New Mutants Director Josh Boone Debunks Reshoot Rumors

The New Mutants is, at long last, set to make its debut in April – two whole years after its intended release. Indeed, the film was designed as a tonally off-beat expansion of Fox’s long-held X-Men movie rights, but Disney’s 2019 acquisition of the studio temporarily rendered it an abandoned oddity. However, director Josh Boone thinks the film still has something to offer, and, in a new interview with EW, dispels the long-held notion that it was subject to extensive reshoots. Boone, also known as the director of 2014’s The Fault in Our Stars, finally dished about the delays that…

You can see a complete list of new Netflix releases here.

Why Guy Pearce Came Back to Superhero Movies with Bloodshot

Australian actor Guy Pearce is known for an eclectic and varied career in which he has rarely played the same kind of role twice. From his days on the iconic Australian series Neighbours (which made him a star there) to his breakout role as a steadfast detective in L.A. Confidential to more recent turns as a monstrous man of the cloth in Brimstone and a mysterious scientist in the Netflix series The Innocents, Pearce has acted his way through a diverse roster of characters over the past 30 years. Having said that, Pearce does return, sort of, to the world…

Black Widow Movie: Trailer, Release Date, Cast, and News

This Black Widow article contains MAJOR spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. Seriously. Don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled. Those who saw Avengers: Endgame may have been a bit surprised to hear that there was a Black Widow solo movie in the works. After all, Natasha sacrifices herself for the Soul Stone leading into the movie’s climactic third act. However, the fact remains: After years of mumbling and shuffling their feet every time the prospect of a Black Widow movie was raised, Marvel Studios finally saw the light. More likely, they saw the stellar box office numbers and critical acclaim that were heaped on…

Saint Maud Review: Elevated Horror That’s a Revelation

If God exists then so must The Devil in Rose Glass’ stunning debut Saint Maud which sees a pious young nurse who experiences beatific visions become obsessed with saving the soul of her dying patient Amanda (Jennifer Ehle). Saint Maud is a strange, gorgeous, and deeply disturbing chiller which mixes psychological, religious, and body horror to form something that feels utterly original. Very definitely a genre movie, this is “elevated” horror that messes with your perceptions of what’s real and what isn’t and comes with an ending that’s so simultaneously euphoric and horrific it feels like a punch in the heart.…

Calm With Horses Review: A Bruising Crime Drama

“I don’t think violence is the work of hateful men, sometimes it’s just the way a fellow makes sense of his world,” says Cosmo Jarvis’ former boxing-champ-turned-enforcer for the drug dealing Dever family. He’s a man whose life has been defined by violence in one form or another and he’s at something of a crossroads, torn between his love for his five-year-old son and the obligation he feels to the Devers. Calm With Horses is a confident, brutal, and poignant feature debut from Brit director Nick Rowland. It’s technically impressive, boasting extraordinary performances, although as a crime thriller it’s less…

Black Widow Release Date Reportedly Won’t Be Pushed Back

Coronavirus fears will not stop Natasha Romanoff from making her solo Marvel feature debut this May, according to a new report. Deadline confirms that Disney currently has no plans to push back the release of Black Widow following news earlier this week that Daniel Craig’s highly anticipated James Bond swansong, No Time To Die, would be moving to November from its planned April slot. Due to movie theaters closing in international markets where films like Black Widow stand to make a huge chunk of change during their global rollout, some had wondered whether Disney would follow suit in making its…

Spenser Confidential Review

There’s nothing confidential about the fact that for every movie as quality as The Irishman that Netflix releases, they drop about five as mediocre as Spenser Confidential. Based on the series of novels by Robert B. Parker, later adapted as a television show starring Robert Urich, Spenser Confidential is the kind of movie that you’d be livid spending money to see at the cinema, but you’ll shrug off and forget about five minutes after streaming it. Even Mark Wahlberg, who stars as the titular Spenser, seems bored with the film. Set in Boston (because where else would a Mark Wahlberg…

