That’s an actual thing that Forbes just wrote about me.
This is unbelievable.
CHECK IT OUT:
Hey
@HamillHimself
!
As it turns out, YOU are the reason Harrison Ford is so cool!
Thank you for the fun “fan question,” sir! Mr. Ford lit up when he realized it was from you!
FULL INTERVIEW:
From director Ridley Scott, watch the new Official Trailer for
#GladiatorII
starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, and Fred Hechinger - Only in theatres November 22.
“Thank you for bringing that up, because I thought the same thing — THIS IS WEIRD!”
I think Zendaya is tired of talking about kissing her co-stars.
FULL INTERVIEW:
When LORD OF THE RINGS ended in ‘03, I was worried we’d never have a movie experience like that ever again.
I was wrong. Now we have DUNE.
PART TWO isn’t just bigger and better than PART ONE in every way — it cements the series as one of the greatest cinematic experiences EVER.
My thoughts on SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME:
A movie that starts out good and turns great with every minute that passes — leading to one of the best climaxes of any solo Marvel movie.
Tom Holland is, and will forever be, the greatest Spider-Man ever.
This movie is a MUST SEE.
As someone who LIKED -- but didn't LOVE -- the first AVATAR, let me tell you:
AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER blew me away.
Vastly superior in visuals, story telling and performances, the sequel left my jaw on the ground for the entire runtime.
James Cameron is the GOD of sequels.
I had the chance to ask Henry Cavill about that “arm pump / beard growth” gif that’s circling the internet.
This is the reason I went to college for journalism.

God, how I loved LONGLEGS.
The slow burning dread, the horribly unsettling reveal of Nicolas Cage’s blood curdling performance, the way the ending left my jaw dropped on the theater floor.
I overheard several theater goers afterwards hating it — I thought it was a masterpiece.
This is officially now one of my most treasured possessions ever — after my interviews wrapped, the entire cast of
#DunePartTwo
was kind enough to sign my copy of Frank Herbert’s seminal novel.
I’ll cherish this for the rest of my life.
Guys — I have seen the
#SnyderCut
...and it’s a masterpiece.
@ZackSnyder
paints an incredible canvas that will break your heart and put it back together again.
The runtime — which blows by like it’s nothing — allows backstories, team’s assembly and action to flow effortlessly.
Dear
@TheAcademy
—
Why are you trying so desperately to win over an audience that doesn’t care about you?
This is a show honoring movies and movie fans…and you’re cutting the crafts that make that possible?!
I hope this is the lowest rated Oscars ever.
Official letter from AMPAS President Dave Rubin on the announcement of the categories that won't be in the live broadcast: Film Editing, Makeup & Hairstyling, Original Score, Production Design, Animated/Doc/Live Action Short Film and Sound.
#Oscars
I just asked Will Smith what piece of professional advice he wishes he could give a younger him — his answer:
“Go back to ‘WILD WILD WEST’ and I would say ‘Asshole, why didn’t you do THE MATRIX’?”
It’s a shame that she even has to do this in the first place — but nothing but respect for
@taylorswift13
for taking control of her own legacy and destiny for the sake of herself and her fans.
Well done, Taylor — you’re a class act.
DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE is Marvel’s PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES.
What does that mean? It means it’s both wildly hilarious and genuinely (and heartbreakingly) meaningful.
Top 10 Marvel — not because of its cameos, because of its heart.
This movie doesn’t just exist — it MATTERS.
A reminder:
If you haven’t watched LOST because you heard from someone that “the ending sucks” — you’re missing out on one of the greatest storytelling experiences ever crafted.
Press play and thank me later.
(And for the record: the ending is PERFECT)
THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is everything I wanted it to be — because there’s never been a STAR WARS movie like this before.
It’s dark and scary, but hopeful and beautiful.
It ends the trilogy while also ending the saga as a whole.
I know I’m rambling — but I worship this movie.
JUST IN: I’ll be interviewing
@ZackSnyder
for the
@snydercut
of JUSTICE LEAGUE - an honor I don’t take lightly.
I’ll see the film next week and then will interview him a few days after.
I’m speechless.

#SnyderCut
Chadwick Boseman once told me that he was in awe that Jackie Robinson was able to endure so much and never show it.
And yet, that’s exactly what HE did — he fought cancer bravely for years while filming movies, doing stunts, doing press...and he never said a word.
He is a hero.
As someone who worshiped the original
#ScreamMovie
(and absolutely adores SCREAM 2), I have to tell you…
I absolutely LOVED the new SCREAM sequel.
It’s directed with such furious energy — it’s both a love letter to the original and entirely fresh.
I’m beyond ecstatic.
For those asking:
WATCHMEN will likely always be Zack Snyder’s crowning cinematic achievement in my eyes.
But
#SnyderCut
is his best DC film — and easily the best film in the DCEU.
I’m giving this masterpiece a re-watch to gear up to finally watch the
#SnyderCut
next week.
I’m beyond nervous for my 1:1 interview with
@ZackSnyder
but also beyond excited.
I still can’t believe this is happening.
You guys did it.
SUBSCRIBE:
A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD was...absolutely perfect.
Tom Hanks gives — seriously — one of the best performances of his entire career.
This isn’t just a movie we need right now — it’s a movie we will need forever.
Bring the tissues — you’ll need the entire box.
🚨 ZACK SNYDER INTERVIEW 🚨
Here’s my interview with
@ZackSnyder
where we discuss:
* JUSTICE LEAGUE
#SnyderCut
and
#ReleaseTheSnyderCut
movement
* why he stayed silent about Joss Whedon’s cut
* the new JOKER footage
* his future in the DCEU

