Exclusive: Icelandic filmmaker Erlingur Thoroddsen (Rift) has set his next film, The Wastelands, at Sagafilm.

Described as a psychological survival horror with a “supernatural slant,” the English language film will be directed by Thoroddsen from a screenplay he also wrote.

The film is said to be rooted in Icelandic folklore, exploring what happens when the landscape itself becomes a force of reckoning. The synopsis reads: Blending myth, suspense, and emotional depth, The Wastelands is a haunting story about guilt, survival, and confronting one’s hidden secrets. Casting is currently underway for the film’s female lead. Producers on The Wastelands include Arnar Benjamín Kristjánsson, with Kjartan Thor Thordarson and Skarphéðinn Guðmundsson serving as Executive Producers.

Thoroddsen’s last film, Kuldi, was nominated for 6 Edda awards, including Best Screenplay. The film was the second highest-grossing Icelandic film of 2023, and was the fifth highest-grossing film overall in Icelandic cinemas that year. It...

"Interstellar" represents a lot of firsts for Christopher Nolan. The 2014 sci-fi movie was the first time the director infused one of his stories with some real heart and treated it as if it were just as important as any of the philosophical musings which typically guide his films. As such, "Interstellar" became Nolan's heartfelt masterpiece, not only making time for emotional exploration but also arguing for love itself as our only means of transcending the inexorable march of time.

"Interstellar" was also the first time Nolan worked with Dp Hoyte van Hoytema, who has since served as cinematographer on three of the British director's other films. It was also the first time Nolan worked with Matt Damon, who for a long time had been an outspoken fan of the director. Even after his brief appearance in "Interstellar," Damon was angling for a bigger role in a Nolan film, which he...

Warner Bros. has been in a transitional phase for several years now, as it tries to create new franchises that it can potentially rely on for the foreseeable future. There was a time, not too long ago, when the studio was coasting on the success of the Harry Potter series, and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy. Released in 2008, the middle film of the trilogy, The Dark Knight, remains perhaps the most acclaimed superhero movie of all time. It also cracked the $1 billion mark at the global box office. The studio's latest success story isA Minecraft Movie, which is making a final push towards the coveted box office milestone after over a month in theaters worldwide. Its quest to conquer the $1 billion saw a major victory recently, as it overtook The Dark Knight on a crucial front.

Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the movie's cumulative global haul stands...

Christopher Nolan is no stranger to pushing boundaries when it comes to filmmaking. From mind-bending films like Tenet to awe-inspiring Interstellar, Nolan’s films are crafted with meticulous attention to detail and immaculate care.

However, even his Oscar-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer stands no chance against his upcoming film, The Odyssey. According to reports, the upcoming film, which stars Matt Damon, promises to be unlike anything we have ever seen before. Described as ‘Nolan at his best,’ the behind-the-scenes odyssey of this highly anticipated film reveals a groundbreaking vision.

With each film, whether it be The Dark Knight trilogy or the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan keeps establishing a benchmark in the genre. Every film of his is a spectacle, a cinematic event to behold that stays with the audience long after the credits have rolled.

“Ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no valley low enough…” Unless you’re Christopher Nolan, who evidently took that lyric as a dare. In his forthcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, he’s turned Homer’s ten-year death march into a location scout’s fever dream; dragging cast and crew through unfilmed European crevices, up castles that sneer at gravity, and into caves so ancient they make Wi-Fi weep.

And in this beautifully deranged cinematic boot camp? Matt Damon and Tom Holland: two men at polar ends of the action spectrum. The former, channeling Odysseus with surgical stoicism; Holland, apparently, some kind of bipedal kinetic phenomenon. Stuntman James Newman recently offered us a peek behind the curtain, and now we’re dissecting every delicious, dusty detail.

President Donald Trump certainly had a lively Sunday. First, the official White House social media accounts celebrated Star Wars Day with an AI-generated image of Trump as a musclebound Sith Lord. After that, the president announced plans to convert Alcatraz island, which is currently a tourist attraction and national park, back into a functioning prison. Then, in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump made a bizarre announcement of plans to implement "100% tariffs" on films shot outside of the U.S., declaring:

"The Movie Industry in America is Dying a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!

