Movie shoots on the water can be notoriously difficult. Movie shoots on water involving sharks can be borderline impossible. But director Jon Turteltaub says shooting on his giant shark movie, The Meg, went smoothly.“It went ridiculously well,” he told me, “considering how badly it should have gone. We learned a lot from the other movies that have shot on

Mr. Robot wrapped up its third season last December, shortly after the USA series was renewed for a fourth year. But earlier this week, star and producer Christian Slater suggested the next season could very well be the end for the Emmy-winning series.While speaking with Collider, Slater noted the next season is still being written and that he has no idea how much he’ll appear. But the

John C. Reilly has a handful of exciting, original projects on the way. He plays a hired gun opposite Joaquin Phoenix in his next film, The Sisters Brothers, an inventive take on the western from French filmmaker Jacques Audiard. This December he’ll be the Dr. Watson to Will Ferrell’s Sherlock in the upcoming detective spoof. He’s also portraying one half of Laurel

In 1973, Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman starred in the prison escape drama Papillon. Now their roles are being played by Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek in a new remake from director Michael Noer. Those may be big shoes to fill, but for the Mr. Robot star, getting over the intimidation factor is just a part of the process.Noer’s Papillon is based

When you think of the typical Western, you think of savage, futile violence, emotionally aloof men, and narratives driven by a thirst for revenge and greed. Jacques Audiard’s The Sisters Brothers is none of those things. Instead, Audiard (A Prophet, Rust and Bone) uses the genre to tell a surprisingly tender and contemplative story about two assassin brothers, bound by the painful

In Jacques Audiard’s The Sisters Brothers, assassins Eli and Charlie Sisters arrive in Mayfield, Oregon, a fictional town named after the fearsome figure who runs it. When Eli and Charlie walk into the local saloon to meet Mayfield, they’re expecting to find a man, the burly macho type you’d usually see in a typical Western. Instead, they meet a tall woman

It was the running joke from pretty much the moment it was announced that Damien Chazelle was going to make a movie about Neil Armstrong. “Well, I hope no one spoils the ending for me!” But it was actually something I wanted to know: How do you make a suspenseful, exciting movie about one of the most

I can tell you the plot of Can You Ever Forgive Me?, but it’s nowhere near as great as Richard E. Grant’s synopsis. So I’ll let the English actor and soon-to-be Star Wars star describe his new film for you: “It’s a kind of buddy road movie that goes from bar to bookshop to bar to courtroom

As a founder of Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, Frank Marshall produced all of the Indiana Jones movies, including The Last Crusade, where Indy and his cohorts track down the Holy Grail. In real life, Marshall has spent decades hunting one of cinema’s Holy Grails: The Other Side of the Wind, a never-finished film directed by Orson Welles that Marshall

It is very easy to envision a scenario where the premise for Creed II — Russian boxer Ivan Drago, the man who killed Apollo Creed in Rocky IV, returns to train his son for a fight against Creed’s son — goes laughably, horribly wrong. Instead, Creed II pulls it off. And a big reason why the story works is Dolph
