While the conceit of the Suicide Squad comic is that characters traditionally drop like flies due to the inherent danger of said squad’s missions, Warner Bros.' 2016 film was actually pretty light on surprising character deaths. However, that will not be the case with writer/director James Gunn’s new take on the material, the upcoming The Suicide Squad, for which the Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker says you should be prepared to say goodbye to any of the characters at any moment. Gunn signed on to direct The Suicide Squad when he was briefly removed from Marvel’s …

On a big-budget movie, particularly one produced with tons of expectations both financially and culturally, certain creative risks have to be curtailed to make sure the train stays on the tracks and the bottom line stays where it needs to be. But the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems to be determined to buck this trend, giving directors like Taika Waititi and Ryan Coogler ample room to make the movie they want to make, personalized styles and all. And based on a Hollywood Reporter interview with Eternals director Chloé Zhao, this MCU style of "letting directors be" seems to be continuing. …

With the upcoming award season shining a spotlight on exceptional programming and performances, even though there are a lot of TV shows and various networks and streaming services with countless shows to choose from, there are still some real stand-outs.

June 19, 2020 is Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the last emancipation of enslaved Black people in Texas. On this day, a group of incredible creatives known as Black Artists for Freedom released a list of demands and action items to elicit change in the cultural systems that can either help propagate white supremacy, or help dismantle it. "Culture alone cannot fix systemic racism," says the group in their official statement. "But culture is strongly connected to racism's material effects, and the representation of Black people in the media has long been used to justify the violence against us. Racist …

The Caped Crusader's latest composer speaks out.

Can't. Wait.

When it comes to iconic film franchises, Batman is unique in the sense that there's not really one musical theme that defines the character. Sure, there are plenty of cues that immediately conjure the caped crusader to mind, but from Neil Hefi's groovy TV theme to Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, and all the animated adventures in between, Batman's sound has evolved with each new incarnation. The next composer to take the mantle is Michael Giacchino, who's re-teaming with director Matt Reeves after their work on Let Me In and the last two Planet of the …

With The Expanse moving from Syfy to Amazon, the creative team now has the artistic freedom to help the show become a truer version of itself.

J.J. Abrams wasn’t supposed to direct Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, so perhaps that’s why he felt more freedom to change up his style and get a bit looser with his approach to the Star Wars franchise. Originally, Colin Trevorrow was set to direct Rise of Skywalker (and still earned a “story by” credit), but when he departed over creative differences, Lucasfilm lured Abrams back to the franchise. The Star Trek filmmaker has admitted that he felt daunted by the challenge of making The Force Awakens, with the weight of not only setting up a new …