It was a sight to behold when Christopher Nolan and Robert Downey Jr. collaborated on the epic biographical drama, Oppenheimer. Starring Downey as Rear Admiral Lewis Strauss, the actor took home his first-ever Academy Award—Best Supporting Actor Oscar— for the role.

Now that we have seen this iconic pairing, fans have been looking forward to seeing them work together again. However, because of their busy schedules, this might not be possible anytime soon. But given what Nolan once said about working with Downey, there is a chance we might see them work together again in the distant future.

Tubi is known for adding highly popular and hidden gems to its streaming site, making movies and television shows available to all for free. One of the newly added movies, for the month of May, is Christopher Nolan's groundbreaking epic science fiction film Interstellar. The 2014 production stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine. Interstellar was the tenth highest-grossing film of 2014. Distributed by Paramount/Warner Bros., the critically acclaimed movie grossed over $670 million worldwide.

It follows a group of astronauts who travelthrough a wormhole near Saturn in search of a new home for humankind. In the film, set in the dystopian future, planet Earth is suffering from a catastrophic blight and famine. Nolan first got involved in the project after his brother, Jonathan Nolan, was hired to create a story and pen the script. In a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director...

James Cameron met a survivor of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, which has made him fast-track his first non-Avatar film since Titanic. The very subject of the film puts him in direct competition with Christopher Nolan. The Interstellar director narrated the tale of the nuclear bomb from the American side of things.

As a first step towards the film, Cameron purchased the rights to Charles Pellegrino’s book Ghosts of Hiroshima. The book will be available to readers soon, but Cameron is already working on releasing an audiobook that will have a familiar voice narrating it. Cameron has tapped Martin Sheen to narrate the audiobook.

After Christopher Nolan‘s take on the nuclear bomb, we now get to see James Cameron tackling the subject from the perspective of the victims.

From epic adventures to all-time classics, these movies make Paramount+ worth a look.

I’m not someone who throws together a movie list willy-nilly — I love every movie on this list. Paramount+ has been a nice surprise lately. It’s not just old favorites or background watches either. They’ve put together a lineup that feels worth sitting down for — lights off, phone down. This list has a little bit of everything: a true story, a sports epic, a coming-of-age classic, a couple of all-time blockbusters, and even a wild ride through Wall Street. If you’re looking for a few great movies to stream without a lot of hunting around, here are my top seven movies to stream on Paramount+ right now.

Top 7 movies streaming on Paramount+ right now:

No. 7: ‘Better Man’

No. 6: ‘Gladiator’

No. 5: ‘Mean Girls’

No. 4: ‘Top Gun: Maverick’

No. 3: ‘School of Rock’

No.

It's probably no secret to anyone who pays attention to movies even a little bit, particularly people who enjoy going to theaters to see movies, that it's been a rough handful of years for the industry. The box office never fully recovered from the pandemic shutdown five years ago, with some highs along the way but far more lows to complicate matters. Fortunately, things have looked up lately, with "A Minecraft Movie" delivering a global smash. And here's some more good news: This past weekend was, without a doubt, one of the most important and encouraging weekends at the box office in years.

The last weekend of April 2025 saw Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" make more than $45 million in its second weekend, a record-low drop for a wide release horror movie. It has now become an unexpectedly huge, original smash hit. What's special about it, looking beyond the number one movie on the charts,...

When you think of modern cinema, two names that come to mind almost immediately are Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan. These two directors shook up the film industry with their distinct styles. Tarantino is known for his sharp dialogue, gritty characters, and scenes that make you squirm in the best way possible.

Nolan, on the other hand, is famous for his mind-bending concepts and visually stunning films. Despite their differences, one thing is clear—they both have a deep love for cinema. And it turns out that Tarantino has some serious respect for Nolan and his work.

Christopher Nolan

Over the years, Tarantino has spoken highly of Nolan, praising his distinctive style and creative vision. In return, Nolan has also expressed admiration for Tarantino’s work. So, what exactly has Tarantino said about Nolan? Let’s explore their shared love for each other’s films!

Quentin Tarantino honors Christopher Nolan...

If you’ve been paying attention to anything Christopher Nolan says lately, you’ve likely noticed that he’s a bit nervous about the future of movies. And you know what? We can understand why. With lots of social media sites, YouTube, and all those endless streaming options, and the magical ‘pause’ button at home, going to a theater is starting to feel like an ancient ritual.

