The X-Men co-stars have been reunited at the London premiere of Star Trek: Picard, with Patrick Stewart uploading a photo of the encounter to Instagram.
HBO has a complicated ownership history. The network was owned by Time Inc., until the latter merged with Warner in 1989. Just over 3 years ago, Warner then became the pawn in this Agar.io like accumulation of capital, when bigger fish AT&T devoured them for a handy $108.7 billion. What does any of this have to do with Harry Potter, though?
If like me, you loathe the prospect of exercise, and would much rather spend your time sat in the comfy confines of your home cinema, queueing up your seventeenth biannual Beverly Hills Cop marathon, and you love sentences of infuriatingly numerous commas and unreadably absurd lengths (OK, I made that one up), then like me you’ll be delighted to hear this latest bit of news.
Guns Akimbo is an action comedy from the creative bosom of Jason Lei Howden, due to make its stateside debut on February 28th. It stars Daniel Radcliffe as Miles Harris, whose “mundane existence is turned upside-down when he finds himself enrolled on a dark net website that forces complete strangers to fight in a city-wide game of death so that their gladiatorial battles can be live-streamed worldwide to a fanatical audience.” Something tells me the Wikipedian who wrote that synopsis didn’t pull it from an official press release (though if it was official, magnificent job boyo).
Rian Johnson holds something of an awkward position in the Star Wars universe. The backlash against The Last Jedi is a well-worn topic of conversation, but given that he's been lined up to helm an entire new trilogy, his uncomfortable relationship with the franchise’s fanbase has to be addressed.
The Witcher, you know, the TV series based on the book series, not the video game based on the book series. You goddit. Probably didn’t need the preface. Which winter Witcher wish will we wily watch with wanting today? I’m glad you asked. The wish for a second season? We’re going to have to wait.
Star Trek: Picard is upon us. We're just 10 days from seeing Patrick Stewart return to the screen as the eponymous captain, his first appearance in the franchise since the 2002 film Star Trek: Nemesis. And ramping up the publicity, the hype, the hyplicity (think it’ll catch on?) even further now, CBS have announced an addition to their roster for those intent on dissecting the show further.
Awards season is in full swing now. Last night, the 25th annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards was hosted in Santa Monica and one of its decisions has already detonated the wrath of internet opinionistas (I can talk, I’m one of them).
There are three inescapable certainties in life. Death, taxes and Disney parting with directors over “creative differences.” Scott Derrickson’s departure from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has seen him join the increasingly long line of artistes to have fallen by the wayside, a line including Edgar Wright (Ant-Man), Patty Jenkins (Thor: The Dark World), Colin Trevorrow (The Rise of Skywalker), and so on and so forth.
