The Stranger Things season 4 cast is ever-expanding, and it features a staggering number of new and recurring characters. The Duffer brothers' true genius lies in their ability to continually expand the number of characters in Stranger Things, somehow without compromising the narrative momentum at all. To be fair, Stranger Things season 4 was helped by extended episode lengths — episode 9 was 2 hours 30 minutes — making it the equivalent of an entire movie. But balancing all these characters and storylines was still an accomplishment nonetheless.
Even the Hawkins' teenagers have grown in number; Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas have been joined by Max, Eddie, and Lucas' little sister Erica, who have become firm fan favorites. The Stranger Things season 4 cast introduced even more new characters, however, simply because it spanned the globe, with Joyce and Murray freeing Hopper from Russia. With so many Stranger Things characters in play, viewers can be forgiven for...

Shooting on Netflix’s “The Decameron” has kicked off at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, where the lavish period soap will be based for the next six months.
The U.S. show, which is being made entirely in Italy, marks one of the biggest international productions lured by the storied studios in recent years.
Hailing from executive producer Jenji Kohan and creator/showrunner Kathleen Jordan (“Teenage Bounty Hunters”), the eight-episode drama takes place in 1348, as the Black Death pandemic strikes hard in the city of Florence. A handful of nobles are invited to retreat with their servants to a grand villa in the Italian countryside and wait out the pestilence with a lavish holiday. But as social rules wear thin, what starts as a wine-soaked sex romp in the hills of Tuscany descends into an all out scramble for survival.

When conversations about violence in the filmography of the great Martin Scorsese take place, his adaptation of the Edith Wharton Novel, The Age of Innocence, is the last piece that would ever come to mind. One would easily surmise that his mob flicks such as Mean Streets, Goodfellas, or Casino would be the center of the discussion, but they would be gravely mistaken. This seemingly bland story of individuals placed up high in the totem poles of New York society represents true pain, the devastation of which is insurmountable compared to mere guns and ammunition. Here, the agony is emotional, like a knife slowly piercing through the body until flesh is met with the hilt of the blade. As the film would eventually show, a setting where a miniscule mistake in refinement is heavily frowned upon would incur catastrophic consequences if one wants to go against the grain.

Science fiction writer Philip K. Dick wrote numerous novels and short stories that question the nature of reality and human perception by focusing on characters in capitalistic, dystopian futures. His 1968 novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is one of those works — it follows a bounty hunter named Rick Deckard who is assigned to "retire" six androids who escaped to off-world colonies. Ridley Scott eventually adapted this novel for the big screen with 1982's "Blade Runner," which retained some of the book's themes despite veering away from much of the plot in Dick's original work.
The book-to-screen journey for "Electric Sheep" was a long one, laden with studio refusals and rotating scripts because the book's premise was either heavily altered or too ambitious to be realized on screen. Scott also wasn't the only filmmaker who tried to adapt the story — years before his efforts, a young Martin Scorsese was heavily interested in optioning Dick's novel.

Martin Scorsese is a film legend. The director has won nearly every major accolade, including an Academy Award and multiple Emmy Awards, British Academy Film Awards, and Directors Guild Awards. His movies have ranged from the groundbreaking crime films Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and The Wolf of Wall Street to religious explorations The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence to period romance The Age of Innocence. Nobody would ever question Scorsese’s reputation. Unless they are on the internet.
In recent years, the director has become a target for insecure superhero movie fans, after he compared the genre to “theme park rides” instead of cinema. While these fans and their army of twitter bots have done nothing to diminish Scorsese’s reputation, a new challenger has entered the arena of public opinion: a casket salesperson.

It's been 25 years since Martin Scorsese made "Kundun" and inspired an almighty political battle between Disney and the Communist government of China, and it's time one of his most underseen films got its due.
'Tis the season for Martin Scorsese Discourse. Well, in fairness, it feels like the endless, frequently bad-faith conversations surrounding one of our greatest living filmmakers has become a year-round event. Ever since Scorsese made his nuanced and perfectly reasonable comments about Marvel Studios and the creative curiosities of their cinematic output, poor Marty has been subjected to all manner of Film Twitter nonsense. It's baffling that one of the art form's most ardent champions, arguably the most cine-literate person in the industry, has been positioned as some kind of gatekeeping bully against the scrappy underdog that brought us the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. It's all very silly, of course, but also deeply ignorant of Scorsese's own work.

