Why Yes, the Westworld Cast Has Concerns About Data Privacy After Working on Season 4
HBO’s Westworld is set in a seemingly far-off future, one where a disaster at a high-tech theme park ends up having massive society-wide repercussions. The third season of the series focused on one-time “host” Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) attempting to bring down a malevolent artificial intelligence that’s using peoples’ personal data to determine the course of their entire lives, and Season 4 takes place in the aftermath of that struggle, in a world which thinks itself free of technology’s control… perhaps quite foolishly. In essence, like all stories about the future, it’s really about the present. Specifically our present-day relationship with the technology that helps us and connects us every day… but with its own costs. Speaking with Consequence during a recent virtual press event, the ...
The Leaders of Westworld Reap What They Sow in Season 4 Trailer: Watch
HBO is about to welcome us back to Westworld, and the theme park is not looking good. In the newly released trailer for Season 4 of the sci-fi drama, officially premiering on June 26th, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and her fellow Hosts continue to deal with their Human feelings — and as all humans know, it’s a pretty rocky ride. Perfectly set to Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day,” the cinematic Season 4 trailer begins calm enough — Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) takes a casual stroll, Caleb (Aaron Paul) drinks Sangria in the park (so to speak) — but chaos quickly ensues as the song swells. The Man in Black (Ed Harris) and Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) come closer to death, and as allegiances blur, Reed’s hex seems inevitable: the characters are all going to reap just what they sow. Watch the trailer for...
Here’s What Critics Are Saying About Robert Pattinson As The Caped Crusader In ‘The Batman’
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jonathan Olley™ & © DC Comics / The Batman The reviews are, and the critics and folks who had the opportunity to see The Batman are calling it a hit. Move over Christopher Nolan. It looks like The Dark Knight Trilogy will have some company at the top with the arrival of Matt Reeves’ 3-hour epic, The Batman. Outside of fans of the actor, Batman fans were skeptical when Warner Bros. first revealed that Robert Pattinson would be taking on the role of the Caped Crusader in the film that was initially supposed to star Ben Affleck. Most reviews about Reeves’ film based on the “Year One” and “The Long Halloween” Batman comics contain high praise for Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, and Paul Dano. Speaking on Pattinson’s performance, ABC News Peter Tavari...

Warner Bros. Reveals Closer Look at The Riddler and Penguin From The Batman
Superhero flicks are notoriously shrouded in mystery prior to release, but as Matt Reeves’ The Batman approaches its March 4th premiere, more details about the film have begun to emerge. Over the weekend, Warner Bros. shared new photos from the film, including closer looks at two of Batman’s biggest foes, Paul Dano’s Riddler and Colin Farrell’s Penguin. Dano’s Riddler gives off a Zodiac-killer vibe in this Batman adaptation, dressed head to toe in army green and covered up with a terrifying mask Penguin, meanwhile, maintains his classic purple suit. Other new photos show the villains in action, as the maniacal Riddler wields some duct tape and the Gentleman of Crime consults his paperwork. It’s not a lot to go on, but it’s still fun to see. Check out the press images below. Beyon...
Bryan Cranston, Liev Schreiber, and Jeffrey Wright Join Wes Anderson’s Next Movie
Not much has been unveiled about Wes Anderson’s next movie, but whatever it’s about, its cast is shaping up to be one for the history books. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Bryan Cranston, Hope Davis, Jeffrey Wright, and Liev Schreiber have all joined the already stacked cast of the eccentric filmmaker’s upcoming project. This marks Anderson’s first time working with Davis and Wright. Cranston and Schreiber both previously appeared in Isle of Dogs; Schreiber also stars in Anderson’s The French Dispatch, which will finally hit theaters October 22nd after being pushed back due to COVID-related delays. Of course, Anderson is known for working with the same actors time and time again, and this new film is no exception. Previously announced cast members include some of his top go-tos: Adrien Brody,...
What If…? Trailer Brings Chadwick Boseman, Robert Downey Jr. Back to Marvel: Watch
Marvel is knee-deep in the multiverse now that Loki and the Time Variance Authority have ripped the timeline to shreds. But this August, fans will be up to their neck in alternate realities, as the new trailer for Disney+’s What If…? reveals. The animated series presents alternate versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe we all know and love. What would happen if Peggy Carter was the first World War II super soldier? Or if Gamora took on the mantle of Thanos? Or if Tony Stark was saved from getting shrapnel in his chest… by Killmonger? All these strange possibilities will get the chance to play out in What If…? as the omnipotent alien The Watcher (voiced by Jeffrey Wright) guides us through the endless timelines. This is more than just a fun divergence from the “sacred timeline,...
Jeffrey Wright to Voice Batman in New Podcast Series
HBO Max is developing a Batman spin-off series for TV, and apparently they’re crafting a Batman miniseries for your ears, too. Say hello to Batman: The Audio Adventures, a new podcast by HBO Max starring Jeffrey Wright as the Caped Crusader. Don’t expect it to get too dark, however, because the roll call also includes comedic actors like Seth Meyers, Jason Sudeikis, and dozens more. Written and directed by Dennis McNicholas, Batman: The Audio Adventures is a multi-episode series that’s putting “a comedic take” on the Dark Knight, notes The Hollywood Reporter. It’s separate from DC’s multi-year deal with Spotify — which includes the new Batman Unburied podcast written by David S. Goyer — and as such it will hit WarnerMedia’s streaming service sometime in 2021. To help draw out the laug...
Ranking: Every James Bond Movie from Worst to Best
This feature originally ran in November 2015 and is being republished in honor of the late Sir Sean Connery. Despite its relatively rigid formulas, the past 60 years have seen 007 innovate and change with the times — from the swinging ’60s sophistication of Sean Connery to the wacky, winking camp of Roger Moore in the ’70s; from Timothy Dalton’s harder edge in the ‘80s to the slick, techno-infused commercialism of Pierce Brosnan in the ’90s. Even Daniel Craig’s macho navel-gazing has brought us a more sensitive, introspective Bond for a 21st century audience. To that end, us agents here at Consequence of Sound decided to provide our own collective assessment of the Bond films from worst to best, along with our dissection of what makes each entry unique. So sit back with your vodka martini ...
Robert Pattinson is The Batman in Nirvana-Soundtracked First Trailer: Watch
Warner Bros. closed out DC Fandome on Saturday night with their highly anticipated panel for Matt Reeves’ The Batman. As expected, the event saw our most comprehensive look at the forthcoming re-imagining, which stars Robert Pattinson as The Dark Knight. Gorgeously soundtracked to Nirvana’s dour “Something in the Way”, the film’s first trailer reveals a Gotham City awash in the kind of realism that once fueled Christopher Nolan’s universe. Yet unlike his trilogy, Reeves’ vision carries a more dystopian, punk rock edge that feels like a DIY deconstruction of Frank Miller’s Year One (though, according to Reeves, the story actually takes place in the second year of Bruce Wayne’s life as Batman). Story-wise, it appears there’s a creepy murder mystery that’s sending Jeffrey Wright’s Commis...
