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 […]
Mercy takes an interesting premise and removes all the interesting parts, making it the first frustrating film experience of 2026. Chris Pratt is horribly miscast as a father who has 90 minutes to prove that he is not responsible for the murder of his wife, or the AI judge, played by Rebecca Ferguson, will execute […]
Masters of the Universe has a teaser out, as Amazon Mgm Studios has revealed that the first trailer for the live-action film will drop tomorrow. Playing into the 80's nostalgia and featuring our first official looks at Prince Adam, He-Man, the Power Sword, Teela, and Man-At-Arms in action flash across the screen at the end. Nicholas […]
Amazon MGM Studios has released the second trailer and a new poster for Crime 101. It gives us a better idea of what exactly is going on and what everyone's stakes are in the, well, crime. 2026 is the year the studios are jumping in with two feet when it comes to distribution and theatrical […]
Amazon MGM Studios is stepping onto the distribution stage in 2026, and we'll see whether its commitment to theatrical releases holds, regardless of how the films perform at the box office. Because the first one out of the gate is Mercy, and the more footage they show of us, the more this looks like at least three […]
2026 is going to be the year that Amazon MGM Studios comes to the theatrical distribution table. The fact that it's happening the same year that Netflix is talking about shrinking the theatrical window for Warner Bros. films even more is an irony that shouldn't be lost on anyone. We don't know how this jump […]
2026 is the year we will finally get to see what Amazon MGM Studios has in store for the theatrical release table. They made some big promises last year and came out swinging at CinemaCon, but now the movies will have to speak for themselves in a couple of different ways. Not only will they […]
We got to see some footage from Mercy at the surprise Amazon MGM Studios panel at CinemaCon back in April, and the introduction consisted of star Chris Pratt being rolled out onto the stage while strapped to a chair; we're getting more of that. The second trailer for the new film, which is giving some serious Minority Report vibes, shows how badly […]
Michael Showalter is promising something darker from his next team-up with Anne Hathaway. In a new interview about his holiday comedy Oh. What. Fun., the director, confirmed that their upcoming thriller, Verity, has already been filmed and will showcase a very different side of their creative partnership. Reflecting on reuniting after the romance drama The […]
Yesterday, it became official; one of the oldest movie studios, Warner Bros., has officially been acquired by the first streaming service, Netflix. In many ways, people were not surprised. Warner Bros. has changed hands so many times in the last decade that if each leadership change didn't come with layoffs, it would be funny. There […]
IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have launched a brand-new developer diary series for 007 First Light, which they are calling Beyond The Light. An odd title, as it sounds like a faith-centric podcast, but I guess they liked the title. The first episode focuses on the gameplay for this major James Bond video game, […]
Rebecca Yarros is one of the hottest authors around these days, and her ballerina thriller, Variation, is her latest novel to be optioned for a film. Amazon has picked it up, with It Ends With Us screenwriter Christy Hall penning the script. Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground and Misty Copeland's Life in Motion Pictures […]
When the first trailer for Project Hail Mary was released, fans were a bit on the fence about it. The trailer gave away one of the big plot points in the book, and within the context of the narrative, it's supposed to take the reader by surprise. The belief was that perhaps Amazon MGM Studios could […]
