Why Hamilton Shouldn’t Be Eligible For The Oscars Putting aside various issues and systemic problems, the Academy Awards is about one thing: the celebration of film. All genres are taken into consideration, as are documentaries and shorts, and the art is highlighted on a great number of levels – from visual effects and production design,

It’s unclear what the ultimate reason was for Will Smith turning down Captain Hook. He may have simply not loved the role, or he may have decided that one Disney live-action remake is enough for him, especially considering that all indications are we’ll be getting a sequel to Aladdin at some point in the future,

We still have yet to see Halle’s look as Ariel one year later. The movie has been kept a mystery other than its incredible ensemble cast. Melissa McCarthy is playing Ursula, Hamilton’s Daveed Diggs is Sebastian, Awkwafina will be Scuttle, Jacob Tremblay is Flounder, Javier Bardem is King Triton, and British actor Jonah Hauer-King will

Hollywood is still in the midst of figuring out exactly how to move forward, with productions trying to be both safe and efficient in their operations, but one movie now exists that’s far ahead of the curve. It’s titled Malcolm & Marie, it’s written and directed by Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, it stars John David

Around 1/3 into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Bruce Wayne falls asleep in the Batcave and sees a vision of a terrifying dystopian future. In the Knightmare Superman is an authoritarian leader, ruling over terrifying Parademons in a desert wasteland. But stunt performer Richard Cetrone recently revealed that the scene wasn’t originally in the

When Lin-Manuel Miranda first set out to adapt it into a film, he imagined it more so as a “little indie musical,” but when he collaborated with Chu he realized how rare the opportunity would be to turn the story into something filmed on a huge scale. The movie was shot on an anamorphic scale

Ray Fisher has revealed as much during a recent Instagram livestream, where he fielded questions about not only whether he’d be at the upcoming DC FanDome event, but also if he was outside of the limitations of his Non-Disclosure Agreement. Presumably, the NDA in question is the one that he signed for his time as

The new Tom Hanks film Greyhound, sets the Oscar-winning actor in World War II, a place he’s been before. While movies like Saving Private Ryan largely weren’t filmed at the actual locations of the war, they were filmed using mostly practical locations and effects. Greyhound, however, is very much a film of its own time,

But are you ready for the second wrinkle in this development? According to Bob Gale, the shot of Marty punching Biff, if it does indeed feature Eric Stoltz, may not actually be the only representation of Stolz’s contribution to the theatrical cut of Back To The Future. What makes the circumstances different, though, is the

While this kind of increase for one weekend is already very good news for Disney, Apptopia’s VP of insights and global alliances, Adam Blacker, pointed out that the real number of the subscriber increase is likely way higher, seeing as how they only measure mobile phone downloads, and not subscriber data for those who accessed

Woooo, boy! Elsa as Scarlet Witch…sorry, Scarlet Whitish, is, yet again, a force to be reckoned with, amirite? Who knew how apt her natural facial expressions while using her ice powers would be during this change in character? I have to say, she looks good in red. I can certainly see her mixing it up

With Alien and Predator coming under the Marvel banner, it makes me wonder if Marvel wants to somehow include them in their cinematic universe. It sounds preposterous, of course, but they’ve pulled off crazier things before. The other possibility is that Disney wants to create a new timeline for the movies like they did with

James Cameron Reportedly Made $350+ Million For Making Avatar It’s an understatement to say that James Cameron is a very wealthy individual. The guy once made two of the highest-grossing movies of all-time. That is not an easy feat, and it brings you a great deal of wealth in this life. Sure enough, thanks to

Another 4th of July has come and gone and, with the holiday, many people across the country find different ways to celebrate. For instance, film fans may take in a viewing of Independence Day. But when it comes to superhero fans, they mark the occasion by paying tribute to Captain America, who, in the comics,

Yeah okay, I can see why. Just look at how the 34-year-old English actor can hold himself in a tux? The unique charm an actor like James Norton has is he’s a familiar face, but not so much so that we’d call him by his name and forget he’s Bond every once in a while.

