How Netflix S Beckett Breaks Away From The Tenet Action Hero

You could be forgiven, going into the new Netflix thriller, Beckett, for expecting a vibe not dissimilar to John David Washington’s last big movie, Tenet. Like Tenet, Beckett is a conspiracy thriller about someone who finds themselves out of their depth, with chase scenes and gunplay aplenty, and Netflix probably doesn’t mind you making those associations when you’re choosing what to watch. But while Tenet was a film that very much harked back to classic Bond movies, Beckett’s inspirations are quite a bit older....

How Stranger Things Created Its Iconic Vecna

From Game of Thrones’ chilling Night King to The Witcher’s creatures and corpses, makeup effects artist Barrie Gower has been behind some of television’s most indelible supernatural creations. When Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer approached Gower to work on the show’s fourth season, however, they had another, less expected, example of his recent TV classics in mind. “They had just seen some of our work in Chernobyl for HBO and they were fans of our work doing the radiation burn victims,” Gower tells Den of Geek about the Duffers’ pitch....

How The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It Secretly Ties Into Annabelle

Set in 1981, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It centers around the real case of Arne Johnson, a young man who murdered his landlord and claimed that he was possessed at the time.

How The Falcon And The Winter Soldier Finally Gives Sharon Carter Her Due

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has its fair share of issues: The bizarrely uneven pacing, the mixed messages about capitalism and propaganda, the fact that Flag Smashers is literally the stupidest name for a villain supergroup in history even if they do exist in the comics.

How The Halo Tv Series Changes Master Chief And The Franchise S Timeline

While Halo has experimented with live-action ads and web series in the past, it has never attempted a production of this scale. But that’s not for lack of trying. In 2005, Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox partnered with Microsoft to adapt Halo into a movie, with Neill Blomkamp directing a script written by Alex Garland and Peter Jackson producing. The film project didn’t work out. Microsoft next turned to director Steven Spielberg to executive produce a TV series with his Amblin Television production arm in 2013....

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Episode 1 “Grounded” Living and laughing often go in the same sentence. That’s the case with Star Trek: Lower Decks, which just kicked off its third season. Laughter has a purity of spirit. If something can’t survive a little ribbing, then it’s not worthwhile and can’t hold up to the serious criticisms in life. “When I was growing up, the way we expressed our love for something in my family was to make fun of it,” Star Trek: Lower Decks creator and showrunner Mike McMahan tells us....

Had it not been for my Android phone, I wouldn’t have been able to roam freely in many cities I’ve been to. And if you’re inside a car, going to unknown places can be annoying, with frequent stoppages asking for directions. Not only does it extend the travel time, but bypassers can also be pretty inaccurate. And then there is safety concern at night and deserted places. One more objective of sharing location is to keep our dear ones informed....

How We Use Dystopian Landscapes To Tell Very Human Stories

When we think, we escape our biological bodies. We hardly ever reflect on it, but from the day we’re born until we collapse into ash – that’s all we are. Organic machines, birthed in balance with an environment we spend our lives harvesting. No matter how much we sometimes take it for granted, we can’t survive without the land, sea, and sky working in perfect harmony, yet we all likely face a problematic future where the world will look quite different....

Inside The Spine Of Night The Must See Adult Animated Fantasy

Also starring Richard E. Grant, Patton Oswalt, Betty Gabriel, and Joe Manganiello, The Spine of Night is an adult cartoon with responsible themes. Barbarians and librarians vie for power while necromancers try to restore balance to a bent and broken world. Time flies by with nods to Ridley Scott’s Legend and John Boorman’s Excalibur, if fed through the meat grinder of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead. In their first collaboration, animator Morgan Galen King (Exordium, Max Thrust), and filmmaker Philip Gelatt (Love, Death + Robots, Europa Report) merge hallucinogenic cult classics with modern sensibilities in a full-frontal assault of brutal nostalgia....
