Netflix has officially confirmed the upcoming third season of Sweet Tooth will be the show’s final season. Season two launched on April 27, 2023 and season three could arrive as soon as 2024, given that it’s already finished filming and won’t be impacted by the writers’ strike.

“Season 3 is an Arctic story with exciting new adventures and what we hope will be a satisfying conclusion to this epic tale. Gus is going to see a side of the world and humanity that he didn’t see in Season 1 or 2,” revealed series creator, writer, director, and showrunner Jim Mickle.

The renewal announcement included details on new season three regulars. Rosalind Chao, who plays Zhang, and Amy Seimetz, who plays Birdie, have been upped to series regulars. Cara Gee (The Expanse) is joining the series as Siana, and newcomer Ayazhan Dalabayeva will play Nuka in the final season.

Crimes of the Future – Hulu

Set in a vague future, humans have long adapted to the synthetic environment they created, a world inundated by plastic waste. The human body has evolved and mutated; it no longer feels pain- except for Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a performance artist who refuses to adapt and whose body rebels by producing new non-functional organs regularly.

In the 94-year history of the Oscars, there is only one category, besides Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, that has never been won by a woman. That would be Best Cinematography, which honors a movie’s lighting, framing and camerawork.

Those are hardly gender-specific achievements, though the Oscars, for better or worse, are a reflection of the opportunities offered in the film industry. And as such, there are deep institutional reasons why this specific category has such a poor track record for women.

The trivia stat could change on Sunday night. Ari Wegner, the Australian cinematographer of Jane Campion’s nomination-leader “The Power of the Dog,” is nominated for her thoughtful, intuitive work on the film. TheWrap’s Steve Pond predicts that Wegner will take home the trophy, giving her the edge over “Dune” Dp Greig Fraser (the cinematographer of Campion’s previous movie “Bright Star”), who has scored the BAFTA and ASC precursors.

The winners of the Directors Guild of America Outstanding Directorial Achievement Awards for 2021 were announced tonight during the 74th Annual DGA Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. Jane Campion won the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film for The Power of the Dog.

Judd Apatow hosted the ceremony before an audience of more than 800 guests. Presenters included (in alphabetical order): Pamela Adlon, Stephanie Beatriz, Kathryn Bigelow, LeVar Burton, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Julie Delpy, Ernest Dickerson, Kirsten Dunst, Andrew Garfield, Leila George, Louis J. Horvitz, Ken Jeong, Natasha Lyonne, Michael Mann, Rita Moreno, Christopher Nolan, Jesse Plemons, Martin Scorsese, Sarah Snook, Jeremy Strong, and Chloé Zhao.

“You wanna talk about that piece of s–t?”

That’s how veteran actor Sam Elliott responded when podcast host Marc Maron brought up the critically acclaimed Oscar contender “The Power of the Dog” during a recent appearance on Maron’s “Wtf” podcast, kicking off a rant in which Elliott laid out how the film’s subversion of the Western genre and homosexual themes “rubbed me the wrong way,” as he put it.

“I didn’t like it anyway,” Elliott began. “I looked at it when I was down in Texas doing ‘1883,’ and what really brought it home to me the other day… there was a full-page ad in the LA Times and there was a [clip] and it talked about ‘the evisceration of the American myth,’ and I thought, ‘What the f—k? What the f—k?’ This is the guy that’s done Westerns forever. The evisceration of the American West,...

At this point, do we even remember what a normal Oscar season is supposed to look like?

After last year’s elongated, pandemic-wracked, nearly all-virtual season, this was supposed to be the year the Oscars got back to semi-normal. The Academy scheduled the Oscars for the end of March out of what seemed to be an abundance of caution, more theaters reopened and more movies began to play theatrically… and then everything stopped again.

And now, it’s the beginning of February, most awards shows are going virtual and 9,4000 Oscar members have voted for films that most watched on their TVs or computers (or maybe even phones). Nominations will be announced this Tuesday, and then it’ll be more than a month before voters can even begin to cast final ballots for movies that one would hope they’ve already seen.

So just as it wasn’t normal last year,...

Just a few weeks after The Harder They Fall, Netflix gives us another sprawling Western. Ah, but there are a few big differences. The West is still pretty wild, though the entry is a tad “milder’. The former was filled with desperate shoot-out and showdowns, I don’t believe anyone in this story “throws down” on anybody, other than some “target practice. Yes, there’s lots of violence but it’s more of the verbal and psychological nature. Oh, and the new one is set nearly fifty years after Fall, so them “new-fangled” cars are spookin’ the horses. Its gorgeous cinematography highlights the “wide-open spaces” which helps to amplify the big distance between the two brothers, with one of them channeling The Power Of The Dog.

Netflix has debuted a teaser trailer and artwork for Jane Campion’s upcoming ‘The Power of the Dog’ featuring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Severe, pale-eyed, handsome, Phil Burbank is brutally beguiling. All of Phil’s romance, power and fragility is trapped in the past and in the land: He can castrate a bull calf with two swift slashes of his knife; he swims naked in the river, smearing his body with mud. He is a cowboy as raw as his hides.