Since my interview with Nia DaCosta is being spread around today, I just wanted to ensure the entire question and answer were both out there.
I appreciate her kindness and openness during our interview.
I hope you’ll check out the full conversation:
"I would really be happy to do a Harley Quinn and Groot movie. Not only have I thought about that, but I have actually talked about that to the heads of both Marvel and DC." James Gunn.
That moment you Zoom with
@JohnBoyega
— and he blows your mind by taking you around his home and showing you all of the
@starwars
props he has.
One of the single best interviews of my entire life.
Interview coming soon!
Tom Holland 'would love' to make a live-action Spider-Verse film with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield — 'It's something the fans really want ... [But] It’s not up to me' 🕷

Legendary Oscar-Winning actress Cloris Leachman has passed away at the age of 94.
I had the incredible honor of sitting across from her as she told me amazing stories about working with Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder on the set of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
I spoke with Mia Goth about not getting a (very deserved) Best Actress Oscar nomination for PEARL — and why the Academy doesn’t take the horror genre seriously enough.
Shout out to the Chicago crew of THE BATMAN — very kind and patient, let us take pictures and then kindly asked us to keep walking.
But still allowed us to be fans and were fun about it.
There’s no city like Chicago.
I can’t believe this but…
I’m about to interview
@ZackSnyder
for the FOURTH TIME this year later today!
….is it lame if I show him my quote on the back of the
@snydercut
BluRay?
#WandaVision
is exactly what I was hoping we’d start seeing from the MCU at this point in the game — weird, risky and unlike anything we’ve seen so far.
I’ve seen the first three episodes — and while I have no idea what’s “going on,” I’m 100% in for the ride.
Bring on Phase 4.
For the rest of my life, I’ll remember the day I sat across from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
They were two of the kindest, most gracious and most honest people I’ve ever had the chance to interview.
Damn — what a day.
My favorite Nolan scene ever is the interrogation scene from THE DARK KNIGHT.
To that point: OPPENHEIMER is a reminder that even if you strip away spectacle — spinning hallways, backward fights — he’s a masterful story teller who can make even small moments feel thrilling.
“Zack Snyder is a warrior, he’s a mad man. I really love him.”
I spoke with Jared Leto about reprising his role of The Joker in Zack Snyder’s JUSTICE LEAGUE and what it was like to slip back into Mr. J one more time.

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut
I reviewed A STAR IS BORN this morning on
@fox32news
— and I’m so happy to report that the Bradley Cooper / Lady Gaga tearjerker is one of the year’s very best films.
Loved A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE.
Thematically, if PART I and II are more akin to ALIEN — small, quiet moments of terror — DAY ONE is closer to ALIENS.
Big, loud and scary monster carnage.
Nyong’o gives a heartbreaking weight to her role — and the final shot will leave you BROKEN.
#TheLastDuel
is told from three different perspectives, which is “quite a dangerous way to tell a story.” Hear Jodie Comer share how this approach influenced the filming process:
#Awardist
I’m a sobbing, weepy, ugly-cry mess right now.
I just finished
#TheAdamProject
.
The moment it was over, I called my parents and told them that I love them.
Thank you
@VancityReynolds
and
@ShawnLevyDirect
.
That was absolutely beautiful.
Since everyone is talking about the potential of a live-action Spider-Verse with Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire...
...here’s that time I asked
@TomHolland1996
,
@Zendaya
and Jacob Batalon about the potential of a live action Spider-Verse.
The moment SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE ended, I knew I'd experienced a cinematic moment I'd cherish forever.
If INTO is A NEW HOPE, this is EMPIRE - darker, more powerful and better in every way.
It's going to be a LONG wait until March '24.
HOW DOES THIS MOVIE EXIST?!
When you’re only given five minutes to talk with one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, it’s probably not a smart idea to ask about another director’s films.
I’ve been interviewing these guys since I was a teenager — but I never once, in my wildest dreams, thought I’d ever interview them for a DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE movie.
Always meet your heroes, kids — especially if they’re super heroes.
DUNE delivers the impossible — an adaptation of Herbert’s novel that understands the themes, the scope and the vision of the source material.
Denis Villeneuve has delivered a pitch perfect epic that DEMANDS Part 2, Zimmer continues to reinvent himself and its visually GORGEOUS.
It’s hard to imagine, after the years of hype, buildup and anticipation, how any movie could live up to fans’ expectations:
I’m telling you,
#SnyderCut
does.
EVERY character benefits from the new scenes.
We now live in a world where an amazing JUSTICE LEAGUE movie exists.
Dear
@ZackSnyder
.
Seriously — thank you.
You already possess several spots on my “Top Superhero Movies Ever” list....and I think you just landed one more with
#TheSnyderCut
.
Thank you.
For the
#SnyderCut
fans out there!
Here are some old pictures of when I checked out the Chicago set of BATMAN V SUPERMAN!
The Daily Planet building is actually where I work, and I drove out to see the Kent Farm!
Yeah, these were good days.
