Tiffany Haddish turned down Get Out Universal Pictures The connection comes from Tiffany Haddish’s previous work with filmmaker Jordan Peele, who worked with her on the comedy film “Keanu,” in addition to serving as a producer on her series “The Last O.G.” As movie lovers are surely aware, Peele has become one of the great modern genre directors, which all started thanks to his Oscar-winning 2017 smash hit “Get Out.” As it turns out, Haddish had the chance to star in the movie in the role of Georgina, a role that was ultimately played by Betty Gabriel....

This Was The ‘Paradigm Shift’ For Avatar: The Way Of Water’s FX Team 20th Century Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/Dec. 21, 2022 3:30 pm EST It’s easy to see why “Avatar: The Way of Water” took over a decade to make it to the big screen. The extravagantly beautiful sequel was the passion project of James Cameron, and if you thought he was going to follow up the highest-grossing film of all time with passable visual effects, then you clearly haven’t heard him speak in interviews....

Who inspired Tom Hardy’s Bane? Warner Bros. Pictures During a conversation with Andy Serkis, Hardy discussed one of the internet’s most frequently asked questions about himself: How did Tom Hardy do the Bane voice? He explained: “Bane quintessentially is Latinx… of origin, and I’m not. So I looked at the concept of Latin and found a character, a gentleman, a man called Bartley Gorman, who’s a Romani gypsy, the King of the Gypsies, in inverted commas, a bare-knuckle fighter…”...

Why Robin Wright Doesn’t See Forrest Gump’s Jenny As A Tragic Character Paramount Pictures By J. Gabriel Ware/July 16, 2022 11:49 am EST The following article includes allegations of domestic abuse and sexual assault. Robin Wright gained critical acclaim for her performance in 1994’s drama-comedy “Forrest Gump.” In the film, Wright plays Jenny Curran, the elusive and highly coveted love interest of the titular character. Even though Wright couldn’t have predicted the impact neither the movie nor her character would have on moviegoers, she told Entertainment Weekly in 2021 that while working onset she sensed something special happening....

Tomorrow, the sun rises on a different world Dynamite Entertainment To understand just how critical the storyline would be for the rest of the show, let’s recap the events as they happen in the original comic arc. Tired of his image being ruined and wanting to reestablish himself as a force to be reckoned with, Homelander devises a plan to stage an insurrection supposedly enforced by Vought.

Working Girl Had To Break Some Laws To Shoot Its Opening Scene By Jeremy Smith/July 18, 2022 7:24 pm EST Making a studio movie is a massive undertaking that requires people trained in widely different disciplines to get on the same page for several months in the hopes of crafting a piece of entertainment that will provide audiences with a two-hour escape from the drudgery of their daily lives. When the film is being shot in a heavily trafficked area of a big city, permits are a must....

10 Movies That Fans Of Disney+’s Pinocchio Should Check Out Next Walt Disney Pictures By Dalin Rowell/Sept. 9, 2022 3:53 pm EST Considering the legacy of Disney’s original 1940 “Pinocchio,” it makes sense that the studio would dust the classic tale off the shelf and give it a shiny live-action coat of paint. In this new adaptation (one of many that Hollywood is obsessed with turning out), director Robert Zemeckis takes audiences back into the whimsical and slightly creepy world of a wooden puppet boy and his quest to become real....

Roswell, New Mexico Warner Bros. Television Distribution A reboot of the WB’s “Roswell,” which in itself was based on the “Roswell High” book series, “Roswell, New Mexico” is currently in its 3rd season on the CW, with previous seasons available to stream on Netflix. While many reboots are hollow copies of the shows that came before, “Roswell, New Mexico” sets itself apart from the original in many ways. In “Roswell,” aliens are real, look like everyone else, and live among the townspeople of Roswell, New Mexico....

