Exclusive: Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson & Director Simon McQuoid Talk ‘Mortal Kombat’ [Video]

by Jonathan Tolliver April 20, 2021
written by Jonathan Tolliver

Gotta say, I was waiting for this one. Like millions of bloodthirsty youths, I grew up worshipping the Mortal Kombat franchise, and fully lost myself when the sensational trailer for this movie dropped. They really set us up for something big, and faced tons of pressure to make something better than the much-hated 90s ‘Mortal Kombat.’ Plot twist: I actually like that one.

This reboot was pitch perfect baby. It strikes a sensational balance between reverence for the source material and new, exciting ideas. There are plenty of long, intense battles mix hand to hand fighting with stellar CGI to create sequences that are both grounded and breathtaking. 

The acting in this is also pretty damn good, most notably between Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee) and Kano (Josh Lawson). Their rapport and the intense ‘do I want to sleep with you or kill you’ energy they have is delightful. 

They also, get this, have great chemistry IRL, and had been friends for years before being cast opposite each other. That was just one tidbit in a pretty freakin fun interview with those two. Had a great chat with Simon as well, who broke down his method of keeping the performances human in a supernatural setting. 

‘It’s a matter of staying with the characters and not getting really wild and all over the place,’ he explained. ‘Just keeping all that very uncomplicated.’ 

However he and the crew did it, they pulled off a great feat. People are gonna love this movie. I am people. 

Check out our exclusive interview above.

Exclusive: Michael Talks ’90 Day Fiancé’

by Hershil Vora April 19, 2021
written by Hershil Vora

From their wildly popular 90-Day Fiance series, TLC introduces a brand new season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After!  Here they catch up with unforgettable couples from previous seasons in the 90-Day universe, picking up where they last left off and seeing how they move forward in the next chapter of their lives together.  The show starts off with Michael and Angela after finally tieing the knot in Nigeria.  We got a chance to speak with Michael about the new show and life updates since we last saw him in the 90-Day universe.

The Knockturnal: You both have been on 90 Day spinoffs for years. What does Happily Ever After mean to you now in 2021?  

Michael: It means a lot to me because it shows how our relationship has been for the past few years and how we are coping with the negative and positive aspects of our relationship and marriage. To God be the glory.

The Knockturnal:  As a couple, you have been through a lot of ups and downs. How was tying the knot in Nigeria last year, and now being married but still long distance?  

Michael: Tying the knot in Nigeria was needed due to the fact that I was denied the K1 in 2019 and I needed to file the spousal visa. It was important for us to do it because we really want to be together as husband and wife. It hasn’t been easy but the love we have for each other keeps us going. I believe that it will happen soon.

The Knockturnal: Any visa updates you can share?  

Michael: We’re still going through the process, that is all I can say for now.

The Knockturnal: What can you tease on Happily Ever After? Are kids in your future?  

Michael: I hope for the best but it’s a work in progress.

The Knockturnal: You both have become such beloved 90 Day stars. What do you want to say to fans who have watched your whole journey?  

Michael: Me and my wife Angie appreciate all of the fans, both the good supporters and the haters lol. Thank you all for watching and supporting us.

Keep up with the couple’s victories, trials, and tribulations in the new season of 90-Day Fiance: Happily Ever After premiering on Sunday, April 25th at 8 PM ET/PT with Special PILLOW TALK episodes airing at 11 PM ET/PT on TLC!

What We Learned From Zack Snyder’s Q&A on Army of the Dead

by Julian Cannon April 19, 2021
written by Julian Cannon

Army of The Dead’s trailer has finally been revealed this week. The reveal was followed by a Q&A with Zack Snyder himself as he gave details about the upcoming movie. Zack Snyder has worked on Army of the Dead for an extremely long time, dating back to at least 2007 which was a few years after his directorial debut with 2004’s Dawn of the Dead. After watching the Q&A, here are some nice things and tidbits on what we can expect from Army of The Dead.

Army of The Dead will be released on May 21st, 2021.

