This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s Moon Knight episode 4.

Hmm, we thought we had it all figured out! We thought Moon Knight had settled into its groove as a globe-trotting adventure series in the vein of Indiana Jones or The Mummy. Sure, the show certainly had more mysteries to unravel, including Marc’s connection to Layla’s father and the third personality vexing him and Steven. And we expected that the show might jump from the Cairo setting of episodes three and four, in the same way it jumped from the London of episodes one and two, but we didn’t think the next location would be a mental hospital.

Thirty-five minutes into Moon Knight episode four “The Tomb,” Arthur Harrow shoots Marc and watches him sink into a golden pool of water. When Marc awakes, he finds himself in a clean, white mental hospital. In an unbroken one-shot,...

Whoopi Goldberg and Danielle Deadwyler will star in Chinonye Chukwu’s upcoming film “Till,” about Mamie Till-Mobley’s fight for justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Louis Till.

Deadwyler will portray Mamie Till-Mobley, while Goldberg is set to play Till’s grandmother, Alma Carthan. Goldberg will also serve as a producer on the project, for MGM’s Orion Pictures, alongside Keith Beauchamp, Barbara Broccoli, Thomas K. Levine, Michael Jp Reilly and Frederick Zollo.

“We have waited a very long time to bring this historically necessary important film to people,” Goldberg said. “And as we watch the repression of American History when it comes to people of color it makes it even that more important. I couldn’t be with better people: Fred, Barbara, Chinonye, Keith, Michael and Danielle.”

Deadwyler, who is best known for her role in HBO’s “Watchmen,” said of being cast in the film, “It is a...

Regina King has been tapped to direct “Bitter Root,” a film adaptation of the Harlem Renaissance-set comic book series.

Along with directing, King will produce the movie for Legendary Pictures. Additional producers include “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian of Proximity Media.

The comic book creators, David F. Walker, Sanford Green and Chuck Brown, will executive produce the film adaptation with Drapetomedia’s Sean Owolo.

Set during the vibrant Harlem Renaissance of 1924, “Bitter Root” follows a fractured family of once-great monster hunters who face an unimaginable evil that descends upon New York City. For generations, the Sangeryes have hunted and cured those infected by a supernatural force that feeds off the prejudice of the era, transforming humans into monsters. With most of the kin dead, the surviving Sangeryes have the unenviable choice to save or kill the creatures in hopes of thwarting an invasion.

Fanboy heaven or hell. Which is it? How many hours, precisely, do you want to spend with Superman and Batman and a bunch of other superfigures in a world where all humor has been banned and portentous droning music is played ceaselessly with no off-switch available? Whose superhero movies do you prefer, the heavy, ponderous ones of Zack Snyder or the untidy, playful ones of Joss Whedon? Which will it be? Judgment Day has arrived for Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

Whatever the verdict, the biggest victory was won by the die-hard fans. In the wake of widespread dissatisfaction with the aesthetic hodgepodge and financial shortfall of the 2017 Justice League, the customary Hollywood...

Scad Savannah Film Festival prides itself on involving the students at Savannah College of Art and Design in almost every aspect of its annual event, from welcoming talent on the red carpet to weighing in on cinematic programming. This year, while the fest, running Oct. 24-31, goes virtual in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, this tradition of inclusion remains alive and well. Just as they were in pre-covid America, Scad students are integral to the fest’s collective sense of diversity and community.

“I really appreciate the festival for consciously including content and guest speakers with diverse backgrounds,” says Elina Itugot, a junior pursuing a Bfa in film and television. “I cannot stress enough how important it is to see people like yourself represented and recognized in the industry, especially as a young filmmaker. As a 20-year-old, queer, non-binary, Filipino immigrant filmmaker with mental illness, I find it very...

HBO is developing a limited series about the rise of SpaceX, Elon Musk’s private rocket company that is in the midst of reviving the United States’ space aspirations.

