Joel Edgerton’s Train Dreams premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival to widespread critical acclaim — the film earned a 97% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we are thrilled to partner with Netflix to preview a new image of Edgerton in Train Dreams, and we also had the chance to ask director Clint Bentleya few questions about the film. Bentley also wrote the script with his long-time collaborator Greg Kwedar.

Train Dreams is Bentley's first movie since Sing Sing, which he wrote the script for while Kwedar directed. When asked what Bentley took away from working on Sing Sing that he brought to Train Dreams, he spoke about bringing the “real world” into a film and allowing a movie to “evolve to accommodate the surprises of life.”

"In writing Sing Sing, Greg and I always left space for the script to...

The first trailer for Train Dreamshas arrived. Directed by Clint Bentley, who co-wrote the script with Greg Kwedar based on the 2011 novella by Denis Johnson, the upcoming film follows a logger working on the railroad in early 20th-century America, causing him to spend significant time away from his family and question his place in a rapidly changing world.

Its star-studded cast includes Golden Globe nominee Joel Edgerton (Loving), two-time Oscar nominee Felicity Jones, Emmy nominee Clifton Collins Jr. (Thief), Oscar nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), Oscar nominee William H. Macy (Fargo), Chuck Tucker, Paul Schneider, John Diehl, Alfred Hsing, Nathaniel Arcand, Johnny Arnoux, and Will Patton.

Today, a teaser trailer for Train Dreams has dropped online, and it can be seen in the embed above. Along with the teaser trailer comes the information that Netflix is planning to give the film a limited theatrical release on November 7th. It will make its way over to the streaming service two weeks later, on November 21st.

"Every thread we pull, we know not how it affects the design of things." Netflix has unveiled the first teaser trailer for one of the best films of 2025 titled Train Dreams, made by filmmaker Clint Bentley. Train Dreams premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to rave reviews from many critics (here's mine).

The breathtakingly beautiful film is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly-changing America of the early 20th Century. It follows him throughout a great deal of his life, through trials and tribulations, as he watches the world change right before his eyes. It's an incredible film.

Bentley has previously described the film as, “a really special story and it feels very unique in that it is just about this one person’s life. This very simple life. Robert Grainier doesn’t do anything that really alters the course of history — he doesn’t fight in some great...

Roland Emmerich’s Stargate remains one of the most intriguing sci-fi films of the 1990s: a bold blend of ancient alien mythology, military adventure, and speculative science fiction that spawned a long-running TV franchise. While the original 1994 theatrical release was a solid success, the later Director’s Cut – also included on this new Blu-ray from Final Cut Entertainment – adds layers of narrative depth and thematic cohesion that give the film a slightly richer texture, even if it doesn’t entirely solve the film’s tonal inconsistencies.

The story follows Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader), a brilliant yet discredited academic who is recruited by the U.S. military to help decipher a mysterious circular artefact discovered in Giza – the Stargate.

Totoro is making his way back onto the big screen.

As part of Gkids and Fathom Entertainment’s Studio Ghibli Fest, “My Neighbor Totoro” will be re-released in theaters across the country July 19-23. Hayao Miyazaki’s 1988 film follows sisters Satsuki and Mei, who relocate to a country home alongside their father to be close to their hospitalized mother. As the two children explore the countryside, they stumble upon creatures, including forest spirit Totoro.

Screenings will include both English dubbed and Japanese versions. Audience members can stick around after the film ends for a “Creating the Characters” bonus featurette that will include Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki.

This year’s Studio Ghibli Fest consists of an eight-film lineup, including “The Boy and the Heron” (the first time the film returns to theaters after its 2023 release).

Joel Edgerton was last seen playing a variety of Jason Dessens in the first season of Dark Matter on Apple TV+, but the next project from the star just took a major step forward. Edgerton stars alongside Kerry Condon and Felicity Jones in Train Dreams, a drama following an average man struggling to adjust to his new environment after losing his family. Not only has Netflix debuted a new image of Edgerton in Train Dreams, which can be found below, but the streamer has also announced that the film will play in select theaters starting November 21. This is an interesting step for Netflix, a studio that usually sends most of its movies straight to streaming, but it could signify a changing of the tide in the months and years to come.

Train Dreams premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and was an immediate hit. The film earned...

This post contains spoilers from Dark Winds season 3 episode 8, “Béésh Lii” (Iron Horse).

