Batman film in the future.The Spider-Man and Doctor Strange And The Multiverse of Madness director recently opened up about his love for the caped crusader.“I’ve always loved Batman,” Raimi told Empire in a new interview. “If I ever saw the Batsignal up in the air, I’d come running.“If I heard that deep, gurgling laugh of The Shadow coming from the darkness, I would also tentatively step outside.”Reflecting on other characters that he’d like to make more films for, he added: “And Spider-Man would be ahead of Doctor Strange, but I don’t want to put him down the list!”Matt Reeves most recently put a new spin on the character with The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano and more.In a four-star review of The Batman, NME wrote: “Director Matt Reeves has mixed up gritty mob drama with film-noir detective thriller – and thanks to Dano’s ultra-creepy villain, some psychological horror too.“Most of the time it comes off brilliantly.

Colin Farrell and Q’Orianka Kilcher have reunited, nearly 18 years after they made their controversial movie The New World.

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is in negotiations for a green light to The Gentlemen, a series adaptation of the 2019 Guy Ritchie movie, sources said. Ritchie co-wrote the pilot script, will direct the first two episodes and will serve as an executive producer on the series, which Miramax TV is producing alongside Moonage in the UK.

The Batman was released to cinemas on March 4, and has been met with rave reviews after its opening weekend.

“The Batman” is a bona fide success, with critics and audiences alike raving about director Matt Reeves and star Robert Pattinson’s new vision for the Caped Crusader. But one aspect the fans are specifically praising – which is somewhat atypical for comic book movies – is the cinematography.

Despite being one of the most acclaimed and iconic American filmmakers to ever grace the medium, Terrence Malick remains a pretty big mystery to many film fans. This, largely, has to do with the fact that Malick is reluctant to do any sort of press and doesn’t make massive Hollywood blockbusters.

A4 presents Kagonada’s second feature in limited release, the latest in the distributor’s varied indie slate ahead of wide-release horror slasher X on 3/18 and sci-fi adventure Everything Everywhere All At Once on 3/25 — which is also opening SXSW Film Festival.

Still healing. Jason Momoa is grateful for fans’ continued support of his family amid his split from Lisa Bonet.

Don’t let the near three-hour running time scare you off, because Warner Bros.’ The Batman is gripping and primitive. Director, producer and co-scribe Matt Reeves joins us on Hero Nation today to talk about his direction for a Dark Knight Detective story, laced with horror, like we’ve near seen before in the history of the franchise.

Video-essayist-turned-filmmaker Kogonada made his feature film debut in 2017 with the lyrical and poetic “Columbus,” a film we loved so much we declared him one of the breakout talents of the year. Describing him at the time as “coming out of the gate fully, and beautifully formed,” we all waited with bated breath to see what his follow-up would be.

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards, Features EditorJustin H. Min graduated from Cornell University with degrees in government and English, and after dabbling in law and a stint in journalism, he had a “crisis” moment where he decided to pursue acting. A recurring role on the Netflix hit “The Umbrella Academy” as Ben Hargreeves proved so popular he became a regular.

The two features by the South Korean-born filmmaker and video essayist Kogonada – his auspicious debut “Columbus” and the new “After Yang” – are distinct for their richness in rare qualities. A meditative quiet presides. The pace is unhurried.

Clayton Davis As one Oscar season comes to a close, another opens (at least to speculation) with Matt Reeves’ newest take on the Batman franchise starring Robert Pattinson, Jeffrey Wright, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano and Colin Farrell.The director and co-writer (along with Peter Craig) delivers a dark take on the world’s greatest detective as he battles villains the Riddler, the Penguin and (sorta, but not really) Catwoman. Receiving positive reviews from critics, will this new take on the Caped Crusader land major Oscar attention —  including best picture — following in the footsteps of “Black Panther” (2017) and “Joker” (2019)?But with a limited sense of what the rest of 2022 will have to offer the cinematic landscape, there are certainly two spots well worth considering “The Batman” for recognition: cinematography and original score.
