For a show that can’t escape the term “prescient,” it’s fitting that one critic knew exactly what would doom “The Handmaid’s Tale” before anyone else even knew it was doomed. Not me, of course. I would never claim such credit even if I deserved it. But in her 2017 review of the first season, New Yorker critic Emily Nussbaum (who won the Pulitzer Prize just a year earlier) framed her critique in the sturdy housing of history.

She starts off noting the adaptation’s “grotesque timeliness,” arriving just a few months into Trump’s first term, while also noting how many other critics have noted the same thing. So she shifts gears, appraising the American landscape that received Margaret Atwood’s esteemed book: “Just a decade earlier,” Nussbaum writes, “a woman could be denied a credit card without a man to co-sign, and yet, by 1985, when the novel was written,...

Whether or not anybody really wanted a fourth Matrix movie (we didn’t), getting Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburne to reprise Neo, Trinity and Morpheus was clutch. There was only one problem: Laurence Fishburne wasn’t going to be in The Matrix Resurrections. And while the story was originally that Fishburne was never asked, the actor now says he actually tried to be a part of it.

Appearing on The View, Laurence Fishburne claimed that he approached those making The Matrix Resurrections but was quickly turned away. “I offered my services to the fourth Matrix, and they didn’t respond well to that. Hey, it’s not like I didn’t say, ‘I’d like to offer my services.’ I did. And for whatever reason, that didn’t happen, Ok.” Instead, he would be replaced by The Trial of the Chicago 7’s Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, playing an entity merely embodying the character.

What do you get when you mix Nora Ephron with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers? The combination might seem antithetical, but it works scarily well in director Josh Ruben‘s sweet, funny, terrifying rom-com/slasher movie mash-up, “Heart Eyes.”

Working from an inventive script by Phillip Murphy, Christopher Landon, and Michael Kennedy, Ruben somehow deftly satisfies fans of both “Sleepless in Seattle” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” An iconic new horror villain is born in the form of the movie’s Heart Eyes Killer, a slasher who stalks young lovers each Valentine’s Day.

Ruben, as he explained to IndieWire, wanted the movie’s two sides to be equally strong so that the horror would deepen the romance made all the more terrifying because of our investment in the two young lovers (Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding) fleeing from the Heart Eyes Killer. In studying films of both genres,...

One video resurfaced, and it stirred some curiosity. P. Diddy and Tracee Ellis Ross appeared together, casually toasting shots of vodka. But something seemed off: Ross looked like she was just pretending to drink. Were they really sipping vodka, or was it all for show? The visual raised questions and got people talking.

Fans couldn’t decide if it was an act for the camera or a quirky personal choice. Either way, it made for a memorable moment that had social media questioning intentions, appearances, and whether everything was as it seemed.

Exclusive: UTA has signed The Sympathizer star Hoa Xuande for representation.

Xuande is currently the lead in the A24/HBO series, which hails from visionary director Park Chan-wook and Don McKellar and is based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name.

Set during the Vietnam War, the series follows ‘The Captain’ (Xuande), a North Vietnamese spy in the South Vietnamese army, who stays embedded in a South Vietnamese community in exile in the United States. The series also stars Robert Downey Jr., Sandra Oh, Fred Nguyen Khan and Duy Nguyen. For his performance, he was nominated for a Gotham TV Award for their inaugural program in the ‘Outstanding Performance in a Limited Series’ category.

He can previously be seen in the Cineflix series Last King of the Cross in the role of ‘Romeo’ alongside Tim Roth; Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop as ‘Lin’; the indie feature A Stitch in Time,...

The Matrix vet Carrie-Anne Moss opened up about the difference between her Jedi training for Star Wars: The Acolyte and her action experience with the Keanu Reeves-led sci-fi franchise. In the upcoming Disney+ series, Moss will be portraying a Jedi master named Indara, who, as seen in the trailers, will have an intense fight sequence with Amandla Stenbergs character.

Speaking with Empire, Moss confirmed that her training for The Acolyte took three to four weeks long, which definitely felt different from her previous experience of preparing for Trinitys action sequences in The Matrix movies. "I think all of my history of learning to fight and-This was very different though, because I was by myself. I had always done [The Matrix] with my co-stars, and theres a certain energy," she said. "[On The Acolyte ] I was on my own, with my team, which was great because I got to ignite and access a part of myself.