The season finale of Dark Winds wastes no time catching up with the fraud Dr. Reynolds (John Diehl). Teddi Issacs (Carly Roland) was on the cusp of gathering her belongings and getting away, but Reynolds appeared in the nick of time with a proposal from a friend to bankroll another dig site for them. By this time, of course, Teddi no longer trusts him. Not only is he a crooked researcher, he’s a self-made murderer. Try as she might to render herself free from the man, he overpowers her even with his aged strength. In a flash Teddi’s head is brutally bashed against the hotel room table, instantly killing her.

Gordo (A. Martinez) and Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) find the blood-riddled vehicle of Dr. Reynolds. And much to their surprise, they find Teddi Issacs dead in the trunk.

As AMC’s riveting, tense — and heartbreaking — third season of the supernaturally-tinged Southwestern crime thriller Dark Winds comes to an end this week, ’70s Navajo Tribal Police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (the Emmy-deserving Zahn McClarnon) continues to be pushed to his limits. The dedicated lawman has barely survived grave injuries while spending this entire season searching for missing Navajo teen George Bowlegs (Bodhi Okuma Linton). (The boy’s been running for his life after his best friend Ernesto Cata was murdered due to a secret they discovered at the archaeological site at which they worked .) Most painful for the long-married cop, however: His beloved longtime wife, Emma (Deanna Allison), has left him. A very spiritual traditional Navajo who can’t abide lies, Emma was shocked and disappointed when her guilt-wracked husband finally admitted to her that he had abandoned B.J. Vines (John Diehl), the tycoon responsible for their son’s demise some years earlier,...

This week's episode of AMC's hit period drama Dark Winds takes a hallucinatory journey into the troubled mind of Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon). As a drugged dart sends him on a surreal journey through his past and present, the show's creators used a variety of inspirations to craft the episode's striking visuals. Variety discussed the episode's cinematic inspirations with episode director Erica Tremblay.

The episode sees Leaphorn confronted with his professional and personal crises, which have come to a head this season, and also unearths a long-buried trauma; witnessing the sexual abuse of his cousin at the hands of a priest during their time at boarding school. Those memories are conveyed in a phantasmagorical sequence whose influences were carefully chosen to reflect Leaphorn's state of mind. Says Tremblay, "I watched a lot of anime, such as Perfect Blue. David Lynch was a huge inspiration in this episode, and thinking...

The third season of AMC's critically acclaimed Navajo-centered psychological thriller, Dark Winds, is currently tossing several twists and turns our way. The latest being the strain being put on Joe (Zahn McClarnon) and Emma Leaphorn's (Deanna Allison) marriage, after the latter finds out the terrible choice made by her husband as last season closed out. While Season 3 is yet to wrap up its run, it's never too early to get updates regarding the already greenlit fourth season. And that is what executive producer, George R.R. Martin offered in a recent blog.

While Martin is well-known for his collaboration with HBO, who have, and are, adapting several of his written works. The writer has other interests and projects to which his name is attached. One of them is AMC's Dark Winds, which adapts the Leaphorn & Chee novels by Tony Hillerman. As he often does with offering updates regarding several projects,...

There's a dark cloud over Joe and Emma Leaphorn's marriage in a new Collider-exclusive clip from this week's all-new Dark Winds. Last week's shocking revelation has driven a wedge between the two, even as a new, deadly mystery stalks the US Southwest. "Tsékǫ̨’ Hasą́ní (Coal Mine Canyon)," Episode 5 of Dark Winds' Season 3, will premiere on Sunday, April 6, at 9 Pm Et on AMC, and will stream the next day on AMC+.

Last week saw Emma Leaphorn (Deanna Allison) find out about the terrible choice her husband, Joe (Zahn McClarnon), made last season; confronted with the knowledge that local businessman B.J. Vines (John Diehl) had engineered the death of their son and several other men in a mining disaster years earlier, Joe took Vines out into the desert and left him to fend for himself. He thought he'd left it behind him, but this season, Vines' skeletal corpse was discovered,...

After the events that transpired at the end of Dark Winds Season 2, things have seriously changed for Zahn McClarnon's Joe Leaphorn, a lieutenant and veteran of the tribal police. Leaphorn turned executioner with regard to B.J. Vines (John Diehl) during the sophomore season, and since the show's return for its third season, the officer has been battling with his demons regarding breaking the law. Sneakily sent in to decipher what caused Vines' demise is Special Agent Sylvia Washington (Jenna Elman), who has since begun to close in on the truth regarding the death. So what makes the federal agent such a potent and dangerous adversary?

