Mike Flanagan is a fan of monologues. From his films (like “Doctor Sleep” and “Gerald’s Game”) to his TV series (including “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Midnight Mass”), many a Flanagan character has embarked on a long speech — often uncut but always meticulously edited.
But when he was in talks to direct the next iteration of “The Exorcist” franchise, the executives in charge were “concerned” about the film getting too talky.
“Part of what I said to Blumhouse and Universal when we were discussing this was I don’t think this is a monologue project,” Flanagan said while speaking on a panel at the Atx TV Festival. “The ritual itself is something of a monologue, but we’ve seen that. We’ve seen somebody shout prayers at somebody. That was scary 50 years ago, I don’t see that working here.”
Still, given Flanagan’s history, he said he understood why they would be concerned.

When Loki debuted in 2021, fans were introduced to Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), the variant whose exploits lead the God of Mischief (Tom Hiddleston) deeper into the depths of the Time Variance Authority (Tva) and the conspiracy behind its ruler. As Season 1 unfolded, Sylvie sought to unleash free will, eliminating the forces that tear variants away from their timelines and loved ones as she had been when she was a child. When viewers pick back up with Sylvie in Season 2, she’s doing her best to move on, but even time and a new life set in 1980s Oklahoma isn’t enough to help her escape the past. When Loki and Mobius (Owen Wilson) come crashing back into her life, Sylvie finds herself compelled to help them solve the Tva’s meltdown, which was seemingly sparked by her killing of He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) in Season 1. Ultimately, by the end,...

“Crimson Peak” is a movie directed by Guillermo del Toro starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston.

“Crimson Peak” is one of those films that place Guillermo del Toro somewhat close to Tim Burton’s universe, very close to Coppola’s “Dracula” (1992), but still holding its unique touch of a universe filled with strange creatures, wonderful photography, and exceptional cinematography.

Not so long ago, we reported that the upcoming Blumhouse and Universal planned remake of The Exorcist had seemingly found its director, as renowned genre filmmaker Mike Flanagan was in talks to direct the movie. This news broke not long after David Gordon Green, who directed last year’s reboot film The Exorcist: Believer, left the project altogether. At the time, the studios announced a big $400-million trilogy, but after Green’s movie failed completely, they were looking for a change of direction. Now, we can confirm both that Flanagan has signed on to direct the next movie, and that the studios have given up on their original idea.
Namely, the trilogy plan was completely scrapped and Flanagan will be given more creative freedom to do what he wants, and from what we can gather, the series is heading into completely new territory, as Flanagan doesn’t really intend to...

The line-up for the new series of Variety’s Actors On Actors has been revealed, with high profile movie performers interviewing each other.
Variety’s Actors On Actors is one of the most delightful series you can watch as a film fan. The central conceit is that two actors sit down for a natter about their work, often going off on tangents, acting as a unique insight into the industry.
Generally, the pairings are quite surprising, with the actors concerned often never having worked together and, in some cases, seeming quite random, but each one is fascinating and, usually, an absolute hoot. You can see Kate Winslet shooting the breeze with Gary Oldman, for example, or Beanie Feldstein with Florence Pugh – we are still waiting for Jason Statham to make an appearence.

Peter Jackson’s King Kong was the ninth entry in the King Kong franchise. The film remains Jackson’s only monster movie and he didn’t return to direct a sequel film. But he was interested to see a sequel of the film from one director who has a lifelong fascination with monsters. Jackson thought it would be great if Guillermo del Toro helmed the sequel, after hearing rumors of it at San Diego Comic-Con in 2014.

However, the sequel eventually went nowhere and WB rebooted the franchise with Kong: Skull Island in 2017. Del Toro’s work includes films like Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, and Pacific Rim. He had worked with Peter Jackson to write the screenplay of The Hobbit trilogy.

Sophia Di Martino knows why the Marvel Studios breakout series “Loki” was so successful creatively. It was partially due to the casting. Much of it was in the writing and the direction, but mostly, it was about the dynamic between the title character, played by Tom Hiddleston, and Loki’s multiverse doppelganger, Sylvie, portrayed by Di Martino herself.

