Behind The Scenes Of Marvel’s ‘Big, Cosmic, Crazy Movie’ Eternals
The Eternals’ costumes take inspiration from creator Jack Kirby. When it came to designing the suits for Eternals, Marvel was against the idea of creating a central uniform; with such a large team, donning matching suits could cause them to all blur together. “They had to be individual characters,” Costume Effects Supervisor Ivo Coveney said. “It wasn’t like we were making an X-Men suit that everyone was [wearing], but it was trying to make sure that, when you looked at them, they looked like they were from the same place.” It proved to be a fascinating challenge to unite the characters under a similar style, yet also individualize them. In addition to giving each character a representative color, the costume team divided the Eternals into two categories: fighters and thinkers. “Five...

Skylar Grey Taps Eminem for ‘Venom’ End-Theme ‘Last One Standing’: Listen
On it, she sings: “Now you see me standin’ in the lights/ But you never saw my sacrifice/ Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive/Had to lose it all to win the fight/ I had to fall so many times/ Oh, now I’m the last one standin’.” “Last One Standing” also features Eminem, who cut the title track for the first in the Venom franchise, as well as Mozzy and Polo G. “The way this song came together was kind of the perfect storm,” she comments. Venom is one of my favorite superheroes because he’s an antihero and I relate to that. Also Tom Hardy is one of my favorite actors. So I’m honored to be a part of this.” The new track isn’t Skylar’s first foray into comic book spinoffs. Her single “Everything I Need” soundtracked the credits of Aquaman along with writing tw...
‘The Bodyguard’ Remake Writer Says Whitney Houston’s Role Will Now Be Latina
The remake of the 1992 romantic thriller The Bodyguard, which originally starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, will feature a brand-new storyline about an overnight Latina sensation, according to the new film’s screenwriter. Matthew López, the Tony Award-winning playwright of The Inheritance who will be writing the new film, told Variety in an interview published Tuesday (Sept. 28) that he wants a Latina to front the project. Unlike Houston, who portrayed Oscar-nominated actress and high-profile singer Rachel Marron dodging death threats and a stalker in the film, the new female lead of The Bodyguard will play an up-and-coming singer who realizes how much she needs protection after growing into her fame. “It’s so much fun. When Warner Bro...
20 Years Later, Zoolander‘s Satirical Style Is Right On Time
By Sara Radin “Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty,” famed male model Derek Zoolander says from a television screen, dressed as a mermaid. The audience sees the commercial at exactly the right moment: Derek has just returned home after quitting modeling. He wants to prove to his dad and brothers he, too, can work in the coal mine despite being completely clueless and lacking any sort of physical endurance. For the occasion, Derek shows up at the small-town bar in a head-to-toe python outfit (matching suitcase included). The irony and juxtaposition of his look against the rough vibe of the mining town are exactly what makes Zoolander — a 2001 movie about a washed-up supermodel who is brainwashed into killing the prime minister of Malaysia, wh...
Licorice Pizza Sounds Gross, But The Movie Starring Alana Haim Looks Great
In 2016, Haim began a fruitful partnership with acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, beginning with a live in-studio video for their song “Right Now” that was released the following year. In the months that followed, Anderson directed several Haim projects, including the wonderfully choreographed “Little of Your Love” music video, a live performance of “Night So Long” filmed at Los Angeles’s Greek Theatre, and a short documentary about the making of their second album, Something to Tell You, called Valentine. This partnership was great, and sisters Danielle, Este, and Alana continued it by having Anderson helm stunning visuals for their 2020 album, Women in Music Pt. III, as well. Thankfully, this collaboration has shown no signs of stopping, ...
A Teen Wolf Movie Is Coming To Paramount+
It is the four-year anniversary of the Teen Wolf series finale; never forget the pack walking off into the rain.

How Amandla Stenberg’s Dear Evan Hansen Song Became A Sparkling SZA Slow Jam
By Yasmine Shemesh About midway through Dear Evan Hansen, the film adaptation of the Tony-winning musical of the same name, Evan and his classmate, Alana, are sitting on swings in the park. Alana — from the outside, a cheerful overachiever involved in almost every extracurricular club at their high school — confides in Evan that she’s struggling, too. Like Evan, she is living with anxiety and depression. Like Evan, she is on medication for it. And like Evan, she feels alone and invisible. Over raw guitar strums, Alana sings softly, carefully, at first. “Do you ever look at all the people who seem to know exactly how to be? You think, they don’t need piles of prescriptions to function naturally.” She laughs nervously. The song, “The Anonymous Ones,” begins to swell into a triumphant de...
Twitter & Bobby Brown Agree: ‘The Bodyguard’ Remake Is The Bad Movie Idea Nobody Asked For
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Legato / Getty A lot of people are done with all the remakes. Even the news of Bel-Air, the dramatic remake of the ’90s sitcom favorite, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, has probably been met with just as much scorn as it has anticipation. It’s like every day there’s news of a new movie or TV show that has literally been done before, and often it’s the kind of timeless classic that leaves plenty of detractors expressing the same sentiment: Just leave it alone. Also, some of these remake and reboot ideas are just bad. According to TMZ, Tony-nominated playwright Matthew Lopez is reported to have been tapped to direct a remake of the classic 1992 romance drama, The Bodyguard, which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner and gifted the world with W...
Max Harwood Is A Hit (And You Don’t Even Know It)
By Alex Gonzalez In the new movie-musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, 16-year-old Jamie New dreams of a lifelong career as a drag queen. While he’s not sure of his post-school path, he knows his journey will be fierce and sensational. That could likewise describe the path of star Max Harwood, who responded to an online casting call for the role of Jamie on his own (he didn’t have an agent at the time). To prepare for the role, he familiarized himself with the real-life story of Jamie Campbell, on whom the film and its original stage adaptation are based. “I watched the documentary [Jamie: Drag Queen at 16] and throughout my audition process, I was making the decision to anchor my performance in his essence and energy,” Harwood tells MTV News. That energy is on full display in the film...