Produced by Channing Tatum’s Free Association, the six-episode series would tells the story of Musk as he handpicks a team of engineers to work on a remote Pacific Island where they build, and launch, the first manned SpaceX rocket into orbit — the Falcon 9 — on May 30, 2020.

The project will be penned by Star Trek Beyond scribe Doug Jung based on Ashlee Vance’s book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, first published in 2017. Free Association’s Tatum, Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan will executive produce with Vance and Len Amato, HBO’s former President Of HBO Films, Miniseries & Cinemax.

Emmy recognition for female directors was a long, long time coming. The playing field is a bit more level but has a long way to go. Eght of the 20 nominees for directing in the comedy series, drama series, and movie/limited series categories are women.

The first Emmy for outstanding directing was handed out in 1955 to Franklin Schaffner for the “Studio One” live drama “Twelve Angry Men” (he won an Oscar 15 years later for helming Best Picture champ “Patton”). It wasn’t until 30 years later that a woman director was even nominated in that category. Karen Arthur made history again when she won an Emmy for the “Heat” episode of CBS’ “Cagney & Lacey.” It was the only nomination and win for this prolific TV helmer.

The flood gates didn’t exactly open after Arthur’s win. More women were nominated in this category, but it took another decade for...

With voting for this year’s Emmy nominations coming into the final stretch, today’s episode of our Deadline weekly podcast, TV Talk, once again dives into a handicap of some key races, in this case for Best Limited Series and Best Movie Made for Television. Among top contenders in the uber-crowded Limited Series race are so many top quality productions that TV Critic Dominic Patten has his own list, and Awards Columnist and Chief Film Critic Pete Hammond has his. Will there be room for both?

Patten mentions HBO’s Watchman and The Plot Against America among is leading contenders while Hammond touts Mrs. America, Defending Jacob, and Hollywood even teasing what his own Emmy votes were in the rich category that includes such worthy contenders as Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere and Normal People, Netflix’s Unorthodox, Unbelievable, and the under-buzzed The Eddy, HBO’s longer shot I Know This Much Is True,...

Like many younger fans of the Doors, Leah Moore was intoxicated by their aura, their mystery, when she was a teen. The comics writer recalls being introduced to the band via 1987’s The Lost Boys, particularly the Jim Morrison poster the vampire teens kept in their cave. Then, in 1992, she convinced her physics teachers to take her class to visit Morrison’s grave during a class jaunt to Paris.

“The Hunt,” Universal and Blumhouse’s satirical political thriller that was marred by controversy before it even saw the light of day, is finally making its way to theaters and will be released on March 13.

The film, depicting a group of elites that hunt ordinary Americans for sport, was initially set to debut last September. But the studio suspended the marketing campaign in wake of mass shootings in Texas, Ohio and California, and ultimately pulled the movie from its slate.

Prior to “The Hunt” being shelved, President Donald Trump criticized the film on Twitter. Though he didn’t mention the movie by name, he took aim at “liberal Hollywood.” “The movie coming out is made in order to inflame and cause chaos,” he wrote on Aug. 9, a day before “The Hunt” was scrapped. “They create their own violence, and then try to blame others. They are the true Racists, and...

Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations will be announced Wednesday morning, and streaming services are expected to dominate the conversation .

This year’s SAG Awards contenders include Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story,” Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” on the film side.

On the TV front, shows like “The Crown” with Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter, and “Game of Thrones” starring Peter Dinklage are expected to nab nominations. “Killing Eve” with Jodie Comer, “Fleabag” starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge and “Big Little Lies” toplined by Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon are also in the running.

“Superstore” star America Ferrera and “Black Panther’s” Danai Gurira were on hand Wednesday morning at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles to announce nominees for the SAG Awards, the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists’ annual celebration of the year’s best TV and film.

The four Golden Globe nominations for Joker are a nod to how far comic book cinema has come in terms of big-screen relevance and critical acclaim. But the shrug-and-snub that greeted HBO’s wildly ambitious Watchmen series (as well as Amazon’s ultra-violent The Boys) shows how little traction the cape-and-mask crowd have in the universe of respected television drama.

