A series adaptation of the film “Hell or High Water” is in the works at Fox, Variety has learned exclusively.

In the series version, when a ruthless oil tycoon attempts to plunder a West Texas ranching community, two local brothers dodge a zealous Texas Ranger and fight to keep what’s theirs, one bank robbery at a time, come hell or high water.

The one-hour drama project has received a script and additional material to series order at the broadcaster. Jessica Mecklenburg will write and executive produce. Sidney Kimmel, John Penotti, Charlie Corwin, and Marcy Ross of Sk Global will

Without much fanfare, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the winners of the 2022 Golden Globes via Twitter on Sunday night, with no media in attendance or celebrities walking the red carpet, like years past.

“The Power of the Dog” (Netflix) won best drama and “West Side Story” (20th Century/Disney) nabbed best musical or comedy. Jane Campion picked up the best director trophy for helming “The Power of the Dog,” and Kodi Smit-McPhee won best supporting actor for the western. “West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler was named best actress in a musical or comedy, and her co-star Ariana DeBose

Buffeted by bad reviews and bleak box-office predictions, the star-studded female spy thriller, The 355, never really stood a chance against Spider-Man: No Way Home—not even in the blockbuster’s fourth weekend in theaters. Even so, Universal’s globe-trotting espionage flick fell short of expectations, pulling in a paltry $4.8 million in its domestic debut. Meanwhile, Peter Parker and company continued their miracle run at the multiplex, not just taking the top spot again with ease (thanks to its $33 million North American haul over the weekend), but also continuing their assault on the record books, where the Tom Holland tentpole became the sixth highest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office and the eighth-biggest worldwide.

Let’s kick things off with the good news: After a month in theaters, Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to be one of the few Hollywood films to succeed despite of the pandemic.

Today, Netflix has released a new trailer for their upcoming true-crime documentary "The Tinder Swindler." Dating apps can be dangerous places. If you've been on them, you know what people will say and do to get what they want. In the film, which is directed by Felicity Morris, we learn about one such person. This man, whose name is Simon, seduced several women on Tinder, made them fall in love with him and his jet-setting lifestyle, and then swindled them out of millions.

Public service announcement here: Do not send money to people you're dating, even if you think you love them....

While Netflix is starting to make inroads into the best picture category at the Oscars, it's been making a strong showing in the best documentary competition for some time. Although its feature documentary catalog does not stretch very far into the past (the oldest film on this list is from 2016) and is mostly American (there's only one film here from outside the U.S.), it still has plenty of docs that are worth discovering.

True crime stories, like the murder of JonBenet Ramsey and the sexual abuse of U.S. gymnasts, are popular topics, but there are also documentaries on prominent figures from recent...

"Cobra Kai" season 4 is out now on Netflix, but if you want to relive season 3 with extra goodies, you can pick up the DVD today, January 11, 2022. Even cooler? You can check out an exclusive deleted scene right this very moment. /Film has the scene below which features Samantha Larusso (Mary Mouser) confronting Hawk (Jacob Bertrand) and telling him what's coming down the pipe for him and the rest of Cobra Kai. The very best part about it is Demetri's (Gianni DeCenzo) face as he watches former friend Hawk be all ... Hawk-y. 

There is some very salty language here,...

"Don't try to understand it. Feel it." Hearing that line in Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" may be enough for some viewers, those who were "feeling it," to go with the flow and the reverse chronological current of the movie's convoluted plot, which describes itself as a "temporal pincer movement."

Plot with a capital "P" and sheer blockbuster spectacle do take precedence here over characters, with most of the players in "Tenet" being underdeveloped at best and mere cyphers at worst. Yet for all that, there are certain emotional beats between them, and if you're hooked into those, then maybe you can understand the basics of "Tenet" without needing...

The film, which is told in 12 chapters, premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival where Reinsve won the award for Best Actress.

We've all had our fun teasing Apple TV+ for sometimes looking like the runt of the streaming service litter, but the little one is now on track for a serious glow-up period. In 2021, even with a limited library, Apple-produced originals managed to stand out and even win a few new subscribers. I'm mostly talking about our favorite mustache dad, "Ted Lasso," but similar praise has been afforded to the likes of "Dickinson," "Foundation," and "Servant." As the year chugged along, the streamer even put in the work to acquire some heavy-hitting award contenders, like "The Tragedy of Macbeth" and "Coda." But...

The month of July is for big action blockbusters when aliens are blowing up Washington DC, or superheroes are flying in to save the day. The entire fall is generally dedicated to awards fare and everything that could reasonably be expected to compete at the Oscars. Then you've got January, which is for, well, pretty much all the movies the studios had completely lost faith in but felt obligated to release anyway. Poor old January has long been considered the garbage heap of the cinematic year where complete disasters are pushed out without any fanfare in the vain hope that no one will notice them.

True, twisted love never dies: "The Great" is officially renewed for a third season at Hulu. The historical dark comedy just dropped an excellent second season in November, and there's more where that came from, according to Variety.

"The Great" is billed as "An Occasionally True Story," a note that became all the more relevant in its second season when Catherine (Elle Fanning) took over the Russian throne. Rather than having her husband Peter (Nicholas Hoult) killed, as history shows he was after the coup, Catherine kept him sequestered as she attempted to win over the Russian people. By the end of the second...

We're beyond the "Happy New Year!" point, so let me just say: welcome to 2022, I guess! A new year calls for a new Blu-ray column, and that's what I'm here to deliver. This week, we're taking a look at a big sci-fi blockbuster, a divisive horror sequel, a low-budget actioner, and a monster movie that really should've been a lot better than it ended up being. As always, I urge you to keep physical media alive, because you don't own it if it's only streaming, folks. Hold onto your discs.

Being a superhero is tough work, and that goes double for those specially-chosen beings who were created to live unnaturally long lifespans and burdened with fending off the sinister Deviants from planet to planet. Sometimes, you just want to relax, take a load off, and ... dance? That's apparently the theme of the day, if this newly-released blooper reel is anything to go by. Chloé Zhao may be considered one of our most talented, ambitious, and serious-minded storytellers in the business right now, but that doesn't mean she couldn't keep a loose atmosphere and a fun set while on the job for "Eternals."

Another year, another banquet of edible screen arrangements that tell stories through taste, textures, temperature, and anything else a Michelin rated chef examines. I return as your always-hungry film critic with an eye for all the delectable ways writers and directors implement food into their productions. Last year I spoiled myself on Gotham breakfast sandwiches and fried Oily Cakes. Betty Gilpin ate an exquisite grilled cheese. There was a lot to digest.

This year, we run the gamut of gastro-storytelling from serious representations of racial abuse to the jokiest usage of pasta as guts. We support and respect filmmakers who aren't afraid to let their actors speak...

Starz scored a bit of an unexpected hit with "Power" when the show debuted on the premium cable network back in 2014. At the time, it certainly didn't seem like the kind of series that would run for as long as it did, and it certainly didn't appear as though it would generate a healthy franchise. And yet, here we are eight years later, awaiting the fourth series in the franchise, "Power Book IV: Force." This...

Matafeo shared the news via Twitter and even threw in an extra special treat, giving us our first look at the show's second season.

Even relatively casual "Star Wars" fans are at least vaguely familiar with "The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise," a key moment from "Revenge of the Sith" that one, hints at some very important history within the franchise, and two, became a very popular meme format on the internet.

While the story has not been officially told in the current canon under the Disney era of Lucasfilm, author James Luceno's 2012 novel "Star Wars: Darth Plagueis" tells the tale of that famous moment from the prequels, and it is widely considered to be one of the greatest novels ever...
