Deadwood fans, your long wait is almost over. Writer David Milch’s acclaimed HBO Western that was canceled on a cliffhanger more than a decade ago will at last return with a movie in 2019 (and sooner than you think — we’re told a premiere is planned for spring). The entire core cast are back, led by Ian McShane as the ruthless bar owner Al Swearengen and Timothy Olyphant as hard-nosed lawman Seth Bullock. The […]
Most of us will get to see Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald when it officially hits theaters on November 16. However, a lucky few fans were able to see the movie early thanks to an advance screening at Universal Studios Hollywood and their first reactions to the second flick in the Fantastic Beasts franchise are overwhelmingly positive. In fact, one person even gave Crimes Of Grindelwald a huge vote of confidence in her […]
Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen star in Peter Farrelly's film about an Italian-American bouncer chauffeuring an African-American pianist across the South in the 1960s. Green Book is almost a contradiction in terms, a feel-good buddy comedy-drama featuring an elegant black musician and his white driver on tour in the pre-integration South of 1962. Arriving in the wake of any number of edgy cinematic takes on racial issues, this Universal release […]
Superman is flying back into action this fall as Richard Donner's iconic film, starring Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel, is heading back into theaters for a special event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its release. As of this week, Fandango is listing an event titled Superman 40th Anniversary on its website, courtesy of Fathom Events. The screenings of the film are set to take place in select theaters on Sunday, November 25. Unfortunately, the […]
It is the stuff of movie industry legend: the director of the best film ever made leaves behind an unfinished movie destined never to be seen – until now. Orson Welles shot “The Other Side of the Wind” in the early 1970s but gave up on it, leaving behind 100 hours of footage when he died in 1985. Five decades on from its conception, after years of financial and legal […]
A few days ago, The Daily Beast broke a crazy-but-true story about how an ex-cop rigged the McDonald’s Monopoly game and stole millions of dollars. That same day, there was rampant speculation that this was ripe for a Hollywood adaptation, and sure enough a bidding war for the rights to the story ensued. Today, we learn who came out on top: Deadline reports that 20th Century Fox has won the bidding war […]
Tom Cruise is in on the joke. The actor’s Twitter bio notes that he’s been “running in movies since 1981,” and indeed it’s what he’s best known for doing onscreen. To mark the release of “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” the folks at Rotten Tomatoes have put together a study suggesting that, the more Cruise runs in his movies, the better they are. They did so using what sounds like painstaking methodology, counting “every instance of […]
Marvel Studios fans will get to see one superhero film in 2021 more than five months early, but the question is which one. Disney has moved an untitled Marvel movie from July 30, 2021, to Feb. 12, 2021. An untitled live-action Disney release will slip into that summer date instead. Once a relatively dead month for movies, except for the stray romance, February became prime territory for big-budget superhero features […]
Tom Holland is terrible at keeping secrets – you know it, I know it, and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige very much knows it, too. But while everyone’s favorite Web-Head has been guilty of posting spoiler-sensitive information in the past, it turns out Holland was given the green light to ‘leak’ Spider-Man: Far From Home‘s official title before the cameras started rolling in the United Kingdom. As Kevin Feige tells Birth.Movies.Death (h/t ComicBook.com), […]
