Chris Evans couldn’t believe that none of the scenes in Scarlett Johansson’s critically acclaimed movie were improvised. Johansson shared with Evans that Noah Baumbach, the director of Marriage Story, was very specific about every spoken word in his film. Evans, who compared the film to theater, was surprised and shared that Baumbach and Johansson deserved Oscars for the film.

Johansson accepted the role of Nicole Barber while she was still filming reshoots for Avengers: Endgame. Evans too was ready to move on from the superhero role right after the two-part Infinity Saga finale since he wanted to explore other types of roles. He landed the role in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, while the Scoop actress had her second chance for a film with Baumbach.

Produced by El Deseo, the company owned by Almodóvars Pedro and Agustin, Luis Ortega’s last film, El Angel (2018) was the gloriously kitsch, sexually mischievous, and very loosely fictionalized true story of a notorious Argentine serial killer known for his baby-faced looks and crimes so hideous that Ortega balked at portraying even half of them. Though it comes without the Almodóvar imprimatur, Kill the Jockey (just The Jockey in Spanish) is a more subdued yet somehow even stranger piece of work, starting out like a deadpan Wes Anderson spoof of a Stanley Kubrick gangster movie and slowly mutating into a genderfluid/trans version of Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin.
The jockey is Remo Manfredini (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), a once-famous horse racer, and we find him in a catatonic state in a jaw-droppingly bizarre dive bar frequented by literally legless drinkers. Manfredini is out cold, and a gang of mobster types comes to take him.

The world grieved when Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye fought to decide who dies in Avengers: Endgame. Sacrificing her life, Natasha Romanoff died and Clint Barton returned with the Soul Stone.

After the events of Avengers: Endgame, a solo Black Widow film was released but it received average ratings. With fans missing her severely, an idea was posted on X that talked about a way of bringing back Natasha Romanoff, one last time.
“Just Like Budapest All Over Again!”
If you know this dialogue then congrats, you are a true fan of the MCU. Although it is eventually revealed what happened in Budapest between Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, the operation was clear enough to show the bonding between the two.

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? One of the most-discussed films coming out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival was Coralie Fargeat’s Revenge follow-up The Substance, a body horror feature that picked up Best Screenplay. Starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid, the wild full trailer has now arrived ahead of Mubi’s September 20 theatrical release.
Luke Hicks said in his review, “Qualley and Moore are naked for a large part of the film, lending their figures––twisted, contorted, dragged, deformed, depicted in extreme close-ups, and thematically sexualized––to a movie that’s making some very strong, unpopular claims about a woman’s body image in the 21st century. Fargeat’s overarching perspective on Sparkle’s hellish descent couldn’t be less sexualized, depicting naked beautiful people in situations so upsetting one wouldn’t possibly be turned-on. It’s reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson...

Scarlett Johansson’s plethora of successful movies has cemented her status as a major star in the Hollywood business. However, even she is not immune to controversies that stir public debate. One such instance was her involvement in the movie Ghost in the Shell, adapted from a beloved Japanese manga.

But the movie faced severe backlash for casting Johansson, a White actress, for the role of Major Motoko Kusanagi (live-action Mira Killian), a character who is Japanese. However, despite this outrage, the actress in a past interview detailed she may return for a sequel. But her participation depends on one crucial condition.

Scarlett Johansson took on the role of an alien who preys on men in Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 film, Under the Skin. After starring in seductive and superhero roles, Johansson wanted to take a break and act in indie films. While she read several scripts during this time, she sought out Glazer’s script for its high-end concept. Johansson barely had any dialogues in the experimental sci-fi film.

Though the Holocaust had no one architect, Rudolf Höss remains singularly responsible for the speed and efficiency of the atrocities committed at Auschwitz, later emulated at the other Nazi death camps, thanks to his approval of the use of the deadly Zyklon B gas. And for his efforts at the first Auschwitz camp in Oświęcim, Poland, he was rewarded by being made commandant of death camp administration throughout the Nazi-occupied lands. This is the monster on full display in Jonathan Glazer’s adaptation of Martin Amis’s The Zone of Interest.
While the novel’s protagonist is named Paul Doll, Glazer chose to name Christian Friedel’s character Rudolf Höss. This immediately points to Glazer’s interest in bringing in the weight of a well-recorded historical character living in a specific place and time: the Höss household next to Auschwitz I in Oświęcim from 1943 to 1944.

