There is an irony to working on an ensemble series like "Star Trek," to be sure. On the one hand, every member of the crew is vital, and watching people work together -- solving problems, and generally being resourceful and intelligent -- is the central appeal of the show. But, because each show focuses on the crew of a ship or space station, responsibilities will have to be delegated, and those with bigger, more dramatic, more commanding jobs are ultimately going to command the most screen time. The captains on "Star Trek" shows tend to be their focus, with...

Renowned Japanese filmmaker Shinsuke Sato has signed on to direct a live-action adaptation of “My Hero Academia” for Legendary Entertainment.

★★★☆☆ Cannily released by arthouse distributors Artificial Eye in the same week as the Austrian auteur's 2012 Palme d'Or winner Amour, Michael Haneke's made for TV Franz Kafka adaptation The Castle (Das Schloß, 1997) is not regularly cited in rundowns of the director's very best work - more than likely due to its televisual origins.
