'Star Wars' star Domhnall Gleeson on 'Episode IX': 'I'm really happy J.J. is back'
While a certain segment of Star Wars fandom isn’t pleased as Boonta Eve Punch that J.J. Abrams will helm the still-untitled Episode IX after Colin Trevorrow’s surprise departure, The Force Awakens director does have the Force-ful endorsement of one galactic veteran. “I’m really happy J.J. is back,” Domhnall Gleeson tells Yahoo Entertainment while chatting about his role in the upcoming drug-running drama, American Made. Of course, the Irish actor — who reprises his Force Awakens role as First Order commander General Hux in the upcoming middle chapter, The Last Jedi — emphasizes to Yahoo Movies that his endorsement shouldn’t be taken as confirmation that Hux will play a role in Abrams’s trilogy-capper, set to hit theaters on Dec. 20, 2019.

How the makers of 'I Kill Giants' made a non-superhero comic-book movie for kids
In this golden age of comic-book cinema, there are a plethora of superhero options for the young (and young at heart), as well as more serious-minded fare for the grown-up crowd adapted from graphic novels and series like Road to Perdition and American Splendor. The feature debut of Danish director, Andres Walter, who previously won an Oscar for the 2013 live-action short Helium, I Kill Giants — which is currently without a definite release date — occupies that perfect middle ground for young viewers who are hungry for more challenging fare outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe, but aren’t quite ready for the graphic violence on display in, say, David Cronenberg’s version of the graphic novel A History of Violence.

Harry Dean Stanton, quintessential American actor, dies at 91
Harry Dean Stanton, the character actor with the world-weary face who carved out an exceptional career playing grizzled loners and colorful, offbeat characters in such films as Paris, Texas and Repo Man, has died. Stanton, who also was memorable in Cool Hand Luke (1967), Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979), John Carpenter’s Escape From New York (1981) and John Hughes’ Pretty in Pink(1986) — in fact, what wasn’t he memorable in? — died Friday afternoon of natural causes at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, his agent, John Kelly, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Gwynne WatkinsWill the 'Mother!' cast take their mothers? Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, and director Darren Aronofsky respond
The violent, allegorical thriller Mother! (now in theaters) is not the kind of film that gets billed as “fun for the whole family.” Yet it’s a daring, dazzling showcase for the talent involved — in other words, the kind of movie a mother could love, if she’s the mother of Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, or director Darren Aronofsky. Speaking a few hours before the New York City premiere of Mother!, both star Lawrence and writer-director Aronofsky (who have been dating since the film wrapped) said their mothers would be joining them at the screening. “My whole family is seeing it,” Lawrence told Yahoo Movies. “I’m mostly worried about my brothers.
