Nicole Kidman

Check out the first look at Jason Momoa, Nicole Kidman, and Amber Heard’s costumes in ‘Aquaman.’

We’re going to need bigger Little Lies. Our first official photo from Season 2 of the awards-gobbling HBO miniseries has arrived, as Nicole Kidman invites none other than Meryl Streep to overload Monterey with star-power.

Nicole Kidman is a punk rocker and Elle Fanning is an alien in John Cameron Mitchell’s latest.

HBO has a vast bottom line to pump millions into Game of Thrones, but even they have limits. Company heads admit that pricey purchases like a Game of Thrones spinoff or even Big Little Lies Season 2 have burned serious holes in their pockets.

Lest you think the Big Little Lies Season 2 casting of Meryl Streep might eat into the budget, HBO won’t skimp on our second trip to Monterey. The whole of Season 1’s expansive cast has formally signed on for the Emmy-winner’s 2019 return, including our beloved wine-sloshed Laura Dern.

The 2018 SAG Awards winners are in, with ‘Three Billboards,’ ‘Wonder Woman,’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ taking home the gold.

The writing was already on those fabulous Monterey walls, but Big Little Lies is officially getting bigger. HBO confirms a second season of its Emmy-winning drama in the works with the original cast, and Andrea Arnold taking over the director’s chair.

You’d be hard-pressed to top the one-off, wine-soaked perfection of Big Little Lies, but HBO can’t help flying a little closer to that Monterey sun. A new report suggest Season 2 is officially a go, with production earmarked for 2018.

Yorgos Lanthimos delivered one of the best films of 2016 with The Lobster, a darkly comedic and comprehensive satire of relationships and dating, featuring a wonderful performance from a schlubby Colin Farrell. If you walked away from that film thinking that maybe the director of Dogtooth was softening a bit, Lanthimos returns this year — schlubby Colin Farrell in tow — with his darkest film yet. The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a predictably uncanny, pitch-black tragicomedy that pits a narcissistic surgeon against a sociopathic teenager for what is undoubtedly one of the most disturbing cinematic experiences of the year.

One of contemporary cinema’s most exciting directors is teaming up with one of our most consistently compelling actors. Following a trio of fantastic performances in Big Little Lies, The Beguiled and this winter’s The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Nicole Kidman has signed on to star in Destroyer, the upcoming L.A.-set crime thriller from director Karyn Kusama. Does Kidman have the best taste in directors or what?
