It’s long been joked about the only good Fantastic Four movie we’ll ever get is Brad Bird’s wonderful The Incredibles.  After this year’s stunning disappointment from Fox and Josh Trank, we were beginning to lose all hope about our favorite superhero nuclear family. Thankfully, Disney had an ace up their sleeve, and today announced a release […]

Dear Disney- We understand you’re very proud of the massive body of work the studio has produced over the many wonderful decades of cinema under your mouse eared belts, BUT FOR GOODNESS SAKE, please leave the classics alone. There are few truly iconic classics that have escaped the recent remake/reboot frenzy, and I thought the […]

I honestly don’t know how to feel about this piece of remake news yet, I mean heck, I’m still trying to come to terms with the new Jungle Book. Rob Marshall (Chicago, Into The Woods) is set to direct a brand new ‘original’ take on the much beloved Disney classic, Mary Poppins.  The Hollywood Reporter says Marc Shaiman […]

Do you still remember all the words to “Bare Necessities” and “Be Like You”?  If so, chances are you are a fan of the 1967 Disney classic animated take on Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.  It seems to be the golden age of remakes, and this (now) liveaction story of the manchild raised by wolves is the […]

Han Solo origin story confirmed for Christopher Miller and Phil Lord’s film. Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) will be directing Episode IX! 2019! It looks like Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) and Donnie Yen (IP Man, Hero) are both joining Star Wars spinoff Rogue One.  This is the first image released by Disney today at D23 showing the cast: Disney has […]

Did you realize it’s been over 20 years since the opening strains of “The Circle of Life” came roaring into movie theaters?  Yeah, Disney’s The Lion King is 21 now, and remains one of the most popular tellings of “Hamlet” of the modern age. This weekend in LA, the D23 convention happens, which is where […]

“They’re a little good, a little bad and a little bit of both.” The official tag line for the new animated Guardians of The Galaxy series holds true to Star Lord’s final line from the film.  So far, we know the series stars Will Friedle as Star-Lord, Vanessa Marshall as Gamora, David Sobolov as Drax, Trevor Devall […]

Disney seems hell bent on bringing to life some of their most beloved animated titles.  We can say this started with Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent, and continued with Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella.  Other titles we KNOW are coming happen to be Beauty And The Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Jungle Book (two versions, actually), Pinocchio, and now, Sword In The Stone. Probably one of my most […]

I honestly can’t wait to see the various Creationist complaints about Disney’s next adventure film, based on the Naturalist and author of “Origin of The Species”, Charles Darwin. No, we’re not making that up. Disney said the Darwin project is in early stages, director Stephen Gaghan (Traffic, Syriana) is attached, and will reportedly be filming from […]

It looks like we’ll be getting another chapter in the early history of one of Disney’s most popular misunderstood baddies, Maleficent. The Angelina Jolie fronted film garnered an impressive box office return, and as we know, Disney loves their sequels.  The studio is currently working on getting screenwriter Linda Woolverton to return to pen the […]
