Sorry Viggo Mortensen fans...

It’s worth a little risk to make movies unforgettable, just as long as everything goes according to plan.

It’s been eight years since his last feature film.

In a different world, Viggo could have been Logan, not Aragorn.

Cronenberg’s going back to his roots.

The co-director of ‘There’s Something About Mary’ and ‘Dumb and Dumber’ gets into dramatic territory with his new film about race in the 1960s.

A new report suggests the first season of Amazon’s billion-dollar ‘Lord of the Rings’ TV series will be an Aragorn origin story.

You know the old saying about how it’s an honor just being nominated? It is. An Academy Award nomination is a win no matter the final outcome on Oscar night. For one thing, it guarantees a major boost in profile and an upgrade in the caliber of roles an actor gets offered. There’s no way, for example, that any Oscar nominee will accept the sorts of roles you’re about to see below.

There are the sequels that the public demands, usually framed up in the final scene of their preceding installment, often by an eyepatch-clad Samuel L. Jackson. There are the sequels that are foisted upon us — who could have asked for The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature, which is a very real film? But the greatest sequel of all is the sequel we never even knew we wanted, your Magic Mike XXLs, your Mad Max: Fury Roads. So while it’s doubtful that legions of David Cronenberg superfans were demanding a follow-up to his 2007 gangster drama Eastern Promises, that may be what we’re getting anyway, and aren‘t we all the better for it?

Having already won raves at Sundance and secured a slot in the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section, Captain Fantastic will arrive this summer with a stellar pedigree. But movies have a funny way of playing a little differently in America’s neighborhood cineplexes than in huge auditoriums in France...
