‘Suspiria’ Review: A Masterpiece Is Reborn
There is a moment early in Suspiria when Tilda Swinton’s Madame Blanc ruminates on the concept of rebirths and “the inevitable pull they exert and our efforts to escape them.” Blanc uses this description in the context of Volk, a stunning dance production born from the harrowing World War II era of Berlin, but it’s also an apt way to describe Luca Guadagnino’s interpretation of Dario Argento’s stylish horror classic — it’s not a remake, but a rebirth or reincarnation, in which Argento’s old ways are forced to reconcile with Guadagnino’s new.
AMC Reportedly Expanding ‘The Walking Dead’ Universe With Movies, More Shows

‘Creed 2’ Begins Production With Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone
It’s all happening: Creed 2 — officially titled Creed II because roman numerals are serious business — has begun production with Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson reprising their roles from Ryan Coogler’s hit sequel.

Ava DuVernay Will Direct DC’s ‘New Gods’ Superhero Epic
A Wrinkle in Time may not have performed nearly as well as Disney (and the rest of us) hoped, but it’s going to take a lot more than one blockbuster stumble and some negative reviews to keep major studios away from Ava DuVernay.
