Aaron Moorhead Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

As the year comes to a close, one of the biggest stories of 2023 so far is what we call Marvel TV Reckoning. Essentially, the story was Marvel Studios finally recognizing their TV process was broken; they had to stop and rethink it all.

If 2024 is the year American voters will experience a sense of déjà vu at the ballot box, it’s also likely to go down as the year that fans of indie genre cinema will feel it at the box office. From Sundance to SXSW, a surprising number of films have had fun with the concept of time, whether in terms of history literally repeating itself (Timestalker, Omni Loop, Desert Road) or presenting new angles on the same set of events (Little Death, It’s What’s Inside, and, to a certain degree, even the animated kid’s film 10 Lives).

The real story begins long before you know it in Desert Road, a very smart, trippy chiller that plays with the conventions of survival horror and takes them in a wholly unexpected and, ultimately, really quite moving direction. Making her directorial debut, Shannon Triplett shows a sophisticated grasp of genre dynamics, with a bold use of space — a stretch of the Mojave Desert doubling for Death Valley — that proves more and more gripping as the film’s mysteries unfold. At which point, its boundaries begin to blur, slipping between horror and sci-fi in a way that recalls a hypnotic blend of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s The Endless and Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls.

Very obviously trying to emulate the DIY approach of producers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, Michael Felker’s lo-fi mind f*ck “Things Will Be Different” is both a fascinating debut and somewhat derivation of the filmmakers’ body of work. Clearly influenced by the Benson/Moorhead aesthetic and style, and sometimes slavish to their approach in a way that makes the film feel fairly familiar, this tiny, one-setting film may bring up more questions than answers.

Caroline Brew editor The sci-fi thriller “Things Will Be Different” has released a first-look clip ahead of its SXSW Film & TV Festival world premiere. The film stars Adam David Thompson and Riley Dandy and premieres March 11 as part of the festival’s Midnight selection.

Marvel‘s Moon Knight have opened up about the show’s spectacular ending to episode four.The series focuses on Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), an unassuming gift shop employee who hasn’t yet realised why his life is so chaotic, based on a series of Marvel comics dating back to 1975.Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson described the cliffhanger as “a gift of the script” that came from “wanting to do the least expected thing and completely disorient the audience, while also being completely true to the character that we’ve built over four episodes.”In the interview, Isaac described the episode’s climax as “a total mind melt that happens when you realise the possibility that everything you’ve been watching is not what you thought it was.”Responding to a sequence of events that NME described as offering “a lot of answers, a lot more questions and an ending so weird it throws the rest of the series into complete chaos,” Moorhead said: “We’ve talked about this scene feeling like it’s underwater, not just because he’s been sedated, but because the entire audience has just been subjected to an entire worldview shift of what this show is.“Why is there a weird Indiana Jones knockoff movie right in the middle of Moon Knight?”Addressing one of the ending’s more surreal moments, Benson said: “It’s funny. We only had one or maybe two shots with this [hippo] character.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our revitalized TV and streaming podcast, co-hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez dig into Disney+’s latest Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Moon Knight.” Based on the Marvel Comic of the same name, the show follows a mild-mannered museum gift shop employee, Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac).