"When the writers and I were conceiving the character, I wasn't picturing Jenna Elfman," showrunner John Wirth explained to Screen Rant in an interview regarding the character. "Sometimes I do picture an actor, and I think, 'Yeah, this is like that person or that actor in that movie.

AMC's adaptation of Graham Roland’s critically acclaimed Navajo-centered psychological thriller, Dark Winds has begun its third season run. The show has seen the return of Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn, a lieutenant and veteran of the tribal police. It has been a tough season for Leaphorn so far, as the officer struggles with the guilt of having to turn executioner with regard to B.J. Vines (John Diehl) in Season 2. Leaphorn's partner and trusty assistant, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), has returned to the force, and the younger officer is oblivious to the truth regarding Vines' death.

The show's latest episode is titled "Ch'į́į́dii (Ghosts)" and Special Agent Sylvia Washington (Jenna Elfman) has found Vines' body in the desert, triggering a bout of guilt for Joe, some of it supernatural. Jim is sure to notice and Gordon has since discussed how his character's relationship with Joe has evolved amid the suspicion.

Reader, you have been lied to! Film history is littered with unfairly maligned classics, whether critics were too eager to review the making of rather than the finished product, or they suffered from underwhelming ad campaigns or general disinterest. Let’s revise our takes on some of these films from wrongheaded to the correct opinion.

When “Madhouse,” a comedy about a happily married couple besieged by out of control house guests, was released in early 1990, it met with immediate hostility from critics. How hostile were they? So hostile that “Madhouse” is currently in the select group of movies sitting uncomfortably at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, not a single positive review to its name.

The irony is that not only is “Madhouse” not bad, it’s great. And not only great, but all-time great, a comedy so flawless in its construction and so precise in its timing that it ranks alongside the best work of Howard Hawks,...

Dark Winds takes place in the early 1970s in the Four Corners area of America, primarily on the Navajo Nation Reservation in New Mexico. The series features a mainly Indigenous American cast led by Zahn McClarnon as Joe Leaphorn, a lieutenant of the Navajo Tribal Police. Beside Joe are Bernadette "Bern" Manuelito and Jim Chee, who help Joe investigate mysterious deaths and disappearances. The AMC series has a small, tight-knit cast but nonetheless features supporting actors and guest stars who add more complexity than what Joe, Bern and Jim already have.

The first two seasons of Dark Winds feature characters from all walks of life, even those who have only ever lived in the same town. From clear antagonists to nuanced heroes, it's difficult to say that Dark Winds has a black-and-white worldview. There may be clear "good guys" and "bad guys," but this is a gray world in which Joe is battling demons.

AMC's native-led Western crime drama thriller, Dark Winds, will be premiering its third season on Sunday, March 9. The show has, since its premiere, set a very high bar for itself, and its upcoming season will look to utilize and maintain the headwind. When the show returns, so will series stars Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon. McClarnon plays Joe Leaphorn, a lieutenant and veteran of the tribal police, and Gordon portrays his younger and more cynical partner, Jim Chee. Season 2 ended with so much drama for both local lawmen, with Leaphorn turning execution with regard to B.J. Vines (John Diehl) and Chee slowly but surely beginning to believe in the spiritual or supernatural forces at work in the world,...

Dark Winds is raising the stakes with its long-awaited third season as the AMC hit once again picks up the story of Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) as he tackles a new mystery alongside Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon). But old actions continue to haunt the leading man after he left businessman B.J. Vines (John Diehl) for dead in the desert at the end of Season 2. With Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) miles away serving a post at Border Patrol, the main trio is fractured in a sense as they’re faced with new threats in the form of a couple of series newbies, FBI Special Agent Sylvia Washington (Jenna Elfman) and Tom Spenser (Bruce Greenwood). “We made the decision to adapt two novels this year,” showrunner John Wirth tells TV Insider, explaining that Season 3 takes influence from Tony Hillerman’s Dance Hall of the Dead and The Sinister Pig, the...

Season 3 of Dark Winds, an intense crime thriller set on Navajo tribal lands in the 1970s, returns with another deep dive into the life of Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon), a lieutenant on the tribal police force. McClarnon excels as the lawman who cares deeply not only for his family, but also his people as he doggedly, often in grave danger, attempts to bring the worst of the worst to justice. But this season also deals with something more personal: the fallout from his decision to leave B.J. Vines (John Henry Diehl), the rich mine owner responsible for his son Joe Jr.’s death, to die alone in the middle of the New Mexican desert. Below, the show’s star gives us a preview of what to expect this season (premiering March 9) as he gets his wish come true: a fourth season on the way! Season 3’s opening scene is...

