What the newly minted DCU (what I assume means ‘DC Universe’ as opposed to formerly the DCEU – the DC Cinematic Universe) does not need is drama, but that’s what’s happening. The trades recently reported that Patty Jenkins sank Wonder Woman 3 due to an unwillingness to change her screenplay, based on studio notes. Today […]
I enjoy Netflix for the most part though I just wish they’d stop trying to adapt anime into live-action because – at least so far – they don’t do it particularly well. Remember 2017’s Death Note? You probably don’t and I can’t blame you. What about 2021’s Cowboy Bebop? By my reckoning it was better […]
Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is likely to finish its theatrical run somewhere in the ballpark of $800-850 million, which is pretty damn good, though I’m reasonably sure there will be someone who’ll says ‘Black Panther: Wakanda‘ Forever underperformed compared to the first movie.’ And by looking strictly at the numbers, that’s – fairly […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn and Peter Safran have completed their work on a new bible for the DC Studios – did they really need to go to Aspen to hammer things out though? It always bugs me when companies lay off people, which Warner Bros and it’s various divisions have been doing […]
Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is closing in on the $750 million mark ($733,024,077) at the worldwide box office though whether or not it hits a billion has a lot to do when Avatar: The Way of Water comes out. And that’s December 12 – today is December 4 – which means Wakanda Forever […]
Let’s be clear, Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear is likely to be dumb as shit. And sure it’s based on an actual event, but like most movies that make that claim it’s likely to neglect the more pertinent details of the story, which is that four-legged animals can overdose – and die – just as easily […]
Apparently Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, etc.) is no longer working with Netflix, according to Comicbook.com, which is based on an article from The Wrap that expands upon Flanagan and producing partner Trevor Macy moving their Intrepid Pictures production shingle […]
At the Mountains of Madness may make it to the screen after all, though whether little or big is anybody’s guess. In an Indiewire interview Guillermo del Toro talks about his upcoming Pinocchio on Netflix and how animation (of the stop motion variety) inspired his work in live action. Pinocchio was Guillermo del Toro’s stop […]
This is a question for the ages because the original Black Panther earned $1.3 billion worldwide in 2018, so it’s reasonable to assume it’s sequel would perform well; the question is only HOW well, not the aforementioned performance in and of itself. Which I ask because Disney – which happens to be the same company […]
I have yet to see Dark, but I’ve heard good things about it and intend to soon though having completed the followup, 1899 – review forthcoming! – if it’s half as good it’s going to be remarkable. And I have no intention of talking about what happens – beyond the obvious, which is to say […]
