Set to pen the script is Pamela Ribon, the writer behind titles like Moana, Ralph Breaks the Internet and Nimona, who earned an Oscar nomination for her memorably titled 2022 animated short My Year of Dicks. Bad Robot is producing alongside Reger, who exec produces alongside Trevor Duke-Moretz.

View a graphic teasing the Warner Bros film below.

First introduced in the early 1990s, Emily the Strange began her life as an image on skateboards, stickers, and t-shirts, before seeing her brand expand into a multimillion-dollar universe of characters, books, comics, games, clothing and merchandise. With her striking black, white and red aesthetic and witty observations about society, Emily and her four black cats represent a raw, punk rock,...

Marvel Can Bring Back Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Into the MCU (Photo Credit – Koimoi)

Andrew Garfield, who played the titular Marvel role in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and the 2014 sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, made his last appearance as the character in the 2021 hit Spider-Man: No Way Home along with Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland. Garfield’s role made us believe he wasn’t just fighting the villains but wrestling with his inner battles. Moreover, his chemistry with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy had fans hooked. But after The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sony hit the brakes on his journey without concluding his character arc.

Although Garfield’s Spider-Man void was filled by Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, his cameo in No Way Home reignited the spark among fans who want more of him. Well, Marvel and Sony can find plenty of ways to bring him back if they will.

Andrew Garfield...

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" was both a hugely significant cultural moment and, depending on who you ask, a key moment in the arrival of a new cynical era for moviemaking in which pandering to fan expectations takes precedence above all else. The box office performance of "No Way Home" cemented Spider-Man as a cultural phenomenon for the ages, but with its multiple cameo appearances almost eclipsing the need for a coherent or affecting story, the film arguably walked so that a movie like "Deadpool & Wolverine" — dubbed a "soulless act of autofellatio" and "a prayer to corporate onanism" by /Film's Witney Seibold — could run.

That said, even the most skeptical critic would surely have a hard time claiming they didn't have a good time watching "No Way Home" at the theater. The film represents what I believe should be a blueprint for Marvel Studios moving forward: An event movie that you go to see once,...

Well, well, well, look who's press training finally kicked in. Tom Holland has been going around talking about the next Spider-Man movie like it's not yet a sure thing ("I don’t want to make another movie for the sake of making it"). But it turns out that he was...

A third film in the Marvel Comics-inspired Venom franchise made its way through production last year, shutting down for several months along the way due to the Screen Actors Guild strike. Now the film, titled Venom: The Last Dance, is heading for an October 25th theatrical release – but the first batch of viewers had their chance to see the movie last night, and the reactions that are coming out of that screening are quite positive, with several saying that this is the best movie in the Venom trilogy! Some of the reactions can be seen in the X embeds below.

The first Venom was scripted by Jeff Pinker, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel. Ruben Fleischer directed that film, which made $856 million. But then Fleischer turned his focus to making Zombieland: Double Tap and Uncharted – so Andy Serkis took over as director on Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Which was written by Kelly Marcel,...

We first meet Angelo, a curious young boy who dreams of adventures exploring the natural world. One morning, he learns some troubling news—his beloved grandmother has taken ill.

Hoping to see her, Angelo and his family pack into their car for a visit. But during a stop along the way, his distracted parents fail to notice when Angelo wanders off. Now alone in the countryside, he must find his own path through the forest ahead.

There Angelo encounters a wondrous world hiding within the trees. Strange new creatures dwell here—a chattering frog, a squirrel longing to fly, even a living cloud with temper issues. Some prove more helpful than others in guiding our lost protagonist. Alongside his unusual guides, Angelo explores this mysterious domain and all its secrets. Yet his journey also mirrors personal growth as he learns independence while remaining devoted to his family.

Though he lent his voice to the What If…? series, Chadwick Boseman’s final live-action appearance in the MCU was in Avengers: Endgame. Everyone remembers his royal entrance into the Battle with Thanos as he comes through the golden spirals along with other heroes who had been victims of the snap.

