Howard Shore won multiple Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globe awards for his score for the Lord of the Rings series. Performed originally by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra with choral contributions from the London Voices and London Oratory School Schola, the score has become a favorite for film screenings with live accompaniment. Now you can get a vinyl version of the soundtrack to set the...

Throughout Guy Ritchie’s Indiana Jones knockoff movie Fountain of Youth, characters repeatedly argue that the joy of adventure is more valuable than whatever prize they’re seeking. The “journey over destination” ethos isn’t a bad one if it offers surprises and opportunities for growth along the way, but this movie just aimlessly wanders toward a dull, predictable ending. Fountain of Youth actually starts off strong, with adventurer and art thief Luke...

A rumored Elden Ring movie became a little more of a reality on Thursday night when Bandai Namco announced that Alex Garland (Civil War, Ex Machina) was set to direct a film adaptation of the FromSoftware action role-playing-game for indie-studio darling A24. George R.R. Martin, who provided game director Hidetaka Miyazaki with a murky amount of mythological foundation for the original game, will serve as a producer on the film....

On May 25, the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards will present Attack on Titan with its inaugural Global Impact Award, celebrating anime that redefines pop culture and makes a lasting mark worldwide. After the negative reactions certain fans had toward the manga after its 2021 ending, and the way that response soured online conversation about the anime adaptation, it’s vindicating to see a formal recognition for the series, and the impact...

Marvel Studios has chosen to delay its next two high-stakes Avengers movies by seven months apiece. Avengers: Doomsday moves from May 1 to December 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars shifts from May 27, 2027 to December 17 of that year. Insiders told Deadline that the delay is just to accommodate the “gargantuan vision” of two films that will be “among the biggest ever made.” (Or maybe Marvel is scared...

With the release of Elden Ring spinoff Nightreign imminent and the announcement of an official film adaptation from Alex Garland (Civil War) and A24, it’s time to return to the Lands Between. But if you’ve bashed your head against some of the new areas’ hardest bosses too many times to count and need a bit of a break, why not check out a movie with similar vibes to the game?...

Marvel Studios took a breather in 2024, releasing only one major film (Deadpool & Wolverine) and a couple of live-action TV series (Agatha All Along, Echo). But the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to make a thunderous return in 2025. A whopping nine MCU feature films and TV series are slated to arrive in movie theaters and on Disney Plus this year. Believe it or not, that’s the calm before...

The long-awaited, long-teased live-action movie adaptation of Elden Ring is coming, and it’s got a big name attached to it: Alex Garland, the writer-director behind Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Civil War will helm the film. Garland is teaming up with production company A24, which is also backing the Death Stranding movie, for Elden Ring. Publisher Bandai Namco and A24 confirmed their Elden Ring movie is in the works on Thursday....

Early in Dragon Ball, Master Roshi destroys the moon, setting the stage for many more absolutely wild feats to come in the various Dragon Ball anime and manga series. Planets get blown up left and right, perhaps none more consequential than Frieza destroying Namek — which, of course, took longer to blow than the five minutes he threatened. It’s a dramatic climax to perhaps the best saga in the entire...

Back in 2010, when Cartoon Network first announced its plan to reboot the beloved 1985 animated TV series Thundercats, the first thought that went through my mind was, “That’s great! Do Blackstar next!” In 2014, when Boat Rocker Media announced its reboot of 1981’s Danger Mouse, same thing: “Huh, interesting, but do Blackstar next.” 2016’s Disney reveal about its reboot of 1987’s Duck Tales? “Rad. But… Blackstar?” And so it...
