HBO Max has unveiled the first trailer for The Flight Attendant, a new limited series murder mystery thriller that will debut in November and complete its run in December. The series stars Kaley Cuoco as a flight attendant who wakes up after a one-night stand to find that the man she met (played by Haunting of Hill House star Michiel Huisman) had his throat slashed. Instead of immediately calling the police, however, she covers it up, which sets into motion a thriller in which she’s trying to find the killer while also trying to avoid suspicion. The trailer …
Where the Crawdads Sing is a literary phenomenon. Written by Delia Owens, the novel spins a murder-mystery yarn set in rural North Carolina, while also sensitively exploring a coming-of-age narrative and cutting between multiple timelines. Reese Witherspoon loved it so much, she made it an official selection of her "Reese's Book Club," and is now attached to produce the film adaptation. Now, Witherspoon's film adaptation of the beloved book has found its director. [caption id="attachment_913371" align="alignright" width="350"] Image via Netflix[/caption] Per The Hollywood Reporter, Olivia Newman will be directing Where the …
Phil Lord and Chris Miller -- or should I say Chris Miller and Phil Lord this time -- have set up a new murder mystery comedy series at Apple, the streamer announced Wednesday. The eight-episode series is titled The Afterparty, which is fitting, seeing as it's set at a high school reunion afterparty. I've had a couple of high school reunions, but I don't remember any afterparties since most attendees had young kids at home, but maybe I just wasn't cool enough to score an invite. Anyway, each episode of The Afterparty will retell the night's …
HBO has released the full trailer for Perry Mason, a remake of the classic legal drama with Emmy-winner Matthew Rhys taking over the title role. Set during a Great Depression-era Los Angeles where Evangelical fervor is heating up and talkies are still making people faint in the aisles, the series will see the iconic defense lawyer taking on a kidnapping gone horribly wrong. Put Matthew Rhys in a shabby trenchcoat and wide-brimmed hat and you've pretty much got my attention right off the bat, but this actually looks great. I'm not sure how many people …
Nicole Kidman and David E. Kelley are teaming up for a sexy HBO murder mystery, centered on an affluent circle of stylish, successful, and oh-so gossipy private school moms in a rattled world of wealth glamour. Sound familiar? It's not another season of Big Little Lies, but the creator and co-star of the breakout HBO reuniting for a new juicy thriller with The Undoing. Kidman stars as Grace Fraser, one of those women who seem to have it all, with a respected career as a therapist, a loving husband (Hugh Grant) who's a pediatric cancer doctor, …
Rian Johnson's Knives Out pays tribute to murder mystery classics by including Easter eggs that refer to various mystery films and detective stories.
The filmmaker didn’t break out his book and film collection ahead of time.
"I made a crazy risk, a gamble, and it’s about to pay off."
Did you watch at least three minutes of the Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston two-hander comedy Murder Mystery? Then it should come as no surprise that the film reportedly topped the list of everything released on Netflix in 2019, beating out titles like Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, the third season of Stranger Things, and the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Now, a few quick caveats, because Netflix's viewership data needs to be taken with such a heaping dose of salt it could technically kill someone with low enough blood pressure. The streamer's …
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston's comedy Murder Mystery tops the list of Netflix's most popular movies and TV shows that debuted in 2019.
Knives Out has renewed interest in murder mystery movies. And we have 5 past movies that are deemed the best and 5 that are deemed the worst.
Joe Hill knows his way around a comic book. So do the folks at IDW. The two have famously collaborated on a number of projects, past, present, and future, including the acclaimed Locke & Key. Now, the acclaimed author and the maverick comics publisher are teaming up once again for an all new series: Dying Is Easy. And they've done a bang-up job so far. Decidedly different from the magical mayhem of Locke & Key, Dying Is Easy centers on Syd “Shit-Talk” Homes, a disgraced ex-cop, bitter stand-up comic and wanted felon who finds himself …
Two years after literally burning the legacy of the past in his controversial Star Wars: The Last Jedi (my take? It’s the best Star Wars. No further questions), celebrated filmmaker Rian Johnson is returning to theatres with an enjoyably throwback, aggressively entertaining film. Yes, Knives Out is still interested in dissecting the mechanics of the mystery genre, just as The Last Jedi dissected Star Wars and Brick dissected film noir. But Knives Out, which drops in theatres November 27, 2019, is likely Johnson’s most purely pleasing picture, suffused with a sense of gleeful love for the genre. Johnson …
