According to reporting by Variety, Channing played “a bona fide American movie star (Tatum) will participate in a chemical weapon attack simulation.”

Here’s a synopsis of Atropia from Sundance: “When an aspiring actress in a military role-playing facility falls in love with a soldier cast as an insurgent, their unsimulated emotions threaten to derail the performance.”

Speaking to Variety, Alia confirmed that she is the one who helped get Channing to agree to the role.

“Chan has been an amazing friend,” she gushed. “We emailed him and asked him to come do it. He responded — but he didn’t respond right away — and said,...

Two-time Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins is set to join a loaded cast for an upcoming HBO limited series from The Pursuit of Happiness writer Steven Conrad.

Per Variety, Jenkins has officially joined the cast for Dtf St. Louis, an HBO limited series that is currently in pre-production. Per the official logline, Dtf St. Louis is "about a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age malaise, that leads to one of them ending up dead." Jenkins stars alongside Jason Bateman (Ozark), David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini (Hawkeye). The limited series was originally based on a New Yorker article by James Lasdun titled, "My Dentist’s Murder Trial: Adultery, False Identities, and a Lethal Sedation" with Pedro Pascal set to star. However, Pascal has since departed the project and Dtf St. Louis is no longer based on Lasdun's piece.

Jason Bateman has been in the acting business since he was a child, and though he had a lot of projects as a child and teen performer, Bateman’s best movies and tv shows are all from his career as an adult. His career began with television commercials in the 1980s before he gained roles in shows like Little House on the Prairie and Silver Spoons. Though a lot of working child actors might not be able to successfully transition to more adult roles, Bateman did, and he found his niche mostly in comedic roles.

Bateman also made history when he directed episodes of The Hogan Family in the 1980s at just 18 years old. At the time, he was the youngest member of the Directors Guild of America. Bateman directed three episodes of the show, and as an actor today, he often pulls double-duty as a director too. He has...

Ever since its debut before the holiday season, Carry-On has been a big hit for Netflix, securing solid reviews and audience feedback that has turned into a considerable amount of views for the platform. As the film has steadily climbed in viewership, Carry-On has begun to become one of Netflix's top-performing films and has just recently knocked a fan-favorite sequel directed by Rian Johnson out of their Top 5.

Per Variety, Carry-On has entered Netflix's most popular English-language films list at number five, with a total of 149.5 million views since it debuted on the streamer last month. By cracking the Top 5, Carry-On knocks Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery out of the fifth spot, and joins the ranks of Red Notice (currently holding the top spot), Don't Look Up, The Adam Project, and Bird Box. All of these films have put in stellar numbers that Carry-On could very well encroach on.

Netflix has a complicated history of deciding which projects are worth it and which aren't. Despite its stellar cast starring Taron Egerton, Jason Batemen, Theo Rossi, and Danielle Deadwyler, there was no guarantee Carry-On would have the success it's experiencing.

The Christmas thriller debuted on the first spot in the charts after its Dec. 13 premiere and has been holding on to the first spot since then. For the week between Dec. 30 and Jan. 6, Carry-On is still holding on to the first place and has already hit an important achievement. The additional screenings since its premiere helped Carry-On fly to the Most Popular English Top 10, debuting in fifth place with 149.4 million views in less than a month since its premiere, Netflix confirmed.

Full of twists and turns, Netflix’s latest action thriller, Carry-On, follows Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton), a Tsa officer working at Lax airport on Christmas Eve. When a mysterious traveler (Jason Bateman) slips him an earpiece, Ethan is told to comply with the traveler’s orders, or his pregnant girlfriend, Nora Parisi (Sofia Carson), will die. Caught between doing the right thing and saving Nora’s life, Ethan does his best to alert the authorities without tipping off the traveler.

However, time and again, the traveler is seemingly one step ahead of Ethan. Having tapped into the airport’s security cameras, the traveler and his associate, the watcher (Theo Rossi), see everything. Even when Ethan successfully slips a note to a police officer, the traveler intersects the officer...

Warning: Spoilers for Carry-On.

The newest action thriller from Netflix, Carry-On, just dropped on the platform, and it’s quite an enjoyable wild ride. Set amid the hustle and bustle of Lax airport on Christmas Eve, the movie could easily become everyone’s favorite holiday rewatch, especially for all the people who think Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Carry-On follows Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton), a Tsa officer who just found out he and his girlfriend, Nora Parisi (Sofia Carson), are expecting their first child.

After failing to make it through to the police academy, after lying on his polygraph test, Ethan has spent the last few years seemingly void of any real personal dreams or aspirations, clearly scared to apply to the academy again. Having remained rather stagnant as a Tsa officer, he decides to discuss a possible promotion with his boss now that he’s going to be a father.

