As Levinson rushed to write a script based loosely on his own experiences of failing to thank his wife at a movie premiere, he and Zendaya brought on Tenet star John David Washington for a movie at the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster; the Euphoria crew, in a COVID bubble in California, were able to keep working for a few weeks in June 2020 when so many others were laid off....
It’s a brilliant showcase for the young actor, and one she visibly held very dear when she spoke to the CCA press after accepting her award. In fact, during a winners table press conference, Bakalova confirmed she wouldn’t mind revisiting Tutar in a Borat 3, should Baron Cohen ever change his mind about making a third film. (To date, the writer-actor-producer has said he’s done with Borat, but then he also appeared done with the character 14 years ago following the original film’s release....
The fact that Midnight Suns isn’t really an XCOM-style game may be the talking point that ends up defining the early conversation about this project, but the first thing that will probably jump out at you about this game is its name. Who or what are the Midnight Suns? Why are they seemingly so concerned about a character named Lilith? Who is the mysterious hero that is so prominently featured in the game’s debut trailer?...
Marvel Studios has put Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool 3 into pre-production, with the Merc with a Mouth continuing his filthy ways at the Mouse House. Confirmation of this comes with the announcement of Deadpool 3 hiring sisters Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneaux-Loeglin (via Deadline) as the screenwriters of the new film. The hiring is the first official movement Deadpool 3 has seen since the Disney-Fox acquisition was finalized last year, as well as the first that includes Kevin Feige as a producer on a mutant-related movie since he became head of Marvel Studios....
Let’s start at the beginning… Captain America: Civil War Though Peter Parker’s existence was referenced at the end of 2015’s Ant-Man, he didn’t appear in the MCU in person for the first time until Captain America: Civil War in 2016. A young Tom Holland was added to the cast of the ensemble film as Spider-Man in a coup between Sony and Marvel Studios, who joined forces to make it happen in what was considered to be a pretty big deal both now and then!...
Despite such inauspicious beginnings, however, Freddy Vs. Jason ended up being a massive hit, raking in $116.6 million off the back of a modest $30m budget. All of a sudden, crossover movies were in vogue. The kind of pop culture hybridization once reserved for the world of comic books was becoming big business in Hollywood. Freddy Vs. Jason was soon followed by Paul W.S. Anderson’s Alien vs. Predator which also cleaned up at box office making $177....
As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the Minecraft movie was recently scheduled to be released on March 4, 2022. Now, though, Warner Bros. confirms that the movie’s release has been pushed back from that date and that no updated release date for the project is available at this time. While it’s entirely possible that WB is just trying to find the best way to squeeze Minecraft into their now-chaotic production schedule, we wouldn’t be surprised if they simply don’t know what the status of the project is and what a realistic timeframe for its release looks like....
Nonetheless, Mortal Kombat spent the rest of the weekend executing strong fatalities on screens in front of limited capacity audiences around the country, winning the weekend and earning more in three days than Tenet did in 10 in North America last September (Tenet earned about $20 million its first week). In fact, despite having the same HBO Max hybrid rollout model, Mortal Kombat also grossed more than Wonder Woman 1984 did over its much anticipated Christmas Day release (WW84 earned $16....
Heck, Marvel Studios has based a sizable portion of its winning formula on the prospect of teasing their next 15 projects through a sprinkling of “easter eggs” in each new movie. This is done, in part, on the assumption that media outlets will write ad nauseam about them. And you know what? Guilty as charged. Yet with the term’s emerging popularity, it becomes a curiosity, then, where the turn of phrase came from....
Ms. Marvel Episode 5 Hoo boy. Well, we had a good run with Ms. Marvel. Four terrific episodes in a row. But unfortunately here we are at the penultimate one, and Marvel’s six-episode Disney+ structure has become massively problematic for the show’s core story. Not only that, but the MCU’s headache-inducing time travel rules get a pummelling while the writers seek to smooth them over with a “just go with it” attitude....
