For a while now, voices in the mist who’ve had an early peek at Alex Garland’s dystopian thriller Civil War have warned the film might be irresponsible or too incendiary in its brutal depiction of a United States divided and engulfed in war. In the dire future presented in the film, Americans confront each other in military combat within their own cities, on their own doorsteps.Starring Kirsten Dunst as intrepid war photographer Lee Smith, leading a ragtag crew of journalists into combat zones to capture the harrowing stories and images, the movie certainly does not play shy about showing intense, bloody warfare.

Taylor Swift recently and has and opened up how they bonded over Mare Of Easttown.The actor, who starred as Priscilla Prelsey in Sophia Coppola’s Priscilla and who will next appear on screens in Alex Garland’s Civil War, recalled meeting Swift recently at the Golden Globes with Ruby Cruz, who played Spaeny’s character’s best friend on HBO‘s hit show starring Kate Winslet, Mare of Easttown.The drama, which premiered in 2021, followed a small-town detective (Kate Winslet’s Mare) as she investigates the murder of teen Erin McMenamin. Winslet went on to win Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie at the 2021 Emmys for the performance.“Taylor Swift brought up that she loved Mare of Easttown, which is so crazy, and Ruby went, ‘I’m in Mare of Easttown, too!’” recalled Spaeny talking to The Hollywood Reporter.She continued: “And then Taylor said, ‘But you were blonde in Mare of Easttown, weren’t you?’ So I don’t know what that says about Taylor.

Alex Garland’s political war thriller, “Civil War” opens in theaters this Friday, April 12, and now that all the reviews have arrived (read ours here), A24 is giving the film one last push, using some of the breathless raves as quotes to stir up excitement. We’re even quoted at the beginning of the trailer calling it “the movie event of the year.” READ MORE: ‘Civil War’ Review: Alex Garland’s Latest Is Both Unforgettable & Challenging As Hell [SXSW] That’s fairly accurate because “Civil War” feels like it could be this year’s “Joker” in terms of a movie potentially so polarizing it may have everyone from every aisle of the political divide watching it to see what they make of the film.

Selena Kuznikov Nick Offerman said he never thought he would be cast in a project that wasn’t a comedy. That is, until he got the script for “Civil War” from writer and director Alex Garland. “(Alex) is so thoughtful, that he could make this movie without pandering to anything, and instead is like here’s what I think about where we’re all headed,” Offerman told Variety.

As one of A24’s most expensive films, rumored to cost around $50 million, Alex Garland’s “Civil War” is seemingly part of the indie studios’ bigger swing to make more mainstream movies. It’s almost an ironic statement, given that contemporary political films commenting on a current political climate generally do pretty terribly at the box office; aka, a movie about Trump during the Trump administration likely would have tanked in theaters.

This August will finally see the return of the “Alien” franchise with Fede Álvarez’s “Alien: Romulus.” Taking place between the events of the first two movies, last week’s ‘Romulus’ teaser trailer helped build some anticipation as the new installment takes place on a space station (an obvious inspiration from the video game “Alien: Isolation”).

While Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” film series was basically killed off after its underperforming sequel, “Alien: Covenant,” clearly, 20 Century Studios believes the show must go on for the Alien/xenomorph franchise. And maybe it needs a cheaper cast to be cost-effective.

Look, let’s be honest. From the opening seconds of its debut trailer, we all knew that Alex Garland’s “Civil War” would not be a pill that went down easily.

One of the most anticipated movies in a contentious Red vs. Blue election year, A24‘s Civil War made its grand splash Thursday night in the Texas democratic stronghold of Austin — and the media, on which this feature casts a spotlight, savored it like a stack of beef ribs.

What to make of Fede Álvarez‘s “Alien: Romulus“? Fans still don’t know much about it as the upcoming sequel’s August 16 theatrical release approaches. There’s been bits of chatter about the movie, though.

After cleaning house during awards season, major awards taken at SAG, The Indie Spirit Awards, the Golden Globes, the Emmys, and the PGAs, the Netflix series, “Beef,” once seen as a limited series, is coming back for season two, but more as an anthology series it sounds like. Initially starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, the series centered on a road rage incident between two strangers and the ensuing vengeful feud that makes them both go unhinged.

Filmmaker Alex Garland is known for thought-provoking sci-fi films, having written the “28 Days Later” films and the upcoming belated sequel, the kickstart-the-sun space film, “Sunshine,” and directing his own films like “Ex Machina,” “Annihilation,” and more. But lately, particularly with the horror “Men,” Garland surely knows how to rattle the cage of audiences and seems to be doing it more provocatively in his last few films and poking the cultural bear, as it were.

under the ownership of Dick Clark Productions. But, even with all the changes, the ceremony — hosted by Jo Koy — should still see A-listers boozing it up and duking it out for Hollywood’s second biggest prize.Here are The Post’s critics’ picks for which movies and TV shows will win on Sunday, Jan.

We often wax effusive about movies, their meaning, their craft, their intention, how they are sculpted and shaped, but sometimes we forget about the director’s mantra: that casting is everything and we arguably sometimes take for granted how some movies that seem so perfect, may not work at all without the actors and performers at their center.

There’s an argument to be made that thought-provoking writer/director Alex Garland is the most influential sci-fi filmmaker of his generation. He wrote Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later“(2002) and “Sunshine” (2007), Mark Romanek’s “Never Let Me Go” (2010), and “Dredd” (2012), and then he made the jump to directing with daring movies like “Ex-Machina,” “Annihilation” and the horror “Men” (not to mention the excellent futurism drama, “Devs” for FX).

Believe it or not, the “Alien” franchise is more alive than ever before. Next year, there’s the potential for not only a new TV show in the franchise, but also the new sequel, titled “Alien: Romulus.” And if you’re a fan of the first two ‘Alien’ films, you’re in luck with the latter of those projects.  READ MORE: ‘Alien’: Timothy Olyphant Joins Noah Hawley’s FX Prequel Series While talking with Variety, “Alien: Romulus” star Cailee Spaeny, who is out there promoting her starring role in the critically acclaimed film, “Priscilla,” opened up about the new sci-fi horror film from director Fede Alvarez.

Elvis Presley in Priscilla.The Euphoria actor – who plays the rock and roll icon in Sofia Coppola’s biographical drama about his relationship with ex-wife Priscilla Presley – detailed how bacon became a key part of his diet ahead of filming.“You ate a lot of bacon,” Coppola said to Elordi in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, alongside Cailee Spaeny who plays Priscilla. “Priscilla told us that Elvis liked really burnt bacon.”“I ate a lot of bacon,” Elordi replied. “I averaged around a pound of bacon a day.

Meredith Woerner Deputy Editor, Variety.com What’s fact and what’s fiction in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla?” We fact-checked the film against the source material, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley’s memoir “Elvis and Me.” The new film, starring Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) and Jacob Elordi (Elvis Presley), was inspired by the 1985 book, which became a New York Times bestseller at its release. Everyone knew Elvis the legend, but his former wife Priscilla wanted to reveal Elvis the man.

Sofia Coppola‘s “Priscilla” hits theaters today amid a great deal of buzz, partially thanks to star Cailee Spaeny winning the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival for her title role. But not everyone was thrilled Coppolla announced plans to adapt Priscilla Presley‘s 1985 “Elvis And Me” for the big screen last year.
