Everything We Know About Wonder Woman 3 So Far Warner Bros. By Sandy Schaefer/Nov. 18, 2021 10:56 am EST Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman” was a bolt of lightning upon its release in 2017, giving the DCEU its first critically acclaimed film and beating “Captain Marvel” to the punch of being the first major female superhero movie in the post-“Iron Man” world.

What is Renfield about? Universal Pictures “Renfield,” according to director Chris McKay, is the story of Dracula (Nicolas freaking Cage) told “through the lens of Dracula as a sh***y boss,” which sounds sort of like the relationship between Nandor and Guillermo on “What We Do in the Shadows.” What is it with vampires treating their familiars so poorly? Mckay also described the movie as “going far away from what you would typically think of a Dracula movie,” which is kind of exciting....

Ridley Scott Confirms Blade Runner And Alien TV Series Are Being Developed Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 22, 2021 9:54 am EST We’re rapidly running out of ways to say this, but Ridley Scott is 83 years of age and is currently enjoying productivity levels that those of us half his age and younger can only ever dream of. After releasing the “Rashomon”-like historical epic “The Last Duel” earlier this year to largely positive reviews (though to markedly less enthusiastic box office results), Scott still has “House of Gucci” and its parade of incredible Italian accents — which, it must be noted, star Lady Gaga maintained off-camera for months — set to release later this week....

Tales From The Box Office: Ghostbusters 2016 Oddly Paved The Way For Ghostbusters: Afterlife Sony Pictures By Ryan Scott/Nov. 20, 2021 2:27 pm EST In modern Hollywood, franchises don’t stay dead for long. This weekend is proving as an illustration to that very point, as “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” is hitting theaters just five years after “Ghostbusters” (2016) failed quite spectacularly to reignite the long-dormant and beloved horror/comedy series. This new entry (which is more of a proper “Ghostbusters 3” in the way “Creed” was “Rocky VII”) was originally supposed to come out last year, which would have been a wait of just four years between reboots....

Having spent her entire existence in a cartoon world where animals talk and sing, Giselle is understandably out of her element in New York City, where she ends up....

Tom Hardy “Would Do Anything” For His Venom To Meet Spider-Man By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 11, 2021 7:39 am EST Among comic fans, this been one of the bigger questions hanging over the head of Sony’s emerging Venom franchise. How much sense does it make for the symbiote to have an origin story completely divorced from Spider-Man? In terms of the source material, it’s a valid question. The real-world answer, on the other hand, is a little more banal than that: It’s about corporate rights issues!...
