After a rollercoaster trajectory of highs (“Wonder Woman,” “Aquaman”) and lows (“Justice League,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”), Warner Bros. is finally learning from its mistakes and ensuring a better future for its superhero tentpoles. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara confirmed the future of the studio’s superhero movies rests in individualized stories and not an interconnected movie universe a la the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“The upcoming slate, with…

“Acting is very easy for me,” Isabelle Huppert said, not bragging so much as stating a fact. Sitting in a small Manhattan conference room, she leaned back and shrugged her shoulders. The famously understated French star, whose “Greta” opens this month, is as honest and direct as she appears on screen — if also warmer than you might expect from her many film roles (especially on a sunny day off from “The Mother,” the harrowing Florian Zeller play she’ll be performing for the next two months). “Everything I…

For any indication of how much ground the upcoming FX limited series “Fosse/Verdon” will cover, take a look at Sam Rockwell’s hairline. As the actor behind the first name in the show’s title, Rockwell plays Bob Fosse from the beginning of his storied directorial career, all the way through his longtime personal and professional partnership with legendary performer Gwen Verdon (Michelle Williams).

The trailer for the series below shows the evolution of that pairing, through the origins of their romance, all…

Jonah Hill says he’s planning to spend more of his free time helping “people in pain” after being the victim of social media cyberbullying. The “Mid90s” writer-director posted to Instagram a comment in which a follower bullied him for being a “fucking poser pompous douchebag.” The commenter took issue over Hill making his directorial debut about skateboarders.

“You were a fat nerd when you were a kid and the fact that you think you were a skater isn’t being true to yourself,” the commenter wrote. “Embrace…

Hollywood’s forays into higher frame rates have not abated: after Peter Jackson pumped up his “Hobbit” franchise to screen in 48 frames-per-second, Ang Lee followed suit with a dizzying 120fps rate for his ambitious 2016 film “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.” While the standard remains 24fps, other productions have continued to dip their toes into the technology. Next up: Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky’s dazzling new documentary “Aquarela.” Captured at a rare 96fps, the film is compelled by its…

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “The Masked Singer” Season 1, including the finale.]

As an adaptation of the Korean show “King of Mask Singer,” which has higher turnover with their singers, “The Masked Singer” will need to do a better job of keeping its singing celebrities incognito in the second season. The show crowned the singer known as Monster its first-ever winner Wednesday night, and while the unmasking was a triumph for rapper T-Pain — a soulful-voiced Grammy winner who finally…

Two years after making his feature directorial debut on the beloved indie “Columbus,” video-essayist-turned-filmmaker Kogonada has finally lined up his followup feature. Deadline reports that the South Korean-born creator will next tackle a big screen adaption of the Alexander Weinstein-penned short story “Saying Goodbye to Yang.” The filmmaker will both write and direct the film, which will be released with the slightly tweaked title “After Yang.”

Colin Farrell will star in the film, which will be released…

There was a time when news of new “Arrested Development” episodes coming in two short weeks would light fires around the internet. Now, the series makes its way toward the finish line (for Season 5, anyway) with one more batch of fresh installments.

Netflix has released a trailer for the roller-coaster series’ Season 5, Part 2, an appropriately confusing designation for a show that’s still drifting along. There’s the usual Bluth family checklist: Gob appearing in a puff of smoke, Buster getting his hand…

If movies and TV are any indication, the future of online dating is very bleak. The streaming service that brought you the “Hang the DJ” episode of “Black Mirror” (which ended up being surprisingly hopeful!) is back with a story about how science and true love maybe weren’t meant to be mixed at all. The French series “Osmosis,” which premieres next month on Netflix, follows a group of participants in a new dating service that uses brainwaves to guarantee finding a soulmate. Some are eager participants…

[Editor’s note: The following post contains spoilers for “Dark Phoenix.”]

The upcoming “X-Men” tentpole “Dark Phoenix” doesn’t open until June, but that isn’t stopping writer-director Simon Kinberg from spoiling one of the most shocking events that takes place in the film: The death of Mystique. The mutant has been played by Jennifer Lawrence since 2011’s “X-Men: First Class” and will be killed off in “Dark Phoenix.” The superhero movie’s new trailer teases Mystique’s death at the start, but Kinberg flat…
