While revenue and earnings were up, Disney+ subscriber growth slowed big time, with the Mouse House failing to meet Wall Street expectations. As a result, the company’s stock took a pretty huge hit in the early going Thursday, dipping as much as 9%....

Jessica Jones Star Krysten Ritter Really, Really Wants To Play The Marvel Hero Again Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 15, 2021 5:01 pm EST “Jessica Jones” may not have the instant name familiarity compared to other Marvel heroes like Captain America or Spider-Man, but after three seasons of a series over at Netflix, star Krysten Ritter managed to drum up a loyal following. Fans were devastated when Netflix canceled the show citing low-ratings as justification, but few were more heartbroken than Ritter....

Mark Wahlberg Won’t Be In ‘The Crow’ Reboot; Cracks Jokes About ‘The Happening’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 23, 2010 7:58 am EST This might be the time to wonder what the odds are of actually seeing the reboot of The Crow on which we’ve reported over the past year and change. Stephen Norrington was attached to direct for some time, and he’d written a script that, with polish work done by Nick Cave, was generating interest....

By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 8, 2021 4:00 pm EST Remember 2020? I’m sure you do since it was only a few days ago and also a nightmare. In addition to all the other crazy s*** that happened last year, 2020 was also the first time in 11 years that moviegoers were denied a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. The delay was due to COVID-19, and, as of now, Marvel hopes to release at least four new MCU films in 2021, along with the MCU show WandaVision, which is hitting Disney+, all of which are part of Phase Four of the MCU....

Marvel’s Eternals Post-Credits Scene Almost Featured An Avenger Marvel Studios By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 10, 2021 11:01 am EST Marvel’s “Eternals” has sparked some divisive reactions across the web. The film has landed a disappointing 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, but that shouldn’t scare you away from seeing the movie, especially with the audience score sitting at 80% on the review aggregator. It’s certainly not stopping people from talking about the film’s two credits sequences that introduce some of the more obscure Marvel Comics characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Michael Bay Says Armageddon Was ‘Not Far Off’ From NASA Asteroid Mission Buena Vista Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 29, 2021 11:41 am EST Who among us hasn’t tried to take credit — even with tongue firmly planted in cheek — for multi-million dollar space ventures created in the pursuit of scientific knowledge and planetary defense? I can’t speak for everyone, but that’s pretty much a normal weekday for me. It probably won’t come as much of a surprise to most that none other than blockbuster filmmaker Michael Bay would be the first to draw some rather interesting parallels between a currently ongoing NASA mission with incredible ramifications on the future of humanity’s collective existence … and the 1998 disasterpiece known as “Armageddon....

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City Featurette: Bringing The Creepy Creatures Of The Game To Life Sony Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 19, 2021 8:19 pm EST With less than a week to go before the premiere of “Resident Evil: Raccoon City,” the special featurettes from Sony are still coming at us fast.

Sing 2: Release Date, Cast And More Illumination Entertainment By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 16, 2021 2:05 pm EST If you simply can’t handle the silliness of “Despicable Me” and the “Minions” franchises, Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment offered a nice musical alternative in 2016 with “Sing.” The animated film took place in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals and followed a struggling theater owner who decided to hold a singing competition, offering an exciting opportunity for a variety of animals from all walks of life to make their dreams come true....

What Makes It Great Funimation Though not directly a sequel, “Dynazenon” is constantly calling back to its predecessor, making it essential to watch both shows to get the full experience. Several scenes replicate the same framing as scenes in “Gridman,” including an episode that is a near-perfect mirror of an episode of that show. But rather than just offer references and nods, “Dynazenon” uses these mirrors in order to reinterpret the same imagery through a new lens in a sort of thematic “Rashomon” — like how the score remixes the same song over and over and makes it feel fresh every time....

Steven Spielberg Is Considering Making A Western Next Disney By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 3, 2021 12:31 pm EST You don’t become one of the most acclaimed and widely celebrated filmmakers alive by stubbornly refusing to branch out or otherwise challenge yourself to reach new heights. Though he somewhat unfairly gets generalized as a safe filmmaker, Steven Spielberg has sampled all sorts of tones and genres throughout his incredible career. “Jaws” and “Jurassic Park” are rightfully canonized as horror staples, while “A....

The Best Keira Knightley Movies Ranked Focus Features By Fiona Underhill/Nov. 12, 2021 8:21 pm EST Keira Knightley is the queen of the past — she is probably the one name most associated with period films over the last 20 years. In fact, it’s easy to forget that Knightley is only 36, as she has both been acting for so long and also played brides in two movies (“Love Actually” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”) while still aged just 17....
