In addition to a Netflix comedy special, Norm Macdonald left behind a screenplay for a film adaptation of his celebrated book, Based on a True Story.
Geoff Edgers, Macdonald’s trusted scribe, wrote in the Washington Post that the Canadian comedian adapted his “memoir” into film form sometime around June 2020.
Marvel fans began to look back at older Marvel titles as this ongoing fan-made Marvel Timeline now exists online, showcasing films before the Disney MCU.
A website called MarvelOrder.com has placed most of the past, current, and future films and TV projects featuring various Marvel IPs. Not only this timeline features the Disney MCU but also films released from other production/film companies such as Fox. A preview was shared on Reddit by user u/purforium, calling it ‘Phase 0’.
In Star Wars the lack of accuracy shown by Stormtroopers when hunting down rebels has become one of the franchise’s biggest jokes, but one group of YouTubers has accurately shown how drastically the story would change if this wasn’t the case.
VFX team Corridor has shared a six-minute video called “Stormtroopers, but They’re ACCURATE” which showcases how events from the original trilogy would have changed should the soldiers had better aim.
Star Wars, a diverse galaxy filled to the brim with astonishing ideas and love, is home to an absolute cesspool of a fandom at times, and the official account took no prisoners responding to a hater on Twitter.
Star Wars Celebration, the annual convention for hardcore fans to, well, celebrate, Star Wars announced two of its guests in Billie Lourd and Kelly Marie Tran, and while the sheer majority of fans are delighted to see them, a few dissenting trolls have decided to let everyone know for their opinion that nobody asked for.
Animation fans are at war as they determine which Dreamworks animated film has to get the boot. On top of that, three sequels have been put forward, and it’s all-out carnage.
This all started when Twitter user @wwwinco started a “one has to go” animation thread. In the thread are multiple animation films fighting it out in different categories. There are Disney films, Pixar, Anime, Illumination studios, etc.
The sweep is still ongoing for Jared Leto’s Morbius, and the waves of ironic appreciation has crescendoed into a Bee Movie-esque farce as the entire film’s script has become a copypasta.
In one of the most fittingly stupid moments of recent internet history, Morbius has outlived its actual memeability into becoming 2022’s stand-out punching bag. Critically panned, and culturally forgotten if not for the internet, Morbius keeps sucking some more life force with its recent digital release.
Top Gun: Maverick has now made its debut at the international box office and, over the weekend, not only has it exceeded expectations from Paramount but also set a record in the long illustrious career of star Tom Cruise.
As reported by Deadline, opening in 62 different international box office markets, the Top Gun sequel has garnered $124 million marking the biggest international opening weekend in Cruise’s career beating out the previous title holder, Mission: Impossible – Fallout.
A debate has kicked off on Twitter about the best horror movies of the 1990s and a certain Sam Raimi cult classic is leading the pack.
Army of Darkness, the third film in the Raimi-directed, Bruce Campbell-led Evil Dead series, got picked so many times that it was trending on the platform over the weekend.
Ron Howard occupies unique filmmaking territory, in that he exists somewhere between a prestige favorite, a populist entertainer, and a genre-hopping journeyman, with two Academy Award under his belt and billions of box office dollars to show for it. 2013’s Rush might be the perfect combination of his many talents, though, even if it undeservedly underperformed in theaters.
The fast-paced and frantic character piece is a combination of high-octane racing thriller, biographical drama, and sports movie, bolstered by arguably the single finest performance of Chris Hemsworth’s career as charming playboy James Hunt, even if most of the plaudits (and a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Golden Globes) were aimed at Daniel Brühl’s Nikki Lauda.
Léa Seydoux is no stranger to the world of big budget blockbusters having appeared in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood and Brad Bird’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, along with her recurring turn as Madeleine Swann in James Bond duo Spectre and No Time to Die, but her first attempt at getting into the superhero business ended up collapsing when Disney canceled Gambit.
Channing Tatum had spent years developing the project, with the actor set to produce as well as play the title role, but a revolving door of filmmakers, budgetary concerns, and an inability to escape from the clutches of development hell saw the fan favorite mutant’s solo spinoff ultimately fade away into nothingness.