This summer, A24 wants theatergoers to relive their own teenage dreams – or nightmares, depending on the films selected in their upcoming series.
A24 and AMC Theaters announced the film series “A24 Presents: A Teenage Dream Series,” which includes four beloved A24 films that deal with tweens, teens, and everything in between. The series begins August 7 with Bo Burnham’s directorial debut “Eighth Grade.” A new film will screen each Wednesday through August 28.
The angst and back-to-school dread that comes with the August Summer Scaries is embodied by the slew of selected films that each embody different genres, including (of course) horror.
Jonah Hill’s first feature “Mid90s,” which he wrote and directed, screens August 14, followed by Sofia Coppola’s “The Bling Ring” based on the true story of L.A. teens looting celebrities’ homes on August 21. The recent viral horror film “Talk to Me” rounds out the series August 28. The...

“A Different Man” narra la odisea de un actor, Edward, que aspira al estrellato y decide someterse a una operación para corregir unos tumores en su rostro con el fin de transformar drásticamente su aspecto y conseguir así más papeles. Sin embargo, la falta de ofertas tras el procedimiento y una obra de teatro inspirada en su apariencia anterior, despertarán en él una obsesión que lo empujará al límite y lo llevará a hacer todo por recuperar lo que pudo haberle pertenecido desde el inicio.

A24 has shared the official trailer for the latest twisty tale to join their slate, titled A Different Man. Starring Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve, and Adam Pearson, the dark comedy-drama first premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Written and directed by Aaron Schimberg, A Different Man centers on Edward (Stan), an aspiring actor who lives with a facial deformity. After undergoing a medical procedure and dramatically changing his life, the trailer indicates that Edward isn’t quite free from the ghosts of his past — especially when he encounters another actor tasked with playing Edward himself, pre-surgery.
The trailer also shows glimpses of Reinsve, known for her incredible work in 2021’s The Worst Person in the World, and Pearson, who audiences may remember from 2014’s Under the Skin. As a real actor living with neurofibromatosis, Pearson has spent years campaigning and raising awareness aimed at decreasing the bullying that...

A24 has released the trailer for Aaron Schimberg’s “A Different Man,” starring Sebastian Stan as a person with a facial difference who undergoes reconstructive surgery to change his appearance. Stan won the best actor prize at the Berlin Film Festival for his work in the film.
The film follows Edward, an aspiring actor with neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow on the skin and bone. Stan plays Edward in prosthetic makeup that is modeled after his co-star Adam Pearson, a real-life actor who has neurofibromatosis and has starred in films like “Under the Skin” and Schimberg’s “Chained for Life.”

At this year’s edition of the Sundance Film Festival, JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray got the chance to watch the psychological thriller A Different Man, which is coming to us from A24. Describing the film as a “blackly comic deconstruction of identity,” Bumbray gave it a 7/10 review that you can read at This Link. A wider audience will have the chance to watch A Different Man when it reaches a nationwide theatrical release on September 20th – and with that date just two months away, a trailer for the film has arrived online.

Filmmaking duo Joe Williams and Charlie Edwards-Moss’ latest short film O, Glory! is a thrilling folk horror that pays homage to the iconic films of the 70s that founded the horror sub-genre whilst also ushering in the co-directors’ modern sensibility to the formula. The story follows a psychiatric doctor who visits an isolated house when he learns of a potential patient by the name of Deborah, whose brother believes she is beginning to lose her mind. What then unfolds is a story of hysteria, hallucinatory paranoia and twists that keep you on your toes through a palpably tense atmosphere and genuine moments of terror. Dn invited Williams and Edwards-Moss to join us for a chat about their filmmaking trajectory as creative partners, the era of filmmaking they drew influence from, and the artistic decision to capture everything on the scratchy, tactility of the 35mm film.

Any mention of Rotten Tomatoes scores must include a brief explanation of how the scores work. First, a critic or outlet needs to be approved by Rotten Tomatoes before they are permitted to submit a review. Approval is based mostly on career longevity, volume of readership, or both. When a critic submits their review to Rotten Tomatoes, they choose for themselves whether the review counts as positive or negative ("fresh" or "rotten" by Rt's gauge). Different critics have different criteria as to what counts as positive or negative. Some, for instance, count a two-and-a-half star review as positive, and others count that as negative.
Rotten Tomatoes then calculates the percentage of positive reviews vs. negative reviews, coming up with an "approval rating." If at least 60% of the reviews are positive, the film is declared "fresh." 59% and below counts as "rotten."

In the current era of filmmaking, a movie is only as good as its marketing strategy. No other film proved this better than Scarlett Johansson’s sci-fi action thriller The Island, which opened in 2005 to lackluster box office collections. However, the film later gained a cult following, with many appreciating the film’s ethical themes.
Johansson herself blamed the bad publicity and promotions that the studio did for the original sci-fi movie. Directed by Michael Bay before his Transformers days and co-written by Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, the film only earned $162 million against a $126 million budget.

