It's the script, Marty! Something's gotta be done about this script!
I don’t know how watching Draft Day became an annual tradition for me. I was lukewarm on the film when I first saw in 2014, but I decided to re-watch it on a plane ride a few years back and I was far more taken with Ivan Reitman's energetic direction and Kevin Costner's sour-but-credible performance as Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr. But what really jumps out at you is how much Draft Day feels like an NFL product that begs you to get swept up in the romanticism of the NFL. The NFL …
Pre-production on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been both strange and filled with madness so far, so A+ for accuracy. The hullabaloo began when Scott Derrickson exited the director's chair over "creative differences" with Marvel, which was a bummer because Derrickson is a seriously talented filmmaker, brought Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) into the MCU back in 2016, and was hinting at a more horror-focused sequel. But then Sam Raimi was announced as Derrickson's likely replacement, which was decidedly not a bummer because he's Sam goddamned Raimi. The assumption at the time was …

As the culmination of a similar Star Wars trilogy, J.J. Abrams’ upcoming The Rise of Skywalker is already drawing comparisons with Return of the Jedi.
Avengers: Endgame screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely reveal that Captain America and the Red Skull could have teamed up.
The filmmaking process is a curious thing. When a writer or director first maps out the story for a movie and visualizes what it’s going to look like, it’s usually unrecognizable from how it eventually turns out.
