“No, but it’s not impossible. It’s not impossible for sure. I would want to be involved, and I’ve got two other shows I’m working on right now,” Daniels told Collider. Daniels served as showrunner for the first four seasons of “The Office” before departing to co-create NBCUniversal’s similarly-beloved “Parks and Recreation.” Daniels resumed showrunner duties for the ninth and final season of “The Office,” which concluded in 2013. “The Office” has been back in the news following the acclaimed workplace comedy’s shift from Netflix to the NBCUniversal-owned Peacock streaming service at the beginning of 2021....

But what a battle: In this fast-paced adventure from Swedish director Victor Danell (credited as his collective, Crazy Pictures), an unsuspecting public contends with toxic rain that renders its victims into puddles of dementia who slam their cars into epic pileups as a mystery international threat invades from the skies. Like Jeremy Saulnier’s “Green Room,” the movie oscillates from stark survival drama to outright war movie and back again, speeding through taut, claustrophobic shootouts and exploding helicopters even as it shoehorns the spectacle into a somber look at one broken family....

According to the show’s official synopsis, it “presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before?...

Superhero films have a long, fraught history with the depiction of disability. Often, these films’ disabled characters are portrayed as villains, like Dr. Poison in “Wonder Woman” or Samuel L. Jackson’s Elijah Price in “Unbreakable.” Most, like DC’s Doctor Mid-Nite, haven’t yet been considered worthy of bringing into the cinematic world. And when these characters do appear in sprawling movie and TV franchises, they are often played by non-disabled actors (such is the case with “Daredevil” or Professor X in “X-Men....

The film has prompted many cinephiles to revisit the multitude of films that Cage made in the 2010s. While Cage was often unfairly maligned in recent years as an actor who would never turn down a role, a closer look at his filmography reveals many little-seen gems from recent years. And nobody agrees with that assessment more than Cage himself. Speaking to Collider, Cage said he believes his collection of small films from the 2010s represents some of the best work of his career, and listed the recent films that he believes hold their own against his most iconic movies....

The upcoming show will star Sam Corlett, Frida Gustavsson, Leo Suter, Bradley Freegard, Jóhannes Jóhannesson, Laura Berlin, David Oakes, and Caroline Henderson. Pollyanna McIntosh and Asbjørn Krogh Nissen will appear in recurring roles. Per Netflix: “Vikings: Valhalla” begins in the early 11th century and chronicles the legendary adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived: Leif Eriksson, Freydis Eriksdotter, Harald Hardrada, and the Norman King William the Conqueror....

King, whose viral 2015 Twitter thread about a road trip gone wrong was the origin for Janicza Bravo‘s critically acclaimed film “Zola,” called out the film studio in a series of tweets on January 30. “I think it’s hilarious ZOLA is up for 7 awards & no one thought to invite me nor include me IN the writers award category,” King captioned a retweet of Film Independent’s Spirit Awards coverage....

This was not your typical Emmy ceremony, save for all the ways it was exactly like a typical Emmy ceremony. Though there was no audience and shockingly few montages and despite comments from executive producers promising to reinvent the wheel of traditional awards shows, most things at the ceremony proceeded as one might expect. There were a few comedy bits. Plenty of topical humor about masks and pandemics. Awards were introduced, announced, and accepted....

IndieWire’s Eric Kohn wrote in his Sundance review: “Drawing on interviews with 10 experts and internet theorists with an endearing mashup of film clips and trippy 3-D animation, ‘A Glitch in the Matrix’ adapts to the internal logic of its echo chamber until starts to sound pretty convincing on its own terms…A meandering but imaginative riff on same scary-fun approach to actualizing outrageous ideas — but this one widens the scope....

John Krasinski’s smash sequel also was available on Paramount+. Did that have an impact? Only Paramount knows. Another point of interest: In its VOD debut, $19.99 meant a digital purchase of “Quiet” — not just a 48-hour rental. Electronic sell-throughs usually happen only after a rental-only option. Apart from its iTunes #1, “Wrath” otherwise scored three second placements on other charts, highlighting consistency between those ranking by sales and transactions....

Speaking in the round red-plush David Geffen Theater, which the Academy Museum hopes will attract multiple glitzy studio premieres (even if the bathrooms are all the way across a glass footbridge), Kendrick continued: “And it’s crammed with about 125 years’ worth of ideas, and dreams, and life-changing cinematic experiences. And I can tell you, everybody who works in the movies wants to see this place, and probably even more, be a part of it!...

Belmondo was April 9, 1933 west of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Acting didn’t come immediately to Belmondo. He began as a boxer, making his amateur debut in the ring in 1949. The physical changes to his face, according to the actor, compelled him to leave the sport. He would eventually attend a private drama school , transitioning to the Conservatoire of Dramatic Arts in his twenties. He made his stage debut in 1953....

Here’s the official synopsis, courtesy of Neon: “Many know the name Alvin Ailey, but how many know the man? Ailey’s commitment to searching for truth in movement resulted in pioneering and enduring choreography that centers on African American experiences. Director Jamila Wignot’s resonant biography grants artful access to the elusive visionary who founded one of the world’s most renowned dance companies, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.” Among the film’s many admirers at the virtual Park City festival this year was IndieWire’s own Jude Dry, who wrote in their review: “Using audio interviews with Ailey from the end of his life as a guiding narration, director Jamila Wignot weaves a pastiche of archival footage from the Deep South, New York City in the ’70s, and a vast trove of Ailey dances to create a hypnotic, immersive portrait of the visionary choreographer....

This week, AMC Entertainment, owner of the largest movie theater chain in the world, announced that it will expand on-screen captioning at 240 locations in the United States. On-screen captioning is presented within the film, not unlike turning the presentation into the sort you might find on a DVD or Blu-ray. This is different than closed captioning, which theater patrons see through the use of a special device. In the past, however, these devices have been criticized for malfunctioning or not being charged by theater staff before use....

Headlines say “Spider-Man” is the #4 domestic release of all time, which only makes sense if you believe that ticket prices went unchanged in the last century. (Based on adjusted box office, it ranks at #28.) However, this is no time for quibbling; “No Way Home” holds at least four real-world records of its own. The last blockbuster to exceed every expectation was “Titanic” Guided by precedents, box-office grosses tend to operate in a predictable and narrow range....

The strong opening for “Army of the Dead” is good news for Snyder, who intends to launch a new franchise for the streamer with his Dave Bautista-starring action movie. Two “Army”-connected films are already in development at Netflix, one is an animated prequel series that tracks the origins of the zombie outbreak and the other is a live-action prequel movie that follows the codebreaker character played by Matthias Schweighöfer. “Army of the Dead” also leaves the door open for a proper sequel, which these numbers now suggest will happen....

“It’s the first time I’m talking about Cohen,” she said. “He abused me, making me drink GHB, he had a bottle of it.” GHB is a depressant used in incidents of date rape. “At the time, I really didn’t know what it was. I woke up in the morning naked in his bed,” Argento said. According to the star, the incident occurred in 2002 while filming “xXx” opposite Vin Diesel and Samuel L....

The Australian filmmaker shared a sneak peek at upcoming Elvis Presley biopic “Elvis” during the Warner Bros. Discovery CinemaCon panel in Las Vegas on April 26, ahead of the film’s upcoming premiere at 2022 Cannes. “This is not really a biopic,” Luhrmann said on stage. “It’s really for me about America in the 50s and 60s and 70s. If you want to talk about America in the 50s and 60s and 70s, at the center of culture, for the good the bad and the ugly, was Elvis....
