Quentin Tarantino’s Sharon Tate Film Casts Brad Pitt & Leonardo DiCaprio #movienews

Quentin Tarantino’s ninth directorial effort secured Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as its stars, and is officially titled Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Tarantino has been a high profile talent since he burst onto the Hollywood scene. Ever since, he’s maintained that he’ll retire from filmmaking after directing ten movies. His last creation hit theaters at the end of 2015 with the release of The Hateful Eight, and since then he’s been developing a movie set in 1969 Hollywood that includes links to the Manson Murders through the death of Sharon Tate.

The project has heated up in recent months after a bidding war to distribute Tarantino’s next ...

Shazam! Star Zachary Levi Teases Official Suit Reveal ‘At Some Point’ #movienews

Zachary Levi reacts to the leaked photos of him in costume for Shazam!, while teasing the upcoming official reveal. Warner Bros. has made a habit to epically unveil the first looks at several important characters in their DC universe. Whether that came in the single image of Ben Affleck under the cowl, the reveal of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, the entire Suicide Squad lineup, or even how Jason Momoa looked as Aquaman, the studio typically planned ahead. They had such a plan for Shazam! too, but that window has officially passed.

Wonder Woman 2: Kristen Wiig in Talks for Cheetah Villain Role #movienews

Warner Bros. may have found its Cheetah for Wonder Woman 2 as the studio is reportedly in talks with Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live) for the villainous role. After the soft launch of the DC Films’ franchise with Man of Steel, Warner Bros. kicked off their superhero shared universe in earnest with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, after the mixed responses to both Batman V Superman and the following series entry Suicide Squad, fans – and, no doubt, the studio – were hoping for an unequivocal success. That arrived in the summer of 2017 with Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman.

Black Hole Comic Book Movie Lands Dope Director Rick Famuyiwa #movienews

Writer/director Rick Famuyiwa is boarding the long developing movie adaptation of Charles Burns’ cult comic book series Black Hole, with New Regency and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment producing. Famuyiwa was once attached to oversee Warner Bros. and DC’s upcoming Flash solo movie Flashpoint starring Ezra Miller, before he stepped down back in October of 2016. The filmmaker’s would-be DC superhero project is well in his rearview mirror by now, as he’s moved onto different ventures that include the pilot episode for Showtime’s TV drama The Chi (though that didn’t stop him from throwing some shade at Justice League on social media recently).

Jason Voorhees Statue Left in Minnesota Lake to Scare Divers #movienews

Minnesota is known as “The Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and apparently Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th film series is at the bottom of one of them. Jason, of course, is one of modern horror’s most enduring icons, following the character’s smashing debut in the 1980 classic Friday the 13th. Since then, the demented serial killer from Camp Crystal Lake has slashed his way through eight subsequent Friday the 13th chapters (nine if you include Jason X), as well as the attempted reboot of the series with a 2009 film.

Apart from the films, the specter of Jason has also managed to creep into psyches of over-imaginative people pitching tents at campsites all over the world, leaving that last dreadful thought in their minds before they go to sleep whether they’ll be visited by a goalie mask-wearing, machete-wielding murderer in the overnight hours. If that isn’t enough, a genius ...

Chris Hemsworth is in early talks to star in Sony’s Men in Black reboot/spinoff. Starting in 1997 with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, Sony successfully found a new franchise to play with. Secret agents working to protect the planet from intergalactic threats gave Men in Black a great mixture of humor and action. The movie spawned two sequels, the latter of which came in 2012, but Men in Black 3 was not the franchise revival Sony was looking for.

Instead, the studio turned their attention to spinoffs to bring back the mysterious alien fighting group. The idea of crossing MIB over with 21 Jump Street fizzled quickly, and has since left ...

With little in the way of competition, it’s set to add even more to its global haul (well past $700 million at this point).

Based on the latest box office projections, Black Panther should surpass Avengers: Age of Ultron domestically after just three weekends. Marvel Studios has an ironclad track record commercially, but even for them, Black Panther is something special. Riding waves of positive buzz, the film annihilated the February record and hasn’t slowed down since. It’s in very exclusive company, reaching the $400 million mark in just 10 days time. The only film to top that figure quicker is Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Black Panther is essentially a lock to become the MCU’s fifth $1 billion title – and the first sans Iron Man.

Bruce Willis Confirms Die Hard 6 is Still Moving Forward #movienews

Bruce Willis has confirmed the long-gestating Die Hard 6 is still happening. The original Die Hard is 30 years old this year and was breath of fresh air when first released. Movies in the 1980s had been dominated by indestructible muscle men like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Die Hard instead featured a normal, everyman cop caught up in a siege and just struggling to stay alive.

Die Hard spawned four sequels, but with each follow-up, the everyman quality of John McClane got stripped further away. The character got caught up in increasingly outlandish situations, and by A Good Day To Die Hard he was hanging off helicopters and getting thrown through windows with barely a scratch to show for it. The next movie has been dubbed Die Hard: Year One, and is said to be a prequel/sequel, featuring modern-day McClane ...