The artistic relevance of superhero fare has been a front-and-center topic for years now. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008) was the first comic book adaptation to win an Academy Award in an acting category but it’s failure to earn a best picture nomination prompted the Academy to widen...

The American Film Institute has announced the recipients of the AFI Awards for 2019, the top ten films and TV shows “deemed culturally and artistically representative of this year’s most significant achievements in the art of the moving image.”

Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” was honored with an AFI Special Award along with “Fleabag,” both works which fell outside the organization’s criteria for American content.

Among the films recognized were: Sam Mendes’ World War I drama “1917,” “Joker” and Taika Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit.” Of the 10 films, two were directed by women: Greta Gerwig’s retelling of the Louisa May Alcott classic “Little Women” and Lulu Wang’s “The Farewell.”

In TV, HBO’s “Chernobyl,” “Game of Thrones,” “Succession” and “Watchmen” all were chosen in the TV programs of the year. Ava DuVernay’s series telling the story of the Exonerated Central Park Five, “When They See Us” was...

Before you watch the second episode of Watchman tonight on HBO, I’ve got a video here worth checking out. It comes from ScreenCrush and it points our and discusses 83 Easter eggs and references from the first episode of the series. After watching this, I realized that there’s a lot of stuff that I didn’t catch while watching the show! So maybe you’ll learn something new today about the series and how it connects to the original Watchmen mythos.

Learn about the legacy #Rorshach left behind, how #NiteOwl influenced the future, and how #PresidentRedford figures into all of this. 30 years later, is #Veidt a failure or a success? When will #DrManhattan return? And how does Rogers and Hammerstein's #Oklahoma! fir into all this?...

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have shared the full end credits music for HBO series Watchman via Nine Inch Nails’ YouTube channel.

The ambient, pulsating track, which played for two minutes at the end of Sunday’s premiere episode, clocks in at nearly five minutes in total. The video includes the original credits and then extends the track, which veers into cacophonic, experimental territory toward the end.

The Oscar-winning composition duo will release three volumes of music for Watchman, with the first volume coming on November 4th. Volume Two is...

Discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency in The King's Man.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, The King's Man comes to theaters February 2020. This Kingsman prequel invites fans to discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency through the eyes of one man (Ralph Fiennes) who must race against time to stop a collection of history's worst tyrants and criminal masterminds who gather to plot a war to wipe out millions.

While we will sadly be saying good-bye to HBO’s “Game Of Thrones” we have now learned that “Westworld” will be re-opening in 2020, which definitely gives us something to look forward to next year. It is a fairly long time to wait, but we are sure that it is going to be well worth it in the end!

In an interview with Deadline, HBO’s president Casey Bloys confirmed that the series will not be back until 2020, but did not reveal any additional details about the direction of the upcoming season which is currently being filmed.

We have also learned that there will be two new humans (non-robot) joining the series with Lena Waithe and Aaron Paul, who recently confessed to being a huge fan of the series since season one and teased his role as being “dangerous and gory”.

HBO has ordered a third season of Bill Hader's half-hour hitman dramedy Barry. Get all of the news on Barry Season 3 here!

HBO’s Barry, which we named our favorite new show in 2018 and recently wrapped its excellent second season, will live to see a third season, Variety reports.

Starring Bill Hader as an assassin, who in the midst of an existential crisis, turns to acting, Barry is a tragicomic powerhouse, able to elicit laughs with zany characters like Anthony Carrigan’s NoHank and Emmy-winner Henry Winkler’s Gene Cousineau, while delivering gut-punches and unglamorous violence at a steady clip. In the second season, Barry tries to more fully integrate himself into the acting world while his past, and his own conscious, continue to haunt him.

Barry’s second, eight-episode season concluded in May, following last year’s eight-episode order. It’s safe to assume that...
