Top Gun: How a Single Flight Changed the Course of the Movie

New DVD release
Screenwriter Jack Epps Jr. took the assignment to write a movie called Top Gun in the mid-1980s for one reason: he wanted to fly in a fighter jet. “I have my private pilot’s license that I got when I was an undergraduate at Michigan State, so as a private pilot, I said, ‘Well, that’d be fun,’” Epps tells Den of Geek during a recent Zoom chat. “At least I’ll get a jet ride out of it, if nothing else.’” Epps and his writing partner, the late Jim Cash, got a lot more out of it than that out of Top…

James Gunn Teases “Incredible” Maria Bakalova in Guardians of the Galaxy 3

New DVD release
How do you follow up starring in a sequel to a beloved comedy, getting an Oscar nomination, and publicly embarrassing a political leader? If you’re Maria Bakalova, you go to space. Since her scene-stealing performance as Tutar Sagdiyev in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Bakalova has appeared in several projects, including the Judd Apatow comedy The Bubble and the upcoming A24 slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies. But her most high-profile gig has just been revealed by director James Gunn. Tweeting in response to a Deadline article, Gunn confirmed that Bakalova will be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the final entry in the cosmic MCU trilogy. “I…

How Dashcam Flips the Final Girl Trope: “We Wanted to Make a Movie About an Asshole”

New DVD release
One of the biggest hits during the pandemic, and certainly the most iconically “Covid” movie, was Rob Savage’s smart horror Host, a 57 minute chiller based entirely over a Zoom call. It was scary, it was incredibly current and it put Savage and his cast and crew firmly on the horror map. Now with his follow up, Dashcam, Savage and his team are experimenting with the genre once again. Another found footage movie, Dashcam follows right-wing internet personality Annie Hardy (played by US musician Annie Hardy) as she live streams her increasingly bizarre evening for her fans (the whole thing…

What Top Gun: Maverick’s Historic Success Can Teach Hollywood

New DVD release
Top Gun: Maverick continues to be the rarest kind of ace in the box office skies after its second weekend. It’s of course hardly surprising the Tom Cruise-led legacy sequel maintained its perch as the number one movie in North America, as well as globally, following its historic Memorial Day weekend debut of $160 million in four days. And yet, it’s genuinely shocking just how small its drop-off from weekend to weekend actually was. According to Paramount Pictures, Top Gun: Maverick grossed $90 million in its second weekend in the U.S. That number, which is also higher than any debut…

Deadpool 3 Writers ‘Thrilled’ to Mine MCU for New Jokes

New DVD release
When it was announced back in March that Free Guy and The Adam Project director Shawn Levy would reteam with Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool 3—a “gee, what a surprise” moment if there ever was one—there was another, less splashy but still significant piece of news attached. As revealed by THR, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were jumping on board the Merc with a Mouth’s threequel as well. Reese and Wernick co-wrote the first two Deadpool movies (and were attached to the first film throughout most of its decade-long development), as well as pictures like Zombieland and its sequel. They’ve…

Sam Neill: Jurassic Park III Is ‘Better Than People Say’

New DVD release
Following the massive success of Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking Jurassic Park in 1993, sequels were inevitable. Michael Crichton, author of the original novel, even wrote one himself, The Lost World, which served as the loose basis for Spielberg’s own cinematic sequel, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park. When that made a ton of money as well, plans were put in motion for Jurassic Park III. It would be four years before that film arrived in theaters, however, and a number of things changed during that time. While Jeff Goldblum returned from the original Jurassic Park to star in The Lost World,…

What The Amazing Spider-Man Romance Can Teach the MCU

New DVD release
The MCU Spider-Man movies get a lot of things right. Romance is not one of them. Take for example the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Tom Holland’s Peter Parker says goodbye to MJ (Zendaya) before magic erases her memory of him. MJ stares into Peter’s battered face and says, “I love you.” Before Peter can respond in kind, MJ interrupts him. “Just wait,” she says behind tears. “Wait and tell me when you see me again.”  The strings in Michael Giacchino’s score begin to rise, and the two come together in a passionate kiss, their faces eclipsing…

Crimes of the Future Review: David Cronenberg Body Horror Finds Fresh Meat

New DVD release
It’s been nine years since director David Cronenberg made a new film (his last being the dark Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars), but it’s been even longer—going back to 1996’s Crash and 1999’s eXistenZ—since he has explored the themes that first put him on the map as a filmmaker: the transformation and/or evolution of the human body, often via violent technological or biological means. When his new film, Crimes of the Future, was announced, it already signaled to diehard Cronenberg fans that a possible return to those ideas was afoot: after all, this was also the title of his…

Mission: Impossible Movies Ranked from Worst to Best

New DVD release
Once upon a time, the title Mission: Impossible conjured up memories of something quaint and procedural: a weekly television series in which Peter Graves and a rotating cast of characters would get into espionage hijinks by way of the standards and practices of 1960s American television. It certainly had its dedicated fans, but a global phenomenon associated with pulse-pounding stunts, it ain’t. Which makes the modern transformation of the Tom Cruise-led Mission: Impossible movies into something of an action movie miracle. Originally intended to be a potential one-off star vehicle for Cruise, this spy franchise has endured for more than…

The Departed Almost Had a Ray Liotta and Martin Scorsese Reunion

New DVD release
Ray Liotta mixed affable identifiability with mobster menace for his role as Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. It is one of the reasons the film became the gangster classic it is today. The director got what he wanted from an actor who knew how to give. It was the only time they worked together. But they almost pulled off at least one other job, and it may even have nabbed an extra Oscar. The actor who played it in The Departed certainly got a nomination. An Americanized remake of the 2002 Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs, The Departed was…

