In Time magazine’s new Chalamet cover story, west coast editor Sam Lansky writes: “[Chalamet] demurs when asked about co-star Armie Hammer, who has denied a widely publicized accusation of rape. ‘I totally get why you’re asking that,’ he says, ‘but it’s a question worthy of a larger conversation, and I don’t want to give you a partial response.’” Even before the rape accusation, the future of Hammer’s career was in question following a social media controversy at the start of 2021....

Filmed in Kansas City, Missouri over the course of five years, “Transhood” shrewdly focuses its lens on families and kids in America’s so-called “heartland.” While the kids are all white or white-passing (without assuming anyone’s racial identity), the families range from working- to middle-class. The film addresses ostracization from religious family members, parental fatigue, and the financial burdens of trans-affirming healthcare, which isn’t covered under many insurance plans. For the most part, the parents in “Transhood” are normal, everyday people doing their best to love and support their children....

Per a reported audience survey from Screen Engine’s PostVOD (which includes streamers), “Tomorrow” was #1 worldwide by far for the weekend with 2.4 million U.S. households viewing at least part of the film, as well as the top live-action release since the start of May. (That phrasing suggests “Luca” on Disney+ may have been bigger, as well as possibly some Netflix animated titles.) The same information suggests initial interest in “No Sudden Move....

Franklin Sioux Bob and Reddy are credited as co-writers on the project, alongside Keogh and Gammell (who also produced it), while Franklin Sioux Bob also appears in a small, but pivotal role in the film. Steeped in their own stories, “War Pony” follows two young Oglala Lakota men (Jojo Bapteise Whiting as twentysomething Bill, Ladainian Crazy Thunder as 12-year-old Matho) as they make their way through the world. As a desire for stories told by the people who lived them — or, at the very least, stories advised by the people who lived them, really not so much to ask for — increases, films like “War Pony” will continue to be made....

Regal locations will re-open in the U.S. for the first time in six months in limited capacity starting April 2 to accommodate Warner Bros.’ “Godzilla vs. Kong,” which will stick to the studio’s current 2021 release plan of playing in theaters and HBO Max at the same time. More Regal locations will open April 16 to screen the studio’s “Mortal Kombat” day and date with streaming. The 45-day exclusive theatrical window for Warner Bros....

“WeWork: or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn,” the Jed Rothstein-directed documentary about the rise and fall of former billionaire business tycoon, Adam Neumann, premiered exclusively on Hulu on Friday. If documentaries are a big part of your streaming routine, Hulu is a great destination to find an array of films to binge. From addictive true crime documentaries to fashion films, and behind-the-scenes looks at your favorite musicians and bands, Hulu has something for every kind of viewer....

Cage has often cited the 1920 German Expressionist film as one of his favorites, and the opportunity to pay homage to its dream-like imagery was such a highlight of the experience that he continued to talk it up for the movie’s release, even though it didn’t make the final cut. “It was really wild and cool to me,” Cage told IndieWire in March. “I always designed my performances with the cinematic dream of getting back to silent film performance in general, and German Expressionism in particular....

The extremely long-running British series will now stream on Disney+ outside of the UK and Ireland. While we’re about a year out from that deal’s debut, the “intention” is for “Doctor Who” on Disney+ to stream the same day episodes air on Britain’s BBC One, a person with knowledge of the plans told IndieWire. For the next few years, BBC America, a joint venture between AMC Networks and BBC Studios, will continue to have the linear license for several prior seasons of “Doctor Who....

Audiences just checked out of “The White Lotus’” Sicilian season, but fans are already ravenous for details about where the HBO anthology series is heading for its third outing. And while that information isn’t likely to come out any time soon, creator and writer-director Mike White already seems to have an idea of what he wants the next installment of his hit show to look like. In an interview for HBO’s “Unpacking White Lotus,” White seemingly hinted at the show heading to Asia while talking about what Season 3 will focus on....

But West soon throws the film back in time, allowing his audience to catch up on a very busy 24 hours for said scrappy film crew, including star-in-the-making Maxine (Mia Goth), free-spirited Bobby-Lynne (Brittany Snow), and the reserved Lorraine (Jenna Ortega), the trio of leading ladies of both “X” and the fake pornographic film at its center. Along with ringleader Wayne (Martin Henderson), big talent Jackson (Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi), and wannabe director RJ (Owen Campbell), the ill-fated cast and crew do manage to film a variety of decidedly X-rated scenes before the blood starts being shed....

