Warner Bros/New Line/DC Films’ Black Adam is available for stream on Redbox for $6.99, and while I think it’s overpriced I have to admit that I’m tempted. Which is interesting because I don’t particularly care – Black Adam’s story seems fairly derivative at this point – though I’m really curious to see it because it […]
James Gunn is one of those directors that I feel does better when he’s forced to innovate, which is typically the case when someone doesn’t have access to resources and is forced to make do. That is no longer the case, especially after the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies though what The […]
Remember when Dwayne Johnson tried to essentially muscle his into running the DCEU by doing things like going above Walter Hamada to get Henry Cavill to cameo in Black Adam – now keep in mind that I’m not a fan of Walter Hamada, though there is a such thing as a chain of command – […]
Remember that awesome Barbie teaser trailer (which, I’ve done a reaction to, right here)? Well, apparently Stanley Kubrick – or more accurately his estate, since he died in 1999 – feels the same! Though to be honest Kubrick were alive today I get the feeling that he probably wouldn’t? After all, it’s not as if […]
The teaser trailer for Warner Bros. upcoming Barbie feature dropped today and I only looked at it out of morbid curiosity because I was certain that it wouldn’t be anything I would be interested in, that it would be likely be all girly and Barbie-ish. And I was wrong (which is certainly a surprise to […]
According to Comicbookmovie.com, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s goal is to wipe the slate clean as far as prior interpretations of DC characters in the live action space goes. And I believe that’s a likely, and more importantly, necessary step to take (and have argued it should have been taken place long before now) but […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Gunn is writing a Superman treatment sans Henry Cavill, which sounds to me like a bit of an unforced error. Supposedly the story will revolve around a younger Superman who’s already a reporter for The Daily Planet. I don’t think it’s a great move because Cavill has been treated […]
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 […]
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 […]
Remember when I wrote Can We Just Admit That Black Adam is a (Soft) Failure? Apparently I’m not the only person to think so because The Wrap has recently reached the same conclusion (you’d have to join WrapPRO to read the full article but the two paragraphs you can read gratis are enough) albeit 11 […]
