“Full House” and “Fuller House” creator Jeff Franklin is set to produce a new horror film, “Murder with the Stars.” Craig Shoemaker penned the screenplay and will serve as a producer, with Jonathan Silverman set to direct and act in the movie.
“This concept came to me several months ago, and I knew I was onto something unique and fun,” Shoemaker said. “Since then, the creative process has unfolded effortlessly with two old friends signing on, Jonathan Silverman and Jeff Franklin. It’s a killer team. In the case of this horror film, pun intended.”
“Murder with the Stars” will be created in partnership with Jaclyn and Ike Suri of Pelican Point Media, a film finance and production company, that has produced horror and comedy films like the 2016 thriller “Exposed,” starring Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves. Silverman is repped by Authentic Talent and Brave Artists, and Shoemaker is repped by Innovative Artists.

This Dark Matter review contains no spoilers.
The best-selling science fiction novel Dark Matter by Blake Crouch has been adapted into an Apple TV+ original series, bolstered by an all-star cast. With Crouch himself staying on as the showrunner and executive producer, Dark Matter unfolds at a brisk pace that leans more into the thriller elements of the source material than the science fiction premise. And while many of the familiar stylistic and thematic tropes in a number of Apple TV+ original thrillers are on display, the performance by the series’ leads elevates the material and helps make Dark Matter stand distinct from its contemporaries on the platform.
Dark Matter follows Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), a physics teacher at a local university in the suburbs of Chicago who lives a happy, if unassuming, life with his wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and their teenage son Charlie (Oakes Fegley). After reconnecting with...

You know the old adage: you wait ages for an Apple sci-fi show about quantum superposition, and then two come along at once. Just a month after we unravelled the existential mysteries of Constellation, we now have another reality-bending rabbit hole to disappear down in this series by Blake Crouch, adapted from his 2016 novel. But where Constellation took a deliberate, almost meditative approach to blending parallel worlds, confuzzling audiences right up until its slow-burn reveal, Dark Matter is a more up-front affair, wearing its fluctuating quantum state proudly on its five-dimensional sleeve.
Edgerton’s Jason Dessen lives a simple but happy life with wife Daniela (Jennifer Connelly) and son Charlie (Oakes Fegley). Working as a college physics teacher, he’s professionally unfulfilled (though apparently still able to afford a stunning brownstone in downtown Chicago) and vastly overshadowed by former classmate Ryan (Jimmi Simpson).

“Obviously, it was a fairly big ask,” declares visual effects supervisor Doug Larmour about the outrageously complicated visual effects deployed in the big budget Apple TV+ sci-fi thriller “Constellation.” For our recent webchat he adds, “Having worked in a few space projects before and knowing that there’s a solution for zero gravity. You build sets with take-off rooms and ceilings, and you build a wind system and a flying system with some really good special effects people. You get a whole lot of wonderful people to remove all your wires for you. And then you in terms of floating objects, it’s C.G.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

It’s been one of Hollywood’s most sought-after invitations.
For the past few years, a who’s who of directors, cinematographers, studio execs and exhibitors have been quietly ushered into an unmarked room at the famed Glen Glenn Sound facility in Los Angeles. They’ve made the trek to get a peek at new projection technology that has been in the works for years at Barco, the Belgian tech firm known for its high-end cinema exhibition systems.
Industry insiders are abuzz at the promise that Barco’s lat- est innovation could radically upgrade the picture quality of films shown at the average multiplex. After years of development, Barco is ready to make a big splash at CinemaCon by showing off its new Hdr by Barco laser projection system using remastered footage from Hollywood movies. Hdr stands for “high dynamic range,” which expands the color contrast of visual imagery.

Space messes you up. That’s the conclusion reached by former 1960s cosmonaut Irena Lysenko in Apple TV+ sci-fi Constellation. Irena knows space’s secret, which is that sometimes the astronauts that come back down from missions aren’t the same ones who went up there.
Every so often, spooky space physics pull a switcheroo and swap people from their own universe to a mirror versions with slight but unignorable differences such as the colour of the family car, to whether they’re alive or dead.
Before we get into Bud and Henry’s complicated finale business, a bit of context is needed:

In Constellation, there are two mirrored universes plus a crossover space in which parts of both overlap, enabling people in Universe A to get the odd, destabilising glimpse of what’s going on in Universe B. Think Stranger Things’ the Upside Down,...

It is believed that the notion of multiple realities is founded upon the principles of dichotomy found in symmetry. While different realities, which are alternate versions of each other, share a number of similarities in some of their fundamental principles, some random acts and events differ from each other in both major and minor ways. After all, the varying possible outcomes of a single incident and how that triggers further changes are the core precepts of multiverse theory.
As a thrilling cosmic sci-fi series, Apple TV+’s Constellation aimed to focus on the intriguing concept of alternate realities with a strong emotional undertone. The series excelled in doing so by highlighting the relationship dynamics between astronaut Jo Ericsson and her daughter Alice (and an alternate version of her), but the series’ most complex, poignant commentary on duality in uniformity is shaped through the study of character duo Bud Caldera and...

After taking viewers through the mysterious, captivating, thrilling, and occasionally emotional journey of Swedish astronaut Jo Ericsson—a journey that transcended realities to uncover some hidden corners of space exploration—Apple TV+’s Constellation brings an end to its first season in the most unexpected way. Previously, while being stranded in an alternate reality, Jo fled to their family cabin in Vindelälven, taking alternate Alice and the Cal device with her. On the other hand, Jo’s daughter, Alice from prime reality, decided to visit Vindelälven with her father, Magnus, as well, and through unique distortions in the spatial continuum, she is briefly reunited with her mother on the other side. Alternate Alice learns about another version of herself as the two Alice communicate with each other, discussing the predicament of a reality-displaced Jo.

If, while watching TV, you become fixated on the obvious emptiness of a supposedly full coffee cup, or the way that a sipped glass of wine appears to magically refill itself between cuts, you’re either watching a boring show or a great one. Continuity gaffs happen all the time, but for TV audiences to really notice them, either a story has to be so dull that minds wander, or so fascinating that viewers are willing to comb through every mundane detail to piece it all together.
Apple TV+ space sci-fi Constellation is the latter. Its story of Swedish astronaut Joanna Eriksson (Noomi Rapace) coming back from a mission to find that her world is filled with subtle changes, has turned viewers into detectives piecing together the full story. Their work, confirms series creator Peter Harness, is not going unrewarded. Spoilers ahead.

Two worlds come crashing together, breaking through the unseen barriers separating them, as Apple TV+’s cosmic mystery thriller Constellation reaches new heights with each episode. Stranded in a reality where she doesn’t belong, Jo gradually finds herself cornered by an alternate version of the world she knows, which seeks to disparage her, as the truth of her experience can unravel conspiracies and cover-ups pertaining to space exploration of historical proportions. A fleeting ray of hope was presented to her in the penultimate episode of the season as she almost reunited with her daughter, only to be separated eventually, and with the finale approaching soon, Jo’s fate dangles in uncertainty.
Previously, a glimpse into Jo’s reality was shown, where Paul, from an alternate reality, found himself getting mysteriously displaced—just like Jo herself. It turns out Jo had switched places with her alternate version, who had passed...
