The Live-Action One Piece Adaptation Coming To Netflix Just Added Some Cast Members Toei Animation By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 9, 2022 11:11 am EST The trajectory of anime to live-action has been a complicated one, given that it has churned out more misses than hits over the years. Adapting Eiichiro Oda’s “One Piece” is a mammoth task in itself, and the Netflix live-action that is currently in the works has added new cast members....

The Wild True Story Behind The Funniest Joke In Chip N Dale

The Wild True Story Behind The Funniest Joke In Chip ‘N Dale Disney+ By BJ Colangelo/May 20, 2022 7:00 am EST This post contains spoilers about the best joke in “Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers.” Multiverses and metaverses are all the rage thanks to films like “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and the exceptionally wonderful “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” so it should be a shock to no one that the Walt Disney corporation was going to get in on the fun....

These Filmmakers Influenced John Woo S Directorial Style

The birth of Gun-Fu Film Worskhop To be clear, Woo’s filmmaking aesthetic is a fusion of Eastern and Western sensibilities. Though the decade he spent churning out martial arts flicks for Hong Kong’s Golden Harvest production company was not a happy one, his experience inspired him to transpose the kinetic, kung-fu combat style to the stale, convention-bound milieu of the shootout. Take a look at the opening nightclub scene of “The Killer” (as, I guarantee you, every action director worth their weight in squibs has since the film was released)....

TV, Interrupted: Sweet/Vicious Was Like Batman For Sexual Assault Survivors MTV By Valerie Ettenhofer/April 3, 2022 3:59 pm EST Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s “Sweet/Vicious” arrived a year before the world was ready for it. The MTV series about two young vigilantes delivering swift and painful justice to the rapists on their college campus debuted in 2016, and was unfortunately already canceled by spring 2017. It ended just months before the arrest of Harvey Weinstein would lead to a national reckoning about the topics it dealt with head-on....

Silverio/April 11, 2022 4:22 pm EST HBO announced a little over a year ago that David Simon, the creator of the acclaimed series “The Wire,” would be returning to Baltimore, Maryland to uncover more tales of corruption in a new limited series called “We Own This City.” Based on the book of the same name by Baltimore Sun journalist Justin Fenton, the show takes place in the wake of Freddie Gray’s murder in police custody where drug and violent crimes are surging and the cops were under extreme scrutiny....

Why Dancers Make Such Epic Zombies

Welcome to Raccoon City Sony Pictures Releasing Dancer and stunt performer Athena Perample might be one of the more recent, prominent examples of a striking zombie performer. Perample played the zombie queen in Zack Snyder’s Netflix film “Army of the Dead.” In that film, the entire city of Las Vegas has been walled off due to a zombie outbreak, and a team of mercenaries is tasked with staging a heist in the middle of a zombie horde before the entire city is wiped out by a nuclear bomb....

Ben Schwartz S Sonic The Hedgehog Casting Happened By Complete Coincidence

The perfect voice for a heroic hedgehog New York Live Apparently, Ben Schwartz had a meeting with “Deadpool” filmmaker Tim Miller for something unrelated to “Sonic,” and he was extremely excited about it because he was a huge fan of those movies. When the meeting ended, Schwartz noticed a slew of Sonic the Hedgehog figurines on the desk of Jeff Fowler, one of Miller’s collaborators. Miller then explained that they were getting ready to do a test for “Sonic,” with Fowler to direct....

Even The Umbrella Academy Cast Was Kept In The Dark For Ben’s Big Twist Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/March 29, 2022 9:24 am EST Major productions have been known to hide script pages from actors in order to preserve twists and get the most genuine, spontaneous reaction from the cast. It’s a tradition made famous by “Avengers” movies, but it dates at least all the way back to 1975, when the last page of a “MAS*H” season finale script was only revealed once shooting was about to wrap....

Every Morbius Trailer Scene Not In The Movie

Humming Beethoven Sony Pictures The initial teaser trailer for this movie came out more than two years ago. Let us never forget that. And it’s very clear a whole lot changed between then and even when the final trailer came out. That said, the original teaser has Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” as the music bed, and Leto’s Dr. Michael Morbius can be heard humming the tune in the trailer. This is not something that ended up in the final product in any way shape or form....

Expect More Unconnected Standalone Dc Projects Following Success With The Batman

‘Quality is the most important factor’ Warner Bros. The Bat-signal isn’t the only thing lighting things up — “The Batman” is currently flexing its muscles at the box office as we speak, proving that recruiting someone of Matt Reeves’ caliber to direct the next iteration of DC’s most popular (and profitable) hero was a sound creative and business decision to make. Never mind the relative risk of taking a major detour from the ongoing DC Universe storyline (which still has Ben Affleck in the cape and cowl for “The Flash,” mind you) and opening up a wholly separate, disconnected world altogether....

Multiverse Of Madness Will Feature Sinister Strange, Defender Strange, And Zombie Strange Variants Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/March 15, 2022 12:02 pm EST Once the character of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016 with his Scott Derrickson-directed solo movie, it was only a matter of time before exploring the multiverse became the next big focal point in the franchise. Arguably, another superhero movie in a completely different franchise altogether beat Marvel to the punch — 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” which went a long way toward making general audiences familiar with the “rules” of this gloriously comic-booky concept....