The year is 1925. The Burbank brothers are wealthy ranchers in Montana. At the Red Mill restaurant on their way to market, the brothers meet Rose, the widowed proprietress, and her impressionable son Peter. Phil behaves so cruelly he drives them both to tears, revelling in their hurt and rousing his fellow cowhands to laughter – all except his brother George,...

Netflix shared new first-look photos from the upcoming live-action “Cowboy Bebop” series, also setting a November premiere date for the John Cho-led series.

An adaptation of the beloved anime series of the same name, “Cowboy Bebop” is described as “an action-packed space Western about three bounty hunters, aka “cowboys,” all trying to outrun the past.”

Cho stars in the series as Spike Spiegel, alongside Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black and Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine. Per Netflix, the trio forms “a scrappy, snarky crew ready to hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals — for the right price.”

The series will premiere on the streaming service on Nov. 19. Check out the first-look images below.

Netflix is co-producing with Tomorrow Studios, with Netflix overseeing the show’s physical production. Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio will serve as executive producers and showrunners, with Watanabe consulting.

Film at Lincoln Center announces Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog as the Centerpiece selection for the 59th New York Film Festival, making its New York premiere at Alice Tully Hall on October 1.

Campion reaffirms her status as one of the world’s greatest—and most gratifyingly eccentric—filmmakers with this mesmerizing, psychologically rich variation on the American western. Adapted from a 1967 cult novel by Thomas Savage that was notoriously ahead of its time in depicting repressed sexuality, The Power of the Dog excavates the emotional torment experienced at a Montana cattle ranch in the 1920s. Here, melancholy young widow Rose (Kirsten Dunst) has come to live with her sensitive new husband, George (Jesse Plemons), though their lives are increasingly complicated by the erratic, potentially violent behavior...

Netflix has released the brand new teaser trailer for the upcoming series Sweet Tooth

Based on the DC comic book series by Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth is executive produced by Jim Mickle, Beth Schwartz, Robert Downey, Jr., Susan Downey, Amanda Burrell, and Linda Moran.

Ten years ago “The Great Crumble” wreaked havoc on the world and led to the mysterious emergence of hybrids — babies born part human, part animal. Unsure if hybrids are the cause or result of the virus, many humans fear and hunt them. After a decade of living safely in his secluded forest home, a sheltered hybrid deer-boy named Gus (Christian Convery) unexpectedly befriends a wandering loner named Jepperd (Nonso Anozie). Together they set out on an extraordinary adventure across what’s left of America in search of answers— about Gus’ origins, Jepperd’s past, and the true meaning of home. But their story is full of unexpected allies and enemies,...

“A Thousand Cuts,” a film that chronicles how Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte uses social media to spread disinformation, was Friday named the best international feature at New Zealand’s Doc Edge International Documentary Film Festival. The festival is being held online only due to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak.

In an unforeseen real-world twist, earlier this week saw the conviction of Maria Ressa editor of a Philippines online newspaper that has been critical of Duterte, and the core subject of “Cuts,” on cyber libel charges. Many media and human rights organizations have criticized the prosecution as trumped up, politically-motivated and illogical given that the offence occurred before the law existed.

“Elementa” from director Richard Sidey was named as best New Zealand feature. It is a visual meditation of all that is wild, that was filmed over five years on seven continents. “’Elementa’ stands out as a film that pushes...

During Comic-Con amidst a number of higher profile trailers released MTV unveiled a trailer into the world of their Shannara Chronicles, an upcoming show based on Terry Brooks’ forever bestselling epic fantasy series that I have to admit took me by surprise.

Now, MTV has released some more images from the story that fans of Brooks read in The Elfstones of Shannara, the second book in the series, skipping over The Sword of Shannara, which I think is not only a good move, but an obvious one to make, even if only not to have John Rhys-Davies running around in New Zealand again in a story that has self-admitted ties to The Lord of the Rings.

As I expressed when I first saw the trailer I think it was a good move simply because both Elfstones and the following book Wishsong of Shannara are simply better stories and offer more...

Starz must be feeling mighty confident about its new series Spartacus: Blood and Sand. The pay cabler has renewed the big budget action adventure for a second season — a whole month before the premiere of season 1. The 13-episode second season will begin production early next year. In honor of the early pickup, I present you with this exclusive (and totally Nsfw) first look image from season 1, debuting Jan. 21... Image Credit: Kirsty Griffin/Starz...

Ok, here’s the really surprising thing: Aliens In The Attic isn’t entirely awful.

Since it didn’t press screen in New York (always an omen suggesting someone at the studio has perceived quality control issues), I rushed to the very first theatrical unspooling at 10:30 a.m. Friday on 42nd Street and paid my money to be among the first in my neighborhood to see today’s Sf comedy. It was a little too early for hot buttered popcorn but the air conditioning was nice. The seat was comfy. There was a good amount of legroom. And then the movie.

Briefly, four aliens not from this Earth have landed—on the roof and then into the attic of a summer rental mansion—as vanguard to a massive force from the planet Zirconia (or was it Zirconium, I’m confused) that will be invading by the picture’s end.
