Why would you be watching Contagion or Outbreak right now? Sure, they’re relevant pieces of entertainment amidst the coronavirus pandemic. But we don’t need to be reminded of the current state of affairs. What we need is to turn our brains off and watch a fun action movie that's also kind of about a potential virus threatening mankind.
It seems like only a matter of time before Black Widow joins the list of major studio releases to be delayed. While Disney and Marvel have yet to announce it, signs point to a move for the blockbuster despite its release date still being six weeks out.
Kumail Nanjiani doesn’t mind posing for shirtless pics. At least, not these days after getting ridiculously jacked for his upcoming role in The Eternals. If you'll recall, photos circulated late last year of the comedian's incredible transformation and now, he’s at it again.
The first few months of every new year have traditionally been a down period for Hollywood and the movie industry in terms of box office. The holidays just ended, kids are going back to school and the weather’s generally bad so no one wants to trek to the local theater.
Vin Diesel has been making the rounds promoting his new film Bloodshot (which needs all the help it can get at this point) and in addition to that, has been giving updates on Fast & Furious 9. The next installment in the Fast Saga was originally set for release in May with the actor assuring fans that the movie would keep its release date despite the recent coronavirus pandemic.
The coronavirus is having a massive effect on the entertainment industry. A few weeks ago, we told you about the sudden surge in sales for the 2011 outbreak movie Contagion from Steven Soderbergh and now, Warner Bros. has announced that it's become the second-hottest film in their library.
I don’t feel like we spent enough time talking about the disaster that was Cats. It’s a movie that came out three months ago and stars big names like Taylor Swift, Idris Elba and Jennifer Hudson. The film cost nearly $100 million before marketing and is notorious for having its original version replaced with a newer one that had improved visual effects. Seriously, they released it in an unfinished state.
The coronavirus or COVID-19, continues to affect the movie industry. Major Hollywood releases, including Mulan, The New Mutants and Fast & Furious 9 have all been postponed and now there’s another major production taking a hit.
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s finally happening. The sequel you’ve all been waiting for. No, not Mad Max: Fury Road. I’m talking about The VelociPastor 2. No, that isn’t a typo. I didn’t mean to write velociraptor. It’s VelociPastor, as in a dinosaur mixed with a man of the faith. Talk about an elevator pitch.
