,” Spielberg has brought Williams in to score 29 of his features. And now they more or less share a 30th together: “Music by John Williams,...

At the premiere of Disney+ doc Music by John Williams on opening night of AFI Fest on Wednesday, Steven Spielberg took some time to reflect on his longtime collaboration with the legendary composer.
The duo have worked on nearly 30 films together, including Jaws, E.T., Schindler’s List and the Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones franchises. Spielberg serves as producer on the new Williams documentary and inside the Los Angeles screening, recalled how for several years the two would host fundraiser concerts for orchestras around the country. The filmmaker would play a scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with no music first, joking the four-minute scene would feel like 14 minutes. And then the scene would replay with Williams leading an orchestra, making the four minutes feel like 90 seconds.

Jackson has once again insisted his 'Star Wars' character Mace Windu is still alive.The Jedi Master was seemingly thrown to his death in the 2005 film 'Revenge of the Sith' following a fierce duel with Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid) but the 75-year-old actor has now argued Windu is still "out there" and joked the hero was living out the rest of his days with Jackson's 'Pulp Fiction' character Jules Winnfield.During a recent appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', the actor told the host: "There's a history alone, history of one-armed, one-handed people in the 'Star Wars' universe. "So, just cause they cut my arm off and I fell out a window, doesn't mean I'm dead. I'm a Jedi! The second-most powerful Jedi in the universe next to Yoda. So, I can float!"Yeah, he's out there. Yeah, he's out there walking the Earth with Jules.

Skeleton Crew is hopefully going to be a refreshing new take on the franchise that the fans will love. It will definitely be something new that live-action Star Wars fans can enjoy, as there is no other such project out there like Skeleton Crew; such stories could only be enjoyed by those who read the books or the comics until now.
The series will star Jude Law as a mysterious Force user named Jod Na Nawood, and a group of child actors. Their characters get lost in space and now Jod has to help them get back home in a world that is not really pleasant or gentle towards the youngest.
But, aside from having a big name in front of the camera, the series will also feature several major names behind the camera, as showrunner Jon Watts, best known as the director of Tom Holland’s MCU Spider-Man trilogy,...

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy is absolutely goated and still remains one of the best entries into the franchise ever. Starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, the three films are nothing short of a rollercoaster ride full of twists, turns, and loops. Another wild ride in the trilogy is none other than Kirsten Dunst’s character herself who, let’s be honest, frustrated us all at one point or the other.

The biggest complaint we have from Sam Raimi’s version of Mary Jane is that she has cheated, tried to cheat, or left someone for another in every single film. Whether it’s Harry Osborn, John Jameson, or Peter Parker himself, Mary Jane had a hard time deciding who she really wanted in the trilogy, and that may be one of the...

Jeff Goldblum believes he’s faced off with his last dinosaur. In an interview with Total Film for the publication’s final issue, the actor shares that he thinks his “Jurassic Park” character, the celebrity mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm, may be finished, as the franchise prepares to relaunch next summer with the release of “Jurassic World Rebirth,” starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali.
“I think Ian Malcolm may have ridden off into the sunset. Maybe,” said Goldblum. “Because this next one — my friend, Scarlett Johansson, and my new friend, Jonathan Bailey from ‘Wicked,’ I think, are taking up the reins. And I can’t wait to see what they do. I think that’s a good idea.”
Goldblum appeared in four of the six “Jurassic” entries, starring in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original alongside Sam Neill and Laura Dern. Goldblum then led the filmmaker’s 1997 sequel “The Lost World.

Jeff Goldblum on the negative reviews of Jurassic World Dominion: “It’s tough to make a good movie.”
Colin Trevorrow wrapped up his Jurassic World trilogy with the 2022 film Jurassic World Dominion, which brought Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard together with the stars of the original Jurassic Park; Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum.

In a bid to persuade advertisers their pounds and dollars are being well spent, Amazon said 52% of UK Prime Video viewers did not watch any paid-for TV, and that among these 36% spent more in the Amazon.co.uk store than the average spend of Amazon customers.
“Last year, we celebrated the news that we were bringing ads to Prime Video’s premium entertainment content in the UK,” said Phil Christer, Managing Director, Amazon Ads UK. “Now we are here to show you what that means in practice.

