Netflix has debuted a teaser trailer for the upcoming series ‘Kaos’ in which Jeff Goldblum plays the role of the all-powerful god, Zeus.
Zeus: King of the Gods, ruler of the world. He’s cruel, stylish and all-powerful.
That is until he’s not. From BAFTA-winning screenwriter and showrunner Charlie Covell (The End Of The F***ing World), Kaos is a bold, darkly comic, contemporary take on Greek mythology: exploring love, power, and life in the underworld.
Having long enjoyed his status as king of the gods, Zeus’s reign has never been truly threatened. That is until he wakes up one morning and discovers a wrinkle on his forehead. Believing it to be the harbinger of an ancient prophecy which foretells his destruction, neurosis sets in: Zeus becomes convinced his fall is coming. As his paranoia takes hold, the god of gods – seeing signs everywhere – starts to dangerously self-destruct.

Fresh from their Cannes success with “Kinds of Kindness,” iconic director Yorgos Lanthimos and his totemic star Emma Stone are now busily filming “Bugonia,’ a sci-fi conspiracy movie that is a remake of South Korean film “Save the Green Planet.”
The film follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. The adapted script is from “Succession” and “The Menu” writer Will Tracy.
While the new film’s co-producer and co-financier Korean conglomerate Cj Enm long ago put in place an IP strategy that involves the development of local and international remakes, the company believes it unlikely that a new “Save the Green Planet” would have taken off without the global expansion of “Hallyu,” or the Korean wave.

Ever since it was announced, Harry Potter fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the television series. A gargantuan undertaking, the aim is to adapt from book per series, meaning an extremely long term commitment to whichever creative team took on the challenge.
There was fierce competition for the job. It was reported earlier this year that a a series of pitch meetings were being held between Warner Bros and a variety of writers, all of whom pitched their take on the show.

HBO and Warner Bros. have taken a major leap forward with the upcoming "Harry Potter" TV show. The companies have officially named Francesca Gardiner as showrunner and executive producer of the series. Meanwhile, Mark Mylod has been set as an executive producer and director of multiple episodes of the show.
This ambitious "Harry Potter" show was first announced by Warner Bros. Discovery last year. The idea is to re-adapt all of the books spanning a full decade of television. That means Gardiner and Mylod are presumably in this for the long haul, as it will take consistency to ensure this series stays on track. The as-yet-unannounced cast will age quickly, meaning there won't be room for any lengthy delays or multi-year breaks between seasons. No pressure. But that's likely why these are the creatives at the top, as they've both proven their ability to work well in the HBO system time and time again.

Since then the actress has participated in a number of notable projects, but one movie definitely stands out among them. Even though it was released 2 years ago, this thriller is now still gaining strong viewership and is conquering HBO’s global top too.
The film’s plot revolves around a couple who travels to a private island to eat at a prestigious restaurant operated by a celebrity chef. As the dinner begins and a series of courses is introduced, it becomes clear that this night will be the last one for the guests.

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone have emerged as quite the duo in recent years. The director and actress managed to turn both "The Favourite" and "Poor Things" into rare, original box office hits that also went on to garner some major awards season love. Now, they're back together again with another dark comedy in the form of "Kinds of Kindness," which is rolling out in select theaters next weekend before expanding nationwide in the coming weeks. The question is, can Lanthimos and Stone pull off a hat trick and go three for three?

Who among us hasn’t secretly yearned for someone else’s life? Whether it’s a famous celebrity or just a well-to-do friend, coveting someone else’s seemingly perfect life is commonplace.
The concept takes a dark twist in writer/director Nicholas Tomnay’s feature, What You Wish For. And while the title may eschew the first few words of the well-known saying, the missing words from the warning loom large over the film.
The film begins as protagonist Ryan (Nick Stahl) steps out of the airport in an unnamed South American location. He’s greeted by a professional driver who promptly delivers him to an empty, isolated villa.

These include, undoubtedly, Sidney Prescott from the Scream franchise, as well as the leads of 2017’s hits, Get Out and It.
Neve Campbell’s Sidney paved the way for all modern female characters of the genre, and the lead of the horror we’re going to talk about is no exception. This slasher is claimed to be a must-watch because of only her, apart from its impeccably-written plot.

Anya Taylor-Joy is opening up about why she has fought for several of her characters to express onscreen rage.
During a wide-ranging interview for a GQ cover story, the Emmy-nominated actress revealed the instances where she pushed to change an emotional scene that saw her character crying to one that invoked anger.
“I’ve developed a bit of a reputation for fighting for feminine rage, which is a strange thing, because I’m not promoting violence — but I am promoting women being seen as people,” Taylor-Joy explained. “We have reactions that are not always dainty or unmessy.”
The first time the actress advocated for “female rage” was for her feature acting debut in Robert Eggers’ The Witch. Her character Thomasin is initially meant to cry when she is dragged from the family’s farmyard and accused of being the evil presence inside the house. However, Taylor-Joy said she couldn’t...