But here’s the surprise Nolan (and also many of us) didn’t anticipate: almost three decades ago, Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary genius behind My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away, had already confronted this very same phobia. And instead of sounding the alarm, Miyazaki had a pretty laid-back (and actually genius) approach to it.

Tubi’s slate for May runs the gamut of sci-fi fare, beloved comedies and thrillers.

There’s “Interstellar” and the David Lynch version of “Dune,” as well as “But I’m a Cheerleader” starring two of the biggest television leads at the moment, Natasha Lyonne and Melanie Lynskey. Viewers can also find musical films like “The Wiz” and “Dreamgirls” and dramas like “The Eternal Daughter” and “C’mon C’mon.” Horror titles include “28 Weeks Later,” for those trying to catch up on the zombie trilogy before this year’s “28 Years Later,” and “Barbarian.”

Tubi additionally has three new original films in its catalogue this month.

Here are all the new titles coming to Tubi in May:

Tubi Original Romance

“Worth the Wait” is about several Asian American individuals whose lives intersect. (5/23)

Tubi Original Thrillers

“Rhythm & Blood” follows the romance between a pop star and the bodyguard she employs to protect her from a stalker’s threats.

F1 star Brad Pitt has landed his next project, and he's teaming up with another Academy Award-winning filmmaker. Hailing from Edward Berger, A24 is producing an adaptation of a classic 1994 novel that was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, with Pitt in the starring role.

According to Deadline, Pitt is set to star in The Riders, directed by Berger and based on a screenplay from David Kajganich, who adapts the original book by Tim Winton. A24 is producing the project, which the trade reports quickly became a hot package in Hollywood after the global movie star joined forces with Berger. Pitt will be playing Fred Scully, the main character of The Riders, on an emotional and haunting journey with his daughter to find out why his wife left them. Check out the official plot description of the novel below.

"After traveling through Europe for two years, Scully and his wife Jennifer wind up in Ireland,...

Kiefer Sutherland can play the protagonist in the story, like Jack Bauer from 24 or Tom Kirkman from Designated Survivor. And he can easily slip into a cruel antagonist, like David from The Lost Boys or Freddie Lee Cobb from A Time to Kill. The variety of roles in Sutherland’s filmography, spread over more than four decades, speaks volumes about the actor.

However, there is one role for which we never appreciated Sutherland enough. In 1992, Sutherland took on the supporting role alongside the likes of Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, and Kevin Bacon in A Few Good Men. He had a limited role in the film as Lt Jonathan Kendrick, but this villain performance of the actor was different from his others.

Homer's epic "The Odyssey," as any seventh grader could tell you, began its life as part of an ancient Greek oral tradition, shared over campfires on long, balmy Athenian nights. The epic wasn't written down until maybe the seventh century Bce, finally codifying a tale that, no doubt, had undergone several hundred changes during its life. "The Odyssey" takes place after the events of the Trojan War. Its hero, Odysseus, had become trapped on a Mediterranean island with a beautiful nymph named Calypso, living with her for eight years. However, Odysseus misses his wife Penelope and eventually sets out on a journey home. Penelope has, in the interim, had to fend off a lot of dumb, freeloading, muscle-bound suitors who assume Odysseus is dead and want to horn in on his home.  

The most famous passages from "The Odyssey" are about Odysseus' fantastical encounters with monsters and gods. The...

Science fiction is one of the most popular genres out there, but it takes a lot of effort and thought to get right. Sci-fi is not just about aliens and spaceships; it is about what science can do to address the current problems of the world, and whether it will solve those issues or worsen them. There is a reason speculative fiction like that always stands apart.

While ‘80s films like Blade Runner and Terminator wondered about the future of humanity, Hollywood seemed to pivot to a more blockbuster-y treatment for these films. Some of them asked profound questions, but also had fun with it. There is a reason the following list of films is extremely popular and influential, as their inspirations can be seen even today.

Here are the ten most influential sci-fi films of the 1990s.

10. Stargate

Roland Emmerich is known for his disaster films that have increasingly become sillier.

The box office recovery at Imax continued during the first quarter amid a record-breaking box office performance in China and a strong slate of “Filmed for Imax” titles released into theaters, including Captain America: Brave New World and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners opening strongly last weekend.

