It may be hard to think of the famous King Kong as anything but a giant, scary gorilla, but the character has also always been a metaphor. As Quentin Tarantino had a character point out in one of the best scenes in "Inglourious Basterds," Kong's basic story is a clear parallel for the plight of enslaved people taken to the U.S.
That might sound like a progressive allegory, as the chaos Kong wreaks on New York could be seen as karmic justice for the U.S.' history of racism and slavery, but the execution was pretty questionable. There've been decades of debate over whether Kong's story is a critique of racism or an endorsement of it. "This is, again, a big, Black man -- right? -- a big, black ape who is absolutely obsessed with whiteness and particularly white women," said media studies professor Robin R. Means Coleman in a 2017 NPR interview.

The internet sure was riled up by those first images of Bill Skarsgård (It) as Eric Draven in Lionsgate’s remake of The Crow a couple weeks back, with even the original movie’s director (Alex Proyas) chiming in and taking a jab at Draven’s “bad hair day.” But it’s not fair to judge movies based solely on a couple of random images. That’s what official trailers are for.
Bill Skarsgård takes over the iconic role of Eric Draven in Lionsgate’s new reboot of The Crow, and Lionsgate has unleashed the upcoming movie’s full official trailer this morning.
The Crow reboot will release in theaters on June 7. Watch the trailer below, which promises a new take on the classic tale that definitely isn’t holding back the bloody violence.

One thing that's a near-constant throughout the films of Michael Mann (besides the stylish visuals and no-nonsense action) is his exploration of complex characters; some of them anti-heroes, and some flat-out villains. Some characters in his movies are violent and evil criminals, sure, but he's also happy to make characters who might usually be antagonists into protagonists. This is apparent as early as his debut feature film, Thief, where James Caan plays the film's main character: a somewhat likable (though still flawed) master thief.

Epic Mickey 3 is desired by fans, but creator Warren Spector's day job makes his involvement impossible for now. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remake of the original game, fixing control issues and adding new features. It will debut this year. In the meantime, fans can enjoy Disney Illusion Island for platforming fun with modern Disney characters like Mickey and friends.
Epic Mickey director Warren Spector discusses whether a third game is possible. Epic Mickey may not be remembered as fondly as classic games like Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, but the 2010 action-platformer has established a decent cult following since its release. With its darker take Disney's iconic mascot, it stood out against other Mickey Mouse games, and while it may have received mixed reviews, the response was solid enough that a sequel, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, was released in 2012.

As attention turns to the Oscars around this time every year, it’s easy to get caught up remembering some of the big winners. One of the most notable champs was The Silence of the Lambs, which took home the “Big Five” awards in 1992: Best Picture, Best Actor (Anthony Hopkins), Best Actress (Jodie Foster), Best Director (Jonathan Demme), and Best Adapted Screenplay (Ted Tally), as well as Best Sound Mixing and Best Film Editing to round it out.
And despite owning the film rights to works of author Thomas Harris, super-producer Dino De Laurentiis saw none of that windfall, be it Oscar gold or box office riches. How could a savvy Hollywood player, responsible for making some of the most important movies of all time, make such a wild mistake?

Warning! This article includes major spoilers for Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief book and Percy Jackson season 1, episode 8!
The identity of the thief who stole Zeus' Master Bolt is a shocking twist in Percy Jackson's journey, with the mystery still being important to the show's conflicts. The Master Bolt is first seen in Percy Jackson episode 7, as Ares put the bolt in Percy's backpack. Luke Castellan, introduced as the claimed son of Hermes, is revealed as the person who stole the Master Bolt in the book, and his motivations stem from his resentment towards the gods and influences from Kronos.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ TV show ultimately stays faithful to the book regarding the shocking twist of who stole Zeus’ Master Bolt, proving various characters' theories wrong. Though book readers or those who have seen the 2010 Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief movie already know the thief’s identity,...

Did Embracer Group get too big, too soon? We chart the rise and financial turmoil of one of the videogames industry’s giants.
In the spring of 2022, Embracer Group was a games industry colossus, with its market valuation sitting at almost $10bn. By this point, the Swedish company owned some of the biggest properties and studios around, having recently purchased the rights to the likes of Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and Thief from Japan’s Square Enix, as well as several studios involved in making them, including Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal.
The firm also had a wealth of other major names crowded under its banner, including rights to The Lord Of The Rings, comic book publisher Dark Horse Media, Gearbox Software, creators of the Borderlands series, and Asmodee, a publisher of card and tabletop games.