My Anaconda don’t Sony Pictures Releasing Snake facts! The titular constrictor in “Anaconda” was based on a real South American snake which is the largest found on the continent. In real life, they can grow to be about 15 feet in length, although in 2000 — after the release of Llosa’s film – Dr. Jesús Antonio Rivas found an anaconda that was 30 feet long and weighed 551 pounds. Anacondas are not venomous....

The fall of a king … and the rise of another Marvel Studios The trailer opens by cutting back and forth between T’Challa’s funeral in Wakanda and Namor painting a mural in Talocan. “Only the most broken people can be great leaders,” we hear Namor musing. Is he referring to himself, or the people of Wakanda? In either case, this speaks volumes about his outlook and why he might take issue with Wakanda, whose rulers come to power based on their lineage and not their individual merits (although most of them do, in time, have to prove themselves to be worthy of their position)....

Clint Eastwood Almost Threw Out Unforgiven’s Screenplay Sight Unseen Warner Bros. “Unforgiven” can be seen as both Clint Eastwood’s magnum opus and a treatise on his mortality. A film about a retired Western outlaw taking on one last job, it’s awfully reflective of Eastwood’s career up to that point. The man who starred in films like “Dirty Harry” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” for years, always the brave renegade, was getting older....

Every Saw Movie Ranked Worst To Best Lionsgate By Chad Collins/Aug. 21, 2022 4:49 pm EST If it’s Halloween, it must be “Saw.” The franchise, first conceived by genre maestro James Wan and scribe Leigh Whannell, set the horror world ablaze. So much so, that by the time the fourth entry hit theaters in 2007, Lionsgate Films positioned the franchise as part and parcel of the Halloween season itself. Like Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger, franchise antagonist John Kramer, otherwise known as Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) became a horror icon....

Filming Back-To-Back Seasons Was A Unique Opportunity For The Cast Of Locke & Key Netflix By Rafael Motamayor/Aug. 19, 2022 1:21 pm EST Based on an acclaimed and beloved comic book series, and following a decade of failed adaptations, Netflix’s “Locke & Key” always had impossibly high expectations to meet.

Guillermo Del Toro Replaced Pinocchio’s ‘Crap’ Original Villain, But He’s Still In The Movie Netflix By Rafael Motamayor/Dec. 9, 2022 1:41 pm EST Guillermo del Toro has a lot of unmade projects — like, a lot — but his list finally got a bit smaller, because the Oscar-winner finally got to make the stop-motion “Pinocchio” he dreamed about for over a decade. Not only that, but it is one of the best movies of the year, a beautiful story of imperfect fathers and imperfect sons, with another winning score from Alexandre Desplat, and a true marvel of animation....

Holiday Classic Gremlins Helped Shape The Tone Of Chris Peckover’s Better Watch Out Well Go USA By Rafael Motamayor/Dec. 2, 2022 2:21 pm EST Christmas horror movies are some of the most fun you can have during the holidays.

How Neil Patrick Harris’ Classic Harold And Kumar Cameo Came To Be New Line Cinema By Jenna Busch/Aug. 9, 2022 8:20 pm EST If you’ve seen the 2004 film “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,” you likely have a deep and abiding love for not only Neil Patrick Harris himself, but the fictional version that he plays in the film.

How One V/H/S/99 Entry Paid Homage To Phantasm [Exclusive] Shudder By Matthew Bilodeau/Oct. 21, 2022 3:19 pm EST Whether they’re seasoned filmmakers or voices on the rise, the “V/H/S” series has been a great den for all sorts of talent to try their hand at a miniature horror story. Horror anthologies have been going strong for decades, but it really wasn’t until 2012’s “V/H/S” where the concept was crafted to fit the mold for found footage....

The T-1000 is in, Arnie is (almost) out TriStar Pictures For “T2,” James Cameron had to go bigger than that comparatively miniscule $6.4 million movie that kicked off the franchise back in 1984. Now, with a massive budget at his disposal and the obvious advances in CGI, the director revisited an idea he had for the original movie, which he had dismissed at the time due to technical and budgetary limitations....
