Let’s Break Down Some Numbers Gerain0812 / Shutterstock There were two distinct agreements hanging in the balance with this vote: the Area Standards Agreement and the Basic Agreement. The Area Standards Agreement covers 26 local unions outside Los Angeles, while the Basic Agreement covers the 13 Hollywood local unions. Both passed with a majority “yes” vote, but just barely — the voting body is basically split in half on this issue....

Jar Jar Binks Will Not Be In The Disney+ ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Series By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 31, 2021 9:00 am EST Early last year, a rumor surfaced that Jar Jar Binks, notorious Gungan military commander and politician and arguably the most hated character in Star Wars, would be making his illustrious return to the galaxy far, far away in the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series. Jar Jar, after all, was instrumental in the fall of the Republic and was a frequent companion of Obi-Wan and co....

Marvel Comics Heroes We Really Want To See In The MCU Marvel Comics By Shaun Stacy/Oct. 19, 2021 1:34 pm EST One of the many things that make the MCU so amazing is the variety of characters that it contains. What started with a shot-in-the-dark film about one of the founding members of the Avengers starring a controversial Hollywood actor jumpstarted an entire cinematic universe. “Iron Man” premiered in 2008 and became a box office and critical success, as well as the genesis of what we now know today as the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

New Predator Movie: Dan Trachtenberg’s Prequel Gets A Clever New Title If it bleeds, we can kill it; if it’s greenlit, we can hype it. In 1987, John McTiernan’s “Predator” blew up big screens with the story of a paramilitary rescue mission interrupted by a strong-jawed, invisible-at-will, tech-savvy extraterrestrial. Four sequels and some crossovers later (not to mention all of the comic books, novelizations, and video games), a new predator has emerged and is ready to take some trophies....

Solitary Trailer The footage teases mysteries and secrets threatening to be revealed, both space-set and planet-bound tension and thrills, and plenty of pulse-pounding action on top of it all. Here’s the poster for “Solitary.” Vertical Entertainment “Solitary” is written and directed by filmmaker Luke Armstrong, who will be making his feature film debut after working primarily in the world of visual effects and digital compositing for much of his career.

The 12 Best Characters In No Time To Die Ranked MGM By Leah Marilla Thomas/Nov. 4, 2021 1:26 pm EST I’m not a huge Bond person. I have a passing knowledge of the lore, and sit somewhere comfortably between a luddite and an aficionado. Not to state the obvious British stereotype, but the more recent Daniel Craig films are a little stoic and dry for me, despite the occasional campy villain turn from loose cannon actors like Mads Mikkelsen and Christof Waltz....

Thanos Made a Mess of the MCU Timeline Marvel Studios “Infinity War” takes place around 2018. However, the bulk of “Endgame” takes place five years after the fact, putting it approximately in 2023. Given that the movie was released in 2019, that was one hell of a leap forward. That has provided a bit of a mess for every MCU project that is coming in Phase 4, as the timeline has to be sorted out....

What To Watch Before Venom: Let There Be Carnage Sony Pictures By Scott Thomas/Sept. 10, 2021 5:56 pm EST Film trailers are an act of escalation. At minimum, they exist to make the public aware of a project. At best, a trailer can turn a movie with buzz into something you must see, right now, no excuses. In the forever war for pop-culture dominance, trailers lead the movie studios’ charge — which means they’re often battling each other for supremacy....

‘Cruella’ Trailer: Emma Stone Stars In A Disney Villain Origin Story With Style By Ben Pearson/Feb. 17, 2021 5:22 am EST Over the past decade, Disney has made it abundantly clear that one of its primary goals is to remake, reimagine, or otherwise remix many of its classic animated properties in live-action. One of the company’s approaches is to provide origin stories for villains that cast them in new light – it happened in 2014’s Angelina Jolie-led Maleficent, and it’s happening again with another Oscar winner....

Adam’s ‘Prometheus’ Review/Rant: Big Things Have Small Beginnings (Very, Very Small Beginnings) By Adam Quigley/June 9, 2012 2:27 pm EST This review contains mild spoilers. Major spoilers have been saved for the end, and cannot be seen unless highlighted. There just has to be something meaningful under the surface. Right? When the spectacle is this detailed and carefully composed, and the mythology this intriguing, and the caliber of the cast this impressive, how disappointing would it be to find out that Prometheus indulges mindless escapism no more rewarding than that of a Michael Bay film?...
