As mentioned, this is not the first lawsuit that has been fought over Friday the 13th. Several of the people who worked on the original 1980 film, including screenwriter Victor Miller and director Sean Cunningham, have been locked in legal battles over creative rights of the franchise for years. In 2018, Victor Miller won a lawsuit that awarded him creative ownership of Friday the 13th in the domestic market, despite producers’ claims that he was commissioned under creative control of Sean Cunningham and therefore not entitled to the ownership. Sean...

Now it’s been a while since the pair have been seen together as Jane and Darcy, but I always sensed an electric chemistry between those two. It may have even stuck out more than Jane and Thor’s (oops… throwing some shade – not their fault, especially since Dark World is infamously one of the weaker Marvel scripts). It’s nice to know Portman and Dennings are friends in our reality too, so now reunite them in Love and Thunder, Marvel!....

Of course, now that Michelle Pfeiffer has made it clear that she would return, one wonders if anybody at Warner Bros. might be making a phone call right now. At this point it's unclear how many of the classic versions of DC characters might appear, or how significant their roles will actually be. But it certainly feels like there's an opportunity for a Catwoman cameo at the very least. So who knows, maybe we'll see it....

Within 24 hours of the trailer drop, Godzilla vs. Kong racked up 15.8 million views on the Warner Bros YouTube channel, along with an additional 9.8 million on the Legendary, Warner Bros UK, official Godzilla vs. Kong and HBO Max Twitter accounts. Luiz Fernandez recorded the results on Twitter, sharing that it could very well be the “biggest debut ever” for Warner Bros....

Here’s one last crazy bit of casting that almost happened on the road to Southland Tales. As Richard Kelly went out of his way to cast actors against their usual type casting archetypes, a lot of comedic actors were drafted to make up this film’s ensemble. A good number of these folks, like Amy Poehler, Cheri Oteri and Jon Lovitz, had previously been a part of/would go onto become part of the SNL family. However, it’s a pair of MadTV graduates that make up this last switcharoo, and you can...

In any case, along with Daveed Diggs, The Little Mermaid’s voice cast includes Jacob Tremblay as Flounder and Awkwafina as Scuttle, while the live-action performers include Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula and Javier Bardem as King Triton, along with Noma Dumezweni and Emily Coates in undisclosed roles. Mary Poppins Returns’ Rob Marshall is directing the Little Mermaid remake off a script by Jane Goldman and David Magee. Filming was initially supposed to begin in April 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic,...

Financial analyst John Hodulik at firm UBS is is forecasting that attendance at all of Disney's domestic parks, including Disneyland Resort, will rebound significantly starting in the latter half of 2020, and will be at what the Orange County Register calls "historical attendance levels" in 2022. This is a significantly faster turn around than was originally anticipated as it was believed that, due to the economic damage done by the pandemic, combined with crowd avoidance from potential guests, recovery in the parks would take longer....

That changed ever so slightly today, as Godzilla vs. Kong was moved back five days so that it will now premiere on March 31, 2021 – but we can keep our fingers crossed that will be the last move it makes. Should that hold true, that means that as of this article being published there are just a little over two months left to go before its arrival, and you can be sure that we’re counting down the days....

This week marks the 60th anniversary of the release of the animated Disney classic, 101 Dalmatians. It's a great film, but it's perhaps possible that the live-action version made by Disney in the mid-'90s, one of the first in what would become a series of remakes, is even better. Although, if it is a better film, that's entirely due to the performance of Glenn Close as the villain Cruella de Vil. Close is perfect in the role of the and it turns out she can recreate the character anytime she'd...

As of right now we really only know that two members of the cast from the original are coming back, and that's primarily because of the tease featured at the very end of the film. Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld will be reprising their roles as Miles Morales and Gwen Stacey, but right now your guess is as good as mine when it comes to co-stars like Jake Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry,Nicolas Cage, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Velez, John Mulaney, and Kimiko Glenn....

While nude scenes likely aren't in Kiera Knightley's future, it seems pretty clear that she won't be doing one shot by a male director. While appearing on the podcast, she went on to explain how awkward it is being nude in a set full of men. The past few years have seen way more women directors helming major projects, including blockbusters like Wonder Woman 1984, Birds of Prey, and Black Widow....

Demme Filled The Cast With Lucky Charms, Mentors And CrewWhile Foster and Hopkins are given their proper due for their tremendous performances, the entire cast of The Silence of the Lambs is fantastic. To fill out all the roles, Demme made some fun and meaningful choices. Demme cast his “lucky charm” Charles Napier as one of guards who is killed by Lecter. Per IMDb, Napier had been in every Demme film between 1977’s Citizens Band and Silence of the Lambs (he would star in nine Demme films in total). He...

Once in a while, a meme goes viral and takes the world by storm. Many have come and gone, and the most recent has put Bernie Sanders at the forefront. The U.S. senator was one of many to attend the recent Presidential Inauguration of Joe Biden and, during the event, someone snapped a photo of Sanders sitting and bundled up, complete with a warm-looking set of mittens. Since the image hit the web, many have taken the senator’s likeness and placed it in various settings, leading to some incredible memes....

I definitely look back on it fondly. It was a challenge, in that the script was changing at a certain point.... There was a certain point early on where the story shifted. A new writer was brought in and things were changed. And so, I had met Jyn Erso’s character one way, and they even used it in the trailers where I say, ‘Hello, Cassian said you are a friend. I will not kill you.’ And people, when I would go to Comic-Cons would say, ‘Could you write that?’ I’m...
