Preacherhas taken a huge leap forward inSeason 2, not only in terms of its story (now that the gang has finally hit the road) but with its style. Season 1, particularly the pilot, was very visually distinct (even when the narrative faltered), but it feels like the show has really embraced its aesthetic even more fully this year – and in even more gruesome ways. Today, AMC has also provided a look at more of what’s to come during the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, whereSeth Rogen, Dominic Cooper, Ruth Negga, Joseph Gilgun, Ian CollettiandGraham McTavish,along with moderatorChris Hardwick, gathered together in Hall H to talk about the show and debut a new trailer....

The series is yet to receive a premiere date. The title character earned her nickname due to her peculiar predilection for poison, but she also became famous due to the fact that, even though she was unable to conceive a child (an unthinkable “flaw” at the time), she managed to master the monarchy with an unpaid dowry and sustain her marriage with a man that was famously in love with someone else....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerhas a chance to make good on some new mythology that was introduced inStar Wars: The Force Awakensbut wholly ignored inStar Wars: The Last Jedi(for"reasons"). I’m speaking, of course, about the Knights of Ren, the badass masked warriors sporting various, specialized weapons who act as the elite fighting unit ofAdam Driver’s conflicted Kylo Ren. Introduced only in flashbacks of a brutal battle in heavy rain and a thin connective thread tied to the destruction of Luke Skywalker’s training temple, very little has been confirmed about the Knights of Ren’s identities, number, and part to play in Kylo’s arc....

The annals of unmade film projects from prolific directors is a bounty of couldabeens worth daydreaming over.Stanley Kubrickfamously has a sizable chest of unrealized projects(hisNapoleoncould’ve been an all-timer),as doesQuentin Tarantino,andGuillermo del Toro…and essentially every director that’s been working for more than a handful of years. One of the weirdest, most intriguing comes fromDavid Lynchand —yes—Steve MartinandMartin Short. TitledOne Saliva Bubble,the flick, written by Lynch and hisTwin PeakscollaboratorMark Frost,would have been a bizarre body-swapping comedy quite unlike anything Lynch has done before, yet it’s still full of his trademark dream-like surrealism....
