It’s April, which means that the Duffer Brothers‘ decade-long tenure at Netflix has come to an end and they are moving to Paramount with a four-year, exclusive deal for feature films, television, and streaming projects. Paramount wasted no time showing off the Stranger Things creators in the studio’s glitzy, big-budget mini-movie celebrating its movie history and looking at the future. The elaborate promo, directed by Wicked‘s Jon M. Chu and narrated by Tom Cruise, was shown Wednesday at the top of Paramount’s presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas and hours later at the start of the company’s upfront presentation in…
TVLINE | What was the hardest part of competing in Season 50, and was “50” more difficult than Triple H (“Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers”)?They were totally different.

Literally, what am I doing here?” So, I would say the physical aspects, really just the…
But Affleck and Garner are very supportive of each other and remain close after going through a lot to get to this place in their relationship. “You have to be smart about what you can and can’t handle, and I could not handle what was ‘out there,'” Garner, who’s turning 54 on April 17, told Marie Claire U.K. earlier this year, referring to what was said about their split when it was happening. But it wasn’t the stories that were hard, she continued, “The fact of it is what was hard. The actual breaking up of a family is what…

The casting of James Bond is one of the most highly debated subjects among cinephiles, as the character has proven to be among the most long-lasting screen protagonists of all-time.

A leaked audition tape showed Henry Cavill making…
At this point in the run of the Netflix thriller Fake Profile, we get the feeling that creator Pablo Illanes and his writers are throwing possible plotlines into a bowl, picking them out at random, and using those plots to create the new season. This third season is subtitled “Killer Honeymoon,” but more than ever, whatever passes for plot feels more like filler in between steamy sex scenes than anything else. FAKE PROFILE SEASON 3: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT? Opening Shot: We see Camila Román (Carolina Miranda) dancing at her club. Then a shot rings out and Camila goes…

She premiered her fiction feature debut, Don’t Let the Sun, at the Locarno Film Festival last year, bringing us a near-future-set cinematic contemplation of how external factors, namely climate change, affect and shape our inner worlds. Now, Zünd is getting ready to world premiere a film that dives into the same themes in a different, namely documentary, and very provocative form.