Okay, so of course I know that there are several differences between the two series. Like for example, the character of Madea Simmons started off in stage plays on what is often referred to as the “Chitlin’ Circuit” (though, Ebony magazine referred to it as the “urban theater circuit”), so in that way, they were

Cameron Diaz gave birth to her daughter, Raddix, at the very end of 2019, and shared the happy news with fans in early January 2020. Just a couple of months later, the recent health crisis forced most of the world into some form of lockdown — not exactly what anyone would hope for in their

Great Interviews With Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Brian Michael Smith, And More As mentioned above, Disclosure is given great perspective and reflection through its impressive roster of interview subjects, all of whom are trans, queer and/or non-binary. Laverne Cox, who also serves as an executive producer, is one of the most prominent celebrities seen throughout

“Dig A Little Deeper” Much like “Down in New Orleans” should be used to open the attraction, another Princess and the Frog song is the perfect way to wrap it up. Currently, Splash Mountain ends with a big celebratory sequence where dozens of animatronics dance and sing the classic song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.” I would expect the

This mattered to Kumail Nanjiani, though, and he put in the work to look and feel different. Speaking of looks, I wish Eternals would give us one. The Marvel Studios marketing machine has been on pause for the time being as the film industry rests in limbo. By now, we were supposed to already have

This is especially the case after the events of Season 3, which (spoiler alert for anyone not caught up), teases a world doomed for destruction unless Bernard can find a way to save humanity. The show has gone a lot deeper with its concept than even the movie’s creator, Michael Crichton, may have taken it,

DC Has A Shaky Track Record Following the conclusion of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, DC has struggled to release consistent, quality movies. Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League didn’t get this franchise off to the most solid of starts, with these these movies earning mixed-to-negative

The new documentary series that looks at the making of Frozen II is a must watch for fans of the film. Even though the series only covers rgw last year of production, it shows how a remarkable amount of the total film was only really understood in that time. We see “Show Yourself” completely change

Within the past few years, the late King of Pop’s daughter, Paris Jackson, has started to embrace her familial celebrity status by taking on more acting roles. The 22-year-old’s next project, Habit, was sure to become controversial since she’ll be channeling Jesus by donning tousled waves, a traditional robe and all for the flick co-starring

Andrew Erwin, who will co-direct the movie with his brother Jon Erwin, said Zachary Levi is “born to play” Kurt Warner, an Iowa native who later led the St. Louis Rams to Super Bowl victory during his first season as a starter (the only quarterback to ever do so besides Tom Brady). Zachary Levi spoke

The Lion King Is The Highest-Selling VHS Tape Of All-Time It’s hard to overstate The Lion King‘s success. Even beyond the wildest expectations set for the movie, The Lion King proved to be incredibly profitable and extremely lucrative, paving the way for a best-selling soundtrack, a thunderously successful Broadway musical, and a recent “live-action” remake.

Whoa, back up…. three months of training for a single scene? We cannot be sure what sequence Anne Hathaway is referring to from Inception or whether she’d exaggerated the numbers in her head years later, but it’s a known fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt trained hard for that movie. His most rigorous scene was the gravity-defying

Of course, Carl Reiner’s death is a passing that will hit some harder than others. And one of the people it’s undoubtedly going to hit is his best friend and collaborator, Mel Brooks. Late this afternoon, Brooks took to his own Twitter account, and shared an extended message recalling how they met, and how they

Redmayne has to drop his British accent and add a Southern one for this role. Eddie is a character who is dangerous, wounded, crazy, vulnerable, longing to be loved, and twisted. Redmayne gives one of his best performances in this role, easily showcasing all these sides of Eddie, and more, with simple gestures, looks, and

28 Days Later 28 Days Later was a riveting and revolutionary zombie movie, and while 28 Weeks Later wasn’t quite the cinematic classic, it still held its own as a serviceable horror. The crown jewel of this franchise is seeing how the world improves/deteriorates in the wake of this insane situation, which is why there