Morbius might not have been the critical delight and audience pleaser that Sony was hoping for, but it received an overwhelmingly positive review from Martin Scorsese. The beloved filmmaker commented, "I was aghast to find out it was based on a comic book. This is the truest height of cinema and even I cannot top it."
Needless to say, the review was fake, but that doesn't mean that the director doesn't have tons of other unpopular opinions about movies and the movie industry in general. Between criticizing streamers that have given him hundreds of millions of dollars, defending terrible horror sequels, and what he thinks his most violent movie is, Scorsese doesn't stop at Marvel.

Michelle Pfeiffer (‘The First Lady’) would be 2nd actress to win Golden Globe for playing Betty Ford
A full decade after the conclusion of Gerald Ford’s presidency, Gena Rowlands starred in a 1987 ABC biopic centered around his wife, simply titled “The Betty Ford Story.” The telefilm offered an honest look into the former first lady’s struggles with prescription drug and alcohol addiction, and Rowlands’s committed performance brought her a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe. Now, there is a chance of history being made if Michelle Pfeiffer ends up also clinching a Golden Globe for her own take on Betty Ford in “The First Lady.”
The Showtime limited series, which aired all 10 of its episodes this spring, follows the lives of three U.S. presidential spouses, with the other two being Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson) and Michelle Obama (Viola Davis). According to Gold Derby’s predictions, Pfeiffer has the best shot of the three at making it into the 2023 Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress Golden Globe lineup.

Winona Ryder has had her career ups and downs since she made her film debut at age 15 as a high-schooler who befriends Corey Haim, her bully-targeted classmate, in 1986’s “Lucas.” She reigned as one of the most in-demand film actresses in the ‘90s as she transitioned into more adult roles. Ryder hit an unfortunate speed bump in 2001, after she faced shoplifting charges for stealing 5,500 worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue department store. She ended up sentenced to three years of probation, 480 hours of community service and various fines while receiving both psychological and drug counseling.
Ryder took time off from acting between the time of her arrest until 2005, when she appeared in a string of indie films. But her true comeback arrived in J.J. Abrams‘ 2009 “Star Trek” reboot as Spock’s human mother Amanda Grayson. These days, she is best known as single mother Joyce Byers, whose...

With Stranger Things set to end after five seasons, the timing for Winona Rider to reclaim her unforgettable role as Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice 2 is near perfect for sparking nostalgia in longtime fans. Now that studio Plan B has begun early development of the film and Ryder is confirmed to return, all that is left to anticipate is the possible reprisal of Michael Keaton’s titular bio-exercist.
Though Ryder has acknowledged that she knows little about the future blockbuster, it's safe to assume that she will continue to grace audiences with her immeasurable talent, especially given her amazing performance as Joyce Byers. Knowing this, which of her many distinctly memorable character portrayals correspond with each zodiac sign?

Martin Scorsese had just quit seminary for cinema when he caught wind of Michael Powell's "Peeping Tom." The 1960 film about a serial killer obsessed with capturing the dying moments of his female victims had provoked a furor in the filmmaker's native England. Critics responded with invective so harsh and condemnatory that Powell's career never fully recovered. The film was recut and transferred to black-and-white for its release in the U.S., where it played on a single screen in a dumpy Alphabet City theater in New York. "Peeping Tom" was about to be consigned to the scrap heap of film history.
Scorsese, who'd developed an affinity for Powell's films, wouldn't see "Peeping Tom" until a friend screened an uncut 35mm color print for him in 1970. Eight years later, after he'd knocked out critics and audiences alike with "Mean Streets," "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," and "Taxi Driver," a small...

Spooky Season is in session on Hulu, as the streaming service is adding a ton of horror-themed content this month. But not to worry, there’s plenty of other non-spooky new movies and shows to watch, too.
In the horror realm, director David Bruckner’s new (and well-received) take on “Hellraiser” arrives on Oct. 7, while horror films ranging from “Annabelle: Creation” to “The ABCs of Death” to “Monster House” to “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” arrive throughout the month.
In decidedly non-scary new arrivals, the entire series of “Schitt’s Creek” comes to Hulu on Oct. 3 after streaming on Netflix for the last few years, while the Hulu original film “Rosaline” – which tells the “Romeo and Juliet” story from a different point of view – streams on Oct. 14.
Other noteworthy library titles include Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch” on Oct. 25 and David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future” on Oct. 31.

