We're heading full-tilt into awards season, where Hollywood's best and brightest studios begin to roll out the annual procession of prestige dramas gunning for a sizeable trophy haul when the annual galas kick off in earnest at the beginning of next year. Suffice to say, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (which comes to Prime Video this Friday, November 5) is far from the last biopic you'll be seeing this year, but it's difficult to imagine another one coming along that's quite as unique.
Natalie Portman once said she had no interest in returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so Taika Waititi must have given her a hell of a pitch to convince the Academy Award winner to return for next year's Thor: Love and Thunder.
Quentin Tarantino was at it again, teasing during a recent appearance at the Rome Film Festival that there was no reason why Kill Bill Vol. 3 wouldn't be his final feature film, even though he'll be choosing his next project very carefully to go out with the biggest bang possible if he's planning to stick to his retirement vow.
So much of the chatter surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home has fallen on potential multiversal returnees, that nobody seems to be paying much attention to the core cast from Homecoming and Far From Home and whether or not they'll also be returning for the Marvel Cinematic Universe threequel.
A movie becoming a cult classic before it's even been released is a bit of an oxymoron, when it's impossible to gauge the staying power of any project until audiences have actually had a chance to see it for themselves. However, Snakes on a Plane was an internet sensation from the second it was first announced.
Until the pandemic came along, Paul Rudd's Ant-Man had the distinction of headlining the Marvel Cinematic Universe's two lowest-grossing installments since the conclusion of Phase One. That doesn't mean they're not good movies, it just means that most audiences didn't view him on the same level as some of the franchise's heaviest hitters.
You can barely turn around on any streaming service without bumping into a terrible action movie, such is the sheer volume of VOD efforts flooding the market on a regular basis. Fans are a lot more forgiving than critics, though, which is likely the reason why so many of them end up finding a spot on the most-watched lists of the various platforms available.
James Gunn is famed for using his reach on social media to interact with his fans on almost a daily basis, as well as using the platform to debunk erroneous casting rumors about any number of his upcoming projects, ranging from HBO Max's Peacemaker to the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Before signing an exclusive development deal with Netflix, Kevin Hart was a regular creative collaborator of Sony, and the studio ended up selling the actor's dramatic comedy Fatherhood off to the streaming service, where it went on to become one of the platform's ten most-watched original movies ever.
