Image
  Fede Alvarez Addresses CGI Controversy in Alien: Romulus and Promises an Improved Home Release When Alien: Romulus hit theaters last summer, it reignited the legendary sci-fi horror franchise, unleashing a fresh Xenomorph rampage on the big screen.

However, one of the film’s most unexpected surprises sparked heated debate among fans: the introduction of the android Rook, portrayed using the likeness of the late Ian Holm, who originally played the sinister Ash in Alien .

Image
  Jason Statham Gears Up for Brutal Action in A Working Man In uncertain times, sometimes all you need is a glimpse of Jason Statham donning a hardhat and a no-nonsense scowl to feel like everything might just turn out alright. And that’s exactly what the first trailer for A Working Man delivers. Reuniting Statham with The Beekeeper director David Ayer, this action-packed thriller boasts a script co-written by Ayer alongside Sylvester Stallone. If this is indeed the second entry in what could be dubbed The Three (Blue) Collars Trilogy , it sees Statham take on the role of Levon Cade—an ex-black ops agent turned construction worker whose quiet life is shattered when his boss’s daughter is abducted.

  David Lynch on Playing John Ford in The Fabelmans : A Conversation For a young aspiring filmmaker, meeting a legend can be life-changing. At 15, Steven Spielberg found himself in the office of John Ford, where the gruff, no-nonsense director gave him a brutally honest lesson on framing shots—declaring that a horizon in the center of a frame is “boring as hell” before promptly dismissing him.
