Which genuinely surprises me because I thought it was pretty safe to assume that the movie would go directly to streaming though The Hollywood Reporter has another tale to tell. Apparently a theatrical release is happening via Fantom Events, which makes me wonder who they’re expecting to see it because I’ve don’t see it as […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony and Disney are working to stop any leaks of the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer before it premieres tomorrow. My question is, why bother? I can’t speak for anyone else but I make it my business to not watch leaked trailers because more often than not they look like […]
When Walt Disney created Disney+, they were not playing because they not only began with an initial investment somewhere in the ballpark of a billion dollars, but they’re projected to increase that to $14-16 billion over the next few years. What they also did was pull their content from everywhere else, including Netflix, which means […]
Yesterday we learned that Sam Raimi was in the running to take over Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness from Scott Derrickson, who left the production due to ‘creative differences (a phrase that’s almost meaningless in that it could refer to virtually anything).’ Today The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Michael Waldron would be working […]
Netflix’s The October Faction is based on a graphic novel–which I haven’t read–though I think it’s really interesting that they haven’t surrendered the comics space to Disney+ and DC Universe. Which reminds me, if Netflix is looking to adapt a property, why not consider Dark Horse’s Comics Greatest World franchise? Sure, it was canceled but […]
This is a great teaser though the problem is that it’s fairly common knowledge that Netflix has terminated their relationship with Marvel Television, so this is the last season of Jessica Jones, no matter where the narrative was taking her. I don’t know what’s behind the bad blood between Netflix and Marvel Television but I […]
I think Christopher Nolan’s talent as a director is indisputable. The problem is that–like most of us–he finds his comfort zone, and sticks with it. Which I’m okay with if Nolan stuck to one particular genre. Instead he moves from everything from superhero movies (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises) to historical-based […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter Paramount has stopped development on a sequel to 1993’s zombie thriller World War Z. The movie has been in various states of development for years, with the most recent version being shepherded by David Fincher (The Game, Fight Club) Apparently the issue is related to budget–ironically enough, the same problem […]
When Raleigh Beckett said in 2013’s Pacific Rim that ‘…in order to fight monsters we had to create monsters of our own,’ he wasn’t talking about the current streaming environment but he might as well have been because when Disney launches Disney+–their competing, terribly-named streaming service–they intend to pull all their content from Netflix. Which […]
And speaking of content, the title of this article–while to the point–is blander than it perhaps deserves. And speaking of articles Forbes has just published one claiming to know why Netflix has cancelled it’s Marvel shows (out of five only two, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, remain). And to be honest I don’t expect either […]
