How Tom Hanks Became The Everyman Version Of Daniel Day-Lewis The two major differences betweenTom Hanksand Daniel Day-Lewis are their approaches to craft and how they answer questions on press tours. Everything else is window dressing. Both are fierce, profoundly gifted actors. Both are deep wells of creativity. Yet even though each actor is equally at home in torturous dramas and whimsical romps, we never think of them in the same breath....

Lin-Manuel Miranda Isn’t Saying No, No, No To An Encanto Sequel Disney’s animated film “Encanto” debuted to critical acclaim and, for a pandemic-era release, solid box office numbers upon its theatrical opening in late November 2021. A month later, however, it exploded in popularity upon premiering on Disney+, with Lin-Manuel Miranda’s song"We Don’t Talk About Bruno"sky-rocketing its way up the Billboard 200 charts. The “Hamilton” mastermind is now on the verge of earning the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) distinction at the 94th annual Academy Awards ceremony, where the tune"Dos Oruguitas"is up for the Best Original Song Oscar, with Germaine Franco also in the running for Best Original Score and the movie itself in contention for Best Animated Feature Film....

Lionsgate Wants ‘The Odyssey’ To Be Multiple Films In an unprecedented move, a movie studio has decided that an adaptation of a well-known story will be broken up into several movies, rather than done as a single film. That’s a joke, of course. The way things are now, it would be more surprising to hear of one film being developed. In this case, the subject isThe Odyssey, whichThe Hunger GamesdirectorFrancis Lawrenceand producerNina Jacobsonare developing for Lionsgate....

Listen: A Classic ‘Star Wars’ Song Was Remixed For The Galaxy’s Edge Soundtrack If I were to ask you to tell me the first piece of music you think of when you think aboutStar Wars, there may be a half a dozen John Williams cues that would be fighting for the top spot.

Monsterverse Writer Max Borenstein Wants A Godzilla And Kong Movie Without Any Pesky Humans Humans are, more often than not, worthless inGodzillaandKingKongmovies. And their worthlessness is often the point. The real leads are the monsters, not the actors along for the destructive ride. The most recent addition to Legendary’s ongoing “Monsterverse,“Godzilla vs. Kong,showed the most self-awareness in that regard – the beasts were the actual stars of the film. So naturally, the co-writer behind 2014’sGodzilla,Godzilla: King of the Monsters,Kong: Skull Island, andGodzilla vs....
