[INTERVIEW]: Dead Man’s Wire Brings a Forgotten True Crime Story Back to the Big Screen
Some true stories are so unbelievable they feel fictional until cinema gives them new life. Dead Man’s Wire , directed by Gus Van Sant , is one of those films. Based on the shocking real-life hostage crisis that unfolded in the 1970s, the film revisits a moment in American history when one man hijacked the airwaves to make himself heard. Starring Bill Skarsgård , Colman Domingo , Da’Vine Joy Randolph , and legendary screen presence Al Pacino , the film also features a ground

[INTERVIEW]: "NIGHT PATROL" Sinks Its Teeth In: Cast and Director Ryan Prows Break Down a Bold New Take on Vampire Horror
Some films wear their influences proudly. Others weaponize them. Night Patrol , the latest genre-bending vampire thriller from director Ryan Prows , does both. Drawing inspiration from gritty street-level dramas and classic vampire mythology, Night Patrol feels like End of Watch colliding with Colors and The Lost Boys , creating something familiar, ferocious, and entirely its own. During our recent conversation with the cast and filmmaker, it became clear that Night Patrol
