Director Mathieu Turi announced the news on Twitter yesterday with a link to French website Allocine, and it was later confirmed via IGN. On paper, “A Plague Tale” doesn’t sound like an easy story to adapt, as it’s at once a harrowing and emotional historical story and a supernatural thriller....

The Brody story is legendary even among stars Plummer and Clooney had appeared in “The New World” and “The Thin Red Line,” respectively. Plummer said that Brody didn’t find out about the reduction of his role in “The Thin Red Line” until he was at the movie’s premiere. Clooney, who had more direct, firsthand knowledge of the film’s production, said that he thought it actually happened at a press junket. Either way, that’s extremely late notice, and it’s hard to believe that Malick (or someone on his behalf) didn’t reach out to Brody sooner to let him know before he appeared in Vanity Fair profiles and started doing other promotions for the film....

Jackass Forever Review: 20 Years Later, It’s Just As Demented As Ever Paramount Pictures By Josh Spiegel/Feb. 2, 2022 12:00 pm EST Chaos has never been more hilarious or perverse than when you enter the world of “Jackass”. Twenty years after the original film was unleashed in theaters by Paramount Pictures and MTV Films, and a few sequels and spin-off shows later, the crew of this warped fantasia of stunts, nudity, and gleeful gross-out humor has survived to make a fourth entry in the series, “Jackass Forever”....

After the streamer revealed it lost 200,000 subscribers last quarter, the company suffered drastic financial losses overnight. In the animation side of things, Netflix also went through some controversy, with a report stating that there have been big shake-ups going on at Netflix’s animation department, including the firing of a key executive, and the cancellation of projects like an adaptation of Jeff Smith’s “Bone,” and even Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s animated series “Pearl....

Oppenheimer First Look: Cillian Murphy Will Build The Atomic Bomb For Christopher Nolan Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 22, 2022 2:28 pm EST It’s probably safe to say that few directors are able to drum up as much excitement and anticipation from diehard fans, casual audiences, and everyone in-between the way that Christopher Nolan does. In a blockbuster landscape where only the biggest franchise IPs tend to survive and thrive, the popular, name-brand filmmaker has made a living out of creating genuine event films from original ideas — thanks to a career boost from that hugely successful “Dark Knight” trilogy, of course....

Revisiting Attack Of The Clones 20 Years Later: A Mess, But One Ahead Of Its Time Lucasfilm By Rafael Motamayor/May 16, 2022 11:00 am EST There is a cycle to anything related to “Star Wars,” wherein a new project is initially met with excitement, makes a ton of money, then is hated for years until it is reappraised by fans and loved again. The prequel trilogy was once reviled as a childhood ruiner, but is now hugely popular again thanks in no small part to memes, the animated series, and kids who grew up with the movies now able to defend them online....

Robin Williams Went Above And Beyond Behind The Scenes Of Good Will Hunting Miramax By Mike Shutt/May 20, 2022 8:34 am EST Robin Williams was taking a chance when he signed on for “Good Will Hunting.” In the 1990s, he was one of the biggest movie stars in the world. “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “The Birdcage,” “Jumanji,” and, of course, “Aladdin” all made boatloads of cash, and he could basically do whatever film he wanted to make....

The 15 Most Anticipated Shows And Films Of February 2022 Sony Pictures By Scott Thomas/Jan. 28, 2022 12:39 pm EST Deja vu is more than strawberry ice cream with one spoon for two — it’s the disorienting feeling of having experienced the same situation already, of tedious and grating familiarity. And, if you care about movies, might have had deja vu a lot this month: With cases of Omicron surging nationwide and only Spider-Man soaring at the box office, movie studios started shifting release dates left and right once more....
