You never know what Takeshi Miike will do next as a movie, much less make a 20-minute action movie called Midnight on an iPhone 15 Pro. Well, that's what he and Apple suddenly sprang on us out of nowhere. The other surprise? It's from one of the most little-known manga by God of Manga Osamu […]
We are in the new year, meaning many new movies are coming out. While much of the 2024 slate is focused on franchise films and sequels, some big-ticket original films are also coming out. One of those films is Argylle, directed by Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn has been playing in the not-superhero corner of comic book […]
Apple went into the awards season likely confident they were hitting the awards season from both angles with Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon. While the former is getting some awards consideration, said consideration seems to start and end with Lily Gladstone. As for Napeolon, while it brought it an all-right $200 million at the worldwide box […]
Heading into the awards season, it really seemed like this was going to be the year that Apple walked away with some Oscar gold. They had two big movies with impressive casts from impressive directors coming out this year. However, at the end of the day, Napoleon didn't make much of an impact one way or […]
It's a well-known fact in Hollywood that nearly everything is pitched as a trilogy because that is the ideal thing that studios want. This can be a bad thing if a writer puts the cart before the horse, doesn't make a good film for the first entry, and fills it with nothing but "wait and […]
Heading into the fall, it looked like Apple was trying to hit the awards season from two sides, and now that the dust has settled, it's looking like neither of the films will end up getting them the Oscar gold they wanted. The first one out of the gate was Killers of the Flower Moon, […]
Apple continues to take on bigger projects even as 2023 ends with Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon both doing all right. While neither of them lit the box office on fire, the numbers they pulled in would make a studio like Apple happy, and it was more than they would have made if they […]
Napoleon might prove that no one can direct cinematic battle scenes better than Ridley Scott, but the rest of the film falls short, and those bombastic battle scenes cannot compensate for it. Director: Ridley Scott Summary: An epic that details the checkered rise and fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his relentless journey to […]
A few days ago, Sony Pictures and Apple shared a scene from Napoleon, and it was the scene they used to introduce us to the movie during the Sony presentation at CinemaCon back in April. It's the Battle of Austerlitz, and it spotlights Napoleon's brutal strategy against the Russians. The clip is pretty freaking amazing, as […]
When Sony Pictures and Apple first showed us some footage from Napoleon back in April at CinemaCon, we talked about an awesome-looking battle on a frozen lake that doesn't go well for the opposing forces. It seems that Sony knows that will be one of the scenes everyone is talking about because they released about two […]
Peanuts fans, the Big Apple is in our beloved character's sights. Apple today has announced its first original feature film starring the characters we know and love, from director Steve Martino, producer Bonnie Arnold, and screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick, Craig Schulz, Bryan Schulz, and Cornelius Uliano. Apple TV+ has been home to all things Peanuts for […]
The Velveteen Rabbit is the latest classic getting the big film treatment, this time as an animated/live-action hybrid from Apple. It stars Phoenix Laroche ("The Royal Nanny") as William, and the voice cast includes Alex Lawther ("Andor") as the Velveteen Rabbit, Helena Bonham Carter ("The Crown," "Harry Potter") as Wise Horse, Nicola Coughlan ("Bridgerton") as […]
The Family Plan is a new action comedy coming to Apple TV+ on December 15th. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Monaghan, Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Saïd Taghmaoui, Maggie Q, and Ciarán Hinds. It is directed by Simon Cellan Jones from a screenplay written by David Coggeshall. In the film, which will have no theatrical release, Wahlberg […]
While many people are talking about films like The Marvels or Wish or other films like that, there is another massive movie coming out this month that we can't forget about, and that will make an impact one way or another. You don't bet against Ridley Scott for a reason. Napoleon is one of the two big films […]
To say that the relationship dynamics between Earnest [Leonardo DiCaprio] and Mollie [Lily Gladstone] in Killers of the Flower Moon would be an understatement. A lot is going on between the two of them, and the reasons why they are together, why they decide to stay together, and their various choices are the bulk of the film—or […]
Yesterday, we got a new look at Apple and Sony's upcoming Napoleon from Ridley Scott. There were many things that looked awesome about the film, but we finally got to see some more of Vanessa Kirby as Josephine. We love a lady who knows what she wants and also knows when she has a man wrapped around […]
It seems that the marketing and the reality are not quite lining up. In the lead-up to the wide release of Killers of the Flower Moon, the film has had to rely entirely on pre-recorded digital marketing, which has let Apple and Paramount control the narrative surrounding this film. It very much made it seem like […]
This awards season, a decent portion of the eyes will be focused on Apple Original Films as they have two big movies with a good chance of taking home some Oscar gold. It's still a bit too early to tell how likely any of that is, but we are seeing more about the film that […]
The first of the two big Apple Original Film releases is coming out this weekend with Killers of the Flower Moon, but Sony and Apple also have their film next month with Napoleon. Of the two films, Napoleon probably has the chance of generating a wider audience because people seem to like when Ridley Scott does historical films [mostly […]
The final trailer for Killers of the Flower Moon has dropped ahead of the theatrical release in just a few days. The massive film from Martin Scorsese has been the talk of the town since it made its debut earlier this year, but now we get to find out whether or not this film will be […]
