Despite the fact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has never been worse, Warner Bros. is one of a couple of studios that are looking to release a major blockbuster into theaters. While they are giving Wonder Woman 1984 a simultaneous streaming release on HBO Max, the movie is still hitting theaters domestically and internationally. It […]
The Fantastic Beasts series have had kind of a weird ride so far. The first movie did pretty well and got generally favorable reviews from critics and fans of the Harry Potter series. This was the beginning of a multi-part story that Warner Bros. was planning on telling, but the second movie did not do as […]
The future of cinematic releases continues to change as theater closures increase and box office numbers dwindle. The shift has essentially gone two routes — either postponing releases until 2021 or released with limited theaters and a hasty release for either VOD or streaming services. So far, films like The Craft: Legacy, Mulan, and Freaky […]
We always knew that Wonder Woman 1984 was going to be a movie that was going to have a massive impact, but a year ago, no one could have predicted this. A year ago, Wonder Woman 1984 was going to be the real test of the Wonder Woman franchise for Warner Bros. and the question of […]
Earlier this month, Johnny Depp revealed in an Instagram post that Warner Bros. asked him to resign from his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the third entry in the Fantastic Beasts series and that he would be complying with those wishes. Depp's personal life, including his extremely contentious divorce from actress Amber Heard, has made the […]
The first Superman cartoon from the famous Fleischer brothers was in cinemas in 1941. Not only did it successfully adapt Superman into movies for the first time, but it did so in full colour, with painstaking animation, and invented aspects that would stick with the character over the decades, including "Faster than a speeding bullet! […]
The ongoing COVID-19 has pretty much ground everything in 2020 to a halt. Those of us who go to conventions or film festivals got C2E2 and Sundance, and that was about it. Since March, most people haven't been to a movie theater, and those of us that have ventured out to theaters for the occasional […]
As the pandemic continues to decimate revenue for cinemas, Warner Bros decided to do what only a few studios decided on: compromising on a simultaneous release of one of their tentpole blockbusters in Wonder Woman 1984 for theatres and their streamer HBO Max. At least one national chain in AMC Theatres is on board. AMC […]
In a move that might shake up the movie industry as we know, Warner Bros. has finally made a decision when it comes to Wonder Woman 1984. After months of delays and people wondering whether or not this movie would see the light of day in 2020, with most people thinking not, Warner Bros. has officially pulled […]
The topic of Zack Snyder's version of Justice League (dubbed the Snyder Cut) has been a constant conversation since the mixed reception to the 2017 superhero movie, but we finally have a brand new trailer to showcase the re-release. The film initially became a collaborative project after Joss Whedon stepped in to help Snyder, who […]
This feels a little late, but here we are. There was this thing that happened in the early 2010s when people decided that it was time to cash in on the idea of old cartoons. Alvin and the Chipmunks in 2007 and The Smurfs in 2011 were the two biggest movies that did this concept, and […]
Zack Snyder's Justice League is one of those strange projects where it's kind of unreal that it's really happening. The theatrical version of the movie was a legendary dud at the box office, critically, and more importantly, with the fans. Director Zack Snyder needed to step away from the production of Justice League for an entirely justified […]
James Gunn posted a tease on his Instagram account today about his upcoming and highly anticipated Suicide Squad film. The post contains a picture of the director with Sylvester Stallone, with the following caption: "Always love working with my friend @officialslystallone & our work today on The Suicide Squad was no exception. Despite Sly being an iconic […]
I must admit, I had not heard a peep about these rumors that Amber Heard would not be a part of Aquaman 2 whenever the production gets started. I know that a lot has gone on in her personal life and such, but with the first film making as much as it did and her […]
For more than half of 2020, every cinematic release has been postponed, shifted, or in certain circumstances, shifted to VOD for at-home viewing. Aside from movies that are awaiting release dates, films that have yet to finish production like the upcoming reboot of the highly anticipated Mortal Kombat are leaving us feeling like we'll never […]
Godzilla vs. Kong is the upcoming monsterverse battle that's been brewing for years, and it's about time Godzilla gets a chance to shine. In the 1962 film King Kong vs. Godzilla, it was apparent that the towering primate was the winner of the kaiju clash, with only implications that Godzilla could have survived the battle. […]
While there are approximately ten billion other things happening in the world, this one is certainly interesting. The Fantastic Beasts series went from a sure thing that was going to help keep the lights on at Warner Bros. for years to come to one of the most high-profile missteps of a major franchise not called […]
The biggest litmus test for cinema viability for 2020 was Warner Bros' Tenet. Despite the billions lost in cinemas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film still banked just under $350 million globally, even with a lackluster domestic return of $53.8 million. While promoting Tom Shone's latest book "The Nolan Variations," the director and writer […]
The world of video games has endless opportunities when it comes to the takeover of the immersive medium. Some of these more successful titles have received the highly coveted cinematic adaptations, from franchises like Resident Evil, Pokemon, Tomb Raider, and the upcoming Monster Hunter being prime examples of the power of video game content. While […]
As the second Marvel Cinematic Universe director to work on a DC Extended Universe project, James Gunn brings all the zaniness and charm to DC's The Suicide Squad as he did for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy films. The director spoke with Empire about the Warner Brothers film and how he distinguishes his version from […]