Dark Winds season 3 is on the way, and viewers are already wondering what the future holds for AMC's psychological neo-noir Western. Dark Winds adapts Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee novels which focus on the Navajo County tribal police. Making its debut on AMC in 2022, the first two chapters have already drawn a dedicated following. The finale of season 2 saw veteran officer Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) exact justice on B.J. Vines (John Diehl), the man responsible for his son's death — an explosive ending that left the door wide open for Dark Winds season 3.

When the release date arrives, Dark Winds season 3 will be picking up where the hugely successful second left off. The second season of Dark Winds saw a 146% viewership spike over the first (via Variety), and both AMC and the cast, crew, and creative team of Dark Winds plan to continue. Dark Winds season 3 is confirmed to be on the way,...

Navajo police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, played by Zahn McClarnon, is haunted by a bogeyman from his childhood in the third season teaser trailer for AMC’s Dark Winds, which dropped on Friday.

Leaphorn appears badgered by his demons after leaving B.J. Vines (John Diehl) in the desert to freeze to death during the second season of the noir thriller. “When I was a boy, when I went to school, we were taught that the monsters walked the Earth. When you kill a man, he’s bound to you. I’ve accepted it. And I am prepared to go on living with it, every day,” Leaphorn reveals in the third season trailer.

That’s followed by Tribal Police officer Jimmy Chee (Kiowa Gordon) appearing to try, without success, to get a severely wounded Leaphorn on the phone as his partner confronts a monster trying to stalk and kill him.

The third season,...

Quick Links Miami Vice Is One of the Most Iconic Crime Series of All Time Rebel Ridge Is a New Netflix Action Thriller Don Johnson's Rebel Ridge Character and Miami Vice Connection

Actors returning to similar roles (even sometimes being typecast) is not particularly rare. Michael Cera has played countless bad-in-their-skin teenagers, Michelle Rodriguez has rarely strayed from being a tough cookie kind of lady, and Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, and Vin Diesel are always unstoppable tough guys.

But that's rarer when the actor returns to his role after 40 years. This was the case for Don Johnson, who returned from the legendary series Miami Vice to play a cop in the new Netflix film Rebel Ridge. And he brought a little something with him.

Miami Vice DramaCrime

Release Date September 16, 1984Main Genre DramaCast Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas,...

When it comes to television in the 1980s, perhaps no other series defined the decade more than Miami Vice. Produced by Michael Mann, each episode felt like a 60-minute MTV music video, complete with pastel pinks and blues, sex appeal, and a synthesized theme that could have been composed by Depeche Mode. At the center of it all were Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas, who portrayed James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs respectively. Now, 34 years after its final episode aired on NBC, Johnson says he has a plan to bring back the influential crime drama, but admits that it would be a difficult undertaking.

Sitting down with Collider to discuss a variety of topics, the conversation turned to Miami Vice, and how, with all the sequels, reboots, and remakes that Hollywood seems to be so fond of, there has yet to be a new version of the series to hit the airwaves.

Back in 1994, writer/director Roland Emmerich and co-writer Dean Devlin brought us the sci-fi adventure film Stargate, a box office hit that launched a franchise, being followed by multiple TV shows, books, comic books, video games, and direct-to-video features. The most popular of those follow-ups was the TV series Stargate Sg-1, which ran for ten seasons and then wrapped up with the aforementioned Dtv movies. It’s been a while since we got any new Stargate to watch, though – and not for lack of trying. Back in 2014, it was announced that Emmerich and Devlin would be rebooting the franchise with a new trilogy of films, starting the story over again from the beginning and tell it to its completion. Then developed the idea for a couple of years, but then it all fell apart. Last year, we learned that Stargate is one of the properties Amazon is looking to revive now that they required MGM,...

Dark Winds season 3 has officially been renewed by AMC, following the success of the previous two seasons. The series, based on Tony Hillerman's novels, revolves around two Navajo police officers investigating a double murder case in the 1970s Southwest. Unfortunately, audiences will have to wait until early 2025 for the premiere of season 3 due to the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacting writing and production.

Dark Winds season 3 has been renewed at AMC. Based on the books by Tony Hillerman, the series follows two Navajo police officers, Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), whose spiritual beliefs are challenged as they investigate a double murder case in the Southwest during the 1970s. The Dark Winds cast also includes Jessica Matten, Deanna Allison, The Office's Rainn Wilson, Elva Guerra, and Noah Emmerich.

