"Cinematic Immunity" offers a workers'-eye view of Hollywood on the Hudson, revealing the intricate dynamics of filmmaking in New York City from 1954 to 9/11.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson sports a budget curly wig backlit by a harsh sun as he introduces himself to the Polynesian heroine as the 'Hero of men ... ah, and women, too.'

Gunn's first screenplay, Tromeo & Juliet, was co-written with Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, promising 'all the body-piercing, kinky sex, and car crashes that Shakespeare wanted but never had.'

The app is incredibly simple. I made use of the wonderful SimpleCSS for my design and then made use of the TMDB API. The TMDB APIs are pretty easy to use, but finding out how to get this information did take a bit of digging.

Perhaps best known for taking over The Wheel of Time, Sanderson made his electric debut 21 years ago with. Now, more than two decades later, Sanderson's complex fantasy books, including the Mistborn series and The Stormlight Archive, are finally getting adapted for film and TV. As revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, Sanderson's Mistborn books will be adapted into a series of films, while The Stormlight Archive will become a TV series.

He did as much 13 years ago in Iron Man 3, the second he dropped his guise as the Mandarin to reveal that he was actually Trevor Slattery. The efficacy - not to mention the morality - of this twist has been the topic of heated debate ever since, but no one can deny that Kingsley isn't utterly sympathetic in the role.

When the Oscar nominations were announced this year, Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' set a record. It received sixteen nominations, the most for any film ever. The fact that it's, in part, a vampire movie, made by a director who's not yet forty, makes that feat all the more remarkable.

In terms of audience recognition, Wonder Man is no Wonder Woman. But, as this latest addition to the MCU shows, that can afford a certain freedom. This miniseries is a surprisingly meta affair; a superhero fantasy by way of the kind of behind-the-camera machinations familiar to fans of Seth Rogen's The Studio. It tells the story of a pair of struggling actors, Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), who are hustling hard

I'm able to give this character the things that I want to be able to give this character, then you have the right guy. Russell says of his process in finding the vibe of the men he plays, emphasizing his intentional approach to embodying reluctant heroes across both Marvel and the Monsterverse.

The role, which spanned nine films, put him up among the world's highest paid actors and made him a global pin-up. Yet the confidence was, in part, a construction. The character you see in interviews, he says, easing into the chaise longue, and the presentation of myself over the last two decades working in Hollywood, it's me but it's a creation too. It's what I thought people wanted to see.

"When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly, I said, 'Look, do not editorialize or speculate about the why. Just say what happened, because all we know is what happened.' The stated reason was 'We don't think Ben Solo could be alive.' And that was all we were told. And so there's nothing to do about it, you know, except move on.'

Sam Raimi is one of Hollywood's finest purveyors of junk. I say this with love and reverence, and with full acknowledgment that he's the man behind such masterpieces as Evil Dead II and A Simple Plan. But the director has spent decades digging for gold amid pulpier genres, turning out oddball horror, thriller, and comic-book movies. As his career went on, Raimi graduated to making blockbuster versions of junk, including the first Spider-Man trilogy and, most recently, a Doctor Strange sequel for Marvel.

"The thing I don't understand is how you lose money running a laundromat," Hamrah writes, "especially if you own the building."
