Project Hail Mary is shaping up to be one of the bigger movies of 2026. The early reviews are already calling it absolutely incredible, and all of the footage has been getting very positive reactions from book and non-book readers alike, which is a feat that's practically impossible to pull off most of the time. […]
Writer and director Frank E. Flowers is always grateful for the opportunities he receives to create new stories, and he'll be the first to admit how he's benefited from the partnership he's had with actor, director, writer, and producer Zoe Saldaña and her production company Cinestar to tell authentic Caribbean stories and their latest collaboration […]
Playing the swashbuckling Ercell" Bloody Mary" Bodden is the type of historic action role many dream of, and one Priyanka Chopra Jonas embraced in the Prime Video film The Bluff. Set in the 19th-century Cayman Islands, the Frank E. Flowers-directed film sees Ercell trying to live the quiet life at home when she finds her […]
Amazon MGM Studios is continuing the marketing push for Project Hail Mary. So far, the first two movies the studio has released haven't connected with audiences very well, but there is a very good chance this one will be the one that changes that. This book is beloved, and it really looks like they are translating […]
Amazon MGM Studios is continuing its big swing in 2026 for theatrical releases, and while they haven't had that big moment yet, they are very much still going for it, and Project Hail Mary has the chance to be that movie. The film is set to screen in a bunch of different specialized formats, so no matter […]
When the pandemic hit, people were very worried that movie theaters wouldn't ever recover. And while things will not ever go back to the buckwild numbers of 2017-2019, things have recovered and one of the ways they did was theaters leaning into more niche experiences. People might not be going to the theaters as much […]
The Prime Video film The Wrecking Crew has only been out for a short time, but talk about a sequel is already picking up speed. Conceptually, the new action-comedy film stars Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista as estranged half-brothers who reunite in Hawaii after their father's mysterious death and end up untangling a Yakuza-tied corruption […]
Amazon MGM Studios has some big adaptations set to come out in just a couple of weeks, and Project Hail Mary is absolutely one of the bigger ones. We got the final trailer and a big game spot last weekend, but they dropped a new IMAX poster today for all of us to see. If there […]
Masters of the Universe is one of the most treasured franchises of the 80's, but even fans can admit there is a little bit of… silliness to it. The first stab at a live-action film ignored that for the most part, but it sounds like this new version from director Travis Knight is going to […]
The final trailer and a new poster for Project Hail Mary have dropped, and much like the rest of the marketing for this movie, it's showing us a lot of footage. While fans in the comment sections have continued to say there is still a lot more to see, if you're trying to go into this […]
Masters of the Universe has a brand new TV spot out. Not sure if it is airing during the big game today, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is. No new footage is in it; it's all taken from the first trailer. Amazon and MGM Studios have pulled off the impossible, from the looks […]
It's still a bit too early to tell whether Amazon MGM Studios' commitment to the theatrical experience was the right decision, but they have at least one big movie on the way that could be all the proof anyone needs. Project Hail Mary is the kind of big-screen blockbuster that screams for the biggest screens possible, […]
Timur Bekmambetov has spent the last decade helping to build a new visual space for thrillers as a director and producer behind the modern "screenlife" approach used in various horror titles like Unfriended, Searching, Profile, and Missing. And in a recent conversation about that style and why he keeps returning to it, Bekmambetov explained that, […]
The Wrecking Crew is a new action film starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. It is now streaming on Prime Video, and unfortunately, not playing in theaters. It is directed by Angel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle) and also stars Claes Bang, Jacob Batalon, and Morena Baccarin. Jonathan Tropper wrote the script, which instantly piques my interest. Why are they skipping theaters in the […]
Things just a lot more serious for Crime 101 now that Mercy has absolutely bombed at the box office. Amazon MGM Studios declared last year that they were committed to the theatrical experience, which is great, but another part of the theatrical experience is making sure you not only release good movies but also movies people are […]
The Wrecking Crew is a new action film starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. It releases January 28, unfortunately, not in theaters but instead on Prime Video. It is directed by Angel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle) and also stars Claes Bang, Jacob Batalon, and Morena Baccarin. Jonathan Tropper wrote the script, which instantly piques my interest. Why are they skipping theaters in the doldrums […]
Okay, we might have to concede that the Highlander remake is a thing that exists. Maybe. That being said, the journey this film has been has been so long and insane that you really can't blame anyone for assuming that this isn't going to happen. Between the Masters of the Universe trailer dropping and these images, […]
Well, Amazon MGM's commitment to the theatrical experience isn't off to the best start, considering how bad Mercy did on pretty much every level. However, that's also what happens when you start off a movie whose entire concept appears extremely mediocre. Crime 101 might have been the better one to start things off with since it's based on […]
A new behind-the-scenes featurette for Crime 101 focuses on one of the coolest aspects of stuntwork: driving. Driving a car is already one of the more mundane and dangerous tasks you can do, which might be why we find the concept of watching someone do it in such dangerous ways so captivating. Even if a movie is […]
Masters of the Universe has a first trailer out, as Amazon and MGM Studios have maybe pulled off the impossible from the looks of things. Playing into 80's nostalgia and featuring our first official looks at Prince Adam, He-Man, the Power Sword, Teela, Man-At-Arms, and so many others, action flashes across the screen. Nicholas Galitzine is […]
