There are bombs, and then there are bombs like Madame Web, a movie so bad it not only got an 11 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and it is not only Sony’s lowest-grossing Marvel movie by a margin of $60 million, its own star made it very clear she did not care for her own movie while she was supposed to be promoting it during the film’s press tour. That would be Dakota Johnson, who plays the title character. Johnson fired her agents shortly after Madame Web’s trailer premiered — never a great sign! — and then during its press tour she was about as candid about the final product as you’ll ever see f...

The MonsterVerse will continue without the man who has directed its last two movies. That’s Adam Wingard, the filmmaker behind 2021 Godzilla vs. Kong and this year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. He will not return to direct the next kaiju blockbuster in the series. Work has already begun on the movie’s screenplay. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wingard and Legendary’s split was “amicable” and was mostly due to Wingard turning his attention to another project outside the MonsterVerse; an original genre movie called Onslaught that A24 is planning to release in the fall.

Long the gold standard of the American animation industry, Pixar is, amidst some shakier recent history, now underdoing what is being described as “the biggest restructuring” in the company’s 30+ year history. That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, which writes today that the studio is now in the midst of laying off “approximately 14 percent of Pixar’s workforce, or around 175 employees, will be let go.” They note that “before the reductions, approximately 1,300 people worked at the animation studio.” The layoffs had been anticipated for months, and follow various other cost-cutting measu...

They’re the words X-Men fans have been waiting to hear since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox half a decade ago: Marvel is beginning work on their first X-Men feature film. Although there have been rumblings that Marvel was looking for potential writers to tackle the project late last year, it now appears they’ve settled on their preferred candidate. Deadline reports that Michael Lesslie, who co-wrote the recent film version of The Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, is “in negotiations to pen the movie.” As you would expect, Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing the film.

Hardcore fans of Disneyland love the park, but they dream for years about going to one specific place: Club 33. The exclusive establishment, first built into the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland in 1967, can only be accessed by paying members and their guests. And membership isn’t cheap; it supposedly costs thousands of dollars a year after an initial membership fee of more than $50,000, according to the Club 33 Wikipedia page. Although Club 33 is fairly obscure outside the world of Disney maniacs, the company is now developing a movie loosely based on the club.Goosebumps screenwriter ...

Goodbye Captain Kirk. So long Chris Pine. Adios Mr. Spock. (At least Zachary Quinto’s Mr. Spock.) The next Star Trekmovie appears to be a full-fledged reboot. Puck reports that Paramount is in talks with producer Simon Kinberg to become a “a franchise shepherd à la Alex Kurtzman for Trek TV projects” for the next Star Trek movie. Although Paramount has toyed with a seemingly endless array of options for a fourth Star Trek starring Pine, Quinto, and Zoe Saldana as the “Kelvin” timeline crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, this new film project is supposedly a reboot of the material. THR reports that ...

Believe it or not, that is Dwayne Johnson — sans tattoos and with a bunch of hair, along with some truly impressive prosthetic makeup — in the first photo of his upcoming film The Smashing Machine. If I didn’t know it was The Rock, I honestly would not recognize him. The film was written and directed by Benny Safdie (solo, without his brother Josh, who has been his typical collaborator since the beginning of their shared filmmaking careers) and based on the life of former MMA fighter Mark Kerr. The Smashing Machinewas previously the title of a documentary about Kerr from 2002. In Safdie’s film...

There is an old saying about prequels: If the material in them had been genuinely important in the first place it would have been part of the original film. By their very nature, prequels are narratively superfluous. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga certainly is — although it also proves quite conclusively that a film can be narratively superfluous, viscerally exciting, imaginatively designed, and sick as hell all at once. For two and a half hours, the movie unfurls the tragic early years of the true hero of 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road: Imperator Furiosa. Decades in the making, but spanning just a couple...
