Avatar’s Sam Worthington Missed Out On Playing James Bond For One Simple Reason By Witney Seibold/Dec. 15, 2022 2:30 pm EST Jake Sully isn’t a terribly sophisticated character, which may be kind of the point. It wouldn’t be until the release of “Avatar: The Way of Water,” where Jake is now 13 years older but still a military-minded guy, that he would reveal the consistency of his character. In “Avatar,” circumstances favored his mindset....

How the numbers stack up Warner Bros. The really good news is that Johnson is a global superstar and, regardless of what happens domestically, this movie figures to be a worldwide hit. Looking at other similar debuts in the DCEU, the numbers are kind of all over the place in terms of how the movies finish. “Shazam!” (which Black Adam was originally supposed to be in) opened to $53.5 million back in 2019 and finished with $363....

Heat 2 Set Out To Recreate Michael Mann’s Voice On The Page Warner Bros. By Valerie Ettenhofer/Aug. 12, 2022 5:53 pm EST Michael Mann’s style is easy to see on screen. It’s there in the Tangerine Dream soundtrack to “Thief,” the moody color palette of “Manhunter,” and, of course, the self-assured mastery of 1995’s “Heat.” It’s the last film that has just landed a sequel, not in the form of a film, but a novel continuation titled “Heat 2....

Here Lies Billy Butcherson Disney In “Hocus Pocus,” Winnie resurrects Billy Butcherson to do her bidding, which mainly includes wrangling Max and Dani so she can harvest their youth, but depending on an ex-boyfriend that you poisoned to death for help isn’t a great strategy. The zombie quickly switches sides and helps the kids defeat the Sandersons. Billy’s heroism, wobbly walk, and tendency to lose his head (literally) made him one of the most beloved characters of the movie, and fans were jazzed to hear that he was returning for the reboot....

Obtaining the ultimate animation library Warner Bros. For those who need a quick recap on Ted Turner, he’s the closest thing to Doug Dimmadome from “The Fairly Oddparents” in real life. He’s the founder of TNT, TBS, and CNN, used to own both the Atlanta Hawks and the Atlanta Braves as well as World Championship Wrestling (WCW), is the co-creator of “Captain Planet and the Planeteers,” is the “Turner” in “Turner Classic Movies,” and famously called anti-abortionists “bozos....

How Hollywood Saved Grace Kelly’s Early Acting Career Paramount Pictures By Shae Sennett/Aug. 10, 2022 2:18 pm EST Grace Kelly was a star the moment she set foot in Hollywood, but the silver screen wasn’t always her dream. The actress began her career on the stage, where she always had theatrical ambitions, even after she found success in Tinseltown.

Marvel Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/Oct. 4, 2022 3:33 pm EST It feels like we’ve been inundated with an influx of projects across multiple platforms with little time to actually process them. The most exciting prospect to come out of this, however, is a studio in experimentation mode. Projects like “Wandavision,” “Multiverse of Madness” and “What If?” made it clear that the MCU was now free to play around a bit and see what sticks, and they’ve still only begun to tap into the weird stuff....

‘I was ready to jump into the scene’ Marvel Studios An audition can be a nerve-wracking experience, where an actor is made to feel vulnerable and judged, but it sounds like Duke and Boseman were able to have fun with theirs. Later in the interview, Duke recalled the first time he met Boseman at his “Black Panther” screen test. “He was just very calm, quiet, and really generous,” Duke said. “I could tell that he was willing to play....

Marvel Phase 4 Ends With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Marvel Studios By Mike Shutt/July 23, 2022 8:57 pm EST Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been … interesting. Without question, it has contained the most content of any of the previous phases, containing six films and seven television series thus far, with “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” just around the corner as well. We have been operating under the impression that Phase 4 really had no tangible end in sight, as so many projects have been announced for the future....

One Of The Best Sopranos Episodes Originated With One Line HBO By Anya Stanley/Nov. 16, 2022 2:01 pm EST “The Sopranos” features some incredible episodes. It was more cinematic than a gangster show was expected to be in the ’90s and, as /Film’s Shae Sennett writes, creator David Chase was aware of its potential as a national phenomenon. It was a television show about a Mafia man, of course, but borne of Chase’s experiences in therapy, this mob boss would learn everything about himself and change little — a concept that would eventually dominate the wave of prestige TV to come....

Quentin Tarantino Didn’t Realize What A ‘Serious’ Film The Hateful Eight Would Be The Weinstein Company By Ernesto Valenzuela/Dec. 22, 2022 7:19 am EST Many, if not all, of Quentin Tarantino’s films, feature some form of intense violence or action. At this point in the director’s career, it’s expected that some form of confrontation ends in a fight one way or another. Most of these fights are over-the-top blood fests that play into Tarantino’s love of older action films....

‘It’s just the best bubblegum you’ve ever had’ Eamonn M. Mccormack/Getty Images Here’s what she had to say about her time working on the adaptation: “I am such a fan of the director — he’s a newcomer in a way.
