Tina Fey Introduces Gilda Radner Documentary at Tribeca Film Festival Last night in New York City at the kickoff event for the 17th annual Tribeca Film Festival, an audience screened the first documentary from filmmaker Lisa D’Apolito, Love, Gilda , at the Beacon Theatre. The movie chronicled the career of beloved comedian Gilda Radner, focusing mainly on her years at Saturday Night Live . Festival founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal welcomed guests to the premiere screening, but it was Tina Fey who introduced the documentary, though she was not interviewed for the film. “I can personally attest, and I feel comfortable speaking for Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Rachel Dratch, when I say that seeing Gilda as a kid, she was lovely and she was so authentically herself and so regular in so many ways,” commented Fey. “She was not a piece of casting. She was who she was on the TV. We all saw that and said, ‘I want to do that.’I...

Denzel Washington Wraps the First Sequel of His Career, ‘The Equalizer 2’
Shooting has wrapped on Columbia Pictures’ upcoming action sequel, The Equalizer 2 , starring Denzel Washington. The original film (which was based on a series from the 1980s) found former CIA black ops specialist Robert McCall (Washington) living a life of forced retirement after making a promise to his late wife.

Good fights, though. To be perfectly honest, however, if you’re hunting for an excellent action mo...
Could Steven Spielberg Be the Creative Influence That Turns Around the DCEU?
Could Steven Spielberg Be the Creative Influence That Turns Around the DCEU? BAKOUNINE / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM Hot on the heels of his successful sci-fi pic Ready Player One , news has broken that Steven Spielberg is in talks to produce and possibly direct an adaptation of DC Comics’ Blackhawk . The development could prove a game changer for the DCEU, especially if they can coerce Spielberg into helming the feature. Blackhawk follows a team of World War II fighter pilots known as the Blackhawk Squadron who use Nazi aircraft to run stealth campaigns behind enemy lines. While the comic was initially published in 1941, the team has undergone several changes to make the lineup less xenophobic (one of the original members was an Asian fella called Chop-Chop). Over the course of its sporadic 70-year run, the team has been buried and resurrected, mixed around, retconned, and thrust centuries into the future. As a result, Spielbe...
