New Star Wars Movie Coming From Taika Waititi

New DVD release, , ,
While it may be a while before we get a new Star Wars movie, that doesn’t mean that Disney and Lucasfilm are slowing down. Disney has just confirmed the rumors that have been circulating for the last few months: Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor: Ragnarok) will direct a new Star Wars movie. Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, the upcoming Last Night in Soho) will co-write the screenplay with Waititi. This isn’t Waititi’s first time around in the Star Wars universe either. He voiced the bounty hunter droid IG-11 on several episodes of the first season of The Mandalorian, and directed the season…

Another G.I. Joe Movie Sequel in Development

New DVD release, , ,
Paramount continues to have high hopes for the G.I. Joe franchise. Despite the lukewarm response to the first two live action G.I. Joe elements, 2009’s disappointing G.I. Joe and 2013’s surprisingly fun G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the studio is pressing ahead with not just one reboot, but an entire series. The shape of it isn’t really clear just yet, but it’s likely to end up being something of a G.I. Joe (and maybe Hasbro?) shared universe of some kind. First up is Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. That film, directed by Robert Schwentke, stars Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) as everyone’s…

How Can a One Punch Man Movie Work?

New DVD release, , , , ,

The Hunger Games franchise is once again set to volunteer as tribute for the big screen, set to take audiences back to the deadly bread and circuses of dystopic Panem with an adaptation of author Suzanne Collins’s upcoming prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Lionsgate is officially moving forward with The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as a feature film. The announcement arrives as readers still await the book’s scheduled May 19 release.

Netflix Lands Enola Holmes Movie Starring Millie Bobby Brown

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Netflix is keeping Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown in its streaming stable for a new kind of starring vehicle in Enola Holmes. An adaptation of the Edgar Award-nominated young adult novel series of author Nancy Springer, the film will see the teen actress trading all things psychokinetic and Eggos for sleuthing in Victorian England, bearing a surname that obviously carries significant weight in the detective trade. The streaming giant has acquired the global rights (sans China,) to Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries novels from Legendary Entertainment. The film, which adapts the first book, The Case of the Missing Marquess…

The Batman Movie Release Date Delayed

New DVD release, , ,
Well, at this point, we shouldn’t be surprised, right? Warner Bros. has delayed the release of The Batman, the first solo Batman movie in nearly a decade, by four months. Why? Why do you think? It’s because production on The Batman was shut down in March because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Batman had been filming since January in the UK, and the production had just reached a point where major outdoor sequences involving Robert Pattinson’s Batman, an incredibly cool looking Batmobile, and even a Batcycle had been underway. The Batman had been scheduled to open on June 25,…

The Sopranos Prequel Movie Delayed Due to Coronavirus Concerns

New DVD release, , , , ,
It appears that the fall release date of The Many Saints of Newark, HBO’s long-anticipated prequel TV movie to its transformative peak television smash, The Sopranos, was born under a bad sign, taking shape during an era in which the film and television industry—and everything else in the civilized world—has been derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the movie has just met the nowadays-inevitable fate of having its release date shifted back. The Many Saints of Newark is now scheduled to premiere on HBO on Friday, March 12, 2021. The move represents a nearly six-month shift from its previously scheduled…

The Flash Movie Release Date Changes Again

New DVD release, , , ,
We’ll believe the DCEU The Flash movie is happening when we’re seated in the theater, munching popcorn, and Ezra Miller speeds across the screen. To say that The Flash has had a troubled journey to the big screen might be a little generous. However, with the director of It Chapter One and Two at the helm in Andy Muschietti, and Birds of Prey screenwriter Christina Hodson on board, things are looking a little brighter for the big screen Scarlet Speedster have in a while. Warner Bros. insists that this movie will happen someday, and they’re so confident in that fact…

The ’80s Martial Arts Movie Influences of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge is a bone-crunchingly brutal take on the beloved game franchise and the heart-wrenching backstory of the titular warrior, Hanzo Hasashi. The newest Warner Bros. animated offering is also stacked with homages to classic martial arts movies and ’80s action flicks that the creators, writer Jeremy Adams and executive producer Rick Morales, tell me was vital to their vision of Mortal Kombat, which Morales reveals made the R-rated animation “the movie that I’ve always wanted to make.” Watching Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge as an action fan, it’s easy to see where the team pulled from,…

Artemis Fowl is the latest Hollywood film to have its planned rollout changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney announced today that the adaptation based on the bestselling Eoin Colfer kids fantasy series would be happening not in cinemas, as planned, but on Disney+. The film was set to be released in theaters on May 29th. As of this writing, there was no date for the Disney+ release, but I would imagine it will be sooner rather than later.

Marvel’s Shang-Chi Movie Gets New Release Date

New DVD release, , ,
The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the film industry in ways big and small, and not even the biggest, most successful franchise behemoth of the last decade is immune. Disney announced new release dates for every single one of Marvel Studios’ MCU Phase 4 projects, a necessary and expected step after Black Widow was pulled from its planned May 1 release date. We all had a feeling a “chain reaction” would follow, as the carefully planned Marvel Cinematic Universe would need to move its other release dates ahead to make sure that the intricacies of Kevin Feige’s blockbuster world would…

Stephen King Movie and TV Streaming Guide: Where to Watch Online

New DVD release, , , , , ,
By our estimate, there are some 87 different theatrical movies, TV or streaming movies, TV series and limited series based on the works of Stephen King. Knock off the nine Children of the Corn sequels and the two additional Mangler movies (which, c’mon, none of those are making anyone’s “best of King” list), and you’ve still got a significant bounty of King-inspired content to plow through, even if not all of them are exactly top-tier fare. We’ve curated that list down to a manageable three dozen or so, both big and small screen, that are 1) all available for streaming…
