Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

A new behind - the - scenes feature that premiered during last Nox ’s The terrific World of Disney : Magical Holiday Celebration on ABC admit a bunch of new looks at the movie , let in glimpse of what appeared to be a shot shared between Rey and Keri Russell ’s mystic contrabandist Zorii Bliss — but most interestingly , what looks like new footage of Warwick Davis suit up as Wicket the Ewok , potentially hinting that the furball will lend his spear to the forces of adept once more !

Meanwhile in conversation withEsquire , J.J. Abrams discussed how The Last Jedi “ might have even assist strengthen ” the theme and idea behind The Rise of Skywalker .

There were some alternative that made things a bit more fun for us , because , for example , Rian did n’t have the whole group collaborative dangerous undertaking of it together , and that was really fun to get to secern the floor of the group , the droids , out on one breakneck , gaga , desperate dangerous undertaking . You lie with ? The choices that he made for me were as a fan , as a lector of the script , a buff of his , a fan of Star Wars … it was just fun to read someone ’s take that was so about surprising the viewer and it was just really entertaining , because it was , it bring forth to surprise me nearly every clip . So , I loved it for that .

As a film maker , working on sequence IX , amazingly , nothing that he did in Last Jedi got in the fashion of things that we had spill about wanting to do down the line , ideas that I had about where thing might go , so … it was n’t like his taradiddle somehow derailed the thing I want to pursue . In fact , strangely , they might have even help tone them because we have to make some choices that sort of take reward of the fact that Rian had n’t done the thing that we were thinking about doing .

Lastly in the beetleweed far , far off , a new TV smear reprising “ Duel of the Fates ” sees Emperor Palpatine intone , “ this will be the final word in the news report of Skyyywalkaah ! ”

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Appearing as a client onBloody - Disgusting’sThe Boo Crewpodcast , Mike Flanagan revealed he ’s “ die ” to pitch a “ killer whale ” idea for a new Nightmare on Elm Street to Wes Craven ’s estate .

I come a killer idea . [ I ’m ] dying to get in there to pitch it . If I got to do this it would be so coolheaded .

Meander

Varietyhas our first prescribed spirit at Meander , Mathieu Turi ’s sci - fi thriller starring Viking ’ Gaia Weiss . basically Cube in a tube , the moving picture concerns a woman ( Weiss ) who “ heat up in a unknown metro full of virulent traps . Her only alternative is to keep move fore . But it is not clear how far she can get . ”

Black Widow

In a recent consultation withVanity Fair , Scarlett Johansson stated she did not want Black Widow to be either an origin report or an espionage story , but is beaming the pic explore themes of “ self - uncertainty and insecurity and shame and letdown and regret . ”

I did not want it to be an origin narration . I did not want it to be an espionage narration . I did n’t want it to sense trivial at all . I only want to do it if it actually fit where I was with that character . I had spend such a long fourth dimension strip down those layers away — I felt that unless we suffer to something inscrutable , then there was no reason to make it . Because I did my line in Endgame , and actually felt slaked with that . I would have been happy to have that be it . So there had to be a reason to do it other than just to milk something .

And so by elevating the musical style I mean I trust that it can be both volatile and dynamic and have all that great sport stuff and nonsense that goes with the genre , but I hope that we can also talk about , you know , ego - question and insecurity and shame and dashing hopes and ruefulness and all that stuff too . It has many different thing , it ’s not just that . But there ’s a mickle of abstruse stuff , I think , that drives it .

Black Christmas

Director Sophia Takal talk over her take on the new Black Christmas in a recent interview withEntertainment Weekly .

You lie with , this movie , even though it ’s very , very broadly based on Black Christmas , I ’d say the plot is extremely dissimilar . It ’s more inspired by the touch that Black Christmas made me find watch it , this idea of misogyny always being out there and never totally eradicable . So that was the jumping - off stop for how I came up with this patch .

The original Black Christmas feel so contemporary and modern for the prison term . Since then I finger like there have been so many movies about sorority sister where the womanhood have been portrayed as dumb , bimbo - y idiot . What I have it off was this was a mathematical group of women who , even though there was some fight and strife — you know , Margot Kidder was a real spitfire [ laugh ] — they were all very much three - dimensional , strong female characters . I wanted to make something that shine our meter right now , pull back more from what the original evoked for me rather than great plot points . For me , it was about what does it sense like to be a cleaning lady in 2019 ?

[ At ] the beginning of the # MeToo Movement , it seemed like there was a really big reckoning , especially in the pic industriousness , but in raft of industries , where powerful men were being call out for their predatory behaviour . And then , in early 2019 , I sort of find , and I know a lot of adult female who I know felt , the creeping back of these predaceous men into positions of powerfulness and this feeling of like , “ Oh , even when you ’ve won the battle you still have to combat this patriarchal structure . ” It seemed like everyone , the man and the women involved in the movie , on screen and off , were all really committed to exploring that feeling and were really interested in cause a moving-picture show about that .
