Someone standing outside a film set in British Columbia this week watched Kaitlyn Dever do the same thing seven times. That someone posted the video to X. Now the internet is fairly confident it knows exactly which moment from “The Last of Us Part II” is being adapted — and it’s one of the game’s most consequential turning points. New set footage, shared by the account CaptCanuck66 and first picked up by ScreenRant, shows Dever’s Abby alongside a vehicle that has clearly just been run off the road, surrounded by what appears to be chaos, with her stunt double cycling…

Greta Gerwig has a story. She’s not telling anyone what it is. Not until Warner Bros. pays up — and the clock is ticking louder than anyone at the studio would like. The New York Times broke the situation Thursday: Warner Bros. is reportedly working toward reaching agreements with Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling before its December deadline to move a “Barbie” sequel forward. If no agreements are in place by then, the rights to the property revert to Mattel, and Warner Bros. would have to start from scratch — no cast, no story elements, nothing from the…

David Robert Mitchell has spent his career making films about ordinary places turned hostile. “It Follows” turned suburban Detroit into a slow-motion nightmare. “Under the Silver Lake” made Los Angeles feel like a conspiracy. His new film does both at once — and adds dinosaurs. “The End of Oak Street” opens in theaters and IMAX on August 14, Warner Bros. confirmed, with international audiences getting it two days earlier on August 12. It’s Mitchell’s biggest production by a wide margin — $85 million, Bad Robot producing, Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway starring — and the first time the director has…

Seven years. Three directors. Two strikes. One voice cameo in “Eternals.” That’s the entire visible legacy of Marvel Studios’ “Blade” reboot starring Mahershala Ali — and Thursday, Ali finally said what everyone had long suspected. “If they wanted to do it, we would’ve done it,” Ali told GQ in an interview promoting his new action thriller “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.” “So I have to move on, and I have moved on.” He didn’t stop there. According to him, his contract was never the obstacle, saying the studio had more than enough money to make the project happen if…

Freddy Krueger hasn’t been in a movie since 2010. Now he might be in two of them at once — and they’d come from competing studios racing each other to Elm Street. Puck News reported Thursday night that Warner Bros. is actively developing its own “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake, with “Evil Dead Rise” director Lee Cronin in talks to write, direct, and produce the project. The move comes just weeks after Paramount announced its own Elm Street revival through its new genre label, Paramount Primal, in partnership with the Wes Craven estate. Two studios, one franchise, and a…

This article contains full spoilers for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” including its ending and post-credits scene. “Spider-Man Will Return.” Those four words appear at the very end of the credits, styled like a vintage James Bond sign-off, and they carry more weight than they might look like at first glance. Tom Holland isn’t confirmed for “Avengers: Doomsday.” His name doesn’t appear on the sprawling cast list. So where exactly is Peter Parker going — and when? The film includes just one post-credits sequence, placed at the end of the closing credits instead of midway through, and it doesn’t feature any…

Deadline broke it Thursday morning, and the casting agents of the internet spent the rest of the day processing: Samara Weaving is Emma Frost. Marvel Studios’ “X-Men” reboot has found its White Queen. Director Jake Schreier and studio president Kevin Feige spent the better part of the summer meeting with candidates before settling on Weaving earlier this week, The Playlist confirmed, calling the search for Emma Frost “particularly exhaustive.” A source told Deadline that Weaving’s audition was simply too hard to beat — and the decision came down fast once the two of them aligned on their choice. The timing…

Thirty-one years ago, Cher Horowitz walked into a closet that organized her outfits by computer and a generation of teenagers decided that was the most aspirational thing they’d ever seen. Now she’s back — and this time she has a teenager of her own. Paramount+ greenlighted a six-episode sequel series to “Clueless” on Thursday, with Alicia Silverstone returning as Cher and executive producing alongside original writer-director Amy Heckerling and producer Robert Lawrence, Variety confirmed. The show picks up 30 years after the film, with Cher running a successful business and navigating motherhood — until her own daughter hits high school…

Alexander Skarsgård has been asked in interviews what drew him to this particular role. “Most male actors dream of playing Hamlet at some point in their career,” he told Entertainment Weekly this week. The trailer’s bizarre line about “wicker nipples” serves as an early indication of the film’s offbeat, anything-goes comedic approach. Black Bear dropped the first official trailer for the film Wednesday, and it’s as strange and funny as the premise deserves. Olivia Colman plays a fisherwoman living in a medieval-ish village who has grown tired of being mocked for her unmarried status — and her reportedly persistent smell…

The year is 1858. Winifred Notty has arrived at Ensor House to teach the children, maintain her composure, and — if things go according to plan — not kill anyone. Things rarely go according to plan. Bleecker Street dropped the full official trailer for “Victorian Psycho” on Wednesday, and it lands like a comedic blackout poem written in blood. Set in a remote gothic Yorkshire manor, the film follows Winifred — played by Maika Monroe — as she dutifully tutors her charges, tells them bedtime stories, and “only jokes about eating children.” Staff start disappearing. The owners of the estate,…
