The Star Wars Prequels Hid Quite a Few Famous Actors

The Star Wars prequel trilogy itself didn’t launch a lot of its actors into stardom.

Bright 2 Might Be Directed by the Man Behind Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

It might not be the Netflix sequel we’d like to see him tackle, but Louis Leterrier is probably going to make Bright 2.

Netflix’s CEO Believes Critics Trashed Bright Because They’re Out of Touch

There’s a cornucopia of things to dislike about Netflix’s orc cop movie Bright like the writing, the plot, and the way it literally uses demons as stand-ins for people of color to make a point about systemic racism. But from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings’ perspective, the only people who weren’t really here for the film…

Netflix Is Officially Making a Sequel to Bright But Leaving One Player Behind

There’s a moment early into Netflix’s Bright, a cop movie that tries to blend social commentary about race with high fantasy, where Will Smith’s character beats a fairy to death with a broom while saying “fairy lives don’t matter.” Bright was not a good movie, but apparently, Netflix wants a sequel. According to The Hollywood…

The Orc Cop Movie Bright Messily Drags Tolkien Into the Modern Age

David Ayer’s Bright is incredibly ambitious. Too ambitious, in fact. It’s an avalanche of conflicting movie ideas all jammed into one. Some of them are fascinating, others familiar, and a few are downright awful. The result is a off-putting hodgepodge that never comes together, but isn’t wholly without its merits. Bright is set in what…

In the Latest Bright Trailer, a Magical Gang War Breaks Out

The third and presumably final trailer for David Ayer’s urban fantasy film Bright leans a little more in on the buddy cop nature of the film, which just so happens to also co-star a giant orcish police officer.

Does Midnight Special Really Live Up To Its Spielberg Roots? Yes and No

Midnight Special, the fourth film from popular indie director Jeff Nichols, feels like the offspring of Steven Spielberg’s two scifi classics, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Midnight Special Could Be the Steven Spielberg-Influenced Sci-Fi Film We’ve Been Waiting For

Starman, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind. They’re all films that director Jeff Nichols cites as influences for his upcoming sci-fi film Midnight Special. And you can see that Eighties/Steven Spielberg influence both in the first image and poster released from the film. Midnight Special stars Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst as the parents…