The Taron Egerton thriller Carry-On has become a success on Rotten Tomatoes. The new movie, which follows a Tsa agent who is threatened via an earpiece by a mysterious terrorist (Jason Bateman) who wants him to let a dangerous package through security, was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who helmed the Liam Neeson action-thrillers Unknown, Non-Stop, Run All Night, and The Commuter. The Carry-On cast also includes Logan Marshall-Green, Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Theo Rossi, Dean Norris, and Sinqua Walls.

Rotten Tomatoes has now calculated an official score for Carry-On. While the score could fluctuate as more reviews are added, now that 22 different critics have weighed in, the movie has debuted on the review aggregator platform with a solidly Fresh score of 86%. This continues a positive five-year streak for the star, who has not had a Rotten score on the platform since 2018's Robin Hood, which was one of just three...

When the manager of the transportation security officers at Lax greets his bleary-eyed employees with a chipper “good morning” at the beginning of Carry-On, Jaume Collet-Serra’s low-key gripping thriller, his voice drips with sarcasm.

It is Christmas Eve at the bustling airport, which means it is decidedly not a good morning. The stakes are high for the hundreds of agents responsible for shepherding anxious and impatient travelers through security checkpoints. The bag scans, the body searches and the changing instructions around shoes and laptops are triggering for a citizenry worn down by the post-9/11 security apparatus. So truthfully, it’s a bad morning — and, at least for Ethan Kopek (an excellent Taron Egerton), it’s about to get worse.

Carry-On, which premieres on Netflix this Friday, Dec. 13, follows the slacker Tsa agent through what might be his most challenging day on the job. It begins on fairly normal grounds,...

In an attempt to most obviously appeal to fans of Die Hard (and who isn’t?), director Jaume Collet-Serra has come up with something designed for them, especially for those who like Christmas movies that will freak you out.

Of course Die Hard was a hard-core action thriller set in a office tower in Century City at Christmas, but many are hard-pressed to call it a “Christmas movie” — even though it always turns up near the top of Yuletide favorites. Collet-Serra, in setting a thriller on Christmas Eve during the most crowded time imaginable for travelers, put his film Carry-On at Lax, one of the world’s busiest airports, and that becomes the perfect setting if you want a heart-racing action flick with a holiday chaser.

Of course a film like this is unquestionably derivative with elements of any number in the genre from Speed to Phone Booth, and other...

For at least the first half of Carry-On, I often noticed my thoughts wandering away from the action onscreen. This is something I pay attention to more closely when watching to review – it's always notable when a movie doesn't hold your focus, even if it's not always to blame. But I was more aware of it than usual this time because I wasn't thinking about my day, or my next meal, or what I had to do tomorrow. My wandering thoughts never really left the movie. I was not thinking about Carry-On the story, but Carry-On the story vehicle.

James Gunn is set to introduce a rebooted DC Universe with Creature Commandos this week, but he contemplated beginning the new cinematic universe using the Caped Crusader. Matt Reeves' The Batman operates in its own Elseworld timeline far away from other superheroes, and it has worked wonders to create a grounded, epic crime saga that audiences have fallen in love with. However, it seems DC Studios did in fact think about putting Robert Pattinson's Batman in the Dcu.

While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn talked about the upcoming Dcu and was asked if he originally thought he might have to implement The Batman into the larger cinematic universe. Furthermore, if he has reevaluated his stance on keeping things separate. Gunn teases that he has "contemplated" everything when it comes to the rebooted universe, and Batman is no exception. However, he reassures fans that he is committed to...

There’s no denying that acclaimed horror author Stephen King watches a lot of TV shows and movies. Before he made the jump to the social media platform Threads, he regularly shared his opinion on some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters and hidden gems over on Elon Musk’s X. Though the platform is different, King remains the same as he ever was, recently calling out a big problem that a lot of us have with many modern productions.

Taking to his Threads account, King posed the question, "Are a lot of streaming shows f**king dark, or is it me?" His query prompted a variety of responses, mainly because people at first weren’t sure if he meant "dark" as in content, or "dark" as in "someone should turn on the lights" After clarifying that he meant "visually dark" and adding, "even the funny ones," it all became clear...

Despite DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn’s confirmation that a script for The Batman: Part II hasn’t been finished, one actor from The Batman (2022) has an interesting idea of who could be the villain in writer-director Matt Reeves's follow-up. Jeffrey Wright, who played James Gordon in The Batman told The Movie Dweeb that the son of James Gordon, James Gordon Jr., would make for a great adversary for the caped crusader.

“There’s a lot to choose from,” said Wright when asked which character from the universe he would like to see tangle with Gordon and Batman. “You know, Gordon actually has a son who becomes somewhat nefarious. That could be a possibility,” said The Hunger Games actor. Gordon’s son has never been adapted into a live-action version of Batman.