The It Crowd was a British workplace comedy that aired from 2006 to 2013 — here are The It Crowd best episodes. From The Office to 30 Rock, the 2000s was a golden era for workplace comedies and The It Crowd was definitely one of the best of them. Following the shenanigans of a dysfunctional It Department, this BAFTA-winning series was clever, wonderfully absurd, and truly one of a kind. Starring Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids), Richard Ayoade (The Watch), and Katherine Parkinson (Easy Virtue) as the three leads, The It Crowd followed the bumbling It department of Reynholm Industries and their excursions both in and outside of work.

Lasting four seasons and one special, shows like The It Crowd are hard to come by and the series had a range of memorable episodes. The It Crowd profited from its absurdist situational humor and comedic efforts from the main ensemble trio. Over the course of the series,...

There are plenty of stories about criminals, their paths to salvation, and being mired in a cycle of poor decisions. “Florida Man” recounts the same narrative in a more humorous and pulpy tone. With excellent performances and an intricate plotline, the series pulls off the feat of providing an entertaining show to a specific sort of audience that is always craving crime thrillers. However, too many subplots, turns, and twists in “Florida Man” final episode feel unnecessary and seem to have been inserted simply to extend the story rather than bring it to a satisfying conclusion. From the very start of the series, the several subplots didn’t bore us, but at the ending, it felt predictable and didn’t really surprise us. However, let’s explore the ending to know better where the story of “Florida Man ” actually headed.

Who Killed Moss? What Happened To Delly?

Maya Hawke was the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night. The Stranger Things star and singer/songwriter performed “Thérèse,” a cut from her recent sophomore album Moss.

Clad in a gold crown and an elaborate velvet dress, Hawke looked particularly regal as she took over the Fallon stage. Adding an unexpected twist, she kicked off the performance with the final moments of her song “South Elroy,” the track that appears right before “Thérèse” on Moss, before its seamless transition into the main song of the night.

Hawke might be best known to most audiences as Robin Buckley from Hawkins, Indiana, but her Fallon guest appearance proved that she can steal scenes on both the stage and the screen. Check out Maya Hawke’s enchanting performance of “Thérèse” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon below.

Hawke celebrated the release of Moss with a short run...

Stranger Things star Maya Hawke performed her single “Thérèse” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday — but the actorly performance she delivered would have been better served on a theatre stage.

Inspired by the Balthus painting “Thérèse dreaming,” the song from Hawke’s latest album Moss tells the tale of a young woman trapped inside of a painting and the inability for anyone to see her as anything beyond the still image she was captured as. On stage at Fallon, the singer leaned into her acting background and...

Mark Bristol directed Texas-set feel-good adventure.

Taylor & Dodge has boarded worldwide sales on the feel-good adventure feature Chocolate Lizards starring Thomas Haden Church, Rudy Pankow, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Bruce Dern.

Mark Bristol directed the story, which follows Harvard-educated Erwin Vandeveer (Pankow) who blows his first acting job and finds himself in Texas where he is taken under the wing of the nearly bankrupt oil driller Merle Luskey (Church) and his cohort Faye (Moss), who see him as their “savin’ angel”.

The trio set off on an adventure to outwit the bank, the sheriff, and a corrupt oil company...

Sundance debut Sorry to Bother You opens in seven markets this weekend via Annapurna, which picked up the title out of the festival. Written and directed by Boots Riley, the genre-bending fantasy-sic-fi stars Lakeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson. Cannes 2018 doc Whitney will go out in well several hundred locations, hoping to tap the momentum of docs Rbg, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? and Three Identical Strangers, which have had robust theatrical runs this spring/summer. Time will tell whether the Whitney Houston pic can replicate the success of the 2015 Amy Winehouse doc Amy, which also spotlighted a musical sensation who died way too soon. That A24 release took in more than $8.4M and an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. And Breaking Glass Pictures is opening Daniel Peddle’s adventure-drama Moss in two New York and L.A. locations ahead of an on-demand release July 10.

Other limited rollouts this weekend include...

Never open strange old boxes. It’s a lesson no one ever follows in horror movies.

From the director John R. Leonetti (Annabelle), Wish Upon follows a young girl who was given a strange box by her father that grants seven wishes. For every wish granted, a blood sacrifice is made and her love ones suffer the consequences of her wishes.