Overall revenue at the cinema technologies company came to $86.7 million, up 10 percent from a year-earlier $79.1 million. That beat a Wall Street analyst projection of Imax posting Q1 revenues at $84.23 million.

Imax posted net income at $8.2 million, up 52 percent from a year-earlier $5.4 million. The adjusted net income per share in Q1 came to 13 cents, which fell 13 percent from a per-share loss of 15 cents in the same year-ago period.

Technology Products and Services revenues, or the proceeds from the sale, lease and maintenance of Imax’s theater systems network, rose 17 percent to $51 million. During the latest quarter, Imax installed 21 theater systems, compared to 15 systems in the same period of last year.

Imax saw its highest-grossing first quarter ever at the global box office with $298 million on the strength of a record-breaking Chinese New Year holiday, which delivered triple the company’s previous best with $182 million.

Phenomenon Ne Zha 2 has earned more than $164 million in Imax, the company’s highest-grossing local-language animated film and release in China ever. Global box office of $298 million in Q1 was up 12% year-over-year with other top grossing first-quarter titles including Captain America: Brave New World ($27 million), Mickey 17 ($11 million) and the Interstellar rerelease ($10 million).

Overall, the company beat on revenue, which rose 10% to $87 million (vs the $84.2 million Wall Street anticipated). Adjusted earnings per share was in line at 13 cents. Shares are down in after-hours trading.

This year is seeing a record number of so-called “filmed for Imax” releases worldwide including Sinners last weekend, which kicked off a run of eight consecutive Hollywood releases filmed with Imax cameras.

For many seasons now, there has been underlying tension between the protagonists of Rick and Morty. Although the two characters have had a kind of banter throughout the series, it seems to have taken on a resentful tone from Morty’s side. This was first set up as far back as the first season, with the very first Citadel episode.

With the trailer for the eighth season having finally been released, it seems possible that the show will go down this storyline again. However, the direction it could be taking with Evil Morty could be very different this time.

A Morty always needs a Rick…or do they?

With the release of the eighth season approaching, Rick and Morty have finally released the trailer, and it is quite insightful. Among many hints about what is to come, two specific scenes felt out of place considering the overall story of the show.

Christopher Nolan‘s space epic Interstellar wasn’t just a mind-bending journey through space and time—it was also a masterclass in budget efficiency. Made for approximately $165 million, the film delivered spectacular visuals, an all-star cast, and groundbreaking scientific concepts that had audiences questioning reality.

But would it surprise you to learn that several animated features actually cost more to produce? It’s true! While Nolan was crafting realistic wormholes and fifth-dimensional tesseracts, animation studios were quietly pouring even more cash into pixels and rendering farms.

The incredible artistry behind these animated blockbusters comes with a hefty price tag that would make even a black hole-exploring spacecraft seem economical by comparison. The technical challenges of bringing completely imagined worlds to life frame-by-frame sometimes demand resources that even interstellar travel can’t match.

1. Tangled

Disney‘s 2010 adaptation of Rapunzel didn’t just feature incredible hair animation—it featured incredibly expensive hair animation.

Like the opening act at a live show, the 20th anniversary re-issue of Pride & Prejudice got audiences ready for potential box office fireworks next weekend, when Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith returns to theaters in celebration of its own 20th anniversary. Starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, the Jane Austen adaptation debuted in 2005. It has since developed quite a reputation as a cult classic, while its two stars’ reputations have grown considerably.

Having generated $2.7 million domestically this weekend — the movie found a spot inside the top 10 list — Pride & Prejudice has passed the $40 million mark in lifetime earnings. Incidentally, it made $2.8 million in its original opening weekend two decades ago. The film’s running domestic haul now stands at $41 million; it made nearly $130 million worldwide against a reported budget of under $30 million. Pride & Prejudice marked Joe Wright’s...

