Gregg Goldstein Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress Patricia Arquette was cast in her latest, most challenging role by an unlikely group: her colleagues. “For many years, the crews I worked with were always saying, ‘You should direct,’” Arquette says of helming her first feature, the Toronto world premiere “Gonzo Girl.” “Or actors in a scene would say, ‘Was that good? Should I ask for another take? Do you think there’s anything I should try?’ You get to a point where you’ve learned a lot about the nuts and bolts of how filmmaking works, and a lot of directors just aren’t as familiar with the process of acting as an actor is.” The star, who’ll be feted with TIFF’s Share Her Journey Groundbreaker Award on Sept.

McKinley Franklin editor Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk were tired of the garbled Gen Z stereotypes plastered about modern Hollywood — so, they created their own narrative in “Hell of a Summer.” “Our number one conversation was how annoying it is to see new teen movies and how badly our age group is represented,” says Wolfhard. “And we’re like, ‘Why don’t we just do it?’” And so they did. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival Sept.

That’s why I love the show,” Harbour, 47, said in a new interview with Discussing Film.“I think it’s a great show, even if I wasn’t in it.

David Harbour has nothing but admiration for his “Stranger Things” co-star Noah Schnapp.

Finn Wolfhard isn’t holding back on his admiration for castmate Noah Schnapp, who revealed his sexual identity in a TikTok post last month.

Byler forever! Finn Wolfhard heard about his Stranger Things costar Noah Schnapp coming out as gay — and he couldn’t happier for him. 

Bring on the slime! The Kids’ Choice Awards are back — and it is going to be a star-studded event.

Stranger Things star responded to criticism from co-star Millie Bobby Brown on his kissing skills. In case you forgot: Last year, Brown took a for Vanity Fair about Wolfhard's kissing skills, and the results were brutal. In the first season of Stranger Things, Mike (Wolfhard) and Eleven (Brown) formed a bond that felt like a little more than friends.

Julianne Moore is an Academy Award winner. But before that, she still had to endure barbs about how she looked.

There’s a terrific tension at the center of Jesse Eisenberg’s directorial debut, “When You Finish Saving The World,” and it seems to do with liberal ideology, identity, projection, and the push and pull fractures parents have with their teenage children and vice versa. Written and directed by Eisenberg and starring Julianne Moore and “Stranger Things” stars Finn Wolfhard, “When You Finish Saving The World” essentially is a comedic family drama about a mother and son who are trying to fill the gaps with how they no longer fit with other people.

once thought “kissing sucks” after sharing her first smooch with costar …now she says it might just be him.Brown recently took part in Vanity Fair’s lie-detector test series and revealed that filming kissing scenes with Wolfhard as Eleven and Mike Wheeler has not gotten any easier over the years. “You exclaimed, ‘Kissing sucks!’ after your first kiss with Finn Wolfhard,” the interviewer reminded Brown. “Is Finn just a lousy kisser?” “He is,” Brown responded…and, according to VF’s resident polygraph expert, she was telling the truth.Now 18 years old, Brown shared her first kiss with Wolfard, 19, when the pair filmed the season one finale of Stranger Things back in 2016.

Millie Bobby Brown jokingly confirmed that her Stranger Things co-star Finn Wolfhard is a "lousy kisser" during a lie detector test. The Enola Holmes actress had her first-ever kiss when she filmed her character Eleven's romantic smooch with Finn's Mike in the first season of Stranger Things back in 2016. When she sat down for Vanity Fair's lie detector test series on Thursday, Millie was asked if she said "kissing sucks" after filming the moment because her co-star was "a lousy kisser".

Honest, just like Eleven! Millie Bobby Brown opened up about smooching Stranger Things costar Finn Wolfhard on screen — and claimed the actor is “a lousy kisser.”

How does a filmmaker reinvent stories told time and time again? It’s a challenge Guillermo del Toro undertakes with the legendary character Pinocchio. Far from the fantasy set by Disney — or flawed direct-to-video entries from others — his imaginative take on Carlo Collodi’s 1883 tale promises reinspection of a classic.