Now, shortly after the season 2 finale aired, Dark Winds season 3 has been renewed at AMC. According to The Hollywood Reporter,...

The sad song playing during Leaphorn's belt buckle scene in the Dark Winds season 2 finale adds even more weight to an already-poignant moment. The track, "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" by Bob Dylan, perfectly captures Leaphorn's feelings of love and longing for his late son. Leaphorn's decision to make Vines go on his own version of "The Long Walk" mirrors the song's references to long stretches of time and emphasizes the emotional tone of Dark Winds season 2.

In the Dark Winds season 2 finale, a fittingly sad song plays while Leaphorn works on his late son's belt buckle. The melancholy tune carries a great deal of meaning for the key finale moment, lending even more weight to an already-poignant scene. Based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn & Chee novels, Dark Winds is a neo-noir Western that centers on the Navajo police officers of the source material: Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Dark Winds, Season 2, Episode 6, “Hózhó náhásdlįį.”] Dark Winds‘ second season has come to a close but there are plenty of loose threads yet to be woven for Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and friends following the finale episode. Discovering that their two investigations overlap, Leaphorn and Chee (Kiowa Gordon) connect the dots, tying the mine explosion that killed Leaphorn’s son directly to B.J. Vines (John Diehl). Despite being arrested, B.J. is quickly released due to his wealth and standing in the community. As a result, Leaphorn shows up at the man’s home, and at gunpoint gets him into his truck where they drive out into the desert. Once there, Joe gets B.J. to step out into the cold and unforgiving landscape. Instead of shooting the man, he tells him to walk, noting its similarity to The Long Walk experienced by the Navajo. Ultimately, B.J. dies...

This article contains spoilers for Dark Winds season 2.

The acclaimed AMC+ neo-noir series Dark Winds, created by Graham Roland and based on the Leaphorn & Chee novel series by Tony Hillerman, has just wrapped its second season. Going deeper, darker, and more violent than its inaugural season, Dark Winds places protagonist Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) on a more personal and grueling gauntlet that leads him to journey through his own heart of darkness. This isn’t to say that the second season is an introspective story, the season kicks off with a literal bang, but it does strike particularly closer to home for Leaphorn.

Drawing elements from Hillerman’s 1980 novel People of Darkness, the second season starts out with its two leads investigating different cases before inevitably bringing them back together. Introducing a new set of supporting characters, including a genuinely menacing antagonist in Colton Wolf (Nicholas Logan), things are deadlier...

Leaphorn and Chee work on tying their cases together on AMC’s Dark Winds season two episode five. “Black Hole Sun” will premiere on August 24, 2023 on AMC+ and air on Sunday, August 27 at 9pm Et/Pt on AMC.

The season two cast is led by Zahn McClarnon (Fargo) as Lt. Joe Leaphorn, Kiowa Gordon as Jim Chee, and Jessica Matten (Burden of Truth) as Sgt. Bernadette Manuelito. Deanna Allison (Edge of America) stars as Emma Leaphorn and Elva Guerra (Reservation Dogs) is Sally Growing Thunder.

Guest stars include Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Picard) as Rosemary Vines, Nicholas Logan (Dopesick) as Colton Wolf, A Martinez (Longmire) as Valencia County Sheriff Gordo Sena, and Joseph Runningfox (The Politician) as Henry Leaphorn, Lt. Joe Leaphorn’s father.

“Black Hole Sun” Plot: With his suspect in custody, Leaphorn races against the clock to get a confession, while Chee goes undercover at the cult that ties their investigations together.

Early in the new season of Dark Winds, a wealthy woman hires Jim Chee to help recover a lockbox that was stolen from her home. A skeptical Chee says that the job sounds simple, “Except nothing ever is.”

You definitely cannot call Dark Winds Season Two simple. It features a pair of mysteries that inevitably connect in complicated ways that can at times require intense concentration to follow. Just as importantly, the series is even more ambitious in its depiction of life, death, and policing on a Navajo reservation in the early Seventies.

There is no show like Dark Winds. Anywhere. But that’s not the only reason you should be watching AMC’s sublime and well executed cop show. This is some of the finest storytelling you will find on the small screen, with some of the most interesting characters in intriguing situations in a setting that often feels otherworldly. In season two, Dark Winds spares no time getting things rolling. There is a new villain, new dilemmas, new characters, and an unrelenting film noir thrill permeating the show’s DNA.

