With the one-two punch of Prisoners and Enemy, Denis Villeneuve (pictured above) delivered two of the most tense, visually engrossing thrillers in years, and there's no reason to suspect that the director's next project, drug runner drama Sicario, will break his winning streak. Lionsgate has set a September 18th limited release for the pic, with plans to expand into more theaters a week later.
When American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy announced plans to create a companion series centering on infamous crimes throughout national history, then revealed the title of the first season as American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson, we were all more than a little skeptical. Murphy is not known for his subtlety or grace, but the Simpson murder trial is a true story of murder and deceit, which impacted many people. Now, the more we hear about American Crime Story, the less it seems like it's going to be a respectful retelling of the trial - instead, it will veer closer to satire.
Grimy, sweaty, passionate, alive - James Marsh's exploration of the complex romance between future physicist Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) and Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones), the college girlfriend who would become his wife and supporter, flies in the face of expectation. Avoiding tropes of the biopic genre, The Theory of Everything is raw, emotional and at times so intimate in its portrayal of the Hawkings' most unusual marriage, and of Stephen's battle against motor neurone disease, that you feel as though you're intruding.
Whether the upcoming third season of Netflix's hit prison dramedy Orange is the New Black will be the show's biggest to date has yet to be seen, but we already know that it won't be the Biggs-iest (sorry). It has been confirmed that Jason Biggs' character Larry Bloom, once a major part of protagonist Piper Chapman's (Taylor Schilling) life before prison, will not be appearing in the next season of the series.
Oliver Stone has added three actors to the cast of his upcoming Edward Snowden film, simply titled Snowden, on the heels of Open Road Films dating the anticipated picture for a Christmas Day release.
Finally, the day we've all been waiting for has arrived. No, I'm not talking about any of that "Oscars" silliness, or Neil Patrick Harris taking on hosting duties. No, I'm talking about the 2015 Razzie Awards, in which all the crap of the crop from this past year in cinema at last gets its well-deserved comeuppance.
According to a complex analysis of this year's Oscar nominees and the past decade's winners by Senzari, a media-centric big-data company, the frontrunner to take Best Picture on Sunday isn't Boyhood or Birdman - the two films most expected to duke it out for the prize - but American Sniper.
FX's Justified is just weeks away from the finale of its sixth and final season, but star Timothy Olyphant doesn't need to worry about being out of work once it's curtains for the acclaimed drama. Deadline reveals that the actor is negotiating a deal to join Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley in Oliver Stone's Edward Snowden pic.
After a year in which protests dominated headlines and Selma became a Best Picture nominee, RadicalMedia has optioned Norman Mailer's historical, fact-based novel The Armies of the Night, about a 1960s anti-war march, for a big screen adaptation.
