“Nobody’s in the running,” Broccoli said. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time.” Her words are unlikely to tamp down fan speculation about the casting, which will only increase until a new 007 actor is announced....

More than a decade later, the supernatural drama (which, of course, follows the story of a time traveler and his wife) is returning, this time in the form of an HBO series starring Rose Leslie and Theo James in the roles originated by McAdams and Bana 13 years ago. Neither of the original stars is involved in this iteration. The series’ first season will feature six episodes, created by TV regular Steven Moffat (“Doctor Who”) and directed by “Game of Thrones” Emmy winner David Nutter....

“2nd Chance” is “The White Tiger” and “Chop Shop” filmmaker’s feature-length documentary debut and tells the story of Richard Davis, the man who invented the modern-day bulletproof vest and shot himself 192 times in order to prove to law enforcement and the military that his creation actually worked. Bleecker will release the film in New York and Los Angeles beginning Friday, December 2; it will then expand to additional cities on Dec....

“Ratched” is set in 1947 after World War II and follows Mildred (Paulson) as she arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital. The medical facility is where unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind. Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but a darkness inside of her grows as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it....

The writer/director helmed “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” which infamously subverted fan expectations involving the entwined destinies of Rey (Daisy Ridley), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), and of course, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). While the film grossed over $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, the “Star Wars” fan backlash over how his entry allegedly deconstructed the canon was very, very real. But Johnson is looking at the 2017 franchise installment with new eyes, and “A New Hope” for the “Star Wars” canon....

Whatever you think you know about Rita Moreno, you barely know the half of it. A lively and illuminating new documentary about the incomparable actress, singer, and dancer proves that no matter how hard any person or industry tries to pigeonhole Rita Moreno, she will surprise at every skirt-flipping turn. The Puerto Rican-American icon may forever be remembered as Anita in “West Side Story,” for which she became the first Latina to win an Oscar, but “Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It” reveals much more about her mind-blowing seven-decade career in show business....

Ahmed and Tariq dive into that schism of the self in a sometimes surreal movie that also has Ahmed tap into his real-life rap and spoken-word battle skills as a musician. (He performs under the moniker Riz MC.) “Mogul Mowgli,” shot a few months after his Oscar-nominated turn in “Sound of Metal” wrapped production in late 2018, again tasks the London-born Pakistani actor to play an artist coping with degenerative illness....

For many audiences who have embraced “RRR” (which stands for “Rise, Roar, Revolt”) in recent months, the decision comes as a shock on many fronts. “RRR” was the rare crossover event movie from India. The movie pulled in $65 million on opening weekend in India, then grossed $14 million in the U.S., thanks to a theatrical relaunch in arthouses that Variance Releasing dubbed “encoRRRe”; that overlapped with a Hindi-language dub surfacing on Netflix, where it became an even bigger phenomenon....

Now, cost-cutting is all the rage. When Netflix lost subscribers in Q1 and again in Q2, it became clear that streaming was as mortal as any business; the argument for $300 million deals, like Murphy’s, became a symbol of optimistic folly. And then: “Dahmer.” Murphy’s limited series, “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” premiered September 21; over the next 28 days, it became Netflix’s second-most-watched English-language TV series ever, behind only “Stranger Things 4....

When it comes to the 12-year age gap between Zendaya and Washington, Levinson told The Independent he understands why that might be a cause for concern, as age gaps are “something that historically happen a lot in films with older male actors and younger female ones and it often has nothing to do with the story.” Because the film’s storyline reckons with the age difference between Malcolm and Marie, and how it contributes to the imbalance of power in their relationship, Levinson said, “I’m just not sure the criticism is applicable to this particular project because [the age difference] is part of its DNA....

The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum recalled having it “ingrained” in her that all sets were “extremely toxic” early in her career. While Gellar did not name “Buffy” or its controversial showrunner Joss Whedon, Gellar described the misogynistic and manipulative behavior she endured on an unnamed, long-running project. “For so long, I was on a set that I think was known for being an extremely toxic male set,” Gellar said during TheWrap’s Power of Women Summit panel for Power of Storytelling: Producers Roundtable....

Three weeks after its release, “Black Widow” has earned a comparatively paltry $319.45 million worldwide. The pandemic is partly to blame, but so is Disney’s decision to offer the film to Disney+ subscribers for $30, which netted the studio an additional $60 million in its opening weekend alone. The result? Johansson earned far less than expected, while Disney’s stock price rose in response to Wall Street’s excitement over the streaming success....

Green was just 9 years old when Murray physically grabbed him out of anger while hosting the holiday “SNL” episode. “When I was 9 years old, I did a spot on ‘Saturday Night Live’ when Mary Gross was one of the on-the-scene anchor people for the news, and she did a whole thing about what kids think about the Christmas holiday,” Green explained during the “Good Mythical Morning” YouTube show....

Park was previously indicted in 2018, which was notable for being the first time the U.S. charged a Pyongyang operative. According to the DOJ indictment, the three allegedly worked for the Reconnaissance General Bureau, a wing of North Korean military intelligence. Prosecutors allege that the November 2014 cyberhack of Sony Pictures was ordered in retaliation for the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy “The Interview,” which portrayed the assassination of Kim Jong Un....

Two years ago, total ticket sales came to just under $900 million. That was lower than four of the five prior Januarys, but “Bad Boys for Life,” “The Rise of Skywalker,” and “1917” each took in over $100 million during the month. This January, only “Spider-Man” is likely to make over $100 million. The total for all titles will likely to be under $450 million. The absence of competition will lift the latest “Spider-Man” to greater heights, with the potential to reach $850 million (though more likely closer to $800 million)....

Here’s the official synopsis: “In anticipation of the 2020 presidential election, ‘All In: The Fight for Democracy’ examines the often overlooked, yet insidious issue of voter suppression in the United States. The film interweaves personal experiences with current activism and historical insight to expose a problem that has corrupted our democracy from the very beginning. With the perspective and expertise of Stacey Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, the documentary offers an insider’s look into laws and barriers to voting that most people don’t even know are threats to their basic rights as citizens of the United States....

“I didn’t want to be an actor when I was a kid. My parents forced me to do it, my mother made me do it. My mother coached me to go into her agency and tell the children’s agent, ‘I want to do what mommy does,’” said Wheaton, whose mother Debra was an actress and his father Richard a medical specialist. “And through a combination of an incredible emotional abuse from my father and a lot of manipulation, using me, from my mother, it really put me in that place....

In the movie, when Larson presents his musical “Superbia” to an audience of peers and producers, he’s stunned to see Stephen Sondheim (played by Bradley Whitford) sneaking into the back of the audience. Later in the movie, Garfield’s Larson receives a voicemail from Sondheim encouraging his writing career — and the audio was spoken by none other than the late, great composer (who died Friday at the age of 91)....

The “Succession” Emmy winner reflected on playing media mogul Roy on the hit HBO series during the Edinburgh TV Festival in Scotland. “What I love about Logan, he’s self-made. Unlike all those other guys, Trump, Murdoch, Conrad Black, he did it all himself,” Cox explained, via Variety. “I love him.” Cox admitted that onscreen alter-ego Roy is “the antithesis of who I am,” despite having one cynical overlap with the character....

“Our Blackbeard is a legend, a lover, a fighter, a tactical genius, a poetic soul, and quite possibly insane. Only one man could play this role, and that is the great Taika Waititi. We’re thrilled beyond measure he’s decided to don the beard,” showrunner David Jenkins said. Waititi is joining previously announced cast member Rhys Darby, who worked with director Waititi on the film version of “What We Do in the Shadows,” co-directed by Jemaine Clement....