Amazon MGM Studios boss Jennifer Salke, Octavia Spencer and Priyanka Chopra Jonas were among the big names lauding the role of women in TV and film at a Prime Video event today.
“Women are at the core of our business – from our incredible actors, our inventive producers and our executive teams,” said Salke, at the Trailblazers event in Central London. The event saw multiple stars, producers and directors touching on issues such as pay parity and production, with several trailers and first looks also unveiled.
During a conversation with Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer, Salke said the pitch for The Help star’s untitled comedy thriller series opposite Hannah Waddingham was among the best she had heard in her career.
“I have heard thousands of pitches, maybe tens of thousands, and it was a top three — the relationship of two women at the center with action, humor and heart,” she said.

No other Star Wars project has stirred as much controversy as The Acolyte. Since Disney took over Lucasfilm, many Star Wars productions have faced fan backlash, but none compare to the level of outrage aimed at this series, which escalated into a full-blown hate campaign by self-proclaimed “true fans.”
The Acolyte won’t be returning for a second season, as Lucasfilm has confirmed its cancellation after just eight episodes. While fans had hoped for a continuation, the show’s fate is sealed. However, this report isn’t about the series’ cancellation—it’s about how it could have been better.
With an intriguing premise, The Acolyte had the potential to ignite a wave of Old Republic content leading into the Prequel Trilogy. Unfortunately, the show fell short of expectations. We believe that its potential might have been better realized if Kathleen Kennedy had entrusted the project to a different female director,...

No other Star Wars project caused so much controversy as The Acolyte. Since Disney’s takeover of Lucasfilm, numerous Star Wars projects have been targeted and criticized by the fans, but nothing compares to the level of controversy caused by this series, as it basically turned into an all-out hate campaign against the show by those calling themselves “true fans.”
As you know, The Acolyte is not getting a second season with Lucasfilm after eight episodes, and although fans had been hoping for a second season, it was recently confirmed that the series will not be coming back. But, this report won’t actually be on the fate of the series – it’s canceled and that’s that – but about how it could have been better.
The Acolyte had an intriguing premise, for sure, and it had the potential to spark a series of Old Republic shows that would lead into the Prequel Trilogy.

Fans may have been feeling they’ve had enough dinosaur movies over the past few years, but that’s simply because Chris Pratt’s Jurassic World trilogy has been rehashing the same plot, eventually veering away from the essence that made the original 1993 Jurassic Park a timeless classic.

Universal Pictures is returning to the world of dinosaurs with the fourth installment in the Jurassic World franchise. The new addition to the blockbuster action-adventure series is now officially titled Jurassic World Rebirth.
The title announcement was accompanied by two photos from the film featuring two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson, Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey (Fellow Travelers), and two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali.

Strap in, hold tight, and blast off because a new entry into the “Star Wars” universe is on approach. The latest project from Lucasfilm and Disney+, “Skeleton Crew” has been promised as an unexpected adventure that takes four younglings from the safety of their home planet and sends them on a mystifying journey through unexplored corners of the galaxy. A trailer for the series premiered at D23 on Friday, August 9 and can be viewed below.
The child cast is led by newcomers Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Kyriana Kratter as Kb, Robert Timothy Smith as Neel — a character of the same species as Max Rebo in “Return of the Jedi” — and Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern. They’re joined by Academy Award nominee Jude Law in the role of Jod Na Nawood, a force user the children encounter in a prison. Whether he proves to be on the light or dark side remains to be seen,...

Esta madrugada, durante la D23 Expo de Disney, se ha presentado el primer tráiler y póster de la nueva serie del universo Star Wars de Disney Plus+, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, que en España se titula Star Wars: Tripulación perdida.
La serie se sitúa después de los acontecimientos de Star Wars: Episodio VI – El retorno del Jedi, pero antes de la trilogía secuela, ambientándose en la misma época que The Mandalorian. Cuando cuatro niños hacen un misterioso descubrimiento en su aparentemente seguro planeta natal, se pierden en una galaxia extraña y peligrosa. Encontrar el camino de vuelta a casa y encontrarse con aliados y enemigos improbables será una aventura mayor de lo que jamás imaginaron.

Take a look here:
