Before he was the world-famous film director of  Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve was a teenager who devoured sci-fi novels. When he was “between 13 and 14,”  he remembered seeing “these eyes.” The iridescent blue eyes were on the face of a man staring at the young Villeneuve, painted by Wojciech Siudmak, for the 1970 French paperback translation of Dune.

Bringing The Walking Dead Season 10 Back During Covid-19 Meant Big Changes

There’s never been a season of The Walking Dead quite like this one. With six additional episodes added on as an epilogue to its original finale, season 10 will go down as the longest season in the show’s history. This, of course, wasn’t the plan, but when the Covid-19 pandemic forced productions to grind to a halt last March, AMC had to figure out how to shoot its popular zombie drama safely, while also considering what kind of material it could realistically film when crowded hordes of walkers in tight spaces are no longer an option. The first step was…

Soul Review: Pixar is Bringing You Some Christmas Magic

It takes nearly 12 minutes before Disney and Pixar show their title cards in Soul. By then, we’ve met a guy named Joe, basked in his dream to be a professional jazz pianist, and watched him fall down a manhole that’s led him to the other side. Now he’s being confronted with a bright multi-hued light called the Great Beyond, which draws souls to it like a bug zapper collects flies, and he’s understandably fleeing in the opposite direction To say that Soul is ambitious for a kids’ movie, or even a Pixar film, is an understatement.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Bringing ‘Questionable Intent’ to Jane Austen

To be sure, the English and Argentine actor is aware she donned the costumes of Jane Austen’s most devilish heroine only last year. She also knows she is doing press for the finished film when we meet one brisk morning outside Central Park. But sitting on a drawing room couch, and underneath a comfy-looking blanket, the star is reflective about what a whirlwind it’s been jumping into her first comedy—and an adaptation of a beloved yet…
