A couple of things have caught our eye in February’s Netflix UK line-up, first, the German dystopian sci-fi Tribes of Europa. After the success of sci-fi series Dark, the streaming service invested in a bunch of new German-language series, including the mega-successful historical Barbarians. Tribes was among them, and tells the story of a group of siblings in 2074, separated after a global disaster that leaves Europe riven by warring factions. Also sounding like a good time is South Korean comedy Space Sweepers, about a spaceship crew tasked with cleaning up intergalactic trash.

There’s also the arrival of Parks and Recreation in full – perfect for a lockdown rewatch, new stand-up, all of The Vampire Diaries, and Jason “It’s a megalodon” Statham in The Meg.

We’ll update this list with new arrivals as they’re confirmed.

The House Arrest of Us

Photo: ‘Pinocchio’/01 Distribution ‘Pinocchio’: A Fairytale Classic ‘Pinocchio’, an 1883 children’s novel written by Italian author Carlo Collodi, is a touchstone of world literature. Its influence can be seen in films from ‘A.I.: Artificial Intelligence’ to ‘Shrek’. Even Rian Johnson’s recent whodunnit ‘Knives Out’ references the classic tale, in the form of a heroine who vomits whenever she tells a lie. ‘Pinocchio’ has become quite a hot commodity in recent years. The Walt Disney Company, whose definitive 1940 adaptation is perhaps the only version with which American audiences are intimately familiar, has a live-action update in the works, with Tom Hanks playing Geppetto and uncanny valley-enthusiast Robert Zemeckis directing. Meanwhile, a Jim Henson Company production directed by Guillermo del Toro, planned since 2008, has been announced by Netflix for a 2021 release. Appropriately for a story considered to be a hallmark of Italian literature, an Italian production has beaten both of

Ever since its creation in 1981, Steven Spielberg‘s production company, Amblin Entertainment, has been responsible for some of the most critically and commercially successful films of all time. The logo takes its likeness from Spielberg’s classic family sci-fi film E.T. The Extraterrestrial, which marked the third motion picture Amblin produced in its illustrious 40-year existence.

But while Amblin is often associated with PG-rated family fare, the production company also made several prestigious dramas, such as Munich, Flags of Our Fathers, Minority Report, A.I., Lincoln, Bridge of Spies, and many more.

One day, you will die. It may not be tomorrow––as the characters in Amy Seimetz’s vivid, unsettling new feature She Dies Tomorrow believe––but it’s a universal truth for us all. To celebrate the film’s release, or at least cope with corporeal impermanence, we’ve shared our favorite films that explore mortality.

A handful of the below selections may comfort you as we collectively march into the sweet embrace of death, others provide a distressing glimpse at our body’s demise, and some explore all that humanity can offer––a feat which poses the question of what one is doing with their time before shuffling off this mortal coil.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg)

In thinking about mortality, it’s often zooming out to the big picture and mysteries of our galaxy that can induce the most existential of questions. Steven Spielberg understood this with grand

‘Sex Education’ star Mackey will play Emily Brontë for Frances O’Connor’s directing debut.

Rising UK stars Emma Mackey, Joe Alwyn, Fionn Whitehead and Emily Beecham have boarded Emily, Frances O’Connor’s directorial debut about the early life of author Emily Brontë.

Embankment Films has launched worldwide sales on the project, which will shoot in Yorkshire – Brontë’s home county in the UK – in the first quarter of 2021. A 2022 release is being targeted.

O’Connor, whose credits as an actor include A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Mansfield Park, has written the script, which follows the Wuthering Heights author’s journey

Emma Mackey, Joe Alwyn, Fionn Whitehead and Emily Beecham have boarded Emily Brontë’s origin story “Emily,” helmed and scripted by Frances O’Connor. Embankment has launched worldwide sales on the film.

In her script, O’Connor has imagined the transformative journey to womanhood of Brontë – a rebel and a misfit, and author of “Wuthering Heights.”

O’Connor, known for her extensive acting career including “Mansfield Park,” “Bedazzled,” “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” and “The Missing,” makes her directorial debut.

O’Connor said: “Emily Brontë’s work and words are full of passion, feeling, violence, and fierce intelligence. In creating an imagined life for Emily, she will live again for our audience. Her story is about a young woman daring to form herself, to embrace her true nature, despite the consequences. Emily is, in fact, a love letter to women today, especially young women, a calling to them to challenge themselves to connect

Marty Cohen, a longtime editor and post-production chief who worked on more than a dozen Steven Spielberg films for Amblin and DreamWorks and whose producing credits include such hits as The Hunger Games and Godzilla, has died. He was 67.

An Amblin spokesperson said Cohen died May 17 of natural causes after a long battle with heart disease.

Marty, or Mendy, as he was affectionately called by his friends, abandoned studies in geology for a degree in communications from Queens College. He eventually landed a job with a courier company that offered to relocate him if he would help set up its offices in Los Angeles.

Cohen left the Big Apple and after being in L.A. for only a year, he quit for two reasons: one, he didn’t like working for a courier company; and two, it wasn’t movies.

He began his four-decade career in movies as a P.

I had Minority Report wrong. When you look at it in the context of Steven Spielberg‘s overall filmography, the film’s ending seems like it follows in the footsteps of movies like Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, and even A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Spielberg is a director who doesn’t really go for ambiguous endings and wants to give the audience a feeling of hope even in the face of humanity’s darkest impulses, and so …

Warner Bros, which nearly 20 years ago released A.I. Artificial Intelligence, is bringing futuristic tech tools into its everyday operations, enlisting a customized AI platform recently introduced by La tech firm Cinelytic.

The companies announced an agreement Wednesday during CES in Las Vegas, where WarnerMedia has a significant presence this year. It is leveraging HBO’s Westworld to plant a flag at the tech confab. Two of its top executives spoke Tuesday about the May launch of streaming service HBO Max.

Cinelytic, which has gotten buy-ins from other film entities since rolling out its new project management system last year, will aim to “inform decision making around content and talent valuation to support release strategies.” Its system will be used “throughout the content value chain,” according to the official announcement.

According to Cinelytic, the sheer amount and scope of data and insights in its platform will “reduce executives’ time spent on low-value,

John Williams is the composer behind the iconic music from movies that include Jaws, Superman, the Indiana Jones films, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Home Alone, Hook, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, the Harry Potter films, and so many more, but maybe the most recognizable and beloved are the themes to the Star Wars film franchise. He’s been composing the musical scores since the first film in 1977, and is composing the music for the final film, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

As he closes the book on this final chapter, he spoke with CBSNews about the evolution of the music and how the twist that took the fans by surprise also necessitated Williams change his musical trajectory for the films. But he’s such a pro, he took it in stride and made it work. Although when he created the score for the first film,

At just 19 years old, Joey King earned an Emmy nomination for Best Movie/Mini Actress for her role in the Hulu anthology series “The Act.” But she’s actually not the first member of her family to make the cut at the Emmys. Her older sister Hunter King has two trophies on her mantel for her work in daytime TV as Summer Newman on “The Young and the Restless.”

The King sibs are young adults now, but they have been acting since they were children. Hunter got her start in the 2000s with guest-starring roles in shows like “Roswell,” “Dexter” and “ER,” in addition to a big-screen appearance in Steven Spielberg’s “A.I. Artificial Intelligence.” She got a big break in 2012 (when she was still a teenager) by joining the cast of “Y&r” as Summer Newman, the daughter of Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and Nick (Joshua Morrow).