Army of the Dead will be released both in the theaters and on Netflix. It will premiere first in the theaters on May 14th, 2021, and arriving on Netflix on May 21st, 2021. That will give the majority of fans an option to see Army of the Dead a week ahead of its Netflix debut or not. So it’s not too long until its anticipated arrival!

The zombies in Army of The Dead are comparable to the ‘Romero-Style’ zombies.

Fans of Night of the Living Dead and Day of the Dead knows George A. Romero’s style of zombies. They bear some intelligence and they are organized and tough. Zack Snyder took some inspiration from Romeo’s style and gave it a twist as you can see in the trailer. They are not Olympic runners per se, but they also have reflexes and can counter during hand-to-hand combat. There is even a zombie tiger too! And that zombie tiger would not be The Walking Dead’s Shiva’s best friend at all.

There are no other cuts or versions of Army of the Dead.

We will not see another #releasethesnydercut movement with Army of the Dead because Zack Snyder confirmed during the Q&A that this cut is the final cut while also throwing shade at Warner Bros about the whole situation with Justice League. That means, the theater and Netflix release is the finished version and that there will not be any other cuts stored away somewhere in a lockbox. Good that Zack Snyder addressed that!

Filming

Also during the Q&A portion, the topic of filming came up. Army of the Dead was filmed at the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel in New Jersey. At the time that they filmed Army of the Dead, the casino was abandoned. It had been closed since 2014 so I can see why they chose to film there to really bring out the post-apocalyptic tone. Zack Snyder also served as the cinematographer as he used custom-made Red Digital Cinema cameras for filming.

Exclusive: Lauren E. Banks discusses Starring In Showtime’s ‘City on a Hill’ [Video]

by HannahJoy Shareef April 16, 2021
written by HannahJoy Shareef

Actress Lauren E. Banks is starring in Showtime’s “City on a Hill.” Banks is best known as a racial equality activist which has helped her play the role of Siobhan Quays in the Showtime series. 

In Season 2 of “City on a Hill” the federal housing project in the Boston is experiencing drug violence, racial discrimination, and distrust in local law enforcement. Actress Lauren E. Banks sees the parallel between our country experiencing civil unrest and playing a private attorney. She was honored to have this role and loved working alongside Aldis Hodge and Kevin Bacon. Banks earned the role right after she graduated from Yale School of Drama in 2017. Banks expressed the need for justice and how minorities should freely tell their stories of suffering, racial injustice, and inequality. 

The character Banks plays (Siobhan Quays) is dominant, witty, and her voice will not be silenced in the workplace. Banks sheds light on how minorities and in particular, women are treated at work. Banks expressed how she enjoys waking up at 4:30 am to go to work and all people should love what they do. Furthermore, Lauren loves the HBCU experience, expressing the importance of womanhood and using your voice to bring about change in the world.

Exclusive: HBO’s ‘The Nevers’ Cast Explains Their Superpowers [Video]

by Kinsey Schofield April 16, 2021
written by Kinsey Schofield

Ben Chaplin, Anna Devlin, Vinnie Heaven, Amy Manson, Zackary Momoh, Rochelle Neil, Denis O’Hare, Viola Prettejohn, and Kiran Sonia Sawar introduce us to their characters and talk HBO’s The Nevers.

The Nevers is a Victorian-era sci-fi thriller that stars such an incredible ensemble that we can’t fit them all in the headline – ps. that’s not even half of them! There’s also Laura Donnelly (Outlander), James Norton (Little Women), and Pip Torrens (The Crown) to name a few! With such a unique and substantial cast of characters, The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield wanted to know more about the Touched!

Viola Prettejohn plays Myrtle, one of the most extraordinary characters in The Nevers! “Myrtle can speak every language in the world but she can’t control which one comes out at any given time,” explains the sweet and petite Prettejohn. “So, she knows exactly what she means, she’s confident in what she means, but absolutely no one else has any idea what she’s talking about. So that’s a pretty unique challenge for her!”  How does one prepare for such a role?

