Nearly two weeks after Deadpool 2 lost its director when Tim Miller walked away from a creative disagreement with star Ryan Reynolds, another superhero blockbuster movie is seeking a new lead filmmaker. As first reported by The Hollywood Reporter‘s Borys Kit, director Rick Famuyiwa is no longer helming The Flash. Famuyiwa, most known for last summer’s […]

Maybe the best thing to happen for fans of Batman in recent years was Warner Brothers getting a license to the 1966 TV series for DVD and Blu-ray. Previously, the rights to the show were tied up in legal wranglings for decades, particularly with the estate of producer William Dozier. (Fox currently owns the rights, which helped […]

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher shouldn’t work. Fans of Lee Child’s novels objected to the casting of Cruise as the character because he’s not the hulking, 6-foot-5 force from the books. But more than the physical characteristics, Cruise and his megawatt smile didn’t seem to embody someone who chooses to live as a drifter, who would […]

As we’ve discussed during our recaps of Westworld‘s first three episodes, the series is laying a whole lot of groundwork, giving viewers multiple storylines and characters to unpack. If you’ve felt the need to go back and watch an episode or two — or all three — we won’t judge. Thus far, Westworld seems to […]

Doctor Strange opens in theaters in two weeks, on Nov. 4. But after that, it will be six months before Marvel movie magic graces the big screen again. (Yes, Logan will be released on March 4. And Wolverine is a Marvel Comics character. But that technically isn’t a Marvel movie, as the X-Men franchise is with 20th Century […]

Who doesn’t love a little corporate synergy? OK, maybe no one except the executives and producers who push for placements and crossovers across a conglomerate’s various properties. Sometimes, it can be kind of fun, such as when a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiered during Monday Night Football. One Disney property helping another, […]

Ben Affleck has accumulated a lot of goodwill from critics for his work in directing Gone Baby Gone, The Town and Argo. (Live By Night, to be released at the end of the year, also looks promising.) He’s also earned quite a bit of credibility among fans and geeks for portraying arguably the best version […]

One of the intriguing questions regarding HBO’s Westworld is what this series is really about. The show can be about more than one thing, of course. And truly great television often is. After two episodes, it’s quite apparent that the series will explore many themes and storylines, which is surely a significant reason why showrunners […]

If you’re a fan of Key & Peele, you know that the duo could get pretty dark with some of their sketches. That was especially true in season four. “Make-A-Wish” is a darker skit that comes to mind, along with “Aerobics Meltdown.” With that kind of talent for finding the creepy in comedy, it probably […]

To this point, very little has been known about a third film featuring Wolverine, the clawed, feral mutant played by Hugh Jackman. (He’s also appeared as Wolverine in five X-Men films.) Speculation has been that the story will follow an older version of the character, presumably based on the “Old Man Logan” comic book arc […]