Easter Sunday Am Writethru after Saturday Night post: It’s a win for original movies as Warner Bros’ Sinners has taken the lead at the Easter weekend box office with $45.6M per Warners over the studio’s A Minecraft Movie which is landing in second with $41.3M. Since 2000, this weekend reps the eighth time that Warner Bros has led the Easter weekend box office with an event title after 2010’s Clash of the Titans, 2016’s Batman v. Superman, 2018’s Ready Player One, 2019’s The Curse of La Llorona, 2021’s Godzilla v. Kong, 2022’s Fantastic Beasts 3, last year’s Godzilla x Kong and now Sinners. Let the record show that Warner Bros with both titles contributed 64% of the entire weekend’s box office. Among all Easter weekend openings, Sinners ranks 9th.

This comes after a better-than-expected Saturday of $16.5M for the Ryan Coogler directed, Michael B. Jordan starring vampire pic, down...

Top Christopher Nolan movies at Box Office (Photo Credit – Instagram)

With Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan not only tackled complex themes but also achieved massive box-office success, proving that you can make an emotionally charged, intellectual film and still rake in the big bucks. The film broke records and left audiences in awe, but interestingly, it’s not even Nolan’s highest-grossing movie to date!

That’s right, despite its impressive earnings, Oppenheimer takes a backseat to a few other Nolan flicks. The filmmaker has been on a roll for decades, pushing the limits of what a summer blockbuster can be while packing in deep philosophical musings. From time manipulation to psychological twists, Nolan’s movies have become synonymous with big ideas and even bigger paydays. So, let’s dive into his top five highest-grossing films and see how the man has cracked the code for success.

1. The Dark Knight Rises

Matt Damon’s incomparably awesome box office journey(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Over the years Matt Damon has played everything, from his Oscar-nominated role of a stranded astronaut in Mars, to his recent success of Oppenheimer, where he portrayed General Leslie Groves in Christopher Nolan’s historical epic, he has time and again proved his worth that became a box-office juggernaut and an award season favorite.

In this list, we’re counting down Matt Damon’s top five highest-grossing films at the global box office. These movies not only showcase his versatility and enduring appeal but also reflect the scale and impact of the stories he chooses to be part of.

5. Ocean’s 11(2016)- $450M

In the first installment of George Clooney’s stylish casino-heist trilogy, Matt Damon takes on the role of Linus Caldwell, a skilled member of Danny Ocean’s elite crew. The film grossed $183 million at the US box office,...

Christopher Nolan is known for his unique way of storytelling and he stands out as one of today’s top filmmakers. Films such as Inception, Dunkirk, and Interstellar established him as a creative storyteller. Nolan often breaks away from typical storytelling styles, using complex plots that captivate and challenge his audience.

Here’s what some of Hollywood’s most legendary filmmakers think about him and his approach to filmmaking.

1. James Cameron

One of Christopher Nolan‘s most ambitious films, Inception, has received honest appreciation from James Cameron. Cameron is well-known for his visual epics like Avatar and Titanic. Cameron thought Inception was one of the best movies of 2010 and even suggested that director Christopher Nolan should have been nominated for an Academy Award that year.

After pulling the box office out of its slump with “A Minecraft Movie,” Warner Bros. is now taking a roll of the dice with the ambitious, original horror film “Sinners,” whose box office fortunes hinge in good part on how much the cultural legacy of “Black Panther” has permanently rubbed off on its writer-director, Ryan Coogler.

“Sinners” is Coogler’s first original film since his feature debut “Fruitvale Station,” after which he went on to launch the “Rocky” spinoff series “Creed” and then lead Marvel Studios to its first Best Picture nomination with “Black Panther” in 2018. His 2022 sequel, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” earned a less enthusiastic reception from critics and audiences but was still widely praised for how it paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman.

Coogler now brings to theaters a deeply personal tale of a pair of twin brothers, both played by the filmmaker’s longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan,...

The Stolen Girl (English)

Release Date: April 16, 2025

Directed by Eva Husson and based on Alex Dahl’s novel Playdate, the film follows the harrowing abduction of a child...

Jessica Chastain is set to star in a new horror film directed by Rob Savage and based on Incidents Around the House, a novel by Josh Malerman. The project is being developed by Universal Pictures with Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, in association with Spin a Black Yarn.

Nathan Elston, known for his work on Succession, is writing the screenplay. Plot details have not been released, but the source material centers on a young girl who perceives a supernatural presence in her home, which she names “Other Mommy.” The story unfolds within a family dynamic shaped by fear and uncertainty.