As one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of all time, Martin Scorsese has given us numerous classics tackling diverse themes. With works such as After Hours, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, and Kundun, it is evident that his oeuvre is not just limited to mob and crime films. However, even with his directorial multifariousness, it is the family film Hugo that stands out as his most peculiar. Despite a wider audience base for the genre, this adaptation of Brian Selznick's book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, failed at the box office and seems to have been forgotten by most. That shouldn't be the case. Hugo is a wonderful experience of discovery and enchantment, strengthened by its reflexive retelling of film history and a genuine love for cinema, particularly silent films.

Andrew Garfield has worked with some big names in his career, but in 2016, he was directed by a film legend. Garfield starred alongside Adam Driver in the Academy Award-nominated Martin Scorsese film "Silence," about two 17th century Jesuit priests in Japan. That would likely make most actors very nervous. Garfield recently joined Marc Maron for an episode of his podcast "Wtf with Marc Maron" (via IndieWire), where he spoke about what it was like to actually get to work with Scorsese.
He had all the normal reactions to doing a film with someone of this caliber, saying, "You go in with everything you imagine you would go in with: total excitement, trepidation, pinching yourself, total awareness of how lucky you are that you are one of the handful of people who have gotten to work with the American master of cinema."

“We’re starting to peel back the layers of the onion, so to speak,” reveals Ross Duffer, one half of the dynamic duo the Duffer Brothers, the identical twin brothers behind Netflix blockbuster “Stranger Things.” For our recent webchat with Ross and brother Matt Duffer, Ross teases, “There are a couple more big reveals that we’ve saved for Season 5, knowing that this was going to be the penultimate season, we had to give some of these big ideas away in this season, and that was freeing to be able to do that because before we are almost afraid to do too much besides seeding ideas or hinting at things, because we didn’t want to show our hand too early.” Watch our exclusive video interview with the Duffer Brothers above.

Apple may have found its version of The Gilded Age and Bridgerton.
The tech giant and streamer has gone straight to series on an eight-episode drama inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel, The Buccaneers. The series stars Kristine Froseth (The Assistant), Alisha Boe (13 Reasons Why), Josie Totah (Saved by the Bell), Aubri Ibrag (Dive Club), Imogen Waterhouse (The Outpost) and Mia Threapleton (Shadows). Production is already under way in Scotland.
The series, from writer and creator Katherine Jakeways (Tracey Ullman’s Show), revolves around a group of fun-loving young American girls who exploded into the tightly corseted London season of the 1870s, kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Sent to secure husbands and titles, the buccaneers’ hearts are set on much more than that — and saying ‘I do’ is just the beginning.

In the two decades from 2002 to 2022, Daniel Day-Lewis has only appeared in half a dozen films, beginning with "Gangs of New York" and ending with "Phantom Thread," which was preceded by the announcement of his retirement in 2017. Day-Lewis had already gone into semi-retirement once after starring in "The Boxer" in 1997. He was famously off the grid, working as a shoemaker in Italy, when director Martin Scorsese approached him to play Bill "The Butcher" Cutting in "Gangs of New York."

Martin Scorsese has never had a decade’s slump since breaking out in the 1970s, but the 1990s were an especially fruitful time. From his mob masterpieces Goodfellas and Casino to proving his hand at the sumptuous period piece with The Age of Innocence to showing how to bring something new to the remake with Cape Fear to his spiritual epic Kundun and inching into the new millennium with his overlooked Paul Schrader reunion Bringing Out the Dead, Scorsese also found time to continue his passionate study of cinema.

Reservoir Docs has acquired world rights to “The End of Innocence,” director Pauline Beugnies’ documentary about a string of shocking crimes that rattled Belgium in the 1990s, ahead of its world premiere in the International Spectrum competition section at Hot Docs.
“The End of Innocence” recounts an infamous series of child abductions, rapes and murders by the serial predator Marc Dutroux and his accomplices – a tragedy compounded by the egregious judicial errors that hampered the investigation.
The “Dutroux Affair,” as it came to be known, shocked the nation, culminating in the “White March” of 1996, where more than 350,000 demonstrators marched in silent protest through the streets of Brussels after Dutroux’s arrest.
The story is told through the testimonies of the survivors, now fully grown, shedding light on how their memories are altered by time, distorted by media coverage and limited by their youth and inexperience. Together, they tell an intimate...

Sir Daniel Day-Lewis is famous for many things, one of them being how selective he is with his roles. The British actor has only worked with three directors more than once: Jim Sheridan, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Martin Scorsese. However, Scorsese's influence on Day-Lewis began long before they worked together on "The Age Of Innocence" and "Gangs of New York." Day-Lewis still remembers seeing "Mean Streets," one of Scorsese's first movies, during its initial theatrical run in 1973 and the effect that the film had on him.