While his last moment in the MCU was a brief glimpse at Tony Stark’s funeral, a now-surfaced deleted scene reportedly extends this. Fans seem annoyed that Marvel deleted the scene, which reportedly shows T’Challa and Doctor Strange discussing future threats and how to defend the world.

If you've been on social media this weekend, chances are you've heard that Doctor Strange 3 is moving forward with filmmaker Sam Raimi. Oh, and that Gladiator II star Denzel Washington has "officially" been cast as Dormammu.

Great news, right?

Well, while at least one viral X post sharing the news has racked up over 9.5 million views, it's not true. The update comes from Production Weekly, a publication with a 10% chance of ever actually being correct (typically because, beyond production start dates, the information shared is collated from online rumours or fan speculation). 

For example, Production Weekly recently revealed that a Mr. Freeze movie is officially in the works from producer Matt Reeves (The Batman). A few hours later, DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn confirmed the project doesn't exist. 

While Marvel Studios might be eager to bring Raimi back into the fold for a Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness sequel,...

When Sam Raimi signed on to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it was pretty much a given that he was going to give his longtime friend and Evil Dead franchise star Bruce Campbell a cameo somewhere in the film, just like he had Campbell appear in each one of the Spider-Man movies he directed.. Sure enough, Campbell showed up in the Doctor Strange movie as a character called Pizza Poppa – and in interviews given since then, Campbell has stated that not only his Pizza Poppa a variant of his Spider-Man character(s), but he also has a future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Over a year after the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Campbell told ComicBook.com, “The cameos are like, in the Spider-Man movies — if you know anything about the multiverse, you know now, retroactively, I’m in the multiverse now because of Doctor Strange.

Sam Raimi, the director of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy, returned to the superhero world to direct the Doctor Strange sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after the first movie’s director, Scott Derrickson, dropped out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe project over creative disagreements. Ever since the release of that movie, Raimi’s name has come up in rumors for more superhero movies, whether it be Avengers sequels or another Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie… and while those haven’t panned out, here’s one that might: industry scooper Jeff Sneider reports on his website The InSneider that Raimi is nearing a deal to direct Doctor Strange 3 for Marvel.

Sneider wrote, “I’m told that Raimi is definitely coming back, which is no surprise as he really seemed to enjoy working with Marvel, as opposed to other filmmakers who have struggled to adapt to the studio’s process.

The standalone sequel to the critically acclaimed Doctor Strange was titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This film introduced the MCU’s titular superhero. Sam Raimi directed the movie, featuring Strange facing Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, who had completed her seemingly evil transformation.

Although critics received the movie well, its lackluster plot has likely led to its status as one of the worst MCU films.

Despite the film’s reception, Doctor Strange remains one of the most significant characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is likely to play a larger role as the story unfolds, especially with the Multiverse Saga and the arrival of Doctor Doom. So, what about a third solo movie?

Rumors about Strange getting (and needing!) a third solo movie have been out there for some time, but no precise information has been given. Cumberbatch recently said that he was clueless, but a trusted Hollywood insider,...

Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire both reprised their respective big-screen Spider-Man roles in the mega-hit Spider-Man: No Way Home, joining current MCU Webhead Tom Holland for a Multiversal adventure that ultimately took in close to $2 billion at the worldwide box office (surpassing that milestone if you count the re-release).

While the response to both actors' return was mostly very positive, fans seemed particularly happy to see Garfield back in the iconic blue and red after his tenure as the hero was cut short following The Amazing Spider-Man 2's underperformance.

Earlier today, Garfield made it clear that he'd be more than happy to suit-up as Spider-Man again should the opportunity present itself - and "if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before."

In the same interview with Esquire, Garfield admitted that...

Jack Antonoff has announced a plan to open free, public recording studios at LGBTQ+ youth shelters, with the goal of ultimately bringing public studios to cities across the country.

According to a statement posted to social media, Antonoff plans to “spend a large part of the next chapter of my life bringing these spaces to people who wouldn’t have access to them,” beginning with “working through the Ally Coalition to build studios in LGBTQ+ youth shelters.”

