Late last year, we reported that Oscar Isaac had signed on to an animated film based on The Addams Family, with Isaac set to follow Charles Addams and Raul Julia’s lead by starring as Gomez Addams. That was all we knew at the time, but now the rest of the altogether ooky family has been cast as well—and they’re all…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Charlize Theron has signed on to play former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly in a yet-untitled movie about Roger Ailes—the disgraced network head who left Fox News over sexual harassment allegations and then died because we all hated him so much. The movie will be directed by Jay…
No one mentions the baby’s name right away. This makes sense: Marlo (Charlize Theron) and Drew (Ron Livingston) are on their third, from a pregnancy that may not have been entirely intentional. Their oldest child, Jonah (Asher Miles Fallica), is struggling with some special needs that have yet to be fully diagnosed.…
Jason Reitman’s new film Tully hits theaters on May 4, reuniting the director, writer Diablo Cody, and star Charlize Theron—the team who ably skewered the final moments of rotting youthful freedom with 2011's Young Adult—to try their hand at motherhood instead. Starring Theron as a struggling mom, and Halt And Catch…
Twenty years ago, it was hard to take a leak without hitting a movie like Gringo. Directed by Nash Edgerton, who made The Square (no, not that one, or that other one), it’s a blithely violent, madcap crime comedy starring a who’s who of slumming actors on the sliding spectrum between A and B stardom, all delivering…
Director Jason Reitman, writer Diablo Cody, and star Charlize Theron hit on something smart and very cynical in Young Adult, their 2011 black comedy about an ex-popular girl whose glory days are far behind her returning to her hometown to “save” her high-school boyfriend from his settled domestic life—only to discover…
With A History Of Violence, Tom Breihan picks the most important action movie of every year, starting with the genre’s birth and moving right up to whatever Vin Diesel’s doing this very minute.
We’ve heard from the insensitive clods (and Lindsay Lohan, who just might not know any better) who have either tried to sweep the sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein under the rug (again), blamed women for daring to be in the same room as men ever, and who think being a predator is a partisan issue…
For its first four episodes, The Orville was like breathing in thin atmosphere. All the potential richness of an outer space adventure series with comedic overtones (or however the show wants to bill itself) felt largely untapped; and with the exception of a few strong moments, the show felt sparse. Jokes were slight…
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gal Gadot reveals that, after a hitching a ride on the Fast And Furious franchise, she was up for two of the baddest roles in recent film history: Diana Prince and Furiosa. Obviously, she landed the former, making a delightful first impression in Batman V Superman: Dawn…
Looking like a cross between Debbie Harry and a Nagel print, Charlize Theron struts her way through the Cold War howler Atomic Blonde dressed to the proverbial nines, in white pleather raincoats, tailored herringbone wool, and a deadly pair of red stiletto heels, often caressing a cigarette between her fingers. She…
Many actors try their hand at directing, but few can match the degree of success—on both sides of the camera—that Sean Penn has achieved. Films like The Pledge (2001) and Into The Wild (2007) demonstrate the same intelligence, sensitivity, and power that Penn invests in his Oscar-winning performances. He occasionally…
Espionage is so hot right now, which means there’s no better time to see Atomic Blonde. David Leitch’s adaptation of the Coldest City graphic novel stars Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton, the deadliest, most elegant MI6 agent since James Bond. But this stoic spy has more in common with the killing machine in John…
We heard the slowed-down strains of New Order’s “Blue Monday” in the first Atomic Blonde trailer, which introduced Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton, a highly-trained assassin with killer looks (and boots). That refrain is still part of the new trailer, though the track now plays at regular speed to accompany more…
The first trailer for Atomic Blonde looks like if The Americans and John Wick had a baby and James Bond was its godparent—which is to say, sign us up. The Wick DNA is probably the most prevalent and that’s because David Leitch, who co-directed the first installment of the Keanu assassin franchise, helms this action…
The reveal that Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto would be betraying his Fast And Furious family in Fate Of The Furious was shocking, but this new trailer for the film reveals an even more terrifying and unexpected villain: actual cars. The one thing this crew has been able to count on across all of these movies have been…
CBS and Criminal Minds have mostly cornered the serial killer-hunting TV show market, but Netflix is about to give them a little competition with Mindhunter. The drama comes from David Fincher and Charlize Theron, and is an adaptation of one of the most important serial killer-related texts, Mind Hunter: Inside The…
Despite not being there in person, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won big at Sunday night’s Oscars, taking home Best Foreign Language Film for his movie The Salesman. Farhadi’s victory was broadcast on Iranian TV, but not without a few alterations; according to The Hollywood Reporter, at least one outlet decided that…
According to Deadline, Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron are set to star in and produce a comedy called Flarsky about a schlubby guy who tries to reconnect with his childhood crush. Rogen will play the schlub, obviously, “an unemployed journalist” who is “battered by his own misfortune and self-destructive ways.” Theron…
There are new reports that it’ll be a while before we learn The Fate Of The Furious. No, the April 14 release date—which Vin Diesel took care of announcing in addition to a ton of other production news, because he’s vying with Dwayne Johnson to become a one-man studio—hasn’t been pushed back or anything. But …