Despite everything from The Hunger Games to Frozen proving women-led films were box office goldmines, it wasn’t until Wonder Woman surprised everyone last year that studios seemed to perk up. Similarly, from Blade to the Fast & Furious franchise, films showcasing people of color in the lead bring more people (and money) to theaters. It’s for that reason theater owners have been demanding more diversity in movies for years, and Black Panther once again proves how effective they are.

Initially, Snyder envisioned it as the culmination of his own Superman trilogy, following Man of Steel and Batman V Superman.

Black Panther Becomes Third Highest-Grossing MCU Release #movienews

Black Panther is now the third-highest earner domestically for the MCU, sitting behind only The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Marvel’s latest film is continuing to outperform expectations, much like Wonder Woman did last year.

Avengers: Infinity War Toys Offer New Look At Thanos’ Black Order #movienews

A new batch of toys have arrived for Avengers: Infinity War, offering character details for Thor and Spider-Man and giving us a better look at Thanos’ Black Order. Though Marvel has been incredibly secretive about Avengers 3—we’ve yet to even see a full-length trailer—a lot of information has been revealed in supplemental ways. Set photos and videos gave us early teases about the Black Order long before they were officially confirmed. Meanwhile, as is increasingly the case with blockbusters, toys for the film have teased even more about the characters and their costumes and weapons.

Not long ago, we got a look at the Avengers: Infinity War ...

Charlize Theron Jokes That She’s Too Old for James Bond #movienews

Charlize Theron is flattered by fans who think she’d make a great female James Bond – but she thinks she’s too old for the role. Theron has proven remarkably versatile as an actress, jumping from weighty dramas to silly comedies with ease. She received a whole new fanbase thanks to her work in Mad Max: Fury Road, where she played Furiosa. It was her character who drove the story forward, and she kicked as much ass – if not more – than Tom Hardy’s Max.

Theron also made an impression with 2017’s Atomic Blonde, where she played an MI6 agent in 1989 Berlin. The movie contained one ...

Shazam! Set Photo Offers First Look at Zachary Levi in Costume #movienews

A set photo from DC Films’ Shazam! reveals our first look at Zachary Levi in costume as the titular superhero. Warner Bros. has been building its DC Films shared universe in earnest since they debuted Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. However, that film wasn’t well received by critics or fans and was followed by the even less well received Suicide Squad. Though it seemed the shared superhero universe was righting its ship with the critically and financially successful Wonder Woman, Justice League was another miss for the franchise.

That said, DC Films has a number of exciting projects on their upcoming slate, including James Wan’s ...

Alfie Director Lewis Gilbert Dies At 97 #movienews

British director Lewis Gilbert, the man behind the camera on over 40 films, has passed away just a couple of weeks shy of his 98th birthday according to THR. Gilbert was born March 6, 1920 in Hackney London. His parents were both music hall performers and Gilbert spent his childhood on the road with them while they toured, being hidden in the luggage racks of trains to save his parents buying him a ticket.

At the age of five Gilbert was tasked with driving a trick car on stage for one show, and audiences were so delighted that Gilbert and his car became the regular end of his parent’s act. Only two years later, when Gilbert was seven, his ...

As it turns out, after New Mutants rolls out in theaters early next year, 20th Century Fox is planning three more X-Men films in both 2019 and 2020. Since news broke that Disney was in active talks with Fox to buy their film and TV division, Marvel fans have been wondering how the two separate superhero franchises from Marvel Studios and Fox could come together.

New Mutants is Adding a New Character During Reshoots #movienews

As Josh Boone’s New Mutants heads for some reshoots, it sounds like the movie is undergoing something of an overhaul as it adds a brand new character.

In keeping with FOX’s darker world of X-Men movies, New Mutants promises to be a genre-defining superhero horror. Focusing on a younger team of mutants as they come to grips with their powers, the movie will be a loose adaptation of Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz’s ‘Demon Bear Saga’ from the ’80s. The current roster of character for New Mutants already includes Anya Taylor-Joy as Magik, Charlie Heaton as Cannonball, and Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane. However, it sounds like we will find some new blood to come under the care of Dr. Cecilia Reyes.

Silver Surfer Movie Being Written By Brian K. Vaughn #movienews

Among the “secret” Marvel projects being developed by Fox is a Silver Surfer solo movie that Runaways and Y: The Last Man comic book creator Brian K. Vaughn is writing. A film starring the metalloid space traveler is something that no less than Stan “The Man” Lee has expressed a desire to see, with Lee referring to Silver Surfer as “the most philosophical” of all the comic book characters that he’s worked on. Back in 2012, there were even rumors that Marvel Studios was trying to barter for the movie rights to the Surfer and his master Galactus, in exchange for the film rights to Daredevil.

Obviously, much has changed since ...