James Wan is producing the film through Atomic Monster, alongside Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, Rob Savage, Josh Malerman, and Ryan Lewis. Alayna Glasthal is overseeing the project for Atomic Monster.

Chastain’s past work in horror includes Mama, directed by Andy Muschietti, and It: Chapter Two, where she reunited with the director.

It’s time to look at the work of one of the greatest directors of our generation: Christopher Nolan. How big is Nolan these days? Interstellar, a movie which was never among the director’s top grossers, hit IMAX screens last week for its tenth anniversary, and screenings have been selling out constantly. The fact is – Nolan makes movies that belong on the big-screen, and he’s one of the few directors who’s arguably become his own franchise. For proof of that, one need only look at the fact that he’s planning a new movie, and the cast is jampacked with A-listers, because Everyone wants to work with Nolan.

A caveat – our Christopher Nolan movies ranked list is just one person’s opinion, and his work is divisive. Everyone has their favourites (and least favourites), so I’m hoping this ranking will open up some discussion in the comments below.

Exclusive: Jessica Chastain looks to be making a return to the horror genre in a big way as sources tell Deadline that the Oscar winner has signed on to star in the latest film from director Rob Savage. Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are producing in association with Spin a Black Yarn for Universal Pictures.

Succession writer Nathan Elston is penning the script, which is based on the novel titled Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman.

While details behind the film are unknown, in the Malerman novel, the story revolves around a haunting told from the perspective of a young girl whose troubled family is targeted by an entity she calls “Other Mommy.”

Atomic Monster’s James Wan is producing, with Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, Savage, Malerman and Ryan Lewis executive producing. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the film for Atomic Monster.

While Chastain is best known...

As casting announcements continue to roll in, speculation and excitement has only grown surrounding Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to his critical and box office hit “Oppenheimer,” which won him the Academy Award for best director.

“The Odyssey” is a classic piece of literature by Homer that is divided between 24 different books, preceded by “The Iliad.” It tells the 10-year journey story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he travels home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he encounters multiple perils and discovers the death of his crewmates. Telemachus (Odysseus’ son), Penelope (Odysseus’ wife), Athena, Circe, Poseidon and Zeus are all major characters.

Historians and scholars date “The Odyssey” to sometime between 750-650 BC. The first printed Greek version became available in 1488. In the centuries since, it has remained one of the most studied, adapted and parodied stories ever with adaptations including the 1911 silent film by Giuseppe de Liguoro, 1954’s...

Move over, Christopher Nolan. There’s a new timeline maestro in town, and they’ve traded time dilation for hidden blades. One dedicated Assassin’s Creed fan has done what many only dreamed of: compiled every single canon content from the franchise into one comprehensive timeline infographic.

And for those wondering, yes, it’s massive. As in, “scroll for your life” massive. The franchise, which started in 2007 with one game and a handful of cryptic Templar references, has since multiplied like Ezio’s family tree.

Love it or hate it, the series has become one of the most complex and content-rich universes in gaming history.

Jessica Chastain’s talents know no bounds. She was nominated thrice at the Academy Awards, winning the Best Actress for The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Right from her debut film Jolene, her performances have caught the eyes of critics and viewers. The year 2011 was her breakout year, starring in films like Take Shelter, The Tree of Life, and The Help.

The latter film earned her first Oscar nomination. Chastain found commercial success in sci-fi films like Interstellar and The Martian. In the 2010s, Chastain appeared in films that had mostly feminist themes. She was also nominated for two BAFTA awards, two Tony Awards, and an Emmy.

Hollywood is popular for its red carpet award shows like the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Emmys, which come along with teary-eyed acceptance speeches celebrating cinematic masterpieces. Directors, actors, and everyone who works together to make a cinema great are acknowledged at these events.

However, to keep things in check and keep them humble, the Golden Raspberry Awards are given. This accolade celebrates cinematic missteps, films that missed the mark, and actors who delivered performances far from acting. The Raspberry Awards are the Thanos snap of Hollywood to keep things in balance.

The Razzie Awards are not just for the B-listers or the low-budget movies; lately, this award ceremony has also given its awards to top celebrities and legends, proving nobody is safe in Hollywood.

Let’s look into the list of A-listers that nobody thought would be dragged through the hall of infamy.

