Danny Boyle Is No Longer Directing ‘Bond 25’
Boyle is out and the search is on for another director to tackle James Bond’s 25th outing.
Here’s the Official Logo for ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’
The highly-anticipated sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming won’t arrive until next summer — which means it’ll be quite some time before we get so much as a peek at some of the new characters (like Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio!) in Far From Home. But how about the official logo? Will that do?
Paul Walker’s Brothers Want to Bring Him Back in Another ‘Fast and Furious’ Sequel
Following his untimely death, Paul Walker’s brothers Cody and Caleb stepped in to help finish production on Furious 7, serving as stand-ins for the late actor. Thanks to their presence, along with some VFX magic, director James Wan was able to complete Walker’s scenes — and create a touching tribute to Walker for the film’s final scene. Although the series has moved beyond Walker’s absence, his brothers are hoping to step in and revive him once again for another sequel.
Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Now Includes Bruce Lee
‘Inhumans’ star Mike Moh will play the late, great martial arts icon in Quentin Tarantino’s new film.
Hulu Renews ‘Castle Rock’ for Another Season of Stephen King Scares
It’s not exactly surprising news, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome: Hulu has officially renewed Castle Rock for a second season. The series, from executive producer J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot, will continue to expand this particular little corner of Stephen King’s universe in Season 2, with new characters and a new story set in and around the fictional, eponymous Maine town.
MoviePass’ Hilarious Reign of Terror Continues as Cancellation Is No Longer an Option
Your smug friends were right: MoviePass was too good (and possibly stupid) to last.
‘The Romanoffs’ Trailer: Literally Everyone Is in Matthew Weiner’s New Amazon Series
Matthew Weiner’s The Romanoffs is easily our most anticipated new series on Amazon, but if you were expecting another drama in the vein of Mad Men, the first trailer for Weiner’s latest TV project might throw you for a loop. With an insane ensemble (seriously, everyone is in this thing) and a story that spans seven countries and eight (!) stories, The Romanoffs looks incredibly ambitious and a bit more idiosyncratic than Weiner’s acclaimed AMC series.
Sony’s Post-‘Venom’ Spider-Man Spinoffs Include ‘Silk’ and ‘Black Cat’ Solo Films, More Diversity
Although ‘Silver & Black’ is off the table, the studio is plotting numerous standalone films set in and around the Spider-Man universe, including ‘Nightwatch’ and ‘Jackpot,’ along with previously announced films like ‘Kraven the Hunter’ and ‘Morbius.’
How the New Oscar Category Could Actually Hurt Films Like ‘Black Panther’
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences set a new benchmark in questionable choices today, when they announced the addition of a new Oscar for “Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film,” aka “Most Popular Movie But Not Necessarily Worth a Best Picture Nod.” Almost immediately following the announcement, some cinephiles and critics pointed out that the move was obviously designed to allow beloved blockbusters and superhero flicks — like this year’s Black Panther — to receive recognition from an awards show that typically overlooks them.
‘Supergirl’ Movie Reportedly in the Works as Warner Bros. Hires Screenwriter
A little bit of a good news / eyebrow-raising news situation here, as Warner Bros. and DC Films are reportedly plotting a Supergirl movie (yay!) from the writer of The Cloverfield Paradox (hmm…). It’s still early days, however, and given the number of writers typically involved in your average blockbuster, it seems likely that this iteration of the script will be one of many.