It seemed as though Wright had thought of the idea before because he said he had “some ideas,...

Jeffrey Wright, who played Commissioner Jim Gordon in Matt Reeves's The Batman, has now provided some insight on the scrapped Gotham Pd series that was once in development for HBO. Set within Reeves's The Batman universe, the series would have centered on a third generation Gotham cop who realizes he's on the wrong side of the law. Boardwalk Empire showrunner and The Sopranos executive producer Terence Winter would have served as the show's main creative lead before the project fell apart back in 2022. During an interview with The Playlist's "Bingeworthy" podcast, Wright confirmed that he was in early talks to have his iteration of Gordon appear in Gotham Pd.

"Yeah, there was a possibility. And then things happen behind the scenes. But Gordon wasnt to have been central to that, which I thought was cool, too. He was going to pop in and out of that."

Winters also previously revealed that,...

One thing that audiences love about movies is the story's villain. Whether they're zany and charismatic or dark and mysterious, many villains have made their way into being pop culture icons fondly remembered for decades.

And one of the most impressive things a villain can do in a story is beat the protagonists. Although it's only on rare occasions, there are several great movies where the bad guy gets away with it in the end.

The Batman actor Barry Keoghan has officially addressed all the whispers about Joker's return in Matt Reeves' superhero universe. James Gunn previously shut down the rumor about Keoghan's Joker getting his own HBO TV spinoff after The Penguin, but the iconic villain is still expected to appear in the epic crime saga at some point. The actor himself has now weighed in on his next potential appearance, and it may make fans queasy about his role in The Batman franchise.

While on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Keoghan was asked about his brief but impressive debut as the Joker in The Batman. As he talked about the importance of the role within the context of previous award-winning performances, he sprinkled some doubt about his next opportunity to play the villain. Although most fans expect him to play a big part in The Batman sequels, it seems Keoghan has yet...

This article contains Major Spoilers for The Penguin Episode 8, "A Great or Little Thing."

The Penguin's titular villain transcended his previous depictions in film and comics. Now that Season 2 is on the table, a continuing story could revive one of Oz Cobb's unresolved frustrations.

Oz Cobb was more invested in Selina Kyle than The Batman led audiences to believe. Director Matt Reeves said this was Oz's implicit backstory in The Penguin; it also explains the villain's deep motivations. "Oz will never be sated in trying to achieve power, and a thing in the movie which we cut out where Oz clearly had these feelings for Selina," he told THR. "And when he realized she didn't return them, he tells her, 'One day, this city's going to be mine.' And he said it in a very unsettling way." That scene would have made Oz's story more compelling in The Penguin,...

Jason Bateman is the ultimate Grinch in the trailer for upcoming Netflix Christmas film “Carry-On” — you know, if the Grinch’s M.O. was more mass murder than toy theft.

This holiday season we’re thankful for Taron Egerton, who plays a low-level Tso, which is a Tsa agent, hand-selected by Bateman to be his forced accomplice. Bateman’s a domestic terrorist who is trying to get a bag through airport security and onto a plane; context clues tell us that it’s not just a water he purchased before the checkpoint.

Taron Egerton plays a blackmailed Tsa agent who receives special instructions from an unknown passenger in the new Carry-On trailer; the film premieres Dec. 13 via Netflix. “You got 10 minutes before everyone in this airport dies,” the unknown passenger, played by Jason Bateman, says. “All you have to do is nothing.”

The trailer, released Wednesday, features an explosive car crash, shoot-outs, and a carry-on bag with an undisclosed weapon. Carry-On follows novice Tsa agent Ethan who attempts to stop the unknown traveler from letting the deadly package onto a Christmas Eve flight.

Jason Bateman has gone real no-more-Mr. Nice Guy on us.

The “Ozark,” “Horrible Bosses,” and “Game Night” star puts on a domestic-terrorist face (and hat) in the teaser for Netflix Christmas movie “Carry-On.” It’s, ah, not exactly “Elf.”

In “Carry-On,” before Bateman can terrorize a Christmas Eve flight, he first must make Taron Egerton’s job a living hell. Oh, and he might just kill the young Tsa agent’s significant other, played by Sofia Carson, as well.

“One bag for one life,” is Bateman’s blackmail offer.

We’re guessing he doesn’t have Clear.

Basically, Bateman targets Egerton to let his mysterious suitcase through the security scanners and onto the airplane. We don’t quite know (yet) what is in the package, but considering the gunfire and Tom Cruise-esque sprinting through the airport, Bateman’s cargo is probably a bit worse than nail clippers.