The specifics for this plan aren’t quite ironed out yet, but Antonoff explained that it would involve having “a network of engineers that we will fund who will train people at these sites.” From there, the hope is “to build these spaces, pay for maintenance and engineering, and let the centers give out the time slots for people to use them.” After that, “we can start to expand...

Bartees Strange has announced a new album, Horror, due out February 14th via 4Ad. To preview the album, the songwriter has shared a music video for lead single “Sober.” Watch it below.

Horror follows Strange’s acclaimed 2022 effort Farm to Table, as well as a handful of loosies from various compilations, soundtracks, and single releases. The record boasts production and contributions from Jack Antonoff and is set to further expand Strange’s eclectic blend of genres.

“In a way, I think I made this record to reach out to people who may feel afraid of things in their lives too,” Strange said of Horror. “For me it’s love, locations, cosmic bad luck, or that feeling of doom that I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. I think that it’s easier to navigate the horrors and strangeness of life once you realize that everyone around you feels the same.

In addition to earthquakes, “Strange Forces of Nature...

David Gilmour kicked off his Luck and Strange world tour Friday night at Circo Massimo in Rome, Italy. The set featured six songs from the new album, multiple guest appearances by Gilmour’s daughter Romany, three tunes from 2015’s Rattle That Lock, and 12 Pink Floyd classics.

Prior to the tour, Gilmour generated headlines all across the world by saying he had an “unwillingness to revisit the Pink Floyd of the Seventies,” and would instead play only songs from his era fronting the band in the Eighties and early Nineties. But...

Most fans considered Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, to be the most anticipated, ultimate film of the year.

The film shattered multiple box office records, being among the most profitable releases of the year. After finally breaking the $1 billion mark, the movie is currently the second highest-grossing movie of the year, behind Inside Out 2.

When the movie initially came out, it was the most frequently discussed topic here on Fiction Horizon, but it’s been a while since we’ve reported intensively on the movie. The movie will be released on home media later next month, but until then, we can enjoy a newly released deleted scene.

The deleted scene was from the beginning of the movie, just when Deadpool was taken by the Tva and it actually adds more substance to the scene, while, at the same time, hinting that there...

Spider-Man and Doctor Strange have a classic tandem in the comics, but fans of the MCU saw they had a different bond in the movies, especially after what happened in Spider-Man: No Way Home. While the spell cast by the Sorcerer Supreme was truly a shocking event, it’s no more surprising than the fact that it wasn’t their first interaction – at least on the big screen.

Many years ago, Peter Parker and Stephen Strange met in one of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films. It’s hard to believe, but there was an allusion all along, and many fans did not seem to notice it.

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3 Had a Doctor Strange Easter Egg

Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange shared a very heart-wrenching moment in the third installment of the MCU’s Spider-Man saga.

David Gilmour is set to kick off a limited tour of London, Rome, Los Angeles, and New York (get tickets here) later this week in support of his new album, Luck and Strange. As a warm-up, he played a pair of live dress rehearsal shows at Brighton Centre in Brighton, England on Friday (September 20th) and Saturday (September 21st).

During the first concert, Gilmour debuted several songs from the new LP, including “The Piper’s Call,” “Between Two Points,” and “Dark and Velvet Nights.” More than half of the set was made up of classic Pink Floyd material, including many songs he hadn’t played since the mid-2000s.

Besides performing The Dark Side of the Moon song “Breathe (In the Air)” for the first time since 2006, Gilmour dusted off cuts from The Division Bell like “Marooned” and “A Great Day for Freedom” for the first time since 2004 and 2006, respectively.

The Following Film Review is Based on A True Story. Reader Discretion is Advised.

According to statistics (that I’ve just now fabricated to support my claim), the average horror fan consumes approx. 736 true crime documentaries each year. It’s an outrageous number, but one feels closer to reality than zero. The good, however, is that those countless hours of over-produced, mildly exploitative junk content have prepared you for a new mockumentary from the co-director of the Reality TV parody Grave Encounters.