From the creators of the cosmic horror movie Daniel Isn’t Real, Brian DeLeeuw and Adam Egypt Mortimer, comes Invader, an upcoming sci-fi novel with a very unique twist.
Described as “a horrifying and thought-provoking vision of what it feels like to invade the Earth,” Invader is a deluxe, full-color, illustrated novel about an alien invasion — told from the alien’s point of view! “In a style that’s one part Stephen King, one part David Cronenberg, and one part shattering family drama, Invader‘s gripping text is magnified by twenty full-color illustrations by acclaimed comic book artist Jock.”
The team explains, “DeLeeuw and Mortimer worked together for several years developing the story of an alien invasion using this unique point of view.”
“I love Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” said Mortimer. “All the versions. But what’s always interested me, and what I think has focused most of the work that I’ve done,...

Before his critically acclaimed film The Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer collaborated with Scarlett Johansson in the sci-fi film, Under the Skin. Johansson was riding high on the success of her Marvel films at the time and took a break to star in indie films. While she received several scripts, she sought out Glazer’s film which originally had a very different story.

It was unlike any films she had committed to before. She barely had any dialogue in the film and she had to be completely naked in a couple of scenes. However, something about Glazer’s film clicked with Johansson.

Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? One of the most-discussed films coming out of this year’s Cannes Film Festival was Coralie Fargeat’s Revenge follow-up The Substance, a body horror feature that picked up Best Screenplay. Starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid, the wild first teaser trailer has now arrived ahead of Mubi’s September 20 theatrical release.
Luke Hicks said in his review, “Qualley and Moore are naked for a large part of the film, lending their figures––twisted, contorted, dragged, deformed, depicted in extreme close-ups, and thematically sexualized––to a movie that’s making some very strong, unpopular claims about a woman’s body image in the 21st century. Fargeat’s overarching perspective on Sparkle’s hellish descent couldn’t be less sexualized, depicting naked beautiful people in situations so upsetting one wouldn’t possibly be turned-on. It’s reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson...

From Olivia Colman’s fraught sojourn to the Greek Isles in The Lost Daughter to Jessie Buckley’s terrifying trip up the M5 to the English countryside in Men and M. Night’s bummer beaches in Old, taking a little “me time” away from home is often the single biggest mistake any movie character could possibly make. Horror, psychological drama, comedy, mystery, rom-com. The genre hardly matters. In film, the simple act of taking a vacation is rarely the relaxing, restorative interlude one hopes that it might be, placing uneasy personalities in uncertain—even harrowing—circumstances.
So with another holiday weekend upon us and the summer theoretically in full swing, it’s time to make peace with travel advisories being a moving target and hot spots foreign and domestic getting hotter by the minute. No surprise then, that many of us now eye these “escapes” with more than a little bit of skepticism.

Coralie Fargeat made a splash with her debut Revenge. But she was only standing in a puddle, endearing niche corners of the global cinephile community to her cinematic bloodlust for sexually violent men and gore-horror filmmaking. With her second, The Substance, she’s fully submerged in the ocean and making waves.
Meet Elisabeth Sparkle, a Demi Moore-esque A-lister (played by Demi Moore) whose stardom has long since faded, leaving her, to great displeasure, in the instructor’s seat of a glam morning-fitness class called “Sparkle Your Life.” We learn about her iconic career through a cleverly designed timelapse that opens the film––a bird’s-eye view of her Hollywood Walk of Fame star being minted, premiered, adorned, celebrated, surrounded, stood on, passed, ignored, and eventually forgotten.
Much more displeasing to Elisabeth is a phone call she overhears with Harvey, the show’s batshit, ludicrously evil, executive-type producer who screams things like,...

Focus Features has bought international rights to “Hamlet,” Aneil Karia’s London-set modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s famed play starring Oscar winner Riz Ahmed.
Morfydd Clark and Joe Alwyn (“Kinds of Kindness”) also star in the film, which wrapped production at the end of last year and was acquired by Focus Features some time ago. WME Independent and CAA are co-repping North American rights, while WME handled international sales.
In this latest interpretation of “Hamlet,” Ahmed plays the titular lead, a man who is haunted by his father’s ghost and moves from elite London to the city’s underground, from Hindu temples to homeless tent cities. He embarks on a violent journey to avenge his father’s murder, ultimately questioning his own role in the family’s corruption.
The film was penned by Michael Lesslie (“Macbeth”). Ahmed produced “Hamlet” on behalf of his production company Left-Handed Films with Allie Moore.