The film stars Joey King (Independence Day: Resurgence), Ryan Phillipe (Cruel Intentions), Ki Hong Lee (Maze Runner), Mitchell Slaggert (Moss), Shannon Purser (Stranger Things) and Sydney Park (The Walking Dead).

Wish Upon will be playing nationwide in theaters starting this Friday.

Lrm had a one-on-one interview with Ki Hong Lee on his strong supporting role in the film. He plays an Asian skater, who has a secret crush on the girl with the wish box. He assists her on uncovering the secrets of the box.

A mini-odyssey set on the title character’s 18th birthday, Moss is a quiet, slender drama that resounds with hefty questions. Writer-director Daniel Peddle has made three documentaries and one previous narrative feature (Sunset Edge), each concerned with marginal, unsung or isolated lives, and here he delves into a fascinating rural world, captivatingly undeveloped. With its sensory immersion in nature and its yearning characters, the gorgeously shot film is a memorable study of solitude and connection.

As Moss, model-turned-actor Mitchell Slaggert embodies the character's bottled-up frustration as well as his readiness for new experience. On Pleasure Island, the coastal corner of North...

When a documentarian goes through a life change as major as adopting their first child, it seems only natural that they would want to document the experience. Enter the provocatively titled “The F Word,” a short comedic docu-series about one queer couple’s foster-to-adopt journey. It follows Emmy-nominated director Nicole Opper and her partner (in life and producing) Kristan Cassidy as they navigate the nightmarish bureaucracy that is America’s child welfare system.

Taking a lighthearted approach to a complex and potentially heartbreaking story, the couple are charming and self-deprecating as they baby proof their home, cruise cute babies, and brace themselves for invasive questions from their case worker. The smart and engaging take on an underrepresented topic earned “The F Word” slots at San Francisco’s Frameline Film Festival, as well as the Los Angeles Film Festival, both happening this month.

Tell your mom to maker her calendar, because Stephen Frears and Dame Judi Dench are coming in hot with another highbrow tearjerker, “Victoria and Abdul,” which released its first trailer today.

Forget the blockbusters and the high profile indie releases like “The Beguiled” and “It Comes At Night.” For many cinephiles, the biggest event of the summer movie season is the long-awaited return of Steven Soderbergh to the big screen, and today we finally have our first look at footage form his upcoming race car capper “Logan Lucky.”

Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Riley Keough play down-on-their-luck siblings who attempt to reverse a family curse by carrying out an extensive robbery during the Coca-Cola 600 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Think of it like a much less glamorous version of Soderbergh’s hit “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise. The star-studded cast also includes Daniel Craig, Hilary Swank, Katharine Waterston and Katie Holmes.

The main of attraction is Soderbergh, however, who...

Netflix has released the trailer for its original comic crime thriller “Shimmer Lake,” starring Rainn Wilson, Benjamin Walker and Wyatt Russell. The film marks the directorial debut of “22 Jump Street” and “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” writer Oren Uziel.

Read More: Netflix: Full List of Movies Arriving in June 2017 Includes ‘Okja’ and ‘The Sixth Sense’

Written by Uziel, “Shimmer Lake” follows local sheriff Zeke Sikes (Walker) as he attempts to untangle the mystery of three small-town criminals and a bank robbery gone wrong. Wilson plays Andy, the sheriff’s brother who recklessly attempts to rob a bank, and the two unknowingly embark on a game of cat-and-mouse. The story, which involves many shady characters, is told backwards, reversing day by day through a week. The film also stars Rob Corddry, Ron Livingston, Stephanie Sigman, Adam Pally, John Michael Higgins, Mark Rendall, Angela Vint and Isabelle Dove as Andy’s daughter Sally.

Set in the American South, Daniel Peddle’s Los Angeles Film Festival premiere “Moss” finds former Ck model Mitchell Slaggert taking on a tricky role. As the eponymous Moss, Slaggert is tasked with playing an isolated young man grappling with a legacy he doesn’t fully understand. Motherless since birth, Moss is eager to break away from his resentful father, and he thinks his 18th birthday is the perfect time for such a life change.

Moss unexpectedly meets someone new during his chosen day of busting loose, a mysterious hiker who opens his eyes to the possibilities of the world — at least partially aided by psychedelics. What follows looks to be a lush, lyrical look at life in Southern Gothic America and the people who are tied to it forever.
