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 ...

The prophecy came true: Dune: Part Two is now available for streaming. Max subscribers can watch the film at home right now. The conclusion of director Denis Villeneuve’s epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel continues the story of his 2021 film Dune, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, and many more. In Part Two, Chalamet’s Paul Atreides adjusts to his new life among the Fremen people of Arrakis, and is slowly pushed by his allies into embracing a prophecy that he is the “Lisan al Gaib,” an off-world prophet who will unite the F...

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...

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...

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...

Right off the bat: We don’t need more movie sequels in this world. We’ve got enough. We’ve got more than enough. We’re good. If Hollywood made less sequels, I would be fine with it. If they made half as many sequels, I would be delighted. BUT. IF we were to get more sequels — and given the state of the movie business, we are always going to get more sequels — these are the ones it would be nice to see. In some cases, they are no longer possible; actors or directors have passed away, creative partnerships have broken up, or too much time has passed since the original films came out. But all of ...

Hugh Jackman spent almost 20 years making X-Men movies shackled by a PG-13 rating. At least until 2017’s Logan, he couldn’t swear, and certainly couldn’t do much with his claws besides wave them in the air a whole bunch. His Wolverine never got to truly cut loose. Based on the trailers for Jackman’s return to the X-Men universe in Deadpool & Wolverine, there are no such restrictions this time. The latest trailer, which is here to hype the fact that you can now buy advance tickets for the film, contains more F-bombs than other entire phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And it’s only one mi...

If only IHOP stood for “Imaginary House of Pancakes.” Then I wouldn’t have to eat anything today. Alas, unlike the magical creatures in John Krasinski’s new kids movie, IHOP is very real. And so is their new themed menu inspired by Krasinski’s IF, which consists of four entrées and two drinks. Today, I’m going to eat all of it. Now, you might be wondering: Why would a person with multiple college degrees, two kids, and no evident death wish do such a thing? I ask myself that same question a lot. It all started a few years ago when, looking for a mea culpa to offer my boss after a screwup, I vo...
