Yet another Hunger Gamesprequel is on the way. On the hells of the very successful book and film The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Hunger Games creator Suzanne Collins announced today the impending publication of a sequel to her prequel, titled Sunrise on the Reaping. At almost the exact same time, Lionsgate — the distributor of The Hunger Games movies — announced it would be turning Sunrise on the Reaping into a feature film. Panem loves its synergy. Francis Lawrence, who has directed every Hunger Games movie since the first sequel, Catching Fire, is in talks to direct Sunrise on the Reaping ...

We’ve got LEGOmovies, LEGO Batman movies, LEGO Ninjago movies. But what about a LEGO biopic? In what would seem to be a first, none other than Pharrell produced and starred in a biography of his own life made with LEGO animation. It’s called Piece By Piece. Pharrell plays himself and narrates his life story, while animation recounts the various events of his rise to fame and success. Celebrity voices in the movie playing themselves include Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg — all as LEGO people, obviously. (This is clearly LEGO-style...

If you grew up loving the Sister Act movies, this one is for you: A reunion of the Sister Act 2 choir, now more than 30 years later and all grown up, singing the same song they sang in the film, “Oh Happy Day.” The reunion happened this week on The View, which is co-hosted by Sister Act star Whoopi Goldberg. Goldberg got back in the habit (thank you) and conducted the grown-up children’s choir in a genuinely lovely rendition of “Oh Happy Day” on the show. You can watch the full performance below.

There’s something fascinating about the human need to quantify subjective opinions. We rate movies with stars (and even half-stars), we give them thumbs up or down, we aggregate their reviews until we determine if they are “certified fresh.” (What could be more authoritative than certified freshness? Who could argue with that?!?) These numbers sometimes fly in the face of our own personal opinions — and occasionally seem to defy what we understand to be the wider consensus based on our conversations with other movie lovers, or from reading reviews, looking at box-office charts, and following w...

Robert Downey Jr. is not ruling out a potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, he says he’s “become surprisingly open-minded” to the idea. That’s what Downey told Jodie Foster in a conversation published on Variety. Asked whether he would ever consider reprising his role as Tony Stark in a new project, Downey replied… It’s just crazily in my DNA. Probably the most like-me character I’ve ever played, even though he’s way cooler than I am. I’ve become surprisingly open-minded to the idea. Between Nyad and [Night Country] and, for me, Oppenheimer and then Sympathizer, it really...

There is a stereotype about comic book fans, perpetrated by the media, by movies, by TV shows that they’re socially awkward, not the best at social cues, and sometimes quite smelly. Not all stereotypes are true. This one … well, this one may be kind of true. It is true enough, at least, that one comic book store has had to institute a “smell policy” to try to improve the atmospheric conditions inside its space. Mayhem Comics and Games of Ames, Iowa posted on their Facebook page that as a result of “complaints from other players and customers about certain people’s odors making it uncomfortable...

Bad Boys: Ride or Dieopens with a credit that calls it “A Don Simpson / Jerry Bruckheimer Production,” which is a particularly impressive feat since Don Simpson died in 1996, less than a year after the release of the original Bad Boys. The involvement of a ghostly producer sort of suits this sequel, though, which concerns itself with — of all things! — the possibility of higher planes of spiritual existence, along with numerous scenes where the heroes receive messages from beyond the grave from their long-dead boss. These are not necessarily elements one expects from the third sequel to a Mich...

Given the series’ roots in sci-fi horror, it’s sort of odd that it’s taken this long for someone to try to bring Alien back to its original (and massively successful) conception as a haunted house in space. The guy who finally did it is Fede Alvarez, maybe the purest horror director the Alien series has ever had; he previously made the Evil Dead remake and the first Don’t Breathe. Alvarez’s take on Alien: Romulusseems pretty simple: What if there was another Alien movie a lot like the original one? And what if there was a brave woman at the center of the adventure (Priscilla’s Cailee Spaeny) a...

A few years ago, Jeremy Renner seemed poised to become the second lead of the Mission: Impossiblefranchise — or maybe even take the whole series over from Tom Cruise if he ever got tired of jumping out of planes or climbing up the sides of buildings. Renner co-starred in the fourth film, Ghost Protocol, and the fifth, Rogue Nation, as Agent Brandt, a secret agent who becomes a trusted ally of Cruise’s super spy, Ethan Hunt. But then Brandt vanished. He wasn’t in Mission: Impossible — Fallout or Dead Reckoning. Renner said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that there were two reasons you didn’t...
