Why Community Killed Off Beloved Side Character Star-Burns Sony Pictures Television By Mike Shutt/April 26, 2022 8:58 am EST The notion of an actor on a long running television show wanting to leave is nothing new, and they do it for a favorite of reasons. Shelley Long left “Cheers” to pursue a career in film at a time when small to big screen crossover was enormously difficult. Paul Schneider left “Parks & Recreation” because he was unhappy with the direction they took his character....

Will There Be A Pacific Rim 3? Here’s What We Know Warner Bros. By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 28, 2021 4:16 pm EST Guillermo del Toro did fans of giant monsters and robots a favor in 2013 by bringing “Pacific Rim” hit theaters. Rather than play in an established franchise sandbox, the filmmaker opted to craft a mega-budget love letter to the kaiju genre. The sci-fi blockbuster did just well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel, which del Toro only produced, in the form of 2018’s “Pacific Rim: Uprising....

Zombae, A Horror-Comedy From 2017, Is Somehow Returning From The Dead In 2022 Indican Pictures By Danielle Ryan/Jan. 25, 2022 2:03 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Twenty-first century romance can be hell, but it gets a little more complicated when your significant other becomes significantly undead. That’s the premise behind “Zombae,” a new horror comedy coming to DVD and On Demand next month from Indican Pictures....

Bros Trailer: Billy Eichner Is Off The Streets And In The Club For A Little Romance Universal Pictures By Shania Russell/June 16, 2022 12:27 pm EST Remember straight people? As Dot-Marie Jones jokes in the newest “Bros” trailer, “They had a good run.” The world of romance is so much wider than studio romcoms would have us believe, but Billy Eichner is setting out to change that. His hotly-anticipated romantic comedy is getting closer to its release, which is when “Bros” will make cinema history as the first-ever romantic comedy from a major studio about gay men and the first major studio film to feature an all-openly LGBTQ+ principal cast....

Crazy Rich Asians Spin-Off Movie Announced, Actual Sequel Still In The Works Warner Bros. By Valerie Ettenhofer/May 6, 2022 8:33 pm EST Crowd-pleasing rom-com “Crazy Rich Asians” ends, like so many movies these days, with a mid-credits scene. The brief sequence shows Gemma Chan’s Astrid, who just ended an unhappy marriage, sharing a meaningful glance with her ex-fiance Charlie (Harry Shum Jr.) at a party. Now, it seems that hinted-at romance is getting its own full-length movie, with Deadline reporting that a spin-off about Astrid and Charlie is in the works....

Dexter Fletcher Is Certain Sherlock Holmes 3 Will Be Made Warner Bros. By Eric Vespe/June 15, 2022 10:18 pm EST Robert Downey Jr.’s output post “Avengers: Endgame” has been on the light side. In his defense, he did make a bazillion movies in the 10 years leading up to that MCU capper and a little pandemic shut the world down for almost two years in that time period, but still. For a star as big as Downey, it’s a shame we haven’t seen more of him, especially in roles that audiences have already established they love....

Elisabeth Moss Likes To Keep Audiences Guessing And Would Love To Work On Something Unexpected Universal Pictures By Shania Russell/Feb. 7, 2022 2:57 pm EST For years, audiences have seen Elisabeth Moss toil away as characters deeply entrenched in trauma. First she went from the president’s kidnapped daughter on “The West Wing,” to the very special horrors of being a 1960s working woman in “Mad Men.” One of her most notable roles thus far has been the dystopian trauma-fest of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and don’t even get me started on what her character endures in “The Invisible Man....

Emily In Paris Will Start Shooting Season 3 In June Netflix By Debopriyaa Dutta/April 12, 2022 9:17 am EST Things are bound to get progressively complicated for Emily (Lily Collins), as “Emily in Paris” will start shooting its third season in June. Series creator and executive producer Darren Star, also known for creating “Sex and the City” and “And Just Like That…,” spoke at the Paley Fest panel for “Emily in Paris,” conforming that shooting for Season 3 will start soon....

The Ceti eel Paramount For the uninitiated, a Ceti eel is a ridged, pincer-sporting sand creature that Khan (Ricardo Montalbán) harvests while stranded on the desert planet Ceti Alpha V. The eel’s young —little tiny leech monsters — could be placed in a human ear and would burrow into the brain, making one placid and susceptible to suggestion. Khan used this technique to pacify Captain Terrell (Paul Winfield) and Chekov (Walter Koenig) to steal a starship, escape into space, and enact revenge on Admiral Kirk (William Shatner)....

Gene Wilder Insisted On Improvising One Of Willy Wonka’s Most Famous Scenes Paramount Pictures By Miyako Pleines/Feb. 24, 2022 12:16 pm EST As a child, my favorite part of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” was always watching Gene Wilder glide around in his purple velvet coat and puffy bow tie. He was captivating in a way no other adult had ever been, and never once did I feel frightened of him....

Run those blood-stained costumes through the laundry Magnet Releasing Blood and gore spatter everywhere in “I Saw the Devil,” and not just in the taxi scene. In addition to the technical challenges of shooting a knife fight inside a revolving car interior, the actors also had to deal with the demands of shooting multiple takes. Each take required them to put on a fresh set of clothes since their costumes from the previous take were now covered with blood....

In The Heights Star Anthony Ramos Joins MCU Series Ironheart In Mystery Role Warner Bros. By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 9, 2022 3:03 pm EST First he nabbed a role in the Amblin movie “Distant,” then he secured a spot in the next “Transformers” sequel, and now Anthony Ramos of “Hamilton” and “In the Heights” fame is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ramos is said to be joining the MCU in the upcoming “Marvel’s Ironheart” series for Disney+ in a key role, but his official character announcement has not yet been made....

John Wayne Once Taught Ron Howard A Very Important Lesson Denis Makarenko/Shutterstock By Travis Yates/Jan. 27, 2022 11:43 am EST It’s a story that could only happen in Hollywood: an American tough-guy film icon, nearing the end of a storied career, a plucky former child star just getting started, and their chance encounter. The meeting left an indelible mark on one of Hollywood’s most accomplished figures. Ron Howard is by no means an intimidating man....

Peter Jackson’s Goofy, Gory First Film Has A Wholesome Origin Story Endeavour Productions By Witney Seibold/May 21, 2022 9:12 am EST Peter Jackson’s career really took a dramatic turn with the production of “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” in 2001. A big-budget studio production, “Lord of the Rings” was a special effects laden adaptation that brought the J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic books to life. It was an elaborate production for a trilogy of blockbuster movies that dominated the box office in the early 2000s — and his career hasn’t been the same since....

Shows Like Fleabag You Definitely Need To See BBC One By Addison Peacock/Jan. 28, 2022 4:53 pm EST “Fleabag,” Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s unflinchingly honest and funny (yet devastating) dramedy made quite a critical splash during its release. Based on a one-woman stage play that originally premiered at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, “Fleabag” is the dry, sharply written story of a woman dealing with grief, sexual desire, and an uncertainty about her place in the world in the aftermath of a terrible loss....

A Personal Aspect Warner Bros. While I think the DCEU is a bit of a mess, and I thought “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” was a genuinely bad movie, I did appreciate Ben Affleck’s take on Batman. I was particularly curious to see what Affleck was going to do at the helm of his own personal Bat-film. But it was not to be – Affleck handed directorial duties over to Matt Reeves before vacating the project entirely....