What is the wild theory about Interstellar’s ending? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

If you’ve ever fallen into the emotional and intellectual vortex that is Interstellar, you probably understand why it’s often hailed as a masterpiece of sci-fi cinema. It’s not just the visual grandeur or the sweeping Hans Zimmer score but it’s how the film unravels like a cosmic riddle wrapped in human heartbreak.

The Mission That Was Bigger Than Survival

In Interstellar, the story follows Joseph Cooper, a former pilot pulled back into a crumbling world where Earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable. He joins a crew of scientists on a mission that feels more myth than mission, which is finding a new home for humanity among the stars.

But make no mistake, this isn’t just another end-of-the-world space romp. Interstellar is a slow-burn symphony of science, love, and sacrifice. Nolan, the genius of cerebral chaos,...

It’s been over a decade since The Dark Knight Rises swooped into theaters with that gritty, brooding Nolan magic, and yet it’s still out here flexing like a legend. No multiverse. No sky portals. No talking raccoons or blue aliens riding flying dragons. Just Bane breaking backs, Batman rising (literally), and Gotham teetering on the edge of chaos.

Christopher Nolan really went all in with this finale, epic stakes, bombastic score, and that ending that had fans debating for years. And somehow, even in this age of superhero overload, it still holds a title most caped crusaders and cosmic space warriors haven’t touched.

Yup, The Dark Knight Rises may not be part of a sprawling cinematic universe, but it made its mark with pure storytelling grit, a stacked cast, and some unforgettable IMAX-worthy moments. So while the MCU continues...

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners delivers a pair of Michael B Jordans, a whole lot of music, and is the best studio genre movie of the year to date. Our review:

As a regular listener to the Kermode & Mayo film podcast, I’m well aware of its ‘six laugh test’ criteria. That is, a film comedy needs to generate half a dozen chuckles at the least to earn its keep.

I have a slight variant on it: the six characters test. I’m increasingly finding with big Hollywood films that I struggle to remember the names of more than two characters by the time I get to the end credits. It might be my failing faculties, but I also think a lot of blockbusters struggle to generate characters who you can remember the day after. James Cameron’s Aliens? I can reel off a bunch of names. James Cameron’s Avatar?...

Timothée Chalamet has become a very big deal over the last decade or so. With two Academy Award nominations and an ever-expanding list of excellent movies under his belt, the actor has flaunted his talent in a vast array of roles that range from playing Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown" (2024) to starring as Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" movies and following Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp in portraying eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka in "Wonka" (2023). That's a lot, especially from a young actor who seems destined to turn in great roles for many decades to come.

Any one of Chalamet's best movies is a great way for a movie fan to spend a couple of hours glued to their seat. However, few prolific actors can maintain a perfect win record throughout their career, and even one as wildly successful as Chalamet has a few less than beloved films in his CV.

I know, I know, Tenet had us all doing mental gymnastics, rewinding scenes like we were CIA analysts with a film degree. But five years later, it hit me: Christopher Nolan didn’t just make a time-twisting masterpiece, he kind of extended Déjà Vu, that underrated Denzel Washington-Val Kilmer flick we all half-remember from 2006.

Seriously, watch ’em back-to-back. Time loops? Check. Sci-fi tech? Yup. Stoic lead unraveling causality while trying to save the girl? Triple check. Nolan went full Nolan with it. And to be for real, I feel like I cracked a cinematic conspiracy, and no one’s talking about it. So, let’s rewind.

While it’s too soon to predict which way Bravo will go, Garcelle Beauvais announced her exit from the popular and coveted show a couple of weeks ago, thus leaving one place clearly open.

While fans love the majority of the housewives, they are excited for some new blood to be added to the mix. The season 14 cast has Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Erika Jayne, Bozoma Saint John, apart from Garcelle. Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton were cast as friends on the season and fans loved them. Here’s what Erika said about the season 15 casting.

Hans Zimmer — the name itself evokes feelings of cinematic grandeur, a quality that all his soundtracks embody. He’s a legendary composer who has crafted some of the most iconic film scores, and his music doesn’t just accompany the scenes; it elevates them.

Zimmer is a generational talent, and the skills he possesses are exceptionally rare because only a few can weave emotions into every note the way he does. From The Dark Knight to Man of Steel, he’s proven his mettle in every way possible.

