Season two of "Power Book II: Ghost" is filled with shockers and pulse-pounding moments that bring the show to an epic conclusion. The final episode, "Love and War," aired on Feb. 6 and had viewers in an uproar over everything that went down. Just when we thought the storm around Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) and the Tejadas had finally calmed down, it's clear more drama will await them next season.

"Diana was seeking truth in that moment."

Thanks to Diana (Latoya Tonodeo) exposing everyone's truths, "Power Book II: Ghost" ends its second season with the loss of two major characters. But her explosive scene in episode eight arguably delivers the best episode of the series yet, opening the door for more interesting plot lines to be explored in season three. "Diana was seeking truth in that moment," Tonodeo explains to Popsugar about the "nuclear dinner," as she puts it. "So much...

Spoiler Alert: The following interview reveals major plot points from the Season 2 finale of Starz’ Power Book II: Ghost.

The Starz drama Power Book II: Ghost wrapped up its second season on Sunday with a reminder that there is no room for the virtuous in this universe. Not since the murder of Tariq St. Patrick’s (Michael Rainey Jr) twin sister Raina (Donshea Hopkins) in Season 4 of Power, has a death effectively conveyed how easy it is to lose an innocent, avenge their death, and then find a way to move on and continue to live in this grey area where only money and power matter.

But, will the death of Ezekiel “Zeke” Cross (Daniel Bellomy),—in tonight’s episode, “Love and War”— serve as the force to tilt the axis towards betterment?

Zeke was murdered in cold blood by Lorenzo Tejada (Berto Colon) in a case of mistaken identity...

Showtime is developing Hello Nancy, an original film based on the nonfiction book On Her Trail, My Mother, Nancy Dickerson, TV News’ First Woman Star by CBS This Morning co-host John Dickerson, with Stephen Colbert and his wife Evelyn McGee Colbert serving as executive producers.

The Zookeeper’s Wife scribe Angela Workman will pen the adaptation and co-executive produce. Dickerson serves as associate producer.

Thanks to John Madden’s timely drama Miss Sloane, Jessica Chastain will soon find herself in the midst of awards season – not for the first time, mind you – but the esteemed actress has many more exciting projects lining her slate beyond Washington’s corridors of power.

The Zookeeper’s Wife, for instance, is Niki Caro’s upcoming wartime drama that places Chastain in the role of Antonina Żabińska. Set just prior to Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939, Caro’s period piece is actually an adaptation of Diane Ackerman’s non-fiction novel, which recounts the remarkable true story of Antonina and her husband Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh), who saved countless human and animal lives during WWII by hiding them in animal cages peppered across the Warsaw Zoo

Also starring Michael McElhatton, Johan Heldenbergh and Captain America: Civil War star Daniel Brühl, we understand that War Bride scribe Angela Workman...

Coming to theaters is one of 2017’s highly anticipated films, The Zookeeper’S Wife.

The real-life story of one working wife and mother who became a hero to hundreds during World War II. In 1939 Poland, Antonina Żabińska (portrayed by two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain) and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh of “The Broken Circle Breakdown”), have the Warsaw Zoo flourishing under his stewardship and her care. When their country is invaded by the Nazis, Jan and Antonina are stunned – and forced to report to the Reich’s newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck (Daniel Brühl of “Captain America: Civil War”). To fight back on their own terms, Antonina and Jan covertly begin working with the Resistance – and put into action plans to save lives out of what has become the Warsaw Ghetto, with Antonina putting herself and even her children at great risk.

The film is directed by Niki Caro (“North Country,...

NEWSPoster for Abbas Kiarostami's The ReportIt's been a devastating series of days for film lovers. First, Heaven's Gate director Michael Cimino passed away at 77, silencing one of American cinema's most importance visionaries. Then, Palme d'Or-winning Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami has died at the age of 76. It is very hard—very—to imagine cinema without these voices.Some good news from the much-criticized Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences: they are increasing the scope of their voting pool. Included in the roster, but strangely as writers and not directors, are such international luminaries as Mia Hansen-Løve, Jia Zhangke, and Takeski Kitano (Kiarostami was also added, as a director).With so much death in the news, let's celebrate a birth. Specifically, the 100th anniversary of Olivia de Havilland's birth. Farran Nehme Smith has penned a lovely homage for Sight & Sound:She continued to work all the way up to 1988, and her life has been full,...

I was flipping around the TV last night and came across a rerun of Bones, which is a show that I usually never watch, but I left this episode on because Loren Dean was in it. (He has an infrequently recurring role as Bones’ brother.) It seemed like, in the late 1990s, that he was on the verge of Hollywood stardom, after roles films such as the underrated Mumford and Apollo 13 (where he affects the most perfect nerd diction as one of the Nasa technicians). Or maybe in indies and foreign films after his work in the wonderful The War Bride and Wim Wenders’ The End of Violence. I loved the odd onscreen quality that Dean had, sort of nice boy-next-door but with dark and even menacing undertones -- in fact, that quality of his partly inspired me to write my screenplay Cat and Mouse; I created the protagonist with him in mind.

In our never-ending quest to provide you with really cool stuff that you can't find anywhere else, Dread Central is proud to bring you an online comic strip that will have you laughing and shivering until the very last gore-soaked page!

When Drive-Ins Attack (which also appears in traditional book form) is the brainchild of creator Rich Stahnke, who recently sat down with us to tell you about the project.

"The genesis of the book grew from my experience watching the movie 'Grindhouse'", says Stahnke. "I walked out of the theater after watching the movie and thought to myself, 'Why isn't there a comic series that takes a rated R approach with over-the-top violence and gunplay and cursing and nudity?', you know? Everything you expect in a good rated R action or horror movie? My second thought was that almost every mainstream comic involves sci-fi/B-movie type material, but...
