Guillermo Del Toro To Never Direct Sleepless In Seattle Sequel? By Hunter Stephenson/June 13, 2008 10:54 am EST We can all rest easy. Turns out all of those Internet rumors were true: Hellboy 2 director Guillermo del Toro is not a fan of weepy rom-coms and will never ever direct a movie starring Meg Ryan or rabid Manhattan cougars. Page Six got the scoop of scoops by way of an interview in Complex magazine…...

Jesse Eisenberg And Kristen Stewart Kick-Ass On The Set Of ‘American Ultra;’ Plus Poster Debut By Germain Lussier/June 25, 2015 9:00 am EST American Ultra isn’t an easy movie to summarize. From its tone to its genre, the film lives and breathes because it rides a fine line between action, comedy, and romance. In fact, it seems the only truth on the set of American Ultra is that Wal-Mart is a great place to find deadly weapons....

And Just Like That Immediately Defends Peloton HBO Max Carrie’s last words to Big are even centered around the Peloton, “Tell that whore Allegra I said bye,” she playfully jokes about her husband’s parasocial relationship with a fitness guru living in his bike screen. Well, other than her panicked cries as he later dies in her arms, their final loving, living moment was making a crack at the Peloton. Perhaps people were so heartbroken over the death of Big that they chose not to watch the following episode, or perhaps it’s because people have a tendency to not to pay attention to the full picture, but episode 2, “Little Black Dress,” centers on Big’s funeral and features a scene with Miranda and Steve discussing Big’s pandemic addiction to the luxury fitness item....

Why Won’t Warner Bros. Release Ayer’s Cut? Warner Bros. Ayer has personally noted that his director’s cut of the film exists, but after WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff’s definitive statement about it not happening, it seems the #ReleaseTheAyerCut campaign is futile. That hasn’t stopped Ayer or his rabid fanbase from trying. While Warner Bros. hasn’t given an on-record reason for not releasing the film, there are a multitude of reasons in WB’s defense....

What Could Cretton’s Disney+ Series Be? Disney “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” laid the groundwork for a sequel by (spoilers!) revealing that Shang-Chi’s sister, Xu Xialing (Meng’er Zhang) is the new head of the Ten Rings syndicate. That storyline might be being saved for “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2,” but it’s also possible that the Ten Rings could be making the move to a Disney+ series, with Xialing as the protagonist, while Shang-Chi faces a different enemy....

Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Idris Elba Says His Knuckles Voice Won’t Be Sexy And We Don’t Believe Him Paramount Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 26, 2021 1:14 pm EST When it was first announced that Idris Elba would be appearing in “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” as Knuckles the Echidna, it was the casting announcement Sonic fans didn’t know we wanted. For the uninitiated, Knuckles is one of the staple characters in the Sonic video game series, first starting out as a minor antagonist after being easily manipulated by Dr....

Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Script Was Constantly Being Rewritten During Filming Sony Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 17, 2021 3:38 pm EST Honestly, where’s Doctor Strange when you need him? Peter Parker may have required his services to rewrite reality and make it so that nobody could remember the identity of Spider-Man in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (this, uh, doesn’t appear to work out as planned), but imagine how useful it would be if a studio could ask the Sorcerer Supreme to conjure up fully-written movie scripts in the blink of an eye....

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Paramount The third in an ever-expanding series of Star Trek properties, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” ran for an impressive seven seasons and has long been ranked highly by fans of the interstellar franchise. It deviates from the first two Star Trek series in two fundamental aspects. “Deep Space Nine” was the first to be made without the direct involvement of legendary creator Gene Roddenberry, and it was the first to take place on a space station rather than a ship traversing the galaxy....

The Clerks Ending We’re Glad Didn’t Happen Miramax By Danielle Ryan/Sept. 17, 2021 8:28 am EST “Clerks” is a one-of-a-kind cult gem, a rude and raw low-budget comedy about a couple of clerks at a local convenience store. Director Kevin Smith made his debut feature by maxing out his credit cards and filming after closing the very store in which he worked, and it paid off — “Clerks” launched Smith’s career and an entire “View Askewniverse” of movies, comic books, and a short-lived ABC cartoon series....

The Matrix Resurrections Trailer: It’s Time To Return To The Source Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 6, 2021 12:05 pm EST “After all these years, to be going back to where it all started … back to the Matrix.” The release of the first trailer for “The Matrix Resurrections” promptly made it feel like 1999 all over again, bringing back Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss well over a decade after we last saw them bow out of their iconic roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively....

Tom Holland Wants His Spider-Man To Fight A Living Vampire Sony Pictures By Max Evry/Dec. 9, 2021 12:43 pm EST Talk of Spider-Man villains has been a trending topic lately in the lead-up to the December 17 opening of Marvel Studios and Sony’s hotly anticipated “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” That might have something to do with the fact that (SPOILER from the trailer!) the Marvel Cinematic Universe is pulling out all the stops by bringing back non-canonical villains from Sony’s non-MCU flicks to form a kind of Sinister Six, including Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Electro, Lizard, Sandman, and likely more....