Based on Tony Hillerman’s best-selling novel People of Darkness, the series is set in 1971 on a remote area of the Navajo Nation with Monument Valley providing a lush, scenic backdrop. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon of Westworld and Reservation Dogs) returns, of course, this time facing a bigger problem that hits too close to home. Leaphorn runs the Tribal Police,...

Mikey (1992)

Director Dennis Dimster-Denk’s Mikey had the tagline “Remember, Jason and Freddy were kids once too”, and the movie does its best to make sure the titular creepy kid (played by Brian Bonsall) is just as deadly as any adult slasher. Mikey does some really nasty stuff in this movie and racks up an impressive body count… and Dimster-Denk certainly wasn’t afraid of pushing the envelope. The movie begins with the murder of a five-year-old and proceeds to show Mikey obsessively creeping...

Editors note: Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series debuts and celebrates the scripts of films that will factor in this year’s movie awards races.

Writer-director James Gray went back to the personal for Armageddon Time, the autobiographical story that pulls from Gray’s own upbringing in a multi-generational Jewish-American family in the Flushing, Queens neighborhood of New York City.

The Focus Features film confronts issues of race and class against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan’s impending election as president in 1980. It had its world premiere in May at the Cannes Film Festival and hit theaters in late October.

Succession star and Emmy winner Jeremy Strong (a fellow New Yorker) stars in Armageddon Time as Irving Graff, essentially Gray’s real-life father. The plot centers on the Graffs taking their son Paul (Banks Repeta) from public school to a private one supported by Fred Trump, Donald Trump’s father...

Armageddon Time director James Gray’s got a tip for aspiring filmmakers: If you want to look good as a director, work with gifted actors, like Anthony Hopkins, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong.

“I’m a big fan of great actors because what they do is tend to make you look considerably more capable than you actually are,” Gray joked during a panel for his Focus Features film at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles awards-season event. “You write a line and you sit at home and you have the computer and the yellow legal pad and the thing and you go, ‘Uh, is that a good line? I don’t know if it’s a good line.’ And then you go on the set and all of a sudden you say, ‘He made it work.’ ”

Armageddon Time is Gray...

Director James Gray based his new movie "Armageddon Time" on a true story about his youth growing up in Queens in 1980 in a Jewish family. In the new film, Paul (Banks Repeta) is a teenage boy who dreams of being an artist in a family that mostly doesn't understand him. When he gets in trouble at public school alongside his friend Johnny (Jaylin Webb), who's black, his parents (played by Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway) transfer him to an elite private school. As Paul's school tries to indoctrinate him into an upper class, capitalist mindset, his grandfather (Anthony Hopkins) tries to remind him to be a good person. All of this takes place with Ronald Reagan's election looming in the backdrop. The movie's title even comes from a Reagan quote: "We might be the generation that sees Armageddon" the then-presidential candidate said during a 1979 interview. Armageddon in the New...

Warning: This post contains major spoilers for Armageddon Time

Armageddon Time has an interesting backstory. Written and directed by James Gray, the film stars Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins, and more in a star-studded line-up. The film takes its inspiration from Gray’s own life, but there are elements of the film that are only based in truth.

One of the Armageddon Time’s biggest surprises is the appearance of Fred Trump, Donald Trump’s father, and Maryanne Trump, his sister. John Diehl and Jessica Chastain’s roles, respectively, are minor, but effective. With the story following 12-year-old Paul Graff (Banks Repeta), his friend Johnny (Jaylin Webb), and the layers of systemic oppression, the film’s ending leaves audiences with a lot to think about. But how much of Armageddon Time is real, and what are the Trump connections? Here is a guide to the film’s true story and inspirations.

James Gray is reminiscing about his childhood in Queens in the first trailer for his semi-autobiographical film “Armageddon Time.”

Inspired by the director’s upbringing in 1980s Queens, the film loosely follows Gray’s experiences as a student at the Kew-Forest School in New York City — where Donald Trump also attended. Starring newcomer Banks Repeta as Paul Graff, “Armageddon Time” also includes Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway as Paul’s parents Irving and Esther, and Anthony Hopkins as his grandfather. Additional cast members include Jaylin Webb, Ryan Sell, Tovah Feldshuh and John Diehl as Fred Trump.

In May, Hathaway and Gray broke into tears as the film received a seven-minute standing ovation following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Viewers were also surprised to see Jessica Chastain appear in a small cameo as Donald Trump’s sister, Maryanne.

Chastain told Variety in June that she agreed to play the...
