The BBC Show Jodie Whittaker Left for Doctor Who Will Make Her Timey-Wimey Absence Part of Its Story

When you trade being one doctor for another, there’s bound to be some jokes, but Trust Me—the medical thriller that previously starred Jodie Whittaker before a big blue box came calling—is actually going to drop some playful nods to her Who-based exit, and also, weirdly, make Doctor Who part of its story. The first season…

Claire Denis’ High Life Gets Lost in the Void of Its Own Imagination

Going by the trailer for Claire Denis’ High Life, you’d get the impression that the film was an unsettling science-future thriller about criminals launched into space believing themselves to be on an important mission to investigate a black hole—when in reality, they’re the subjects of twisted reproductive experiments. In reality, the movie is about prison.…

Rian Johnson Is OK With the Possibility of Star Wars: Episode IX Retconning The Last Jedi

How do we put this delicately? Some of the decisions Rian Johnson made in Star Wars: The Last Jedi…rubbed people the wrong way. The handling of Luke Skywalker, Rey’s lineage, the fate of Snoke, all of these things instantly became lightning rods of debate and continue to be just that. Some fans even hope the…

Cloak & Dagger‘s Second Season Is Off to a Blindingly Good Start

Cloak & Dagger’s first season featured a grand, but predictable, comic book-y plot, but the real draw of the show was the thoughtful characterization that came from the time the series spent focusing on Tyrone and Tandy’s lives as “regular” young people. Despite their racial differences and disparate economic statuses, they were both struggling to…

If you’re going to see Shazam in IMAX theaters this weekend, you’re getting a Godzilla-shaped surprise. Netflix wants its own gay James Bond in a new LGBTQ spy-fi animated series.

Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke Are Writing a New Pan’s Labyrinth Novel

As much as Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth is a fantasy/horror film about a young girl dealing with the psychological trauma of living through war, it’s also a dark, mesmerizing fairytale about fantastical creatures and realms that exist beyond the bounds of human imagination. Now, more than a decade after the film’s release, the world…

Few movies on the upcoming slate have everyone as curious as Sonic the Hedgehog does.

Rise of the Machines, Salvation, and Genysis do not exist. Paramount’s upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate is a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Judgment Day alone, which raises a lot of questions considering that film ended with John Connor alive, the T-800 Terminator gone, and the world all but saved.
