Jennifer Lawrence, who recently vacationed with the comedian Amy Schumer, is now working on an as yet untitled film with her. Maybe you’ll see it, maybe you won’t, but consider this: There’s not really boys in it.

In celebration of Halloween, we took a shallow dive into the horror subgenre of evil-child horror movies. Weird-kid cinema stretches back at least to 1956’s The Bad Seed, and has experienced a resurgence recently via movies like The Babadook, Goodnight Mommy, and Cooties. You could look at this trend as a natural extension of the focus on domesticity seen in horror via the wave of haunted-house movies that 2009’s Paranormal Activity helped usher in. Or maybe we’re just wizening up as a culture and realizing that children are evil and that film is a great way to warn people of this truth.

Stonewall was a travesty, and Looking was canceled to many gay men’s dismay, but gay pop culture is thriving in 2015, provided you know where to find it. This year gave us Peter Strickland’s brilliant The Duke of Burgundy. (On the trans side of things many would also use the word “brilliant” to describe Sean Baker’s trans sex-worker comedy Tangerine, though the love people profess for that film boggles my mind.) Uptown, MoMA is currently running Stephen Winter’s exploration of race, sexuality, and exploitation, Jason and Shirley, while downtown at the IFC Center, Sebastián Silva’s gay-not-gay Nasty Baby opens tomorrow.

One night in Berlin, a young woman from Spain meets a group of local guys while leaving a nightclub. She clicks with one of them, and so she decides to hang out with the group. Instead of being repelled when they attempt to break into a car that isn’t theirs, she’s enticed. They kick off a wild night that involves ominous drug dealers, heist, baby-theft, peril at almost every turn, and more partying. And it’s all captured in one single take.

Sony Pictures Classics is proud to announce its new acquisition Miles Ahead, a Don Cheadle-directed biopic of the iconic singer Miles Davis, who for reasons we can’t discern appears to be holding some sort of valved blowing device in the photo above.

Tasteful as always, the final chapter in the franchise that is the cinematic equivalent of chewing up food and showing it to people before swallowing is out May 22.

Woody Allen, still standing accused of sexually abusing his adoptive daughter, still making movies with Academy Award nominees. In his next film, Irrational Man, Emma Stone, his latest muse/obsession, plays a college student who falls for her professor (Joaquin Phoenix). Gotta love those relevant power dynamics.

David Robert Mitchell's It Follows is like nothing we've seen before, and yet it owes so much to what came before it. A cross-breeding of tropes from the past 40 years of horror cinema, the movie is gorgeously shot, vividly told, and full of teen characters that have an unusual amount of compassion for each other. At its center is Jay (played by The Guest's Maika Monroe) who contracts an STD that makes her see visions of ghosts following her. The only way to avert death is to pass on the bug.

Albert Maysles, who, along with his brother David, directed documentary cinema classics Gimme Shelter (1970) and Grey Gardens (1975), died Thursday at his home in Manhattan, reports the New York Times. He was 88.

He's best known for dabbling in the macabre, but when I talked to the 67-year-old director/musician John Carpenter by phone earlier this week, he told me he was "just delighted." We were discussing his new (and first) album John Carpenter's Lost Themes and the glowing reception it has received thus far. Carpenter is best known for directing horror movies like Halloween and 1982's The Thing, as well as gritty action fare like Escape from New York, but all the while he's been composing music (in fact, he has scored most of this movies, including all of the aforementioned).

After months of exhausting fantasy casting blog posts, Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot with an all-female cast is this close to setting its leads: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones are all in final talks to star.

Some surprises in this year's Oscar nominees: The Academy still really loves Clint Eastwood and movies about Americans; Jennifer Aniston may or may not be fine that she was snubbed; curious lack of Selma noms.

If you could tell Ryan Reynolds to do anything, what would it be?

Film writers Fariha Roísín and Sara Black McCulloch are covering the Toronto International Film Festival this year as a series of conversations about the festival and its programming. The first dispatch includes Clouds of Sils Maria, Welcome to Me, Infinitely Polar Bear, and Frailer.

What's the worst part about the modern day in-theater viewing experience? If you said "the fact that people can't take out their phones and send text messages about whatever they're thinking to be displayed on the screen for everyone to see" and you live in a major city in China, you're in luck!

Hollywood is giving yet another sliver of your childhood the gritty reboot treatment: the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (or one of their many incarnations) are getting a new movie, Lionsgate announced Wednesday.

Just in case you forgot Disney is making some new Star Wars movies, the company's CEO has a reminder for you: there is a new trilogy coming. And some spinoffs. More spinoffs than you can possibly imagine.

If his career had gone a little differently, you'd know Josh Hartnett as more than the hot guy in Pearl Harbor. In fact, if he is to be believed, Hartnett could have been in every superhero franchise since the genre's rebirth.

The new Asian trailer for the Godzilla reboot was released on Monday, and it's already fulfilling everyone's hopes and dreams for an awesome monster movie.

The new trailer for The Fault in Our Stars is out, and it seems to exist mostly to assure book fans that it's not veering off track. It looks like the cigarette metaphor, the cheesy support-group leader, and Hazel's explanation of love as being like sleep all made the cut.
