Gore Verbinski And Roger Deakins Are Working On Two New Animated Movies By Chris Evangelista/March 3, 2021 5:00 pm EST Gore Verbinski and legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins worked together on the animated film Rango, and now it looks like the two are reuniting for not one but two new animated features. Verbinski revealed the news himself, although he also remained a little tight-lipped about what we can expect. We know two things for sure: neither animated feature will be a Western, like Rango, but one of them is a musical....

Perry can kill me. Not just because he’s an intense, athletic man who worked as the stunt coordinator on John Wick: Chapter 2, a movie that is all about Keanu Reeves killing every single bad guy unfortunate enough to stand in the way of his fists and bullets....

Kevin Can F**k Himself Creator Valerie Armstrong On Getting Real About Miserable Sitcom Wives [Interview] AMC By Jeff Ewing/Dec. 13, 2021 10:32 am EST Behind the well-earned strong sentiment in the title, Valerie Armstrong’s “Kevin Can F**k Himself” is an extremely thoughtful (and funny) piece of contemporary television. The series takes respectful but incisive aim at the conventions of the old sitcoms of yore, and in particular the archaic trope of the schlubby man-child husband with the gorgeous, oddly subservient wife....

Diversity in Marvel Studios Casting Marvel Comics Marvel already has a must-watch “Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” coming in December 2022, but remember, there’s a nightmare before Christmas, or at least another commercial holiday, called Halloween. If there’s one thing Marvel knows, it’s how to make commercial entertainment. For a time, “Avengers: Endgame” ranked as the highest-grossing film ever, and the only reason it was unseated from that position is because James Cameron’s “Avatar,” the previous record holder, went into re-release in China this year....

Netflix’s Trailer For Seinfeld Is Making Us Thirsty! Castle Rock Entertainment By Anya Stanley/Sept. 17, 2021 5:35 pm EST Get OUT! The iconic ’90s American sitcom “Seinfeld” is making its 180-episode debut on Netflix this October. We’ve all got a friend or two who, for some reason, missed a cultural touchstone growing up. Me? Despite growing up in the ’90s, I’ve never watched a single episode of “Friends.” I know a few folks who came up in the same era, with the same access to television, who have never caught the goings-on of Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer....

Producer Scott Rudin Is “Stepping Back” From His Film And Streaming Work In The Wake Of Abuse Claims By Ben Pearson/April 20, 2021 2:00 pm EST Mega-producer Scott Rudin is seemingly about to do something few Hollywood bigwigs have ever had to do: suffer consequences for his actions. The Oscar-winning producer, whose credits include films like No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, The Social Network, Uncut Gems, and many more, has announced that he is “stepping back” from his upcoming film and streaming projects after The Hollywood Reporter published a piece detailing his violent, abusive behavior toward multiple co-workers....

Hayden Christensen Returns for Ahsoka Lucasfilm After making a voice cameo as a Force Ghost in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and returning as Darth Vader in the upcoming Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Hayden Christensen will once again play Anakin Skywalker in the “Ahsoka” series featuring Rosario Dawson. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed with multiple sources that Christensen will be appearing in the Disney+ series, but it’s unclear how Skywalker will figure into “Ahsoka,” which, like “The Mandalorian,” is set five years after the events of “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi....

Warner Bros. Will Now Evenly Split Its Movies Between Theatrical And HBO Max Warner Bros. By Danielle Ryan/Oct. 28, 2021 8:28 am EST The COVID-19 pandemic changed many things, among them the way movies are released. The future of movie distribution is looking a little fuzzy, with studios weighing the options of theatrical exclusivity or hybrid streaming releases. Some movies have done really well with hybrid releases, like Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune,” while others have seriously underperformed....

Watch: Michael Bay Shares An Explosive Stunt Video From His Latest Movie, ‘Ambulance’ By Ben Pearson/Feb. 24, 2021 2:00 pm EST The King of Explosions is back, baby – but if he’s not careful, his overwhelming desire to blow stuff up real good might literally be the death of him. Michael Bay, the director of honest-to-God action classics like The Rock and, uh, anti-classics like Transformers: Age of Extinction, is currently hard at work making a new thriller called Ambulance, which is filming in Los Angeles....

Netflix has released a new Lupin Part 2 trailer announcing the release date for the next five episodes of the hit French caper series.

‘Rock Of Ages’ Trailer: Like Watching A Megabudget Celebrity Rock Band Party By Russ Fischer/April 2, 2012 5:00 pm EST Let me say one thing first: this is the sort of role I think Tom Cruise does well. A variation on the arrogant, overbearing personality with a core of self-doubt has served him well in a few films here and there. So I hoped that playing big-time rock star Stacee Jaxx in Adam Shankman’s ’80s c**k rock jukebox musical Rock of Ages might work, too....