Having directed the brilliant Arrival (2015), Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and the two Dune movies (2021 and 2024), Denis Villeneuve has already inscribed his name in cinematic history as the acclaimed sci-fi filmmaker.
Here are 7 movies, recommended by the director and available for watching on Prime Video, that guarantee a superior sci-fi experience.
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
It comes as no surprise that this iconic Old Hollywood masterpiece is in Villeneuve’s list. According to his own admission, Kubrick’s epic space opera was his first "cinematic shock" that became his most favorite movie, inspiring him for his own science fiction works.
2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Steven Spielberg’s classic drama movie affected not only the 1980’s genre’s features, but also the Dune director’s cinema taste, entering him the world of the French New Wave by assembling Francois Truffaut in its cast, and, obviously, his love for sci-fi films.

Cinema for Gaza, a group launched by a small group of female filmmakers and film journalists, has successfully raised more than $315,000 to support medical aid for the civilian population in Gaza.
A celebrity auction, organized by Cinema for Gaza, and supported by the likes of Tilda Swinton, Annie Lennox, Joaquin Phoenix, Spike Lee and Guillermo del Toro, raised some $316,778 (£254,297) for Medical Aid for Palestinians (Map), a U.K.-based charity that provides on-the-ground medical support, from sterile water to cancer drugs, for those on the Gaza Strip. The celebrities donated personal items — from signed film posters to personal Zoom chats to, in the case of Lennox, the handwritten lyrics to her Eurythmics hit “Sweet Dreams” — to be sold off to the highest bidder. (Lennox’s lyrics sheet was the top seller, with a bidder paying $26,222 for the piece of pop music history).

While “The Zone Of Interest” director Jonathan Glazer may still be embattled with criticism about his Oscar speech—the filmmaker caused much uproar during the Academy Awards ceremony for condemning the violence, “dehumanization,” and war in Gaza— the director is seemingly carrying on with business as usual.
Glazer is the latest filmmaker to direct an ad for Prada, which reunites the helmer with his “Under The Skin” star Scarlett Johansson, as part of a Prada Galleria bag series to “celebrate the art of performance.”

Ten years since “Under the Skin,” auteur Jonathan Glazer has reunited with muse Scarlett Johansson.
The collaborative duo first worked together on the 2014 sci-fi noir. Newly-minted Oscar winner Glazer, who recently helmed Best International Feature “The Zone of Interest,” directs Johansson in a Prada advertisement to promote the brand’s Galleria bag collection.
Johansson is captured struggling to recite lines from Shakespeare’s “Antony and Cleopatra” and “Macbeth” during a screen test. As tensions rise, Johansson’s frustrations give way to a memorable performance captured by the cameras on set, including her crying in exalted relief. The advertisement is mostly in black and white, but shifts to color as Johansson leaves the studio and sheds her actress persona to return to her real life; while carrying a Prada bag, she hails a taxi.

Jonathan Glazer has scarcely left the news cycle since Oscar night. His speech against genocide caused much furor in Hollywood, where accusations of anti-semitism were promptly lobbied against the filmmaker. That said, today's topic isn't that media storm or the director's recent contributions to the Cinema for Gaza campaign. Instead, it's time to honor Glazer's third feature, which celebrates ten years since its US release. Loosely adapted from a Michel Farber novel, Under the Skin follows Scarlett Johansson as she roams the Scottish landscape in search of men. She's an alien creature whose conquests meet a nightmarish demise, and her film is one of last decade's most tremendous cinematic achievements.
I'd go so far as saying that any "best of the 2010s" list that doesn't include it is highly suspect. Indeed, Under the Skin secured its masterpiece status rather instantly in my eyes, its opening like...

Scarlett Johansson is one of the most successful Hollywood actors out there. That is to be expected from a star who has acted in a plethora of famous works, including the likes of Avengers, Lucy, Her, and Lost in Translation, amongst other famous works. But that doesn’t mean that she has not faced the odd setback. Even she has had to face numerous rejections time and again, including losing out on a role to Lindsay Lohan.
Scarlett Johansson did not have it easy
Scarlett Johansson was turned down for many roles in her early days
Before Scarlett Johansson made it big as a Hollywood star, she had her fair share of struggles in the industry. It must be difficult for fans to believe that the Marriage Story star found it difficult to catch her big break very early.