The Farewell allowed Awkwafina to showcase her dramatic talent, proving she can handle mixed roles beyond comedy. The film's cultural impact was significant, featuring an all-Asian cast and using the director's real family, adding authenticity. Awkwafina's historic Golden Globe win for Best Actress sends a powerful message to marginalized Asian actors and opens doors for greater opportunities in Hollywood.

When people consider the career of Awkwafina (née Nora Lum) they often think of the goofy characters and over-the-top performances in such films as Shang Chi (2021) and Crazy Rich Asians (2018). However, she has also played her share of dramatic roles. Yet none of these roles compare to her first real dramatic turn in the 2019 film The Farewell.

The Batman was supposed to be released in theaters today, but thanks to the pandemic, it just wasn't meant to be. Early last year, the anticipated superhero movie started production with Matt Reeves directing and Robert Pattinson starring as the new Bruce Wayne. It was perhaps the worst possible time to start rolling cameras, as the subsequent spread of Covid-19 months later shut down nearly every major movie and television production across the globe.

In March of last year, Reeves revealed that filming on The Batman had been suspended indefinitely until it was safe to start shooting again. This prompted Warner Bros. to push the release back from June 25 to October 1. When the project finally resumed filming in September 2020, Pattinson was diagnosed with Covid-19 just days later, causing yet another delay. It all mounted up to the studio deciding to release the movie on March 4, 2022, to give Reeves and crew...

Perhaps coming straight from a new teaser expected to debut at this weekend's DC FanDome, images of Robert Pattinson in character as The Batman seem to have leaked online. Previously, director Matt Reeves revealed a sneak peek at Pattinson under the cowl, giving us our first look at how the Twilight star will appear when suited up as the Dark Knight. Now, there are new photos floating around on social media said to be leaked directly from the teaser footage of Pattinson's take of the superhero's alter ego, Bruce Wayne.

In two of the images, Robert Pattinson can be seen brooding rather well, which is certainly a must-have qualification to play Batman. Another photo shows him apparently working on the Batmobile. Of course, the legitimacy of the photos have yet to be officially confirmed by Warner Bros.,...

So far, all we have really seen of Robert Pattinson's The Batman suit is a red-tinted, dark image courtesy of director Matt Reeves back in February. Whilst the short footage gave fans a reasonably good idea of what the suit will look like, there is still much that remains a mystery. Well, this fanmade, well-lit 3D portrait gives us a pretty good look at the detail of the The Batman's newest suit, and they certainly look like the kind of duds you'd want to be sportin' when taking on the Gotham City underworld.

The image that has been rendered is very impressive, though it is unlikely that The Batman will find the DC superhero standing in the middle of an open field in broad daylight at any stage. The hilarious setting aside, the image gives us a clear visual of the top half of the suit, and what it...

So far, director Matt Reeves' The Batman has left fans both eager and apprehensive in equal measure. With many wanting a continuation of Ben Affleck's adventures under the cowl, the movie is going to have to work pretty hard to win some people over. Well, The Batman star Jeffrey Wright is here to entice you with some details, with the actor describing the movie as the "next evolution" of Batman stories.

"My take is - the way I explain what we're doing is, like with any film, we're working together to create a mood, to create an idea, a setting, a tone. This is the next evolution since 1939 when these stories began."

Claiming that The Batman will be the next step since the iconic DC character's debut is bold, especially considering the sheer number of times that the character has been written and portrayed on both the big and small screen.

Anya could have been a simple love story. But this love story packs an emotional punch with the help of science.

Anya is the first narrative feature from award-winning documentarians Jacob Akira Okada and Carylanna Taylor.

Their earlier endeavor, Painting the Way to the Moon, featured mathematician and artist Ed Belbruno and his discovery of a new way to space travel.

Given their love of science, it shouldn't be a surprise that their first feature explores science enveloped in a lovely romance.

Most couples meet, fall in love, get married, and begin their families. That's what Libby (Ali Ahn) and Marco (Gil Perez-Abraham) believe, too.

"You think one's life belongs to oneself." A24 unveiled a trailer for the indie drama The Farewell, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to immediate acclaim. The Farewell is the second feature film by talented filmmaker Lulu Wang, telling a very personal story about a Chinese family that discovers their grandmother doesn't have much longer left to live. Awkwafina stars as Billi, a woman living in New York who reluctantly travels back to China to be with her. Her family makes her keep the news a secret, only spending time with Nai Nai without telling her why they're all really there. Also starring Zhao Shuzhen as grandma, Tzi Ma, Gil Perez-Abraham, Diana Lin, Ines Laimins, Jim Liu, X Mayo, Aoi Mizuhara, and Han Chen. This was one of my favorite films from Sundance, and I can't wait for everyone to be able to watch it, and be moved by it.