Goran Stolevski’s elliptical folk tale “You Won’t Be Alone” unfolds like a dream without a map, and so to try and parse it in certain terms is like recounting a dream to somebody who wasn’t in on it. That’s high praise for a horror-adjacent movie that weds some of the genre’s most elemental tropes to a weird and poignant parable of a loveless witch who seeks to punish the world because of her own disappointments in love and motherhood....

Before Kuperstein came on board, the production had chosen to shoot at Bulgaria’s Nu Boyana studio, with the intent of using the “America Town” section of the backlot. When Kuperstein and Cregger started looking at videos and maps of the streets, however, they realized that their blocking and camera moves would be extremely limited compared to their ambitions. “The line producer suggested that instead of using the studio we build the whole thing from scratch in a field,” Kuperstein told IndieWire....

Before being cast as Catwoman in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” Kravitz recalled being up against casting discrimination when attempting to audition for a small role in Christopher Nolan’s 2012 film — ultimately losing out on the chance at the part due to the color of her skin. “I don’t know if it came directly from Chris Nolan,” Kravitz said in The Guardian interview. “I think it was probably a casting director of some kind, or a casting director’s assistant....

Reeling from a recent separation from his wife following a miscarriage, the exuberant Ali (Akhtar) spends his days visiting tenants and listening to music. When he picks up his tenant’s daughter from school, he offers her teacher a ride home in the rain. He’s charming and persistent, and Ava (Rushbrook) has no choice but to accept the offer despite her best efforts. Passing a funeral proceeding in his British Pakistani neighborhood, Ali rolls down the window to ask a passerby who has died....

After the “Aquaman” sequel was pushed back from December 16, 2022 to March 17, 2023, the DC installment is getting shifted once more to December 25, 2023. That’s the same release window as its initial December 2022 premiere date, following the 2018 holiday debut of the first film. Now in the DC shuffle, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” will take over the vacant “Aquaman 2” premiere date, this time delayed until March 17, 2023, after being first announced to open on December 16 of this year (the original “Aquaman” sequel date)....

Soundtracked by Sun Ra’s “It’s After the End of the World,” the trailer shows various deserted locations but concludes with a close-up of Paper Boi (who is played by Brian Tyree Henry). Production on Season 3 and the already greenlit Season 4 commenced in April of this year. In September 2020, FX Networks and FX Productions chairman John Landgraf announced in September 2020 that filming was expected to resume in early 2021, while noting that production had been delayed by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic but the the show’s writing team had completed all of the scripts for “Atlanta” seasons 3 and 4 in the early months of the pandemic....

Opening with a bang, “Barbarian” starts on the edge of sinister and barrels toward the darkness, with a few diverting rest stops along the way. The movie begins as Tess (Georgina Campbell), headed to a job interview, arrives at her Detroit Airbnb, where she’s surprised to discover an unexpected roommate in the form of suspicious charmer Keith (Bill Skarsgård). Playing on Skarsgård’s natural creepiness and icon status in contemporary horror, tension is high from the jump as Keith insists Tess not be put out by the mix-up....

The teaser for Greta Gerwig’s highly-anticipated “Barbie” starts with the history of little girls and dolls, baby dolls to be exact. That is, until Robbie as Barbie lands in an homage to “2001: A Space Odyssey” and jaws drop. Three-time Oscar nominee Gerwig co-wrote the feature with Noah Baumbach. Gerwig directs the film which also stars Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Nicola Coughlan, and Emerald Fennell, among a massive ensemble cast....

The story follows Suzu, a shy high schooler who assumes a new persona inside the U and becomes a global pop sensation named Belle, and then goes on a journey to save a mysterious beast from a mob of vigilantes.

The most ambitious feature undertaken by Zeno Mountain Farm, a camp aimed at immersing disabled and non-disabled kids in the arts and the subject of the 2014 documentary “Becoming Bulletproof,” “Best Summer Ever” seeks to break the record for most disabled performers in a film held by 1932’s horror feature “Freaks.” Outside of that, the musical, with its story of young love, cliques, and following your heart, hopes to prove that inserting disability into every movie is possible and entertaining....