Stuart Ortiz’s Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire is an incredibly spot-on spoof of the now classic Netflix True Crime documentary format. It’s got salacious crime scene footage, distressing interviews with the parents of victims, cops that have gotten to close to the case, cliffhangers designed for commercial breaks, and a mysteriously intriguing intro montage. It so closely resembles the medium it’s mimicking...

Agatha All Along premiered with its first two episodes, and while fans are loving it, critics have a more mixed response. The series continues after WandaVision, showing Agatha—now called Agnes—living under a spell from the Scarlet Witch until she is freed by Locke’s character, The Teen.

Agatha and The Teen team up to navigate the Witches Road, with The Teen seeking power and Agatha looking to regain her own, as she returns without her abilities.

The show feels somewhat disconnected from the main MCU, especially since the magical elements surrounding Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch haven’t been deeply explored. However, it establishes a solid foundation for characters that could connect to Ghost Rider and the Midnight Sons if you’re attuned to the hints.

One of the first supporting characters introduced is Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal, who has been confirmed as a green witch before the series began.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along.

The first episode of Agatha All Along, much like WandaVision before it, began with an homage to a style of television. Starting out as a procedural drama before shifting into the urban fantasy setting that can be expected from a show like this, the first episode in the series was able to introduce a slew of easter eggs which could lead to some big ramifications for the MCU ahead of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

It's long been known that "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" underwent some behind-the-scenes changes when original director Scott Derrickson departed in 2020, to be replaced by Sam Raimi. What those changes were, though, and indeed what Derrickson had planned in the first place, remained unclear... until, it seems, now.

"X-Men '97" creator and former showrunner Beau DeMayo has shared details on X/Twitter. Apparently, big changes were made during rewrites to the Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), turning her from supporting hero to villain.

Recap time: Wanda — once an Avenger — went a little mad with grief after Thanos (Josh Brolin) murdered her android lover Vision (Paul Bettany) back in "Avengers: Infinity War." In Disney+ series "WandaVision," she let loose her reality-warping powers to another level, brainwashing the town of Westview, New Jersey to make an idyllic sitcom-life for herself and a magical facsimile of Vision. "Multiverse of Madness" carries on from there,...

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘ served as a solo sequel to the original ‘Doctor Strange’ film that first introduced the sorcerer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Sam Raimi, the movie depicted Doctor Strange in a confrontation with Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, as her transition into a villain was fully realized.

While the film received a mixed reception and is often not ranked among the MCU’s best, largely due to criticism of its storyline, it still holds an important place within the franchise.

Despite the film’s divisive response, Doctor Strange remains a pivotal character in the MCU, with his significance expected to expand further, particularly within the context of the Multiverse Saga and the anticipated arrival of Doctor Doom.

However, as is typical with Marvel, details about the character’s future remain tightly under wraps. To shed light on what might be coming,...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the solo sequel to the hit film Doctor Strange, which introduced the titular superhero to the MCU. The film was directed by Sam Raimi and featured Strange in a clash with Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, whose seemingly villainous turn was completed in that movie. The film was solid, but it had its critics, and it is, today, not regarded as one of the best MCU movies, probably because of the poor story.

But, regardless of the movie, Doctor Strange is currently one of the most important MCU characters, and his role, going forward, is something that will most likely grow, especially within the framework of the Multiverse Saga and the appearance of Doctor Doom.

But, Marvel is being traditionally secretive about the future, which is why we have turned to a popular and reliable MCU insider, Alex Perez, who reveals some...

A third film in the Marvel Comics-inspired Venom franchise made its way through production last year, shutting down for several months along the way due to the Screen Actors Guild strike. Now the film, titled Venom: The Last Dance, is aiming for an October 25th theatrical release – and with that date just one month away, the final trailer has just arrived online! You can watch it in the embed above.

