Picture Provided by Netflix Netflix is continuing to bolster its already world-class animation slate. The streamer has officially announced the global acquisition of I Am Frankelda (Soy Frankelda), a groundbreaking new stop-motion animated film slated to hit our screens on June 16th, 2026.

U.S. photographer and artist Cindy Sherman designed the poster for the 79th edition of the Locarno Film Festival, which was unveiled on Wednesday. It features a character created by Sherman, rendered in stark black and white and wrapped in a yellow leopard-spotted headscarf. The leopard is the public image of the Locarno fest, which hands out the Golden Leopard as its top prize. Reinterpreting Locarno’s iconic leopard “through her signature language of masquerade and transformation,” Sherman “pays tribute to the festival’s historical image of itself,” the fest said. “A constructed character appears in stark black and white, framed by a…

Aunt Lydia speaks! Episode 6 of The Testaments finally allowed Ann Dowd’s much-feared character to narrate The Handmaid’s Tale spin-off. And, boy, was it worth the wait. When Aunt Lydia was first introduced in Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s seminal Handmaid’s Tale novel, she favored strict discipline that was often physically punishing as a way to keep the Handmaids in line. After Boston fell at the end of the preceding series, Gilead’s leaders saw her as failing in her duties. Nevertheless, Lydia remained in a position of power… just with an adjustment about whom she oversaw. When we first see…
Chris Pratt Has Sweetest Reaction to ‘Parks and Rec’ Costar Aubrey Plaza’s Pregnancy (Exclusive)Andy still has nothing but love for April. Chris Pratt shared his reaction to news that his former Parks and Recreation costar Aubrey Plaza is pregnant with her and Christopher Abbott’s first baby. “She’s going to do great,” Pratt exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the Beverage Forum in Manhattan Beach, Calif., on April 28. “She’s going to be a fantastic mother. She’s very caring person.” And Pratt—whose character Andy Dwyer married Plaza’s April Ludgate in season three—knows the actress is in for a joyful ride after debuting…
Post-apocalyptic films, despite the global scale of their premise, work best as introspective reflections on humanity, exploring all the strengths and flaws that come with the mortal experience. While many sci-fi stories explore the adventurous aspects of surviving the end of the world — rugged survivalism, mutated creatures, and abandoned cityscapes, the most compelling stories in this genre are centered around the question of what it truly means to continue living in a world that is desolate, unforgiving, and lonely. This is a critical distinction that separates apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic movies, separating the Roland Emmerich-style disaster movies from the slower…
ABC “R.J. Decker” wrapped its first season on Tuesday, putting one mystery to bed while setting the stage for a high-stakes whodunit to play out should ABC choose to renew the drama for Season 2. (As of the finale, a decision has not been made about the show’s future.) Per Emi’s big reveal, Victor ordered Lucas to steal R.J.’s camera because its SD card contained a potentially damaging photo. Of what, you ask? That’s the mystery! Emi had given the card to Lucas for safekeeping, and R.J. volunteered to meet…
“One tiny spark becomes a night of blazing suspense!” That tagline from 1974’s The Towering Inferno could easily have been slapped on Renny Harlin’s Deep Water. Maybe combined with “You’ll Never Go in the Water Again!” from Jaws. Even The Poseidon Adventure’s classic “Hell, upside down!” might apply to a scene or two. While the director’s last studio hit, 1999’s Deep Blue Sea, shares shark DNA, the new thriller’s roots are deeply embedded in 1970s disaster movies, not least the truly dreadful Airport ’77. Or as dreadful as any movie featuring screen divinity Lee Grant and Brenda Vaccaro can be. Given that the cutoff age in…
