Interstellar was originally intended to be directed by Steven Spielberg before Christopher Nolan took over the project.
Star Wars fans will search anywhere and everywhere for spoilers, even among things that exist specifically to avoid spoilers, like working titles. Famously, Return of the Jedi was filmed under the name 'Blue Harvest' to avoid undue attention, while Attack of the Clones was (ironically) called 'Jar-Jar's Great Adventure.'
Cinematography isn't about beautiful images. It's about producing a whole series of images that serve a story. If I come out of a premiere and somebody says, 'Oh, I love the shot when such and such ...' I know I've made a mistake.
Perhaps best known for taking over The Wheel of Time, Sanderson made his electric debut 21 years ago with. Now, more than two decades later, Sanderson's complex fantasy books, including the Mistborn series and The Stormlight Archive, are finally getting adapted for film and TV.

Maul is one of the most fascinating characters in the Star Wars universe. For the fans who only watch the movies, he's the Zabrak who was bisected in The Phantom Menace and then popped up in the post-credits scene of Solo.

This time, the drama steps beyond the fluorescent glow of Pierpoint's trading floor and into a broader, more unsettling social landscape. Whilst capitalism is, of course, still the driving force behind each storyline, season 4 is more attuned to the power structures that orbit it.

It's still sweaty-palm television, but with an even more sinister edge.
With only a few months left before release, we finally have a detailed trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the silver-screen spinoff of the show that launched Disney+. From the looks of it, it was worth the wait. There's something for every fan here: unmasked Din Djarin, Grogu being a scamp, an Ardennian shopkeeper almost certainly voiced by Martin Scorsese, and a Hutt speaking Basic.