The first Venom was scripted by Jeff Pinker, Scott Rosenberg, and Kelly Marcel. Ruben Fleischer directed that film, which made $856 million. But then Fleischer turned his focus to making Zombieland: Double Tap and Uncharted – so Andy Serkis took over as director on Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Which was written by Kelly Marcel, working from a story she crafted with star Tom Hardy. That sequel earned $506 million at the pandemic era global box office. Serkis said he would be glad...

Back in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was established, giving youngsters and adults a chance to watch live-action adaptations of their favorite comic book superheroes. Doctor Strange was one character in the MCU that intrigued a lot of fans over the years. And the Sorcerer was given his first film in November 2016, becoming an instant hit while earning one of the best movie ratings in the MCU.

If there’s one thing that the MCU loves doing, it is placing a bunch of easter eggs in its movies for fans to ponder later. Right now, we will be diving into the Avengers: Infinity War movie which came out in 2018. There is one major hidden easter egg involving Doctor Strange that not many caught onto, even years after the movie’s release. Let’s take a look at it!

Doctor Strange hid the...

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the solo sequel to the hit film Doctor Strange which introduced the titular superhero to the MCU. The film was directed by Sam Raimi and featured Strange in a clash with Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, whose seemingly villainous turn was completed in that movie.

The film was solid, but it had its critics and it is, today, not regarded as one of the best MCU movies, probably because of the poor story. Sure, we’ve had our cameos, and we had a very expansive setting and a solid clash of mages, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy the fans’ appetites. And rightfully so.

But, as it seems, an insider who has access to the concept art, reveals that the movie went through a lot of changes and that the initial idea was for Wanda to be a hero, after which a second villain was added.

Fresh off the release of his new album Luck and Strange, David Gilmour stopped by a local pub in Brighton and Hove, UK for an open mic on Monday night and gave his first live performance since 2020.

Taking place at The Neptune Inn, the Pink Floyd guitarist and singer joined his daughter Romany Gilmour, who also contributed vocals to Luck and Strange. Romany invited her father up for a song, and David asked if they should do “Wish You Were Here” — they then performed the Pink Floyd classic together on acoustic guitars, singing in harmony as the pub’s attendees sang along.

David immortalized the moment by posting a video of the performance on Twitter, writing, “Very much enjoyed crashing @GilmourRomany’s gig at the Neptune in Hove this evening after finishing tour rehearsals…” Watch the video below.

With Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU, excitement is building for the future of this expansive cinematic universe. Fans are eager to see how the stories, characters, and movies will unfold as the MCU embraces a more multiversal approach. It remains to be seen how Marvel will weave all these elements together and whether they can craft a compelling narrative moving forward.

In light of recent major in-universe developments and revelations, especially from movies like Deadpool & Wolverine, fans are debating the anchor being of Earth-616, the central setting of the MCU.

While Marvel has not officially confirmed who the anchor being of this Earth is, there has been ongoing speculation about one particular character. However, recent insider information might suggest a surprising alternative, which we’ll explore in our report.

The concept of the anchor being is crucial. As depicted in MCU works featuring the Tva, the anchor...

The most intriguing song on Luck and Strange, David Gilmour’s first solo album in nearly a decade, is a dark-mirror reflection of his own artistry: a rendition of the Montgolfier Brothers’ sardonic 1999 dream-pop song “Between Two Points,” sung by his daughter, Romany.

The original song was a slow-building echo of Pink Floyd’s realism, an impressionistic portrait of failed communication and a related sense of resignation. Refracted through the Gilmours’ lenses, “Between Two Points” feels starker and uncanny, as Romany plays the keyboard on a harp and sings, “Just...

Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour is actively interested in selling the band’s catalog, but not because of the financial windfall it would surely bring him. Instead, it’s one less headache he’d have to deal with moving forward.

“To be rid of the decision-making and the arguments that are involved with keeping it going is my dream,” he explained in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. “I am not interested in that from a financial standpoint. I’m only interested in it from getting out of the mud bath that it has been for quite a while.”

The “mud bath” Gilmour speaks is likely in reference to his contentious relationship with former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters, whom Gilmour described as a “misogynistic, antisemitic, Putin apologist” in 2023. That marked just one relatively recent incident from decades of tension and conflict between the two.

