Frances Cairns (Jumbo) details her intentions in the opening minutes of the series: “I’m going to kill a man.” She doesn’t know who the man is or where he lives, but his days are numbered. Said man ran over her six-year-old son, Marty, in a hit-and-run, leaving Frances to pick up the pieces of a life left utterly broken. Having received a letter that the case has grown cold, Frances confronts the new chief of police for the Isle of Wight, Nigel Strangeways (Billy Howle)....

As is the proper attitude toward anyone with an overly curated social media presence, it turns out fans were right to be leery of Stormfront. While the writing was on the wall since Season 2 first premiered, “The Boys” has dropped bombshell after bombshell about the newest member of its corporate-sponsored, morally bankrupt superhero team, The Seven. First, she appears as if from nowhere, already approved by the powers that be (namely Vought CEO Stan Edgar, played by Giancarlo Esposito) to join the most exclusive club on the planet....

In a new featurette released by Netflix — and exclusively to previewed on IndieWire — creator Peter Morgan discusses how he divides each season of the series based on the “reign” of the current Prime Minister, which in Thatcher’s case ran from 1979 to 1990. “It was an incredibly formidable time in our political history,” said executive producer Suzanne Mackie. “Britain is troubled, a divided country. It was a time of tremendous pressure and there was something extraordinary about bringing an actress of the scale, and weight, and presence as Gillian Anderson....

First published in 1971, the original “The Day of the Jackal” novel is set in 1963, the year the president of France, Charles de Gaulle, granted Algeria its independence. The move resulted in several assassination attempts on his life, mostly from the far-right Organisation de L’Armée Secrète (OAS). The novel focuses on a fictional OAS plot to kill de Gaulle via a mysterious foreign assassin with the codename “The Jackal....

While the new trailer doesn’t tease any guests or man-on-the-street pranks, it offers a look at the show’s colorful new set. Andre is also seen strangling a clown, crashing a motorcycle into his desk, ripping his own head off and scoring a soccer goal with it, getting shot repeatedly. In other words, business as usual. “The Eric Andre Show,” which stars Andre as a psychotic and inept talk show host alongside co-host Hannibal Buress, has gained a cult following over the years due to Andre’s deranged “man on the street” antics and his myriad of ludicrous and unpredictable celebrity guest interviews....

WarnerMedia announced on Tuesday that HBO Max and BBC One will co-produce the project as a four-episode limited series starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Beyond the Lights”) and David Oyelowo (“Selma”). The upcoming project, which is billed as a psychological thriller, will be directed by Lisa Brühlmann who’s previously helmed episodes of “Killing Eve” and “Servant.” Per HBO Max: “The Girl Before” tells the story of Jane (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), who gets the chance to move into a beautiful, ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect (played by David Oyelowo)....

“The Mandalorian” has had its highs and lows, but when it all clicks, the best episodes of the popular Disney+ show feel like live-action love letters to fans of Dave Filoni’s acclaimed “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels” animated series. That’s the case with the fourth episode of the sophomore season, which sets up an exciting premise for later while boasting more than enough action and humor to stand on its own right now....

“The Mandalorian” has been building up to a meeting with a Jedi since Season 1 concluded last year, and the latest episode of the “Star Wars” show makes good on the teases via an action-packed episode that is one of the season’s best installments yet. Given that “The Mandalorian” has been hinting at the appearance of lightsaber-wielding warriors for so long, the episode thankfully wastes no time before introducing viewers to Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson, AKA the year’s worst-kept casting secret)....

It was part of director Rupert Wyatt’s visual plan with cinematographer Alex Disenhof to keep us in a state of perpetual motion, as Allie, wife Margot (Melissa George), teenage daughter Dina (Logan Polish), and son Charlie (Gabriel Bateman) take flight from the American Southwest to Mexico when they are pursued by government agents. “The propulsive movement sets up a theme that we tried to keep throughout the series, following this family and taking us to a new place,” Disenhof said....

From the title of their new documentary, you may think Peter Middleton and James Spinney have set out to achieve with “The Real Charlie Chaplin” what most other film history documentaries earnestly attempt: to look beyond the surface of their subject, whatever or whoever it may be, and capture its “real” essence. But from the opening frames, and an epigraph of a quote from Chaplin’s friend Max Eastman, they acknowledge that with Chaplin that’s impossible, and the title is a little bit of a joke....

The original “The Ren & Stimpy Show” premiered on Nickelodeon in 1991, the same year the network debuted classic kids shows such as “Rugrats” and “Doug.” Though “The Ren & Stimpy Show” was not explicitly aimed at adults, the show was full of dark humor, raunchy sex jokes, and other mature content, which generated some controversy. The series nonetheless was widely praised during its five-season run and remembered as one of Nickelodeon’s standout ’90s shows....

“Terrifying in a word. Terrifying,” Farrell said in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight. “It really was. It was scary. I’m not a great swimmer anyway, not that we were swimming, not that we were treading water, we had to stay on the surface, but they built a really impressive network of caves, it was about four or five different caves that were based on the topography of the caves, the Tham Luang caves in Thailand, and they filled them full of water, and we’d go down and there was no up....

“Totally Under Control” was filmed in secret over five months earlier in the year and focuses on the Trump administration’s ongoing failures to adequately respond to the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected over 7 million Americans, 200,000 of which have died from the virus. The documentary includes a variety of interviews with scientists, medical professionals, and government officials to discern how and why the country’s leadership failed to deal with the pandemic....

The film was polarizing, but its status among cinephiles has grown in recent years. Its dazzling special effects and unique creative choices (such as hiring Daft Punk to write the score), have turned the film into something of a cult classic. Kosinski’s planned sequel, “Tron: Ascension,” never materialized, but it has become a captivating “what if?” story for many fans of the film. In a new interview with Vulture, Kosinski opened up about how close he came to making the threequel, and shared his thoughts on why the film never materialized....

Part of the charm and the tension of the Tom Hardy-starring “Venom” franchise has been its relative disinterest in lacing its action with that of both Sony’s own Spider-Man franchise and the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. Eddie Brock and the alien symbiote (AKA Venom) who infects (and then charms?) him are long-established members of the Spider-Man fracas, both as antagonists and pals. And while both “Venom” and its new sequel “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” mostly exist outside the increasingly convoluted world of both Spidey and his Avengers pals, even these wonderfully zany features have to provide a few nods to the wider world....

Three weeks of sitcom homage, one week catching up with the real world, and now “WandaVision” delivers its first fully formed look at what the series really is: a tragic thriller hidden behind the thin promise of all sitcoms — that everything is going to be OK. Arriving halfway through the nine-episode season, “On a Very Special Episode…” is a pivot point to be sure. Not only does the 33-minute entry (sans those lengthy credits) split time between Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) in their new sitcom home, with their rapidly growing kids and short-lived pet dog, but it finally starts setting up the next phase of the MCU and pushes its main character to the tipping point....

In the comments of a recent Instagram post highlighting the actress’ past three months, a fan asked Zegler what she planned on wearing to the Oscars. Her droll response: “I’m not invited so sweatpants and my boyfriend’s flannel.” Angry fans quickly flooded the comments, expressing dismay that the breakout star was not invited to the ceremony. While Zegler is not nominated for anything, the film received seven nominations including Best Picture....

Deadline reported on Tuesday that Moore and Stewart have plans to create a 13-episode animated series for Apple TV+. Though the project appears to be in its early stages — there’s no word on a release date or voice cast — the duo stated that the project would boast the same style of animation that made “Wolfwalkers” one of the most popular films of 2020. “We have a big series for Apple TV that’s not really announced,” Moore and Stewart told Deadline....
