A Universal Monsters project is coming our way from Radio Silence, the filmmaking team that previously brought Ready or Not, Scream (2022), and Scream VI to the screen. Universal has scheduled an April 19, 2024 theatrical release date for the film, which was once going by the title Dracula’s Daughter and now going by the less informative title of Abigail. With the release date swiftly approaching, a promo video in which cast member Kathryn Newton (Freaky) gives a tour of the set has arrived online, while co-star Dan Stevens – who can be seen in this weekend’s release Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire – has given an interview where he described Abigail as extreme and hilarious. The set tour promo video can be seen in the embed above.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Steven said, “Those Radio Silence boys are so much fun. I’m slowly ticking off all of the guys from the V/H/S anthology.

Paramount+’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves episode two opens with a time jump forward of 10 years. The Civil War’s over, and Bass has settled into the life of a farmer alongside his beloved wife, Jennie.
(Spoilers ahead – you’ve been warned!)
Bass (David Oyelowo) and Jennie’s (Lauren E. Banks) farm is infested with locusts, and the crop is destroyed. The only option is to burn the field and hope for better luck next season. But in the meantime, the Reeves need to figure out how to make some money.
A possible answer to their financial worries arrives in the form of Deputy US Marshal Sherrill Lynn (Dennis Quaid). Sherrill explains that he and another deputy went to arrest a man named One Charlie on Choctaw land. One...

Indigenous filmmakers continue to make strides in Canada, building industry capacity on their own terms and telling stories that both honor their communities and reach out to global audiences. Toronto’s 2023 slate offers audiences and buyers vital, provocative, and — because we need it — hilarious world-premiering work from established creators and up-and-comers.
“Tautuktavuk (What We See)” is the latest from Isuma, the collective of Inuit-owned media companies best-known for Camera d’Or-winning “Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner” (2001). “Tautuktavuk” is written and directed by film veterans Carol Kunnuk and Lucy Tulugarjuk, who also play sisters helping each other heal from past and present trauma.
“Originally we were to be face-to-face in the same house,” Tulugarjuk, who is based in Montreal, tells Variety. “I was supposed to film in Igloolik (in Nunavut) over three seasons but when Covid hit, the world locked down. We had to put that reality — the southern pandemic versus the Arctic pandemic
— in the film.

When we last saw English vicar Will Davenport in Season 7 of PBS’ Grantchester, he’d just survived a near fatal stabbing, proposed marriage to widow and single mom Bonnie, said “I do,” and, perhaps more touchingly, exchanged “I love you”s with police detective Geordie Keating, his partner-in-crime-solving and new uncle-in-law. The final shot of the two men, now officially family, left fans with the kind of fuzzy feeling typically reserved for series finales. But praise be, prayers for an eighth season were answered. By the end of Sunday’s return, however,...

Writer-director Cody Lightning discussed his new film Hey Viktor!, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last week, in his new exclusive uInterview.
Lightning, who directed and starred in the film as himself, spoke about where the idea for the film originated with uInterview founder Erik Meers at our offices in Manhattan.
“The idea for Viktor happened I’d say probably 10 to 12 years ago,” he said. “Just as a joke amongst our friends, just drinking and being dorks. And my partner Sam and I, we got together and I was like, yo let’s make this s—.”
His friend Simon Baker co-stars in the movie with him. The two met on the set for Smoke Signals in 1998 – and much of Viktor revolves around the idea of making a sequel to the movie.
“After Smoke Signals came out me and Simon were both recognized heavily and so like we would go...

Oft-remembered for soundtracking “Valley Girl” with the classic cut “A Million Miles Away,” singer-songwriter Peter Case has a worldwide following, but veteran followers of the Los Angeles music scene may have spent the last 40 years or so trying to solve a puzzle about him. The riddle: When Case was a master of Beatlesque power-pop in his role as frontman of the Plimsouls, one of the great L.A. bands of the early ‘80s, was that the real him? Or is he an ageless acoustic-folkie who accidentally got swept up in rock’s new wave on the way to the hootenanny? Because, even with decades of hindsight, fans may still have a problem reconciling these two primary identities as being the same guy.
This is where documentaries like “Peter Case: A Million Miles Away” become valuable, taking on performers who’ve gone through reinventions without attraction elaborate media attention. In Case’s case,...