Deadpool & Wolverine introduces the Deadpool Corps for an unforgettable action scene set to Madonna's "Like a Prayer." Only a few of them have speaking lines and those that do are played by members of Ryan Reynolds' family in what proves to be pitch-perfect casting.

However, the fast-talking Cowboypool is an exception as he's voiced by Matthew McConaughey, an actor comic book fans have long hoped to see in a superhero movie (he was once among those rumoured to play Doctor Strange).

Now, Deadpool & Wolverine concept artist Jonay Bacallado has shared his design for Western Wade Wilson. "One the coolest and craziest sequences in the film is the portal opening and arrival of an army of Deadpool variants. Cowboypool was one the first ones to be conceptualised," he explains.

"[Mayes C. Rubeo] wanted to pay homage to the Western genre. We got inspiration from great icons like Clint Eastwood.

With Deadpool & Wolverine continuing to dominate the box office, the filmmakers behind the Marvel Studios blockbuster have been sharing a ton of amazing behind-the-scenes content revealing candid moments and a few deleted scenes that we'll hopefully see more of when the film arrives on home video later this year.

The latest footage comes to us from leading man Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson/Deadpool), who shared a deleted scene that shows the aftermath of The Reistance's battle against Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) and her forces, showcasing Gambit (Channing Tatum) surveying the battlefield, only to be interrupted by the appearance of one of Doctor Strange's Inter-Dimensional Portals, a.k.a. a Marvel Sparkle Circle, which seems to indicate he finally made it out of the Void.

Considering X-23 was returned back to Earth-10005 with Logan (Hugh Jackman) and Deadpool, it was assumed fellow Resistance members Blade and Elektra were also returned to their respective home worlds.

In January 2007, a few months after the conclusion of the On an Island tour, David Gilmour and members of his road band, including Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, convened in a drafty barn on his U.K. property to try out some new song ideas. “I hadn’t thought this all the way through,” Gilmour says. “It was fuckin’ freezing in there. But we spent 15 minutes working on this tiny, little riff I wrote on the guitar. They all joined in one by one.”

The sketch of a song was...

Benedict Cumberbatch has proven to be the ultimate Doctor Strange for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, channeling his wit, charm, and personality as a whole most profoundly. From a doctor who only sought to cure his hands to a well-established sorcerer who head-on takes the challenges posed by multiversal threats, he has truly come a long way as the character.

Throughout this journey, he has also battled quite a few big baddies, including the likes of Dormammu and Thanos, the latter of whom even posed an existential crisis for the doctor himself. But it seems that even the Mad Titan may not have been Strange’s biggest enemy, considering how one other element at Kamar-Taj posed a greater nuisance to him: A fighting stick!

Ever since...

On Friday, the news broke that Avengers: Age of Ultron star James Spader is set to return as the titular villain for the planned Disney+ Vision series, which is now being described as "the third part of a trilogy that started with WandaVision and continues in Agatha All Along."

Ultron was destroyed by Vision (Paul Bettany) towards the end of the Avengers sequel, and while we're not sure exactly how he'll be reintroduced, it sounds like the character won't just be returning for a cameo.

According to Daniel Richtman, the all-powerful AI will "have a major role in the show." The scooper has also heard that the Vision series "will have elements of West Cost Avengers."

This chapter of Earth's Mightiest Heroes was formed by Hawkeye in the '80s, and the original line-up also included Vision, Mockingbird, Wonder Man, Tigra, and Iron Man (with Rhodey in the armor). Whether...

After premiering at Fantastic Fest last fall, the romantic thriller Strange Darling has quickly become one of the buzziest indies of the summer. Starring Kyle Gallner (Scream) and Willa Fitzgerald as a couple whose one-night stand turns into something sinister, it’s a twisty, beautifully shot, and exquisitely fun time at the movies.

