Disney Wouldn’t Let ‘Ralph Breaks The Internet’ Make This Joke About Kylo Ren By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 22, 2018 11:30 am EST In a movie where Disney princesses lounge about in casual wear and the internet becomes a literal playground for everything from fictional characters to viruses, it seems like Ralph Breaks the Internet has free reign to make a joke of anything. Except for Kylo Ren, apparently. The upcoming Wreck-It Ralph sequel occupies a unique space in the Disney corporate synergy plan — as an irreverent comedy, seemingly nothing is off-limits to be mocked, but it’s still a movie whose biggest viral moment is a scene where all the Disney princesses meet Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman)....

‘Captive State’ Co-Writer Erica Beeney Discusses The Influence Of History [Interview] By Jack Giroux/March 15, 2019 11:00 am EST Captive State is a sci-fi thriller that moves like clockwork.

Like the characters trying to start an uprising in a world dominated by aliens, Wyatt and co-writer Erica Beeney always keep their story moving. Compared to other bloated or gigantic alien invasion movies, Captive State is a refreshingly minimalist and stripped down sci-fi movie....

How The New ‘Halloween’ Reinvents The Slasher Movie For The 21st Century By Matt Donato/Oct. 26, 2018 7:00 am EST “Adaptation.” In movies, humanity – whatever the medium – adaptation is integral to sustained longevity.
