Jack Dunn While “Peaky Blinders” had its heyday on the small screen, series creator and writer Steven Knight says his feature adaptation belongs in movie theaters. “I really want the ‘Peaky’ fans who have been a big part of this to be watching it all together in one building,” Knight told The Playlist.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Mimi Cave was only in post-production on her debut feature — the 2022 horror film “Fresh,” with Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones — when she was approached about directing Nicole Kidman in “Holland,” a screenplay by Andrew Sodorski that had been bouncing around the industry since it first appeared on the Black List in 2013.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter If only Warner Bros. could reprint money in the way that scientists reprint Robert Pattinson’s body in “Mickey 17.” The goofy sci-fi comedy ignited to $24 million overseas and more than $50 million globally, a decent start for an original film in the current theatrical landscape. It just cost way too much to ever turn a profit in this lifetime.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “Mickey 17,” a dystopian sci-fi comedy starring a dozen Robert Pattinsons, was No. 1 at the domestic box office with $19.1 million from 3,807 theaters. But the Warner Bros.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Is there anything sadder than seeing a unicorn die? These majestic (imaginary) beasts represent the original endangered species — something innocent and pure that may once have existed, but certainly doesn’t today, from which we can conclude that they must have been snuffed out by mankind’s cruelty. Repeated across the centuries in art and lore, this painful sacrifice inevitably reveals something essential about human nature.

Selome Hailu Move over, Tom Cruise — there’s a new stuntman in town. Or rather, a new dancer. In “The Accountant 2,” Ben Affleck reprises the role of autistic criminal and math whiz Christian Wolff, and his performance in one particular scene made the Texan crowd at SXSW roar with laughter and applause.

Although sequels rarely surpass the original, Gavin O’Connor’s long-gestating The Accountant 2 is a pleasant surprise.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Al Pacino spent time with some old friends, attending a 50th anniversary screening of “Dog Day Afternoon” at the American Cinematheque‘s Aero Theatre — those friends being the other collaborators he misses from making the classic bank-robbery-gone-wrong drama a half-century ago. The avuncular Pacino also made a lot of new friends at the Aero, with Tuesday’s capacity crowd reveling not just in his tales of making “Dog Day Afternoon” but assorted takes on other aspects of his career.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Eviscerated bodies. Purple blood.

Emily Longeretta Michael Bay‘s “We Are Storror” begins with a warning on screen: “Don’t attempt anything you see here.” It’s safe to say the audience at SXSW, the first to see the documentary on a big screen on March 8, was extremely impressed and a little bit scared, but definitely not jumping to attempt any of the wild stunts front and center in the documentary, which follows parkour team Storror. Instead of wires, green screens and editing tricks that Bay fans are used to, this time, it’s all real.

Think Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets Arrival meets E.T. The Extra Terrestrial meets The Martian meets Gravity and you pretty much have the cinematic inspirations for the latest outer-space entry known simply as The Astronaut, although you have to hand it to debuting writer-director Jess Varley for adding a twist none of the above remotely thought of. Whether audiences will buy it is a larger question for this film, which is premiering at SXSW in the Narrative Spotlight section.

Murtada Elfadl “Queen of the Ring” starts in the middle of a wrestling match, as an athlete musters all their determination to take control of a pivotal career match-up. The film then goes into flashback to tell the story of said athlete, Mildred Burke (Emily Bett Rickards), a female pioneer in the male-dominated professional wrestling world. Writer and director Ash Avildsen tries to show Burke’s life as a historical epic of triumph and perseverance, but he neglects to infuse it with credible dialogue or stylistic specificity.

Thania Garcia Blackpink member Jennie played the first of her four “intense but intimate” concert dates at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday night, taking the stage at practically the moment her first full-length solo album, “Ruby,” was released. When the red curtains split, Jennie‘s vision became clear: a ballerina, nimble and delicate and draped in white, pranced across the stage, disappearing only when the K-pop superstar emerged, powerful and statuesque, in an oversized fur coat and baby blue stockings, to sing “Start a War,” a song about loving someone so ferociously that you’d go to war for them.

Pamela Anderson's team is reacting to claims Meghan Markle copied the actress with her new lifestyle show, "With Love, Meghan." Anderson released her own show, "Pamela's Cooking with Love," in February, while Markle's hit Netflix on March 4. Some claimed Markle's show seemingly matched the "Baywatch" star's, sometimes "frame-for-frame." However, Anderson's show co-creator did not seem to mind the accusations. "We take pride in planting the first seeds – creating original, distinctive programming that audiences love – and it’s a compliment to see our work with Ms.

James Acaster has spilled the tea on his Channel 4 show getting axed after a pilot nightmare.The beloved comedian was working on a new project for the network, but when things took a southward turn during the pilot's filming, it was all thumbs down on moving forward with a series.The 40-year-old funnyman, famed for his stints on Mock The Week and bagging a whopping five Chortle Awards, not to mention his Netflix special Repertoire and the hit podcast Off Menu he co-hosts with Ed Gamble, faced a rare hiccup. Opening up on the Always Be Comedy podcast, James didn't hold back as he said: "It was three hours of filming and I'd say everything went wrong that could have gone wrong.