We at FandomWire got to speak with Strange Darling writer-director Jt Mollner and producer/director of photography Giovanni Ribisi (whom you might recognize as an actor from films like Avatar and Lost in Translation) about the film, its structure and style, and Ribisi making the jump from being an actor to becoming a cinematographer. Check out the full interview below!

RELATEDStrange Darling Review — Giovanni Ribisi Lenses a Twisty, Captivating Thriller Strange Darling Interview

FandomWire: You hear about many actors jumping from acting to directing but not acting to Dp’ing. Mr. Ribisi, what made you want to become a cinematographer,...

Your eyes do not deceive you. Giovanni Ribisi — the same Giovanni Ribisi who boasts more than a hundred acting credits since 1985 — photographed and produced J.T. Mollner’s critically acclaimed thriller Strange Darling. The film’s nonlinear narrative is told through six chapters, and it explores the fallout of a calamitous one-night stand involving Kyle Gallner’s serial killer character, The Demon, and Willa Fitzgerald’s circumspect next target who’s credited as The Lady.

Throughout his four decades on film and TV sets, Ribisi has taken a keen interest in the work of his various directors of photography, and he credits a number of those DPs for sharing their know-how, beginning with Dante Spinotti, whom he worked with on Michael Mann’s Public Enemies (2009) and Garry Marshall’s The Other Sister (1999). The late Andrew Lesnie, who shot Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy and won an Oscar...

Popcorn Frights Film Festival announced its juried and audience awards that were selected from a packed lineup of 131 films — a program encompassing 48 features and 83 shorts hailing from 20 different countries, spanning nine distinct categories, that reached 12,700 fans.

From the press release: “This year, the jury panel, comprised of national media figures and local filmmakers, selected J.T. Mollner’s terrifying cat-and-mouse thriller Strange Darling for the Jury Prize for Best Feature Film. In accepting the award, J.T. Mollner stated, ‘Wow. This is such an honor.

“The Scariest Feature Film Prize was awarded to Cody Ashford’s chilling tale Drive Back, an inventive twist on the slasher genre that had its world premiere at the festival. To further highlight emerging talent, Popcorn...

Writer/director Jt Mollner‘s “Strange Darling” (in theaters August 23) is a horror film that immediately grabs the viewer’s attention with the vividness and intensity of its imagery. The opening scene of the movie about the final months of a serial killer opens on a terrifying chase scene in flashes of black-and-white, then moves from one distinctive set piece to another, shifting between bold palettes to use color, light, and framing to recalibrate the viewer’s understanding of the unpredictable relationship at the movie’s center. Mollner throws down the gauntlet with an opening title card informing the audience that this is a movie shot on 35mm film; from that point forward, every richly textured image exists to demonstrate just why it was so important to shoot on celluloid, and to alternately delay and reveal the movie’s many thrilling surprises.

Aside from the plot twists, there’s another big surprise in “Strange Darling,...

Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man was not a merciless killer. He only eliminated his enemies when he needed to. But with the introduction (or more of a reintroduction) of Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, things can be a little different this time around.

From a plethora of theories to a number of rumors, all the Avengers, superheroes and their variants are in fear. Things could take a bad turn at any time and fans think that a character from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the next target.

Fans Think Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Will Kill America Chavez

In 2022, the world was introduced to Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez in the iconic MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With the power to cross universes, Chavez became an important person for Doctor Strange in the movie.

In Strange Darling, nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer's vicious murder spree. The horror-thriller currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and is, without doubt, a movie of the year candidate.

Written and directed by Jt Mollner (Outlaws & Angels), Strange Darling features cinematography by Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar) and stars Willa Fitzgerald (Reacher), Kyle Gallner (Smile), Ed Begley Jr. (Better Call Saul), and Barbara Hershey (Black Swan).

Earlier this month, we were able to sit down with Mollner and Ribisi to learn more about how they created this legit film of the year candidate. The movie is jaw-dropping not just in terms of how the story plays out, but the visuals on screen as well.

During the course of our conversation, they talk about shooting on film, Ribisi's feature debut as Director of Photography, and their approach to colour, violence, and a...
