Celebrating the digital and home release of Avengers: Endgame, VFX Supervisor Dan DeLeeuw took the opportunity to speak to Screen Rant about his role in making Marvel’s biggest blockbuster. The culmination of 11 years’ worth of storytelling, Avengers: Endgame was a challenge on a whole different scale to any Marvel movie. Fortunately, the studio had VFX Supervisor Dan
1 hour ago I love this idea. Jungle Cruise is an upcoming Disney movie, based on the Disney theme park ride. Pirates of the Caribbean became a wildly succcessful film franchise after also being adapted from a theme park ride. So could the films be part of the same universe? CinemaBlend asked that “cool question”
The idea that every American is a self-made millionaire waiting to happen is one of the more pernicious side effects of capitalism. It’s also one put on repeat by those looking to exploit other with the misguided assurance that if everyone just works hard and applies themselves, they too can live a life of luxury and
Who wants to spend the night in a Star Wars spaceship? Disney has unveiled brand new details about the Galactic Starcruiser resort, which is so much more than a hotel. We’ve heard bits and pieces about the immersive experience coming to Walt Disney World, but as revealed at the D23 Expo, it’s come to light
1 hour ago As 2019’s summer season reaches an end, we may remember it as a moment when moviegoers couldn’t get enough of live-action remakes and superhero genre epics. But when looking in restrospect to last summer’s movie offerings, Crazy Rich Asians was the standout movie of the season that turned some tides for Hollywood
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad for Warner Bros. continues to flesh out its cast, as the project has reportedly cast comedian Steve Agee for a major role. According to a new report, Steve Agee will provide the voiceover to humanoid shark supervillain King Shark. This will be King Shark’s first appearance in a big screen
In one of the biggest cases of corporate irony, Disney‘s own copyright lobbying in the 1990s ultimately cost the MCU its Spider-Man. The last week has seen the dramatic breakdown of the Marvel/Sony deal, which allowed Marvel to reboot Spider-Man as part of the MCU. It’s probably the single biggest blow Marvel’s shared universe has suffered since
2 hours ago Needless to say, this tiny bit of footage blew the roof off of the Anaheim Convention Center – but it wasn’t only the 7,000 fans in attendance who were totally shocked by what was shown on the arena’s multiple screens. Daisy Ridley was also totally surprised that the scene was included in
Disney revealed the first footage from its Jungle Cruise movie at D23. The Mouse House scored an unexpectedly huge hit when it turned its Pirates of the Caribbean ride into a live-action film in 2003. However, it has struggled to do the same with other popular attractions from its theme parks, with both The Haunted Mansion and Tomorrowland
It looks like Netflix was indeed up to something sneaky today. The Breaking Bad movie is officially on the way, streaming October 11, and we now have the teaser trailer to prove it. Earlier, during the constant barrage of Disney news coming out of D23, one Breaking Bad fan noticed something peculiar on the official
56 minutes ago While Frozen 2 is coming out in just a few short months, we surprisingly know very little about it. We’ve seen a pair of trailers, the last of which was posted in June, but for the most part details have been kept to a minimum. We’ll likely have to wait until the
A Netflix leak may have confirmed the title and plot details for the Breaking Bad movie. Said to be a sequel following Jesse Pinkman, word of the project first came out last fall. Vince Gilligan was set to write and direct the feature, which reportedly included a number of Breaking Bad veterans in the cast. Despite all this,
Disney’s Jungle Cruise movie was previewed at D23 today by Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. The two playfully gave an overview of the story and revealed what long-time fans of the Disneyland ride can expect when the movie finally hits theaters. Johnson sailed into the large hall riding a wheeled river boat, which earned him
10 minutes ago For the last eight years, the majority of Kit Harington’s acting career has been devoted to Game of Thrones, though he still managed to do the occasional movie here and there. Now that the HBO series has concluded and Jon Snow is starting a new life beyond the Wall, Harrington is free