Though likely shot before he gave literally the one Academy Awards speech worth anything on this godforsaken earth, we can submit his new Prada ad starring Scarlett Johansson as evidence that Jonathan Glazer––whatever that weird, genocide-denying Google Doc literally anyone could sign implies––will endure. His first work since The Zone of Interest and ten-years-on Under the Skin reunion fuses a Persona-like fixation on one of the world’s most famous faces with words from Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra, the latter a text I assume nobody but unhappy, difficult people (hello) are reading nowadays.
This is ultimately a luxury-design ad that only takes 95 seconds to watch so let’s not waste any more breath, though––while you’re here––you’re welcome to read my interview with Zone of Interest Dp Łukasz Żal for a closer look at the making of Glazer’s perplexing picture.

Audiences finally have a follow-up to Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin, kinda.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker has teamed up once again with Under the Skin star Scarlett Johansson for an ad to promote Italian fashion house Prada’s Galleria bag collection.
The ad, which dropped Wednesday, features Johansson struggling to recite lines from Shakespeare, including famous passages from Anthony and Cleopatra and Macbeth. “The campaign is a celebration of technique, an ode to the mechanism of acting as the true motor of cinema – and to the talent of the actor,” per intel from Prada. “The still and motion images showcase Johansson as an actor, honing her art – repeating phrases with different feeling and meaning, she showcases the infinite self-transformation that define an actor’s skill.”
The ad, which was shot in New York with Italian creative director Ferdinando Verderi, is Glazer’s first video work since he won an Oscar...

Jonathan Glazer has kept a low profile since his controversial 2024 Oscars acceptance speech.
But The Zone of Interest filmmaker has resurfaced to donate seven signed posters for his Oscar-winning movie, as well as a selection of posters for his 2014 film Under the Skin, to the Cinema for Gaza auction that is raising funds for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (Map).
“We are moved beyond words to feature donations from Jonathan Glazer and his co-creators on the most confronting film of our time, The Zone of Interest,” the auction organizers stated on the online site.
The film posters, donated by Glazer and Zone of Interest producer James Wilson, have so far drawn a bid for £2750.00 ($3,462.20), with the auction to end on April 12. The posters will be signed by Glazer, composer Mica Levi and Wilson.

As one of the most renowned actresses in the industry, Scarlett Johansson is not a stranger to Red Carpets. But her appearance at 2006’s Golden Globe Red Carpet has been highly controversial due to a viral mysterious clip. The internet was flooded with conspiracy theories after the mysterious video footage showed a woman disappearing behind Johansson.

Celebrities are not new to being asked weird questions, and for actresses, the questions can be outright sexist. Scarlett Johansson has had her fair share of such questions throughout her career, unfortunately.
The actress has no problem putting the interviewer in their place, and she has done it ever so often. However, one time, the Black Widow star was on the receiving end of a rather silly question, and Robert Downey Jr., her co-star, shut it down immediately.

Stars: Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Vicki Pepperdine, Ramy Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael | Written by Tony McNamara | Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos
Ever since he made a splash with 2009’s Dogtooth, Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos has been considered an exciting voice in cinema, resulting in accolades and award nominations for his disturbing and absurdist works. That does not change for Poor Things, an adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel which sees Lanthimos and writer Tony McNamara on fire once more after their previous collaboration with 2018’s The Favourite.
After committing suicide, Bella (Emma Stone) is resurrected by the scarred and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) – who Bella refers to as God. Initially naïve, Bella’s eagerness to learn more about the outside world clashes with Godwin’s desire to keep her safe.

Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar acceptance speech after Zone of Interest won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film has drawn condemnation from more than a thousand Hollywood actors, creatives and executives over the past few days, but there are also some in the entertainment industry who have spoken in support of Glazer and his speech.
For context, here is the entirety of Glazer’s speech:
Thank you so much. I’m going to read, I’m afraid.
Thank you to the Academy for this honor and to our partners A24 Films for access and Polish Film Institute, to the Stead Museum for their trust and guidance, to my producers, actors, collaborators.
All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say look what they did then, but rather look what we do now.

Linmon Pictures, one of the most outward-looking mainland Chinese entertainment firms, is preparing premium series “Hate Coin.”
The show is being produced in association with Jonathan Wong and Justina Shih’s production company Octagon Metatainment, a Hong Kong-based multimedia studio.
“Hate Coin” is based on international best-selling novel “Second Sister,” by successful Hong Kong novelist Chan Ho Kei, whose previous book “The Borrowed” was a crime story that panned five-decades.
The story follows the activities of a young woman whose school-age sister appeared to have committed suicide. Suspecting foul play, the woman trams up with a manipulative hacker and cybersecurity expert to try to dig deeper.
“What follows is a cat and mouse game through the city of Hong Kong and its digital underground, especially an online gossip platform, where someone has been slandering Siu-Man. The novel is also populated by a man harassing girls on mass transit; high school kids,...