Anya Taylor-Joy said an interview with British GQ that she has often fought for her characters to express rage on screen. It turns out there have been several films where in the script her character is supposed to cry, but Taylor-Joy just didn’t think that was the right emotional beat. She decided to speak up for herself and successfully convinced her directors to let her character have more rage.

With his latest film, Kinds Of Kindness, only hitting the Croisette at the Cannes Film Festival a few short days ago, Yorgos Lanthimos could've been forgiven for taking a breather to soak up some rays on the French Riviera — but that's just not the Poor Things filmmaker's style. As reported by THR, Lanthimos' next project, sci-fi comedy Bugonia, has been snapped up by Focus Features and Universal. And what's more, his Kinds Of Kindness leads Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are set to star.
As we shared back in February, Lanthimos' next film will be an English-language remake of Joon-Hwan Jang's 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy Save The Green Planet. The original movie's barmy plot follows a conspiracy-obsessed man who becomes convinced that a number of his homeland's top brass are secretly reptilian alien invaders bent on Earth's destruction, going so far as to abduct several of them in an...

Here’s what we know about Bugonia so far: according to The Hollywood Reporter, 'the film is based on the 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy, Save the Green Planet, with the English-language version being produced by Midsommar director Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen at Square Peg.’
The script is by Will Tracy, writer of 2022’s excellent satire, The Menu.

The latest Yorgos Lanthimos / Emma Stone team-up, a film called Kinds of Kindness (previously known as And), is set to reach theatres on June 21st – but first, it’s having its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, which is now underway. The first reviews of Kinds of Kindness are now arriving online, and they’re describing this 165 minute “triptych fable” as dark, bizarre, insidious, intriguing, brilliant, bonkers, disturbing, puzzling, funny, surreal, creepy, mind-bending, twisted, and innovative. We have rounded up some of them below led by one from our own Eric Walkuski!

Anya Taylor-Joy is now one of the most promising actresses of the industry, proving her talent by the performances in the Netflix miniseries The Queen's Gambit (2020), the black comedy The Menu (2022) and the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
However, back in 2015, she debuted in a lesser known horror flick, which can be considered one of the best genre’s movies of the 2010s. Reddit still recalls how perfectly she fitted its suspenseful atmosphere, and how it kept them on the edge of their seats.
Set in New England of the 1630s, it focuses on a Puritan family encountering forces of evil reaching their farm. The first tragedy happening to them is the mysterious disappearance of the youngest son Samuel, who was stolen and killed by a witch.

There is one movie which obviously managed to do so, given the enormous amount of memes, viral videos and Halloween costumes inspired by it. It’d be surprising to hear that it appears to be a sequel, but it definitely overhyped the original movie.
Its plot focuses on the life of a mentally ill young woman forced to live with her abusive parents and her husband at the farm. She can’t stand this way of life and lusts for the glamorous life of a chorus girl or a film star, but her dreams don't seem to come true.

Director George Miller picked Taylor-Joy after an audition where she nailed her performance of a portion of the 1976 film Network.

Caitlin Cronenberg’s assured directorial debut Humane begins with the planet plagued by ecological disaster. After decades of ignoring the warnings of scientists, society is battling the threat of its own extinction. Erratic weather patterns are commonplace. A scarcity of food and water has led to strict rations. Curfews abound. The ozone layer is anemic from years of abuse, leaving little protection from Uv rays. Everyone walks around with reflective umbrellas.
In this not-so-distant dystopian future, countries have one year to reduce their population by 20 percent. These grim terms are part of the Athens accord, an emergency international meeting convened to respond to this man-made crisis. In North America, where Humane is vaguely set, the government has created a voluntary euthanasic program. Families of citizens who enlist are paid $250,000 and receive gratitude in the form of a shoddily constructed “Thank you” video on a nationally televised piece of propaganda. The...

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes are looking to take a bite out of 28 Years Later, with the actors joining the long-awaited sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Danny Boyle is once again directing, after helming 2002’s 28 Days Later, which centered on a man (Cillian Murphy) who wakes up in the hospital to find the United Kingdom overtaken by a zombie plague. Civil War filmmaker Alex Garland, who penned the script, is back to write what is intended to be a trilogy of films for Sony. The original feature helped revive the zombie genre and already had a sequel, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, which only nominally involved Boyle and Garland as executive producers.
Boyle and Garland will produce the new film with Andrew Macdonald, Peter Rice and Bernie Bellew. Original star Murphy will serve as executive producer.
Comer has the period motorcycle drama The Bikeriders due out June...