Based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel of the same name, Steven Spielberg’s 2011 film War Horse received widespread praise upon its release. However, one notable individual that the film failed to impress is the original author of the story, Morpurgo himself, who later said that the film adaptation could have been much better.

Veteran filmmaker Steven Spielberg has a knack for bringing people to tears, be it from his star-studded masterpieces of work like Schindler’s List or simply by his words. Surprisingly enough, one of his victims was none other than the iconic Loki portraying Hollywood heartthrob in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Hiddleston.

This was way before Hiddleston had even joined the MCU in his fan-favorite role, back in 2010. And the way he was almost driven to tears was just through a conversation with the Indiana Jones director where the Hollywood mogul offered him a role in one of his best movies to date: Spielberg’s 2011 war/action film, War Horse.

With the God of Thunder having starred in four MCU solo films already, everyone is looking forward to Thor 5. Introduced in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor (2011), Chris Hemsworth’s character became the first hero in the MCU timeline to play the lead in four solo films, the last release being 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder. Thus, the rumors swirling around this forthcoming installment have us both excited and anxious about what’s to come.
According to Marvel Updates, the upcoming film will follow Thor’s efforts to prevent a war between New Asgard and Omnipotence City. The idea of Thor being caught in the middle of a cosmic showdown between New Asgard and Omnipotence City is enough to make any fan’s heart race. We all know that Thor is no stranger to conflict, but this time, the stakes seem higher than ever.

Last Thursday, FX confirmed that its adaptation of James Clavell’s “Shōgun” will continue past its first season and thus compete as a drama series rather than a limited one at the upcoming Emmys. Since it had spent the preceding three weeks as Gold Derby’s predicted Best Limited Series winner and was expected to reap several acting nominations, every drama and limited race was shaken up by its reclassification – and the dust still has not settled.
Within 48 hours of the “Shōgun” shift, our 2,500+ Emmy predictors came to the consensus that it will be nominated for Best Drama Series and all of the corresponding main acting awards. Even lead actor Cosmo Jarvis and supporting actress Moeka Hoshi, who never quite managed to reach predicted nominee status before, quickly broke into our forecasted drama lineups. Jarvis and his seemingly more secure lead male costar, Hiroyuki Sanada, displaced both Tom Hiddleston (“Loki...

Disparage the Marvel Cinematic Universe all you want, but there's no denying that when it comes to casting, Kevin Feige and the McU's longtime casting director, Sarah Halley Finn, have the magic touch. It's all but impossible now to picture anyone other than Robert Downey Jr. lending his snarky wit to the self-declared "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist" Tony Stark, or to imagine a different actor bringing the same spot-on mix of wholesomeness and New Yorker defiance like Chris Evans did as Steve Rogers. And let's not forget Thor and Loki, two Marvel Comics veterans who could've easily been dismissed as dorky C-listers, only to become the franchise's most long-lasting players thanks to Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.

Tom Hiddleston’s Loki will forever be one of the most loved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While he started off as an antagonist, his slow but steady redemption arc made us all fall in love with him. Thor: Ragnarok saw one of the best versions of Loki but we all know what happened after that and let’s just not revisit it as the wounds are still pretty fresh.

Then came the Disney+ series Loki which completely changed the character and while we didn’t think we could love him more, we did. And now, we can not even imagine another actor in Tom Hiddleston’s shoes. However, did you know that he actually auditioned to play Thor? Well, let’s just say that we are thankful the casting team saw potential in him as Loki.

Fortnite is still the talk of the town especially when the official page of the game casually teases a new collaboration with Marvel Studios’ Loki. The Disney+ series left a massive void and the live service game will fill in the hole with new content related to the successful show.
The page posted a massive image of Miss Minutes, a sinister yet endearing character from the series, and teased more will follow. Perhaps the in-game item shop will be refreshed with a fresh batch of cosmetic items like skins featuring iconic variants of the God of Mischief.

