We’re neck deep in awards season, and Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” has already raked in three Golden Globes. The film is receiving criticism after an editor admitted the filmmakers used AI to tweak stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones’ Hungarian dialogue. As well as to help create a sequence towards the end. A few hours after this news broke, the director responded backing up certain claims while dismissing others. AI In Dialogue “The Brutalist” centers around Hungarian refugees who emigrate to the U.S. after World War II. As you can imagine this means that most of the dialogue is Hungarian.…

The Supreme Court has made a landmark decision that will forever change the landscape of digital media. It has ruled, unanimously, to uphold a law that will cause the video platform TikTok to be banned nationwide on Sunday. This is despite promises by President-Elect Donald Trump to rescue the wildly popular app.  The ruling, issued on January 17th, claims the law in question does not violate the First Amendment, because the law is against TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, not its right to free speech. The court believes ByteDance has provided user data to the Chinese government, and/or has a…

A recent casting announcement has cleared up some lore around the Wes Craven-created “Scream” franchise. In Radio Silence’s 2022 “Scream” reboot Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) makes two references to a husband named Mark.

It turns out, Joel McHale (“Community,” “Animal Control”) will be playing Sidney’s husband Mark Evans in the upcoming film. McHale will be joining legacy cast members Courteney Cox and Mason Gooding as Gale Weathers and Chad…

Last year, director Fede Alvarez bought us “Alien: Romulus,” a film designed to take place between 1979’s “Alien” and 1986’s “Aliens.” It also rolled in later franchise entries with references to 1997’s “Alien: Resurrection,” 2012’s “Prometheus,” and the 2014 video game “Alien: Isolation.” Creating a movie heavily steeped in the mythology of its predecessors, while introducing new characters and its own variations. Alvarez says he will take a different path if a sequel to “Romulus” ever comes to fruition.  Alvarez’s Follow-Up “Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] and I are working on that right now,” Alvarez told Empire. “We’re excited about where it…

Apple TV+’s hit series “Severance” is no stranger to odd concepts but its latest marketing stunt may take the cake. The show set up an office inside of a glass box in the middle of New York City’s bustling Grand Central Station. While the enclosure was originally populated by unknown employees for the ficticious company Lumon Industries. Series stars Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”), Patricia Arquette (“Gonzo Girl”), Britt Lower (“Darkest Miriam”), Zach Cherry (“Fallout”), and Tramell Tillman (“Sweethearts”) eventually took over the faux office. All under the watchful eye of director Ben Stiller (“Zoolander”), to promote the upcoming second…

Marvel Studios’ upcoming show “Daredevil: Born Again” is slated to hit Disney+ in under two months. While the streamer has released some footage, an official trailer hasn’t materialized yet. Star Vincent D’Onofrio, who is reprising his role as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, explained why it’s been delayed. In a post on X (formally Twitter) about the show a commenter asks “Trailer?” To which D’Onofrio responds, “Postponed because of LA fires. It’s coming.” And the state of California having several out-of-control wildfires is more than enough of a reason to delay a trailer. As it stands, the show is still set…

Investigators in St. Louis are looking into a string of high-dollar thefts from local restaurants. Their target? Used cooking oil. The leftover grease from these restaurants can be processed into biodiesel, jet fuel, and feed for cows/chickens. With more consumers ditching fossil fuels each year, this used grease can now go for a pretty penny. Which is apparently what inspired thieves in St. Louis, IL to go after the substance. In November, two men were caught on camera backing up a truck, and taking all the grease from a restaurant’s tanker. These tankers are usually stored by dumpsters outside since restaurants…