He can compose for a Disney movie, one with superheroes, or a moving sci-fi drama. Many cinephiles have their favorite Zimmer scores, but how does the maestro himself rank his work?

.Christopher Nolan’s movies have consistently challenged audiences, refusing to let go once they’ve drawn you into their intricate worlds. He approaches each project with the care and precision of someone nurturing a deeply personal creation—crafting his films like they are his own children, demanding nothing short of perfection. From his early short films that left viewers scratching their heads and questioning their sanity to grand, mind-bending epics that take you across time and space, Nolan has come a long way as a filmmaker. We took a deep dive into his filmography and ranked all of Christopher Nolan’s movies—from his most experimental efforts to his most masterful achievements.

French streamer Inoxtag has shared plans to make a movie like Interstellar in the next 5 to 15 years. He wants to create a film with a similar level of quality and storytelling.

Inoxtag, a famous French influencer, has become one of the most successful content creators in the world. Born Inès Benazzouz in 2002, Inoxtag started his journey at just 11 years old, streaming Minecraft videos on YouTube. Over the years, he grew his audience and became a huge star with nearly 9 million subscribers.

Inoxtag is known for his exciting and original content. He does more than just play video games. He has filmed himself swimming with sharks, surviving on a desert island, and even cycling 320 km for the Paris-Roubaix race.

His adventurous vlogs and documentaries have gained millions of views. His most popular project, “Kaizen,” about climbing Mount Everest, reached 40 million views in just two months.

The turnover rate for genre titles on Netflix is rapid. A ton of genre favorites have appeared on the streamer over the last few months. But, as quickly as they appeared, they’ve disappeared, giving us only a few months to check them off our watchlist. That’s why I wanted to highlight a few movies I’m not ready to see leave Netflix. I’m making it my business to stream these titles one last time because we never know when we’ll see them again in these streaming streets. These four films prove not all reboots suck, remind us that sometimes terror is where the heart is, and encourage us not to take ourselves too seriously.

The annual trade show hosted by Cinema United, CinemaCon is where the nation’s theater owners spend a week listening to sales pitches from Hollywood’s most important people: studio executives, Oscar-winning filmmakers, and Tom Cruise. Here are the standout moments, trailer, and highs and lows from CineamaCon 2025.

Most Important Movie

CinemaCon closed with a flourish on Thursday night, with a first look at Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron’s forthcoming blockbuster. In some ways, the preview — with its exceptional visuals and pacing typical of an Avatar film — felt like a Brigadoon for the nation’s theater owners and its studio partners. This year’s CinemaCon was marked by notable unease for the motion picture industry, with sagging box office totals sparking debate about theatrical windows and the future of several studio executives uncertain. The assumption is that Cameron’s Avatar will once again swoop in to save the...

Universal Pictures has very big hopes for Christopher Nolan's star-studded adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. A studio exec recently spoke about the upcoming film at CinemaCon 2025.

Per Variety, Jim Orr, Universal's distribution chief, spoke very highly of Nolan's Odyssey adaptation, calling it a "visionary, once-in-a-generation cinematic masterpiece that Homer himself would quite likely be proud of." While Orr appeared to be serious with his comments, the audience - made up largely of theater owners - laughed at the overstatement.

None could argue with Orr about The Odyssey's "staggering" all-star cast, which includes Matt Damon as Odysseus and Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron, whose roles have yet to be revealed. Filming for the blockbuster epic remains ongoing, and leaked images from the set continue to give hints and clues as to actors' roles.

The Odyssey will be written, produced and directed by...

Anne Hathaway is about to have another Les Misérables moment, and no, I don’t mean crying on stage and clutching an Oscar. I mean, she’s about to be thrown into the fiery pits of the internet’s collective rage. Hollywood loves a good comeback story, but sometimes it also loves to put people right back in the doghouse, and unfortunately for Hathaway, she’s about to find out the hard way.

You see, Hathaway has just signed on for Colleen Hoover’s upcoming Verity adaptation, and while that would normally be exciting news for book lovers, there’s just one problem, the internet is already mad about it.

Colleen Hoover is in hot water, Blake Lively is involved, and now Anne Hathaway has waltzed into the crossfire. There’s drama, controversy, and enough fan outrage to fuel another season of The White Lotus.
