Quentin Tarantino will write a novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and a nonfiction book about the movies of the 1970s.
Disney+ has released a new (and somehow even more stunning) trailer for Black Is King. The visual album comes from Beyoncé, who wrote, directed, and executive produced. Black Is King is based on the music of her album The Lion King: The Gift, made for 2019's live-action The Lion King which she co-starred in alongside Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Oliver, and Alfre Woodard.

Hot on the heels of the release of Todd Haynes’ Dark Waters, in comes director Andrew Levitas’ second feature film, Minamata. As another movie based on a true story that involves the little guy going up against a major corporation, it’s impossible not to draw comparisons to Dark Waters and perhaps one of the most well known of the bunch, Erin Brockovich. But, the multitude of films covering similar situations seems necessary for two reasons. First off, I knew little to nothing about Minamata disease; clearly there’s a need to raise awareness. And secondly, having multiple movies covering …
Here's our first look at Timothée Chalamet as protagonist Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve's retelling of Dune.
The last time we saw an English-language feature film adaptation of Jane Austen's comedy Emma was 1996's version with rising star Gwyneth Paltrow in the title role. 24 years later we now have Autumn de Wilde's Emma.(not sure why it needed a period, but there it is) with rising star Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role. Rather than go for an aggressive modernization, de Wilde and screenwriter Eleanor Catton manage to wrangle a new angle on the character that balances her growing romance with Mr. Knightley (Johnny Flynn) with a story about the importance …
A24 has released the first trailer for The Green Knight. Director David Lowery is back at the helm of a feature film he also penned, this time breathing new life into the 700-year-old Arthurian legend of Gawain and the Green Knight. The Green Knight stars Dev Patel as Gawain, Ralph Ineson as the Green Knight, and Joel Edgerton, Alicia Vikander, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, and Barry Keoghan in supporting roles. The Green Knight trailer is giving off major vibes in both the look and tone of the works related to two of A24's favorite sons: Ari Aster …
There's something oddly callow about Liz Garbus' adaptation of Robert Kolker's non-fiction book Lost Girls. Adaptation is always tricky, and Kolker's story tries to examine the larger consequences of a case surrounding the disappearances and deaths of five sex workers in Long Island. A movie, especially one that took the route of a feature adaptation rather than a docu-series, would have to find a way to focus its narrative, but Lost Girls always seems to miss the bigger picture. While it has an interesting angle about one mother's anger and determination to find out …
Director Oz Perkins puts a grimmer spin on the famous German fairy tale in the new trailer for his upcoming horror movie, Gretel & Hansel.
Before watching Greta Gerwig’s new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel Little Women, I sat down with Gillian Armstrong’s 1994 adaptation. This was helpful in getting the plot beats of the story, but also seeing how much Gerwig leaves her own stamp on the material. Armstrong’s version is good for what it is, but it feels a bit like visiting a historical preservation site. Everything is pristine with signs off to the side saying “Do not touch.” Gerwig goes for a more immediate approach, carefully walking the line between period picture and anachronistic update. This tightrope …
IT's Sophia Lillis plays Gretel in the trailer for the upcoming horror movie retelling of the German folklore story, Gretel and Hansel.
