A play that offers an audaciously Shakespearean take on recent and future U.S. politics is running at London's Old Vic theater.

Jane Campion has won the best director Oscar for “The Power of the Dog.”.

A slate of pieces about some of this year’s nominated films and the artists behind them.

This year's crop of nominees is a celebration of diversity, and audiences are likely to see a number of records broken during the 2022 ceremony.

The Academy Awards have always loved a comeback story.

What's going to win best picture at the 94th Academy Awards.

Sci-fi epic “Dune” has won five prizes and dark Western “The Power of the Dog” has been named best film at the British Academy Film Awards.

In an upset, the deaf family drama “CODA” has won top honors at a very unpredictable 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards that also saw wins for the leads of “Squid Game,” the cast of “Ted Lasso” and Will Smith.

Hollywood’s Super Bowl weekend largely fizzled with the muted debut of Kenneth Branagh’s long-delayed Agatha Christie whodunit, “Death on the Nile,” a tepid reception for the Jennifer Lopez romantic-comedy “Marry Me” and modest box-office bumps for Oscar nominees.

The Dame has the chance to make history yet again by becoming the oldest Academy Award winner ever in an acting category.

This year's Oscar nominations brought double acknowledgment for two sets of couples.

Kirsten Dunst says earning an Oscar nomination along with her fiancé Jesse Plemons is like a “fairy tale.”.

Jane Campion’s gothic western “The Power of the Dog” leads all nominees for this year's Oscars, where streaming services more than ever before swept over Hollywood’s top honors.

It’s time again to celebrate Hollywood’s grandest ambitions and most daring risk takers.

20th Century StudiosIf Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express felt a little queasy to watch thanks to Johnny Depp, the director’s follow-up, Death on the Nile, seems downright noxious. The second of Branagh’s Agatha Christie adaptations, the film stars a who’s-who of embattled celebrities—a collection of scandals that threatens to overshadow the handily executed (if somewhat predictable) Hercule Poirot murder mystery. But in contrast to films like Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelw

Sci-fi epic blockbuster “Dune” and Jane Campion’s dark Western “The Power Of The Dog” lead the nominations for this year’s British Academy Film Awards, with Benedict Cumberbatch, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga among those up for acting awards.

AccuWeather's Mark Mancuso has the latest forecast for Wild Card Weekend, with conditions from Dallas to Buffalo.

Even though NBC dropped the 2022 Golden Globe Awards, the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association proceeded with its 79th edition Sunday night without a telecast, nominees, a red carpet, a host, press or even a livestream.

The American Film Institute lined up behind many of the year’s end-of-year Oscar contenders, naming Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” and Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up” among the year’s 10 best films.

Thanksgiving weekend moviegoing was still far from the feast it normally is, but Disney’s “Encanto” and the Lady Gaga-led “House of Gucci” both gave a lift to two genres that have been particularly battered by the pandemic: family movies and adult dramas.

The greatest threat to this film comes not from the stink of sectarian conflict but from the aroma of sweetness.

Disney and Marvel’s “Eternals” fell 61% in its second weekend in theaters, but it’s still hanging on to first place ahead of newcomers like “Clifford the Big Red Dog.”.

In Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast,” a black-and-white, heartfelt memory piece told largely from the perspective of the filmmaker as a boy, the tension outside on the streets weighs on a young family.

The director’s latest film captures a young boy’s perspective faithfully—maybe too faithfully.

The Toronto International Film Festival is uniquely reliant on crowds, which has made its 2021 edition particularly challenging during the pandemic.

Movies from 77 countries will screen at the 2021 London Film Festival, as Britain’s leading cinema showcase welcomes mass audiences back to movie theaters after a pandemic-disrupted year.

The adaptation of the Broadway hit and Tony-winner “Dear Evan Hansen,” Edgar Wright’s ’60s London themed “Last Night in Soho,” and “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” are just a few of the major films coming to the Toronto International Film Festival this September.

The Toronto International Film Festival is planning an extensive in-person festival in September, a year after turning to virtual red carpets and outdoor screenings because of the pandemic.

NEW YORK – The Walt Disney Co. has further postponed its next mega-movies from Marvel, including “Black Widow,” while also postponing Steven Spielberg's “West Side Story” a full year in the company's latest recalibration due to the pandemic. The Scarlett Johansson Marvel movie “Black Widow,” last set for Nov. 6, heads to May 7 of next year. That was the date set for “West Side Story,” but Spielberg's musical will instead debut in December 2021. Given the interconnected nature of Marvel releases, the latest delay of “Black Widow” had a domino effect on other films. Since the pandemic began, the company's “Mulan,” “Hamilton” and “Artemis Fowl” have gone direct to streaming, with “Mulan” made available for a $30 premium purchase by subscribers.

"I have the luxury of being in this job that involves the allowance of my passion and enthusiasm," Branagh told me, humbly, in a recent call from Los Angeles. Branagh especially needed passion and enthusiasm in bringing Chris Weitz's script to life for "Cinderella," mainly for the fact that there were so many potential downfalls associated with the project. People have expectations, but I've done a lot of work in the classical field with masterpieces and universally-known things," Branagh said. Also, Branagh added, Cinderella asks questions -- particularly of the evil person who is trying to keep her down. she asks the stepmother, and I think Cinderella's apparently simplistic path through this story is an inspiring one and triumphant," Branagh said.

Sneak peek of Disney's live action "Cinderella" Kenneth Branagh is in the director's chair for the live-action adaptation of "Cinderella." The story stays true to Disney's 1950 animated version. But, as Suzanne Marques reports –the fairy tale is getting a modern makeover.
