Both political parties have apparently discussed running for President with Dwayne Johnson.
The themes in Wonder Woman 1984 may feel a little bit on the nose for this chaotic year, but it sounds like that wasn't intentional.
Dave Chappelle and Pete Davidson stole the show on SNL last night. There was spitting involved.
Aaron Sorkin is not the name I think of when I think of political unrest, the counterculture, and protest movements. Sorkin, for the majority of his career, has been largely Capra-esque in his assessments of America, seeing the struggles but ultimately upholding institutions as good and just. Movies like A Few Good Men and The American President reaffirm a belief in our institutions, and The West Wing is essentially a fairy tale of good-hearted people committed to good governance. Sorkin does not seem like the obvious choice for telling the story of the Chicago 7, but his new …
Netflix has released the official trailer for The Trial of the Chicago 7, which is set to premiere on the streamer in mid-October. Trial of the Chicago 7 is the sophomore feature directorial effort from Aaron Sorkin, who, as one might suspect, also wrote the script. Netflix acquired Sorkin's latest from Paramount over the summer and marks one of the buzziest releases for the streaming giant in 2020. Any questions around whether or not Netflix is strategizing to put The Trial of the Chicago 7 in this year's Oscars race are answered with the newest trailer. The …

What's scarier: hanging out with actors or speaking with politicians?
Focus Features has released the poster for Jon Stewart's new movie, Irresistible. The political comedy stars Steve Carell who plays a consultant who tries to help a retired Marine colonel (Chris Cooper) run for mayor of a small Wisconsin town, but whose job becomes more difficult when his rival (Rose Byrne) supports the opposition. I'm very curious about this movie because I'm such a fan of what Stewart did with The Daily Show. Since everything disappears down the memory hole, it may be tough to remember, but there was a time when Stewart was the name in …
John Mulaney hosted Saturday Night Live last night for the second time, and in a surprise to no one, his monologue was hilarious. Mulaney got his professional start as a writer on SNL, helping co-create the character of Stefon with Bill Hader among many other notable sketches, so he’s right at home on the Studio 8H stage. And in addition to that, since leaving SNL Mulaney has solidified himself as one of the best and funniest stand-ups working today. So combine the comfort onstage with the raw talent, and you get an incredibly funny stand-up monologue …
Disney's live-action remake of Mulan is going to be a big test for the studio in a number of ways. The $200 million tag is the priciest so far for the redos of animated classics, a strategy which has proven pretty lucrative so far ... except in China, or at least not with as much consistency as you might expect; that's another potential stumbling block. Add to the mix a female director (Niki Caro) who is not Chinese but is overseeing a fundamentally Chinese story for Disney, a studio which does not have Chinese co-production status on …
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney states in his keynote talk at the DICE summit that he believes politics should be kept out of the business of video games.
