This Behind-the-Scenes Featurette Explores the Raw, Jovial Energy of Birds of Prey

The Harley Quinn-led Birds of Prey looks like so much fun. From the colors to the characters, to the sheer bursting energy that each released bit of footage has had, the whole package seems like a much more interesting space to occupy than most other glimpses of the DC Universe we’ve gotten on film. In…

Kylo Ren Returns to Saturday Night Live for Another Round of Undercover Boss

And he only kills, like, a couple of people. Truly, he’s growing. Last night, Adam Driver returned to host Saturday Night Live for the third time, and since SNL has never had a good idea that it wouldn’t repeat, that means Kylo Ren is back, too. During Driver’s first appearance, we saw Ren go undercover…

Margot Robbie Talks Her Struggle to Get Birds of Prey Made

Birds of Prey has been, for Margot Robbie, a long time coming. Talking to Nerdist at a recent press event, Robbie explained how her crusade to make the film, which began after her work on Suicide Squad completed, was a difficult one, lasting for five years and facing down a lot of resistance. It began…

Sony Bumps the Dates for Uncharted and Masters of the Universe

The saga never ends. With Uncharted recently losing a director and hunting for a new one, it’s being pushed back in the release schedule. Which isn’t surprising. But it’s not the only movie that got bumped. As Deadline reports, Sony has rescheduled the troubled adventure film from its December 18, 2020 release date to March…

Soon, We’re All Going to Know What a Live-Action Jiminy Cricket Looks Like

I, for one, am not ready. Yesterday, Deadline reported that Robert Zemeckis is officially and 100% on board to direct and co-write Disney’s live-action remake of Pinocchio, a story about a puppet who becomes a real boy, a vision so uncanny that of course Disney wants to make it with real actors. The film will…

Sony Has Decided We Need a New Anaconda Movie

For a while there, in the late ‘90s, it felt like we were all really afraid of snakes. The vanguard of that fear was Anaconda, one of the most-mocked and most-beloved garbage monster movies of the era. Starring Ice Cube, Jennifer Lopez, and Jon Voight, it was a delightful romp through the Amazon. Or, well,…

Don’t Worry, Ghostbusters: Afterlife Will Have Plenty of Comedy

When the first trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife was released, there was no doubt that it would contain high levels of nostalgia. From the dialogue to the music and set dressing, it was plainly obvious this direct sequel to Ghostbusters 2 was going to satisfy fans who love all things Ghostbusters. The bigger question was, would it…

Disney Is Going to Kill Bambi’s Mom Again

It’s a new year but things are still the same when it comes to Disney’s catalog of classic films. After a year that saw remakes of Aladdin and The Lion King become billion dollars hits, it makes sense for the trend to continue. And next on the list is Bambi. The Hollywood Reporter says Geneva…

Black Canary’s Birds of Prey Powers Were Influenced by the Injustice Games

Compared to the kinds of baddies she’s fought on the big screen in the past, Harley Quinn’s poised to go toe to toe with some much more street-level villains in Birds of Prey who mainly fight with regular weapons. But the Birds of Prey will have a distinct metahuman advantage on their side during their…

A New Toy Story Short Will Explore Bo Peep’s Wild Life Between the Movies

Yes, it’s time for Bo Peep: A Toy Story Story. Sadly that’s not the actual name of Pixar’s newest short. It’s Lamp Life, a cutesy new bit of narrative set after the events of Toy Story 4—which saw Woody give up his life with Bonnie and his fellow toys to forge his own identity alongside…

14 Women Directing Genre Movies We’re Excited to Watch

The Oscars (and most Hollywood awards, for that matter) might be notorious for ignoring women directors but fortunately, genre cinema doesn’t feel the same way. In fact, some of our most anticipated superhero, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror films are directed by women. Imagine that! Not all of these are being released this year, but here…

The Captain Marvel Sequel’s Connection to WandaVision Could Be Growing Stronger

It was a given that Carol Danvers would return to the big screen in a sequel to last year’s Captain Marvel. But according to a new report, Marvel’s found a writer to pen the movie’s script who’s already been hard at work crafting another important part of the MCU. The Hollywood Reporter says that Marvel…

What the Bloodshot Movie Needs in Order to Stand Out and Succeed

It isn’t hard to understand the calculus behind multiple studios’ years-long attempts at turning characters from Valiant’s comics universe into the next big-screen draw. Comic book movies can and often do make outrageous amounts of money because people like watching them. But with each new super solo movie and big crossover event, the core ask—“Hey, come…

The Most Important Thing The Rise of Skywalker Reinforces From The Last Jedi

On the surface, it’s easy to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as a rejection of the more subversive elements of The Last Jedi—it re-litigates the origins of our heroes, dredging up a past its predecessor was more than happy to move on from. It could, if you wanted to get a little bit…

You Won’t Find Harry Potter on HBO Max, Thanks to Streaming’s Weird New Normal

You might assume that Warner Bros.’ big new streaming service would have one of the studio’s biggest movie franchises available when it launches, but it won’t. And the reason is…well, actually kind of depressing for anyone who isn’t Warner Bros., really. The news was confirmed recently during the Television Critics Association winter press tour (as…