Beauty and the Beast Disney+ Prequel Series Set with Luke Evans and Josh Gad

Disney+ has already proven itself as an industry-altering streaming distribution pipeline for the monolithic Mouse House’s myriad properties, and it appears that 2017’s live-action $1.2 billion worldwide-grossing hit, Beauty and the Beast, is set to be the next example of this notion, proving that shows can be mined from the most unlikely of places. Luke Evans and Josh Gad are locked in to reprise their roles – as Gaston and LeFou, respectively – in an untitled live-action limited-run prequel television series that’s set for a Disney+ streaming run, as THR reports. The series, set at ABC Signature Studios, will manifest…

Greyhound: Trailer Arrives for Tom Hanks World War II Movie

Greyhound will see Tom Hanks return to the backdrop of World War II; an arena in which he has excelled, both onscreen in 1998’s Saving Private Ryan and offscreen as executive producer of HBO miniseries offerings Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Here, Hanks serves as star, writer, and producer for the Sony film, tackling a different aspect of the war, the seas, with a story centered on an international convoy of Allied ships, racing across North Atlantic seas filled with Nazi U-boats. Greyhound is an adaptation of the novel, The Good Shepherd, by C.S. Forester. It’s a World War…

Antebellum: New Trailer Arrives

You’ve seen this tale before: a man or woman is accidentally transported through time and has a grand adventure in the past that solves all their problems. It’s a yarn at least as old as Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and persists still on Outlander with every new season. Yet these protagonists tend to share a common trait: they can fit into the past. But what if they couldn’t? Or worse still, what if they could, but only in a specific, horrifying role? Antebellum seems to be going there as past and future merge—and that past…

Is There a Hidden Meaning in The Invisible Man Ending?

This article contains major The Invisible Man spoilers. The Invisible Man is an excellent horror film packed with shocks and scares and with a fun ending which contains several twists. But it’s possible director Leigh Whannell might have intended to pull the rug out from under the viewer one last time, offering the opportunity for a very different alternative reading of what actually happens to Cecilia. In the ending we see onscreen, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss) escapes the institution she’s locked in, is cleared of killing her sister and is able to exact a fitting revenge on her abusive husband Adrian…

How the Stars of Onward Became Brothers Onscreen

In Pixar’s Onward, stars Chris Pratt and Tom Holland ditch their Star-Lord and Spider-Man costumes (the two were last seen together battling Thanos in the Avengers movies) for a recording booth. The two actors voice Ian (Holland) and Barley (Pratt) Lightfoot, two elven brothers who embark on a quest to find a magical artifact that will bring their late father back to them for one day—an artifact that only Ian can wield in a world where magic has faded. Just like Onward director and co-writer Dan Scanlon drew on personal experience for the basis of the story (his own dad…

First Cow Review

There are few better metaphors for American capitalism than the faintly satirical (and deeply bittersweet) conflict at the heart of Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow. Ostensibly a story about friendship between Cookie (John Magaro) and King Lu (Orion Lee) in early 19th century Oregon territory, the title of the film actually refers to a prized bovine living near their rudimentary fort. Not that the cow belongs to the cook or the Chinese immigrant. Rather it’s the property of a gilded moneyman (Toby Jones). With affected airs of decidedly non-American origin, Jones oozes entitlement as he devours a cake made by Cookie…

Hocus Pocus 2 Finds Director

Double double toil and trouble. We already knew Disney was developing a sequel to the much-beloved classic Hocus Pocus, but now a director has been attached to the project, which is the next step in bringing the story to the big screen. The original 1993 film was directed by Kenny Ortega (he of High School Musical fame) from a script by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris. The sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter, has Adam Shankman attached to direct. Shankman has previously directed films like Hairspray and A Walk to Remember. He is also attached to produce Disney’s Enchanted sequel,…

New Batmobile Revealed for The Batman Movie

As Jim Gordon famously declared in Batman Begins upon seeing a certain customized car abruptly emerge, “I’ve gotta get me one of those.” The brand-new Batmobile has been revealed in all its horse-powered glory! In the latest tease from The Batman director Matt Reeves, a prominent first glimpse has arrived showcasing his upcoming movie’s take on what is, perhaps, the most iconic car in pop culture history. What’s immediately clear is that this is a conceptual reinvention of the vehicle, seemingly rooted in the theme of the film’s setting during the early era of the Caped Crusader, who will be…