Review: Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson) make a triumphant return to Sundance with one of the festival’s most energetic offerings in years. Mixing a Tarantino-style crime tale with high-octane action, Boden and Fleck use the bag of tricks they earned working for the MCU (Captain Marvel) to deliver an unexpected smash.

Aryan Simhadri, who plays Grover, will also have to deal with discomfort from special effects, such as wearing a mo-cap suit for his satyr character.

Starting with 1981’s Thief — the opening moments of which feature James Caan’s tough guy ex-con Frank driving a Cadillac Eldorado through the rain-soaked Chicago streets at night — cars have always played an indelible role in Michael Mann’s films, establishing the tone and acting as framing devices for his characters and a way into their psyche.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Mann spoke about the prominent role that cars have played in his movies over his four-decade career. The reason? “It’s not cars because I like cars,” he notes. It’s about adding a certain subtext to a character’s motivation and Mann’s influence — the way he literally changed the visual poetics of cars on film — dates back to Thief, his first feature.

Michael Mann's film Ferrari has been met with disappointing box-office results, making it his least commercially successful film in over 35 years. The release of Ford v Ferrari in 2019, which received critical acclaim and commercial success, may have hurt the box-office performance of Ferrari due to perceived similarities. The failure of Ferrari highlights Michael Mann's struggle to consistently attract a large audience to his films, despite his reputation as a filmmaker.
The biographical sports drama film Ferrari marks Michael Mann’s first feature directorial outing since the 2015 action thriller film Blackhat, which became one of the biggest box-office flops of the past decade but has, like so many of Mann’s films, gained an enthusiastic following over time.

The Christmas and New Year's box office capped off 2023 with a hefty unexpected bounty. Despite not having a single outright mega-blockbuster hit like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" or "Avatar: The Way of Water" like 2021 and 2022 had, the overall final frame of the year was big enough to push the final domestic tally for the year past the $9 billion mark. A unique aspect of the most recent week was that we had a slew of movies -- "Wonka," "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," "The Color Purple," and "Migration," among others -- carrying the load. The love was spread around, which was very nice to see. Unfortunately, that love did not extend to Michael Mann's "Ferrari," which now finds itself in a precarious situation financially.

Often cited as one of the most influential filmmakers of his generation, Michael Mann is a storyteller of nearly unrivaled ambition. While Mann’s early career was defined by his groundbreaking work within the crime genre, including the James Caan crime classic Thief, the later half of his career saw Mann working on many large-scale historical epics. Between the historical adventure drama The Last of the Mohicans, the espionage thriller The Insider, and the acclaimed sports biopic Ali, Mann showed an unparalleled ability to capture specific eras in history. Although Mann nearly worked on a sword-and-sandals epic with George Clooney, their presumptive project Gates of Fire unfortunately never saw the light of day.

Director Michael Mann has made several of the greatest action movies ever made, ranked here from worst to best. Mann's film "Ferrari" is a dramatized biopic about Enzo Ferrari and features Adam Driver in the lead role. "Heat" is considered Mann's most iconic and culturally influential film, setting the stage for a potential sequel in the future.
Director Michael Mann has made several of the greatest action movies ever made, ranked here from worst to best. With the recent release of his celebrated Ferarri starring Adam Driver, it is somewhat surprising that the acclaimed director only has a total of twelve feature films under his belt as a director. Ferarri is the first film that Mann has directed since 2015's Blackhat, which is arguably one of his weakest efforts as a director. The 80-year-old director and producer was an executive producer on the 2018 hit Ford v. Ferrari, which was one of the year's best films.

Annabeth's mother, Athena, will not appear in season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians due to the show's commitment to staying faithful to the books. Author Rick Riordan discussed the possibility of Athena making a cameo appearance, but ultimately decided there wasn't enough room to do it justice. The show's focus on faithfulness to the books means that certain characters, like Athena, will be saved for future seasons.
Annabeth's mother will not be appearing in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1. Based on Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, season 1 will depict Percy's quest to discover which scheming villain stole Zeus' prized lightning bolt. Joining him on his quest are his friends, Annabeth and Grover. While Grover is a terrified satyr, Annabeth is the daughter of the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena.
Though she has close ties to Annabeth, Rick Riordan revealed that Athena will not be appearing...

