One way to watch the season premiere is through Hulu + Live TV, which offers a free seven-day trial. But if waiting until Sunday isn’t a problem, you can stream “Saturday Night Live” with a regular subscription that morning, usually around 9 a.m. ET. And since this is an NBC show, you can also watch “Saturday Night Live” via a Peacock Premium subscription, which allows you to stream the show live on Saturday night....

Ahead of the film’s re-release and December’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” sequel, Cameron spoke to the New York Times about the occasionally contentious process of editing “Avatar.” “I think I felt, at the time, that we clashed over certain things,” Cameron said. “For example, the studio felt that the film should be shorter and that there was too much flying around on the ikran—what the humans call the banshees....
The move was part of a strategic shift that will see Warner Bros. moving away from expensive DC streaming content, preferring to use its comic book intellectual property to make theatrical films. But many noted that the some of the most promising Warner Bros. superhero projects in recent years have been developed for HBO Max. The studio’s attempt to establish a big screen cinematic universe for its DC characters has gotten off to several rocky starts, but James Gunn’s “Peacemaker” was a critical darling, with several planned spin-offs in development....
“It was a cool movie. You know what they need to do? They need to make the four-to-six hour version of the first half,” Momoa said. “It’s like, ‘Let’s watch the four-to-five-hour movie like a TV show; I can choose when I want to watch the whole thing.’ I want to see Denis’s whole vision. I don’t want it to be trimmed.” Just how much footage was cut from the “Dune” assembly cut to the theatrical cut remains to be seen....
“I remember having a conversation with Phil Hoffman when he was getting ready to do ‘The Master,’” Strong told The Playlist this week in an interview. “And I started going on and on about L. Ron Hubbard. And eventually [Hoffman] was like, ‘No. You’re doing work as an actor to find an essence in yourself. You’re not trying to play, you’re not doing an impersonation.’” Hoffman was something of an expert of playing real-life people by the time he was prepping for his role as religious cult leader Lancaster Dodd in “The Master,” as he had won the Oscar for Best Actor with his performance as author Truman Capote in Bennett Miller’s 2005 drama “Capote....
“I had a relationship with Bradford,” said King. “So I would be working with one of the greatest cinematographers in the world, but also someone who was my friend. We were out to everybody, just trying to find a good replacement.” What eased the sting? King’s agent told him Sean Bobbitt loved the script. “I’d never met Sean,” said King, who was surprised to have lured the DP. “But I knew [his] work....
Would she do another “Alien” film? “In a heartbeat. I loved working with Ridley and I loved playing that part. I hope we can! I would love it! I hope she’s still alive!” Waterston said. (At the end of “Covenant,” Waterston’s character is in stasis, trapped and asleep in an escape pod after being lured by Michael Fassbender’s David.) Unfortunately, Ridley Scott said recently in an interview with Forbes that he’s unlikely to revisit the world set up by 2012’s “Prometheus” as well as “Alien: Covenant....
Durst continues to show the space to prospective tenants. Said spokesman Jordan Barowitz, “We are still showing the space — minus the stuff they stole.” On July 7, Durst entered a request for summary judgment in its suit against Landmark holding company Silver Cinemas Acquisition. Summary judgment means a party to the case asks that the facts they claim be adjudicated without a trial. Landmark announced it would permanently close the three-year-old theater after it couldn’t come to terms with Durst on renegotiating their 30-year lease....
On paper, that might sound like a morbid and/or cynical exercise in mining public content from private loss. On screen, however, Timoner’s warm, open, and unexpectedly gentle “Last Flight Home” rescues a rare grace from the inherent performativity of saying goodbye. The director’s camera encourages her family to make themselves vulnerable and meet the moment head-on, while legal euthanasia offers them enough control over the timeline to let go of their precious Eli with love in both hands....
During Michele’s ongoing concert series “An Evening with Lea Michele: Life in Music” tour, Michele recently performed the song she had chosen to remember Monteith with: Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love.” Michele sang the ballad for the first time since 2013, performing it on July 20 to an audience at City Winery in Washington, D.C. While it was “wild and hard” to perform the track, Michele shared that “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy asked her to choose a song for her character Rachel to sing to honor Finn (Monteith) in the tribute episode....
Fresh off the nomination announcement, the actor spoke to IndieWire through a translator about Season 2, global stardom, and who he wants to meet at the Emmys. IndieWire: You’ve just been nominated for your first Emmy. How do you feel? Lee Jung-jae: [I] have to say that something unbelievable has happened once again, to me and to the “Squid Game” team. I mean, 14 nominations! I’m just so grateful and I feel that I’m really blessed....
Per THR, “The studio has spent the last six months meeting with writers in what was described as a meticulous search, with Ali directly involved. Only Black writers were seriously considered, a reflection of Marvel’s focus on diversity and making representation a key factor — especially when tackling nonwhite characters.” Ali, a two-time Oscar winner for both “Moonlight” and “Green Book,” is attached to star as the Marvel hero previously played by Wesley Snipes in the Marvel Comics franchise in films released in 1998, 2002, and 2004....
“I thought this was going to happen,” he said in a voice memo on Thursday shortly after he was informed of the decision. “It’s just their attempt to intimidate us. The more noise we make, the less successful that plan will be.” A spokesperson for the BFI London Film Festival told IndieWire that the festival was aware of the situation. “We understand that no reason has been given to Mani Haghighi for the confiscation,” the spokesperson said....
Here’s the official synopsis courtesy of Bleecker Street: “Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents (Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton, Reed Birney and Ann Dowd) agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. In Fran Kranz’ writing and directing debut, he thoughtfully examines their journey of grief, anger and acceptance by coming face-to-face with the ones who have been left behind.”...
Watching two larger-than-life characters destroy the better part of Hong Kong is a different experience at home than in full IMAX glory, but if nothing else, the nuances — or lack thereof — in the MonsterVerse gave us more insight into why not every film franchise is destined for a TV adaptation, as well as why the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a better shot at successful expansion than most. In the case of “Godzilla vs....
After struggling to move forward with several projects as her follow-up feature to 2014’s “The Sleepwalker,” Norway-born Fastvold fell in love with someone else’s story instead. She usually writes movies for herself and her creative and life partner Brady Corbet (“Vox Lux,” “The Childhood of a Leader”) as well as other filmmakers (“The Mustang” and Antonio Campos’ “Homemade” episode). As Fastvold worried about how to make the story her own, one image kept haunting her: a woman with a rope tied around her waist, disappearing in a snowstorm to rescue her husband....
The “Monster Hunter” franchise, which might be helpful for neophytes to think of as the Pepsi to Pokémon’s Coke, has always stood out for its high fantasy trappings, and boy oh boy does Anderson embrace those in a big way right out of the gate. We open on a hilariously self-important quote about “new worlds” that are hidden “behind the perception of our senses” as Paul Haslinger’s glitch-pop score blares in the background, and that’s an excellent start....
The original starts with the sound of a man yelling “MORTAL KOMMBBATTTT!!!” at the top of his lungs as a glitchy rave-core anthem called “Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat)” freaks over a flaming credit sequence. From there, the title screen cools into a goofy prologue full of canted angles in which evil warlock Shang Tsung (played by human cut-scene Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) breaks some poor kid’s spine and then snarls “your brother’s soul is mine!...