Fanny: The Right to Rock Spotlights a Boundary Breaking Band

New DVD release
From the moment their first shows were advertised, Fanny was promoted as an all-girl band, but the label wears thin in director Bobbie Jo Hart’s Fanny: The Right to Rock. Each member says it themselves in the feature documentary, and tried telling record companies there were far more interesting things to say about them beyond the mystery of their gender. They broke through, but only barely, because sexism in rock and roll was so deeply ingrained psychologically, not even the promotion departments could think of anything else to say. This is probably why Alice de Buhr remarks, at one point…

Jennifer Connelly Reacts to The Rocketeer Legacy Sequel

New DVD release
Jennifer Connelly is flying high these days on the big screen, both literally and figuratively. Starring opposite Tom Cruise in one of his signature roles, Connelly is the second lead in Top Gun: Maverick, a film which just shattered the Memorial Day box office record with a $160 million haul. The film also features an astonishing flying sequence in which Cruise takes Connelly up in what appears to be a World War II-era single-engine plane. When we sat down with the Oscar winner last month, she told us that really was her up there in the clouds with Cruise at…

How The Amazing Spider-Man Finally Settled the Organic Web-Shooters Debate

New DVD release
Organic webs or mechanical? As nonsensical as that question sounds in 2022, believe me that a little over two decades ago it was spoken about with the hushed severity of religion during the Reformation. Do you think Spider-Man should have organic web-shooters or mechanical? If you answered incorrectly in certain parts of the early wild west days of the internet, you could find yourself cast out from digital communities like a leper. In retrospect, it was perhaps a prelude to how fan communities would organize around social media. This tumultuous upheaval among Marvel fandom was fallout from the very first…

Geek Moments of the Last 15 Years That Shook Pop Culture

New DVD release
Can you believe Den of Geek has been around since 2007? That’s practically the olden days. And a lot has happened in pop culture since we launched. Superheroes certainly weren’t as pervasive as they currently are, the Oscars has made some serious shifts, major trends in gaming appeared (and sometimes disappeared), Disney has taken over the universe, Game of Thrones was a thing and we had our first female Doctor. And that’s not all… We’ve taken stock of the major geek events of the last 15 years to take stock of how far we have come. The Birth of the…

Marvel’s Kevin Feige Wants to Be More Hands-off With MCU Fantastic Four Movie

New DVD release
For better or for worse, MCU boss Kevin Feige has a reputation for being very involved in the production of Marvel films. Feige’s tendency to oversee the plots of MCU installments and their aesthetic has allowed the franchise to achieve pop culture domination and build a cohesive cinematic universe, but it has also led to some sameness across films. Although directors such as James Gunn, Taika Waititi, Ryan Coogler, and Sam Raimi have been able to inject some individual personality into the films, movies such as Spider-Man: No Way Home feel to some as if they were directed by a committee. But…

Morbius: Will ‘Morbin Time’ Sequel Happen if Folks Keep Hate-Watching?

New DVD release
Morbius is coming back to theaters. No, stop laughing. We’re being serious! The vampire-superhero spinoff, which is based on an obscure piece of Spider-Man IP, might’ve been met with derision and chuckles last April when it opened to a (just barely) respectable $39 million—and then tumbled a disastrous 74 percent in its second weekend—but Morbius has now become such a darling of fan culture on home media that it’s getting a second life in theaters. “THE MORBIUS returns to over 1,000+ theaters this weekend!” trumpeted the industry’s centralized box office analysts, Exhibitor Relations Co., in a tweet that stylized Morbius’…

The Boys’ Karl Urban Addresses Possibility of Playing Wolverine in the MCU

New DVD release
It’s hard to underestimate the importance of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Known only as a theatre performer in the late 1990s, Jackman was chosen to replace Dougray Scott in X-Men after the latter was injured while shooting Mission: Impossible II. Jackman’s vulnerable and furious performance as the Canadian mutant spanned seven movies (not counting cameos) and 17 years, turning him into one of the first breakout stars of the superhero movie genre. Now that Disney’s purchase of Fox Studios has brought the X-Men back under Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige and other producers are taking their time casting the role of the…

The Russo Brothers: How Community ‘Prepared Us’ for Marvel

New DVD release
Joe Russo can still recall long days on the set of Community—and how rarely they ever actually ended. In retrospect, the entire experience might be described as a blur, a mad marathon in which every episode offered its own sprint toward a shifting finish line. But it’s also an experience the director clearly cherishes, now more than a decade on since his time in the trenches of that cult sitcom. And while he and his brother Anthony Russo have certainly gone on to bigger things, including the biggest global hit of all-time with Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame, there remains a…

District 9 Sequel Hopes Kept Alive with Surprising New Update

New DVD release
In July 2009, South African director Neill Blomkamp went from relative unknown to sci-fi’s rising star. That was the month District 9 hit theaters, raising moviegoers’ hopes for more genre movies that tackled big questions. But although Blomkamp has worked steadily since those days, he has never returned to the world that made him famous. However, Blomkamp has not given up hope. While chatting with the site Dexerto about his new battle royale game Off the Grid, Blomkamp gave an update on his planned District 9 sequel: “I am still working on it.” This certainly isn’t the first time that the director has shared hopes…
