"[Bias] is that thing that stops you being regarded as a person and makes you something smaller. With my accent, I've had that experience where I'm suddenly no longer a person with infinite possibilities and potential - I am 'that Scottish person'. I'm reduced to a noise that comes out of my mouth."

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.'

Kick off with Ridley Scott's 1982 OG Blade Runner: The Final Cut, which stars Harrison Ford as a special agent on a mission to exterminate escaped androids. Ford is joined by Ryan Gosling in the Denis Villeneuve-directed Blade Runner 2049, which is sure to whet your appetite for Dune: Part Three - hitting cinemas this December.

Cinematography isn't about beautiful images. It's about producing a whole series of images that serve a story. If I come out of a premiere and somebody says, 'Oh, I love the shot when such and such ...' I know I've made a mistake.

Davidson, a professional photographer and owner of Glasgow-based Studio Snap, is celebrating his strongest trading year to date, with revenues up more than 70 per cent in 2025. The surge follows his memorable appearance on series two of The Traitors, which turned him into a familiar face for millions of viewers, and, unexpectedly, a powerful brand amplifier for his business.

Alan Cumming has revealed he inadvertently injured Pedro Pascal during production of the upcoming Marvel movie Avengers: Doomsday. The Traitors host, 60, is set to reprise his role as X-Men superhero Nightcrawler in the film. Speaking during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Cumming said: What was funny was my first scene with Pedro, he hurt his neck and had to go home. So I broke Pedro.

BBC Threads, directed by Mick Jackson, follows two families in Sheffield as they try to survive a direct hit from a nuclear bomb. It pulls no punches as its characters fall one by one, before ultimately only focusing on pregnant Ruth (Karen Meagher) as she tries to survive and carve out a life for her and her child. Meticulously researched, it presents a bleak picture of what civilization would look like after nuclear winter, including the ozone layer weakening, resulting in blindness and skin cancer, and the degradation of the English language itself.

A Thousand Blows returns for its second season darker, bruised, and more inward-looking than before, and when Steven Knight and Malachi Kirby sat down with Kyle Meredith, it was clear that shift was intentional. The Disney+ series, set in the brutal underbelly of 1880s London, picks up with its characters stripped of bravado and fighting to survive the consequences of Season 1.

I wrote and directed the Mel Gibson film Payback but got fired during post-production. It was my first film as director and I thought my career was over. It was during this downtime that I wrote A Knight's Tale. I loved the idea that jousting tournaments were medieval sports, but I had never figured out what to do with it.

The upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter has already attracted its share of big names thanks to director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Gosling. But apparently, they're only the start of the famous figures involved in the work. According to a new report, one of the biggest movie stars alive helped out with a major scene, which is both a testament to the appeal of Star Wars and a sneaky glimpse of what's to come.

I'm autistic and 127 Hours has been my special interest for nearly 15 years,

It's nice that you are asking about props, because they're not really acknowledged, says Jode Mann, a TV prop master in Los Angeles. When Mann worked on the children's comedy show Pee-wee's Playhouse in the 1980s, she got a call from its star, Paul Reubens, who said he was nominating her for an Emmy. It was only after Mann told her mother and promised to thank her if she won that Reubens called back to say he couldn't nominate her because there's no category for you.

Its director, Paul Thomas Anderson, also secured Screenwriter of the Year and Director of the Year for the picture, which follows DiCaprio's character searching for his missing daughter. Irish star Jessie Buckley scooped Actress of the Year for her performance in the Shakespearean film Hamnet, while Timothee Chalamet collected Actor of the Year for his lead role in the table tennis drama Marty Supreme at Sunday's London ceremony.

Over the course of three "Avatar" movies, Scott has crafted thousands of costumes for the completely fictional world of Pandora, rooting her designs in meticulous research (Cameron's mandate was that everything should be drawn from real-world influences) but then letting her imagination take flight to create a vivid, fully realized fantasy world.

The esteemed film-maker was licking his wounds: his most recent picture, Far from the Madding Crowd, which imbued its 19th-century rural characters with an anachronistic King's Road style and panache, had flopped stateside. Childers approached the date with mixed feelings. He adored Schlesinger's previous movie, the jazzy Darling, starring Julie Christie as a model on the make, and had seen it three times.

"Michelle is definitely going to be in 4, if we make 4," Cameron shares to TVBS News, per . He already has a vision in store for her: she would be a Na'vi named Paktuelat, but didn't specify what tribe she would be a part of. Cameron has already conquered land, sea, and fire in the world of Pandora, but maybe there's a tribe of Na'vi living underground.

It all began with an image of Chewbacca carrying C-3PO on his back. That one image from The Empire Strikes Back would inspire one of the best Predator movies ever, a fresh reimagining of the sci-fi horror franchise that turned the slasher monster into the protagonist. But while Star Wars will always be a north star for director Dan Trachtenberg, he didn't make Predator: Badlands with the ultimate goal of making a Star Wars movie - not that he would say no to one.

"The film was shot in Ultra Panavision 70 with lenses that yielded an aspect ratio of 2.76 to 1, and it was breathtaking," Scorsese said. "But it wasn't just the size of the image, it was the imprint of the man behind the camera who knew how to fill that frame, how to compose it. And composer seems like the right word to describe George Stevens and the extraordinary level of artistry he reached at that point in his life and career."
