Sony has made it no secret their plans to develop their own cinematic universe. The studio set a solid foundation with Spider-Man Homecoming and Far From Home, while Venom was a sizable box office hit despite earning poor reviews. This year will be a major one for the developing brand, as Morbius and Venom 2’s performance will likely decide whether rumored projects will come to fruition, including a new untitled spin-off that’s set to be written by Roberto Orci. In an exclusive report by The Wrap, Sony has tapped Roberto Orci (who has worked with Sony in the past on The Amazing Spider-Man 2) to craft…

Streaming services used to be an afterthought, an outlet for studios to dump their long-delayed projects, often to the audience’s displeasure (Cloverfield Paradox and Mowgli are good examples). With their massive growth, former summer staples are now dropping directly to streaming platforms like Netflix, including Mark Wahlberg’s latest starring vehicle Spenser Confidential. Re-teaming the star actor with director Peter Berg (the duo earnestly crafted true-story takes on Patriots Day and Lone Survivor), the final product is an oddly discombobulated beast that never finds an entertaining rhythm. Based on the 1980’s TV series Spenser for Hire, Spenser Confidential follows the titular protagonist (Mark Wahlberg), fresh out of prison…

Universal took an interesting risk with their developing Monsterverse, pivoting from grandiose blockbusters like Dracula: Untold and The Mummy to low-budget horror films like The Invisible Man. Considering Man’s exceptional reviews (91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and prosperous box office take (102 million so far on a 7 million dollar budget), Universal is doubling-down on the latter direction. Alongside the announcement of an upcoming James Wan-produced project, Universal has revealed a new take of Dracula will be coming to the big screen. According to an exclusive from The Hollywood Reporter, writer/director Karyn Kusama will craft a fresh take on the haunting vampire, with Blumhouse returning as producers.…

Black Widow is set to open the summer movie season and MCU’s latest Phase 4 this May, with many Marvel fans curious to see how this prequel will fit into Marvel’s future. The outcry for a Black Widow film has been ongoing since Scarlett Johansson appeared in 2010’s Iron Man 2, with many wondering why it took so long for Marvel to give Natasha Romanov her own standalone adventure. Well, Kevin Feige and Scarlett Johansson finally have the answers. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feige and Johansson spoke about Black Widow’s lengthy journey to finding the big-screen. Feige spoke about fitting the prequel in the right…

As well as having a fatal effect on the world populous, the Cronoavirus has impacted the film industry greatly during its development. Many studios have been cautious about the virus’ impact on box office profits, with China, one of the world’s largest film markets, essentially having their theaters shut down at this point. No Time to Die, the upcoming James Bond film, made waves last week announcing a half-year delay for the project a month before its release, showing studio’s willingness to move away from the virus. It looks like Peter Rabbit 2 is now following in that project’s footsteps. Exclusively revealed by The…

Disney+ has already made a massive dent in the streaming field with its content, as The Mandalorian proved to be one of the biggest shows of last year. This year will be an even bigger one for Disney, as they will try to do what they achieved with the Star Wars brand with the MCU. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will get the MCU-television universe underway, with the series following Falcon’s journey towards becoming the new Captain America. With reshoots currently underway for the project ahead of its August release, new set footage from Charles Murphy’s YouTube Channel captures a scene in which…

Many fans feel that Vin Diesel’s acting career is synonymous with the wildly successful Fast and the Furious franchise, but the star actor has been able to pave several different career avenues. Pitch Black helped spawn the Riddick franchise, which saw the actor shine in an intriguing series of sci-fi genre films that looks to continue with a fourth entry. The success of xXx also spawned its own franchise of extreme-sports blockbusters, making Diesel a sturdy name in the action genre. Even with his ability to create his own franchises, no one could have expected that The Last Witch Hunter 2 would ever happen. According to Diesel,…

Few athletes have left a lasting legacy in their sport like Tom Brady, who has won six Super Bowl championships in a Hall of Fame career. When you achieve that level of success, new doors of opportunity open for athletes to have an impact in multiple fields. LeBron James has been acting for a few years and started a production company of his own, with his big upcoming feature Space Jam 2 set for next year. It looks like Brady may finally be involving himself in the film industry. In a report by Deadline, Tom Brady is set to launch his own…

Few actors have become synonymous with one character, a rare accomplishment that Hugh Jackman had in is 17-year tenure as Wolverine. Capturing the character’s rage and quiet pain effectively, Jackman’s performance was the one constantly great part of every X-Men project, often carrying middling films on his shoulders. With this being the case, its wild to think of a world in which Dougray Scott would have accepted the role over Jackman. In an interview with the Telegraph, Scott relayed the true story behind his decision to decline the role, saying that Tom Cruise prevented him from taking the role: “That…

Similar to other 2000’s comedic stars like Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell, Owen Wilson has been notably absent from the big screen as of late. Wilson is wildly beloved for his chill cool guy delivery, shinning in several blockbuster hits like Wedding Crashers while being a frequent collaborator of indie auteur Wes Anderson. Aside from appearing in small roles in recent Anderson projects, Wilson has kept things relatively low-key, until the shocking announcement that he would be co-starring in Marvel’s upcoming Loki series came to be. Going from mostly comedic appearances to an epic blockbuster project like this was viewed as a notable surprise,…