Andre Braugher’s cause of death has been revealed to be lung cancer, his rep has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Braugher died Monday at 61 after what his rep then said was a “brief illness.”
He starred as master interrogator Det. Frank Pembleton on NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street for the first six seasons of the show’s acclaimed run, then played another cop, Capt. Raymond Holt — this time against type and for laughs — on the 2013-21 Fox-nbc sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
He won his first Emmy in 1998 for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for Homicide after a season that featured one of its most memorable episodes, “Subway.” That was a two-hander in which Pembleton tries to unearth whether a man (Vincent D’Onofrio) pinned between a Baltimore subway train and the platform was pushed onto the track — while also trying to comfort him in his dying moments.

Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy winner who died this week at the age of 61, was an unknown when the hardboiled NBC detective drama “Homicide: Life on the Street” debuted in the coveted post-Super Bowl time slot on Jan. 31, 1993. He left the series six years later as an in-demand leading man who went on to star in TV series include FX’s “Thief,” TNT’s “Men of a Certain Age,” Fox/NBC’s “Brooklyn Nine Nine,” in addition to many other prominent roles.
But it started with his years on “Homicide.” Braugher played Detective Frank Pembleton, one of the most unforgettable characters that television has ever produced, thanks to the brilliance of executive producers Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson and Jim Finnerty and a murderers row of a writers room. The stellar supporting cast alongside included Ned Beatty, Melissa Leo and Yaphet Kotto.

Obituaries are never easy to write, but this one hits particularly hard given the feeling of so much great work still to come: Andre Braugher, who made a name for himself playing a variety of authority figures in dramas and comedies has died following a brief illness. He was just 61.
André Keith Braugher was born in Chicago in 1962. The prodigious student attended the prestigious St. Ignatius College Prep in his hometown, then earned a BA from Stanford University and a master*s degree from Juilliard — he received scholarships to all three schools.
He considered medicine as a career but saw performing as more exciting. His initial work, as with so many others, was on the stage, in Public Theater Shakespeare in the Park productions in New York City, playing parts in various productions over the years.

The first time I interviewed Andre Braugher, he was uncertain and uncomfortable. It was hard to process, coming from an actor who had made certitude into his calling card. Braugher was righteous and righteously correct or he was nothing, but it took the courage and conviction of an Andre Braugher character to shift that image as wildly and vividly as the actor did in the last third of his career.
It was the fall of 2014, just weeks after the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards. With two earlier wins already to his credit, Braugher had been nominated for the first season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, his first nod in a comedy category. His performance as Capt. Raymond Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine was rooted in the years he’d spent playing stern authority figures, but at the same time, this version of the Braugher persona seemed revelatory.

Andre Braugher, the dynamic actor known for his outstanding work on such shows as Homicide: Life on the Street and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, has died. He was 61.
Braugher died Monday after a brief illness, his longtime rep Jennifer Allen told The Hollywood Reporter. The cause of death turned out to be lung cancer.
Braugher starred as master interrogator Det. Frank Pembleton on NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street for the first six seasons of the show’s acclaimed 1993-99 run, then played another cop, Capt. Raymond Holt — this time against type and for laughs — on the 2013-21 Fox-nbc sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

André Braugher has died. The two-time Emmy-winning star of series including Homicide: Life on the Street, Men of a Certain Age and Brooklyn Nine-Nine was 61.
Braugher, whose first film role came alongside Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington in the Ed Zwick-directed Glory, died Monday after a brief illness.
While Braugher peppered his résumé with comedies, many will remember him for his ferocious portrayal of Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC drama Homicide: Life on the Street. Put him in “the box,” sweating out and outsmarting crime suspects in the interrogation room, and you were looking at a weekly dose of tour de force acting, as good as it got on television during that time. He won an Emmy for that show he starred in from 1992-98. His wife, Ami Brabson, recurred as Pembleton’s wife on Homicide.
