Rian Johnson‘s Knives Out is a deliciously twisted whodunit murder mystery in the same vein of an Agatha Christie novel, but with a modern touch. Though it does rely on many of those Christie tropes of a detective warning the audience about foul play, marking everyone as a suspect, and deliberately setting up all of the clues in plain sight. And true to form, though the film holds the audience’s attention by giving them a well-crafted intrigue that is set up by Johnson, the political subtext allows it to be much more than just a simple murder mystery. And it is able to stay constantly entertaining as it is full of unlikeable and very suspect characters, who are wonderfully played by an all-star cast, that not only keeps things funny, but will also have us guessing until the very end. My full review below.

A new trailer for Brick, Looper, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson‘s next feature Knives Out has been released by Lionsgate.

Johnson’s latest is a murder mystery inspired by the works of Agatha Christie which stars Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Daniel Craig, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Toni Collette, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Noah Segan, Edi Patterson, Riki Lindhome, and Christopher Plummer.

Lionsgate has released an official trailer for Knives Out, the latest from Brick, Looper, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer and director Rian Johnson. The movie is a modern-day murder mystery, which is inspired by the works of Agatha Christie.

Johnson put together an impressive cast for the movie, with Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Daniel Craig, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Toni Collette, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Noah Segan, Edi Patterson, Riki Lindhome, and Christopher Plummer all starring.

You can find the trailer for Knives Out below, along with a synopsis, poster, and more.

Rian Johnson‘s latest feature Knives Out will be his follow-up directorial effort after Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Daniel Craig was one of the first to join the film, which is being described as a mystery thriller. That was followed up with Chris Evans, Lakeith Stanfield, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Ana de Armas joining the cast.

Now you can add another actress to the cast. And this one has had a few run-ins with knife-wielding people herself. New reports say Jamie Lee Curtis has joined the cast. More on the report below.

Michael B. Jordan is a bit of a hot head, but not in that kind of way. Having already played characters who could spontaneously combust or just wanted to see traditions being burned, the actor will be taking his pyromania to a more serious film.

In HBO’s Fahrenheit 451, based on the Ray Bradbury novel of the same name, Jordan plays Guy Montag, a fireman who is tasked with burning books and anything resembling a written work. But Montag is beginning to have some serious doubts about the work he is doing and questions his existence. He’ll be joined by Michael Shannon, who plays fire captain Beatty, the leader of the troop that burns the books and the buildings they are held in. A new teaser trailer for the film has been released, and can be found below.

HBO released the first teaser trailer for their adaptation of the Ray Bradbury classic Fahrenheit 451 recently, and announced that it will premiere sometime this spring.

The movie stars Michael B. Jordan, Michael Shannon, Sofia Boutella, and Lilly Singh, and is directed by Ramin Bahrani, from a screenplay penned by Bahrani and Amir Naderi.

You know pretty much when walking into a Guillermo del Toro movie that you’re in for a visual masterclass in filmmaking. Even the films of his I didn’t love (Hellboy 1 & 2, Crimson Peak) were beautiful to watch. But the films where he matches the visuals and production design with tour de force acting and writing become classics. Pan’s Labyrinth is one of most incredible films I have ever watched and The Shape of Water echoed it, exchanging the Spanish Civil War for The Cold War, and switching the lead protagonist from a young girl to an adult woman. It is beautiful, not just in imagery, but in characters. Like Pan’s, there’s a psychotic and powerful antagonist and an epic performance by the “Master of Disguise,” Doug Jones, this time as the “Amphibian Man.”

A native of Guadalajara, Mexico, Guillermo del Toro was fascinated as a child by fairy tales, ghost stories, and monster movies that ignited his imagination and compelled him to tell his own stories. When he started writing and directing films, those influences laid the foundation for del Toro’s uniquely expressive approach to genre filmmaking – a return to the dark romanticism of Universal horror films like 1931’s Frankenstein and Dracula.

Best known for his three Spanish-language films that upend conventional genre storytelling, Cronos, The Devil’s Backbone, and Pan’s Labyrinth, del Toro weaves vivid phantasmagorias that capture the beauty and the horror of the human experience. His supernatural epics are equally as inventive, from Blade II and the Hellboy series, to Pacific Rim and his gothic romance, Crimson Peak. His new film, The Shape of Water, is the culmination of del Toro’s career thus far – the summation of everything the filmmaker has learned, refined and perfected.

Fox Searchlight has released a collection of new TV spots for The Shape of Water, the latest movie from Pan’s Labyrinth and Crimson Peak director Guillermo del Toro.

The new TV spots have been dubbed “Tale of Love,” “Magnificent Review,” “Alive,” “Human,” and “Ticking Thriller,” and they all feature various shots from the movie with most of them also featuring accolades from reviews of the film that have been published.
