Fans first got a sense of their friendship when Momoa and Tatum showed their support for Kravitz at the world premiere of The Batman in New York City last year. The actors, who have been friends for years, were on hand to cheer on Kravitz, and inside sources told People that this was not the first time they have spent time together.

“Channing and Jason have known each other through mutual friends for years.

On March 4, DC Comics fans will see Zoë Kravitz step into the role of Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle, in "The Batman," starring "Twilight" alum Robert Pattinson. Ahead of the film's release, Kravitz is opening up about her character's sexuality. A scene that shows Selina calling her friend Anika "baby" while looking for her in her apartment is causing many viewers to wonder, is Selina bisexual? "That's definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship," the 33-year-old star told Pedestrian.tv in a recent interview.

"The Batman" director Matt Reeves also weighed in on the sexuality of Kravitz's version of Catwoman. "In terms of her relationship with Anika, I spoke to Zoë very early on and one of the things she said which I loved was that: 'She's drawn to strays because she was a stray and so she really wants to care for these...

Now that's some super support. Channing Tatum and Jason Momoa jumped into their batmobile to go see Zoë Kravitz in her new movie The Batman. "Cheeeehuuuuuuuu," the Aquaman star wrote on Instagram Feb. 28 alongside a photo of himself with Zoë's boyfriend. "So Excited @channingtatum and I are on our way to see our Zozo. Finally @thebatman premiere." After saying how he was "so beyond proud" of Zoë, who plays Selina Kyle (a.k.a. Catwoman) alongside Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne in the film, Jason—who recently split from her mom Lisa Bonet—gave...

Leave it to a film director to try to come up with some new ideas for video games. Josef Fares, best known for his work "Zozo" and other award-winning Swedish films, has teamed up with Starbreeze Studios, best known for their work on "The Darkness" and "The Chronicles of Riddick" (both of them) to collaborate on an all new title, "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons," an experiential, single-player story. Fares' cinematic background gives him a unique perspective on the craft of telling stories, making his first foray into gaming a bit unconventional.

"Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" is a single-player, adventure-puzzle game that puts players simultaneously in control of two brothers - one older and one younger - as they go on a search to find a cure for their sick father. That was just about everything that Fares would reveal about the story in the game. He...

Starbreeze has announced a partnership with award-winning director Josef Fares for a new intellectual property. Starbreeze is currently developing the first-person shooter revival of Syndicate, but was won over by a prototype presented by the Swedish director and The Story Lab. "Just minutes into Josef's presentation we knew that this was a game that we wanted to develop, and we started to work on the concept the very same day," said Starbreeze CEO Mikael Nermark. Josef Fares is an acclaimed Swedish director of films like Jalla! Jalla!, Kopps, Zozo (more)...

Berlin -- Writer-director Lars von Trier and producer Meta Louise Foldager have received the 2009 Nordic Council Film Prize for their art house shocker "Antichrist."

The prize, which comes with a $70,500 bursary, is presented annually to a feature film "of cultural value" produced in the Nordic territories. Previous winners include Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki for "The Man Without a Past" (2002) and "Zozo" from Swedish filmmaker Josef Fares.

The 2009 jury praised "Antichrist" as a "wild, visually beautiful and shockingly violent film," that "breaks down the boundaries between inner and outer realities."

"Antichrist" was the love-it-or-hate-it film in Cannes this year. Charlotte Gainsbourg won the best actress gong for her harrowing performance but many critics panned the film for its over the top gore. IFC is bowing "Antichrist" in the U.S. on VOD today and starts a limited release Friday.

Four incredibly cool and interesting trailers- Josef Fares' semi-authobiography Zozo, a different vampire tale in Let the Right One In, Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely, and finally the shockingly wicked 13 Tzameti from Gela Babluani. 13 TZAMETI (http://www.13-tzameti.com/) is a winner-take-all thriller, where an unfortunate young man is transformed into Contestant #13 with no way out save his luck. - - -...
