The legendary founder of New Line Cinema speaks to Screen Rant about A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Lord of the Rings, and his new thriller, Ambition.
Writer-director Lorene Scafaria has gone above and beyond with Hustlers. The movie could have been a winner in a sense, just by leaning heavily on the most simplistic description of the true story - “strippers seek revenge” - but instead, Scafaria fully embraces the cinematic appeal of the scenario while also challenging viewers to read between the lines and really understand the characters’ motivations.

Given the quality of his work in recent releases like It Comes at Night, Monsters and Men and then some, there’s a chance you’re familiar with the name Kelvin Harrison Jr. But if that’s not the case, it’s our honor to put the Collider Spotlight on this downright phenomenal performer.

Audiences thrilled to Netflix's scary, twisted tales of the reimagined world of Sabrina.

Few studio films have pushed the boundaries of animation in recent years the way that Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse does. Produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the creative duo behind surprising, genre-bending, and seemingly ill-advised hits like The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, the animated Spider-Man movie triumphed as the underdog superhero sensation last year and just took home for Best Animated Picture at the 91st Academy Awards. Which means it's a pretty good time to be Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsay, and Rodney Rothman -- the directorial trio that …