My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode Episode 6 “I will destroy everything.” Shigaraki and Midoriya have been on parallel paths where they’re destined to clash for far longer than either of them have realized. Last season adeptly set up the showdown that’s about to be in motion and Shigaraki is finally back in action and ready to make up for lost time. “Encounter, Part 2” follows the events of last week’s “The Thrill of Destruction,” but it’s also just as much a continuation of My Hero Academia’s season two finale, “Encounter,” where Deku and Shigaraki first share a foreboding meeting....
Nancy Drew Season 2, Episode 3 Ever since Nancy Drew decided that ghosts are real back in its very first episode, the series has had to walk a fine line: Make its supernatural baddies genuinely scary, but not so much that they overshadow the rest of the show. “The Secret of Solitary Scribe” is a great example of when that balance works – combining multiple legitimately scary sequences with solid character work....
Dakota Johnson as Anne Elliot You don’t need telling that one big role shot 32-year-old Dakota Johnson to fame. That’s right, the daughter of Working Girl star Melanie Griffith and Miami Vice’s Don Johnson played Kevin’s replacement in The Office: An American Workplace finale. (Also: Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades franchise.) Johnson’s she’s been acting on screen since she was 10 years old so had clocked up a long list of small, mostly movie roles before playing Ms....
Indeed, one of the secrets to the series’ success is that it added layers of complexity to stories that had previously only been told in pixelated form on 8-bit and 16-bit consoles. Netflix’s Castlevania not only explored new facets of iconic characters like Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, and Alucard but it gave their stories added historical context, placing them right in the middle of Game of Thrones-like power struggles of the land of Wallachia during the Middle Ages....
This month sees the usual arrival of Netflix original offerings. The big draw is undoubtedly the premiere of Bridgerton season 2 on March 25. Say what you will about the beloved period drama, but more corgis in the world is never a bad thing. Also arriving in March are He-Man and the Masters of the Universe season 2 (March 3), Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources (March 18), and Toni Collette mystery series Pieces of Her (March 9)....
These guardians of the Lental region play vital roles New Pokémon Snap’s plot, but just because they’ve been cast in leading roles doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to easily find them in the game. In fact, there’s a good chance you could work your way through most of New Pokémon Snap and not even know some of them exist. To help you avoid missing out on some of the best photos in the game, here’s a quick look at the locations of New Pokémon Snap’s Illumina Pokémon and how to take proper pictures of them....
While the main Obi-Wan Kenobi cast set to join star movie-role-reprising star Ewan McGregor was officially announced back in March, the names and descriptions of their characters were (in)conveniently omitted, leaving fans to speculate wildly—at least outside of returnees Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse, who are clearly playing their respective Prequel movie roles as Owen and Beru Lars, and Hayden Christensen, who—in an unknown context—returns as Darth Vader. Yet, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Nanjiani slightly lifts the thick veil of mystery covering his character....
With the PGA winners announced Saturday and the SAG awards held on Sunday, the weekend created the illusion of dual frontrunners between Sam Mendes’ World War I drama and Bong Joon-ho’s foreign language critical darling. While 1917 always looked like a strong frontrunner due to its conventional subject matter (at least per awards voters’ tastes) of a war story about sacrifice, no Korean film has ever won the SAG’s Best Ensemble prize....
Outlander Season 6 has crossed the halfway point in this shortened season. Den Of Geek was unable to visit Jamie and Claire’s living room, but we did have a long chat with Christiana Ebohon-Green to go behind the scenes on episodes 4 and 5, discover more about her directing style, and also what it means to be a Black professional in a predominately white UK media industry. DEN OF GEEK: How would you describe your directing style, for somebody who has no idea what directing even entails?...
Outlander Season 3, Episode 12 Have you ever gone to a party and it seems like everyone you’ve ever met is there? That was more or less the plot of tonight’s Outlander, which saw Claire and Jamie finally arriving in Kingston, Jamaica and getting serious about their search for Young Ian. This led our favorite couple to the house of Jamaica’s governor, and to an extravagant gala… because what good is a period drama without an opulent party awkwardly built on the back of a slave trade to which the show’s protagonists half-heartedly object?...