The Batman family has faced many enemies over the years, but the rise of Bane in DC’s Universe has just changed them forever. Batman may end up saving the day and defeating Bane once and for all… but it’s too late to save his beloved butler. This history-making news will be hard for fans to accept
Reports of the Thor: Love and Thunder script seem to have been greatly exaggerated. It was recently reported that director Taika Waititi had already completed the screenplay for his next MCU adventure. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as the filmmaker has taken to Twitter to debunk that news. On the contrary, it
55 minutes ago For those of you who were wondering if Disney+’s take on Lady and the Tramp would be moved to a modern day setting, that won’t be the case. Just like its predecessor, it will take place sometime in the late 1900s-early 1910s. So as you would expect, just like Beauty and the
The young new star of Disney’s adaptation of Jerry Spinelli’s Stargirl, Grace VanderWaal, took the stage at D23 today to introduce the film in which she makes her acting debut. She promised that her character is “just completely herself,” painting the movie as an inspirational story for young kids. Julia Hart is directing the film
Birth Of The Dragon from 2016 purports to tell the story of Bruce Lee’s real-life fight with Wong Jack Man – but the movie takes many liberties with the truth. Bruce Lee was already considered an icon before he died at the tragically young age of 32. Lee was a gifted martial artist who trained
31 minutes ago There are few actors who can command the kind of presence on the big screen as Morgan Freeman has proven time and time again. The 82-year-old actor has played the role of God, Nelson Mandela, right hand man to the Nolan’s Batman and just about every kind of role in between. He
The 2020 Oscars represent Adam Driver’s best chances at a win to date. While he is best known to modern audiences as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Driver was amassing an impressive filmography before he joined the galaxy far, far away. Prior to his first appearance in the Star Wars franchise, Driver had already worked
Bob Iger presented Robert Downey Jr. with the Disney Legends Award at the D23 Expo. The Tony Stark actor used the acceptance platform to share a story about getting detained at Disneyland for smoking marijuana back in the 1980s before launching into a serious speech. In addition to Downey Jr., Disney resorts executive Wing Chao,
6 minutes ago Not many women can say they’ve kissed Brad Pitt, and I’d imagine if you have, it’d be something to boast about. Not for Kirsten Dunst. The actress gave him a peck on the lips for 1994’s Interview With a Vampire in one of her first big-screen roles ever. Now that it has
Marc Maron still doesn’t like comic book movies. The comedian stars in the upcoming Joker movie and recently doubled down on his previous comments, noting that the genre is for “grown, male nerd childs.” This may come as an insult for some, but this is a part of Maron’s act and it has been since
The original Star Wars movie’s release was certainly a groundbreaking event for the entertainment industry, but the same can also be said about its re-release, which makes all other theatrical re-releases since then seem a bit tiny in comparison. Often times a blockbuster movie’s success can be predicted simply based on its opening weekend gross,
35 minutes ago The end of this month will mark the 10 year anniversary of the Walt Disney Company buying Marvel Entertainment, and to say that time has been stellar would be an understatement. Even without discussing comics, merchandise, and theme park influences, the brand has been a massive acquisition for the company for the
The long-in-the-works Uncharted movie has just faced yet another set back as director Dan Trachtenberg has left the project. Trachtenberg, known best for his work on 10 Cloverfield Lane, boarded the video game adaptation back in January. Tom Holland, who is surely already having a rough week, given what’s going on with Spider-Man, is still
One-Punch Man: Road to Hero launched today for western audiences on the iOS and Google Play stores. The mobile game follows the storyline’s first season with dozens of chapters for players to overcome. According to publisher Oasis Games, the second season’s storyline will be included at a later unspecified date. Additionally, over 50 characters from the series
10 minutes ago Sounds about right indeed. With the kind of material Mike Flanagan shared on Twitter, it’s highly unlikely Doctor Sleep could have gotten away with a PG-13 rating. Few film adaptations of Stephen King’s work do (the most recent one was The Dark Tower, and King believes that was a reason it suffered