Happy Centennial to the composer Elmer Bernstein. Bernstein was born 100 years ago today in NYC to Ukrainian immigrant parents. As a teenager he hoped to become a concert pianist. Fate had different plans; He became a legendary film composer instead. His A list breakthrough came in the mid 50s with the back-to-back success of The Man with the Golden Arm (his first Oscar nomination) and Cecil B DeMille's The Ten Commandments. A year before his death in 2004 he was Oscar nominated for a 14th time for Far From Heaven (2002). So many classic films on his resume. Consider...

Rarely one finds a friend on the Criterion Channel—discounting the parasitic relationship we form with filmmakers, I mean—but it’s great seeing their March lineup give light to Sophy Romvari, the <bias>exceptionally talented</bias> filmmaker and curator whose work has perhaps earned comparisons to Agnès Varda and Chantal Akerman but charts its own path of history and reflection. It’s a good way to lead into an exceptionally strong month, featuring as it does numerous films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, the great Japanese documentarian Kazuo Hara, newfound cult classic Arrebato, and a number of Criterion editions.
On the last front we have The Age of Innocence, Bull Durham, A Raisin in the Sun, The Celebration, Merrily We Go to Hell, and Design for Living. There’s always something lingering on the watchlist, but it might have to wait a second longer—March is an opened floodgate.

The oscillation between the calm of this being one story among many, merely one link in a long chain of lives, and the very concrete, time-stamped search for identity by the heroine is beautifully constructed in Joachim Trier’s The Worst Person In The World (Verdens Verste Menneske), co-written with longtime collaborator Eskil Vogt.
The two have teamed up to present at Film at Lincoln Center Joachim Trier: The Oslo Trilogy and nine films selected by them to screen, including Martin Scorsese’s The Age Of Innocence; John Hughes’s The Breakfast Club; Agnès Varda’s Cléo From 5 To 7; Alain Resnais’ Hiroshima Mon Amour; Arnaud Desplechin’s My Sex Life… or How I Got Into An Argument, and George Cukor’s The Philadelphia Story....

This The Gilded Age review contains spoilers for “Never the New.”
The Gilded Age‘s two-part premiere episode is 90 minutes of epic period drama world-building. In the new HBO series, creator Julian Fellowes melds many of the storytelling tropes and elements that made Downton Abbey a worldwide hit with a less explored decade in American history into a story that delivers on the social drama and historical recreation. Let’s talk about “Never the New, Parts 1 & 2.”
The Gilded Age Setting
The Gilded Age‘s setting is 1882 New York City, a city of rapid changes in both society and industry. Thousands of new residents arrive either from other places in America or from around the world. The Industrial Revolution created a new class of millionaires and billionaires to challenge the generational wealth of the oldest families. As these elites gained wealth, the gap between the richest and the poorest Americans increased exponentially.

There’s a scene on HBO’s new series “The Gilded Age” in which Carrie Coon, playing the aspirant socialite Bertha Russell, lectures one of her rivals. Bertha has the money to break into the whirl of New York City life in 1882, but lacks the intangible social class that would allow her to truly fit in. No matter: One of the women who has spurned Bertha has come to ask her for a favor, and Bertha decides to deliver a lesson instead. “I hesitate to teach the basics, but life is like a bank account,” she declares. “You cannot write a check without first making a deposit.”
This scene illustrates what makes this panoramic social drama about a bygone world work, and the obstacles it must overcome in getting there. When considered for a moment, this line, like much of the dialogue series creator Julian Fellowes, writing with Sonja Warfield,...

They were a Hollywood power couple who chose to live and raise their family in Connecticut, far removed from the center of moviemaking. They were box office draws who remained true to their art, using their celebrity to finance smaller dramas and passion projects. They epitomized glamour and romance for legions of fans, but remained more devoted to social justice and philanthropy than red carpet premieres.
Now, a new six-part documentary will examine the lives and legacies of the enigmatic and incandescent Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman. The series, “The Last Movie Stars,” is directed by Ethan Hawke and executive produced by Martin Scorsese. CNN Films and HBO Max are backing the series, which will premiere exclusively on CNN Plus, the news network’s subscription streaming service which will debut later this year. The film will also be available later via HBO Max.
There’s certainly a lot of rich material to dig into.