“I did do a lot of languages at school,” she explains. “I learned Chinese, Ancient Greek, and a bit of Italian and some French. So, I had a little bit of grounding in those. I was given all of my lines in English and then me and my dialect coach would translate them all and we had some help from students at my school who would send in recordings so I could get the pronunciation correct. We just sort of played around with different combinations of translations just to find out what rhythmically felt right for me and what language I was drawn to. I love Russian and I love doing a bit of Italian and there were some really odd languages that I’d never heard of before that we got to use. So that was really interesting for me.”

Anna Devlin plays Primrose, “Well, Primrose is 10 foot tall,” laughs Devlin of her superpower. “She’s a 16-year-old girl and she’s quite gentle and introverted.” In the above interview, we discover how Devlin navigated shooting scenes as a giant and the not-so-subtle co-star that appeared on-set to support the big concept.

Also hear from Ben Chaplin, Vinnie Heaven, Amy Manson, Zackary Momoh, Rochelle Neil, Denis O’Hare, and Kiran Sonia Sawar about their experience on The Nevers. New episodes of The Nevers air Sunday nights on HBO. Season one part two will follow at a later date.

Exclusive: Molly Bernard Discusses the Final Season of ‘Younger’ [Video]

by Katherine Tinsley April 15, 2021
written by Katherine Tinsley

Comedy drama “Younger” is premiering its final and seventh season April 15 on Paramount Plus.

 

The final season of Younger will beautifully wrap the series and finish the stories of the characters audiences fell in love with in 2015 when it initially premiered on TV Land. Audiences fell in love with the illustrious publishing world that surrounded Liza (Sutton Foster) and her life.

 

Younger has kept audiences drawn into the lives of Liza, Lauren, Josh, Maggie, and Charles and the layers and nuance within their lives. Character Lauren Heller (portrayed by Molly Bernard) is a social media wizard, free spirited, and pansexual. One thing that makes the show special is the authentic LGBTQ+ representation and showing the characters beyond their sexuality and gender identities. For actress Molly Bernard portraying a pansexual character gave her the freedom to meet the love of her life, who so happens to be a woman. 

For Bernard, she began acting at the age of six studying alongside her grandfather and later graduating from the Yale School of Drama and training at the Moscow Art Theater. Her study of theater and acting in the conservatory model well prepared her for a career on screen being able to focus on the body language, speech pattern, and psyche of Lauren. 

The final season of Younger will allow audiences to say their goodbyes to the characters they have been following since 2015. The final season was filmed during the Covid-19 pandemic with the understanding that the storylines needed to be effectively wrapped to give an appropriate ending to the series. The final season will begin where season 6 left off with a pending proposal, love triangle, and will answer many of the questions that arose from the season 6 finale.

Exclusive: The Cast of ‘Big Shot’ Talk New Disney+ Series Featuring John Stamos [Video]

written by Stephanie Giang-Paunon

Have Mercy! “Full House” star John Stamos is taking his acting skills to the basketball court in the new Disney+ series “Big Shot.”

In his new role, Stamos plays a temperamental coach, who takes a job at an all-girls private high school after getting kicked out of the NCAA.

Despite Stamos’ character, Marvyn Korn, being completely out of his element, he is given a second chance to become a better coach in this heartwarming series. In the David E. Kelley dramedy, Coach Korn learns to grow and evolve into a greater individual, while the teenage girls also empower one another as a team, both on and off the court.

“The Knockturnal” had a chance to exclusively sit down with the female lead opposite of John Stamos, Jessalyn Gislig, and Sophia Mitri Schloss, Coach Korn’s daughter, along with the team players, Nell Verlaque, Monique Green, Tiana Le, Tisha Custodio, and Cricket Wampler.

Gislig’s character, assistant Coach Holly, tells “The Knockturnal,” working with Stamos is “exactly what you think it would be.”

“He is hilarious, he is generous, he is creative, he is enthusiastic, and he is tireless. The guy has so much energy, you cannot let yourself appear to be tired at any time because you would look so weak beside him,” she joked. “He’s so good to the crew, he’s so good to the girls, he’s incredibly kind to me. I want to tell you something bad about him, but there’s nothing.”

“Big Shot” is available to stream on Disney+ Friday, April 16th.
