Once upon a spacetime Steven Spielberg was attached to direct Interstellar.While the epic, Oscar-nominated 2014 sci-fi drama was ultimately helmed by Christopher Nolan, Spielberg — who was brought on board by producer Lynda Obst and astrophysicist Kip Thorne — had initially worked on the film for about a year before bowing out.“I was involved with Interstellar for a year … and I became fascinated with it. I spent a lot of time at the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena, California, talking to the scientists there and the aerospace engineers,” Spielberg told Empire magazine, per GamesRadar+.READ MORE: Star Wars Doesn’t Want…

Move over, Cambridge University — Pink Floyd were about to bring a different kind of education to the city: rock education. In the early 1960s, teenage friends Roger “Syd” Barrett, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour set their sights on taking their guitar skills to London. The city responded quickly. As a hub for art and music, it led Barrett and Waters to Nick Mason and Richard Wright. From there, Pink Floyd finally took shape, with its lineup complete. Among other British greats like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd carved out its own space with a penchant for…

This is an amazing example of a famous actor making his directorial debut but then completely stealing the film from under the feet of its two young leads. James McAvoy’s presence as a bloodcurdling record label boss injects a sense of hair-trigger violence into this otherwise featherlight tale of two aspirant Scottish rappers who decide to feign American accents as a way to fast-track their success. This is a dramatised version of Jeanie Finlay’s 2013 doc, The Great Hip Hop Hoax, focusing on two lovable bozos, Billy Boyd (Samuel Bottomley) and Gavin Bain (Séamus McLean Ross), aka Silibil N’ Brains, as they ride a sudden wave…

Lip Critic are one of New York’s most disruptive underground forces, blending industrial noise, rap cadence, post-punk tension and glitchy electronics into something aggressively contemporary. Fronted by Bret Kaser, the band thrive on conceptual ambition as much as sonic abrasion. Their upcoming album Theft World (out May 1 via Partisan Records) is reportedly inspired by the real-life theft of Kaser’s identity by a fan who believed the band’s music concealed clues to an elaborate scavenger hunt. That surreal premise fuels a record already teased by volatile singles like “Legs In A Snare” and “Jackpot,” positioning Lip Critic as master architects of chaos…

Oh, what could have been. It turns out the 2017 Power Rangers reboot could have sparked a rather large multi-movie franchise had the film not fizzled at the box office.Dacre Montgomery, who played Red Ranger Jason Scott in the film based on the iconic ‘90s teen superhero IP, recently revealed he and his castmates Naomi Scott, Becky G, Ludi Lin, and RJ Cyler had signed all on to make at least four Power Rangers movies.“It was my first job. It was literally the most formative period of my life. Like after wanting to be an actor for 10 years and…

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters expands on the MonsterVerse world, the next entry of which, Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, is slated for release in March 2027. The series delves into the mystery behind Monarch, the organization whose one-time priority was to search, hunt, and destroy Titans, hiding them from the world, into one that actively protects them. It’s a big hit on Apple TV… and on Prime Video. Yes, you read that correctly. The two giant streamers are playing nice in the sandbox, but the “how-and-why” of their partnership is far less interesting than the “why” Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is…

A PlayStation State of Play may be coming soon, and rumors are certainly growing that it’ll happen next week. Insider NatetheHate gave more credence to these rumors by stating he expected the State of Play to occur on April 16. PlayStation has been decidedly quiet on the matter, but a new official post is the best sign yet of when the next State of Play will be happening. Despite all of these rumors, there hasn’t been any official word that a State of Play is happening on April 16 (or at all). However, given the number of insiders who claim…

A confession: I am really not a fan of the French filmmaker Franoçois Ozon. He seems like a lovely chap. Literate, passionate, with a major crush on the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. But the thought of having to sit through another mediocre annual missive of ​“quality” coffee-table arthouse fare has become something of a dismal chore. Yet you’ve gotta stay in the game, as just like the proverbial stopped clock, Ozon does occasionally know what time it is. For this new film he’s taken on the loopy task of adapting Albert Camus’ 1924, Algeria-set novella, ​‘The Stranger’, and filming it like a laconic, monochrome perfume…