In a big deal that closed in the days leading into this week’s Cannes market, Apple Original Films has landed worldwide rights to Tenzing, the new package we told you about last week starring Tom Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe.
The question we asked today was whether the U.S. buyers would come to play for the Cannes market projects and we have an answer already.
Oscar-winning producer See-Saw Films (The King’s Speech) is producing Tenzing, about the inspirational life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside fellow outsider New Zealander Edmund Hillary.
A search is underway to cast the lead role of Tenzing Norgay who will star alongside BAFTA-nominated Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as Sir Edmund Hillary and four-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) as the English expedition leader, Colonel John Hunt.

“Tenzing,” a film about the true story of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s 1953 trek to the summit of Mount Everest alongside Edmund Hillary, has been snapped up by Apple Original Films.
Casting is underway for Tenzing while “Loki” star Tom Hiddleston is set to play New Zealand mountaineer Hillary.
Willem Dafoe (“Eternity’s Gate”) is expected to star as English expedition leader Colonel John Hunt.
Apple acquired the rights the project in what was described as a “competitive situation” as Cannes kicked off. It is one of the first major deals to come out of the market as it goes into Day 3.
“Tibetan born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest,” reads the logline. “After six previous attempts, Tenzing risked everything for one final venture.

Ed Harris is heading back behind the camera to take the helm on an adaptation of Kim Zupan’s acclaimed novel ‘The Ploughmen.’
Joining the cast on the neo-noir crime thriller are Owen Teague, Nick Nolte and Bill Murray. Amy Madigan and Lily Harris are also set for the film.
The film is said to be set in the wilderness of Montana, where a strange friendship develops between a haunted young deputy sheriff and a notorious old murderer. John Gload (Nolte) is a killer so adept at his job that only now has he been apprehended. Val Millimaki (Teague) is a low man in the Copper County Sheriff’s Department. As Val continues his unlucky streak of finding dead bodies, Sheriff (Murray) puts him on night duty to try and get Gload to reveal his past. Val finds much in common with his prisoner and dangerously seeks counsel from him.

Crimson Peak may be the quintessential Guillermo del Toro film, as it compresses his fetishistic attention to detail into a single looming set where creaking floorboards, scores of dying moths, and the frequent intrusions of mutilated ghosts are just pieces in the giant dollhouse where the director merrily plays. The combination of gothic ghost story and harlequin romance doesn’t break new ground for either genre, but the intensity of Brandt Gordon’s art direction and Kate Hawley’s costume design reinforce the innate connection that period romance and horror share in how these genres so purely express their most profound ideas through ornate style.
Amusingly, the focus of the film’s first act—the gamesmanship of high society’s courtship rituals playing out in well-lit parlors—is no less tense than the story’s eventual retreat into the dark confines of Allerdale Hall. The most dominant sound effects in...

Marvel hasn't been having the best time of late and the shaky attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle that was "Thor: Love and Thunder" is a good example. Whereas its predecessor, "Thor: Ragnarok," saw star Chris Hemsworth leaning into his comedic sensibilities to great effect, even Hemsworth himself agreed that "Love and Thunder" was just too silly. But when the God of Thunder made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut all the way back in 2011, the opposite was true.
Whereas "Iron Man," the film that changed Hollywood forever by kicking off the massively popular interconnected universe, was led by Robert Downey Jr. and his magnetic charisma, 2011's "Thor" was a darker affair that embraced the character's origins and delivered what was essentially a fantasy adventure with relative unknowns in the lead roles of Thor and Loki. In the late-aughts, Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston did not enjoy the superstar status they do today,...

At that time, Snyder was working on his DC movie, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Loki: Hot Toys Unveils "God Loki" Figure, Offering Detailed Look At New Costume From Season 2 Finale
In the closing moments of Loki's season 2 finale, the God of Mischief destroyed the Temporal Loom and created a new, endless Multiverse which he sits at the centre of.

Two versions will be available; a limited edition with rooted hair, and another with a traditional head sculpt.
