Joker director Todd Phillips says the film’s story is rooted in real-world mental health issues. The DC Comics adaptation doesn’t even open in theaters for another three weeks, and yet it’s already one of the most polarizing movies of the year. That hasn’t prevented Joker from taking home any awards though, as the film shocked many by winning the prestigious Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film Festival just over a week ago....
Joe Russo, co-director of Avengers: Endgame, wants to direct a Batman movie, assuming he were to ever actually helm a big screen DC project. It’s been a crazy decade for Joe Russo and his brother Anthony, who before getting hired by Marvel Studios to direct 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, were mostly known for directing sitcoms. The most famous of those was NBC’s cult hit Community, for which the Russos directed 21 episodes, including some of the show’s most beloved....

Jon Favreau has been active in Hollywood since 1992, acting and directing in a wide variety of projects. After helming films such as Elf, Favreau kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe by helming the original Iron Man (where he also co-starred as Happy Hogan). Nowadays, Favreau has kept himself quite busy. In addition to reprising Happy on numerous occasions in the MCU, he’s helped push the limits of moviemaking technology with Disney remakes The Jungle Book and The Lion King, the latter of which is now in theaters....
Action movie fans got a new hero to enjoy back in 2014 when John Wick hit the scene. Earning widespread praise from critics and making a pretty penny at the box office ($86 million worldwide on a $20 million budget), Lionsgate knew that the response was positive enough to launch a franchise. They’ll put that belief to the test early next year when the sequel John Wick: Chapter 2 is released in theaters....
It was a huge deal when John Williams agreed to come back and compose the score for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. To a lot of people, Star Wars just isn’t Star Wars without Williams’ stirring music. The score for The Force Awakens was rightfully nominated for an Oscar, but Williams lost out on the Academy Award to his old pal Ennio Morricone for his work on Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight....
In the latest entry of our ongoing series, Screen Rant’s Ryan George reveals what (probably) happened in the pitch meeting for Todd Phillips’ dark DC supervillain origin story, Joker. Starring Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, Joker imagines the Clown Prince of Crime having humble origins as a miserable sign-spinning clown who lives with his mother and has a condition that causes him to burst into uncontrollable laughter when he’s stressed or upset....
From the minute he stepped into the ring with Kurt Angle, John Cena had a star quality that couldn’t be ignored. He parlayed his “hustle, loyalty, respect” motto into 16 world championship reigns. Though WWE fans may miss seeing him in the squared circle, his successful movie career means we may not see him headline WrestleMania again anytime soon. Lately, Cena has become known for his comedic skills, but his filmography includes action, drama and even animated family fare....
Warner Bros. announces the Joker Blu-ray release date and special features. Since the release of Joker back in October, it has garnered a great deal of buzz, mainly due to its controversial take and roaring success at the box office, becoming the first R-rated film to cross the billion-dollar mark worldwide. Now fans of the Clown Prince have a digital and Blu-ray release date to look forward to. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips, who also co-wrote the script alongside Scott Silver, the DC story delved into how Batman’s greatest nemesis was born....
Caution: Spoilers ahead for Joker Joker is a highly ambiguous movie - so could Batman already exist within the film’s timeline? Audiences and critics have expressed a range of reactions towards the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime, but no one can argue that the release represents a massive step forward for comic book movies. A detailed and often disturbing character study, Joker has no clear hero, no clear antagonist and tells a distinctly non-traditional story full of twists, shocks and small references to wider DC canon....
Star Wars: Episode IX director J.J. Abrams admits his original ideas for the film that would eventually become The Last Jedi were different than what Rian Johnson ended up doing with the project. Johnson was hired for the Episode VIII job way back in June 2014, tasked with continuing the story Abrams began with 2015’s The Force Awakens. Few would have predicted it at the time, but The Last Jedi infamously went on to be one of the most divisive blockbusters in recent memory, with Johnson’s bold and risky creative choices acting as a lightning rod for countless debates....
The Joker prequel film is set to begin filming this September. Just days ago it was revealed that the movie’s budget would be $55 million and that DC hoped to begin production this fall. With no less than six movies featuring the Joker currently in development, this one is likely the most anticipated by fans. The movie is set to tackle the Joker’s tragic backstory as a failed comedian, which means it will likely draw at least some inspiration from Alan Moore’s seminal graphic novel, Batman: The Killing Joke....
Jon Watts has entered talks to direct Spider-Man: Homecoming 3. Marvel Studios and Sony struck an unprecedented agreement to share the Spider-Man film rights a few years ago, paving the way to Tom Holland playing the web-slinger in 2016’s Marvel Cinematic Universe team-up, Captain America: Civil War. Holland’s Peter Parker would go on to star in his first solo movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, a year later, before reuniting with his fellow MCU heroes for Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and then Avengers: Endgame a year after....
It was reported yesterday that the Jony Ive LoveFrom contract with Apple has ended, meaning that the company’s longtime design chief is now fully detached from the iPhone maker. My own view, though, is that the “news” means nothing, and that the contract has served the only purpose it ever had: preventing AAPL investors from panicking when Ive left the company … The official story Apple’s official story has been a three-part one....
A new behind-the-scenes photo for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie has been released, unsurprisingly depicting Jesse Pinkman as a little worse for wear. Created by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad followed the journey of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as he transitioned from a mild-mannered high school teacher into the criminal kingpin known as Heisenberg. The character recruited Jesse Pinkman, a former student, to assist him in building a multinational drug empire....
A new fan-art imagines Joaquin Phoenix’s Clown Prince of Crime in Joker as Ronald McDonald. The next Warner Bros. and DC project is due in a few months, and while fans are waiting for a brand new trailer or any kind of official marketing content, some are biding their time by creating some inspired by the upcoming film. The latest of which is a mock-up illustration of the titular character mashed up as the infamous mascot for McDonalds....

The horror film was a surprise box office smash, opening to $50 million on only a $17 million dollar budget. It also earned Krasinski rave reviews from critics, fans, and fellow celebrities alike. The film tells the story of a family fighting for their survival against alien creatures who hunt based on sound....
While the first John Wick movie didn’t make a big impact in 2014’s box office, the low budget, high octane, Keanu Reeves gun-fu movie still impressed many genre fans; with former stunt coordinators-turned directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch presenting a well-paced and heavily-stylized revenge thriller. Needless to say, hopes are high for the sequel John Wick: Chapter Two, which has earned its spot on the radar of many audience members wanting more of what the first movie had to offer....
Derek Kolstad, writer of the first two John Wick films, will return to pen the third installment in the franchise. Keanu Reeves enjoyed an unlikely career renaissance with the release of John Wick, an ultra-violent, ultra-stylish comic book action movie set in a world of assassins. The surprise success of John Wick led to a 2017 sequel, John Wick: Chapter 2, which saw Reeves’ character pitted against another seemingly endless succession of bad guys, and set up a third chapter with Wick on the run....
Todd Phillips’ Joker has taken home the Golden Lion at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, making it the first comic book movie to win the award. The film premiered at the event late last month and earned an overall enthusiastic reception, with many proclaiming it a mold-breaker for the comic book genre. At the same time, Joker is already proving controversial for its portrayal of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a failed stand-up comedian who gradually evolves into the Clown Prince of Crime....
