Home Entertainment, that ambitiously adapts the 1988's four-issue “Batman: A Death in the Family” comic arc, written by Jim Starlin and illustrated by Jim Aparo, with iconic cover art by Mike Mignola. The landmark DC event allowed fans to vote by telephone to determine the story’s ending, a chance that modern audiences now get to repeat through the feature's interactive elements. Batman: Death in …

How do you review a nightmare? That's basically the question in front of me as I try to sum up the first three episodes of Season 2 of The Shivering Truth. Adult Swim's sophomore season of the stop-motion animated series returns tonight at midnight (just after Rick and Morty's new episode) to show off creator Vernon Chatman's latest batch of unfiltered, stream-of-semi-consciousness thought brought to life through meticulous craft and a creative team possessed of surprisingly strong stomachs. It's part nightmare, part philosophical pondering, and all mind-melting enigmatic entertainment. You …

While we will never actually know, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan attempt to answer the question in their Netflix limited series, Hollywood, which is like a What If…? comic book about Hollywood in the 1940s. The series takes real people like Rock Hudson, Anna May Wong, and Vivien Leigh and combines them with fictionalized aspiring actors and filmmakers who are willing to do whatever it takes to make Hollywood look at every person as equal, no matter their race or sexual orientation. …

The first images have arrived for Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Tenet. Although it’s got a cryptic logline of “an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage,” Nolan notes that espionage is just where the story starts, and then it starts crossing between genres. The director tells EW: “We’re jumping off from the point of view of an espionage film, but we’re going to a number of different places,” explains the director of the blockbusters Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and the Christian Bale-starring Batman trilogy. “We’re crossing a few different genres in a hopefully …

When you think of Jim Mickle, you probably conjure a certain type and tone of movie to mind. The filmmaker behind indie horror gems like Stake Land and We Are What We Are and crime thrillers like Cold in July and the wonderful Sundance TV series Hap and Leonard, Mickle has an established talent for blending grounded narratives with a touch of high-concept fantasticism. With his new Netflix sci-fi detective drama, Mickle takes his biggest swing yet with an ambitious genre-bending tale of murder, obsession, and redemption. The less you know about In the Shadow of the …

How do you follow up a sensation like 2017’s IT? The long-developed adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic horror novel of the same name was a critical and commercial hit, shattering records and delighting audiences (both diehard fans and a new generation alike) with the coming of age tale of the Losers Club and the corrupted history of Derry, Maine; home to the child-eating shape-shifting creature best known as Pennywise the Clown. With New Line Cinema’s IT Chapter Two, in theaters this week, the answer is you follow it up with a wild, enthusiastic swing …

Early reviews for IT Chapter Two suggest the horror movie is a mostly satisfying and ambitious, but messy, sequel to the original film.

Barry is easily one of the best shows on TV right now, and as the brainchild of star Bill Hader, he’s shown an incredible range of talents from acting to writing to directing.

At the press day for It Chapter Two where Hader plays the adult Richie Tozier, he spoke to Collider's Steve Weintraub about plans for directing a feature and revealed …

Carnival Row is the exact type of show that is going to populate a post-Game of Thrones world for years to come. Co-creators Travis Beacham and René Echevarria have been trying to bring this thing to life for years—at one point it existed only as Beacham's feature-film spec A Murder on Carnival Row, in an entirely different life Guillermo del Toro was attached to direct the series—but the fact it's finally made its way to air now seems auspicious. Networks are racing to fill the void left by the biggest show of all …

Universal Pictures has released the first Cats trailer for Oscar-winning The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper’s ambitious adaptation of the long-running Broadway musical. The film boasts a star-studded ensemble led by Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, and Taylor Swift, but instead of using makeup to make the actors look like cats, Hooper and his team have utilized cutting-edge performance-capture technology to transform the cast into entirely CG felines. Hooper—who previously brought an unnecessary gritty realism to Les Miserables on the big screen to mixed results—co-wrote the Cats screenplay with Lee Hall (…
