James Cameron has a massive ego, but we all knew that. When you make two movies twelve years apart and they become the two most successful films in history, you’re going to think highly of yourself. And when Avengers: Endgame passed Avatar to become the highest-grossing movie worldwide, you just knew that it bothered the director. Especially since Endgame only barely squeaked by it after a re-release with new footage.
To say Star Wars: The Last Jedi divided audiences would be an understatement. On the one hand, it subverts our expectations of what a Star Wars movie needs. Writer/director Rian Johnson insisted on surprising audiences by significantly altering Luke Skywalker’s beliefs (despite star Mark Hamill’s objections), lessening Supreme Leader Snoke’s involvement to the entire saga, and all but throwing the mystery of Rey’s parents out the window.
Quentin Tarantino has been making the rounds to promote the release of Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood on video. While speaking to Consequence of Sound, he gave an update on his Star Trek movie, how he almost wrote Halloween 6 way back when and also shared his thoughts on Rob Zombies’ often maligned Halloween movies.
If you’re a fan of Keanu Reeves - and really, who isn’t at this point? - then mark May 21st, 2021 in your calendars, as both The Matrix 4 (working title) and John Wick: Chapter 4 are releasing on that same day.
Netflix could lose 4 million subscribers in 2020 according to Needham analyst Laura Martin, who also predicts the company's stock to dip 2%. Needham’s reasoning behind the prediction centers around two things: high prices and competitors.
Trailers for upcoming movies have been dropping left and right lately. You might even say they’ve been coming fast and furious (sorry). Between Black Widow, No Time To Die, Wonder Woman 1984 and yesterday’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, hype for next summer’s slate of films has officially begun.
The end of Avengers: Endgame was a great capper on over 10 years of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So many stories about characters we’ve grown to love were wrapped up beautifully. But this is Marvel we’re talking about and nothing ever officially ends. We need another dose of exciting new adventures injected into our veins, after all.
