Cregger Crafts an Original Avatar for Resident Evil, With Abrams Showing the Way
Zach Cregger explains he created an original character for his Resident Evil movie instead of retelling Leon’s story, using Austin Abrams as a relatable ‘avatar’ who navigates a nightmarish Raccoon City as a medical courier. The film, co-written with Shay Hatten and featuring a cast that includes Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Paul Walter Hauser and Johnno Wilson, adapts the 1996 Capcom game and opens in theaters on Sept. 18.
Jackman-Led Sheep Mystery Falls Short of Magic
The Hollywood Reporter’s review of The Sheep Detectives praises Hugh Jackman’s charisma and a top-tier voice cast but says the family murder mystery doesn’t quite gel: a clever pre-credits moment with the MGM lion aside, the photoreal sheep feel off, the tonal mix is too dark for kids and too silly for adults, and the film never delivers the magic its premise promises.
Whiteness as a Nightmare: a coming-of-age body-horror on belonging
Australian-born writer-director Amy Wang's Slanted uses a cosmetic-clinic twist to turn people of color white, turning the dream of an all-American ideal into a nightmare that probes immigrant families, identity, and the pressure to belong; a satirical yet visceral body-horror coming-of-age story that won the 2025 SXSW narrative feature grand jury prize.
Kennedy Center Melania Doc Premiere Plays to a Restricted Press
At a Kennedy Center premiere for Melania's documentary, mainstream outlets were barred from the screening, with only a handful of invited reporters admitted.

"Michael Mann's 'Ferrari': Behind the Box Office Struggle and Cinematic Vision"
Michael Mann's film "Ferrari" transcends the racing genre to explore the intimate and complex tale of Enzo Ferrari's (Adam Driver) personal life, marked by parental grief and unresolved tensions. The film delves into the tragic consequences of Enzo's relentless pursuit of victory, culminating in the catastrophic 1957 Mille Miglia crash that questions his responsibility for the racers' deaths. Mann juxtaposes Enzo's racing ambitions with his dark, grief-stricken home life, ultimately leaving the audience with a nuanced portrayal of a man caught between his professional drive and the emotional toll of his personal losses. The film avoids easy resolutions, instead presenting a layered character study within the framework of a racing narrative.
