Warner Bros. prehistoric shark film The Meg is going to try to take a bite out of the summer box office this weekend, and the biggest critique we’re hearing is the lack of blood in the water. If you were unaware, The Meg is based on a series of books by Steve Alten, and the journey of […]

This reviewer has been waiting [impatiently] for the film adaptation of Steve Alten‘s novel “The Meg” for many, many years. Remember that Disney had actually optioned the title as far back as the 90’s, and it’s been sitting at the bottom of the development-hell ocean for decades. Imagine my absolute delight when word came down […]

Another day, another entry into the ongoing saga of filmmaker James Gunn post-Disney firing. Apparently Warner Bros. wants him next, according to pretty much every big entertainment website today. All the usual suspects (The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Variety, etc.) have run variations on the same story: at present, Gunn is in final negotiations with Disney […]

Wands at the ready, Harry Potter fans- Cinemark Theaters are bringing all 9 (both Potter and Fantastic Beasts) Warner Bros. wizarding world films back this summer! In an effort to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first publishing of “Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone” by JK Rowling, the movie theater chain will be showing all 8 Potter […]

With the DCEU (or Worlds of DC, as they’re calling it now) at Warner Bros. cooling their heels post-Justice League but at the same time making waves with Aquaman and Wonder Woman 1984, it stands to reason that looking for additional high-profile options for the next DC Comics-based film is happening.

We’ve finally gotten an update of sorts on that much talked about Batman film from Matt Reeves, and while it’s not much, it’s at least something. Today during the FOX presentation during the TCA (Television Critics Association) summer press tour, the War For The Planet of the Apes director offered some details (using that word sparingly here) about […]

While we’re still a good ways away from seeing the Wonder Woman sequel film Wonder Woman 1984, director Patty Jenkins is not above teasing fans. Just today she tweeted out an image of Game of Thrones and Narcos star Pedro Pascal peering into our very souls from a stylized television set. “Can’t… stop…watching…” Jenkins said in her tweet. Can’t…Stop… […]

Back in the day of A Bug’s Life and Antz, having two films cover roughly the same story/setting wasn’t such a strange and rare occurrence. We were reminded of this when Andy Serkis announced his plans for a live-action/CGI version of Rudyard Kipling’s classic The Jungle Book, called Mowgli, coming hot on the heels of Jon Favreau’s Jungle Book. Andy Serkis, of course, […]

While Warner Bros.’s film version of Ernie Cline’s fantastic Ready Player One wasn’t the perfect adaptation, it DID have plenty of nods and winks to the source material to make even the most hardened of purists enjoy and appreciate it. Thankfully, we can FINALLY have the Ready Player One experience at home, as the film has been released […]

San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone, trailers have been shown, and conclusions drawn from mere minutes of footage. Chief among them, at least for Potterheads following the Warner Bros. presentation in Hall H which included a new trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, was a split second moment featuring young Dumbledore seeing a […]
