Rust Weapons Expert Sheds Some Unsurprising Light On The Tragic Shooting

Image
Questions are still arising from the shooting on the set of the period Western film "Rust" in October, in which actor Alec Baldwin fired a shot from an on-set weapon during rehearsal that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded the film's director, Joel Souza. The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office has been investigating the cause of the shooting and figuring out how a live round made it into a gun used on the production, and detectives have released an affidavit that answers few questions but spreads the blame around as the lawsuits start coming in against those in charge of production. According to the affidavit, weapons expert Seth Kenney of PDQ Arm & Prop, who supplied firearms for "Rust," told investigators on October 29 that he had an idea as to how live rounds got mixed in with dummy rounds. Kenney divulged to detectives that he came into possession of "reloaded ammunition" -- meaning a new round was fashioned from a previous

And Just Like That Trailer: Can Some Things Change?

"The more I live, the more I find that, if you have good friends in your corner, anything is possible." So begins the latest, and likely final, trailer before the premiere of the new "Sex and the City" revival, "And Just Like That..." Where we previously had a premiere month to look forward to, we now have an official date: Thursday, December 9. What's more, we're getting two episodes in a row. Both the first and second episodes of the revival are written and directed by series producer Michael Patrick King. Following this, episodes will air weekly on Thursdays until February when it wraps its ten-episode run. Or just the first season? As far as we know, this is a one-and-done situation, but I suppose stranger things have happened! The trailer itself offers some interesting and suggestive content to digest. Given that we're already prone to gleefully reading into things (AKA reading all of the very visible cues right in front of us, you d

Rupert Grint Joins Peter Weller, Tim Blake Nelson, And More In Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities

Image
"Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities" was already operating with a stacked cast when we reported on the show's revamp back in September , but the Netflix horror anthology has added another well-known name to its lineup. Rupert Grint (your favorite "Harry Potter" redhead ... Probably) is teaming up with Del Toro and getting in on all the spooky scary madness.  At this point, I don't know if there's anything Del Toro could do to make this show more or less appealing. He's bringing on a swath of talented directors and actors to create a bunch of episodes (or short films, basically) that cover a slew of horror sub-genres, and it all sounds like a win to me. If you're a horror fan, you're going to tune in to watch all of your favorite folks soak up the Netflix money. On the other hand, if you're new to the genre, there's just enough mainstream appeal and talent to make you press play.  Del Toro has hit the sweet spot. Now h

Jordan Peele's Nope Has Wrapped Production

Image
Good news, Jordan Peele fans. The acclaimed helmer of "Get Out" and "Us" has officially wrapped production on his third directorial feature, "Nope." There's still not much word on any plot specifics, but  Indiewire (by way of Variety ) reports that Hoyte van Hoytema served as the film's cinematographer and that he and Peele shot "Nope" on Kodak film, including 65mm in IMAX. Hoytema has an impressive list of credits that includes "Let the Right One In," "The Fighter," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," "Her," "Spectre," and "Ad Astra." In recent years, he has become more well-known as Christopher Nolan's regular director of photography, stepping in after Nolan and longtime collaborator Wally Pfister parted ways, and serving as the DP for "Interstellar," "Dunkirk," and "Tenet." He's also attached to Nolan's upcoming "Oppenheimer." &

15 Underrated Westerns You Need To Watch

Image
The western is a great genre but an odd one in nature. It covers a very specific era, and is filled with easily identifiable tropes and archetypes (including a few that haven't aged particularly well), and yet there is so much variety within it. This has, in turn, led to a vast number of iconic films. In fact, there are so many great westerns that some gems are always going to be overlooked. This is a list of the best underrated westerns that we think deserve a wider audience. This is not a list of the most underrated westerns we can think of, but rather a selection of excellent films that are rarely found on "best of all time" lists. Once you're done with the classics — "Stagecoach," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," "Unforgiven," and so on — make sure you check these other fantastic westerns out at the earliest opportunity. Day Of The Outlaw Best summed up as "High Noon" if Gary Cooper was also a baddie, this little se
