Rupert Grint is going through a good time in terms of his acting career. The former Harry Potter star is one of the protagonists of the Apple TV+ hit Servant, which is coming to an end soon. In addition, he’s part of M. Night Shyamalan’s next film, Knock at the Cabin, based on the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. Despite his new projects, the actor always has time to remember and thank the Wizarding World fans, a franchise that has marked his life and opened dozens of doors for new opportunities....

Who doesn’t want a second chance in life? If any of us could go back to a moment or day in our lives that was assigned an enormous purpose that we bungled away somehow, we would all do it. If we mess up that second chance, too, we would love a third, fourth, fifth, and perhaps more. As time-loop stories like Groundhog Day, Palm Springs, and Russian Doll have proven, we do need a few redos in life....

Everyone, at this point, knows that the Green Lantern teaser trailer released last year garnered nothing but fan ridicule. The hate was loud, and it bothered no one more than star Ryan Reynolds, who plays intergalactic patrolman Hal Jordan in this upcoming DC Comics adaptation. While at WonderCon in San Francisco, the actor addressed fans’ concerns about the movie itself, assuring weary potential audience members that Green Lantern will be a faithful, serious space epic and not the Van Wilder-like frat comedy that huge chunks of the teaser seem to suggest....

BlackFilm caught up actress Salli Richardson, who answered some questions about her involvement with the upcoming sci-fi thriller, I Am Legend, which also stars Will Smith. Here are some tidbits of what she had to say: I play Will’s wife, and his daughter actually plays our daughter in the film. I think we basically set the tone for the whole film because what would happen if you see this virus that’s really killing the whole world and your husband is the only hope....

1408’s Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski will direct Big Eyes, a drama they wrote, according to Variety. The film explores the relationship between painter Margaret Keane and her husband, Walter, who took credit for her work. He lived the high life while she toiled in relative anonymity in the Bay Area. Walter Keane made his mark in the late 1950s with stylistic paintings of big-eyed children, mass producing prints sold cheaply in hardware stores and gas stations....

Always trying to be ahead of the game when it comes to inclusion, children’s TV stalwart, Sesame Street, has introduced its first gay couple to the show. Once again increasing representation for the many diverse groups of people across the world. The episode, which aired for Pride Month, saw the cast of colorful puppets and Sesame Street residents preparing a celebration. As Big Bird, Elmo, Alan, Charlie, Abby Cadabby and others made arrangements, the guest list included Nina’s brother Dave, who she said was coming with his family....

Since the film is called Cowboys and Aliens, it only makes sense that the movie is executive produced by three people that know a little something about Westerns and Alien movies, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard (The Missing, Far and Away) and Steven Spielberg (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind). If you think about it, that is a pretty impressive pedigree and sci-fi fans can rest assured that this movie is going to be one that they won’t want to miss next summer....

Some things weren’t meant to be turned into a sexy Halloween costume, especially when it has to do with The Handmaid’s Tale. Popular online lingerie and costume shop Yandy has many costumes of the sexy variety on their site, including a sexy Pennywise from IT, Hannibal Lecter, Black Panther, and a bunch more. But The Handmaid’s Tale costume sparked outrage right from the start, which resulted in the company swiftly removing the sexy item and issuing a lengthy apology for causing such a stir....

Ever since the pilot episode of the series, Cameron Monaghan has entertained fans on Shameless as middle child Ian Gallagher. Just one part of a disastrously dysfunctional family, the recurring character has taken part in many of the show’s most memorable storylines, serving a vital role in making the series as popular as it’s since become. With this in mind, it may be heartbreaking for many of the show’s biggest fans to know Camron Monaghan has just announced his exit from the series on Instagram, promising that the next new episode to air on Showtime will serve as the character’s last....

Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed and co-wrote the movie, has signed on to write and direct Shang-Chi 2. Of course, Simu Liu will also be back as the titular superhero, though it remains to be seen which other characters may return. In a new interview with Collider, Cretton addressed the current status of Shang-Chi 2....

Steve Harrington has been a main cast member in all four seasons of the popular sci-fi series Stranger Things. He is played by Joe Keery of Spree and Free Guy. Despite starting as a stereotypical arrogant jock, Steve eventually matures and redeems himself. It is this redemptive arc that earned his place as a fan favorite. According to Matt and Ross Duffer, Steve wasn’t originally meant to be a staple character, nor was he supposed to have any depth, but rather he was meant to be a pseudo-villain....

Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 classic, Straw Dogs, gets the Hollywood remake by the excellent critic turned director, Rod Lurie. The original was a sensation, violent and disturbing. I am happy to report that this adaptation, despite a few issues, lives up to the first film and is equally provocative. James Marsden, in his finest performance yet, stars as Hollywood screenwriter David Sumner. He and his beautiful wife, Amy (Kate Bosworth), decide to return to her hometown of Blackwater, Mississippi....

G.I. JOE RISES TO THE TOP Another Hasbro toy has triumphed at the box office. G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which blew up critics’ reviews, which would ordinarily have run on Friday, like the Eiffel Tower in the movie, posted an estimated $56.2 million at the domestic box office and $44.3 million overseas. It was the first blockbuster film – it reportedly cost $175 million to make – that was not shown to critics in advance, a strategy that seemed to work (although the critics themselves would undoubtedly argue that few if any G....

BETTING DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS Several box-office analysts are predicting that The Simpsons Moviewill take in plenty of d’oh over the weekend – perhaps as much as $60 million. The film is expected to trounce last week’s winner, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and the previous week’s winner, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Three other movies will be opening wide this weekend: Warner Bros.’ No Reservations, aimed at women; Who’s Your Caddy?...

To a certain degree, the very concept of the Suicide Squad has been a thorn on the heels of the DCEU and Warner Bros. Although its comic run was somewhat solid, cinematically speaking, the brand has not translated well. 2016’s Suicide Squad was critically panned, and fans did not take well to some of the decisions that director David Ayer made in that film. That said, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn was a cultural icon, so some good did come out of that movie....

AMC today announced that Oscar-winner Stephen Gaghan will direct the pilot for White City, a gripping geopolitical drama focused on Western diplomats and journalists living in Afghanistan. White City is an adventure story set in the somewhat surreal ex-pat world of near-present Afghanistan, one of the most discussed and least understood places on earth. The show focuses on Jon Liston, a war junkie who has spent the better part of the last decade in Kabul with a front-row seat to the carnage....
