Tye Sheridan might only be 24 years old, but he's already built up an impressive filmography that's seen him jump between acclaimed independent dramas and big budget blockbusters. His first three credits saw him share the screen with Brad Pitt in The Tree of Life, Matthew McConaughey in Mud and Nicolas Cage in Joe, which is an impressive start to a career.
Say what you will about the recent Mortal Kombat reboot, but it was certainly one of the more accurate video game adaptations we've ever seen. Many plot, character and backstory elements, as well as the gruesome fatalities, were lifted directly from the console series, which is undoubtedly one of the major reasons why fans received the movie so rapturously.
It would be an understatement to say that we've seen many iterations of the Transformers franchise over the years, ranging from the original animated show that premiered in September 1984 to Steven Caple Jr.'s mega budget live-action blockbuster Rise of the Beasts, which is set to hit theaters next summer.
Netflix's Red Notice stands every chance of becoming the platform's most-watched original movie ever, with the first trailer promising an abundance of star power, plenty of odd couple bickering, some witty repartee and the requisite blockbuster pyrotechnics. Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in the same project would be enough to guarantee bumper box office, so it stands to reason that massive viewership numbers are guaranteed.
Task Force X have faced a rocky road so far in the DCEU, with David Ayer's Suicide Squad making a lot of money but finding itself panned by critics after Warner Bros. drastically altered the filmmaker's original vision in post-production, while James Gunn's hybrid of sequel and reboot scored some of the best reviews in the franchise's history, but flopped hard at the box office.
The first three episodes of Marvel's What If...? made it clear that being a great actor in live-action doesn't necessarily translate to animation. Not to name any names in particular, but there were more than a few sketchy vocal performance across the opening trio of installments, but Benedict Cumberbatch reliably gave it his all when his turn rolled around in last week's "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?".
It was towards the end of July it was first reported Bassam Tariq had entered talks to helm the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Blade reboot, but it was only last week that the filmmaker confirmed his involvement. The 34 year-old is a largely unknown quantity, with just one feature film and one documentary under his belt, but Kevin Feige's outfit is famed for picking directors out of left field that prove to be inspired choices.
