The Russian Communist Party Wants To Ban HBO’s ‘Chernobyl,’ Sue Series Creator By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 16, 2019 10:00 am EST Russia is not done being mad at HBO’s Chernobyl. On the heels of the Russian government lambasting the miniseries chronicling the events of the horrific 1986 nuclear disaster, the Russian Communist Party is now calling for an all-out ban of the series. The Communists of Russia, a Marxist-Leninist political party separate from the larger Communist Party of the Russian Federation, is calling for a ban of the HBO series from airing in Russia, as well as a lawsuit against series creator Craig Mazin....

Lord of The Rings TV Series Map Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, pic.twitter.com/Btk2CRsQI2 — The Lord of the Rings on Prime (@LOTRonPrime) February 18, 2019 The Kingdom of Rohan wasn’t founded until 2510 T.A. — setting this map at least 500 years before the birth of Aragorn in 2931 T.A. Other clues enlighten us to this Second Age-setting: Arnor and Gondor, the two kingdoms of Men that bordered each other before Rohan’s founding aren’t in this map either, while Lindon — the great realm of the high elves — is featured prominently....

Why Nick Fury Waited So Long To Call Captain Marvel By Hoai-Tran Bui/Nov. 15, 2018 11:23 am EST Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War… The eleventh-hour call that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) made to Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) in the end credits of Avengers: Infinity War was a doozy of a scene that mostly served to hype up audiences for Carol Danvers’ highly-anticipated solo venture in 2019. But as exciting as that moment was, it also throws a wrench into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s canon....

Alita Battle Angel Performance Capture As you can see, Cameron and his longtime producer Jon Landau explain how the production installed cameras on the actual sets instead of asking Salazar to perform everything separately in a green-screened room. She’s a promising young actress (if you’re not familiar with her, watch the underrated FXX comedy Man Seeking Woman), but allowing her to inhabit the same physical spaces as her fellow actors makes all the difference in the world....

‘Deadwood’ Movie Photos Prove This Is Finally, Really Happening By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 19, 2018 8:30 am EST When it comes to the Deadwood movie, I’ve always maintained a “I’ll believe it when I see it” mentality. The film follow-up to David Milch’s Shakespearian Western has been talked about for so long, that I started to think it would never happen – even when everyone involved said that it definitely was. Now I think I can finally start to accept reality, because the first Deadwood movie photos have surfaced, proving that yes, it’s really happening....

By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 22, 2018 9:00 am EST Here’s something I bet you didn’t see coming: LeBron James is in talks to produce a Friday the 13th reboot. After Halloween cleaned-up at the box office over the weekend, a slasher movie resurgence is no doubt right around the corner, but the fact that basketball great LeBron James is the one leading the charge to resurrect Jason Voorhees is a bit surprising, to say to the least....

‘James Bond 25’ Writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge Wants The Franchise To Treat Women Better, Even If 007 Himself Does Not By Ethan Anderton/May 31, 2019 10:00 am EST Although James Bond 25 has stumbled a bit out of the gate, fans are interested to see what Fleabag and Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge has done with the script.

‘Ophelia’ Trailer: Daisy Ridley Is The Doomed Heroine Of ‘Hamlet’ By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 13, 2018 4:00 pm EST Shakespeare’s Hamlet gets a new interpretation with Ophelia, a retelling of the famous tragedy through the eyes of another character. Daisy Ridley is Ophelia, who falls for the young Dane – a romance that goes haywire once Hamlet’s father is murdered, driving the young man mad in the process (maybe).

‘The Witchfinders’ Conjures Up One Of The Best ‘Doctor Who’ Episodes This Season By Hoai-Tran Bui/Nov. 26, 2018 7:00 am EST After “Rosa” and “Demons of the Punjab,” it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that all of Doctor Who’s historical episodes this season would be somber, pensive affairs. And that’s good, and great, and powerful! But this is Doctor Who, and I still want me some camp and creepy crawlies....

She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.
